Connecticut's Official Body Passes a Strong Resolution
 Against NonessentiaI Industry.
TO OPPOSE SUCH WITH
 ALL FORCE AVAILABLE.
Is Ready in Case of Any Conflict Of Interest to Give Preference to Those Enterprises Which Are Essential to Nations Wartime Needs-Agricul- ture Is Chased by Council as Es- sentiaI.

The Connecticut State Council of Defense, in a resolution passed recent ly, set forth clearly it's stand in the use of men, money and materials in Connecticut during the war as def- nitely discouraging non-essential in- dustry or use of capital and skill and declared itself to be ready, in case of any conflict of interest between es- sential and non-essential industry, to give preference to those enterprises which are essential to the nations war needs.
 The council will view with disfa- vor" and if necessary twill oppose with all the powers" it can command | further diversion of capital or labor to purposes not essential to the prose- cution of the war, the resolution says.
 The resolution adopted is state ment of principle by the council. The matter of administration of industrial affairs under the statements made is not taken up. The text of the resolu- tion follows:
 RESOLVED. That the State Council of Defense considers 1t wise to set forth plainly its position In relation to enter prises and undertakings within the state not essential in the prosecution of the war or the furnishing of the necessaries of life or the maintenance of public in terests. That position Is follows:
 1. That Connecticut is mainly a mu- milton producing state, and carries an exceptionally heavy responsibility for that work.
 2. That the power of Connecticut in | men, munitions, material and farms 1 must be turned mainly toward such pro- duction, which, of course, includes food supplies.
 g. That in case of conflict of interest between essential and -essentia businesses, the council will give prefer
 ence to the essential businesses, anC
 therefore recommends that those now engaged in on-essential work give care
 full consideration to the possibilities O diverting their capital, plant, or skill tt
 the production of essentials.
 disfavor, and if need be. will oppose witt all the powers available, the furthe diversion in this state of capital. labor TOT resources needed for war work, int 5 lines which are non-essential, whethe they be manufacturing, commercial O r agricultural, and whether such furthe
 diversion be in the nature of new under ! takings or the extension of existing en > | terpriSeS.
 The position above set forth is sub Y stantially also the position of the federa i government expressly stated by tn f Council of National Defense.

URGES NATION WIDE
 SERIES 0F RALLIES
 LIKE CONNECTICUT'S
About 200 Meetings Held and More Than 32,000 People Hear War Message From Corps of Selected Speakers.

The Connecticut State Council of Defense has sent to the Council of Ma tional Defense at Washington a recom- mendation that the latter take steps to inaugurate throughout the country series of war rallies patterned after the state wide rallies which are in progress in Connecticut. This action was taken after report had been re- ceived by the state council of the sue cess with which about POO rallies have been conducted in six of the eight counties of Connecticut. Plans are under way for rallies to be held in Hartford and Fairfield counties after the holidays.
 The object of the war rallies has been to bring home to the people of every community the facts and lessons of the world conflict and create will to win the war" spirit. So far only the smaller communities have been reached. After the campaign in Hart ford and Fairfield counties have been completed war rallies will be held in all the larger cities, at which special efforts will be made to reach all the community and neighborhood groups within the cities. A corps of selected speakers have been used at the rallies and at most of them there has been music by Liberty choruses. The ral- lies have been arranged by Harrison B. Freeman of Hartford.
 Over 15O rallies have been held, In addition to meetings arranged by the state board of education, at which de- fense council speakers have been heard. At these 150 rallies there has been a total estimated attendance of over 32,OO0, large number in view of the fact that most of the meetings were held in small villages and towns where an audience of 5O or 100 Is con- sidered exceptional. Many of the ral- lies also have been cancelled or ham, pered by the recent heavy snows.

zALESKI HELD UPON EXPLOSIVE
 CHARGE
MAN HAD SEVERAL POUNDS OF DYNAMITE FOR WHICH HE HAD OBTAINED NO LICENSE FROM FEDERAL GOV EMINENT, IsiTHE CHARGE


 Charged with having in his posses sion approximately fifteen pounds of dynamite without having a federal li- cense for ownership or use of eXplos- ives, Joe Zaleski, @ resident of the Hereford section, was brought before United States Commissioner J. D. Fay lar. Zaleski waived preliminary hear ing and was bound over to await ac- tion by the next federal grand jury. He was arrested by United States DepTty Marshal Jimmy" Mcdonald. His bonds was set by Judge Taylor at $500. This he furnished and was given his liberty.
 It was Zaleski's claim that he had owned the dynamite for a consider able period, having bought it for pros pecting purposes, He claimed not to that it was necessary to obtain a fed eral license.
 The arrest brings out a new point, as it is stated ny Mcdonald that even though one has had explosives for a considerable period, license for pos, session must be obtained from the fed eral government.
 Zaleski is an American citizen but a native O. Russia, having been natur- alized several years ago.

 Needless to say the change was Lot the success hoped for The audience consisted of between seventy-five and 100 persons and they, being upon plea sure bent. were so inattentive that the candidate cut short his speech.

SLIM SMITH FALLS TO DEATH DOWN
 MINE SHAFT
BODY OF WELL KNOWN MAN DIS COVERED ON SMALL PLATFORM IN SHAFT OF ABANDONED PORTAGE LAKE MINE NEAR WARREN BY SCHOOL BOYS

Had a small boy not played hockey from school yesterday. friends of w. E. ~Slim" Smith, a cow man and miner. aged 35 years. pos sibly might not have missed him for some time. The curiosity of the boy when he saw Smiths horse tied up near the Portage Lake mine, an abapd- Oned shaft about a mile from the Country club. led him to investigate. He saw the body of Smith lying on a platform about eighty feet below the surface. Aid was summoned and the body recovered. Smiths neck had been broken by the fall.
 Coroner Winters of Lowell, who was notified. empanelled a jury which viewed the body at the mine. An in quest will be held some time today, probably this morning about 10:9O o'clock.
 Friends of Smith are convinced that his death was a result of accident. Re- gently he had bought several lines of pipe which extend down the several hundred feet of the old shaft. He had a block and tackle rigged over a tein- porary platform over the mouth of the shaft. Evidence of his having been at work pulling up the pipe was to he seen in the form of several lengths lying on the ground near the shaft Presumably he was pulling other pipe up when his foot slipped and he fell about eighty feet to where timbers, caving into the shaft, had formed a sort of platform nearly blocking the fall of anything from the surface to the stump. several hundred feet further down. Smith had worked for stock men in this section for fourteen years. His mother. living in Texas, survives him. The body is at the Palace morgue

TUCSON. Aug. 5.-Amanda Cour- tesy. whose true name was Amanda Courtesy Montgomery, who took a so- lution of twenty-four tablets of bich- loride of mercury tablets at the United States immigration station dententiOn quarters Thursday evening. died Sat urday afternoon at 5:45 oslock at St. Mary's hospital.
 The woman was being held at the U. s. ]. s. detention quarters pend ing her trial before the U. s. dis trict court on the charge of perjury in connection with the trial of Frank Whit on the charge of violating the Mann act in transporting Miss Cour- tesy, alias Mrs. Montgomery, from Arizona to New Mexico.
 When she repudiated the testimony that she had given before a United States commissioner and exonerat ted Whit, a jury in the federal court acquitted Whit, and now the lips which the government charges lied in order to protect Whit, are tor ever closed in death
 But Whit still stands charged with attempting to influence a witness in the first trial of the white slave" case against him. That witness was the woman who died yesterday, and it remains to be seen whether the government will press the charge against Whit
 Amanda Courtesy is the second suicide in connection with the gov ernment's prosecution of Whit. for shortly after Whit was acquitted his lawyer. Thomas B. Hart, was found dead on the Bisbee-Donglas Whighway under circumstances which were strongly indicative of suicide. Department of justice officers were investigating the charges that Hart was guilty of subOrlatiOn of perjury in connection with the trial of Whit.
 Before her death the woman gave her name as Amanda Courtesy Mont gomery, the daughter of James Mont gomery, of Dexter. Missouri. where she also has a sister. The sister was notified last exening of the wOmsn's death by the Reilly Undertaking com pany, which has charge of the remains and the completion of funeral arrange ments await word from her.
 She also has a step-father, Frank Browning, of New Mexico. He was notified when the woman attempted suicide and he replied that if she re- covered he would pay S100 on her doctors bill but that if she died he you'd not pay anything on her funeral expenses.
 Amanda Courtesy Montgomery was 25 years of age and had been in Ari- zona three years. The circumstances of her marriage to Montgomery are not known here. Her death had been expected since she took poison Thursday evening, and yesterday the United States attorneys office was notified by County Physiciai' lGotthelf that the woman could not re- cover and that the end was nos far away.
 Whether or not she made a state ment to the United States attorneys office regarding the charge against Whit is not known.

COMEDY OF BORDER IS ENACTED WITH
 SOLDIERS
SEVEN MExIcANs, MEMBERS OF THE NEW GARRISON FOR AeUA PRlETA. SEIZED BY coLoREo TROOPS THIS SIDE LINE, NOW IN DOUGLAS GUARD HOUSE

The arrest and detention near Naco of seven Mexieans. supposedly ammu- milton smugglers, chrOnicled few
 days ago by the Review, turns out 70 be another comedy of the border. me
 men have been shown to have been members of a company of fifty Mex ican soldiers, sent by general P. Elias
 Gales from Southern Sonora to gar rison Agua Prieta. The men passed through here enroute to Douglas.
 The Douglas international says: Another border comedy was enact ed yesterday, when seven harmless
 Mexican soldiers who had been seized
 the afternon before by a guard or the Tenth cavalry at Naeo were marched all the way to Douglas.
 After being held here all night, the
 Mexican soldiers were this morning taken before Brig. Gen. Cabell, com mander of the Arizona district, where Capt Roberto Lopez of the Mexican army contingent at Agua Prieta iden- tified them. General Cabell. it is un- derstood, recommended their release 10 the commander O. the southern de7 partment at Fort Sam Houston, and the men will be sent to Agua Prieta, as soon as authorization is received from the southern department. In their bare feet with only rough san dals to protect the sales and carefully guarded by the big colored troopers the soldiers attracted much attention here. They seemed a little daZed from the effect of their first visit to the United States, which has been strenuous though brief. Many rumors were circulated, one being that they had deserted to supply ammunition to a revolutionary faction.
 A brief investigation in which Gen eral Cabell was assisted by Acting Mexican Consul Valdes served to show that the soldiers were a part of a band of fifty who for some reason not yet explained had been sent from Hermo- sillo to Agua Prieta by General Gales.
 Leaving the train at Naco, the com pany was ordered to marchso over land to Agua Prieta, distance of about 27 miles. Seven of them, said to be from Sinaloa and unfamiliar with this coun- try, wandered off the right road and strayed to this side of the line near Naco, where they were promptly seized by the colored troopers. The latter were not sure whether they had capI tured rebels or desperadoes. Perhaps the Mexican soldiers had hoped to de- sert
 At any rate the troopers took them in charge under orders to bring them here for investigation. The seven were started on the road yesterday At noon they had reached Warren with thier guns spiked and the troopers riding behind on horse back, the seven Mexicans made the last lap of their roundabout hike to Agua Prieto in the hot afternoon sun. This made a total of 35 miles from Naco and the Mexicans were footsore and weary when they finally dragged in here at s o'clock last night. There are now fifty soldiers in Agua Prieta, the first who have been there in a year or more.

Friends of the young women known before their marriage as Mis- Helen Collins, Miss Norine Munro, Miss Mae Haynie, and Miss Marion Leadbetter are wondering if the commercial course aYthe high school is a prepara- tion for war, as the school board plan ned, or for matrimOny. All four girls were taking the course last year and all have been married. but maybe their knowledge Of stenography. type writing and commercial arithmetic will prove useful in married life.

There has been considerable dis cussion about the weather during the past few days and much complaint about the heat. Friday of last week was the warmest day of the summer, according to the government thermom- eter on the Copper Queen office build ing, and which is looked after by the engineering department of that com pany. The record on that date was 9S degrees. Thursday was 97 and there has been one or two other days dur ing this summer when that figure was reached. The weather in Bisbee nas been cool this summer on comparison to other summers and places in the state this summer.
