DENIES
THAT HE WOULD
CENSURE GOV 7.
Says 1t Is An Absurdity To
Charge That His Motion To
Investigate Maurice Matter
Calls For Vote of Criticism of
Lloyd George

LONDON, May 9.-Premier AS
quith, addressing the house of COM
mons today, denied that his motion
made in response to the Maurice af-
fair was defined to obtain vote OF
censure of the British government.
saying that 1t was abusrd to describe
II as such. Asquith said IL he should
find II his duty TO censure the gov
ernment he hoped that he would have
courage to do so in a direct and un-
equovical form. Following this an
nouncement he placed a motion for
the appointment OF a select committee
to investigate the charges made by
General Maurice. In making the mo-
ton he said that it was unbusiness-
like for parliament to be constantly
inquiring into the conduct OF success
sive phases OF the war. The house
OF commons, he said, had more than
enough of such inquiries already.
Lloyd George arose TO speak regard
ing the motion amid loud cheering.
The premier stated quietly but vigor-
ously that he had been unfairly treat
ed by Maurice and Asquith as well.
1t was the business, he said, of Gen
eral Maurice, to come to the cabi-
net and there point out where minis
ters made their mistakes, instead of
airing those things constantly before
the public who had little knowledge
of the details of any war matters. The
premier closed by saying that IL the
motion as proposed carried, Asquith
would again be responsible for the
conduct of the war, the very condition
that the English people were at.
tempting to avoid, when he, the
speaker, replaced the ex.premier.

More About the Sinking of the
Vessel Which Carried Chas.
Francis Oldham, EIko Coun-

CHICAGO, May S.--A graphic
story of the torpedoing of the u. S. S.

April 20 was related today by lieu
tenant Frank Pulaski, u. S. n. r. F.,
a Chicago survivor of thu craft, a.
borad which were 81 officers and
men. &c of whom are missing.
Lieutenant Pulaski was with the
ship from the time 1t was launched in
Duluth in December, 1917, until he
was thrown into the ocean by the ex.
plosion of the German torpedo four
months later.
The Lake Moor sunk two minutes
after she was struck at 1l:2O o'clock
at night" he said. When the vessel
sank | was dragged 25 feet below the
surface of the sea by the suction.
Some one had succeeded in loosening
life raft and on coming to the sur
face | graspcd the raft. Eight 9th.
ers were aboard her, including the
captain.
Could Hear cries
"All about us we could hear cires-
pteous cries--from those who were
drowning. About a mile away, through
the murk and obscurity, we could see
the outline of the Uboat. How we
cursed those inhuman devils.
"Tho captain said:
Men, how many here are going
to square this account, II we liver"
six hearty voices-two men were
unconscious-rai acclaim:
"All of us-all of u.s."
I'VE floated about for two hours
and then II was discovered that two
OF our party were dead. We slid
their bodies off into the ocean and as
they were sucked away some one OF
us sang Nearer My God, to Thee"
The survivors were rescued some
six hours later by a Norwegian mer
chairman and taken to Glasgow

enter the service Immediately.

APPEAL SUITS TO GET BACK BOOZE AUTOS
 TAKEN UNDER LAW

Appeals by the state were filed yes terday in the supreme court in the two automobile confiscation suits brought in Pima county last summer. The titles of the cases are "The state of Arizona vs. one Paige Automobile" and "The State vs. one Dodge Auto mobile"
 These machines had been taken while being employed in bringing in toxicating liquors into the state. There was no doubt of the use to which they were being put, and their confiscation was attempted under the Marsh law passed at the special session of the legislature last May.
 The defendants attacked the law on the ground that it was unconstitu- tional in that it was not legislation named by the governor in his call for the special session. though the title of
Arizona republican., 1918-11-12

the bill described it as an act to fur ther the government in its war work.
 As the bill was originally presented and passed the house it prohibited the intrpduction of liquor within certain zones surrounding army camps and posts, though these zones were so gen. ercusly large that they practically en- braced the whole state. The bill had at least the appearance of a war meas ure, and so seemed to come within the call of the governor.
 In the senate. however, that appear ance was removed and though the title remained, the measure itself was made merely to provide for the confiscation of vehicles found anywhere in the state engaged in the transportation of in toxicating liquors.
 Judge Pattee of Pima county, before whom the cases were brought, held the law to be invalid.
 Another case filed yesterday was that of Charles A. Van der Veer and the Salt River Valley Water Users asso- citation, appellant, against Stanley Stearns, from this county.
