Brooding over the worlds war in which his relatives are doing their bit Drago Kojovich yesterday afternoon shot himself through the head with d thirtytwo calibre revolver dying in stantly. The Austrian, who came here months ago for his health was de- spondent over the illness and his con- dition coupled with his anxiety for his loved ones across the sea are believed to have jointly influenced him in talk ing his own life.
 Little is known about Kojovich who came here from Butte. He has been living quietly in a small cottage on North Central avenue He had few friends and they apparently know but little of his lifes history. That he has brother in the army and sister in Austria was the m-eser information they could give Coroner De Seuza, who investigated the suicide.
 That he has been in a Respondent mood for days was the statement made by those who had been in contact with him during the pas week and who were not surprised to learn that he had ended his life.

ARIZONA UNIVERSITY
 MEN IN OWN CLASS

The following article appeared re- gently in the Associated Press dis patches but it did not apply to Uni versity of Arizona men:
 'Discovered-the reason why so many college men ''flunked" and did not re- ceive commissions at the reserve of ficers training camp at the Presidio It was because they "cobbled'' through school and had no elf-independence and could not give commands, accord ing to Adjutant General Kane of Wash ington. D. C., in communication re ceived by President Benjamin Ide Wheeler of the University of California. General Kane said, in part:
 They were mentally and physi- cally slouchy.'
 In describing the shortcomings of the college men, he claimed they had been pushed through school, and had been spoiled. because they were not under proper discipline. T.le sudden change to army life gave them no time to ad just themselves to new conditions. even in ca ses where adjustment was pos sible. He said the college man couldn t stand on his feet and talk, and couldn' t give commands because his tongue was tied with indecision and "sloppishness. ''
 Arizona sent much larger than it's share of men to the Presidio. Of all men from all communities less than 50 per cent received their commissions while the percentage of University of Arizona men was over so and the few that were dismissed were largely on ac- count of physical disability, the prin- cipal causes being underweight and de- fective eyesight.

OLDT T|NERH|T . BY AUTO WHILE
 CROSSING ROAD
Daniel Shields Expected
 To Die From Effect of Accident; No Blame Is Attached to Cars Driver

As a result of being struck and knocked down by light automobile driven by Mrs. Homer Evans of 1401 East Washington street, about o'clock yesterday afternoon, Daniel Shields. or Six Points, sustained injuries from which it is not expected he will recover. Besides two fractures of the skull one on top and the other at the base, the sixty-year-o pioneer of the Salt Riv- CT Valley, suffered shock that for one of his years would ordinarily prove fatal.
 Becoming confused as he started to cross the street at Grand avenue and Van Buren street, Shields stepped al- most directly in front of the machine al iVen by Mrs. Evans. A warning was sounded by Mrs. Evans who was driving slowly. Shields stepped forward as if to avoid the automobile and Mrs. Evans turned her wheel in the opposite direc- tion. The man evidently misunderstood her intention and stepped back directly in the path of the machine. Before Mrs Evans could bring her automobile to stop in the few feet intervening she had struck Shields. The front wheel passed over his body but the machine stopped before the rear wheels luuCned nm.
 Captain Hi Mcdonald, of the Phoe- nix police, stationed at Five Points, heard the warning blasts given by Mrs. Evans and turned in time to see Shields step first one way and then the other. He saw the machine strike Shields nd hurried to the side of the fallen man. Shields was picked up and taken into a drug store and Dr. P. R. DOron summoned. Shields was uncon- scious and blood flowed from a wound on the head. Dr. Doron directed the removal of Shields to the Sisters Hos pital and there pr. E. Payne Palmer, assisted by Dr. Doron and Dr. Roy Thomas performed an operation. No anesthetic was administered as the man was unconscious It was said that had 1t been necessary to have given an anesthetic there would have been no need of the operation as it would have been practically certain he would not have rallied.
 Those who witnessed the accident, state that there could absolutely be h.. blame attached to Mrs Evans She was driving slowly. on the right side of the road and her machine was well under control. She did her best to avoid striking Shields and if he had contin- ued on his way as she belitved he would, she would have passed behind him

Emtrugtg Friend
 of Few Days With S3z5S Now M@ulrms

Jack Van Ellsworth is looking for a friend he lost Somewhere in Phoenix" yesterday.
 The friend, an acquaintance of a week who gave his name as George w. Turner, wanted to do Van Els worth a favor and exchange his $375, which he had in twenty dollar bills to fifty dollar bills. He took the money shortly before noon and agreed to meet his friend at 2 o'clock. It was nearly o'clock when Van Ellsworth told his troubles to the sheriff's office.
 He had worked in a creamery in California he said, and managed to save the few hundred dollars he had when he met Turner in Prescott. They chummed together and came to Phoenix day before yesterday. It Twas after they had been here that Turner suggested that his money was bundelsome and should be in larger bills.
 Van Ellsworth left a description of the man with the sheriff and is offering $50 reward for his cap ture. ts.. n.e-

REDMOND RESIGNS
 ID JOIN THE !cI0L01Rs

John McKittrick Redmond secretary of the Arizona state prison at Florence has rendered his resignation to Gov ernor Thomas E. Campbell and is leav- ing shortly to join the quartermaster's s department.
 Coming from a long line of fighting ancestors it was but natural for Jack Redmond to try to join Uncle Sam's forces when war first broke out His grandfather, Captain w. H. McKit- trick, served in both the Mexican and civil wars, and lost his life in the charge on Fort Gilmore while leading Company c, 18th regiment New York infantry of which company he was the commander. His uncle, Captain W. H. McKittrick, who has large interests in this state, fought through the Spanish American war and had the honor of hoisting the stars and stripes at San tiago Cuba. Captain McKittrick was the son-in Jaw of the late General Wm H. Shafter.
 Unfortunately an accident to Jack s right eye some years ago led to his re- jection from the officers training camp and even for enlistment as a private. Continued pressure, how ever. finally brought it's reward and Mir. Redmond will achieve his ambi- tlOn to wear Khaki, for he has been or dered to join the quartermaster's de- partment at Douglas, from which post he is to be transferred to his organ iZation in the field.
 Jack Redmond's twenty years in Ari- zona have made him well known He was delegate to the National Pro- gressive convention in Chicago in 1912, and before that had served two years in the Arizona Territorial Rangers. He was also for several years first lieu tenant in Company M, First Arizona Infantry. When the Roosevelt di- vision of volunteers was first proposed MT. Redmond was selected to be one of the Arizona officers in that body, 1 but upon its rejection he was obliged to change his plans and ambitions with the result that he is now giving up lucrative position to become a private. giving up wife and home for his country-an example of pure patri- otism that bespeaks the nature of his manhood.

BILL DOHENEY
 |S COALHEAVER

A letter received yesterday from Billy Doheney, former editor of the La Journal ard once president of the union here. to his father, w. p. Oo- heney, is descriptive of military life at Camp Funston where he went with the first five per cent contingent of se- Iected men from this county. He writes that he is engaged from morning unt1 niqht in shoveling coal into a hungry furnace with three ten minute inter missions for meals. All this is in Vio lation of all the eight hour laws ever written, but he is making no complaint or demanding better working condl- tons.
 He is receiving no time and haif for overtime but is getting something better. an appetite that 1t keeps hir7 busy to satisfy in ten minutes. So far he has encountered nothing at Camp Funston to justify the famous dictam reqarding war offered by General Sher- man.

thing, considered as an individual creature, as can be imagined, yet with his fellow insect, the flea, he has killed more men than all the lions that ever breathed It is related that man in the days when the West was really wild and woolly was accused of some serious crime. He denied the charge and there was no direct proof of his guilt, but the resourceful accsuers stripped him and tied him to tree where the mosquitoes could get at him.
 Very soon, trembling in agony from the torture of their bites, he confessed. Thousands of men, women and chil- dren have died of yellow fever. The mosquito, which carried the disease, was unmasked, and it is no longer a terror to the world When it became known that fleas were the carriers of the bubonic plague this problem was solved. From the beginning of time men have feared ths monsters of the forest and jungle, and all the while the tiny things they ignored were their worst enemies.
