CAR SHORTAGE PROPOSAL
NOT FOLLOWED by ROADS
Time Limit of Ten Days Set by I. C..
C. to Name Committee Ex-
pires Today.

The time limit Of ten days given by
the interstate commerce commission to
the railroads of the country to appoint
la committee to cooperate with the
, commission in framing regulations to
relieve the countrywide shortage Of
box cars expired today No such COM
mittee has been appointed.
In its order of January 90, prescrib-
ing drastic regulations designed to re-
lieve the shortage in coal cars, the
commission notified the roads that
unless the committee were named the
commission would consider taking the
situation into it's own hands as it has
done with reference to the shortage of
coal cars. Remedial regulations look
ing to the amelioration of the boX-car
shortage will be discussed by the rail-
roads, however, at meeting Of the
American Railways Association in New
York next Friday.
The car service committee of the
association conferred yesterday with
Commissioner McChord with reference
to the order requiring the return of
coal cars to owning lines, and frankly
told him that while the roads would
bend every energy to obey the COM
missions orders, they did not think the
orders would afford the relief expected.
Some members of the committee were
of the opinion that obedience to the
new order would result in a worse
shortage of coal cars than has ever
prevailed before.
After its conference with Mr.. Nc
Chord. the committee adjourned, and, it
it understood, no further steps will be
taken until the situation is placed be-
fore the entire membership of the rail-
ways association at it's meeting in New
York.

Editorial
Did you ever sit before a big
open fireplace and toast your
shins, and warm your hands,
and dream dreams inspired by
the "ghost faces" of the smoke?
And, if wife and the Riddles
were there, too, wasn't it
comfortable, honey feeling
that stole over you and made
you feel that after all life is
worth the living?
Nothing in all the world beats
a home-a REAL HOME-for
satisfaction.
That is one of the reasons
why we do everything in our
power to make this a Home
Store-a store where you
FEEL at home. With all our
Improvements we've never for
a moment overlooked those
little things that make this
such a delightful place to shop.
Perhaps it would be we'll to
make our slogan the HOME
Store of Greater Service.

Foresees Diplomatic Complications.

Moreover, even If this test might be
equitably insisted on, one of the excep-
lions proposed to it's application in
wolves a provision which might lead to
very delicate and hazardous diplomatic
situations.
"The bill exempts from the operation
Of the literacy test all aliens who shall
prove to the satisfaction of the proper
immigration officer or to the Secretary
Of Labor that they are seeking admis-
sion to the United States to avoid re-
ligious persecution in the country of
their last permanent residence. whether
such persecution be evidenced by overt
acts or by laws or governmental regu-
lations that discriminate against the
alien or the race to which he belongs
because of his religious faith.
such a provision, SO applied and ad-
ministered, would oblige the officer con-
cerned IN effect to pass judgment upon
the laws and practices of a foreign gov
eminent and declare that they did or
did not constitute religious persecution.
Fears Serious Consequences.
"This would. to say the least be a
most invidious function for any admin
istrative officer of this government to
perform. and 1t is not only possible
but probable that very serious questions
of international justice and comfy
would arise between this government
and the government or governments
thus officially condemned should it's ex-
ercise be adopted.
"I dare say that these consequences
were not in the minds of the propo-
nents of this provision. but the pro-
vision separately and in itself renders it
unwise for me to give my assent to this
legislation in its present form"

Views Of President.

The Presidents veto message to the
House was as follows:
Il very much regret to return this
bill without my signature.
In most of the provisions of the bill
I should be very glad to concur. but l
cannot rid myself of the conviction that
the literacy test constitutes radical
change in the policy of the nation
which is not justified in principle.
1T is not test of character. of quail
ity or OF personal fitness, but would
operate in most cases merely as a PEN
atty for lack of opportunity in the
country from which the alien seeking
admission came.
The opportunity to gain an educa-
ton is in many cases one of the chief
opportunities sought by the immigrant
in coming to the United States, and our
experience in the past has not been that
the iIiiterate immigrant is as such an
undesirable immigrant. Tests of quail
ity and of purpose cannot be objected
to on principle, but tests of opportunity
surely may be.

Vetoed Four Times.

This was the fourth time that an
immigration bill has been vetoed be-
cause of the literacy test feature Pres
ident Wilson has exercised the veto
privilege twice, and Presidents 1alt
and Cleveland once each.
When Mr.. Wilson last vetoed the
measure the Senate passed 1t over the
veto nv more than a two-thirls ma
jortty, but the House failed OF two
thirds by a few votes.
The House passed the present meas
ure by a vote of 30S to 81 and the Sen
ate by 81 to T. These figures are taken
by congressional prophets as indication
that Congress will pass the measure
over the veto of Mr.. Wilson.

PERSONALITIES
 TAKE UP TIME

Losing sight of the main issue while they indulged in personalities pro- longed the preliminary hearing of Mrs. Ethel Butts, charged with the murder of Mrs. Amanda Butts, several hours yesterday. It required practically the entire day to go into the brief testl- mony, the greater part of the time being given over to bitter arguments between the attorneys for the defense and County Attorney Laney.
 MT. Laney accused MT. Zimmerman of trying his case in the newspapers. since a murder case is of sufficient importance to attract press represent atIves to the court room, the young lawyer took offense, and in his anger replied that he at least did not take the chance of losing his case on a technicality such as appeared to be the habit of the county attorney. MT. Laney gave the opposing counsel to understand that silly technicality' would not stand in the way of prose outing a criminal offense.
 Objections were raised to every question propounded by Zimmerman, but the hearing was finally concluded with the defendant being bound over to the superior court in the sum of Sl0UO0 bail She is again in the sher- ifs custody at the Crittenden Home, pending the habeas corpus proceedings this afternoon.
 Despite the strenuous objection of the county attorney, the gun and K ray pictures of the wounds were in troduced. Roscoe Kessler, who had testified at the preliminary hearing in Justice De Souza's court that the gun he had seen in the sheriffs office was the weapon he had seen in the hands of Mrs. Ethel Butts when she shot her sister-in-law, and was .32-calibre wnlte steel.

(By M. E. Bemis)

Drying from two to three tons of fruit daily is rather a big thing in it's line in the Salt River valley, and one which this year is of interest to everyone. This will be more appre- ciated next winter, probably, when one goes to the corner grocery for canned fruit and the grocer says that there is no more for common, ordi- nary folks. because every can is needed for the boys at the front.
 When we are brought up short like this and made to realize that We are really at war, and that there isn't enough -eats" to go around, and that we, like the Crickets in the old song, "sang the summer away" We will be glad to hear the corner groceryman say. Yes, I have something just as good; here are some apricots grown right here on Arizona soil with Ari zona water and Arizona sunshine and dried with the help of the same Arl- Zona sunshine"
 Four years ago R. P. Davie put out 16O acres of apricots and peaches, di- vided about half and half, on his big Marinette ranch. The original plan called for a cannery, and doubt less this will be a dream which will be realized later-when the Kaiser is resting comfortably on St. Helena This year a cannery is impossible, as there are no cans, and a cannery without cans is like a Ford without the engine.
 The next best thing to a cannery again identified by Kessler it proved to be a 3S-calibre blue steel. Other witnesses called were Dr. Win Wylie Charles Butts, pr. Watkins, Charles Nafzinger and Joe Balsz, who added little to what already has become known of the sensational case.
