EXHIBIT I: FAIRNESS.


 Germany accusing the United States and it's people with violation of neutrality From the very inception great European struggle; since the first bushel of wheat sold Allied nations after Aug ust l. 1914 the hue and cry from the Teutonic nations has been: "The United States is Unfair" Now comes disciples that emminent and wonderworker George w P Hunt-and endeavor by their words, to emulate Germany.

 James Macks, native of Ireland, pioneer of this state, died Saturday night as a result of injuries he sus- tained from a fall down the front steps of the Pioneers Home at Pres colt He apparently has no relatives. Macks came to Arizona in 1879, arriv- ing at Tombstone. He was born in Ireland on June Is, 1S47. and has lived most of his life on this side of the water, in Arizona. Superintendent Wren believes that at the time of his death. Macks was demented.

This oc- cured about o'clock Saturday even- ing, and death followed in about all hour.
