VALUE OF SPANISH
 IN SCHOOLS OF U. s.

Accepting as conclusive the general resolution to exclude from the schools the teaching of the German language it would seem the part of wisdom to substitute another and more attractive tongue. This is Spanish, spoken by millions of close neighbors and the na- tive speech of the residents of our island possessions. Even now, with the Teutonic competitor excluded, strong efforts are being made by bank CTS and tradesmen to obtain for the United States the commerce of South America. The great war has operated to turn these peoples away from Ger many and toward this country, once unjustly suspected of an ambition to dominate the entire Western Hemi- sphere politically.
 To carry on business with them and to be in a position to exchange the treasures of art and literature as friends. it is almost an imperative necessity that their speech be ac- quired. The time to begin acquiring it is now. and not later. From the head of the national government. the initial and energizing impulse should be giv- en by proclamation calling upon the directors of education in all the states to take up and forward the work of installation of the teaching machinery. in this worthy labor, no doubt valu- able CO., operation would cheerfully be offered by the various South American governments

MILL WORKERS NOT
 ENTITLED ID BONUS
Republican A. P. Leased Wire1

WASHINGTON, July 26.-Paper
 mill workers are not entitled to the ten
 per cent bonus allowed by the Inter-
 national Paper company before the
 war labor boards wage award became effective. T. N. Guerin and c. A. CrOcker, composing a section of the
 board. ruled today in Interpreting the award.
 A controversy over the payment of the bonus resulted in walkout at several factories this week, curtailing the production of news print by 75 per cent. An appeal to the war labor board to interpret the award which was made yesterday was referred to Mir. Crocker and MT. Guerin, who after considering briefs submitted by both | employers and the men. held the bonus was a voluntary contribution" on the part of the employers.
 "The workmen are not entitled to the bonus in addition to the wage award by the war labor board" MT. Guerin and MT. Crocker decided, "un- l less the employers desire to do it as a ! voluntary act as was done prior to this dispute arising
 The employers,Sit was held, are mor- ally bound to pay the bonus for May and June because the notice originally granting it said the bonus would con- | tinue until the men were informed of
 the discontinuance. It was also held
 that the shortening of the work day
 from nine to eight hours was not to
 permit any reduction in wages.

YELLOW DOG CLUB 0F BOYS WILL BE
 FORMED IN STATE

Phoenix is to have a Yellow Dog" club all of it's very own. Those who read the recent story by Henry Irving Dodge do not need to have this eX- plained to them but for those who did not it is noly fair to state that in the tale the writer ras his boy characters enlist in the cause of loyalty by picking out the yellow dogs of the commu- nity who, perhap unconsciously, spread stories against the interest of the United States in this war.
 Joe Rickard, best known as Art Rick, has been delegated as head or ganizer for the yellow dog club. He is, as it were, a sort of Chief Canine
 for the state and with characteristic energy he is going after the idea. He is planning to invite all boys interested to his theaters where he will explain the idea and plan, appoint them un- official detectives to watch for sedi- tion and be-badge them as is fitting for officers thus entrusted. The date for the formal launching of the or ganizaton will be announced later. The idea is that any man or woman who helps to spread news to the detri- ment of this nation is a yellow dog and the boys are supposed to keep tab on all such yarns and to try and run | them down. When they hear some | man or woman saying that the United
 States should not be in this war they
 may know that they have encountered
 8 real yellow dog" and when they
 find some man gleefully spreading
 news of an American disaster which has not taken place they can be pretty
 sure they have another of the same type.

ANNOUNCE DECISION
 0V ROAD TUESDAY

DENVER, July 26.-The state public utilities commission announced late this afternoon that it would render a decision at 10 o'clock next Tuesday on whether the commission had juris- diction on the question of suspending the operation and later junling of the Colorado Midland railroad. The hear ing of the case which has been before the commission for two days was de- voted exclusively to the question of jurisdiction.
 The attorneys for the receiver for the road appointed by the district court of Fl Paso county at Colorado Springs at the time that the order for suspension was made. contended that the district court in taking action first had exclusive jurisdiction.
 The lawyers representing those who oppose the abandonment of the road asserted that the commission had au- thority and that before a road could cease operation it must have the con- sent of that body.
 In taking the question of jurisdic- ton under advisement the commission also announced that it would ask to appear before the district court of Fl Paso county next Monday and explain what the commission believes to be its rights and duties in the matter in an cndeavor to secure a modification of inc court order heretofore made, to the end that all parties and interests con- cerned might appear before the com mission and present such testimony as ihey desire.

PRISONER PRESTO
 END LIFE BY DIVE
 AGAINST JAIL BARS

As climax to a period of mental depression extending back a week. w.. F. Case, being held by the federal au- thorities on a charge of white slavery. attempted to commit suicide at the county jail last night by plunging against the bars of cell. Dr. w. C. Ellis was summoned. He said that there was danger of concussion of the brain developing and pronounced Case in very serious condition.
 Case, according to the statements of several of the inmates of the jail has been walking up and down in the jail for several hours and acting strangely. frequently weeping and complaining of his ill fortune.
 He waited last night until other in- mates of the jail had retired and then. the inmates say. went to the cell room containing the bath tub. The next they heard were several criess and then three loud knocks and then several groans.
 The inmates signaled by raps on the bars for the night jailer. Charles Mus grove. Musgrove found Case uncon- scious upon the floor of the jail. with blood coming from three sashes in the | head, just above the forehead. Case was removed to the corridor of the | jail, where he was attended some 20 minutes later by Dr. Ellis At an early l hour this morning he had not regained consciousness.
 From the appearances of the patients head. when examined by Dr. Ellis. he plunged at least 10 feet striking his head with terrible force. Surprise was expressed that his skull was not frac- tured. His condition otherwise. how ever. indicates that .ASre might be a concussion develop later.
 Case was arrested July 16 by Mus grove two miles east of Glendale and rlaced in jail on charge of disturbing the peace. The arrest was made at Cases camp. near the road, his camp consisting of two wagons, three horses and an outfit of tools and farming iiG- plements. With him at the time was q woman. Musgrove said last night ie found Case in possession of a quantity of patent medicine containing alcohol. and he appeared to be somewhat under the influence of the mixture.
 A short time after he had been placed in jail the woman went to the sheriff's office and charged that Case had brought her into Arizona from California without being married to her.
 In consequence Case was arraigned before United States Commissioner Henke on a charge of violating the Mann act and held for the federal grand jury which will deliberate at Prescott next month.
 Inmates of the jail said last night that Case had a religious tendency and would frequently weep and then lapse into long periods of silence

TIME WILL TELL"
 MEXICAN ATTITUDE

MEXICO CITY. July 26.-(By The Associated Press).-"Time will tell" was the sole comment made by Presi- dent Carranza today in answer to a statement that many times during the recent trip of Mexican journalists through the United States the question had been raised as to the Mexican governments attitude in the world war.
 According to the Mexican journal ists' account of an interview with the president, General Carranza asserted that his government has maintained the ''purest honor in international re- lations, disproving the malevolent in situations of a certain part of the American press, previous official statements have denied unqualfiedly that the Mexican governments an- nounced strict neutrality was tinged with pro- -Germanism.
 Regarding the often projected plan for American loans to relieve the money stringency. which had been the chief effect of the world war on Mex ico, President Carranza said there had been long standing offers by American interests to make loans to Mexico but that these loans had been held up as result of the Mexican government s unwillingness to accept paper money as substitute for gold, which the government wanted. but which the world wide embargo against the ex- portation of gold prevented Mexico l from receiving.

GERMANS HORRIBLY
 AFRAID IF TANKS

WITH THE BRITISH ARMY IN FRANCE, July 26.-(By the Associated Press) )-Tanks blazed the trail for and co-operated with the French infantry in it's recent ground gaining assault north of Montdidier. By hurling the enemy west of the Avre river from the high ground between Morisel and Mont didier into the valley on & front of more than two miles, withdrawal from other positions was compelled. The French somewhat relieved the pres sure on Amiens and captured ground which gives excellent observation. While the French infantry had no great amount of experience with tanks. the cooperation was perfect.
 Out of the early morning storm the great numbering monsters suddenly ap- peared before the German Outposts. They promptly proceeded to crush the machine gun nests and then to chas and run to earth stray enemy groups.
 The Germans had perfect horror of the tanks, according to prisoners. They rolled flat enemy machine gun posts and anti-tank guns, which were rather freely scattered, sent bullets into the enemy front lines.
 During the engagement two of these forts on wheels were slowed up by artillery fire from hostile batteries above the Avre river and the crews emerged, set up machine guns in the open and reaped harvest of bosches in conjunction with the French in- fantry.
 The engagement concluded, the vic torious French swarmed about the tanks and there were mutual congratu- lations all around. The tanks came back decorated with French flags which had been placed on them by 2 French general on behalf of himself and his men.

FELIX FRANKFURTER
 DENIES STATEMENT
 MOONEY WAS GUILTY
Republican A. p. Leased Wire1


 WASHINGTON, July 25.-FeliX Frankfurter, chairman of the war la board. today telegraphed to Governor. Stephens of California. a denial that, while acting as secretary of President Wilson's mediation commission. he ex- pressed an opinion that Thomas J. Mooney was guilty of the San Fran cisco preparedness day bomb plot, for which Mooney now is under death sen- -cnce.
 The telegram follows:
 News association here reports fil- ing of affidavit with you by District Attorney Fickert, which, in effect, at tributes to me a statement indicating belief in Moneys guilt and urging executive action in Moneys behalf solely in order to placate radical opinion here and abroad.
 An allegation made by any one as to any expression of belief in Moneys guilt is wholly false. I never directly or indirectly by implication or sug geston. expressed an opinion in re- gard to Moneys guilt or innocence. Innumerable occasions said that neither had an opinion or was entitled 70 have an opinion on the merits as to Moneys guilt or innocence. l never had one and do not have such an opin- ion at this time.
 Not to Judge Mooney.
 "The sole task of the presidents mediation commission in Investigating the Mooney case was not to pass upon his guilt or his innocence, but to con- slider whether the circumstances which developed after Moneys conviction were such as to impair the full confi- dcnce ordinarily to be accorded to a tury's verdict. The president's media ton commission, as you know. reached tho same conclusion on this narrow is sue as that reached by the attorney general of the state of California and inc judge before whom the case was tried. The reason that the federal gov prnment was involved was because the circumstances of the case widely at tracted attention both in this country and among the people of the allies and therefore became a matter of nation wide and international concern. All this has been set forth with unequivo- cal clearness by the report of the presidents mediation commission to the president on January 16. That report est forth the findings which the con- mission reached and in all the find ings it set forth the reasons why the commission was charged with making tnc inquiry ana tne DdslS or US recom- mendation, Any opinion or belief out side of the report itself attributed to me or the commission has no founda- = ton whatever.
 Loath to Believe Report.
 'l cannot believe that district at- torney who is a judicial officer acting under one of the most solemn oaths imposed upon any official should will ingly or recklessly charge others with facts which he must know to be un- true. Therefore, I am loath to believe that report which the eastern press attributes to District Attorney Picker is true, but l burden you with this telegram of denial in order to avoid even the most remote possibility of misunderstanding. I have taken the liberty of giving this telegram to the press associations"

 Mir Ferguson asked vindication charging he had been removed by po- liticaI trickery. His opponents argued that victory for Ferguson might re- suit in the election of a republican in November. The fact of Ferguson's inn peachment, it was argued, would pre- vent his being seated even should he obtain majority of the votes cast. Governor Hobby appeared before the voters as win the war" candidate.
