IMPORTANT RULING
ON BAILABLE CASES

PHOENIX, Ariz., March 3-The ac-
ton OF the trial court in refusing bail
to Paul Welisch, of Douglas, convicted
of violation of the prohibition amend-
ment, pending an appeal, was upheld
by the Supreme court, in an elaborate
opinion discussing the condition and
extent of bailable offenses since the
passage by the people of the state of
the anti-capital punishment law. The
Supreme Court holds that since all
capital offenses have been abolished
that all persons charged with crime,
even treason, however diabolicaI or
murder how ever astrocious, and how
soever' evident may be the proof of
guilt thereof, as we'll as all other feon-
les and misdemeanors may before con-
viction demand admission to bail as
strict legal right which no judge or
court can properly refuse" The court
holds however that after conviction of
misdemeanor, when Jail sentence
mas Deen imposed, the defendant can
not be released on bail, except under
extraordinary circumstances to be de-
termined at the discretion of the court
The court holds that the legislature
may remedy this condition, but as the
statutes now stand, a man convicted
of misdemeanor and punished by
Jail sentence cannot be released from
custody The court therefore denied
the application of Welisch, Sam Wood,
Ed Somerfield, A. D. Ross, and Charles
Sutton, all of Douglas.

THE PERFIDY OF GERMANY

The astounding revelation of Ger
many's plan to embroil the United
States in war with Mexico and Japan
in the event of hostilities with this ma
ton, and the disclosure that while pre-
tending friendship for this country she
was really actively engaged in plotting
against u.s. came to the American people
this week with terrific suddenness. For
the past two years there have been hints
OF German plots and activities, muni-
ton plants have been wrecked, and in
some instances German agents have
been arrested and convicted of violat-
ing our neutrality. Much of the Mex
ican trouble, including Villas raid on
Columbus, and similar outbreaks along
the border have been blamed on German
agents and German gold, but without
the definite proof needed to implicate
the German government. The recent
revolutionary outbreak in Cuba has also
been charged to German activities, but
the American public was inclined to
await proof before accepting such state
ments as other than idle rumors.
But now the cat is out Of the bag. Not
only the consuls and subconsuls Of Ger
many are implicated, but the German
am bassa dor, Won Bernstorff, who
thanks to the courtesy of the United
States is safely embarked for his dear
Fatherland after having plotted act
lively against this nation during his stay
here. He left with great many croco-
die tears for the dear United States,
doubtless because he could not stay on
and assist in the perfidious work he had
been carrying on. We have also the in
structiOns from the German minister of
foreign affairs, Herr Zimmerman to
Germany's representative in Mexico,
which makes the whole treacherous
scheme plain as day
The japanese embassy at Washing
ton has branded the whole story as as
founding, impossible and entirely un-
founded so far as Japan is concerned.
We are inclined to believe that the
Japanese embassy is right Probably
Japan would hesitate a long time be-
fore throwing overheard her allies and
throwing in with Germany, now fight
ing desperately for existence.
In crisis like this, the most serious
since the outbreak of the war, every
American has but one thought, one
duty, and that is to serve his country to
the utmost. 1t is no time to talk, or to
brag, or to lament our unpreparedness.
We are all Americans, and, whatever
partisan ideas one may have had, they
are now thrown into the discard How
to serve best his country in the hour
of need is the vital question facing
every American man and woman today.
There can be no turning back when the
stars and stripes command.

NEW YORK MAYOR WANTS To KNOW
ABOUT AR|zONA'S FOOD PRODUCTION

PHOENIX, Ariz., March 3.-Govern-
or Campbell is in receipt of communi-
cation from Mayor John Purroy Mitch
ell of New York. asking for information
that will be of interest in connection
with the food crisis in New York city.
The mayor wants to know who are
the big producers of food stuffs in the
state who ships the most and pretty
generally where it is shipped to; he
wants to know what crop conditions
are here now, and what chance there
Is OF there being bigger crops in the
coming harvesting periods than have
been experienced before Further he
The Arizona copper camp., 1917-03-03

asks who there is in Arizona willing to
use New York as a market for produce
who has done so before, and if there
are any marketing organizations with
in the state, and what cooperation and
supervision is given to these things
by the state authorities. Then by no
means the least question is about the
women's organizations that are con-
cerned.

m1nat1On to force an extra session. They
are doing this for two reasons, because
they wish to throw the blame for the eX-
pense of an extra session on Governor
Campbell, and because they are hoping
against hope that before the extra ses-
sion could be convened that Hunt would
have been given a decision in the lower
courts and reseated in the executive
chair
This is the worst sort of peanut poll
tics. Disregarding their solemn oths
taken before the chief justice of the su-
preme, court, group of officials, elected
by the people, have deliberately set out
to waste the public funds by forcing an
extra session. They openly admit that
this is their object, and are using every
possible means known to block the pres
ent session, so that they can come back
for another weary sixty days at seven
dollars day.
To the credit Of the Pinal county
delegation in the legislature, it must be
said that neither of them has lent him
self. to such shameful practices Sen
atOr Devine has been one of the fore
most workers for progress in the SEN
ate, where everything has gone COM
paratively smoothly. DR.. Davis, our
representative in the house, has on sew
eral occasions expressed his disgust at
the tactics employed by his colleagues,
or rather small group of them. He has
voted and worked consistently against
such shameful practices as have been
resorted to by those who care more for
their own petty, selfish aims than for
the people of the state.
The situation in the house again
brings to mind the fact that the mem
bers Of the house are overpaid Seven
dollars day looks like so much to many
of the members that they would gladly
prolong their tenure of office. Judged
by the service they have rendered the
people Of the state there are at least
dozen Of them who would be overpaid If
they were to receive a salary Of two bits

GERMAN-BORN MOTHER SPEEDS HER ONLY SON
 TO DEFEND OLD GLORY

DOUGLAS, Dec. 14-Mr. and Mrs Gus Grundler are pioneer residents of Douglas who raised their chil- dren here and have in many ways become closely identified with this country. Both are natives of Ger many but loyal to the country of their adoption and of their chil- dren's nativity.
 Mrs. Grundler recently visited Se- attle where her only son, Oscar had been for some time in the em- ploy of the Goodyear Rubber com pany. Going to the city it was but natural that she should contemplate the purchase of several new things in the line of clothes and for that purpose she carried with her a neat sum of money.
 About the time she arrived in Se- attle her son, having considered the step for some time, decided to enlist offer himself to his country in what soever capacity he would be needed He was accepted and is now drilling for the engineers corps. Then it was that mother love and mother pride in her only son asserted itself and, regardless of the fact that her son had been making good wages, Mrs Grundler forced him to take every dollar she had taken with her keeping for herself only the price of ticket back to Douglas. While she knew that her son would get everything due a soldier from the government, she realized that there are many things which add to the comfort of soldier that the gov ernment does not furnish, and it was that her boy might have these that she denied herself the articles she had intended to purchase for herself, put herself in that divinely blessed class of American mother hood and American womanhood that is going to win the present sgreat struggle.

THREE NEWBORN STARS MILLION
 OF YEARS OLD
Support the Belief That Beyond the Milky Way There Are Other
 UniverSeS

BERKELEY, Cal, Dec. 14.-Three newborn stars, which blazed up as a result of collisions or other dis asters in two far-distant spiral ne- bulae, and then within few months dimmered their fires until they could no longer be detected by the most powerful telescopes-th is dis covery just announced by Astrono- mer Robert D. Curtis of the Lick Observatory of the University of California. He believes that it is perhaps twenty million years ago these catastrophies occurred. But so vastly distant are these two spiral nebulae that only now has the light sent forth by thes collisions com pleted its journay through space and phes of the heavans that happened perhaps twenty million years ago.
 The special importance of the dis covery of these three New Stars" in spiral neblae is the evidence giv- en in support of the belief that each of the spiral nebulae outside the Milky Way is in itselNan enormous universe of stars, comparable in vastness to the Milky Way. in which we dwell.
 That the Milky Way itself is vast spiral nebula is an opinion which is finding increasing support among the worlds leading astronomers.
 Especially significant is the fact that these three new stars now dis covered at the Lick Observatory are in spiral nebulae, and not in our own universe of stars. Astron- omer Curtis's discovery doubles the number of new stars discovered in spiral nebulae, since only three had previously been recorded. although twenty-six new stars have been re- corded in our own galaxy, the Mil ky Way
