HIGHWAY COMMISSION
 LAW IN EFFECT

Official word was received in Tomb stone this morning from Secretary of State sidney P. Osborn that only 300 signatures to refer the Highway Commission had been filed up 10 last ligh,. As this is not One-eighth though names, 2S80 being the neces- ;ary amount. ihe act became a law II midnight last night. just ninety lays after it's passage and approval.
 lt was for the purpose of prevent ing it's going into effect that the ref. erendum against it was started by some evidently incompetent engi. 1eers at Miami. who were afraid of losing their jobs under the new law which called for efficiency and not 1olitcal pull.
 Immediately after finding out that opposition of this character had been started against the bill as pass sd by the legislature J. N. Gaines of Tombstone. secretary of the Cochise County Taxpayers Association. be. came active and addressed a public appeal through the newspapers of the state to refuse to sign the refer. endum, with the result that the at. tack of the highway bill by the Miami opponents failed miserably as the news from Phoenix this morn. ing brought out.
 The new law provides that a board of five citizen members be appoint. ed by the supervisors of each county for the purpose of overseeing all road work. The board is to work without pay.
 At the time of it's passage by the .dst legislature there was no OppOsi- ton and it was not expected an at. tack would bc made upon it for the purpose of referring it to the people Tor a vote. This of course, was solely done for the purpose of delay iEs the act from going into effect as a law. for as soon as referred it would not become a law until voted upon. which would have meant over a years delay.
 The people of Cochise county will be more than delighted to hear of the failure of the referendurn on this law. and the highway commission will be appointed either the last Of this week CT at the next meeting of the board of supervisors. As soon as the commission is appointed plans already under way for a bond

e7 HUNDRED MEN
 REGISTERED IN cocHlsE

Slxty-seven hundred men between the ages of 21 and 90 registered for possible military service in Cochise county alone on Tuesday. according to final reports compiled yesterday afternoon by the sheriff's office. A complete report from every precinct In the county was in the sheri1's of. fee in Tombstone at 5:3o o'clock yesterday afternoon, the first time the results of any registration or eiec- ton have been collected in less than 24 hours after the various precinct offices closed The greater portion of the credit for this remarkable showing is due to the system worked out by Chief Deputy Sheriff Guy C..

Connecticut State Council of Defense Moves to Increase
 It's Efficiency.
All War Activities to Be Centralized in Towns Having a Population
 of .80O0 or Over.

An important step in the direction of war work efnciency in Connecticut was taken recently at a meeting in the State Capitol at Hartford, when nearly 8 hundred Of the most active war workers and city and town off, cials of Connecticut endorsed 8 rec ommendation of the Connecticut State Council of Defense that war bureaus to have: centralized control of nearly all local war activities be established in every town and city of the state having a population of 5000 or over. The proposed war bu- reaus, when established, will amplify the present town committees of the council and it is expected that they will bring together in one bureau the work of practically all the civilian war organizations except a few of na- .tional scope, such as the American Red Cross and the Young Mems Christian Association.
 The war bureaus will act as local representatives of the Defense Coun- cil, will have carefully selected off, cers, one of whom will give all his time to the work of each bureau, and executive committees which will in clude in their membership represen- tatives of all the more important local war relief societies.

 ''In 233? Jennison was his name"
 That's the fellow. It seems that he k always aboard when Applebee is and invariably comes home in the same steamer. but they never have a word to say to each other on board nor ashore either, the detectives say. It's all managed by means of the dog. And this is how it is done. Applebee has a dog, of course. and never travels by any boat that hasn't regular first rate kennels, such as we have on the Victo. Tia. Every time he goes to see his own Jog he stops to careSs the other fel- lows and outs three or four diamonds into the brute's mouth. They've train ed the creature so that he won't open his mouth or swallow the diamonds or chew 'em up till Jennison. his master, comes along and takes 'em out So in the course of the voyage they're all transferred from Applebee to Jenni- | lil. and yet the two men have never been within twenty feet of each other. Then at the last moment Jennison feeds the diamonds 10 the dog in little chunks of meat. and when the poor beast is safe ashol. they kill him for the sake Of his contents"
 ''I could swallow the diamonds my self" said I, "a good deal easier than can swallow this story. and I'd like to know what Stover swallowed before he dreamed it. Somebody must have invented a new drug"
 "Oh, nor said Jarvis. There's no doubt about it.
 I turned to Miss Leyland and begged her to wait for me in the hanson.
 I gained admittance to the inspec- tors room. and, though it was a murky place wherein could not at first dis tinsuish one man from another, saw the dog at once. He sat on a mat be- side the steam heater, shiyering and growing, while square toed customs man in blue pea jacket was holding the beast by chain.

 Where is MT. Stover?" asked, and his chief subordinate replied that he was gone.
