 BOUND 0VER ID !. HIGHER COURT

Declaring that he would make a clean breast of the affair and throw himself on the mercy of the court Dan O'Connor admitted yesterday that he was at least technically at fault for the part he played in attempting to secure a referendum on the mini mum wage law for women.
 O'Connor was brought to Phoenix from California where he was ar rested on a perjury charge in Oln- nection with the referendum activity and, contrary to expectations, he did not fight extradition. He had been advised to do so by friends, he said, had considered it but gave up the idea. He was arraigned in the East Precinct justice court, where his pre- iminary hearing is scheduled for Wednesday morning at 10 o'clock. He was unable to furnish the s1,000 bail placed by the court.
 The specific charge of perjury against him is for signing an affi- davit that he had personally wit messed the signatures, when in fact. he had left the blank petitions with various business houses to be cir fulated by them. He regards his of fense merely as technical error. and according to his statement, as such. it is regarded by the county attorney.
 He insists that the charge was brought against him to "clean up public opinion" and to uphold the referendum law in the state"

 General Cadorna, who was sue cessful leader in Italy's war against Turkey, is commander -in-chief of all the Italian armies. General Roberto l Brusati, however, is the active leader of the present Italian offensive. Generals Cadorna and Brusati and King Emmanuel hold frequent con- ferences, at which military plans are worked out. Since Russia's great slump Italy's task has been much harder than ever before, the bulk of the great Austro- Hungarian army : n~w being pitted against the Italians.
