LADY PATRON
Complain Of Over Crowded Bus And
incidentally Ill-Mannered
Men.
Communicated


Dear Sir:
On Sunday afternoon, one week
ago, | took passage on the West
Shore Bus" for Mt. Zion Crossroads.
When l entered it at West street sta
ton it was filled with men and boys,
only two women in the car / found
small space in one seat and sat fac
ing the aisle. Just then an elderly
lady came in, and as she seemed al
ready tired, and as no man offered
her a seat, urged her to take mine,
which she reluctantly did. At Camp
Parole the crowd, black and white,
poured in. / worked my way out OF
the bus, and going to the office, asked
the driver to request the manager to
send us a car, as there was no longer
standing room. The message was
phoned in and the only reply was,
''The other car is broken" The driver
did his best, and asked if l thought
after he took his seat l could stand
inside the door? This | managed to
do, and sat upon two suit cases
standing on end, as all other space
was filled. Coming to stop, the door
was opened and one suit case rolled
out into the road. | got out, picked
up the truant case, and getting back,
decided to stand, which was only pos
sible by pressing my hand against the
frame work of the door. Had the
door suddenly opened / should inevi-
tably have met with the fate of the
suit case. When we reached the turn
+. to Owensville / had to get out again
to let off passenger, and being UNI
able to stand longer handed in my
ticket and walked home through deep
sand and clouds of dust from the con-
slant stream of traffic. Although
walking in the ditch to avoid automo-
biles, one brushed my skirt in pass
irg, though they had the whole of the
State road. Had / been injured in
either case, / should have felt obliged
to sue the Bus Company for all the
damages | could recover, and it does
seem to me to be a short-sighted pol
icy for the manager to wilfully wait
until serious accident occurs before
properly protecting the lives and rea-
sunable comfort of the patrons. There
were just about thirty persons on the
bus, with lot of baggage. In this
day of doing ones bit" it would be
well to look to ones "bit" at home as
well as abroad

Hearing on the injunction, State of Arizona against Sidney P. Osborn, sec retary of state, restraining him from causing the women's minimum wage law to be placed on the ballot for the next general election, was postponed until July ', when called before Judge Stanford in Phoenix. Neither side was ready. so. they said, the suit having been filed only few days ago, when temporary injunction was issued against Osborn. Whether Wiley E. Jones, attorney general, should repre- sent Osborn or not was a question. Jones said it placed him in a peculiar position. It was suggested that the attorneys for the people wishing tho minimum wage placed on the ballot for vote by the electors come forth to rep resent Osborn. The whole matter was left in abeyance until July ', the day set for the hearing.

VAR SUMMARY

Brazil is no longer a neutral in the world war and Germany has another enemy arrayed against it.
 Although no announcement has been made as to whether the South American republic will actually enter into hositlities by it's revocation of neutrality it definitely aligns itself morally on the side of the United States and the entente.
 The Canadians have taken another hack at the German lines protecting Lens and have been rewarded with a further encroachment upon their ob- jective.
 Striking on a two mile front south of Lens. they stormed and captured German first line positions before Av- ion and also the village of Leauvette. They defeated in their onslaughts men of the crack Prussian guard, and the fifth Grenadier Guards, whose ma chine gun and rifle fire though the fact that the attacking force had to cut through wire entanglements. could not stay them.
 When the battle ended and the Ca nadians began their work of consoli- dating newly won positions their line had been extended to within one mile of the center of Lens, the fall of which under such tenacious assaults as have been made recently seemingly cannot be long delayed.
 On the front in France and Belgium there have been only bombardments. At St George the Germans entered French trenches but were later ejected from them suffering heavy casualties.
 In the Russian theatre the fighting has been spirited in Galicia.
 On the Austro-Italian zone infantry activity has again ceased for the mo- ment and artillery duels are taking it's place.

GALES TAXES OATH OF OFFICE
 AS GOVERNOR

General P. Elias Gales, who took his oath of office as governor of Sonora last night, already has designated the majority of the states appointive of ficers. Most of his appointees either are in Hermosillo or enroute there.
 Ygnacio Corrello, until recently quartermaster for the Fourth Sonora infantry division, has been named state treasurer and left here early this week for the state capital. Manuel Acuna, formerly cashier of the GUS toms house at Naco, has been named state treasurer by General Gales. He also has gone to Hermosillo.
 General Gales is the one hope of the American mining companies of the state for strengthening out the diff culties that have beset them recently. Among his friends it is generally un- derstood Gales will devote the greater part of his time immediately ater talk ing office to strengthening out the muddle his predecessor has allowed to come about.
 The handwriting on the wall in this particular is foreshadowed by editorial comment in the last issue of 'Malkri- ado," a Nacozari publication, which seems to be considered as an official Gales organ in northern Sonora. This paper lays the blame upon ill-consid- cred action on the part of the state labor congress and has begun a cam paign for the new governor to set the matter straight by intervening.
 It is rumored that General Gales will ask the state legislature to elim- mate the labor congress. formed by decree of Acting Governor de la Huerta, and to take unto itself the functions previously enjoyed by the labor congress. In this way legisla- tion undoing what the labor congress has done can be passed.
