MINIMUM WAGE
FOR WOMEN IS
NOW EFFECTIVE

PHOENIX, July 19.-Arizona's
minimum wage law prescribing not
less than ten dollars a week for wom-
en- and girls employed in stores, laun-
dries and commercial establishments,
became effective today, when a per-
manent Injunction restraining the Sec
retary of state from placing the meas
ure on the referendum ballot was
granted by Judge Stanford of the su-
perior court of Maricopa county.
The Merchants and Manufacturers
association of Phoenix, which, with
the Business Mems Protective asso-
citation of Tucson, brought out ref
erendum against the bill, admitted
that the signatures to many of the
petitions had been obtained by fraud
and withdrew all objections to max
ing the injunction permanent.
Warrants for the arrest of score
of persons who circulated the petit
tions and deliberately forged names
to the referendum petitions are being
prepared. The Merchants and Manu-
facturers' association has announced,
though it's attorneys, that it will do
everything in it's power to prosecute
and convict those who secured sigma
lures illegally.
The motion to make the injunction
which they had been fighting perma-
nent was made by attorneys for the
M. and M, thus ending the case. They
filed a statement with the court to
the effect that the referendum petit
ton against the law had been under
taken in good faith, for the reason
that the merchants and manufacturers
believed the new law inequ1table and
difficult of application. "The evi-
dence introduced, however" the state
ment set forth, satisfies us that some
of the persons who were employed to
circulate these petitions deliberately
violated the law in their anxiety to
obtain signatures" The statement
closes by saying that while technical
ly the referendum might still prevail,
the association did not desire to bene-
fit by petitions which were fraudu-
lently signed.

CUPID WINS AGAIN
LOCAL COUPLE WE'D
IN PHOENIX

Cupid, the God of Love, ever on the
alert, had another conquest credited
to himself last week. His headquar-
ters for the past few months has
been in the local postoffice He
would arrive early in the morning and
stay late in the day, and while his
presence was unknown, his efforts
were becoming noticeable as time
went on. The object of his endeav-
ors was Miss Phoebe Bergstrom. All
day long the little rascal of a Cupid
would sit perched above the general
delivery window and while the throngs
of people received their mail, he
would appear disinterested except
when one young man appeared. When
this young man asked for the mail
for Mr.. Bruce Delhi Cupid would
rouse himself in hurry and would
be the busiest little fellow in town.
The hearts of Miss Bergstrom and Mr.
Delhi could not withstand the attacks
of Cupid for long, and when the an
nouncement was made that the former
was leaving the postoffice, never to
return, the wary Cupid knew his Ia
bors were ended.
The wedding of Miss Bergstrom
and Mr.. Delhi occurred last Thursday
at the Christian church in Phoenix,
Rev. Buchanan officiating. Only Miss
Ada Glover and Mr.. Chas Bergstrom,
a brother of the bride, were in at
tendance. Mr.. Delhi has been en-
ployed at the Ray Consolidated COM
pany for the past two years, but re-
Gently severed his connections with
that company to accept a position as
construction engineer for the Hercu-
les company at Belgravia. Miss Berg
strom is well known to all here, hav-
ing been employed at the local post
office for the past two years.
The happy couple returned to Ray
Saturday and will reside temporarily
with Mr.. Chas. Bergstrom on Ameri-
can Townsite. The Copper Camp ex-
tends congratulations and joins the
host of friends in wishing Mr.. and
Mrs. Delhi most happy and pleasant
future.

"|JUST KEPT GOING DOWN HILL ALL THE T|ME" "-MRS. SIMS Gains Sixteen Pounds After Taking Tanlac and Now
 Feels Fine

Little by little as I took Tanlac l kept getting better and gaining in weight until now have taken four bottles, all my troubles are gone and I'm l6 pounds heavier than l was the day l took my first dose,' was the remarkable statement made recently by Mrs. Elizabeth Sims, residing at 634 South street, Birmingham.
 About year ago," continued Mrs. Sims T began feeling badly. My appe- tite failed and although I tried all kinds of medicines I kept getting wodse. Fin ally, my stomach got in terrible condi- tion and I would so for days at a time without eating bite. I lost weight all the time and got so weak l couldn't do the most trivial thing about the house without stopping to rest every few min- utes. l was so nervous 1t was impossible for me to get a good nights sleep and I had become Respondent and discouraged because nothing did me any good, and l just kept going down hill all the time.
 ''Tanlac certainly has built me up won derfully. When I began taking it weighed only S5 pounds now weigh l0l pounds, and it isn't only my increase in weight, but the remarkab ble improvement in my health and strength that makes me praise Tanlac. I now eat hearty of anything I want sleep the whole night through without waking up, and feel strong enough to do any kind of work about the house. I feel just fine and want to do what I can to let suffering people know what Tanlac will do."

GERMANS ARE HELD FOR EXAMINATION
 BY NEW YORK COURT

New York, March 7.--Dr. C. Hanador Chakiaberty Hindoo physician, and Dr.. Ernest Sckunner, 34, described as a Ger man, were arrested today on charges of conspiring to set up military expedition against a foreign country on friendly re- lations with the United States.

 Schwartz who says he is a chemist, 37 years old, was held as a suspicious person. He made a long statement to Chief of Police Hayes, in which he re- vealed the police allege, plans for another explosion at Black Tom, N. l., yesterday with Kolb and himself as the conspira- tors.
 Schwartz the police say, denied that he was connected in any way with the Black Tom explosion last summer, or the explosion at Kingsland. The failure of the plot to blow up Black Tom yes terday the police declare, Schwartz ad- mitted was due to faulty construction of the bombs.
 Kolb was identified at police head quarters as a former emp.oye of the Canadian Car and Foundry company at kingsand by Thomas Steele, a negro also former worker at that plant. Steele told the police he worked in the same room with Kolb where there had beer an explosion previous to the great fire and that of 2S men employed in the room kolb was the man who disappeared

Washington Thinks Way Is Left Open for Further Negotiations Following Receipt of Reply
DOCUMENT COUCHED
 IN FRIENDLY TERMS
This Government Is Not Inclined to Push the Is- sue to Open Rupture Right at This Time

Washington, March G. Austria's reply to Americas request for a clear defini- tion of her attitude in the submarine situation was stated officially here today to leave the door open for further negotiations, delay ing temporarily at least the break which has been re- garded as inevitable since the severance of relations between the United States and Germany.
 Although in substance the long communication upholds and defends the unrestricted warfare waged by Germany, it is couched in most friend ly terms and points out that "Aus-  trian submarines solely are operating in the Adriatic and the Mediterra- mean and, therefore, an encroachment on American interests hardly is to be feared" There will be reply to this note and unless an overt act precipi- tates the rupture both sides appar- ently earnestly desire to avoid, the United States probably will not be inclined to force the issue for the present.
 The truth is that Germany is credited With trying to force Austria to a step which that country does not wish to take Germany naturally w4snes, it is pointed out, to have the complete moral SUD- port of her allies in the submarine cam paign and is using her great influence with Austria to that end
 Austria, therefore, is placed in the deli cate position of either sacrificing the manifest benefits she receives from the continuance of diplomatic relations with this country or of appearing not fully to support her ally. As a result, 1t is be- lieved she has made her reply to this country as strong an indorsement of Ger many's position as possible without at the same time making 1t impossible for the United States to continue the negotiations

The Austrian memorandum, refer ring to the note on the Ancona case, says, ''that it strictly adheres to the assurance already given"
 At the same time Austria calls at tention to the fact that at the time of the Ancona incident, it stated that ''it reserved the right to bring up later for discussion difficult international Gues- tions which arise in connection with submarine warfare.
 TEXT OF NOTE
 The text of the Austrian reply s ouoted as follows in later Vienna dispatch to Reuters:
 From the memorandum of F'ebru- ary IS of the American ambassador the Austro- Hungarian foreign minis ter has concluded that the Washington cabinet in view of statements made on February 10 of last year and on January S1, 1917, by the Austro Hun garian government is now in doubt regarding the attitude which Austria Hungary will henceforth observe re- garding the submarine war and as 10 whether the assurances given by the Austro- Hungarian government to tho Washington cabinet in the course of associations about the Ancona and Persia papers have not been nullified by the aforementioned statement. The Austro- Hungarian government is ready to make a clear and definite statement, 60 that these doubts may be solved.
 ALLIES METHODS ATTACKED
 "The Austro- garian government may be allowed, first of all, to dis cuss briefly the methods employed by the entente powers in waging sub marine war, because they are the starting point for the intensified sub marine war begun by Austria Hun gary and her allies and also throw a bright light upon the attitude which the Austro- Hungarian government has taken hitherto in regard to the ques- tions which have arisen. When Great Britain joined the war against the central powers only a few years had elapsed since that memorable time when she, in union with other states, began to lay the foundation at The Hague for modern naval war law. Soon afterward the British government had assembled in Holland representatives

OTHER ITEMS NEEDED

Although the war department will bear the brunt of the financial embarrassment resulting from failure of the general de- ffciency bill, nearly every other depart ment will suffer to lesser extent.
 The postoffice department will have to cancel it's plans for extra carriers and clerks declared by officials to be neces- sary for efficient mail transportation The interior department cannot move into its new building because it has no money to purchase equipment. The commerce de- pdrtment cannot put out the new coast charts planned by the coast and Geodetic survey for naval and merchant vessels. The treasury department will have to make an emergency arrangement if It's bureau of engraving and printing is to be kept supplied with the paper and other materials used in printing paper money and postage stamps
