Statement of Attorneys

The statement made by the attorneys for the intervenor setting forth thelr position, was as follows:
 We desire, your Honor, to make mo- tion and statement that we think will shorten this case.
 We want to assure your Honor that the testimony which has been intro duced in this case so far, comes as total surprise to our clients, the Mer- chants and Manufacturers association. They believed then and they believe now, that they had perfect right to oppose the minimum wage measure as it was negotiable and difficult of ap- plication. Deeming it such, they had the right to organize and obtain by all legitimate means. a referendum of the bill. In absolute good faith, and not being able to attend to the matter per sonally themselves, they employed the initiative petition concern, and MT. Creighton of that concern, In good faith, employed the MT. and Mrs. Bess. We are satisfied that the Bess' in good faith, employed by the medium of ad- vertising for them, several circulators to circulate these referendum petitions. The evidence further satisfies us that some of these circulators deliberately violated the law in their anxiety to ob- tain signatures to these referendum petitions This was absolutely without the knowledge of our clients, the Mer- chants and Manufacturers association, and without the knowledge Of MT. Creighton and of the Bess'.
 We are still convinced that perhaps, technically this referendum would pre- vail. but even if it could prevail, our clients, the Merchants and Manufac- turers' association do not desire to ben eft by petitions which were obtained fraudulently and which bear false sig natures. They are class of men whose record has always been clean Tn thls community, and they would rather sui fer bill to become law which they deemed to be negotiable and unjust rather than to defeat the same by means, which in themselves, are in equitable and unjust, and when II oe- veloped that a large number Of these signatures were obtained fraudulentiy and through illegal action on the part of some of the circulators. both oui clients and other firms felt that though thev might technically win this case they do not desire to be in the position of doing so under the circumstances.
 We feel certain that the secretary oi state. who at all times has been dis i interested official, feels the same as we do about it.
 Therefore, the intervenors withdraw | from this case and withdraw any op' l lection to a permanent injunction pe- i ing entered herein.
 We desire to assure your Honor, tha 1 our clients will and we are likewlss
 informed by MT. Creighton that they will, lend every assistance they can te aid in the prosecution and conVlctiof | of these circulators that this eVldehct establishes have violated the la" Respectfully,

THREE CHARGED
 ALIEN ENEMIES.
 PLACED IN JAIL.

Arrested upon a presidential warrant charged with being alien enemies, Karl W Kostner, Ferdinand Kubik and Bruno Albert were taken in charge yes terday morning at Globe and Miami by United States Marshal Dillon. The three men will be prosecuted at the coming term of the federal court under the section of the congressional enact ment recently passed which covers such cases
 The arrest was made after the secret service had thoroughly investigated the actions of the three men. United States District Attorney Flynn was in close touch with the situation and it is understood that the men were taken in charge after he had supplemented the investigation of the secret service with an investigation of his own.
 Details of the cause of the arrest of the three men, that is, exactly what they had done to bring them under the displeasure of the secret service in the Globe Miami district is lacking, nor will information be obtainable until MT.

MINIMUM WAGE LAW SUSTAINED
 IN COURT HERE
Intervenor Comedies That
 Frauds Were Committed
 in Securing Names upon the Referendum Petitions

Evidence of fraud and misrepresen- tation as alleged by the labor organiza- tions in an injunction proceeding against placing the minimum wage law for women on the ballot at the next general election, resulted in the with drawal of the intervenorS, the Mer- chants and Manufacturers association, through their attorneys Bullard and Jacobs from the case yesterday. The attorneys in admitting that the sig natures had been obtained by fraud practically closed the case. Judge Stratford will make an order today at which time the minimum wage for women of $10 a week will go into effect.
 The usual throng of witnesses and spectators crowded the court room and when the statement of Bullard and Jacobs was read there was no mistak- ing the sensation it caused. despite the fact that the morning session mad adjourned for conference of counsel relative to the disposition of the case. After the motion had been filed, the court room thinned rapidly. In few moments. however, every bench was again filled and the attorneys at their places inside the rail In order to avoid any possible dispute in any other part of the state it was the plaintiff s idea to make his case as strong as possible. Several witnesses were called who testified to forgeries and this morning the evidence will be continued, after which the court will make the injunction permanent.
 Following is the statement made by Bullard and Jacobs:

It not only saved her good name but it gave legitimacy to the child she thought nameless and re- stored her to the world, a good wo- man.

NO STARVING OUT
Of GREAT BRITAIN

London. Feb, si,--Germany's hope
of starving out" England by her
submarine warfare. has gone glim-
mering. In the view OF the British,
The relentless" u-boat war Is de-
clared to have hardly made u dent
In the vast commerce OF the United
Kingdom.
On the other hand. the p9lllc i'm,
plicity believes British defense mca,
sures have caused numerous Germaa
losses, There was great hope cx-
pressed that some stat cmcnt of these
losses by the British would be made
by Sir Edward Carson today, First
lord OF the admiralty was due to make
his hrst detailed speech as minis.
ter In presenting the naval budget
to the house OF commons,
Sir Edward Is known personally TO
favor greater publicity for the OPP
erations OF the antl-submarine
guards. but any revelations OF cap
lures or sinkings OF L boats would
be contrary 10 policy OF silence To
which the British government had ad-
hered since the start OF the war.
But II the admiralty lord does not
bare these facts. he Is at least expect
ed formally to announce tho ofilcial
hgures OF shipping olearanccs and of
losses by submarines and mines.
London newspapers during the past
few days have reflected a sentiment
fostercd by certain group OF Brit.
ons, urging that Admiral Lord Fisher
again be given voice In admiralty
councils and granted free hand to
cope with the submarine danger. The
former sea lord is known to have GER
tain plans TO this end. but Is quoted
by his advocates as being unwilling
to put them into operation unless
given a free rein.
The Northcliffe newspapers are bit
tcrly combating such u change
whereby Fisher. who is now 10
years old. would be put In charge OF
work carried on by younger and more
energetic men.
