THIRTEEN MURDERS IN EIGHT MONTHS
 MAR|COPA RECORD

With the death of Mrs. S. Alvarez early yesterday morning by bullet fired by Mrs. Dolores Ochoa, the num- Der of murders in Maricopa county since January l, mounted to thirteen
 Not one man or woman against whom a murder charge has been placed has escaped arrest since w. H. Wilkey assumed the duties of sher- if In accounting for the unusual number of murders, yesterday Wilky stated that he believed the abolition of capital punishment was largely responsible. The increase of crime in this county l believe is due to the abolition of the death penalty" he declared
 While I admit there are other ways in which reckless taking of life in the last few months can be ac- counted for. l am confident that the chief blame lies with the people who voted to do away with the right punishment for such crime.
 "I certainly do not want to gain the reputation of the murder sheriff, but the. jail is housing number of such criminals. There seems to be no end to crime There is scs$cely a week but that adds to the list ot murders While I regret these trag- edies that are being committed, am proud of the fact that my deputies have arrested every murderer and alleged murderer in the county since the first of the year. 1 am sure that this activity on the part of the authorities will have its effect.

THIS WH|SKEY
 JUST WILL LEAK

SN"-iff w. H. Wilky and Deputy Sheriff E. J. Warren did red cap ser vice yesterday. When they failed to note a county car at the depot they each took a hand and carried trunk from the Santa Fe station to the store room of the court house where they deposited the baggage.
 It was the usual leak that told the story of liquor being transported into the state. The liquor proved to be eleven-year- Brookhill, which isn't bootlegging whiskey," according to the officers.
 It is impossible to estimate the amount of confiscated liquor, but there are now several hundred gallons in the court house. Shortly before Judge Stanford left for his vacation the sher- iff's office asked him if it would not be possible to sell the liquor and de- vote the proceeds to the Red Cross, bu Judge Stanford stated that the law read that the "liquor must be de- stroyed."

 The governor granted these acts of clenency in order to encourage work in the prison road camps. These men were highly recommended on two. oc- casions by the division engineers under whose authority they had been work ing, and by State Engineer Thoma; Maddock It is the intention of the present administration to recognize loyalty, industry and good behavior in connection with stat road work by prisoners by the granting of paroles and communication of sentences in de- serving cases.

FIRST QUOTA HAS
 FIVE DAYS ID G0

Orders do not stand long unchanged Tn regard to the operation of the selec- tive service law. It was only a few days ago that the first order that thirty per cent of the first quota of men would be called to mobilization camps on September was changed to five per cent
 Now comes still another order that this may be strung out over five days, one per cent each day, beginning on September ,. This change probably was made so that it would not affect the transportation facilities of the country Six men. therefore, will go from Maricopa county on each of the five days, beginning on the fifth
