With the United States

Washington, April 9.

pressure of Germany, has
severed diplomatic relations
with the United States.
Baron Erich Zweidinek,
chsrge d'afires Of the Aus

called at the state depart

Almost at the same time a
dispatch was received from
American Minister Stovall at
Berne saying the dual mon
archy had broken off diplo-
matte relations with t h e

was done by handing pass

Once more the defendants of
Levi Ward Hancock, about 70 in

2 o'clock p. M, upon the big hill
and on the lots of his son Joseph
S. Hancock to honor and respect
the one hundred and tenth birth

and one of the faithful members
of the Mormon battalion. Iron
man that he was, he has many
times been know to weep, when
relating the trials and hardships
that they passed through.
He has a wonderful posterity,
some being absent now, about
SO living upon homesteads among
the tall pines, who were not
present, and many being in Gra-
ham and Maricopa counties Ari-

Nebraska and who knows where?
After singing, "Oh We Mountains
High" prayer was offered by
Joseph S. Hancock; then partak-
ing of the eatables, such as Eas-
ter eggs, vegetables and picnic
that were gathered from in and
around Hancockville.
We had no occasion to take
any thonght of what we shall
eat, or what we shall drink, dur
ing that happy time.

what he actually knew.
Startton again admitted assist
ing at least fifteen and possibly
twenty voters in marking their
ballots. Of this number not
more than five were given phys
ical aid, he stated, but in each
case where he personally placed
the mark on the ballot, the voter
was either near-sighted or physi-
cally incapacitated. He did not
mark after the name of any can
didate other than the one the
voter indicated, he testified.
A disposition from Miss Han
son. a school teacher at Snow
flake, stated that Stratton had
placed a mark after Judge
Baughn's name on her ballot.
Stratton was questioned regard
ing this particular ballot but
could not remember having as
sisted Miss Hanson in any way.
However, the witness stated
that the reputation of Miss Han
son was beyond repraoch and
unless her memory played her
false, he undoubtedly did mark
her ballot. He did not have any
recollection of it but said he
would not refute Miss Hanson's
statement as her memory would
be clearer on the incident than
his as he had assisted so many
voters during the day.

No Fraud Nor Crime
Committed in Snowflake

Mondays Phoenix Gazette)
Witnesses for the Campbell
side were placed on the stand
this morning to testify as to
what occurred in the Snowflake
precinct on November Z, election
day. With two or three excep-
tions the witnesses were the
same persons subpoenaed by
Senator Ives for the Hunt side
and from the testimony given no
startling irregularities nor any,
thing out of the ordinary was
disclosed.
w. E. Stratton, one of the
judges of the election board, was
recalled as a Campbell witness
and gave the same testimony as
last Saturday when on the stand
for the contestant. Stratton
probably is the best witness that
has taken the stand during the
Hunt-Campbell contest, and both
the HINT and Campbell attorneys
conceded that he was telling

1t is matter Of satisfaction and appreciation on
the part Of Snowflake people that some Of the merOpOE-
tan and most widely circulated and influential papers Of
the state have treated the matter Of throwing out the
Snowflake box, in the Hunt Campbell contest, in way to
show that no fraud or crime had been committed by either
voters or election judges in Snowflake that our people are
as whole above the average in intelligence and morals;
that whatever we have done was due to legal technical

this morning that Mrs. Smith
was too rotund to get between
the desks and took a seat in the
front of the room near the stove.
He did not remember seeing
Smith help Mrs. Smith nor notice
her marking her ballot.
Charles H. Ballard, the other
judge of the election board, was
sworn in as a Campbell witness
and testified that all of the doors
were locked upon his arrival at
the polls early in the morning of
the election. He knew this be-
cause he was the first one there
and attempted to get in out the
cold. Senator Ives intimated Sat-
urday that door leading into a
room opposite the polls was left
unlocked and afforded an oppor-
tunity for voters to come in
through the rear entrance and
mark as many ballots as they
desired to.
Ballard admitted going into
the booth with George Willis, an
aged resident Of Snowflake, in
company with Stratton. Willis
stated that he wanted to vote the
straight republican ticket and
Ballard pointed out where the
cross should be made. Other
than this no assistance was given
the voter, Ballard said. At diff
ferent times in the forenoon
Ballard or Stratton would go into
the polls unaccompanied by a
member of the election board,
the witness testified. This prac-
tice was stopped in the afternoon
when the election board was read
the election laws by w. H. Shum-
way, the democratic challenger,
Ballard said.
Judge Stanford asked each
witness several questions during
the morning session and brought
out several incidents that were
not touched upon by the attor-
neys for either side.

AS one Of the features, there were presented the

These certificates, won by large number of schools

. That they be allowed to help the
United States by donating a large
sum to the Red Cross fund, was the
request made Monday afternoon by
leading Japanese businessmen at a
meeting held with the Pan-Ameriean
Union at the Laniakea.
The spokesman for the japanese
was T. Hada, who said that as the
Japanese could not fight for the Unit
ed States they had chosen the Red
Cross as the best means Of giving aid.
The meeting was presided over by
former Governor Walter F. Frear,
while w. R. Castle, vice-president Of

The japanese delegates beside Hata

ham intends to make public an ex'
preston of his opinion as to. the pro-
posed removal, of the circuit and sup

Letters sent to Chief Justice A. g.

emphatic protests Of Circuit Judges
Ashford, Kemp and Heen against the
proposed removal, and also against
the proposed plan to erect circuit

Governor Pinkham declares that he
still adheres to his former plans for
the creation of a civic center in the
vicinity of the Capitol and Judiciary

wait until he sees the plans for the
new federal building before taking
further steps forward.

"McCandIesS For Governor"

L. L. MeCandless, who aspires to be governor OF
this territory, is notorious for his blocking and at
tempted blocking Of public Improvements.
The city attorneys Office now is preparing letter
to McCandless declaring that unless he pays the
frontagetax assessment for the paving of Beretania
street action will be taken to sell the property at
public auction.
McCandless fought the Beretania street improve
ment by every means in his power but the obvious
welfare Of the city and public sentiment defeated his
obstinate efforts to kill the improvement project.
McCandless may secure the Endorsement of 1.-The
party" at a Democratic luau run by his henchmen;
he may secure the Endorsement Of party committees
made up largely Of men controlled by him and his
henchmeD; he may have the backing of the politi
clans whom he has largely supported for years
but what Endorsement does Hawaii as a whole give
IA man who tries to put himself above the law and

A WARYARN DENIED.

The Associated Press takes occasion to deny
story recently current in Japan, and to extent
in the United States concerning probable use Of
Japanese troops in Siberia. The story, which eman-
ated from Russia, was that If Russia made separate
peace with Germany, japanese troops would occupy
Siberia. It was prominently printed in the Japa.
nese press and promptly characterized absurd by
the japanese foreign office 49, ~.
The Japanese press thinks that the report was
probably fabricated for the purpose of suppressing
the peace movement brewing among the Russian
people ~~~."
The report declared that if Russia relaxed her
military efforts she would be threatened with seri
Gus danger from Japan and that according to a
treaty concluded with the Entente powers Japan
would have the right to occupy all Siberia as far
AZ the Ural mountains. This was denied by British
statesmen.

country owes to US and q little more Of what we
owe to the country.
II will serve as nothing else ecnld to unity and

population.
II will develop and bring ont just those traits Of
discipline. steadiness, respect for authority and
law which, whatever our other excellences NAV be.

If our young men are taught to stand straight
and walk straight It win help them to think straight
and live straight.
