BOOZE IS TO FLOW
 ON PHOENIX STREETS

= PHOENIX. Ariz., Dec. 25-Acting under an order of the superior court issued today. Sheriff Adams tomor- row will dispose of nearly one thous- and gallons of various liquors seized since Arizona went dry, employing the unusual method of spraying the business streets of Phoenix with the liquor.
 One of the largest of the city's sprinkling wagons will be used. A deputy sheriff will ride with the driver of the water wagon" to see that no thirsty individuals regale themselves from the spouts. Prohi- bition forces expect to make gala affair of the incident.
 Ever since Arizona went into the cry column the sheriff has been adding to his contrab band stock of booze. He now has a good sized room at the county jail about filled and has been forced to ask relief of the court. At first he had in tended to cart the liquors to the river and dump them over board, but recently he decided this was too mediocre a method. The use of a city sprinkling wagon was sug- 1gested to him and he adopted the idea.
 A band will lead the procession, which will include scores of auto mobiles in which prohibition forces rill ride.

GOV. HUNT GETS FLOW SHARE
 FROM WILLIAM ]. BRYAN

PHOENIX, Ariz., Dec. 25 Gov. Hunt received yesterday afternoon probably the most unique Christmas present contained in the mails com ing into Phoenix It came from Will liam Jennings Bryan, and now proudly rests on the governors desk in use as a paper weight.
 Evidently believing in spreading his peace propaganda in every form possible, the distinguished com moner has had made blow share in miniature resting on solid steel base. The whole thing is silver plated On one side of the blow share is engraved the following words: They shall beat their swords into blow shares" Isaiah 2:4. On one side of the shaft attached to the blow share is engraved "Diplo- macy is the art of keeping cool" while on the opposite side rests the words, Nothing is final between friends
 The whole creation is we'll got up and is an eloquent piece of work throughout. The governor is exceed ingly proud of his little present, though it is not known whether he takes the same fatherly interest in the peace movement as does MT. Bryan.

WHO SUCCEEDS MIR. CAMPBELL |S
 QUESTION

Who will be the next tax commis- sioner? That question is being asked dozen times day at the state house, seemingly because practically everyone is anxious to know who his or her neighbor is going to be.
 According to report at the capital the governor has put it up to Chair man Charles R. Howe of the tax com mission, And member c. M. Zander to get tdgether and decide who they would like to have take the position which WEI be empty when Governor eiect Campbell becomes the head of the executive department It was stated few days ago at republican headquarters that Mr Campbell would probably resign about the 2S.
 The governor is maintaining the same silence in regard to the new ap- pointment as he does about all off cial business.
 Half a dozen prominent democrats hazarded guesses yesterday that the new appointee would be Homer Wood of Prescott. In fact one Demo crat said that Mr. Wood had been ten dered the place, and could have it if he would condescend to accept It was said, though that MT Woods ex- tensive interests in the north would aot permit of his giving his whole attention to the office. i Ohers mentioned for the place are Sam Barclay. member of the state land appraisers board; James H. Kerby, assessor of Greenlee county Sam Proctor of Williams, and A. B Ming, assessor of Yuma county
 Next to Homer Wood, Ming seems % have the best opportunity to bring home the bacon His name is men toned prominently in connection with the place by those who are opposed tc the governor, as well as by those 'who. are in his parade, so it seems that in case Wood decides to remain On his barony in the north, Ming will l,e the lucky candidate.
 Anu Dy IuO way, Iu0 T0SI Ol Iu0 Cdl didates who went through fire ant water and put terrific dents in the family bankroll in order to attain of fee at the late election, all feel that whoever succeeds MT Campbell vii i,e lucky indeed. Think of it, they say. "All he has to do is to write in letter to the governor spend { little money on postage writing te l; few friends asking them to pull a fev strings, and the first think he knows he is in office'' But then some pes sln,ist spoke up and intimated tha
 perhaps the lucky appointee won't b. i so lucky after all. It is pointed ou
 that the governor has come dowI heavy on his appointees for ready cas- : with which to finance his contest, an no5< doubt the new tax commissions will come in for his share of tn draining. .i.e. ttt' .es.. 7

COUNTY OFFICERS WANT SALARY
 INCREASE
Submit Figures to County Central Committee for Their Approval. In creases Range from $500 to $500 Per Year.

In conformity with the action taken by other counties of the State, the officers and deputies of Greenlee county have submitted to the demo- cratic central committee figures of a suggestive raise in their salaries, for the consideration of the committee which will meet next Sunday. The move seems to be concerted action on the part of the officers and depu- ties in the various, counties of the state for the purpose of having salar- ies raised, which are now considered inadequate.
 If the move meets with the approval of the various county. central com mittees the matter will be brought to the attention of the legislature in session next month. Should that body take favorable action on the proposition the law granting the in- crease would take effect two years hence and insure for the officers then elected the benefit of the raise.
 The recommendation or rejection of the proposition by the Greenlee county central committee will be awaited with interest by the public, as well as the outcome in the other counties of the state.
 The following figures submitted by the Greenlee county officers and depu' ties show the increase asked for this county as compared with the present

PHOENIX, Ariz., Dec. 22.-Petition for the suspension of the proposed ad- vance on coal from Gallup, N. M., to points in Arizona on the lines of the Southern Pacific and Fl Paso&South- western have been filed with the in terstate commerce commission.

BRYAN DEFEATED IN NEBRASKA
 PRIMARIES

OMAHA. April 21. - It is now cer- tain that William Jennings Bryan was defeated in the Democratic primaries as candidate for delegate to the Democratic national convention in St. Louis. The result of the vote is a rude shock to the Bryan supporters, who have always considered their idol as invincible. at least in his home state. The voting is taken as real test of President Wilson's strength with the people, and is considered an emphatic approval of his preparedness program, which Bryan has been so consistently fighting. and which caused him to resign from the Wilson cabinet.

The demand made by Von Bernstorff on Lansing for the re- turn of the documents seized in VOn- igle's office in New York, raises the interesting question as to whether or not the German embassy assumes re sDonsibiity for the existence of the papers, which are alleged to disclose German spy system in America of large proportions. Today both the departments of state and of justice announced their willingness to deliver the seized documents to Bernstorff if the ambassador would identify them

W|CKERSHAN MAY NUT BE THE !
 NOMINEE

SEWARD, April 21. = It is under stood here that Delegate Wickersham will not be given the Republican nomi- nation for delegate to Congress un- less he makes terms with the Shackle- ford element, which is in control of the party machinery in Alaska. The committee of four which was selected to name a candidate for delegate will do what Shackleford tells them, and Wickersham will have to be a good dog if he wants to have the official label of a Republican tackled on to his congressional kite. The platform is comprehensive, and covers a multi tude of subjects, including statehood, construction of additional roads and trails throughout Alaska, extension of cable and wireless systems, additional aids to navigation, and sonorous slams at President Wilson. The platform condemns the so-called fish monopoly which is said to be divesting Alaska waters of their riches, and demands that the operations of the trust be investigated. It declares in favor of the establishment of a community property law in Alaska similar to that in Washington, which would give husband and wife equal shares in pro perty earned after marriage by the joint efforts of both.

CHINA NEEDS RAILROAD FUR
 DEFENSIVE PURPOSES

PEKING, April 21. - The ministry of communications has requested the government to provide immediate funds for the construction of rail way from Picking to JehOl. the ancient capital of Manchuria. This line is es- pecially needed at present for defen- sive purposes, as the bandits in Man churia and Inner Mongolia are very active and the government requires speedy means of communication with the northern country. The route has already been surveyed, but because of the lack of funds no construction work has been done. The probable cost Of the line is $12,0O0,000 Mexican. Part of this sum will be realibed from the profits of the Peking- -Mukden and the Peking- Hankow government railways. and the remainder will be made up by the Notation of a short term loan.

SLIGHT GAINS FUR FRENCH AT
 VERDUN

PARIS, April 21. - The official communique issued this morning re- cites further offensive operations of the French troops around Nerdun. The French stormed the German positions and captured number of the enemy's trenches. taking four officers and 150 men prisoner. The offensive was in the region of Deadman's Hill, which has been the scene of so much bloody fighting and the assaults were night attacks. East of the Mouse the Ger mans made several fierce infantry at tacks, which were all repulsed, the Germans charging forward in the face of a terrible hail of machine gun and light artillery fire, which swept the ground between the opposing trenches, and tore great holes in the gray clad ranks of the Teutons. The French also advanced south of the Haudre- mont wood, making several slight gains in this vicinity.

At Parral a hundred Villaistas were reported to have passed southwards about two days before the arrival of the Ameri- cans. General Lozana, the Carranza commander at Parral, reported that he had fought a battle with this band and had killed forty-two of them.

GERMAN SCHOOL CHILDREN ID
 HELP

BERLIN, April 21. - With subscrip- tions to the fourth German war loan scarcely under way, appeals to the school children to repeat their efforts during the earlier loans are already being sent out. This time especial emphasis is being laid on the possi- bility of pupils in higher schools, who are now, or have been, earning money of their own, subscribing even more than they did last time.
 School children subscribed to the third loan about forty million marks, it is estimated. In twenty institutions in Berlin alone the pupils put in S2,- 663 marks in sums of from one mark upward. To encourage a repetition of this willingness to subscribe, the mag istrate of Berlin has arranged to sup ply the schools such clerical necessi- ties as appeals to parents. receipts and subscription blanks. so that no school will be under any expense and may subscribe. clear, as much as possible

WASHINGTON. April 21 Addi- tional indictments will be asked of certain American-German sympathiz- CTS. The names have been learned as result of the disclosures made by Horst Von der Goltz, the German spy, who has revealed the ramifcations of the system to the secret service men. From what has so far been learned it can be stated conservatively that the revelations disclose a plot of huge dimensions to injure this country and they open a field of inquiry which seems practically unlimited.
