S[ACKERS |. ID BE LET OUT 0F JAIL
MARICOPA MOLOKAN s SENT TO HOOSE COW FOR REFUSING TO REG ISTER, WILL GET FREE DOM ON JUNE 9TH.
(From Sundays OailY)

Thirty-four Russian Molokans, the frst group of Maricopa county resi- dents convicted as slackers under the selcctivc draft act when they refused to register because of religious ob- jcctions. will be released from the Yavapai county jail June 8. These men, sentenced on Aug. 8 of last year to one years imprisonment, will gain their freedom after 10 months of servitude, the reduction of two months being granted for good be- havior.
 Six of the 24 men will be imme- diately rcarrcsted upon gaining their freedom. 1t is expected, because they have refused to fill out the question aires, as required under revised fed eral regulations The remaining 28 men have complied with the selectivc service regulations in this respect, it is stated, and as result will be granted their freedom.
 This group of men were not ellgi- bic for military service under the sc lective draft regulations. Not only were they non-citizens, but they were religious objcctors as we'll, but under the registration act. they were ob- liged to register so that government authorities could grant the proper ex- cmption. Although several efforts were made to influence the men to comply with the act, they stoutly re- fused and were arrested by federal authorities.
 During the days of their trial be- fore Judge Sawtelle in the federal court other members of this religious sect paraded the streets of Phoenix and appeared at the federal building in large numbers, singing and danc- ing as is their custom.

RESOLUTION CHILLING
 I. w. w. IS HELD UP

PHOENIX, May 23.-Stating that political capital out of the resolution dcnouncing the l. w. W., introduced by him yesterday in the senate, Sena- tor Hugh Campbell at the opening of the session this morning tcmpor- arily withdrew the resolution over the objection of several senators. who voted No" in loud voice and de- mandcd a roll call. President Clar- idgc, having ruled the resolution was withdrawn, asked ii there was an ap- peal from his ruling, and there was no response.
 Senator Campbell made no further public statement concerning his tenn porary withdrawal Of the resolution, which unanimously passed the house yesterday when it was introduced by Mrs. O'Ncill. That an effort had developed overnight to make a poli- tical steed out of an uttcrance of pa triotism became generally known throughout the capitol before the opening of the senate session this morning.
 It was generally understood that when the resolution should come up for consideration an amendment, embracing sentiments along the lines expressed in the message of the gov crnor in which he referred to the af fair of last July at Bisbec, would be offered. The withdrawal of the rcso- lution by Senator Campbell fore stalled any opportunity for such ac- ton.
 Bills providing for a State coun- ell of defense were introduced in both the senate and house. In the senate the bill was introduced by Senator Claypool, while Representa- tive Vaughn fathercd the measure in the house. The bills arc mot the same and differ in some important respects.
 The Claypool bill. which its patron explained is a tentative measure re- quiring some amendments, was intro duccd for the purpose of getting the matter before the senate and to the committee so that there will be some thing upon which to work.
 The bill provides that the council of defense shall be composed of the
 governor, attorney general. adjutant general, president oi the senate, speaker of the house and seven other members to be named by the gov crnor, none of whom shall receive compensation other than travelling and necessary expense incurred in the discharge of their duties. Ii provides for a secretary, who shall be paid a salary of S5000 per year.
 In the house Speaker Johns intro duccd a bill providing compensation for dc facto Gov. Thomas l.. Camp bell for the time Inc served and for his costs in defending the contest suit The bill stipulates a total ap- propriation Of S77S93S. of which S5,6N05 is for salary from Jan. 70 10 Dec B, and S4,12235 is for the cX- pcnscs of the contest
 Senator Claridge, president of the upper body, this afternoon intro duccd a bill appropriating Sl7, 500 to the widows of the three officers shot and killed bv Tom and John Powers and Tom SisSon several months ago. The bill provides that the widow of the late Sheriff Mcbride be given $,- 500 and the widows of Deputy Sher- ifs kempton and Wootcn each S5.O00.
 This brought out the question as 10 whether CT not the proposed bill did not enlbody legislation not in- eluded in the governors call. In re-

ply, Senator Claridgc explained that inasmuch as the three men were at tempting to arrest the Powers boys as cvaders of the draft act that the attorney general of Arizona had ruled that it properly came under the head ing of war measures.
 This precipitated a discussion as to how far astray from the governors call the senate might go in the in troduction of bills, and it was finally decided to stick to the items enum- erated therein, and stand by the con- stitution"

GERMAN DRIVE

The strength of the great German
offensive in France apparently is |
fast diminishing. On the seventh
day of the titanic battle there were
strong indications that the enemy
was feeling materially the strain he
had undergone and that his power
had been greatly impaired through
hard usage.

and also driven back across the

ing still continues of sanguinary
character on all these sectors, but
everywhere the British and French
are holding the enemy Especially
severe has been the fighting west of
Albert, where the Germans. in an
endeavor to 1ebouch westward
were repulsed by Field Marshal
