POWERS-S|SSON
 N0T IF ROAD CREW
RUMORS OF SLAYERS OF GRA- HAM OFFICERS ON STATE ROAD QUIETED-PROBAB oRIGa. MATED FROM JOKE.

Recently it was rumored in Clifton and Stafford that Tom and John Pow CTS and Tom Sisson had been offer ed to the State road authorities for work on that highway. To get at the truth of the matter County Attorney Chambers of Graham county, address ed letter to the superintendent of the State prison, who effectively puts at rest such rumor, or the probabfli- ty of these convicts ever being sent outside the prison walls.
 Some indignation had already been manifested by reason of this rumor, and it was for the purpose of ascer- taining the facts that MT. Chambers addressed Superintendent Sims.
 In reply to the Graham attorney the superintendent stated that no such action was contemplated. His letter in part follows:
 q will assure you that there is not one word of truth in the rumor that you advise me of, and cannot imagine how such a rumor could get started unless it was the outgrowth of a josh sprung by the captain and the guards while MT. Fred Farrell from the road camp was looking over the list of prospective prisoners to be taken to the road camp, at that time the captain of the guards smiled and said: "We will give him Sissons and the Powers boys" I never gave this incident second thought as my sense of humor was sufficient to un- derstand the spirit in which the re- mark was made, and furthermore not one of the three prisoners mentioned was ever brought out of the yard since they were received here, with the exception of one occasion when Sissons was brought out to move some material which only took a few minutes time, and he was accompan- jed by three guards on that occasion.
 sIn conclusion I will say, that 1t has been our policy to not allow any man serving a life sentence to come outside the gates until we have had the opportunity to understand him pretty well, and it generally takes several years to satisfy us in this line.
 Trusting this will prove to be the information that you desire, and with best wishes, am,
 Yours truly,
 'eR- B. SIMS,
 Superintendent"

TOOK SHOT AT YOUNG GIRL
 PAROlED BY PARDON BOARD

Mrs. Ernie James, whose tragic action on March % startled the in- mates of the J. c. Penny store in Bisbee, when she attempted the life of young woman in that city, has been paroled from State prison. She was arraigned in the Superior Court at Tombstone and convicted of an as- sault with deadly weapons, and on June 3rd was sentenced to the peni- tentiary for minimum term of five years. In the trial it developed that she vas living in illegitimate relations with the father of the girl whose life she is alleged to have attempted. Information comes from Bisbee that she has been paroled by the pardon board, and departed for California. She served a little over thirty days of her prison term.
 The Tombstone Prospector says of the case: According to what could be learned the pardon board made no investigation of the circumstances of the shooting and as is general in such cases, write to the judge of the su- ,perior court, but no such letters were sent this time.
 Tt seems like a travesty of justice Ito put the county to the expense of a trial of this sort and have a woman try to deceive the court and the off, cers and then be sentenced to serve only five years and have an outside board step in and pardon her in lit-
 tie over month after she had arriv-
 ed at the prison."

LAMAR COBB TO THE FORE.

Lamar Cobb has been treated by a good many people as joke as a gubernatorial candidate and many have believed that he will run some where near the tail end in the pri- maries but he has adopted plan of campaign which promises to put him in the front rank by the time the pri- mary election rolls around. MT. Cobb is using literally of advertising space in the newspapers. By this means ne is getting before the public of the en- tire state and the other candidates will soon have to look to their Iaur- els. MT. Cobb is not particular about the newspaper being for or against him. He buys the space and has his say by using opposition news papers gets before the very voter he wishes to reach.
 MT. Colter has been using the press to some extent but has confined his advertising to newspapers like Dun bars which have a limited circula. tion among his own supporters.
 They better watch out for Cobb.

A Letter from the President of the Bell Telephone Companies to his Em-
 pIoyees.
 To the employees of the Bell Tele- phone company: Under authority of the law and by the proclamation of the President, possession and control of the wire situation is passed to the Postmaster General as of August 1. In conference at which were repre- sented the Postmaster General, the Government operating committee and the representatives of the Bell com panies. The Postmaster General ex- pressed most emphatica1ly his appre- citation of the service which the Bell Companies were rendering and that such improvement possible to be made would he because of the addi- tional power derived from the govern ment. He asks for the cooperation and assistance of those who have been responsible for the service. The Postmaster General was equally em phatic in the statement of his desire to conserve the service and proper ties of the companies with a view of returning them when called upon to do so to the owners in as good con- dition as received, that it was his in- tention that the owners should re- ceive just compensation in the full sense of their use. The Postmaster General until other instructions are issued desires that the conduct and operations shall continue as hereto fore and also states that no changes will be made until after considera- tion and full and careful consideration to all of you who are identified with the Bell Companis, who have shown your fine sense of obligation and your loyalty and fidelity to the coun try, to the public service and to the property in the past and to whom the credit is due for prestage and posi- tion of the Companies in the public eye, it is asked and is not too much to ask that the same loyalty, fidelity and devotion be given to the service under the new order of things. On your behalf much loyalty, fidelity and devotion to the service has been promised, knowing full the spirit ir which you would respond to the re quest. To do ones full duty in each position is the greatest obligation resting on every person, and is also the greatest opening to future pre- ferement

COUNTIES
 IN ARIZONA LIKELY
ORANGE COUNTY TO BE GREAT ED OUT OF MARicOPA IF PRES ENT PLANS CARRY-MESA SLA TED.

Plans are under way for the ere ation of a new county in Arizona, which will give the state fifteen, in- stead of fourteen counties as at pres ent. But this proposition is not with out it's breakers, as there is consid- erable rivalry between Mesa and Chandler for the county seat. This difficulty is said to have been settled by giving the county seat to Mesa for the first five years, and then it will be switched to Chandler, which place will enjoy the emoruments incident to the establishment of the seat or government for spell.
 The proposed new county, which is to be created out of Maricopa coun- ty, will take the name of Orange, and those having the matter in hand will endeavor to have it voted upon this fall in. the general election. Senti- ment is said to be very strong for Fthe creation of the county of Orange, and if all matters are settled 1t Is likely that there will be enough votes to put the proposition over. It is said that 70 pr cent of the voters in the affected area are required to create a new county in Arizona.
 Efforts are being made to include Tempe in the new organization, but it is not thought that. this will sue Iceed, as it is too near to Phoenix. and it is believed that Tempe will elect to remain in Maricopa, in. the event that Orange county is created.
 Besides the towns of Mesa and Chandler other towns to be included in this proposed subdivision of the state are Lehi, Scotsdale. Goldfield.. Goodyear and Gilbert. e
 N has been about three years since the last effort was made to form new county, to be known as Orange. It was at that time before the state legislature and the movement was al most a success. Years ago James Goodwin, representative from Tempe. tried to get bill through for the ere ation of a new county to be known as Butte county, with Tempe as the county seat.

TAX COMMISSION HELD
 INTERESTING SESSION

MT. w. H. Moon, who attended the meeting of the Tax Commission al he Grand Canyon last week. stated that this was essentially working session of the Commission, and much good was accomplished.
 Representatives from every county n the state were there, and the buSi ness was transacted with dispatch The supervisors of the several coun ties in their reports showed consid erable increase of the property valu ations of the state.
 Besides transacting much business MT. Moon stated that the meet was one highly enjoyed by every one pres ent The delegates were rendered a dance, and taken on several excur- sions to points of interest up the canyon.
 Tn speaking of the action taken by the supervisors present on the matter of selecting fourteen names to be sent to the State Council of Defense for confirmation, MT. Moon stated that while all but two voted against the pro position, yet no final action taken on the proposition After some dis cussion the supervisors failed to see the necessity of injecting any compe. tition into naming the. County Coun- cils. By agreeing to the proposition from the State Council this compe. tition would enter into the matter, as it would mean that seven names sent in would be turned down by the state organization.
 For gaining more information a committee of three supervisors was appointed with instructions to go to Phoenix and interview the officers of the State Council to ascertain why the request was made for fourteen names to be submitted. It was the sense of tho supervisors present tha, only the required number should be named. and they believed the super visors of the several counties compe tent to name the full membership oi each County Council, without making it necessary for the State Council tc cull their recommendations.
 The matter will be finally disposed of just as soon as this committed makes it's report,

STUDENT NURSES CALLED; 25,000 VOLUNTEERS WANTED

Owing to the demand at che battle front for trained nurses, many who are graduates will be sent to the thea tre of war.
