PRETTY GOOD JOKE ON SOME.
BODY.

A rumor. careless rumor bv the
way, comes down the river from Boise
that the great administration bill
which reorganizes the state govern
ment mostly by making the governor
the manager, is the offspring of one
Ben Oppenheim, a LAWYER of the
capital city. That is not bad as Mr.
Oppenheim has just as much right to
reorganize as anybody else. But, saws
the rumor, Mr.. Oppenheim prepared
the bill at the instance of Mr.. SamueIs
late a candidate for governor and
with the idea in view that if elected
Mr., Samuels would father the nil,
Mr' oamuels was not elected and it
deVolved upon Mr.. Oppenheim to find
another father which he did in Mr.
Davis, according to the rumor.
The authorship Of the administra-
ton bill is not a matter of much i'm
portance if the law itself is all RIGHT
lime will tell whether the law ;s a
move onward or not. What we adj
mire is the shrewdness and determine
.ion OF Mr.. Oppenheim in going To
Mr.. Samuels' opponent for governor
and securing the endorsement of the
proposed measure. That is politics Of
d type not found often this far west
IT is finesse in diplomacy and the
ainma in craftsmanship. Above all it
IS a pretty good joke on Somebody
the people probably in the end.

SPREADS in
BORDER AREA
Many Men Carrying Liquor
Across Border Into the
United States.

Ell Paso, Tex, July 1.-Bootlegging
has assumed widespread proportions
in Aqua Prieta. Sonora. Mexico, across
the border from Douglas. Arizona, ac-
cording to Americans who have in
vestigated liquor conditions in the
border state. Open saloons are pro-
hibited by Sonora state laws. but little
or no effort has been made by the au-
thorities to curtail illicit liquor traf-
fic, they say.
C~ognizance Of the situation has been
taken by h authorities. however, to
the extent that a bill has been intro
duced in the state chamber of dep
uties permitting the establishment Of
open saloons for the sale of light
wines and beer under strict state su-
pervision. The bill purposes limiting
the number of saloons in accordance
with population and the payment Of
high state and municipal licenses.
Well informed Mexicans believe
that saloons will return under the
proposed new law as they contend
that while General P. Elias Gales,
military governor of Sonora. is an ad-
vocate Of prohibition he would much
prefer the l%egalizing Of the liquor
traffic with the consequent revenue
to combating the increasing number
of b~ootleggers.

is a troublesome one to the better
class of Sonora Mexicans and resi-
dents Of Douglas and other border
towns. It is pointed out that Aqua
Frieta offers eas access to any one
in Douglas who desires to obtain
liquor. At the present time certain
Mexicans with a great show Of friend
ship invite Americans across the line
to visit the bootleggers.
The Mexican policemen watch all
visitors closely. and. it is reported,
make a practice of arresting Ameri-
| cans when their conduct becomes
boisterous and robbing them Of their
money and other valuables. Should
the Americans protest there is always
the alternative Of a real arrest and a
| prison sentence or a heavy fna- Some
observers here a the reopening Of
the saloons will do much toward max
ing a bad situation worse.

and struck the young wornan three
terrific blows on the head. When I
saw the young woman was dead I
helped my wife hide the body"
Cocchi said he made all the pre-
vious statements in an effort to shield
his wife. but he was now going to tell
the real truth. He added tina he had
heard his wife was slowly dying be-
cause her conscience had made her

In reporting the Cocch1 statement,
the prosecutor asserted he took no
stock in it.
'It was sensational, but full of
lies." he said. mot only Bologna, but
the entire country Of Italy, is deeply
moved by the terrible crime commit
ted by this degenerate"
Cocchi's eleventh hour allegation, S.
V%enturini. his counsel, seized upon
this latest version of the crime as a
means Of convincing the jury that the
woman and not his client was the
slayer. It is assumed that if Cocchi
takes the witness stand he will repeat
the statement he made to the prose-
cutor.
Although Ruth Cruger's disappear
ance was reported to the New York
police in February. 1917, and al
though it was known that she went
to Cocchi's shop to have her skates
sharpened, detectives scoffed at the
murder theory. The fact that Cocchi
disappeared did not change their
opinion. The body was found in the
shop June 16 by Mrs. Grace Humis-
searches were made before it was dis
covered. Cocchi was found in. Italy
and arrested. An effort to extradite
him failed.

corning American activities in Sibria

On the contrary, he said, the ac-
tivities Of Americans in Siberia are all
pnselfish and dedicated to the welfare
and advancement, of the people of
Russia. He especially praised the
work of the American Red Cross and
the American Young MEMS Christian
association. IT was a striking thing,
ne said. to notice that the men who
direct the American activities were
those who had lived in Japan and
were friendly to the Japanese people.
Mr.. Zumoto added that he had de-
livered aEnumber of speeches to the
Japanese people concerning the re-
suits of his trip in. an effort to eradi-
cate any misunderstanding. He look
ed forward to active cooperation be-
tween Japan and the United States in
the future development of Siberia.

PROCLAMATION.

To the People of kenosha:
May S0th of each year having
been set apart and dedi-
Gated to the memory of the
brave men who went forth at the
time of the rebellion and offered
their lives for the preservation of
the Union, it becomes the duty of
every patriotic citizen to appro-
priately observe the solemnity of
the day; to assist in befitting
manner and to show our apprecia-
ton of the duty we owe our de-
ceased heroes and the survivors Of
the great struggle.
We have assembled for years or
Memorial Day to review the pa
triotic service rendered by our
soldiers and sailors during the days
of the Civil War, but this year we
have new responsibilities.
or have returned and honors and
army is returning from the fields
of battle and from service on the
fields of France where our boys
have made such noble sacrifices in
the interests of humanity and free
dom. Our gallant boys who were
unable to realize their ambition to
get across; the noble mariners who
successfully guarded and transport
ed our soldiers are also returning
or have returned and the honor
respect we would show the Civil
War Hero may with propriety be
applied to the brave American Sol
diers and Sailors who offered them
themselves for our country, for bu-
manity, and for freedom in the
great World War.
The patriotism and loyalty of the
people Of Kenosha have been PROV
en-. The devotion of our people
in honor of the dead heroes of our
country needs no Memorial Day
Proclamation, and on this solemn
occasion, while we cannot visit the
graves overseas, we can offer our
prayers for the fallen ones who
cannot return, and I appeal to our
people to make May Both, 1919, by
our devotion, patriotic service, by
our acts and expressions, the most
marked in the history of our coun-
try since the inception of Mem
orial Day following the Civil War
and demonstrate to our returning
heroes our appreciation of the sac
rifices they have made and were
willing to make and that their ser
vice to country and humanity will
never be forgotten by the Ameri-
can people. (

of Kenosha, this 2Sth dayeof May,
