VICTIM IF SHOT
 RELATES STORY

Suffering intensely, yet willing to throw what light she could on the tragedy on the preceding day when she was twice shot by Juan Sierras. who ended his own life with the gun by which he attempted to kill her, Mrs. AntOnia Bustamenti made statement to Coroner Wheeler yesterday which was read at the inquest. The jury re- turned verdict that Sierras had come to his death by self-inflicted gun shot wound.
 Barely able to speak from the pain she was enduring, Mrs. Bustamenti made her statement before the coroner and his witnesses at her room at the Sisters hospital. Her story did not vary in any detail from the account of the shooting which appeared in Mon days issue of The Arizona Republican. She stated that the infatuated Sierras made overtures to her which she would not consider She said she was not in love with the boy who was nearly ten years her junior and that when he came to her house on Sunday she told him so. When sine noted his anger she had risen to go to her mothers home across the way and when she attempt ed to escape, the man, blinded by pas sion, had fired

CLUB PLAY SALE
 OF FSEATSOPENS

Reserved seats for "A Pair of Queens" will be placed on sale at the box office of the Elks theater at noon today
 This play, to be presented by the Country club on Thursday and Friday nights, is one of the most successful farces that have been produced in many seasons. It is built purely for fun purposes and has so far succeeded in it's aim, that, except for a special en- Sagement at the MorOscO theater in Los Angeles, it has not yet been seen west of the Mississippi river-business has been too good in the cast
 The farce is in three acts and deals With the desperate attempt of d pair of club men to get rid of an overcoat and pair of trousers that might con- vict them of complicity in a shooting scrape in one of the notorious New York cafes. They have been snooping into the joys of night life in the white light district while wifey has been away visiting friends and the incrim- mating evidence gets them into more scrapes than they are able to lie out of. It is full of swift action, funny situations and clever lines and will be presented by cast that promises to get world of fun out of it. Rehearsals have been progressing under the direc- tion of Maitland Davies who was brought over from Los Angeles espe- cially to put it on. He expresses him. self as well pleased with the work of the cast and believes the performance will he up to the high standard set in previous Country club productions.
 Those who have already purchased tickets may exchange them for re- served seats at any time after noon to- day. There will be only two perform ances.

CENSUS OF ALL WAR MATERIAL
 WILL bE MADE

A military census of Arizona will be begun at once. Every county tax as sessor of the state has received word from Governor Campbell to immedi- ately proceed to enroll all able bodied male citizens between ages of Is and A years.
 According to the military law, the county assessor must compile the list of men eligible for duty. Assessor T. J. Bone stated yesterday that it would be a great saving to the county if every man in the age limit would reg ister at his office in the court house.
 Following is the communication re- ceived from the governor by the county official:
 To the County Assessor Maricopa
 County, Phoenix, Arizona.
 My Dear Sir-Underthe provisions of Title 33 Paragraph 3S99, Revised Statutes of Arizona. 1913, Civil Code, you will immediately proceed to en- roll all able bodied male citizens be- tween the ages of IS and 45 years, com pleting such enrolment as soon as pos sible and filing one copy of the same with the adjutant general and one with the clerk of the superior court of your county.
 Your attention is invited to para : graphs 3S90, 3S91 and 1892 of the same title and code containing instructions asto your methods of procedure, and fully prescribing your duties. Authority to furnish you with re- quisite help to appellate this enroll ment lies in the power of your board of supervisors. Please furnish the infor- nation required herein at the earliest possible date, as the occasion for the same is urgent.
 Respectfully, THOMAS F. CAMPBELL, Governor of Arizona

 with peace: knowing our hearts to be filled with an intense desire to con tinue our pleasant relations with all the nations of the earth; knowing us to be a patient and long-suffering people: knowing that millions of the sturdy citizenship of the old World have sought refuge upon our shores for more than a century past, to par ticipate in the beneficent affairs of our national life, and enjoy the peaceful and prosperous pursuits of free peo- pie. the governing forces of the Teuton empire have only the more willingly eXerted the mailed hand of their mili- tary autocracy to make our people and the neutral nations of the world the innocent victims of a most barbarous use of the instruments within their power
 Therefore. We unanimously ap- prove and endorse the action of our president in severing diplomatic rela- tionS with the German government: and also earnestly and sincerely en- dorse his declaration that war has been thrust upon our people by military autocracy; and we likewise endorse the prompt approval of that declaration by our American congress-, through that Qeclafa1lOn we nave neafu the voice of patriotism: the voice of civili- zation; the voice of humanity speaking in protest against militarism, against autocracy, against barbarism and the crime of piracy again revived; voice proclaiming the true ideals of the fathers. and speaking for the democ- racy of the world
 Abhoring as our people do this course of war which has been thrust upon us; abhoring as we do that un- welcome, cruel path trodden by the heavy foot of military autocracy, we have longed and longed for peace for months and months we have earn estly, increasingly and hopefully , worked for peace; at morn, at noon and eve, our people have devoutly ! prayed for peace; in the still watches of the night we have dreamed of that peace which will not come; and in this

alty of instant destruction. regardless of it's lawful errand, or the innocent human freight it bore. At every op- portunity during the hours now pass ing that accursed decree is being en- forced with the most deadly execution. As was said with the fire of eloquence l42 years ago at Williamsburg, so we say now: We have petitioned; we have remonstrated; we have suppli- 'cated; we have prostrated ourselves before the throne and have implored its interpretation. Our petitions have been sighted: our remonstrances have produced additional violence and in- suit; our applications have been dis regarded, and we have been spurned with contempt from the foot of the throne,"
 6. We recognize it as no new dec laration to assert that the commerce of neutral nations must be free upon the seas, a doctrine which our govern ment has repeatedly proclaimed with earnestness to the unwilling ears of the German empire during the past two years; and we assert that the world must have more than that-We must have freedom for justice between na- tiOns, as every nation should have be- tween her citizens; freedom for liberty
 
 freedom for government of, by and for the people to fulfill it's immortal mis- sion.
 [. We also assert that, in the strug gle of other nations to preserve the ideals of governmental democracy throughout the world now going on, that this is our world, to which we owe a solemn obligation, just as much as it is the world of Great Britain of France, of Russia, of Italy. and of Bel gium: and we recognize that the pres ervation of these ideals and the future peace and safety of the nations of the earth depends upon the overthrow of military autocracy in the Old World and the proper disciplining of that au- tocratic mind, so that it will pursue the path of nationalism along other lines than military hideOusness.

WASHINGTON, April s.-Fourteen Austrian merchant vessels in American ports were taken over today by the government coincident with the an nouncement that Austria had broken diplomatic relations.
 The status of the removed crews will be determined by immigration au- thorities.
 Secretary McAdoo made it clear that the government had not confiscated the vessels, but had acted for the pur- pose of protecting them from further injury" From this statement it was inferred that the ships were damaged by their crews.
 The vessels were all at Atlantic or gulf ports.
 The tonnage of the fourteen vessels totals approximately 67,o00. The largest of the fleet is the Martha Washington, at New York, of S,312 tons, and has passenger accommodations for HOO persons.
