 BY WOMAN'S CLUBS

Asking the cooperation of all wom- ems organizations throughout the state, Mrs. Ruth Biddings, examiner iu charge of the Womans sdivision, United States Employment Service, has sent out a circular in which she asks a few pertinent questions. Mrs. Bindings stated that her object in taking this step was to secure great CT efficiency through the enthusiastic cotoperation and support of all con- cerped.
 Here are the questions she has put Up 10 the womens clubs and societies:
 What improvements would you suggest?
 How can the service be made a more cooperative effort?
 Can you suggest a plan to reopen the offices closed until congress acts on the appropriation bills?
 Any other suggestion or constructive criticism will be welcomed.

D|C MINING SUIT |S
 ENDED AT PRESCOTT

After two weeks trial of suit in which the plaintiff originally asked for s200, 900 damages, a jury in the superior court of Yavapai county returned a verdict of s15,o00 against the Arizona Binghamton Copper company, the de- fendant in the suit on contract brought by the Copper Queen Gold Mining com : pany.
 The local attorneys who were in the case returned to town yesterday some what worn by the continuous fortnight in the court room, the sessions being held night as we'll as day.
 The most minute investigation into the fact was made, scores of experts in mining and milling being called to the stand during the trial of the suit which has been followed with interest by the mining fraternity. Many questions of law arose during the course of the lengthy trial.
 According to the contact. the de- fendant agreed to mill the ore of the plaintiff not to exceed 100 tons day. The plaintiff contended that the de- fendant fell down on the contract, while 1 it waa the contention of the defendant

Miller of Los Angeles, who is here at the present time, while the executrix contends that the title Of property left by Colonel Hunter, which consists of an undivided half interest in 16 tracts, is undeter- mined and that ancillary admlnIslra ton proceedings are not necessary for the protection of the estate. The execu- trix further charges that the Cuppys came to Phoenix for the express pur- pose of attempting to obtain letters of administration and without intention of establishing a bona fide residence here.
 She, claims that the Cuppys filed ad- ninistration proceedings in California. petitioning the court for the removal of the executrix and asking their ap- pontment. It is alleged that the petl- tion was utterly without foundation and was abandoned by the petitioners without a hearing.
 The lands over which such a bitter legal battle is pending are located in Pima, Pinal and Maricopa counties Hunter obtained the many million acres from the Papagoes, the deeds having been given him by the Indians in con- sideration that he would cause to be conducted necessary litigation to ju- dicially determine the title of the lands For that purpose, it is said, Hunter entered into a contract with i, R. w

 CRIME CAREER
 E \ BRIEF ONE.
William Flynn Attempting to Hold Up Grocery Store Knocks Proprietor Sense less; Is Captured Later

William Flynn, an 1S-year-old boy says his home is in t'ittsburg, must have been in desperate need of money yesterday morning to go into Holahan's grocery at the corner of Polk and Fourth streets and try to hold up the proprietor at the point of gun.
 When he entered the store, there was no one there but the proprietor, and when the boy called to him and he turned he was looking into the bar rel of a revolver.
 Come across" said Flynn.
 Holahan reached for the revolver, but Flynn struck him on the head with It. knocking him senseless.
 Holahan was found soon after and q woman in inc neighborhood remem- bered seeing a young man leave the store She gave a description of him to the police. Flynn lost some time in the business part of town by taking the re- golver back to a place where he had bought it in the morning. He recovered tiIe money he paid for it. By that time inc police came up with him and he broke into a run. He took refuge in a vacant building and when Policeman Duncan came up Flynn told him that he would not be taken; he would die shooting.
 But Duncan went on and took pos session of him and found that he was unarmed. In the afternoon, MT. Hol- ahan swore out warrant in Justice Wheler's court and Flynn was brought in. At first he appeared rather brazen, but he soon broke down and said that he would plead guilty Accordingly he was bound 10 the superior court in the sum of S2,500 Flynn said that he had been rendered desperate by inability tc find work. What he meant was con- genial work. for he admitted that he had a washing job at St Joseph's hospital

A decision was rendered adverse to the rights of the Indian tribes and an appeal was taken to the court of appeals, Distric. of Columbia, and the decision of the lower court reversed. An appeal was taken to the supreme court of the United States and a decision has been rendered which is faborabe to the rights of the Indians to the lands, but is not decisive of the case. It is further alleged by the California heirs that Martin has expended large sums in conducting the litigation and at pres ent the title is wholly undetermined and the right of the estate to the lands described in the deeds to Hunter de- pend entirely upon the outcome of the litigation
 Hunter has been dead since 1912. He was one of the interesting figures in fthe west during the early eighties. He was graduate of West Point. a class mate of Sheridan and Sherman and had the rank of Colonel in the United States army. In '79 he resigned from the army. according to Cuppy, in order that ne might care for the land interests of the Papagoes
 The Cuppys are represented by F. Lotus Zimmerman in the action insti- tuted here recently and which will come up peiore Judge Lyman in May.

 The daughter, who is an unusually attractive woman, asks that the prop erty be reconveyed. The plaintiff con- tends that if Mrs. Ferree has any claims against the estate that she can present them in due form when the property is given to the estate. Mrs. Ferree, who is also pretty and clever, insists that she expended a large amount in care of her fatherin-law who in gratitude to her, deeded her his lands. She testified as did other wit nesses that Ferree stated at various times that Martha cared for him more than his own children

Opposition to the petition of Fannie r. Hunter Cuppy for letters of admin istration with the will annexed, was offered yesterday by the majority of the heirs of the Robert F. Hunter estate which is valued at several millions of dollars.
 The opposition was filed in the su- perior court, but did not come up for hearing. in view of the fact that Vir- ginia Hunter, executrix of the estate. had not arrived from Los Angeles.

Engineers Have No Chance.
The engineering commission, on the
other hand, does not readily get the
ear of congress. No charges have been
filed There is nothing to which they
can reply The commission says the
project is about rs per cent shy Of

more than was originally figured.

Replying to the statement that the
road had cost more than expected, he
said steel costs more than it did four
years ago. 1t was all very well to
talk about buying steel before the rise
but the fact is the commission did not
know there was going to be an Euro
pean war at that time, and in any
event they didn't have any money to
buy steel with. The secretary init
mated that a great many other people
would have bought steel and wheat

known in 1914 the prices that would
prevail in 1918. He was not at all per-
trubed at the information that part of
the railroad had been damaged by
flood. In fact he had a distinct recol
lection of the same thing happening
to the Southern Pacific and a good

a thing will not occur, but it would
not surprise him very greatly if, at
some time or other, part of the gov

have happened before.

ANTHRACITE COAL

1t is only little more than one
hundred years since anthracite coal
has been used as fuel, the first at
tempts to burn it proving unsuccess,
full. Judge Jesse Fell of Fell house,
Wilkesbarre, Penn, was convinced
that "stone COAL" as it was called
would burn but his arguments were
laughed at. Finally, convinced that
what was necessary was a strong
draft, Judge Felel built a fireplace of
brick with a bottom and front of iron
grating. Piing the coal in this, he
built a wood fire under it. Soon the
coal was a red-hot mass, and the
neighbors flocked in at marvel at the
sight and revel in the grateful warmth

amendment to the original bill This
Will remove the limit Of expenditure,
but it inadvertently raises another
barrier, namely, that the amount of
the expenditure is limited to the sums
appropriated by Congress. There is
no emergency clause. No more money
than is appropriated can be expended,
and as Secretary Lane points out,
floods, fires and things of that kind,
somehow or other, will persist in hap
pening. However, the passage of the
amendment will be a step along the
path of progress, but it is by no means
certain that congress will act favor
ably upon it at this session.

full knowledge of the fact that other
railroads in the territory in former
years paid a scale of q cents an hour
for common labor, while the commits
sion has been paying as high as SO

unanimity of opinion among the work
men that they were entitled to the
higher scale. The laborers complained
somewhat forcefully that the cost of
food and shoes and other things had

There are few people in Washing

of the preponderance of evidence to
the contrary they cannot, by the great
est stretch OF the most elastic imag-
ination, be considered to have any

insistently to the fact that the COM
missions figures show a cost of about
$4,000 mile and that the Copper
River & Northwestern railroad cost
approximately 100000 a mile from
Cordova to Chitina. They likewise in
vite attention to the fact that the
Copper River road was built in 1907
1911, when par profiteering was an I'M
discovered science and the man who
paid nickel for cup of coffee in a
first-class restaurant thought he was
being robbed.
There probably has been some waste
on the federal railroad in Alaska-iust
how much or how little nobody knows.

The immutable fact that hindsight is
better than foresight is probably the

charges that have been made under

But whatever the cause, the fact re-
mains that there is serious danger
that the appropriation necessary to
complete the project will not be made
at this session and that the work will
be delayed. 1t is unthinkable that
the government will leave the project
unfinished, but the first move toward

Serious complications surround the
legislation pertaining to the construc
ton of the Alaska railroad, and just
at present there are indications that
the completion of the project may be
delayed for some time, says J. j. I'm
derwood in the Seattle Times.
According to estimates made by the
Alaska engineering commission, an
additional $14,O00,000 is needed to
finish the work between Seward and
Fairbanks, thus connecting the shore
line Of Alaska with the interior water
way system.
When the railroad bill was passed
early in 1914, there was inserted in 1t
a clause specifically prohibiting the
President from expanding more than
S35, 900 900 on the job. Of this amount
there is left to be appropriated a sum
slightly in excess of $4,000,00O.. 1t is
apparent that $4,000,000 will not be
sufficient to do the work which en-
gineers estimate will cost $14,O0O,00O.
One doesn't need a technical educa-
ton to arrive at that conclusion
Delegate James Wickersham has
caused to be introduced joint resolu-
ton and a bill removing the restric-
lions placed upon the amount that IS
to be spent on the project, but hopes
for the passage of the bill at this
session are not rich in promise.
Try 1t on the Dog.
The enthusiasm of the Southern
senators for the original bill was never
more than skin deep. They voted for
the measure largely because President
Wilson made a personal issue of 1t
and asked them so to do. Many who
voted for the measure even at that
time held inherent and conscientious
objections to government ownership
and operation of public utilities, but
Alaska is long way from Washing
ton and they thought that if govern
ment ownership had to be given trial
they might as we'll try it on the dog
first-Alaska being selected for the
canine role.
During the four years that the prof.
ect has been under construction their
enthusiasm has waned. Congress tires
easily. A million more important
things have come up in the meantime.
