COURTS CAN'T DECIDE
ROAD BUILDING MATERIAL

AS Attorney-General E. T. England
has given his opinion that when a
county votes on bond issue for
permanent roads to be constructed of
a certain kind of material it is not
the province OF the county court to
have the road constructed of anoth-
er material.
The question rose in Lincoln county
where the bonds issued were not suf-
ficient with which to pay for the roads
proposed when built of stipulated
material.

HEAD OF OUR STATE
coRNWELL ISSUES LETTER RE.
GARDING THE PROPOSED
LAW
WORK OF ENROLMENT WILL
i BE UNDER SUPERVISION
OF STATE
CHIEF EXECUTIVE OF WEST
VIRGINIA CLEARLY OUT
LINES BILL

CHARLESTON. w. Va, May q
For the information of everyone in
regard to the requirements and the
manner OF enrolment under the Sc
lective CONSUMPTION bill, Governor
Cornwell has addressed an open let
ter to the people of West Virginia.
The letter in part follows:
'Inasmueh as requests for informa-
ton relative to the enrolment and
CONSUMPTION of men are coming to
my office in huch numbers and as
the bill has now passed both houses
of congress, l regard it as desirable
that the public have all the informa-
ton possible as to the plan which
will be pursued.
THE federal authorities propose to
delegate this work to the state au
thorities. The President will issue
proclamation naming day when
all the men in the respective voting
precincts within the age limits, pro-
vided in the law. and in the procla-
nation. will be required to present
themselves at the usual voting plac-
es for enrolment Failure to do so
win subject themselves to arrest and
severe penalties. The sheriff's of the
respective counties are required to.
make the arrests.
'The regularly appointed regis
trars will be delegated to act as en-
rolling officers The enrolment
! cards. and the registration certifi,
Gates, will be sent directly from
Washington to the sheriffs of the
counties. and the registrars must OBJ
tain them from the sheriff before the
day named by the President in his
proclamation as the day of enroll
ment.
In each county there will be Gre
ated a board of military censors and
enrolment, composed of the sheriff,
the county clerk, a physician. and
one citizen of the dominant political
party. This board will supervise the
enrolment and eliminate from the
list those who will be excluded I'M
der the law and the Presidents pro-
clamation because of physical inabil
ity. or for the other reasons set
forth in the act of congress. When
the time comes to call certain num-
Der, the local board will draw the
numbers needed from the list by lot,
just as a jury is drawn.
"One or two things l wish to en-
plastic:
'F'irst-The men, registrars, sher-
ifs, and others, who are called upon
to perform this work are being call
ed into the service of the state and
nation in a time of war. They can
not be excused from service. and cor
respondence to that end will be use
less.
1Second-The young men who are
to be enrolled will understand that
while, in a sense. they are volunteer
ing for service when they present
themselves for enrolment, only such
of them as may hereafter may be
drawn, will be actually called to the
colors; that to seek to evade enroll
ment will not only brand them in
their communities, but will subject
them to severe pains and penalties.
''Third-That this work must be
done with the utmost speed, accur-
acy,, and with absolute fairness"

BOOZE IS CAPTURED
And Incidentally Three Boot
leggers Making the
Run to Globe

Sheriff Mcbride left the court
house, about 800 last night, and
was crossing Fourth Street West,
when a passing Jeffrey Six drew
his attention. The car seemed
heavily loaded and the three men
occupants looked suspicious.
The sheriff commandeered a
passing jitney and made record
tine to Constable Lancaster's
home. where the constable jump
ed into the car and they proceed
ed to overtake the Jeffrey Six,
which was on its way to Globe.
They finally came up to the
Jeffrey in Fairview about $3.50
o'clock, after a narrow escape
from a breakdown near Pima
depot, which resulted in the loss
of one light. The three men in
the Jeffrey got suspicious and
started to turn their car, but the
road was too narrow to make it
successfully, and when Sheriff
Mcbride fired a shot under the
car, the men jumped out, leav-
ing their guns in the car, and
started to make their getaway,
but the officers quickly rounded
them up and placed them under
arrest.
With their prisoners in the
captured car, the officers returned
to the court house, where the
men were placed in cells and the
car examined, disclosing about
twenty cases of whiskey in pints.
The bottles had been taken out
of the cases and laid fiat in the
car and were covered with quilts.
At the prevailing price for boot
leg whiskey, $4.00 per pint, the
car contained 100000 worth of
wet goods.
The men gave their names as
follows: d. Pollock, Arthur
Grip Bennett and Newly Mol
arino, and said they lived in
Globe.
They told the officers they got
the booze in Lordsburg and left
Duncan early yesterday morning.
They struck a high center on the
road, breaking the gas tank, re-
sulting in gasoline leaking out.
They cached the whiskey, and
after borrowing gasoline from a
passing auto, came here in the
afternoon and made repairs and
got a supply of gas, and went
back for the whiskey. 8
They went thru town about
500 o'clock and would have got
thru alrightif the sheriff had not
got next to them passing the
court house.
