SUPREME COURT HANDS
DOWN SEVERAL DECISIONS

The fall term of the supreme court
was officially ushered in today when
several rulings were handed down by
members. Work on these rulings have
been under way for several weeks,
however.
John A. owen was denied the right
to appeal from the decision of the Ora
ham county superior court Owen was
convicted on a charge of introducing
intoxicating liquors into the state. At
ter appealing his ease, Owen escaped.
In its decision in dismissing the ap-
peal, the supreme court rules that a
defendant who is fugitive from JUS
tice valves his right of appeal.
The verdict in the Maricopa county
superior court in the case of M. C.
Thompson. charged with introducing
intoxicating liquors into the state. was
affirmed by the high court. The de-
cision was written by Chief Justice
Franklin with Justices ID. L. Cunning
ham and H. d. Ross concurring.

ACID INJURIOUS
To ALL BATTERIES
SAYS LOCAL EXPERT

Among motor car owners, the idea
that the storage battery can be
brought back to a fully charged con-
dition by filling it with acid has made
considerable Roadway, in spite of the
emphatic statement OF battery men
that this is the worst possible thing
that can be done for the battery.
The only thing that the car owner
should ever put into his battery says
Mr. Rogers, the local Willard repre-
sentative, lis pure water" The rea-
son for this is easy to understand.
The electrolite in the battery is an
acid solution. As the battery dis
charges, the acid is absorbed by the
plates. When the battery is complete
ly discharged. the liquid inside is
pure water Charging the
battery reverses 7his process; that
is, ii forces the acid out of the plates
and into the liquid again, so that
when the battery is fully charged the
electrolite is acid of normal strength.
If the car owner puts acid into the
battery he makes the solution alto
gether too strong. the chemical action
between the electrOlite and the plates
become too violent, and finally
causes the oxide and even the frame
work of the plates themselves to cor
rode.
Acid should never be put into the
battery except by an expert.

Unitarians Vote
Approval of Wor
by United States
(By Review Leased WireD

MONTREAL. Sept 26.-The gener-
al conference of Unitarian and other
Christian churches at its 9th annual
session here today repudiated by an
overwhelming vote 'pacificist" res
olution concerning the entrance of
the United States into the war and fol-
lowed the leadership of former Presi-
dent Taft in adopting a resolution ap-
proving President Wilson's action
and declaring the war must be car
ried to a successful issue"
Mr.. Taft addressed the conference
tonight
America and her allies cannot con-
cede peace until they conquer it," he
said Peace now. even on the basis
of the restoration of the status quo.
would be failure to achieve the
great purpose for which the allies
have made heartrending sacrifices.
He who proposes peace now either
does not see the stake for which the
allies are fighting, or wishes the Ger
man military autocracy to control
the destinies of all of u.s."
Mr.. Taft described the organization
and purpose of the League to Enforce
Peace in the United States and of the
League of Nations Society of Eng
land and added:
And whatever the detailed stipu-
lation of such a league, however, its
operation and success must depend
upon the obligations of treaty stipu-
lations. Unless their binding effect
is recognized by the nations as a
sacred principle. the stipulations Of
the league will be writ on the water
The revelations an disclosures of this
war satisfy the members of the league
that as long as the military caste con-
trolls the German internal and foreign
policy the league is improbable and
would not be worth the parchment on
which its obligations would be re-
corded"
