SUPERIOR COURT HEARS NUMBER OF
 CIVIL ACTIONS
Seven Cases For Divorce Are Filed. Case Tried to Set Aside Deeds. Damage Case Against Western Union

TOMBSTONE, April 27.-The en- tire day, Thursday, was occupied in the superior court trying the case of Merthana Arnet Cook, by her guardian, Emma Pratt vs. Leon F. Cook, ct al, to set aside two deeds, each conveying 160 acres executed and delivered 10 the defendants by Berthana Arnet Cook, an alleged incompetent. The evidence showed that immediately af- ter the filing of a petition in the su- perior court of Los Angeles county. Cal, for the appointment of a guardian for Berthana Arnet Cook, alleged in- competent, she d2eded the two deeds in question to the defendants, and subsequently was declared an incompe- tent by the California court, and a guardian appointed. The day after the deeds were delivered. she married Leon F. Cook, one of the defendants in California, and on her return to this state the above action was brought to annul the execution of the deeds. The court held that the judgment of the California court, declaring Berthana Arnet Cook an incompetent, was con elusive evidence as to her incompe- tency from the date of judgment. but that it was only presumative evidence from the date of filing the petition for guardianship. until the judgment was filed
 The case was tried before a jury, and it developed that the defendant Leon f. Cook had, on the same day that Berthana Arnet Cook delivered the deed to him, executed and re-de- livered the property consisting of 160 acres, back to her. The court then de clared that this deed would be sur rendered to the courts, and that her guardian would be held responsible for it. As to the second deed, the jury declared that Berthana Arnet Cook was competent at the time she de- livered to Alfred Cook, the co-defend- ant, his deed, namely, 160 acres. The jury were given special interroga- tories, and were out only about 20 minutes, when they brought in their verdict. Pruce Stephanson represent ed the plaintiff, while J. T. Kingsbury represented the defendants.

Officials Declare Economic and
Military Power Is at

WASHINGTON, Oct. 23.-The Allies are
in the best position to-day from eco
nomic. financial commercial and mill
tary standpoints OF any time since the
start OF the war in 1914. II Is said by
officials of the Government who are con-
cerned in the mobilization OF resources
The potential strength OF the Entente
Powers Is greater than at any previous
time, with the single exception of the
number OF men actually available for
military service. while the United States
is only now approaching the peak of
quantity production and delivery for
the American armies, and settling down
to a war pace.
An optimistic note was sounded also
by Chairman Baruch OF the War Indus
tries Board, who declared that peace
talk should not remove the attention of
the American people from the work of
prosecuting the war with every re-
source at their command.
The matter OF peace may be left to
the President" he said. The matter
OF war is the duty of all. Peace talk Is
affecting our output and making difficult
the diversion OF labor from non-war to
war industries. So long as We arc at
war we must think war. talk war and
make war;"

months ago were turning out non-essen-
tial commodities are now engaged In

have been transferred TO war production.
although a problem exists In removing
others who are needed. The financial
strength OF the country was manifested
In the recent Liberty Loan sale.
The production of ships at an un-
precedented rate gives promise of OPEN

One OF the hopeful aspects OF the sit

three months. Fuel In sufficient quantities
to meet needs for almost the entire win

the address Of the 97h of September and that it desires

VICTORY Is DEMANDED


WASHINGTON, Oct. %. - Despite
the apparently firm tone of the Presi-
dents reply to the German note, some
Senators of both parties made 1t plain
tonight that they were bitterly dis
appointed that the exchange with
the Berlin Government is to go on,
and that the President did not say
firmly and fatty that unconditional
surrender would have been far more
pleasing to them and to the country.
A few Democratic Senators approx
ed the note in general terms, but one
Of them went so far as to declare
that If he had been in the Presidents
place he would have told the Ger
man Government to "go to He'll"

One member of the Foreign Rela-

Presidents own party point out that
the President cannot trust the Of
ficials even with whom the note writ
ing is being carried on, and therefore
nothing could be gained by an armis-
tice concluded with the authorities
with whom the President is dealing,
| 1t had been known for hours that the
note would be made public at a late
-Four tonight and Senators and others
eagerly awaited It's contents. The
word had come to them through off,
ctal sources but altogether informally
that the note would be one of which
they would be proud"
The sentiment uppermost In their
minds, according to their expressions
however, was surprise and disappoint-
ment. Most OF them expressed the be-
lief that nothing direct could come
from the exchange of notes, while
realizing that the purpose behind the
American notes may be to stir up more
peace sentiment in the Central EN-
pires and hasten the downfall of the
autocratic powers.
Logical Climax, Says Hitchcock.
Senator Hitchcock (Neb.). Democrat
chairman OF the Committee on Foreign
Relations, said:
Il think the President has brought
to a very logical climax the CORE

much difficulty we have had in under

practically tells them that they mus

to secure terms OF peace, and as al

tention OF the old form of miltaristi,

but unconditional surrender.
