FRAY MAY BE NEW
 HUNS DISCOVERY
Century Magazine)

Well, my belief is that the Ger mans have made an extraordinary discovery. I have called it the E. ray. You know that the ether is merely an hypothesis; we have to suppose it is there to account for the passage of the Marconi current from one place to another.
 Now, suppose that there is a physic ether as we'll as a material ether, suppose that it is possible to direct irresistible impulses toward murder or suicide; then you have an explanation of events that have hap pened in Melrion for the last few weeks. And it is quite clear to my mind that the horses and the other creatures have been exposed to this Z-ray, and that it has produced on them the effect of terror, with ferocity as the result of terror. Now, what do you say to that?s Telepathy, you know, is well established so Is hyponotic suggestion. Now don't you feel that putting telepathy and sug- gestion together, as it were. you have more than the elements of what I call the Z-ray. I feel that I have more to go on in making my hypothe- sis than the inventor of the steam engine had in making his hypothesis when he saw the lid of the kettle hobbing up and down. What do you say?"

.ONE IN F|vE |S l. QU0TA0N BONDS

G. K. Weeks. campaign manager for the third Liberty loan in the twelfth federal reserve district, said fast night:
 Many patriotic citizens subscribed in the second loan for more bonds than they could possibly pay for and have resold the surplus bonds in the market at discount. The effect of such ac- tion is distinctly harmful, as it tends to unnecessarily depress the market price of our government bonds. Some mer- chants have undertaken to accept Lib erty Loan Bonds in payment for goods sold or to insist on their acceptance by wholesalers with whom they deal. in part payment of goods purchased. The harmful effect of this practice has been pointed out by the secretary of the treasury. Many holders of small de- nomination bonds have been induced by scalpers to part with them at figures so far under their market value as to amount to palpable fraud.
 These harmful practices, however, have been the eXception-not the rule. 1t is little short of marvellous that the rank and file of our people. who had been entirely unfamiliar with bond in- vestment, should have been aroused in the First and Second Liberty Loan campaigns to subscribe for the loans of unprecedented size which were distrib- uted. Profiting by the education gained in these previous campaigns, and with the far better developed organization, the Liberty Loan workers in the Third Campaign will undoubtedly create among subscribers clearer conception of the real character and functions of government bonds They will empha- size the necessity of subscription to the bonds by individuals who will pay for them by the exercise of thrift and self sacrifice and will hold them for the du- ration of the war. If this principle of distribution is fully brought home to our people the evils of the scalpng of these bonds for merchandise and their unnecessary resale at discount will automatically disappear, or at least be materially reduced.
 The national government has set a mark of 15,000.000 subscribers to the third Liberty loan. This means one subscription out of every seven of the population. In twelfth district ouI slogan will be one subscriber in every five of population"

.REQU|S|T|ON|NC |. OF WHAT MAY bE
 DUNE APRIL ID

Following the appeal issued by Her- bert Hoover to Arizona farmers q short time ago, asking them to market their 1917 wheat at the earliest possi- ble date, the federal food administra- tiontion for Arizona was empowered today to requisition all wheat held by farmers.
 In fairness to those still holding wheat it was announced that a few days would be given to allow the re- moval of the grain from the farms or private warehouses to the mills and public warehouses;. April 10 was set as the date after which the food ad- ministration will begin the requisition- ing of hoarded stocks for the govern ment. All wheat stored with the mills or in public warehouses should be mar keted before this date.
 This measure is being adopted, it was explained, because of the urgent necessity of filling the demands of the allies and to aid plans for the appor- ! tionment of the wheat supply for home consumption.
 The holding of wheat at this time of vital need is nothing short of boarding a food commodity which is sorely needed, maintains the food administra- ton, and for this reason it is asking as a patriotic movement that all per- sons holding wheat place it on the market before April 10
 It is pointed out that any raise in price which may be established by congress will not affect the price paid for 1917 wheat, which is subject to the old rate. Hence there is no reason fol holding the old crop wheat for an ad- vance.
 In telegram received today full au- thority to requisition is given, together with detailed instructions as to how to proceed in cases of this kind
 The food administration is confident that better wheat prices to Arizona growers will be secured for the 191t crop through the establishment of { wheat terminal in this state.

INVESTIGATION |SPROM|SED IN
 WA[DROP CASE

A second tar and feather victim to tell his story to the attorney general in as many days appeared before Wiley E. Jones at his office in this city yester- day.
 William Waldrop, who arrived in Phoenix on Thursday night from Je- rome, related his experiences of last Tuesday night when, he declared, he was seized on the streets of Jerome, taken to near Cottonwood where his clothing was removed and a coat of tar and feathers applied to his body.
 That the Waldrop affair is to be the subject of an investigation, was the statement of the attorney general yes terday afternoon after his conference with the man from Jerome.
 We are awaiting further evidence in regard to the Waldrop natter" said MT. Jones yesterday. T am not cer- tain yet how many different offenses were committed, but it is certain that they will all be investigated.'
 The attorney general has stated that special grand juries will be called in Yavapai and Cochise counties. Nothing was made public of the conference with Waldrop yesterday.
 Waldrop, who arrived in Phoenix on Thursday night from Jerome, was still in the city last night.

 FROM HEARING

Amos A. Betts, member of the state corporation commission, has returned from Los Angeles where he attended the hearing before the federal court of the application of B. F. Baker for an interlocutory injunction prohibiting the corporation commission from enforc- ing the pooling provision of stock sell ing permits.
 The federal court denied the applica- ton for an injunction. thus upholding the provision of the Arizona corpora tion commission that promotion stock of corporations that have received stock selling permits from the com mission must be pooled with the com mission until the company is financed.

GIVEN AS
 MOST PROBABLE
 CAUSE OF DEATH

That W. B. McArthur. 'died of septic pneumonia most likely super induced by a blow on the jaw from the hand of Marvin Dills,' was the verdict of a jury in Coroner Wheeler's court where the inquest was held yes terday afternoon.
 Witnesses called to the stand testi- fled that young bills. against whom a formal charge of murder has been placed and who is out on bail, was in | toxicated the night that he fractured the jaws of McArthur.
 They told practically the story that appeared exclusively in Thursdays is sue of The Republican. In turn they recited the dance hall incident when young bills appeared to seek out the flcor manager. They testified that as 1 he approached McArthur he pointed to | his jaw with teh statement See that chin? I'm going to turn it clear around"
 The boy is alleged to have acted wildly throughout the evening and the fact that McArthur remonstrated with him infuriated Buck" bills.
 McArthur suffered greatly from the blow and complications made his con- dition serious from the first although at one time he was able to leave the hospital. It was two weeks from the 1 time he was assaulted that he passed I away.
 | McArthur who was a man of 55 years was employed in the office of the Holmes -Wooten company at Tolleson MT. Holmes, who was present at the inquest, stated that he was a person of irreproachable character and had never been in any trouble. He ex- pressed a high regard for the man whc came to his death when he was in his prime.
 McArthur has a wife and three grown daughters in Los Angeles, none of his relatives being here for the in- quest.
 Those who served on the coroner's | jury were Stevan Murcer, J. R. Clark c. R. Benetzke, H. B. Eaton. o. II Lock and M L. Stewart.
