WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY IN
FRANCE, Feb. 6.-Two american avi-
ators accompanied French escadrille
on a bombing expedition last night.
The Frenchmen dropped their bombs
and the squadron started on its re-
turn trip
At daylight an enemy squadron of
eight planes was encountered we'll
above the clouds and a general en-
gagement ensued. The Americans
each picked out an enemy machine,
and within a few minutes one Of
them, a second lieutenant, got a
stream of machine gun bullets into
the enemy. The German plane top
pied over and fell crashing towards
the earth.
The other American failed to get
his man. The French filters warmly
congratulated the young Americans,
who had only recently graduated from
the flying school, for their courage,

CHICAGO, Feb. 6.-Further search

which rests the future course Of the

Attorney John J. Healy, representing

by filing n formal motion to quash the

HOUSE CONSIDERING
ALIEN Stacker BILL
Republican A. p. Leased WireI

WASHINGTON, Feb. Cover pro-
tests Of the state department, voiced
by democratic and republican leaders,
the house began consideration today
of the alien Stacker bill, which would
make aliens of draft age subject to
the call for military service. After an
all-day debate, during which an amend
ment was adopted to provide that the
measure should not be construed as
superseding provisions of existing
treaties, final action went over until
next Wednesday.
Representative Burnett Of Alabama,
chairman of the immigration commit
tee and author of the bill, insisted upon
action so that the aliens might be
summoned in the next draft.

ports, the recall of many of the sub
marines to their bases being inter-
preted as preliminary to such a cam
paisn.
The position of the Tuscania when
she was sunk is taken to indicate that
she was bound to England. Her sink
ing definitely discloses that British
ships are being used 70 carry American
troops abroad, experimenting Ameri-
can transport tonnage. This fact has
been intimated before and PROBABLY
arises from the decision OF the SUI
preme war council to make every eff
fort to augment General PerShinS s
army during the present year.
Navy officials have insisted that
despite the most careful plans and ef-
forts to safeguard transports there
was always chance that a troop ship
would stumble upon a lurking sub
marine and the general belief tonight
was that this is what happened in this
case.
The same regulations as to life saw
ing apparatus govern the movement
of American troops on a British vessel
as would govern their passage on an
American craft. These regulations,
which are rigidly enforced, provide for
sufficient lifeboats and life raft ca
pacity for every man aboard the ship,
even if one-half of the boats are rem
dered useless through the listing OF the
ship when she is struck.

was in October, 1881, that he came to
Arizona and associated himself with
his brother in ranching near Mesa.
Together they also opened a photo
graph gallery in Mesa. Later Barnett
came to Phoenix and opened gallery
here, being associated in the business
locally with George H. Rothrock. This
business was conducted from 1882 until
1885, the year in which Mr.. Barnett
was married. The same year he re-
turned to Mesa and continued in the
photograph business there until in
1896, when he was appointed deputy
county recorder under +. W. Sheri-
dan. He served as such deputy four
year.
Elected Assessor in 1890
In 1890 he became candidate for
the office of county assessor and sue
ceeded in being elected. He held that
office for two years. when the office
was made appointive. For the next
two years he acted as night captain
of police under Marshal James H.
Kinney.
In 1894 he was elected to the office
of city assessor and tax collector, sue
ceeding w. G. Foster. Since then he
has held that office continuously, twice
succeeding himself without opposition.
When the office was made appointive
with the coming of the commission
form of government he was at once
appointed by City Manager Parish and
held it under City Manager Craig and
City Manager Thompson.
In the years he has held the office
he has seen the assessed valuation of
the city grow from between $1,000, 900
and $S,o0O,000 to upwards of $4,000, 600
as at present. The manner of handling
the affairs of the office have been
changed several times during his ten
ure. He has succeeded as few other
assessors and tax collectors in the
country in devising means of keeping
the lists of delinquents down to the
minimum until there are few cities in
the United States where there is a
less percentage Of unsolicited taxes
than in Phoenix.

Random Remarks

Spectators at the court on Thursday
gained the idea that there were MANY
things that might be done to accom-
plish justice. -Four women were
brought in to receive the judgment.of
the court. All of them had pleaded
guilty, but not one of them had Sc
cured or been given counsel before
pleading. When the cases were heard
the chief spokesman in favor of the
state was an officer of the Department
of Justice from Camp Dix, notwith-
standing the prosecuting attorney of
the county was present and was sup
posed TO know all about the cases.
Right here it may not be out of place
to recall that this official has acknow-
ledged in court that he did not know
anything about some cases presented
until waiver of indictment was pro-
duced That one of the women in
court, Thursday, was deserving of the
sentence she received there is not the
slightest doubt, but the Department
man admitted that if she had pleaded
not guilty he could not have convicted
her. In many cases long statements
are presented which show that the de-
PENDANTS have admitted their guilt,
but there is nothing to indicate that
they were given the usual warning
that what they said would be used
against them. The men in the cases
are not produced but are allowed to go
free. The reason for this is given that
it is desired to build up an army and
to punish the guilty men would soon
decrease the number of men SO that
there would not be any army. This is
SO, but it only emphasizes the old say
ing ut is the woman who pays"
We are,not defending this class of
They deserve to be pun
ished and it is for the good of the COM
and the country that efforts
are made to put them where they can
not do harm. The point that was to
be touched upon at the outset was that
every person committed to Jail for mis-
demeanor should be given the benefit
of legal advice before being allowed to
plead. OF the many who sign waivers
of indictment it is safe to say that at
least one half of them are ignorant of
what they are doing. AS an instance
of this it may be related how three
women who were fin court Thursday
pleaded not guilty. After awhile one
Of the county detectives had talk
with them and there was a change.
What he said is not known, but they
all suddenly changed their plea to
guilty. An attempt was made at re-
cent session of the legislature to have a
law passed which would compel
county to provide counsel for all per-
sons sent to jail, and that should now
be statutory provision. AS it is, ,:pris-
oners are talked to and told what may
occur if they plead guilty and what
will happen if they do not, and the ac-
Fused, terrified and helpless, are will
ing to do anything.
