HI sre'S a Patriot Wh0nn Arizona Is
 Proud To Claim

Jarvis Bennett, clerk of the su perior court of P.7a: county, is patriot and has proved it to the satisfaction of the district exemp- tion board. He has established a record in Arizona. Chairman Alexander of the board yesterday received letter from him asking inc favor of being allowed to go with the first detachment of tne drafted men from that county. Mr. Bennett has already resigned his cIerkship.
 After the board had been sickened by ridiculous applications Of men to evade military service on the most frivolous pretexts, the letter of MT. Bennett was most refreshing. If he had been afraid to go to war he need not go. MT. Bennett is an elective officer and therefore would be exempt. Moreover, he is a mar also would give him exemption, probably. But he roes not want to maIinger at home.
 He is the first elective officer who has offered himself, Waiving his position, while scores of ap- pointive officers are urging their positions as reasons why they should not fight for their country.
 Before his election to the clerk ship of the court of Pinal county, MT. Bennett was station agent for the Arizona Eastern, and was so good a man that the company re- gretted that he had gone into politics.

FOSTER MOTHER WINS
 IN FIGHT FUR CHILD

By the decision of Judge Shenk Of Los Angeles in the three cornered fight for the custody of little Eddie Gilman, aged ,, tetween his two ai- legged fathers and his foster mother. the last named won and the way was cleared whereby she may petition for the boys adoption
 The happy foster mother was Mrs Lila Currier who has had Eddie in her charge since the death of his mother, who was known as Cordelia Robertson, January 30, 1915 The mother. who was an Arizonian. left the child in care of Mrs. Currier, it was alleged.
 Judge Shenk held that the testi- mony, which showed that the mother led a "Jekyll and Hyde" existence, liv- ing first with William Edward Enos and then with Edward Gilman, indi- cated that the latter was her legal husband.
 The decision was purely on tech nical grounds, as the time passed with Enos was not of a years dura- tion, or insufficient to constitute common-law marriage under the laws of Arizona, the court ruled.
 Her subsequent marriage in Cali fornia to Gilman was, therefore, le- gal he held. Under this ruling Gill ham was the legal father of the child, but as he failed to provide for him after the death of the boys mother the court stated that he was justified in declaring little Eddie an abandoned child
 Gilman, who lives in Chicago. and Enos, who is a merchant of Bouse Ariz., both came to Los Angeles to fight for the custody of the boy.

RE WOULD HAVE
 HIMSELF AND WIFE DEP0RTED
Recent Arrival In Phoenix, to Save Wife From Insane
 Asylum Proposes a Novel Plan to Gov. Campbell

Rather than have his wife returned 10 some institution in California as an insane person, c. S. Lindenmeyer a recent arrival from Los Angeles, would welcome deportation of himself and wife to Switzerland and England re- spectively, their native lands. This is set forth ,in a letter addressed by Ein- denmyer to Governor Thomas E. Campbell yesterday.
 The Lindenmeyers came to Phoenix several days ago, and two or three days ago Mrs. Lindenmeyer became violently insane. It then developed that she had been in the insane ward of the Los Angeles county hospital last spirng. It was proposed to send her to the Arizona State Hospital for the Insane
 Learning that the Lindenmeyers were newcomers to Arizona, the com mission on state institutions held that the Arizona hospital was not the place for the woman, who really was ward of the California authorities. A tele- gram was addressed to the authorities in charge of the Los Angeles county hospital asking them if they were pre- pared to defray the expense of sending the woman back in charge of her hus- band, or of sending an attendant here ioi Icl 4NO Itply Hdu Deen received to this telegram yesterday.
 Lindenmeyer objected to this plan and offered a counter plan, that of deportation of himself and wife His view of the matter in this respect is set forth in the letter to the governor. which follows in full:
 To the Governor of the State of Ari-
 Zona, Phoenix:
 Sir-Referring to the interview which you kindly granted me yester- day, and upon further consideration, l cannot concede to my wife being sent back to California and being incar- cerated in place where she may have no chance of ever being visited by her relatives. Criminals may be treated like this, but my wife has committed no crime; therefore I claim deporta- tion for my wife and myself on the following grounds:
 First-1n recognition for my peace agitation before the great war, and especially before the war between this country and Germany. of which Pres- ident Wilson has had ample proof
 Second-In default of recognition I claim deportation on account of my peace propagation since the war, which IS now considered a crime and of which the White House has also been aware.
 Ihird-I claim deportation on ac- count of my inability to support both my wife and myself any longer
 request that this claim be forward ed to the immigration department at Washington, D. C., and submitted to the president for kind consideration. In the event of my claim being re- jected the United States may have the spectacle of my dragging about an in sane, half f-dressed woman, picking up food as we go along, accepting gifts but not begging.
 Should my wife get worse, as she has done for the last two days, I may also consider to end the sufferings of the poor creature myself Respect fully,
 (Signed) C. T. UNDERWATER.

ADJUSTMENTS
Cactus Nell" at Columbia

The Keystone never produced a better picture than Cactus Nell" at the Columbia for the last time today. It is a thrilling western comedy of stunts on and off horseback. Polly Moran has William $. Hart backed clear off the map when it comes to handling the two guns, bulldogging steers and riding wild horses. She walks right into a dance hall when everything is in turmoil and suc- ceeds in breaking up the worst riot ever seen at Crooked Bend, and when she mounts her trusty steed and starts out after the bandit who has robbed her of the Indian pension money, one must confess that it is the greatest bit of comedy, wild west riding seen in many a day. The other picture is Frank Keenan and Margery Wilson in "Sins We De-" a drama of New York life. Tomorrow Dorothy Phillips in "The Rescue"

PATRIOTIC MEETING HELD IN
 TOWN HALL THURSDAY NIGHT
Many Speakers Were Heard Upon the
 Wants of the First Regiment.

At the patriotic rally he'd in the town hall Thursday evening the young men of the town of Windham of mili- tary age were conspicuous by their absence There were but a few in the hall that will be affected by the draft, most of the audience being children, men above the age and those already members of military organizations.
 Preceding the meeting there was a street parade which was scheduled for 8 o'clock, but it was S.30 before the First Regiment band arrived by motor truck from Hartford. Owing to the roads and small horse power. of the motor the band was about three hours on the road. v.,-s s-
 The meeting was called together by Mayor Daniel P. Dunn, who spoke of the needs of the army and the hope that the meeting: would encourage the young men to enlist. The mayor made reference to the forefathers of the men of Windham and their records in the past. George F.. Taylor was the next speaker, and he, was followed by Selectman E. P. Chesbro. who stated the names of those who would have to go when the draft was resorted to.
 Major George J. Rau of the First regiment and Captain H. F. F. Teising of Company l. were the next to tell of the needs of the national guard Ser geant Jamieson of headquarters was present as the speaker of the evening and the audience was very much i'm pressed by his short address Among those in this city present at the meet ing were Battalion Adjutant C.

 at North Wfndham Burned.

 At North Windhan Tn ufsday after noon. the house and barn belonging to Arthur Hubbard of that place was to- tally destroyed by fire. The lossis es- timated to be over $1.20o. The house hold furniture was saved byssth sqpick work of several neighbours .5sssfsssss
 Mrs D. E. Lyon. a peighbOr~ Of Afr. Hubbard, saw smoke coming at the west end of the barn about 2 o'clock, and notified her husband. By this time the flames could be seen com ing out of the barn and a call was sent in for some of the local depart ment to come out and help fight the fire. MT. Hubbard, who was working on the road with his horses at the time arrived quickly and with the aid of several of the neighbors the furni- ture of the house with the exception of the kitchen furniture was taken out. As none of the local department re- sponded to the call sent them the flames spread rapidly and in about ten minutes the fire was working to- ward the house at a fast rate. In covered the house and barn, which were connected by sheds, were in ruins.
 In the opinion of D. E. Lyon. one of the first to see the blaze, the fire started inside the barn but nothing definite could be learned as to it's ori- gin. MT. Hubbard took his horses out of the barn just an hour before the blaze was discovered. Had the fire would have been burned to death.

TWO STORES ENTERED.
But Burglars Got Very Little Either at Brsdway's or New Idea Store.

Two burgIaries were reported to the police Thursday morning. one of thest at the store of Charles W. Bradway, School street, the other at the New Idea Shoe store, in the Peloquin block, Elm street. In neither case did the burglars get any great haul.
 Mrs. Lucia Delano, daughter of Mr Bradway, said Thursday afternoon that entrance was gained to the Brad way store by breaking out window on the north side. Members of the family, living over the store, heard the burglars at work and Mrs. Delano said the men remained in the store approximately 40 minutes and that in prowling about they made consider able noise.
 The burglars were finally scared away by pressing a button upstairs that operates an electrically operated gong downstairs. Mrs. Delano said that when the burglars made their es- cape they went out through the win dow which they entered and that her mother saw one of them run down into the street and across high school field.
 About s in Canadian money was taken from the money drawer at the Sradway store. as was also a pocket book. which, however, contained no money The desk in the store also had been investigated, but the safe was not tempered with.
 From a stock such as the store car ries 1t would be possible to take few articles that would not be miss ed, but it is believed that the burglars got little for their trouble.
 To get into the New Idea Shoe store the transom over the first entrance was forced. Max Cohen, manager ot the store, reported a loss of only two pairs of shoes, though other articles may have been taken.
 At the door to the store is locked both with a spring lock and a key lock the burglars had to go out over they brought the store step ladder to the door, climbed up and went out, leaving the ladder where it had been of service to them.
 In addition to the shoes, 50 cents in
