FORMER EMPLOYE
OF GOVERNMENT IS

SAN FRANCISCO, March 81

ment of two sums of less than 500,

by political enemies. He was released

Of NAVAL
HEROES HELD Up TO
ANNAPOLIS MODES

ANNAPOLIS, Nd, March 20
Secretary of the Navy Daniels today
held up to nearly 200 midshipmen who
received their diplomas from him the
records of the heroes of the navy, par
ticularly the late Admiral Dewey, and
urged them to go into the service with
the bright record of these former
American sea fighters as shining
marks toward which to strive.
The graduates were told by the sec
rotary that the nation expected them
to be ready "for the day that may
come-how soon, who can tell? Then
upon your GOODNESS and knowledge
and leadership and ability to shoot
straight may depend the fate of a de-
cisive engagement"
Called to the colors three months
ahead of time because of the interna-
tional situation, the 1873 members of
the class which would not under ordi-
nary conditions have graduated until
June will take up their duties as en-
signs at once.

VALUES IMPROVING
IN SHAFT ON THE
RECORD LODE GROUP
CFrOm Fridays Daily Miner)

Persons interested in the Oatman
district are keenly watching the de-
velopment of the Record Lode Min
ing company property. The vafues
continue to increase in the main shaft,
which is in commercial ore at the pre-
sent time, and it would not be sur
prising for the Record to break into
sensational ore values at any time.
The Hardy in the old days shipped
two carloads, which averaged twenty
ounces gold and 1876 ounces silver.
This ore was extracted above the 200
level. The fact that the Record is
on the same proven. vein and has had
an increase in values with practically
every round of shots speaks for itself.
1t would be a surprise if some very
handsome values should not be en-
countered inside of $50 feet. The old
talk in the camp that it is necessary
to go down 500 feet in order to get
values is being very much disapproved
and in fact that has been but talk, as
the proven mines have stopped up to
the grassroots.
The Record Lode is sinking right on
the vein, and in vein matter all the
way. The ledge is fully 80 feet wide,
and the surface values can be found
along an outcrop of 1000 feet. This
vein stands out prominently, with a
great outcrop, and a study of the
edge system will show the same ear
marks as the United Eastern.
The Record Lode Mining company
OWLS a fine spring of water, which
makes better than go barrels of water
per day, a great asset to the camp
Dr.. Charles A. L. Gehrmann is presi-
lent and manager of the company.

BRITISH TAKE
ANOTHER TOWN
FROM TEUTONS

LONDON, March 29.-The British
forces in France have captured the vii
lage of Melville BOurjonval, east of
Ypres, according to this evenings
communication. Heavy casualties were
inflicted on the Germans. The state
ment says:
''The village of Melville Bourjonval
was captured this morning after a
short fight in which the enemy lost
heavily. We took few prisoners.
"Our raiding parties entered the
enemy's lines during the night east
of Arras and in the neighborhood OF
Neuville-St. Vast and Neuve
Chapelle. Several dugouts were de-
stroyed and casualties were inflicted.
1.-TWO German airplanes were driven
down in a damaged condition during
air fighting yesterday, and two of our
machines are missing"

SAYS RAILROADS ARE
PAYING FOR PUBLIC
Be DAMNED" POLICY

PITTSBURGH, Pa, March 29.-W.
A. Atterbury of Philadelphia, presi-
dent of the American Railway Asso-
citation, predicted in an address be-
for the Traffic Club of Pittsburgh at
the annual banquet tonight that the
public, through its representatives,
will tie the labor unions hand and foot
in as radical a manner as the rail-
roads find themselves" Mr.. After
bury said in part:
''The sins of our railroad ancestry
have been visited upon their children's
children, and, notwithstanding that
those of US of the fourth generation
have been honestly endeavoring to
give the public good service, public
distrust, the result of the sins of our
forefathers, is the basis of irrational
regulation.
Commissioners and other public Of
ficials must be measurably responsive
to public sentiment. Popular opinion
has been largely shaped by events
which have aroused indignation or
misunderstanding.
"If the railroads suffer, the public
suffers. If railroads service is improv-
ed, the public will benefit. The pub
lie should understand the fact"
Speaking of the aggression of la
Dor unions, he continued:
'The railroad arrangements have
lived to rue the day Of the public be
damned policy of a generation ago.
Let the labor unions keep on with
their present policy of damning first
the public, then the president, then
congress and finally the supreme court /
and am satisfied the public, through
its representatives, will tie the labor /
unions hand and foot in as radical a
manner as the railroads find them
selves today"

UNIVERSAL MILITARY
TRAINING ENDORSED

NEW YORK, March .29.-Universal
compulsory military training, with the
national guard as a part of the federal
force, was recommended by the unani-
nous vote Of the delegates TO the ma
tional defense convention of the Ma
tional Guard association of the United
States at its closing session here to-
day.
Members of the universal service
committee of Veterans of the National
Guard and Naval Militia, meeting
later, went on record as favoring uni
versal military training and service
under exclusive federal control for all
male citizens of the United States of
suitable age"
Delegates who attended the defense
convention declared tonight that the
significance of the resolution passed
by the veterans lay in the fact that
they favor compulsory training under
exclusive federal control without mem
tioning the national guard as a part
OF the federal force.
The resolutions presented to the de-
tense convention were amended before
the vote was taken so as to provide
that the national guard be taken out
of the militia class and be made "a
veritable federal force" with such D1.o-
visions governing the location of units,
the appointment of officers and repre-
in the general staff as the
congress may prescribe.

SAYS TRACEY FIRED FIRST
SHOTS IN EVERETT RIOT

SEATTLE, Wash, March 29.-The
first shots in the Everett fight last
November were fired by Thomas H.
Tracey, according to the testimony to-
day of William H. Bridge, deputy
sheriff of SnowOmish county, and
Walter H. Smith, a citizen deputy, wit
nesses for the prosecution. Tracey,
who is accused Of having murdered
Jefferson Beard, deputy sheriff, was
one of a party of Industrial Workers
of the World members, which went to
Everett on a "free speech" trip. Beard
was one of the men killed in the clash
with deputy sheriffs at the Everett
city dock.

MURDER TRIAL
IN DENVER IS
NEARING END

DENVER, March 29.-Completion
of the opening arguments by both the
state and defense in the trial of Mrs.
Stella Newton Moore Smith, accused
of the murder of her husband, John
Lawrence Smith, and an agreement
of opposing counsel to use but one
hour more for each sides presentation
of its views, assured tonight that the
case would reach the jury tomrrow.
Opposition by the district attorney
prevented a session tonight.
Judge Booth NJ. Malene's argument
for the defense today was devoted
chiefly to an appeal to the jurors for
Mrs. Smiths vindication on the ground
that she had submitted to indignities
which, he said, "even the law does
not see fit to define in direct terms"
Smith, as he painted him, was a
man Of low type, a "slave to drink"
guilty of such acts that, counsel said,
he "verily believed him to have lost
his mind"
"The court instructed you," Judge
Malone said, "that a woman has the
same right to protect her honor, her
life, her child, as a man. This is the
law and it covers every question in
volved in this case"
He repeated in detail threats made
by Smith, according to the evidence,
and indignities forced upon Mrs.
Smith, according to her story. While
Mrs. Smith covered her face and sob
bed, he told of the threat Smith had
made against her daughter shortly
before he was killed, and cried:
"She ought to have killed him then!
She could have come before you then,
gentlemen, and not a man of you but
would have said: "Godspeed you,
Stella Smith! Such a fend is not fit
to live"
Exhibiting some of the torn cloth
ing Mrs. Smith had worn the night of
the tragedy, which she testified Smith
stripped from her by force, her at
torney said:
"There may have been some wit /
nesses before you whose veracity you
questioned, but these things don't lie"
at was her life or his" he continu-
ed; "Mildred's destruction or Smiths. |
The officers of the city and county of |
Denver had told her they could not |
furnish her protection. She did not |
want to kill Smith; she was not jeal-
Gus of him. She had had occasion and |
again and again to kill |
him if she had wanted to, if she had |
been jealous"
Counsel continued with the assertion |
that Mrs. Smith wanted an acquittal |
as a right, because she had "acted |
wholly within the law"

WASHINGTON, March 29.-Plans
to forward further preparedness mea-
sures for the army began to assume
definite form today. How an in
creased army force may be promptly
secured for the present emergency as
well as UNIVERSAL training as a national
policy were discussed by President
Wilson with Senator Chamberlain of
Oregon, chairman of the senate mill
tary committee. At the same time
Secretary Baker and administration in
congress considered legislation need
ed Immediately for the recruiting of
the army to its full war strength.
Senator Chamberlain told the presi-
dent he believed the executive now has
authority without further action by
congress to raise at once an army of
100000 men by increasing the regular
army to war strength and calling out
all of the national guards at war
strength.
There was no Intimation that the
president was considering such a step
Immediately, but the whole field of
measures necessary to secure a larger
force was discussed. For present
eeds the war department has decided,
Secretary Baker said, to submit to
congress a budget containing virtu-
lily the same provisions as the regular
army appropriation bill, which failed
1T the last session.
Estimates for the expense in con-
nection with an enlarged army or for
any emergency activities will be pre-
sented later. This decision comedies
with the house plan to re-enact the
appropriation bill without change and
send it at once to the senate. Senator
Chamberlain also agreed to expedite
the bill in the senate. To this end he
said he would not again offer his uni
versal training bill as a rider, if it
would delay prompt action on the sup
ply measure.
The conference of the president and
Senator Chamberlain, at the latter's
request, was primarily to discuss the |
senator's universal training plan. He
asked the president to indorse the gen
eral proposition OF compulsory train
ing in his forthcoming message to con-
gress. The president, it was said,
gave no indication of his probable
course. He was said to favor some
plan for providing military training,
but was non-committal regarding the
Chamberlain plan, to which he is I'M
derstood to have some objections.
After leaving the White House the
senator said he twas still hopeful" of |
administration Endorsement of his
measure, and also expressed increased
optimism over prospects of passage by

NEW SYSTEM r.
Of RUSSIAN
TAXES CERTAIN

PETROGRAD, March 90, via Lon
don, March 30.-The new financial
program, which will undertake to
remedy the deficiencies of the past
administration, and, by means of a sys-
TEN of revenues, enable the govern
ment to share in the increased indus
trial profits, was outlined to the As
ISOLATED Press today by NJ. Tereschten-
ko, minister of finance.
''The country is full of capital" said
the minister, (which has grown out of
increased industrial activity since the
beginning Of the war;. and my plan is
to institute Immediately a new sys-
tenn of taxes based on war profits.
Since 1915 all industrial enterprises of
the country have shown most remark
able increases in earnings and have is
sued millions of new shares. 1t is
only proper that the government
should have more adequate share in
these profits.
"This new revenue will enable the
country to meet at least the accumu-
lating interest on outstanding loans.
Russia will have to depend, of course,
upon foreign loans, and, judging by
the sympathy and support with which
the new government has been greeted
by its allies and in the United States,
there should be no difficulty in ar
ranging q basis for a continuance of
financial assistance abroad.
81 anticipate no trouble in the fac
tories or the possibility Of a decreased
output arising from the eight-hour
regulation.
"a new spirit Of loyalty and a de-
sire to cooperate with the government
is noticeable, and industrial energy
everywhere has received a new i'm
petus.
"The most important question fac
ing the country is provisioning and
transportation. We already have be-
gun to organize transportation and are
a cooperative system of
transferring commodities directly
from the country producer to the city
consumer. Tremendous stores of pro-
visions in the interior already have
been started toward the big cities"
Mohave County miner. [volume] (Mineral Park, A.T. [Ariz.]) 1882-1918, 1917-03-31

the senate of some form of a universal
training measure. As a result of his
talk with the president, Senator Cham
berlain expects to make several i'm
portant amendments to his bill, par
ticularly with the idea of increasing
the number of trained soldiers it
would produce in a short period. To
this end he proposes to raise the age
limit of youths subject to training
from 10 to 20 years, to secuAre more
mature men, and to begin the training
periods sooner than provided in the
tentative bill, Which proposes that
about 100000 youths be trained and
with six months service.
Another amendment, the senator
said, would be to create SO divisions
in the country for the segregation of
the training work, with facilities for
training an army division of from
$4,000 to $1,000 men in each divisional
camp. While some of the divisions,
Senator Chamberlain thought, would
have larger bodies under training than
others, he believed at least 100000
young men would be thus secured. The
Oregon senator impressed upon the
president that his plan would not en-
tail the enormous expense of the army
general staff training bill. He esti-
mated that without providing costly
permanent barracks at training camps
and by having the students live in
tents, the annual cost of training 500,-
900 men would be about S56,O00,000.
As to the measures necessary for in
creasing the army in an emergency,
Senator Chamberlain said that under
existing law the president is author
lied to increase the standing army to
its war strength of 100000, OF with
auxiliaries aggregating a regular
force of about 100000. The war
strength of the national guard was
estimated at about 100000, with all
forces fully enlisted Thus combined, /
the senator said, a trained army of
100000 men could be provided without
action by congress.
When the regular army apprOpria-
ton bill reaches the senate, Senator
said, he thought it would |
be increased with or without request |
from the war department, at least
sufficiently to provide material neces- |
sary for an army of 100000 men.
A change planned by the war depart
ment in the supply bill is to shorten
the time for accumulation of reserve !
materials for the army. The present !
bill provides for their purchase over
a period of from four to five years,
and the department is planning to ask
that funds for this purpose be made
available.

gales which swept the North Pacific.
The vessel cleared from Seattle Jan
uary 80, 1917, and has not been re-
ported since. The vessel and cargo
were valued at several million dollars.

Col. G. F. Beverage returned from
Kingman Thursday morning. While
in Kingman he placed an order for
machinery for the Diana's new shaft
which is to be sunk to at least 300
feet without delay. The Diana has
been prospected until now with a small
hoist through an old shaft 500 feet
north of the site of the new shaft,
and so encouraging is the showing
that the management has determined
to open it up thoroughly just as rap
idly as possible.
