MvRDERERS MAY BE RELEASED ON BAIL
 IS RULING OF COURT
Abolition of Capital Punish ment Leaves Cases Bailable Is Opinion Handed Down by Justice Cunningham.

PHOENIX, Feb. 2S.-Murder is now 2 crime for which bail may be accept ed in the state of Arizona. It is no longer possible to hold a man charg- ed with any degree of murder in jail without bond. The old rule which has been in vogue in the state for half a century. which causes a man charged with the killing of another, to be jail ed and held in close confinement until he has been either acquitted or con victed. has been declared null and void by the supreme court of the state.
 In an opinion handed down Monday written by Chief Justice Franklin and roncurred in by Justices Cunningham and Ross, in the case of convicted hootlegger asking for bail pending his 1UUeal 70 the supreme court, it has Seen inferred by the court that the abolishment of the death penalty has so acted to wipe out any reason why an accused man should not be admit ted to bail. In other words there be- ing no offenses punishable by death. there can be no offenses for which hail can be refused.
 The decision admits that the ques- tion of giving bail is a matter of dis erection on the part of the court, but it goes a little farther and states the unconstitutional amendment relating to the abolishment Of the death pen atty has materially modified the old law

COLODNY'S DISCHARGE
 UPHELD BY SENATORS

PHOENIX, Feb. 2S.-The senate committee on education had a final hearing Tuesday on the case of I. Col odny, who appeared before the com mittee several weeks ago to protest against the manner Of his discharge from an. instructorship in the Univer sity of Arizona. The opposite of the controversy was represented yester- day by a university regent, Frank H. Hereford, who spent an hour or more in careful presentation of the side of the schools governing body. This is understanding that the committee is convinced that the regents acted with discretion and for the best in terests of the university, with a de- sire to accomplish what they did with the least degree of reflection upon any one concerned. Entirely outside of local sources, it is learned that there Is an error in a popular understanding 10 the enect that Colondy. as an ex- ponent Of certain school of sociology went to the Tucson institution in any way sponsored by Governor Hunt or os his. representative. The appoint ment lay wholly with President Von klein-Smid.

MYSTERY PLAY TO BE
 ON BOARD AT EAGLE
The Sign of the Poppy, a Bluebird Feature, One Day
 Only at the Eagle.

Bluebird will present a mystery play in The Sign of the Poppy" at the Eagle theatre today only, with Hobart Henley playing the dual role Of Chang and Alvin Marston. The mystery need not be fully exposed in an outline of the story. for interest in the photOplay would be propcrtionate- ly lessened. Suffice it to say that Chang and Alvin are twins; that Chang was stolen when an infant and raised as a Chinaman, with hatred of the name Marston instilled within him. When, in later years, the older Mars ton is murdered and Alvin marries. the bride and groom are persecuted in mysterious ways. Crime results and in the long run the guilty ones meet just fate. and thus the story is permit ted to end happily. For those who like their love stories mixed with sen sationalism and adventure. The Sign Of the Poppy, weird in mystery and gripping in its interest, will be con sidered the best of all Biuebirds.

Such 2 proposal as Germany instructed her minister to make the last two years l 5f the operations of German agents "t alone in Mexico, but all through "entral America and the West Indies ar based on fact There is now no doubt whatever that the proposed all
 liance with Mexico was known to l high Mexican officials who are dis i tinguished for their anti-Americanism Among them are Rafael Zubaran, CarranZa's minister to Germany and Luis Cabrera. CarranZa's minister of ] finance.
 Mexico Would Stop Oil It is apparent that the proposal had taken definite form when Zubaran re- turned to Mexico City from Berlin re- gently. His return from his foreign post was covered by the fact that Carranza had called in many of his diplomats for conferences" Some time before that, Cabrera while still 7t Atlantic City in the conferences of the American-M Mexican joint cOmmis- sion, had suggested in a guarded way to a member of the American section that he regretted that the commission had not succeeded fully in settling the difficulties between Mexico and the United States for, he said. he had hoped it might continue its work and make peace for the world.
 When pressed for some details of how the commission could restore world peace, Cabrera suggested that the American republics controlled the destiny of the war by controlling large part of it's supplies. Mexico. he intimated. might do her part by cut ting off exports of oil. The American commissioners dismissed his ideas as visionary.
 Mexicans Want War
 Almost coincident with Zubaran's return from Germany, Cabrera return ed to Mexico City, open in his expres- sions of anti-Americanism. Zubaran. before being sent abroad. had repre- sented General Carranza here while the Niagara mediation conferences were proceeding and was no less avowedly anti-American than Cabre- "a.

 Japan Believed Ready
 There was an intimation that Ger many's astounding proposal that Jap an turn traitor 10 her allies had been answered by TokiO.
 Count von BernstOrff's connection with the plot. further than serving as the channel Of communication. is intensified by the fact that the Ger man embassy here was not merely the medium of delivering d message in this instance. but was really q sort of headquarters for all the German missions in Central and South Ameri- ca.

Cap tain von Papen. whose recall was forced by the state department be cause of their military activities in this country also were accredited to Mexico and between the outbreak of the war and their departure from this country, made at least one visit there
 U-Boat Base in Mexico
 For months many naval officers here have believed that the mysteri- ous German sea raiders of South At lantic must have found a base some where on the Mexican coast and that such a base could not be maintained without the knowledge and consent of Mexican officials. Last November the British charge at Mexico City pre- scented to the Carranza foreign office a notification that if it was discover ed that Mexican neutrality had thus been violated, the allies would take drastic measures" to prevent a con tinuance of that situation
 In a note almost insolent in tone, Foreign Minister Aguilar replied to the charge that, in effect, it Was the business of the allies to keep German submarines out of western waters. and that if they were not kept out Mexico would adopt whatever course the circumstances might commend.
