 from the Moneys apartments at 2:0o
 D. m An automobile travelling at the
 rate of 15 miles an hour would have
 taken the Moneys from the scene ot
 the explosion to their residence in four
 minutes, F7ickert said.
 "Reputahle witnesses saw the Moo- neys and Billings at a point on Market
 street about mile from the scene or the explosion" said Fickert. Billings
 was carrying a suitcase containing the bomb at this point half an hour before the explosion occurred.
 "Other reputable witnesses saw a
 suitcase on the sidewalk at the scene , of the explosion. It is folly for the de fense to claim the bomb was hurled through the air, One witness saw Bill ings place the suitcase"
 Robert Minor, treasurer of the In ternational Workers Defense league, which has been active in Mrs. Moneys defense, testified as a rebuttal state witness today that he had drawn sev- eral cartoons for the Blast. the publi- cation of which Alexander Berkman was the editor. Through the Blast, the state contended. the conspirators spread their anarChistic propaganda. F'ickert declared in his argument that Minor was the paymaster of the an archistic crew."
 F'ickert will continue his argument tomorrow and Maxwell McNutt will open for the defense. It was expected the case will reach the jury Saturday.

 PLEAD CASE IF
 CITY RAILROAD

One of the most important steps talk en by the city commission in some time was the action yesterday in suspending for a period of years the order to have the street railway company permanent ly pave its right of way where property owners have or will pave in the near future. Among the impe ling motives Ter this action "n tn" part of the com n" sion was t.ie fJ.4L - t solution submitted by the hplrl Of directors of the Phoenix Chamber of Commerce:
 Whereas: the city commission of the city of Phoenix has ordered the Phoenix track and to pave certain portions of it's system, and
 Whereas: The PhoenlX Street Rail- way company has appeared before the city commission and also before the lI"ectors of the I~oeniX Chamber of Commerce and has prc@e led d finan cHt. statement of the affairs of the said c1mtan%. and,
 Wheitas: After careful investigation of the financial statement as preSented Il by the hoenix Street Railway compInJ aud i;So of the financial s:atefuer- as prepared by the city audito, from the records ol the Arizona corporation com r.ission and internal rev enue office and L 1dUlN tdA dSSeSSOT, it dppt'tTS eN luellt tlia. it will be financiailv impossil ie for the said company, at this time, 10 finance .llgl gra 'e of paving between if t'atHs and to douo,e track it's sys . tenn as ordered by the city commission, and,
 Whereas; The present market condi- tions are such that if the order of the city commission is carried out and cer- tain portions of the system of the Phoenix Street Railway company are double tracked, there will be imposed upon the company d much greater eX- pense than would be imposed under normal market conditions.
 l Now, Therefore; We, the board o1 i directors of the Phoenix Chamber oi Commerce. resolve that the commission of the city of Phoenix be urged tc suspend its order to the Phoenix Street Railway company to pave and double track certain portions of it's system with the explicit understanding that tht
 city commission will not in so doing | jeopardise the interests of the city O. Phoenix and that the city commission
 will so word its order of postponemen 1 that the original order calling fol double tracking and pavement can b' re-enacted at a later date and with thu further understanding that the Phoeni! 1 Railway company will immediately pave Monroe street with standard pay
 ing and will pave all the intersections 1 of the streets with standard pavin,
 where so ordered and will pave betweel the tracks where so ordered witt crushed rock and oil in a manner sat

GERMANS THROWING SHELLS INTO LINES
 THEY ONCE HELD
Republican A. p. Leased Wire1

After having tried Intellectually to overcome the French gains in the Verdun sector between the astern edge of the Acocourt wood and hill BOA the Germans have ceased their costly en- terpriSe and are now contenting them selves with throwing shells into the positions which General Petain's men forced them to evacuate.
 Likewise. along the Chemin des Danes. the violent infantry activity of the early week has ceased and atillery duels instead are taking place.
 The British and the Germans con- tinue their violent artillery duels in northern Belgium and Field Marshal Haig's forces are keeping up their har assing patrol raids on numerous sec tors of the front. One of the most suc cessful of these enterprises was car ried out east of Monchy le Preux, in the Arras sector in which the British gained ground and took prisoners.
 On the Russian front, General Kor- niloff's army in east Galicia is stub bornly holding back the reinforced Austro-German armies, which at vari ous points are endeavoring to wrest from them the positions recently won in the Halicz and Kalusz sectors. In the latter region near the village of Novica, the enemy won a vantage point from the Russians but immediately afterward in counter attack lost it again. The Germans are violently bom- barding the Russians south of BrZe- zany and near Halicz.
 Later reports from Petrograd are to the effect that the disorders have been quelled. In Tuesdays fighting in the 1 streets Of Petrograd six persons were | killed and 23S wounded
