Special Liquor Agent R. G. Porter
and assistants, ]. B. Winner and w.
]. Carpenter, unearthed new meth
cd of bootlegging Friday night when
they took four young Medford men
into custody for bringing liquor into
the state.
The bootleggers' car was halted
near the Homes residence, about
three miles south of the city. A
search of the car revealed no liquor,
but the authorities were confident
that the men had liquor on their per-
sons. ]. B. Winner started to search
one young man for concealed
weapon, but the man demonstrated,
saying that Winner had no right to
search him for booze without search
warrant. The young men thought
they had found the one big way to
get away with the booze by having 1t
on their persons, but City Recorder
Winner sprung the big surprise of
their lives when he reached in his
pocket, brought forth several war
rants, filled them out and handed
them to Mr.. Porter. One young man,
seeing that the game was up, grew
pugnacious, but was quieted when he
felt pair of steel bracelets snapped
about his wrists. The four young
men were searched and booze in
every size of bottle imaginable was
found on them. They had filled their
pockets with quarts and pints. In
the tops of their shoes and cuffs of
their pants half-pint and tenth-pint
bottles were found. In their hats,
vest pockets, shirt fronts and every

ties of the wet stuff had been tucked
away.
About three gallons of liquor was
taken from the men, all of it in small
bottles Each man succeeded in de-
stroying several bottles while his
partners were being searched.
Another car was halted a short dis
tance behind the Medford car by w.
]. Carpenter. The occupants saw
Carpenter approaching, so they made
a wide .swerve close to the fence by
the roadside and stopped and await
ed his approach. When he got to
the car he could find no liquor, so he
allowed the car to pass on. AS the
second car passed the car which Por-
ter and Winner were searching Mr..
Winner noticed a nod and suspicious
sounding greeting pass between one
of the Medford men and man in the
passing car. Later Winner and Por-
ter returned to the spot where the
last car had stopped and found six
pints of whiskey, two pints of gin and
number of broken bottles which
the men had tossed over the fence
when they saw Carpenter approach

200 Local Women
Register Saturday

Returns from the registration bu-
reaus show that but 200 Ashland
women registered Saturday for auxil-
iary service in the war. The county
registration has not been ascertained
yet. Three hundred and fifty women
registered in Medford.
It is probable that the indifference
shown by the women in general VIII
cause President Wilson to issue a
proclamation requiring the women to
register. The registration officers
think that many of the women hesi-
tated to register because they thought
that at some later date they would be
called to other places for service OF
some kind.

Saturday can do so this week At tho

Golfer, beside being committeeman, was State senator from Apache coun- ty in the last session of the legislature.
 The Golfer announcement IS con- sidered by leading party Democrats here. to mean that before long, there will be big drive on within the ranks, to consolidate opposition to his boom-if, indeed, his boom is consid- cred worthy of foeman's steel after it has had time to cease echoing. It is pointed out that if Colter wants to be the Democratic nominee for gov ernor, he will have plenty of opposi- ton from his own side of the fence, let alone the line of sturdy real Dem ocrats who arc casting calculating glances at the chair In the Hunt ele- ment, will be found no less than two, who are eating the bread of patience until the time shall come for swoop around the State. They are Sydney P. Osborn, present Secretary of State, and Mulford Winsor, State senator and real brains of the Hunt admins tration and machine.
 Opposed to the radicals will be the phalanx of "Olney" Democrats, who are all of them in position to com mand some respect from party and public alike: George ]. Stoneman, chairman of the Democratic State central committee, George Nicholson, of Yuma, w. A. Mloeur, land commits sioner and perhaps the best groomcd man in Democracy, for the race.

over a new movement under headway by Messrs. Gillespie and Buell., who had taken over the Copper King group, owned by the estate of John Lawler, and were preparing to begin large operations.
 Over 100 head of mules have been shipped in from Salt River valley and the rebuilding of the old wagon road out of Hillside is going on. It is also reported that the above livestock is to be used in freighting out ores that carry a high percentage of zinc, with other metals as a by-product. The road has a length of about 30 miles and the camp is near the Bagdad hold ings, but in mineral zone distinctive from that copper. The Lawler hold ings have enjoyed an excellent rating in zinc since carly days, and in recent years have been examined and report ed on favorably by engineers.

GOLFER FAMILY WIDELY
 APART IN POLITICS
(From Sundays Daily1

The arrival in Prescott few days ago of James D. Golfer, was coinci- lent with the announcement made during the week by his son, Fred T.. Coltcr, of Springerville, that he was in the field for the Democratic nomina- ion as governor of Arizona.
 The visitor, who IS an out-and-out stand-pat Republican. a whccl-horse in days gone by of his party, dating back to 1872, in Apache county, treat ed the matter of his son. being in an other political wagon, as only an in cidcnt. He said: 'EI have always given my sons a free rein, and they can speed up or slow down at will in making the race on the political track They have had good start from mo and all arc prospcring financially. Since the faraway day they have been working in their own harness, and Frcd's ambition to pull his political cart on any track is perfectly agree able to me. l will not take any active part in the coming mixup, as it is little late for one of my devotion to the c. O. P. to get on the firing line in a new trench"
 Mir. Golfer comes from Long Beach, Cal, where he makes his home, rctir- ing from active business to enjoy life after passing his 18th milestone His physical vigor is remarkable and his intellect is as keen as that of youth. He came into Apache county from Wisconsin during 1872, when it was part of Yavapai county He is on the trail again for the old place to visit with his three sons there, and family reunion is contemplated, in which political matters arc to be sidctracked. Mir. Coltcr meets in Prescott many fellow Hassayampcrs and he is en- toying his visit, the first in many years.

A. |. BURM|STER PASSES AWAY
 YESTERDAY
DEATH OCCURS AT PAS ADENA, CAL, AFTER A SHORT ILLNESS; WAS A RESIDENT OF PRESCOTT FOR MANY YEARS.
(From Saturdays Daily)

Another popularly known old-time resident of Prescott, A. C. Burmister, has passed away, his death taking place yesterday at Pasadena, Cal, after a brief illness from typhoid fever.
 Such was the sad and surprising news contained in a telegram from Mrs. Burnister, to brother, R. H.. Burmister, of this city. The latter left later in the day to attend the funeral.
 The deceased until about two years ago made Prescott his home, and dur ing residence since 1877 had fol lowed the general merchandising business here. Particulars of his ill., ness were given in letters. He was stricken at the ranch owned by him self and D. M. Martin opposite Needles, on the Arizona side of the Colorado river during the early part of last week, and later was taken to Pasadena for treatment where his wife and family have been residing since leaving this city. His condi- ton became serious on Thursday, when his wife tclcgraphcd to this city for the brother to come. While NIT. Burmistcr was boarding the train the message of death was received.
 During a residence of 70 years in Prescott the deceased led an cxem- plary life, and his long career as a business man was characterized with scrupuious regard for honesty in all dealings, which won for him an cx- 'ccllcnt name.
 After leaving this city the deceased with his brothcr-in-law, D. NJ. Martin, entered the farming business near Needles on a very elaborate scale, the firm owning one of the largest acre ages in the State, which was devoted to cotton and alfalfa growing. This property was assuming high pro- ductive rating and the fruits of years were about to be realized when the messenger of death intcrvened. Mir. Burmistcr was born in Ohio 60 years ago, and was married in this city. A widow and three sons survive.

BOARD IS FINANCED
 PRIVATELY
UNLIKE NEW MEXICO'S COUNCIL, ARIZONA'S IS SUPPORTED BY ITS MEM BERS; BRANCHES OF THE WORK NUMEROUS.

PHOENIX, June 22.-Thc Arizona State Council of Defense is being fi- nanced entirely by private subscrip- ton. In most of the States special sessions of the legislatures have ap- propriated large sums for this work. New Mexico, for example, voted $780, 900 for the work of the State defense council. Here in Arizona the State Council of Defense is doing just as much work as in States where a mil lion dollars have been appropriated. The officers are all serving without pay, with the exception of the secrc- tary, and some of the committees are paying all of their own expenses. John H. Page, of Phoenix, has been made chairman of the finance com mittce and is receiving subscriptions to carry on the work. Governor Campbell is opposed to calling a spe. cial session of the legislature to pro- vide for financing the work of the Arizona Council of Defense as long as it can be conducted through the aid of private subscriptions, thus saving the taxpayers a large sum in expense of special session.
 Many Assist In Work.
 Many patriotic citizens arc assist ing the council of defense in the agri- cultural census. They arc giving the use of their automobiles and their time. Among those who arc assist. ing at Phoenix are McArthur Bros. and Thos. Maddock, State engineer.
 Cobb Is at Work.
 Lamar Cobb, chairman of the com mittcc on highways is al work on a large military map of the State for the defense council No such map, showing all the highways of the State. has ever been prepared and Mir. Cobbs map will be of great aid to the military authorities.

ELIGIBLE LIST IS
 MADE UP FOR DRAFT

There is one big job of work done, and County Recorder Edith Ruffner is glad of it. Sixty closely typcwrit- ten pages, it is, and it contains the names of every man between the ages of 2l and 30, inclusive, who was reg istcrcd for the sclcctivc draft in Yav- apai county on June 5 and subsc- qucntly, by the sheriff's office.
 The list is arranged alphabetically -which, in itself, was something oi a job To each name there is at tached the name of the cligiblc's home precinct The regular list runs from to 3,4l7. There are additional regis trations, which bring the total in the county up to 3,430.
 Four copies of the list have been made, one for State and one for Fed cral records, one for the press and one for the checking list for the local board of selection. There will be a list kept on file in the Recorders office for reference purposes and any person can have access to 1t during official hours.

CUR REGIMENTS PLACE
 IS AT THE FRONT
(Erom Saturdav'S DaIlY.l

Unless the First Arizona IS recruit cd 10 war strength by August 4th, the regiment will lose its identity as an Arizona unit in the national army and it's officers and men will be scattered to the four winds among the rcgi- mcnts filled by the sclectivc draft.
 The efforts to recruit men for the First Arizona have been certainly discouraging. The regiment is still short l 200 men and the prospects of getting them by August up to this time seemed very slim but big drive has been started by the Arizona Council of Defense for recruits and it is now pretty certain that Arizona will have representation by a unit bearing the States name in the new army.
 The failure of the young men of the State to respond has been due in a great measure to the belief that the regiment will be left here for police duty on the border and will not sec service in France. This IS not the case, however. The national rcgi- mcnts arc 10 be concentrated in ten great oautonmcnts and intcnsivcly trained for service with the first con tingcut of half million men to be sent to France.
 Those men, who have extensive military training. will naturally be first on the firing line and will get there long before the men chosen by the sclcctivc draft. There will be more opportunity for promotion and a better chance to win distinction in a State regiment like the First Ari- zona than in regiments filled later by the Sclcctivc draft.
 It would be lasting disgrace to the State to have it said all over the land that Arizona could not raise single regiment to represent the State in France.
