LAWS NOT OBSERVED
 IN B|SBEE
POLLS WERE KEPT OPEN g MINUTES AFTER SIX AND MEN SERVED ON BOARD WHO WERE NOT PROPER OFFICIALS.

PHOENIX, April 19.-If the tri- fling Irregularities occurring in Snow flake last election day were sufficient to disfranchise the people of that pre- cinct, wonder what will happen to Bisbee No. |?
 According to the testimony adduced in the contest today it was one large, juicy day of irregularities and then some. Bill Cleary, labor leader who was anxious to vote some Huntites who appeared after the polls closed at o'clock is said to have remarked: By - they'll let 'cm vote or we'll blow 'em mp" They voted after the hour and the election board was not blown up.
 According to the testimony of John Carreto, judge of the election board, who was the first witness called, tic election was completely in the hands of the Democratic party, many of whom were candidates for some office. During the day Vans Johnson and John Rock, candidates for reelection on the board of supervisors, brought in several different nien to serve on the board, the witness said. The original board consisted of John Car rcto. K. R. Roscoe. George Reardon, Arthur White and J. s. Dickstin, it was stated. During the day L. B. Whitney, city attorney of Bisbee and at present associate counsel for Hunt; Al Howell. sheriff: Councilman Del vidge, ]. Reilly, Charles King and a man named Doty served intermittent ly as members of the election board, times to allow one or two men who were not in the precinct to go out and vote, Carrcto testified. When the polls opened there was no marshal present and it was not until about $50 that one was procured.
 Carrcto explained what transpircd previous to the closing of the polls. Realizing that the long line of voters outside could not possibly have time to register their votes, Carrcto asked the board if they would close the polls exactly on time. After consult ing with Whitney and Supervisors Rock and Johnson. the rest of the board decided to keep the polls open until everyone had voted. Carrcto said the last person voted at 6:22, as he examined his watch for future ref ercncc. Carrcto said he objected strcnuously to allowing the polls to remain open after 6 o'clock, but the rest of the board were in favor of it and he was powcrlcss to prevent it.
 Carrcto admitted that so far as he knew there was no fragrant attempt at fraud, but said he knew there were many irregularities, among them be- ing the practice of clcctionccring within Is feet of the polls.

IRELAND OBJECTS TOEXPORTAT|ON
 OF MORE FOOD

DUBLIN, April l9.-Thc food situ ation in Ireland has provoked, from a certain section, the demand that no food shall be allowed to leave the Irish shores, and 1t has been urged that unless the government prohibit export the people should forcibly hold up the food at the Irish ports. Though this demand has not been put forward from any responsible source, it has been noticed by Thomas w. Russell, vice-prcsidcnt of the department of agriculture for Ireland, who refer rcd to it as John Alitchels old cry of hold the food"
 Mir. Russell said only an over whclming emergency could justify the risk of having their export trade destroyed. Last year Ireland, had eX- ported f46, 100000 worth of food, and to destroy that export trade would destroy the import trade as well since they could get goods into Ireland only bv paying for them with exports. There was no necessity whatever for panic There was an undoubted short dEt Ol DOldlOtS. bul ilS DlNNNAAN W Ohlh not be felt till the end of May and they could make an effort to live on without potatoes until the new crop in June and July.
 The government measures for the compulsory increase of tillagc in Ire land are proving a success. They were welcomed by the class of small tenants who in most cases arc tilling more than the 10 per cent extra re- quired by the regulations. The large graziers and owners of grass lands held out at first, but the heads of the agricultural department made 1t evi- dent that they meant to insist on their compulsory powers, and that, unless the regulations were obeycd, the land would be taken over and put under tillagc. whether the owners liked 1t or not. This has had its effect and the reluctant owners arc obcying the order to till 10 per cent more land than last year.
 The Irish Homestead, looking for ward to the end of the war and con- tinuancc of high food prices, calls for the organization of every parish m Ireland upon cooperative lines for the purchase of its raw material and also for the sale Of its products direct 10 the merchants and wholesalers in the towns. The increased cost of living he attributes largely 10 the fact that inc distributivc branch of agricul- turc had been organized in a very haphazard way. He declares that, if the work were organized, as in Dem mark, Germany, Holland and Bel gium, the people in ihc British Isles could have a food supply which would insure them against any danger of being starved out even if there were thousand submarines lying off their harbors.

 The Council For Defense

PHOENIX, April 19.-Thc first op- portunity for real action for the pro lection and benefit of the State was offered to the Arizona State Council Of Defense this morning when Gov ernor Thomas F. Campbell called to the attention of the council condi- tionS of unrest and riot in the vicinity or Gila Bend. The matter was re- ferred to the committee on military affairs, of which Captain J. C. Green way, of Warren is the chairman.
 The information on which the gov ernor acted in placing the matter be- fore the council of defense was re- ccivcd in this city from Dr. L. H. Richards, of Gila Bend. According to pr. Richards message bands of McXicans in the vicinity of Gila Bend arc committing depredations. One white man was killed, says the mes sage, and a Mexican has been threat encd with hanging because he is an American citizen.
 Gila Bend, declares the doctor, is in a very exposed position and has so far been able to get but one rife for each five members of its rife club. The citizens request that the council or defense and the governor aid them in securing additional rifles and they believe that if they can get 50 guns they will be able to patrol themselves with safety They will hold a mass meeting this evening and they have requested that the council Of defense wire them information or suggestions.
 When this information had been given to the council of defense the message and matters contained there in were referred to the committee of which Dr. Grccnway IS chairman. He declared that he would himself attend the meeting of Gila Bend citizens in that place tonight, when he will know more definitely what action can be taken for the protection and assured safety of the district His committee will take action immediately to find out what can be done and what the occasion demands.
 The meeting this morning was de- voted almost entirely to informal dis cussions of matters pertaining to the safety and welfare of the State and to the conservation and production of foodstuffs Some routine matters were taken mp and discussed briefly, additions were made to the commit tees which have already been named. definite time for the reporting of all con;mittces was set, and other similar business was transacted.
