er Information

An Atlantic Port, Jan. l4.-The agents
of the American steamship Texas, a shil
of $4,000 tons, which left here recently
with cargo of nitrates for French
port, to-day received advices from the
naval authorities that she was sinking
at sea. The location was not given and
the naval authorities did not state the
cause.
Reports to shipping circles from other
sources were that the vessel had been
rammed amidships in collision with
another ship. Another theory was that
she might have struck an iceberg.
A steamer arriving to-day reported
that at a. m. she picked up an IS o. S. -
from the Texas, reporting that she had
been struck amidships and was sinking.
The lifeboats had been lowered. The last
message from the Texas said: Goodbye;
no more" 1t was said that a steamer
which had picked up the call was hurry
ing to her assistance.
A government radio station picked up
a message from the steamer William
cite. sent to an unidentified ship, saying:
"Will you escort me backY" The answer
was unintelligible
Naval authorities said they were un-
able to determine whether the William
cite collided with the Texan or was dam
aged by the same agency that probably
sunk the Texan.
Fragmentary wireless messages indi-
Gated that the damaged steamers be-
onged to fleet passing north. That

the law into their own hands and set such a precedent. What balderdash | l want to ask these wiseacres this | question: When, since the fourth of July, 1776, has the law ever been out of the hands of the people? And if | it has ever been out, for ont day or one hour since, whose hands was it , in? Please answer. If the United States was Prussionized once we should very soon know the law was out of the peoples hands.
 And again, it is said and reiterated by the I. w. w. sympathizers that a mob" gathered and committed the great outrage" at Bisbee. Again want to ask can a sheriff's posse in Cochise county, or in any other coun- ty in Arizona or in any state of the United States. sworn in by law for duty be called a mob? Or can any United States marshals posse be called a mob? l think not. It would be, and is, 'Lese America" out and out.
 Cochise county has had more than one lawless, vicious crowd to dispose of in it's time, but the law and order people of that county have always been equal to the occasion, and have always done it effectually. and they are able to do it again, and don't let anybody forget it. We needed no United States troops in Arizona then, and never have needed any sincesthe Indian wars have ended. Let the beO- pie alone. Let them clean up all such lawless uprisings. They can and will do it thoroughly. They will see that the laws they have made for the gov ernment of the state are duly respect ed SO that law-abiding working men can do their legitimate work without let or hindrance, and law and order prevail And the men whom the peo- pie have put into office to represent them, in the various affairs of state. would do well to consult the people (their boss) beforethey try to go too far on their own hook, so to speak. Each county of all states has a sheriff. who is the chief executive officer Of his county He is put in that position by the citizen voters of the county. and his business is to represent the people of that county in keeping order (also other duties), and if he can not keep order alone the people have made statute laws authorizing him to depu- tize every man in his county to help him put down disturbances and es- tablish order again eff hs needs so many), and they are obliged by law to help him with their life if neces- sary. Then if the unlawful, violent element is too strong for him he must call upon the governor. But suppose the governor has no militia to send to his relief? Then he (the governor), instead of. calling upon the president of the United States in a petty affair like that, must call upon the sheriffs of the other counties of his own state to deputize their men and in an emer- gency rush to the 8si5tance of their sister county and put themselves un- der the leadership of that county's sheriff, without the governor leads them all. and make thorough clean up. We need no United States help at all in Arizona except it would be In case of foreign invasion, and perhaps not even then.

Those French troops battling so valiant ly all along the southern end of the battle line are fighting to save Paris That is what this present battle means. Either the Germans must be checked at both wings of the offensive and held or a general with drawal must be made that will bring the Prussians right up to the French capital The situation is serious But French re- serves are arriving at critical points, and French spirit is still indomitable, and no one will believe for moment that the Ger mans can seriously threaten Paris Many thousands of American troops are in line at points now threatened by the German ad- vance and it is expected they will take no small share in future fighting, especially if further advance is made.

While the sinking of American ships off the American coast by German subma- rines will cause tremendous furry in this country and lot of talk and boasting in Germany, yet it Is only a drop in the bucket as regards the losing or winning of the war. It is simply typical German stroke of ruthlessness to strike terror to her enemies. In other words, the idea of send ing submarine, or even fleet of U-boats across the ocean Is to scare us to death to hamper and hinder and harass our ship ping of men and food and munitions to Europe as much as possible. The newest type of German submarine cruiser has a sailing radius of three or four thousand miles, just enough to cross the Atlantic and back These boats, unless they have a secret base on this side of the sea, must do their work in day or two and hasten back for supplies of oil, etc. They can only strike in spectacular fashion and get away. If they have base over here it will soon be found and destroyed. If the object was to frighten American sailors and troops and authorities, it has failed already for the port of Boston was only closed an hour be- cause of the sinkings

A PROGRESSIVE AND WORTHY
 MEASURE

Proposing state insurance tor workmen, with the employers paying for 1t, fixed sums for compensation for all manner of injury sustained at employment, settle ments with injured persons or their bene- ficiaries without delay and in such manner that lawyers fees and court expenses will be done away with, petitions are now be- ing generally circulated for the purpose of getting a proposed amendment on the bal lot in November If sufficient signatures are secured on the petitions in the limited time allowed between now and July, the pro posed amendment will go on the ballot and be either accepted or rejected by the voters
 The proposed amendment directly con cerns more people and is considered to be of more importance than any other that has been talked of as likely to go to the voters this fall for their decision. It is claimed that if adopted 1t will reduce taxes through taking large present burden from the court costs of the state Although the benefits are higher than in any other state, the death benefit being double that Provid- ed under the present Arizona law, the in- surance will cost the employer less than charged by insurance companies. It will te optional with employer and employee whether they work under the law, but each is obliged to give notice if not wishing to work under it. Tn the latter event the common law remains to each for protec- ton. The terms Of the proposed amend ment are so advantageous to both employ CT and employe, however, that each will want to work under 1t. Important items of advantage pointed to are that every work man and his family will know that if acci- dent befalls him at work, payment will be prompt and in amount guaranteed in ad- vance by the state, while every employer will know just what he will have to pay during the year, his assessment being based upon his payroll during the preceding year and according to the hazard connected with the particular employment he gives
