CAUGHT MORE BOOZE.

Yesterday morning about 4 o'clock Deputy Sheriffs Bowden and Patter
 son captured two wagon loads of beer and whisky on the road about 12 miles east of Apache. The men who were driving the horses attached to the wagons hauling the booze fled in the darkness. A Gleeson man is the al legged owner of the teams and booze. For two days Bowden and Patterson have been on the lookout for this man and his two teams It was reported that he was in Rodeo and would leave there some time during the week. The roads, owing to the recent rains, are becoming almost impassaD:e for auto mobiles, particularly so for the ma chimes that are used by the bootleg gers for transporting whisky and beer.

ATTORNEY
 SAYS WITNESSES OF
 STATE MADE CHANCE
Maxwell McNutt, for Mrs. Mooney, Declares That His Clients Alibi Was Abso- lutely Proved by Many People.
(By Review Leased Wire )

SAN FRANCISCO, July 19.-State witnesses deliberately changed their testimony given in former trials to conform with the states theories in the trial of Mrs. Rena Mooney charged with murder in connection with the bomb murders here last July, accord ing to Maxwell McNutt, one of the counsel for the defense, in his opening address today to the jury.
 Reasonable Doubt.
 Although the state does not want you to consider evidence in the case and wants you to hang Mrs. Mooney because of the claim that she was an anarchistic conspirator. you are bound to consider the evidence" said Nc Mutt. Where there are reasonable doubts of guilt you must acquit. A multitude of reasonable doubts con front you"
 Evidence In Detail.
 McNutt took up the evidence in detail while Mrs. Mooney intently studied the faces of the jurors. He de- clared that the state had proved 10 motive for the crime; that the testi- mony of the alibi witnesses for Mrs. Mooney had not been impeached, that the case against her had been built up by Martin Swanson, detective employed by the district attorney
 McNutt declared the state had prov ed the defendant alibi by one Of it's witnesses. John Lawlor, who said he saw Mrs. Mooney on the roof of a building in which she resided at 1856. D. m.
 Argues More.
 Another state witness testified he saw Mrs. Mooney in an automobile at the scene of the explosion at 1: :50 p. m." said McNutt. ''Lawlor's testi mony conforms with the testimony of our alibi witnesses The explosion occurred at 2:06 p. m. The time Of 2:O6 D. m. is an enigma in this case If the defendants in the bomb cases time the internal machine to go off al 2:06 p. m. what was their object? A person schooled in crime, as the state contends this defendant is, does not do things without rhyme or reason
 More Argument.
 Earlier in the day District-Attorney Fickert concluded his summing. III and asked for verdict carrying tho death penalty. It was announced that McNutt would conclude his argument tomorrow morning and that Nathan Coglan, one of counsel for the de fense, would close. Assistant District Attorney Louis Ferrari, who has beer in charge of the trial, will close fol the state. It was expected that tht case would reach the jury Saturday night

and 50 on. The first drawing would have placed these groups of thousands in order in which the number nothing to 10 were drawn. The second draw ing would then have fixed the order of liability of the individuals in each of the thousands between themselves, thousand numbers being drawn to that end.
 Unfairness Apparent
 The result would then have been that if the three thousand group were first drawn in the little lottery, all the men bearing serial numbers in the three thousands would have been call ed for duty first and in the order in which their serial numbers came out in the big drawing. The result of the big drawing would then have been ap- piled to the other thousands in their order fixed by the little lottery.
 Failed to Shuffle Cards
 Each exemption district is compos- ed of several election districts which were the registration precincts in the first evolution of the draft measure. The registration cards were turned over to the exemption boards with in structions ro shuffle them before plac- ing upon each its serial number. In some districts, however, instead of st nj cards, each representing a complete registration precinct that were shur- fled. The first pack was opened then and the serial number one placed on the first card. Serial numbers were placed in rotation until the pack was

de3C OASy ever. In other cases it might be nec- essary to pass upon and exempt a thousand aliens before a single Amerl- can was called to service. In others a thousand negroes might be taken tor examination before white man was called, or vice versa.
 System Abandoned
 There was only one way out and the war department promptly announced that the whole intricate method of drawing devised to save time ana la Dor. would be abandoned in favor o1 the simple, direct plan of drawing sui ficient numbers to fix the place of the last man in the largest exemption dis trict. That was the original plan, and it was intended for weeks to draw ln that way, but the enormous amount of labor and the time involved prompt ed the effort to devise a short cut that would be fair to all.
 Officials congratulated themselves tonight that the difficulty in the way of the double drawing was Iound in- stead of after the drawing
 Former Plan Intricate
 The difficulty that forced abandon ment of the more elaborate method grew out of the detail of the plan. It was proposed to list all registrants in each district by thousands or frac- tions of thousands. Men whose serial numbers were in the three thousands would have been put in one group those with numbers of less than thousand in another, those with num- bers in the four thousands in another

 If the present rate of sinkings is maintained without the full force of our industrial efforts there can be only one conclusion and that is that we shall lose the war;" declared H. H. Outerbridge, president of the chamber in outlining the seriousness of the sub marine campaign.
 The conference was not concerned, he said, as to wehther ships were built of wood or steel, but it's chief con cern was to speed up building.
 Congress Takes Notice
 WASHINGTON, July 19.-Congress took note of the shipbuilding TOW to- day when the senate passed without debate a resolution offered by Sen ator Shoot calling on President Will son to furnish information concern ing the governments ship construc- tion program.
 Chairman Denman announced to- night that the board seeks further in formation concerning the generals program and that no decision will be made until the subject has been given full consideration.
 There have been intimations that the board may disapprove of parts of the generals scheme. If this situa- tion arises many believe it will be necessary for President Wilson to de eide who shall be in supreme charge of the building program. Friends oi General Goethals say he may refuse to accept the boards suggestions fl they involve radical cnanges in his plans.

surgeons people were carrying of the

shirt sleeves, with the hammer in his
hand, and, just as if he bad been the
officer, told them off with authority
who should go to the cockpit with the
wounded men. who should stay with
him, perfectly CHEEKY and with that
way which makes men feel sure all is
right and is going to be right. And he

hands, aimed 1t and babe the men fire.
And there be stayed. captain of that
gun, keeping those fellows in spirits
till the enemy struck. The captain
walked forward by way of encourag-
ing the men. and Nolan touched his
hat and said:
81 am showing them how we do this
In the artillery. sir"
And this is a part of the story where
all the legends agree-that the commo-
dore said:
81 see you do. and l thank you, sir,
and | shall never forget this day. sir.
and you never shall, sir"
And after the whole thing was over
and he had the E~nglishman's sword In
the midst of the state and ceremony of
the quarterback he said:
"Where is Mr.. Nolan? Ask Mr.. No
Ian to come here"
And when Nolan came the captain
said:
.Mr. Nolan. we are all very grateful
to you today. You are one of US today.
You will be named in the dispatches"
And then the old man took off his
own sword of ceremony and gave it to
Nolan and made him put it on. The
man told me this who saw it. Nolan
cried like a baby. and well he might.
He had not worn a sword since that
internal day at Fort Adams.
The captain did mention him In the
dispatches. 1t was always said he
asked that be might be pardoned. He
wrote a special letter to the secretary
of war. But nothing ever came of 1t.

when they began to ignore the whole
