II Is the one thing that might force
his hand and make him feel he
should Immediately ask through the
medium OF administration leaders of
personal appeal for the powers he
Is known to want in handling the in
ternational situation.
II was pointed out today that the
president has two alternatives. One
is introduction by his congressional
leaders OF a Joint resolution provid-
ing an appropriation and free rein in
handling the situation: the other is
the personal appeal In which he
would be expected once more to out
line the whole situation and suggest
that, in view OF the present critical
condition OF affairs congress should
vest in him broad powers" to pro-
tect American rights as he sees fit.
II appears q near-certainty that
the president will reach decision on
these two alternatives within the
next few days because of the proxl-
nifty of adjournment, 1t may be
stated positively that unless the sit
uatlon takes drastic turns for the
worse. the president does not want,
and win do all In his power to avoid
an extra session of congress.

FRANCIS HENEY
PLEADS ACTION
F0RRELAT|vE

The Three Rs mine, well known
property near Nogales, which was
again in the supreme court yesterday
When attorneys argued for and against
re-hearing of the case which had
been appealed from Santa Cruz county
and ordered dismissed.
The 'Three RS formerly was the
property of r. R. Richardson, from
whose initials the mine took its name
and Ben Heney. The property consist
ed of many mining claims gradually
| gathered together. Little work had
been done on the mine and apparently
not much was thought of it, for Heney
sold his interest to Richardson for a
nominal sum.
Shortly after the sale, the mine sud
denly developed to be valuable prop
erty, and Heney, in his suit to have the
sale set aside, alleged that Richardson
had known that the mine was valuable
and had concealed it: that the purchase
had been made by fraud. The court
sustained Heney whose brother, Fran
els j. Heney, had an interest in the
mines with him and set aside the sale.
| In the appeal to the supreme court
| the decision was reversed, and the case
| ordered dismissed. The supreme court
yesterday listened to arguments for and
against a re-hearing of the case.
Francis j. Heney. who was in Phoe-
nix and made an argument yesterday
! before the supreme court, is one of the
| best-knoWn attorneys of the Pacific
coast. He was prosecutor in the brib-
cry cases against Schmidt, Abe Ruet
and members of the San Francisco
| council. He also was appointed prose-
cutor in the oregon land fraud cases
At one time he was attorney general

John Jones and John Burton, both
"eg-oes- arrested by Policeman John
j. McGrath, were held by Justice
Wheeler yesterday to the superior court
for grand larceny, in the theft of a
pocketbook containing jewelry and cash
of the value of $3.50 from George Kane's
barber shop last Saturday evening.
Burton made a confession, but cur
ious one generating himself and i'm
plicating Jones who denied any knowl-
edOe of the theft.
Mr.. Kane kept the pocket hood in a
safe and it is supposed that it fell on
the floor in the course of the removal
Of some papers from the safe. 1t con-
tanned a diamond stud, a diamond
stickpin. gold and platinum cuff-but-
tons and a ring beside s21 in cash. All
the property except the money has been
recovered.
Burton said that he was given the
jewelry by Jones who said he had got
il from a customer whose shoes he
was cleaning. He told Burton to find
out how much it was worth and to sell
it. The proceeds would be split fifty
fifty. One ieweler said that the jeWelry
was worth 500. About the same valu-
alton was placed on it by another. Bur
ton did not try to sell it to either or
them but on Monday re raised va on
it at the Glover Leaf club, colored
organization formed for the upllft OF
the members. Burton said he did not
try to raise any more at first because
he thought he could make that small
amount good. But in the uplifting de-
partment of the club Burton lost the
money and later received $50 more ca

End was widespread, it is probable
that the monetary loss will not be
heavy, for many of the buildings
wrecked were those of small business
men. The raid had been over but a
short time when the king motored
through the district. His prompt
tude in thus manifesting sympathy
with the sufferers appeared to he
deeply appreciated. Later the king
visited the hospitals.
The main result of today's raid, as
in past cases, has been the killing OF
civilians, including many children.
No military damage was done. 1t was
not a case of accurate dropping OF
bombs when once the planes were
over the city. In the East End, for
instance, a bomb could not have been
dropped without doing damage The
course the raiders took can easily be
, traced by the damaged buildings,
which in many cases are close to-
gether.
In some places a whole block OF

SMELL LIQUOR
BUT FAIL upon
AN AGREEMENT

jury after an all-day trial in Judge
Stanford'S court was unable to agree
on the guilt or innocence of Alfred
Chisholm. charged with bootlegging.
Chisholm is a negro. porter a Han
ny's. The evidence against him con-
sisted of the testimony of Parker and
Gregg, Thiel detectives, and two mint
bottles containing liquid that looked
like whisky. The jury was given an
opportunity to ascertain if it smelled
like it.
In behalf of Chisholm there was the
testimony of Mr.. Hanny as to his good
character, and the expert testimony of
several gentlemen from the south who
pointed out the difficulty of telling one
colored man from another unless one is
well acquainted with him
The use which may be made of reg
lstration cards was Illustrated in the
cross examination by former State
Corporation Commissioner Paul Geary,
counsel for the defendant, of the two
detectives. 1t turned out that one of
them, Gregg, had no card. He said he
had registered at Los Angeles on June
3. That day Mr.. Geary showed fell on
Sunday, day that is religiously OBJ
served by federal officials everywhere.
In the course of his argument to the
jury, Mr.. Geary made the most of that
disclosure and intimated that the de-
tective would be called upon to prove
by other evidence than his own word
that he had registered.
The argument for the state was
opened by Assistant County Attorney
Robert Jarrett and was closed bv
County Attorney Laney.

force of the explosion in such con-
fined area was naturally terrific. A
basin shaped hole several feet deep
was made in the floor. Most of the

of the babies had arms and legs torn
off; others were shockingly lacerated,
some stunned and others buried in the

The room was filled with the screams

of whom were crying distractedly for
their mothers. Helpers who rushed in
from the outside found four women

although covered with blood, giving
what help was possible to their little
charges and trying to calm those who
were only slightly hurt. Many of the
children were lying limp and helpless
across the shattered desks bleeding
from terrible wounds. Others were
writing in pain. Some bodies were
unrecogniZable.

speedily as possible, and, in the alb
sence of ambulances, took the worst

that the war would not last a year, and when the statement of Lord Kitchener as to a three years duration was ridf- culed
 Tt has resulted, however, in having every available man called to the col Ors and has caused great confusion in the filling of medical offices with com- petent men, as in boards of health, staffs of hospitals etc., as well as producing great hardship in portions of the United Kingdom from lack of physicians, and placing great bur- den on the older and disabled mem- bers of the profession united for military service.
 ''The Council of National Defense at Washington, very wisely determined at the start on what might be termed a selective volunteer system, by when each hospital was asked to indicate how many of it's staff could be spared and yet be capable of thorough ana efficient work.
 That no interne should be taken until he had completed years work in some hospital. Thus insuring more thoroughly trained men for. the Med- ical Officers Corps, and at the same time not interfering with the normal running of the hospitals. That the faculties of our medical schools should not be depleted so as to prevent the. carrying on of their work, and medical students were urged to continue their studies. That medical men in isolated districts. where their loss would mean a hardship to the surrounding com- should not be called.
 The removal of a large force of nj edical men to foreign shores, esti- mated at ten thousand to each million of troops, will of necessity throw a large burden on those who remain, when great numbers of troops, incapacitated on the fields of battle, return for care and treatment, but with the wise provisions that have been made and the patriotic devotion of the medical profession, it is certain that neither our military nor civil population will suffer from lack of adequate medical attention"
