It will be interesting to watch
two batteries of the most brilliant
and high-priced priests of the law
20 thru the spirited forms of their
legal mass.
When thapde Saulles trial
is over ii win probably have
been only q brilliant exhibit
ton by legal experts, having
no more to do with the indi-
vidual psychology Of Blanca
Errazuris-Vergara De Saulles
than would q billiard game.
81 It will have dealt only with
the facts, and all modern psy-
cholOgy tells us that the facts
are almost always a blind to
the real truth.
All laws are still-born; out
there is a peculiar horror In the
fact that laws governing murder,
made hundreds of years ago, oper-
crate today without taking into
account the progress of humanity
and the last 20 years discoveries
in psychology.
It is never to be expected that
lawyers and judges will give any
other Interpretation of Thou
shalt not kill" than the age-worn
primer-stuff which means thou
shalt not commit the mere physi-
cal act of murder.
But there are greater men who
have reached the fuller and truer
Interpretation.
Blanca De Saulles is the proto-
type of the woman in De Maupas-
SAINTS masterpiece, "The Soul OF
a Woman"
Married when but a child to a
man of the world, that woman's
faith and love-life are shattered
at one blow by the cheap infidelity
of her husband.
She turns in desperation to her
child. and it becomes her one hold
-on life. The end of this tragedy
differs from Blanca De Saulles'
only as the temperaments of the
two women differ: one shoots her
husband to escape from an un-
bearable situation; the other, not
being so uncompromisingly primi-
tive, lives on to become a victim
of a greater tragedy.
Jack De Saulles had killed
something in his wife more i'm
portant and precious to woman
than her maternal instinct: he
had killed her love-life.
He went scot free, unjudged,

NEW YORK, June 4-Evidence that two complete high powered wireless installations. assembled here from. various sources, were shipped piece meal to Mexico, supposedly for use of q German spy system in this coun- try, was unearthed today in connec- tion with the arrest of three men on charges of conspiring to send mail, containing military information sur reptiously from the United States to Germany through members of Norwe- glan ship crews. It was intimated by the United States commissioner before whom the alleged plotters were arraigned. that it was through their instrumentality that advance news of the impending arrival in England of the American destroyer fleet was sent to Germany before it even became generally known in this country that it had sailed
 Indications have been found that the secret mail system was operated both ways between the United States, Germany and Mexico. Several hun dred leters have been seized and are hoing translated in the expectation that they will open the way to full revelations of the alleged spy plot
 The prisoners are Harry A. Perissi and Irving Bonaparte, both said to be American born, employed by a Ger man electrical company here, and Axe E. Melchar. said to be a nat
 uralized citizen from Sweden. They are charged with conspiring to induce members of the crews of the steam ships Bergensfjord and kristian- afford. both chartered to carry reg ular United States mails, to take let ters and packages from this country destined for Germany. in violation of the law prohibiting competition with tn" United States mail,

N BIG RALLY ALL

In rousing meeting that filled the city hall plaza to overfloWing, Phoe- nix last night consecrated itself to the fulfillment today of the serious and history making duty of carrying out to the last letter the proclamation of Pres ident Wilson in seeing that every young man of military age is registered for the seleetive draft before the close of the registering booths at 9 o'clock to- night.
 Their realization that there is duty for all today whether old or young, man or woman, was evidenced in the en- thusiasm that swept through the meet ing as the speakers called upon the young men of the city and state to do their whole duty tomorrow and to prove that they were a race of men and not slackers. The meeting was presided over by Captain J. l.. B. Alexander who said in introduction
 To Open Roll or Honor
 Tn every city and town tonight throughout all this land, meetings simi- lar to this one are being held Their purpose is to explain to the people the reasons for the entrance of the United States into this war, it's objects and the duty that every citizen owes to the gov efnment. This war is not of our own seeking: it was thrust upon us The time for debate as to whether we are rlghtfully entered in it is past. It is the duty of every man and woman to stand behind the government and the president.
 The country expects every citizen to do his duty, no more, no less. Tomor- row the roll of honor will be opened in every town and hamlet in the land. Our

young men are called upon to register their names and to thus signify that in this time of need they are ready to aid their country. It is an opportunity that probably never will come to them again In after years they will point with pride to their name or this list. There will be new respect paid to every one on it. It signifies they that stood for the rights and liberties their forefathers stood for.
 Captain Alexander introduced Judge Richard F. Sloan as the first speaker
 Judge Sloan said in part:
 Must Uphold President
 Tt is an incident of free government that says that the efficiency of that government is impossible without the cooperation of all it's citizens for the accomplishment of it's purposes. Our government at this critical time has called upon the people of Arizona and other states to give voluntary aid on military registra tion day. Our govern ment recognizes not alone the fact that a registration is to be accomplished, but that it is of prime importance in what spirit it is carried out
 The president has appealed not only for aid of a material kind, but for the people to manifest that they are up- holding his hand as head of the gov ernment in the first steps of assem- bling the great army needed for your and for my defense. We can be of as sistance in many ways. We need to combat that impression that is being endeavored to be cast abroad that to be drafted is a disgrace. l am sorry

DENVER, June 4.-John R. Lawson, former labor leader convicted May 3, 1915, of murder in the first degree in connection with the death of John Nim- mo, a deputy sheriff, in the Colorado coal strike disorders. today is a free man, as a result of supreme court ac- tion in sustaining a confession of error filed by the attorney generals office. The court held that LaWson's petition for a change of judge in his trial which began April T, 1915, should have been granted, and that this was sufficient to set aside the result of the trial, without considering another error mentioned in the confession. It did not remand the case for re-trial and LaWson's prose- cution is at an end.
 Lawson was indicted with a number of others for participation in the so- called battle of Ludlow in which Nimmo was shot through the leg and bled to death, the charges being of a conspiracy nature. He asked a change of judge, which was granted Judge Granby Hillyer succeeding Judge A. w. McHendrie as presiding judge in the case. Subsequently the indictment was dismissed and the attorney general filed information against Lawson on the same charge.
 On this Lawson was brought to trial before Judge Killyer who ruled that, having had one change of judge, he was

 Recogn hilton of the union and certain methods of checking, demanded by the strikers, were not included in the set clement. Increased wages, based on the Miami scale of $5.25 a day for underground workers, was given by the operators, along with a recogni- tion of an employees grievance com mittee, promise not to discriminate against strikers, cooperation with merchants to reduce the cost of living, and reduction to a minimum of the charge for employees rent, water and light.
