By A ssociated Press.

WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan. 7.- Evidence of the care which the Ger man government is taking to direct public opinion and decieve not only their enemies but their own people, is contained in a series of secret in. structions issued to the German press by the censorship, which have fallen into the hands of the state depart ment. The instructions cover a per- iod of less than three months of last year, but tell very complete story of how the Teutonic war lords con- trol public opinion.
 The owners of newspapers and magazines are generally not only limited as to the character of articles which are printed, but in many cases are told what they should publish, and in what terms. Labor distur. bances, food shortages and difficult ies in securing and distributing coal are placed under ban, but newspa- pers are urged to give prominence to enemy losses and to certain prescrib- cd interpretations of international

CAMPBELL ATTORNEYS FILE
 MOTION FOR A RE-HEARINC
Errors i,, Courts Ruling Seating Hunt, Particularly ir1 Reference to Notorious
 DOuqlas No. Precinct Pointed Out

1t is significant that there was nc prosecution in Douglas No. l. The contcstee, if given an opportunity, will prove that the attention of the
 United States district attorney was
 called to the illegality of the election board of Douglas No. l, and that a copy of the record in relation to this
 precinct was sent 10 the district at,
 torncy of Cochise county at the re- quest of the assistant district attor-
 ney, and that of every offer of assist
 ance was given for prosecution. l The court erred when it stated that
 the canvassing board of Coconino county rcconvened within the legal 6 days and canvasseG returns of Camp 10 precinct The record shows that it was Is days before the canvassing was done Appellee will contend that
 Camp 10 precinct is exactly parallel to Wilgus precinct in not being can vassed by the election board within the legal time limit.
 In reference to this point, it may be said that Wilgus precinct was thrown out by the Supreme court, but both precincts were counted ln by the lower court.
 The brief goes on to say that the court erred in dcflecting g votes from Campbell, counted by the lower court on ballots in which the cross had been placed in front of, instead of after, Campbell's name. The contcn- ton in the brief is that there were only Is of such ballots
 Court erred in stating that there was not "a scintilla of evidence, out side of the ballots themselves" in Douglas No. l. Appellee cites that incontcstable evidence of Depu, Sheriff Cross, president of the cleo ton board, Pickett, night sergeant c. NJ. Moore, all democrats, and Re- publican watcher Redlin. It is point, ed out further, that the Supreme court, itself, describes the 80 ballots of Douglas No. as mutilated, which | in itself, would make them illegal and deny their being counted under the election laws.
 The Supreme court is in error in not considering the distinguishing marks on ballots because of its req son that the integrity of the ballots had not been proven, nor is it shown that these distinguishing marks were made by the voters themselves. Ii this ruling were carried out to its logical conclusion, the marks of the voters themselves are equally un- proven and susceptible of recount.

O|L LAND LEASE BILL PASSED
 BY SENATE
WALSH-PITMAN MEASURE PROVIDING FOR RENT ING OF MINERAL LANDS PASSES UPPER HOUSE AFTER FOUR YEARS.
By Associated Press.

WASHINGTON, D. C.. Jan. 7.- The Walsh Pittman oil and coal land leas.n- bill passed the senate today by . N0.c C. v to B It now goes to the house, after pending in the sen ate for four years. Its passage was made possible by the agreement to eliminate the naval oil reserves.
 As finally passed, the bill provides for the general leasing of coal, phos- phate, oil, gas and sodium lands by the Secretary of the Interior, with royalties to be paid to the govern ment. and for the purchase of lands by the lesees under certain condi- tions. The principal fight was over the sections which Senator Pittman said he had inserted as a protection against monopolies. These provided that no person, association or cor poration shall be permitted to hold leases with an area greater than 2,500 acres. No lesee shall own more than one-tenth of a transportation or re- lining company.

mcnt against appellee. contrary to law which gives the appellee the right to exhaust every possible resource with new trial before the Supreme court can reverse the lower court and give an original decision.
 This lost point simply means that the attorneys for Campbell contend that the case should have gone back to the lower court.
 According to legal procedure, counsel for Campbell must furnish, coincident with their filing of the motion with the court, copies of the motion to counsel for Gov Hunt. The latter has five days within which to file an answer to the motion. The court may then indicate that it will hear arguments on the motion or it may dispose of the motion without hearing arguments.

CHICAGO, Jan. 7.-Twenty-four hours after the abatement of the un- prccedented Sunday blizzard, Chicago streets are still badly impeded Traf- fic for the most part is confined to paths made by the street cars thru the canyons of snow. By offering bonuses, the city obtained 1000 labor CTS fo- street cleaning, but little progress was made No mail trains arrived and passenger trains were from one to eight hours late No freight trains moved, and only one dcliverey of mail was made.

 Telephone and telegraph service was hampercd seriously and for hours Chicago was completely cut off from communication with many large cities. There telephone and tele- graph companies also were crippled by a shortage of operators, few of whom were able to obtain transpor- tation to their work. Several big business firms are keeping their em- ployees in downtown hotels until street car service becomes normal.

 WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan. 7- The profits of many coal operators in the middle west were materially increased by the coal price-fixing by the government, the senate com mittce was told today by Clifford Thorne, who said that he had made an exhaustive study of the situation. Much of the shortage of coal was at tributed by Thorne to the excessive shipments to the northwest, the temptation of the operators to hold it for higher prices, the greatly in creased consumption, the interfer- ence with distribution and the made quate car supply. Relief. the witness said. would be possible only through government operation or the pur- chase of the entire output.

GREAT AUDIENCES

 AT TW() NEtTINGS
M or e Than 5,0C0 Hear
 Evangelist in Stirring
 Sermons Sunday.

More than 5000 people heard Rev. George T. Stephens deliver two ad- dresses at the tabernacle Sunday one in the afternoon and the other in the evening-and at the evening ser vice 35 persons made profession of faith ln Christ, and expressed deter mlnaton to live according to His teachings
 A feature of tho night service was a talk by Doe" Walls of Hot Springs, a state game warden, who was con- verted at the recent meeting conducted in Hot Springs by Rev. Stephens. Mir.
 Walls said that he had believed that ''all sky pilots were grafters," but af- ter hearing MT. Stephens he had alt cred his opinion, and that he now believes in the Divinity of Christ and that enc must have faith in Christ if he is to be saved.
 At the afternoon meeting MT. Stephens spoke on "The Second Com ing of Christ" and cited the Bible to prove that "It is an absolute certain ltv that He will come again." saying that Christ Himself said: "Let not your heart be troubled" thus promis- ino that He will return to earth. "Some of the signs are coming tc pass" said MT. Stephens.
 "In these latter days men have become lovers of themselves, lovers of pleasure rather than of God, and nations will not keep their word. We are cursed with the sin of codness, the deadliest sin in existence today. War times are awful times in which we drift, carried away with the sweep of worldliness. Apostacy and occul- tism are over America today. Pro phecy is coming true, for We have wars and rumors of wars. God help Us to help our government in these days of sorrow and bloodshed. An other sign is that pestilence is raging and this is day of awful sights and awful deeds. God save us from a blind optimism.
 ''But when He comes, these trcl'- bles will be ever. There will be no more backache then, no more weari- ness. sickness or pain. We will be married to Christ.
 "Yet when the children of God are snatched up into heaven, hell will break loose among those who are left on earth, and the anti-Christ will set up his reign.
 "For those who have kept the faith, there will be no fear at His second coming, and thousands Of thes are rapidly praying that His coming will not longer be delayed.'
 Rev. ". J. E. Cox presided at the afternoon meeting, at which MT. Stephens was introduced by W. w. 1 Taylor. Mrs. Stephens was presented to the audience. and said that Pine Bluff offered many inducements for her to take up residence here The singing was in charge of Prof. H. F. SaXton, leading the musical pro- gram at the service being conducted at the First Christian church by Rev. A.
