George Mcintosh is being held in the county jail on the cnarge of violating the liquor law, having been taken into custody yesterday by Deputy Sheriff E. J. Warren. Three trunks of liquor, said to be the property of Mcintosh, were recovered by the authorities few days ago.
 Mcintosh was brought back from California some time ago to answer to the charge of grand larceny. the case having to do with the theft of tires and inner tubes from the De Jong garage early in the year. The case was dis missed and Mcintosh is said to have made a trip to California and to have returned with the liquor.
 The officers claim that Mcintosh went to California in flor hire' ma chine and there claimed the trunks. The driver of the car was arrested on the charge of transporting liquor, but proved that he did not know the con- tents of the trunks and the case against him was dismissed

BY REVIEW LEASED WIRE

NEW YORK, sept. 23.-The gradu- al advance in prices which began in the stock market at the termination of the liquidation caused by the re- striction of loans was resumed today where it left off on Saturday
 Opening with quotations fractional ly higher. the market responded to steady buying, short covering and stimulating war news. Except for oc- casional profit taking around midday and for a brief period in the final hour, the progress was maintained throughout the day, and the closing was strong with a number of substan- tial gains.
 The investment railroads made i'm portant gains, this strength being at tributed to the published indications that the railroad administration would take over the short line roads under contract which would permit rate in< creases. United States and Bethle- hem steels, and Baldwin Locomotive and other equipments prospered un- der the large buying orders. United States Steel reached 111&, new high in the present movement. Mex ican Petroleum attained a new high figure, 106$4, for the year. Sales amounted to 235,OOO shares.
 Liberal offers of Liberty Bonds at concessions of 30 to SO points for cer- tain of the 4s and 45zs were common ly associated with preparations for investment in the new loan. Foreign war bonds were variable, with French government 51ks reaching a new high figure of 101A. Total sales, par value, SS,300000. United States bonds, old issues, were unchanged on call, but coupon 4s sold half point below the previous prices.

NO REPLY RECEIVED

WASHINGTON. Sept. 23.-The state department has received no answer to the message sent last Saturday tO allied and neutral nations in an ef- fort to bring about a universal stand ing against the terrorism Of the BOl sheviki in Russia Secretary Lansing said today the action may result from the sending of the note without any direct response. inasmuch as some of the neutral nations at least. have rep in Moscow and PetrOgrad and through them may bring pressure to bear upon the BOlshevikt leaders to put an end to the reign of terror.
 It became known today that the state department for eight months pri- or to their publication, had full knOwl- edge of the documentary evidence ot German control of the BOlsheviki re- gently made public.
Bisbee daily review., 1918-09-24


 wired army authorities to rush troops here, sending his telegram at g o'clock in the morning. He received a reply before 10:30, stating that troops would immediately be sent, but they were not sent and until two weeks ago he did not know that their failure to come was a telegram from an army officer stationed on observation duty inBisbee, who wired headquarters that the troops were not needed, with the result that the order to go to Bisbee was countermanded.
 The governor followed this with proofs of his later endeavors to straighten matters out in the Warren district, and the declaration that he believed at the time that the course he pursued was right and that he had not changed his mind.
 The Bisbee matter, the governor de- clared, had been used more than all the other things combined to create a wrong impression concerning his course in office. It had been sought in every part of the state to make it appear that he had sat in his office supinely indifferent or incompetent throughout the days preceding and in- elusive of July 12 and thereafter, whereas in fact he had exerted every possible endeavOr before, during and after the climax of the situation to first avert and then to correct insofar as possible that which did happen. At the same time he was giving every endeavOr to keep in hand the situa- fiOnc af Adionf Iarorpa C1{ffo, and Morenci. He produced telegrams to federal authorities, citing them to the fact that he was without troops, all state organizations having passed under federal control, and pointed to the fact that while the states execu- tive has large responsibilities he has no power to remove or interfere with the constituted authorities of cities or counties or of the state as named by their voters, unless he would himself become a violator of the law.
 Every seat in the park was occu- pied until the last word was uttered by the governor. while hundreds stood up during the nearly two hours of his speech. At the close many crowded forward to the rostrum to shake hands with the distinguished speaker. Later he went to Warren to participate in the Red Cross gathering, where he was received enthusiastically in the throngs crowding the park.
 Judge Albert Sames delivered a stirring appeal for votes for Candi- date Maddox for the house of repre- sentatiyes as against Carl Hayden, whose record on war legislation he declared was such as to unfit him for return to the direction of affairs of the nation, having to do with the pro- tection of the brave Americans fight ing for their country and the prin- ciples of freedom on the worlds bat tie grounds.
 Governor Campbell speaks at Globe tonight, at Phoenix tomorrow night and at Prescott Thursday night This will end his political addresses until Oct 20, as he intends making no pO- litical endeavOrs whatever during the period of the Liberty Loan campaign.
