TWO OUT IF THREE FREED UPON CHARGE
 UT KILLING WOMAN

The killing of Mrs. Mary Josephine Bates, wife of Captain Bates. on April 12, 1916, will be only one third avenged. For that crime Joseph l.. Wiley an active democratic politician; Thomas Johns and Ramon Salazar had been found guilty of murder in the second degree The supreme court yesterday affirmed the judgment as to Johns, but ordered it dismissed as to Wiley and Salazar.
 The facts in the case are that on that night a drunken prostitute tele- phoned the sheriffs office at Tucson that she had been beaten and robbed at Pastime Park of 5000 worth of iewelry and asked that an officer be sent. It later transpired that there had been no robbery. The sheriff sent two of his deputies, Wiley and Johns, who took with them Salazar, police man. In the vicinity of the park they overlook Captain Bates and wife, who were returning to their home, north of the park. The officers called upon them to stop. but the machine in which they were riding made so much noise that they did not hear and a fus- illade of shots was fired at their auto mobile. One of the shots killed Mrs. Bates.
 The defendants all disaYowed shoot ing at the occupants of the car. Johns and Salazar said -tlat they were shoot ing to puncture the tire and Wiley said that he shot in the air. The court in someway found that it was Johns whose shot was fatal and that he should be punished The conduct of Wiley and Salazar was regarded as reprehensible, but the court found that it did not constitute a conspiracy with Johns to commit homicide.
 In the case of the Arizona Eastern, appellant against the county of Gra- ham, attacking the levy for the $500,- 900 state school fund. the judgment of the lower court was affirmed MT Justice Ross though joining in the judgment dissented from the opinion written by Justice Cunningham, who overruled one of the two contentious of the appellant that the levy was illegal, in thas it exceeded ten per cent increase of the levy over that of the previous year.
 The judgment of the county court of Graham county convicting Harold Stover of the crime of introducing liquor was affirmed. The appellant could not deny possession of tho liquor but he said he had not intro duced but had purchased it within tho

WAR REVIEW
 OF THE DAY
Republican A. p. Leased Wirel

Germany has suddenly found herself involved in d maze of difficulties on the eastern front and is in danger of los ing all the large benefits she Was calm ly preparing to realize from her peace with the Ukraine and the BolsheVlk withdrawal of Russia from the war.
 Poland, that land which so frequently in the course of history has proved d thorn in the side of military conquer DTS, is threatening to constitute herself the rock on which the German hope of peace and gainful expansion in the east may be shattered Embittered by the tearing off of a strip of their ter ritory to be given the Ukraine for breaking away from the Bolsheviki and signing a peace with the Central pow CTS, the Poles are in what appears to be virtually a state of revolt. ~
 Even the very weapon which Ger many and Austria were at such pains to forge in the hope of deriving mili- tary benefit-the Polish army-bids fair to be turned against them. Reports in the German newspapers, which eX- pres diSmaw and alarm over the Polish situation, indicate that the Polish le- gions, now an effective military force, are on the siGe of the prevalent Polsh sentiment of bitterness against the central powers. The situation has grown so serious that the military arc patrolling the streets in Warsaw.
 Austria Hungary is particularly in volved in the difficulties because of ! the prominent part which it was eX- | pected she would play in the future l government Of Poland. The Polish ele- ments and those sympathizing with | them in the dual monarchy are up ir arms over :he situation and further in- | ternal troubles are threatened.
 Turning to the north it already has resuming military operations against | Northern Russia and this report gains l color by the announcement that tho l commissions representing the Centra | Powers at Petrograd have left the Rus sian capital and passed within the Ger man military lines. The probable Ger man purpose to attack the Bolshevi5 | is also indicated in d Vienna dispatch

TEUTON|C FORCES
 STRONG IN WEST
Republican A. p. Leased wirel

WASHINGTON. Feb. 16.-An official dispatch today said the strength of the Teutonic armies on the Italian front Is sufficient to permit the central powers to undertake offensive opera uons simultaneously on the entire western front from the North sea to the Adriatic and prevent the allies from transferring troops from one part of the front to the other.
 After the failure of their attacks against the Italian Nelbella positions. the dispatch said, the Austrians are repairing and consolidating their lines. The Teutons maintain unaltered their forces on the Asiaso plateau and around Mount Grappa, but several Ger man battaliOns have been withdrawn and Hungarian troops substituted.

LONDON, Feb. 16.-General Sir Wfl- liam Robertson, chief or the British i'm perial staff, has resigned, it was of fically announced this evening. Gen eral Wilson, sub chief of staff, takes the vacated place.
 The inference to be drawn from the British official statement regarding General Robertson's resignation seems clearly to be that the supreme war council has been given the powers which its name implies and that it will be in fact the directing head of all the allied military operations.
 There have been many rumors re- gently that General Robertson was to retire as chief of the British staff and be replaced by Major General Sir Hen " Hughes Wilson, the sub-chief of staff and British military represent atives on the supreme war council. The suggestion was, however. that should this chage be made General Robertson could change places with General Wilson, becoming the British military member of the Versailles council
 The official announcement of ths change says:
 The extension of the functions of the permanent military representative decided on by the supreme war council at their last meeting at Versailles has necessitated the limitation of the spe- cial powers hitherto exercised by the { chief of the imperial general staff by virtue of the order in council of Janu- ary :, 1916.
 Tn these circumstances the govern ment thought it right 10 offer General Sir William Robertson the choice of becoming the military representative on the supreme war council at Yer 1 sailles or continuing as chief of the imperial general staff under new con- | ditions.
 | General Sir William Robertson, for | reasons which will be explained in 8 l statement which will be made by the { prime minister in the house of com mons as early as possible in the com | ing week. did not see his way to ac- i cept either position, and the govern ment has, with much regret, accepted 1 his resignation.
 General Sir Henry Wilson has ac-
 cepted the position of chef of the i'm
 perial general staff. The appointment
 of the British permanent represent ative at Versailles will be announced

 WASHINGTON. Feb. 16.-Efforts by the government to end the strikes of carpenters in eastern shipyards brought two important developments today which officials declared promise to affect an early settlement.
 President Wilson prepared to take some action in the situation, the na- ture of which has not be disclosed, and the shipbuilding labor adjustment board handed down q. wage award GOV ering Delaware river and Maryland shpyards which will form the basis of a general eastern shipbuilding wage scale.
 The president is expected to express definite views on the situation in reply to a telegram he received tonight from William l.. Hutcheson, president of the Brotherhood of Carpenters and Join CTS, asking an opportunity personally 10 put the situation before him. Other developments in connection with the strikes during the day were:
 Indications that the heads of other unions will not support Hutchesons position, and assurances from New York metal workers that they will con- tinue work awaiting an adjustment by the wage adjustment board.
 A statement by the shipping board that no effort will be made to coerCe the strikers by threatening to call them into the military service.
 A declaration by Chairman Fletcher of the senate commerce committee in vestigating shipping, that the govern ment should take over the operation of all shipyards and fix a general wage scale.
 A request by the shipyards that hey ha tg.I |, e.ft-f1- s,. their own way.
 Hutcheson's refusal to leave a set .lement to the labor adjustment board hrew from officials of the board to- night the statement that the carpen- ters organization alone of all the trades engaged in shipbuilding, has de- "lned to let it adjust difficulties.
 Federation Does Not Approve
 Officers of the American Federation of Labor, it was declared have little sympathy with Hutcheson's attitude and are likely to repudiate him. Or ganizations of the carpenters on the Pacific and Gulf coasts and along the South Atlantic, despite orders from Hutcheson are leaving to the adjust- ment board, it's members said tonight, all questions affecting their relations with their employers.
 ' awards establishes q uniform wage scale and working conditions in 60 per cent of the Atlantic coast yards It gives carpenters a minimum wage of s5.60 a day, and the striking Balti- more carpenters. although not parties to the agreement, will be permitted to accept it's provisions if they so desire The award will be used as a basis for arranging other agreements.
 The new scale is not as high as the Pacific coast scale. Carpenters under it's provisions will be paid one dollai less q day. It makes no provision fol bonus pay. Employers will be required in certain instances to pay the trans portation of the workmen.
 The award provides for a Saturday half holiday time and a half pay fol ordinary overtime and double pay fol Sundays and holidays. Men employed on night shifts will draw five per cen

 Whipple Barracks at Prescott, AriZ., has been selected by the medical de- partment as a site for the establish ment of a sanatorium for the treat ment of soldiers suffering from tuber- culosis.
 This information was received by The Republican last night by the As sociated Press which stated that in ad- ditien to the sanatorium to be estab- lished at Whipple Barracks, others were to be constructed for the sama purpose at New Haven. Conn.,, Ashe- vile, N. C.. and Denver, Colo.
 It is understood, tl.e dispatch states. that these sanatoriums are to cost about s550,000 each. The announcement by the medical department gave no indi- cation as to when work would be started.
 Was Suggested by MT. Campbell
 The selection of Whipple Barracks as a site for a sanatOrium for the treatment of soldiers of the national and regular armies brings to a sue cessful conclusion the movement start ed some few months ago by Governor Thomas F.. Campbell who conceived the plan of inducing the government To make such a use of the barracks ar Prescott which for several years have been abandoned by trops and in the hands of a caretaker and who brought it to the attention of the government.
 Whipple Barracks lie two miles north of Prescott, the line vr the santa Fe, Prescott and Phoenix railroad running through the reservation. These bar racks are intimately connected with the history of Arizona, having been constructed in 1864 and were the head quarters of General Crook during his Indian campaign in thIs state. The barracks consist of several mas sive stone barracks and more than d | dozen handsome and substantial of | ficers' quarters. A station and post office were located on the grounds The last troops to occupy the barracks were removed about eight years ago. since which time the grounds and l buildings have been ill the charge of q. l caretaker.
