District Attorney SmiSer Announces in Court He Not Qualified
 to Appear.
BOARD IS GIVEN TIME
Court InStruCtS Members of CanVaSSing Board to Make Answer
 on Tuesday

This afternoon Judge R. W. Jen- nings continued the hearing over the contest as to the Delegate eleC- ton until Tuesday afternoon at 2 o'clock.
 The hearing was postponed at the request of District Attorney James A. Smiser, who appeared and stated that since he had been requested to appear for the board, he had found that he was unqualified to do so.
 This afternoon was the time when the canvassing board was to appear and show cause why it should not be permanently re. strained from counting the votes of the protested precincts and de- claring James Wickersham winner of the Delegate election, and why it should not be mandamused to is- sue a certificate of election to Chas, A. Sulzer.
 MT. Smiser then stated that he had been requested to appear, but since found that he was disquali- fled. He stated that he merely ap- peared at the request of the board to ask for continuance until next Wednesday, to allow time for them to secure an attorney,
 Judge Jennings stated that he was not disposed to grant any con- tinuance of the matter, but would allow the board until Tuesday af- ternoon to secure an attorney and make its showing.
 The Empire fails to find the ex- istence of any feeling on the part of any considerable number of the peo- pie, whether Democrats or Republl. cans, over the circumstances that the legal questions involved in the returns from certain precincts where official ballots were not used have been taken to the United States District Court for decision. As far as can be discovered, public opinion has concluded that such was the proper method of procedure. That procedure was invited by the major fly of the members of the canVassing board at the time they made their decision. People understand that there was division among the mem bers of the board-one Of the mem bers voting to exclude returns from

ALLIANCE WAS OFFERED.


 Amsterdam, March 3.-A Berlin dispatch says that the semi-ofiicial German News Agency carried to !hc newspapers throughout Germany a statement frankly admitting Ger many's part in the affair against the United States. The German minister in Mexico was told that if the United States declared war he should at once offer an alli- ance to the Mexican government. The German minister was express ly instructed to take no action un- less certain that the United States would declare war.
 TREACHERY ALLEGED.
 The German News Agency ex- pressed surprises that the informa- ton had fallen into the hands of the American government and charged that treachery was com- mitted on German territory.
 Zimmerman is quoted as saying: T fail to see how such a plot is inspired by unfriendlineS on our part. It would mean nothing but that ws would use means, univer- sally admitted in war, in case htat the United States declared war"
 Minister Zimmerman based his charges that the United States had attempted to line up other neutrals against Germany, on a statement printed in the Argentine newspaper La PreSna.
 La Presna," he said, charged that the United States last year suggested common action against Germany to the South American republics"
 He further quoted from remarks made by Edward Price, an Ameri- ,au newspaper man, to the effect that the United States was remain ing neutral only because she could further the interests of the Entente allies better by remaining neutral chan by declaring war.

Activities on the Arizona Revenue during the past week have been most noticeable on the Echo claims of the property where Superintendent Morse has opened up vast quantity of high grade copper ore. The deposit is said to be similar to that on the adjoining claims of the Swansea property where approximately $1S,0OO,00O worth of ore is blocked out above the 400-foot level
 Negotiations are under way to open Arizona Revenue offices in New York. It is expected that a considerable amount of Eastern capital will be put into the development of the property within the next two or three months. The company is preparing to ship ore, the first cars will probably start to the smelter this. week.
 Joseph s. Morgan and Fred Fett- gather of Dubuque, Iowa, principal owners of the Yuma Chief mine have been here for the past ten days. It is expected an additional force will be put to work on the property within a few days as exceptionally good ore values have been disclosed. MT. Fett- gather will probably assume active charge of the work.
 Among other properties being rap idly developed are the Arizona-McGin- his, the Argus, and twenty claims of the recently organized Standard Cop per company. Work on the latter is being pushed by Tom Carrigan, who, with T. ! Sweeney. Texas capital ist, is heavily interested.

 The board of the newly confirmed register was mailed to Washington yesterday. As is customary, he will probably take office the nearest first of the month after his bond has been received and filed by the general land office in the national capital.
 John J. Birdno, who has been land officer all alone since the death of Thomas F. Weedin last summer, and who has not been out of the office single business day in that period, is extremely glad that the vacancy has been filled. The law prescribes that either the register or the receiver must be in the office each working day CT the office must be closed.

James Le Valle, a union picket, then turned the weapon upon himself in an attempt to commit suicide. Le Valle's right lung was pierced, but attending physicians report that the man is in no serious danger barring possible complications Frank is not expected to live from hour to hour.
 The shooting occurred on the Mi ami bridge, adjoining the Chicago res taurant, shortly after o'clock. Le Valle or Le Belle as he was also known, was leaning against the rail ing of the structure, it is said, talk ing with Jack Rhodes and w. H. Thompson, a member of the Culin- ary Workers Union. Without warn ing Frank is said to have rushed out of the cafe and opened fire on the
 group.
 Such attention as was possible un- der the circumstances was admins tered Frank, who, with his victim,
 was then transferred to the Miami Inspiration hospital.
 The trouble commenced when the union card was taken from Frank S establishment yesterday morning. Ac- cording to the information given out st the Culinary Workers headquar- ters last evening, the proprietor had not lived up to his agreement with reference to certain stipulations rela-
 tive to the hiring of dishwashers. As the organization had encountered a number of difficulties prior to this difference, it was decided to declare the place unfair.
 This had been done and Le Valle, dishwasher by occupation, install ed as a picket.
