Morgan, the members of the firm which recently represented Stephens son Bud. who was tried and convict ed for inc same murder out of which the charges against the father grew.
 The petition alleged that because of a prejudice against the defendant. he could not secure fair and impartial trial in Navapai county. Had Judge Sweeney not seen fiji to grant the petition. the counsel for Stephens could have compelled the court to grant the change by securing 2 pcti- tion signed by two per cent Of inc voters in the county, and as the mat Ter would not have been settled until the day upon which the case had been called for trial and after inc jurymen had been called in,Judgc Sweeney be- licvcd that ii would be inc correct thing to grant the petition without putting the county 10 any more eX- pensc in connection with the cele- brated homicide action.
 Stephens is to be tried as princ'- pal in the killing of Robert F.. Mil Ter in Prescott on April ?, 1918. The State alleges that the defendant, while not actually charged with fir ing the fatal shots, was sufficiently involved in the case to warrant his trial on a murder charge. The son Bud. who shot Miller to death. was convicted here on July 10th after the jury had been in retirement less than 2O minutes

GOOD MOVEMENT TO
 BRING BACK THE RANGE

Raneemen of this section will be

Maxwell, the forage expert of he Department of Agriculture, and he introducing of new range feed for his locality is to be undertaken.
 Dr. Pardee stated yesterday the rip ,proved satisfactory and he will again begin at once experimenting on iis farm near Prescott with certain lative growths.
 "There are certain localities in this ,ection' he said which are in a de )leted state for growing range food. md it is the belief of Mir. Maxwell hat by transplanting the mountain 9rticle m this lower elevation grazing conditions can be restored. 1 have brought back sufficient plants to make a fair test, and propose to de- -ote about five acres to this purpose. Each product has been specially de-
 eloped by the forest service on the Nogollon ranges by Mir. Maxwell and from my observations success has been attained. I will try out the black sporobalus. a grass growth, which. is the earliest as we'll as the latest in maturing, being practically an evergreen. It has the spreading habit of the Bermuda grass and at .ains the height of blue grass. 1 will also plant the American shad salt bush. one of the best growers. The mountain lutine is another native food brought back, and it also will go through the growing test with the rountain or sweet sage. All of the above have been brought to high state of propagating by the federal service, and each should thrive in this or a lower elevation. will give Ill a thorough test and I feel confi- lent of results as also does Mir.

STEPHENS LOSES LAST CHANCE ID

JUDGE JOHN ]. SWEENEY REFUSES TO ALLOW SLAYER OF MILLER TO LEAVE CELL PENDING HIGH COURT RULING.
From Wednesdav's Dailv.)

Bud Stephens. the youth convicted here several weeks ago on charge of slavirg Robert Miller m this city, yesterday, through his attorneys, OSullivan & Morgan, made another unsuccessful attempt to secure his re- lease from the Navapai county jail, Iudee Sweeney having once more ovcrrulcd the youth's petition which sought his freedom on bond until such time as the State supreme court could pass upon the validity of7Iis trial ia fine Superior court in this city.
 The attorneys representing the boy hold that iuasmuch as the Supreme court had recently granted a certifi- cate of probable cause in the case. the prisoner should be given his freedom turing the pendency of the action in the higher court. However, Judge Sweeney could not see any reason why the youthful slayer should be re- leased from his cell in the county iail. and overruled the motion. This being the last hope of the defense for securing the boys release. the young man will be compelled to stay in confinement here until the Su- rrcme court acts.
 Several other attempts have been made 10 get Stephens out of jail. but a1l have proven a failure. Ii is said that it has never been the custom of the courts of the State to release man convicted Of first-degree mur- der pending an appeal. and Judge Sweeney does not feel like assuming anv responsibility for the safe keep ing of the defendant

 THE RED CROSS S647
(From Thur.iav's Dailvl


 As a result of the benefit perfor- mancc staged at the Elks theater on Tuesday evening by members of the Mix-Fox Film Company, the local chapter of the Red Cross received a bundle of money totalling S6+7 yes ierday afternoon after Miss Grace Sparkes, manager of the financial end of the show, had made her final set dement's. The gross take" for the sale of tickets to the entertainment amounted to SS65, but as a quarter of this amount went to the purchase ot thrift stamps. the whole sum could not be banked to the credit of the Red Cross. The stamp sales were boosted by S2lS. each purchaser of a ticket getting a stamp along with the transaction. Many of the buyers returned their stamps to the Red Cross. and a neat sum will be realized from this source.
 Mir. Mix and his company repeated their show at the post exchange building at Fort Whipple last night for the benefit of the invalid troop CTS, and the troupe had an audience at that time which was fully as ap- prceiative as the big crowd which ill cd the Elks theatre down town on the preceding evening.

MARRIED WOMEN
 ARE NEEDED TO
 TEACH IN SCHOOLS
(Frnm Thursdays OailvO


 Repeal the married teacher regula- ton" says. Dr. P. P. Claxton, Unit cd States commissioner of education.
 Reports from some cities indicate hat a few school boards have not vet taken action to abolish the rule barring married women from teach ing. This rule never did have much 10 recommend it, and the war has made it impossible of enforcement. Every woman who is q good teacher IS needed. and marriage is no bar. V
 For the information of school boards that have not seen Commis- Sioner Claxton's statement of March 2, 1918, appealing to married teachers to return to schools, the bureau IS asking that the following paragraph be reprinted:
 There are in the country scores of thousands of persons, mostly wo- men, of good scholarship and profes- Sional training. who have had sue ccssful experience as teachers but who have retired from active service. Many of these might render valuable service again in the school. As a means of elief in the present crisis, l recommend that they be called again into active service and that laws, ordinances and regulations of school boards prohibiting married women from teaching in the public schools be suspended or repealed

From hErSday DailN-)
 The Arizona Binghamton Copper Company is fast forging to the front as a producer of the red metal. Dur ing the last half of the month of July, the company received S3S.47S in pay ment for copper shipments which were made to the Humboldt smelter this sum being exclusive of the freight and smelter charges. During the first Is days of the present month, the Binghamton shipped nine 4O-ton cars of ore which averaged 2 per cent copper, and if the present rate Of getting the concentrates to the railroad is maintained during the remainder of August, the company will have done the biggest business in its history.
 A new ore body has recently been opened up on the 600 level, the de- posit having at the present time all of the earmarks of a real bonanza The deposit Is large and of a high grade. The company is at the pres cnt time building up a splendid cash reserve, and this fact is in all proba- bility responsible in a way for the recent great activity of the shares on the New York stock market Many thousand shares changed hands dur ing the past few weeks. and the price jumped from S3.50 to S5.50. The present outlook for the organization is exceedingly roseate, and it is be- lievcd that the property will soon be boosted into the dividend-paying class.

Iowa was the next state You sh0nld have seen the corn fields of Iowa! We rode for hours and saw nothing but corn.
 We crossed the Mississippi Aug ust 1 about 200 a. m The guard woke us up so we could see it.
 M o:00 a. m. we got into Chicago but did not get to see much of the city. It is a great railway center and the railroads were SO thick that peo- pie could not get out 10 our train.
 Detroit was our next stop. We staged little parade there and were chccrcd by a large crowd. The Red Cross served us milk and cookies. They tasted fine
 It was dark when we got back on the train and took the tunnel route into Canada. Ii was bed time SO we did not get to see much of our Eng fish neighbors.
 We woke up in Buffalo, N. Y., August :. Was sorry to be so near Niagara and not get to sec the Falls. There were plenty of things to look at. however. New York is certainly beautiful state with its numerous streams and lakes and pretty towns. The hills are covered with trees and grass which form striking contrast to the rugged mountains of Yava- pal
 We paradcd again at Elmira. New York. and were again served milk and cookies by the Red Cross.
 About three o'clock that afternoon we crossed the line into Ponnsyl- vania. Scranton was our only stop m that state. We were met at the depot by a big crowd which was sure true lv American. They were the best "rooters" Of all. We left Scranton about dark and I felt like licking every German between me and Der lin. We had caught their enthusiasm 10 man.
 We reached New York City at :00 a. m. August 6, and were marched on the ferry at once as we did not get to see much of the metropolis, Brooklyn Bridge, however. did not escape my notice. IL is surely work of magnificence.
 As I said before we reached camp at daylight. I'm feeling fine. My chum is in the hospital but expects to be out in couple of days. We shall soon be on the water, and we hope that we may go across together. Would tell you more of our trip but have not time.
