ON VOTES OF
WOMEN HOLDS VETS
IN CHECK IN APRIL

Lansing, Mich.-An appeal to the
women Of the state to exert the full
force of their new political power is
being made to feminine voters by the
leaders who are marshaling Michigan's
drys for the battle at the polls in
April. The opinion is advanced at
the headquarters of the Anti-Saloon
League here that it will be the wom-
ems vote at the coming election that
will decide the fate of the wine and
beer saloon amendment to be submit
ted this spring. A movement to Sc
cure the registration of women has
already been set Afoot by the dry CAM
paigners.
"The election in April" said A. P.
Loomis, who is directing the work of
organization for the drys, "will afford
the women of Michigan their first op-
portunity for expressing an opinion
upon a moral issue. Heretofore their
role has been chiefly an advisory one
their coming part will be active.
"But what the women of Michigan
must not forget is that if they do not
register they will be unable to vote.
1t will be up to every woman who
wishes to settle the liquor question
once and for all to see that she is
properly signed up with the city clerk,
the township clerk, or such registra-
ton officials as have this work in
charge.
"It is my personal belief that when
the feminine vote is counted the wet
will be rejected by an over
whelming majority"

 Now there is the city of Los Angeles. Its popua- tion we understand is made up in a large part or bucoic Iowans whose migration to the southwest set in something like quarter of century ago. The Hawkeye element is said to be the predominant one.

We are never so happy, nor so un- happy as we suppose ourselves to be.
 La Rouchefoucauld.
A Fine Start

One eighth of the Victory loan was subscribed Tn in forty-eght hours For the subscription of the re- naining seven-eights there eighteen days. So there can be hardly a doubt that the loan will be heavily oversubscribed as it ought to be.
 Perhaps there will not be such burst of speed as was exhibited in the first two days of the cam paign From now on we may expect only steady pulling until near the close, when there will be other rush which we believe will carry the loan far over the top
 In previous loan campaigns the eastern districts, and especially the larger cities have moved slowly that 1t was feared that their quotas would not be filled but the last spurt which brought them all under the wire. No city likes to be left notceably behind.
 So far we believe this has been more of a popular loan than any of it's predecessors. And that the very thing it feared it would not be; that the people had been pretty well fed up with Liberty loans that the war having ended there would be lacking the great enthusiasm which had put other loans over; that there much dissatisfaction with denobzation that the people would be inclined to hold aloof.
 But again the American people had misjudged themselves; had underestmated themselves. What might have gone wrong, there was one plain patent thing and that that the government needed the money; the soldiers needed it. and they are going to get it.

 There is, therefore no sense in denouncing former opponents as obtuse, partsans and as dishonest. There is nothing to be gained by violent and viruent uphoding of the old which no longer exists But something may be lost in doing so.
 There are some senator's though we believe they are of small minority. who opposed to the very principle of the league and will vote against the ratification of it in treaty We suppose there are others who still inwardly against it. though their outward objections have been met by amend ment- There is danger that these proponents of the old, dead and gone covenant may provoke an issue where there is now

Chief Johnson, At Cremation
 On Reservation, Accused Medicine Man of Bewitch- cry Is Evidence At Trial

Testimony developed yesterday by the government in the case against Bill Davis and Chief John Johnson of the Cocopahs, for the alleged murder of Joe Barley last March, indicated that Chief Johnson, at a cremation on the reservation last summer, openly ac- cused Joe Barley of being witch and saying that he should be killed.
 This testimony was introduced after a strenuous fight on the part of Attor- neys Harris and Brumbach for the defendants. Dave Escalante, an Indi- an, testified to having overheard John son make the statement, in which the chief said:
 f'This boy they are cremating died of bewitchery, and I will get the man who bewitched him. He should be killed.
 Marcus Kelly, Yuma, talking with Chief Johnson in the jail at Yuma, tes- tified that Johnson had made many boasts about the killing ability of the Cocopahs.
 "Cocopahs Are Brave"
 "when we get out of here" Johnson is quoted as having said, i've will get the widow. The Cocopahs can kill you and nothing will ever be done about it i The Cocopahs are brave and when they start anything they do not stop. 1 have right to kill anybody I want tc i kill. I am the leader of the Cocopahs 1 If the white people put me on the stand for killing Joe Barley, I will cal 1 in the United States marshal to hell me. That's why the white people ar' afraid to call me and put me on thu ] stand"
 Kelly also testified that Johnson tolt him that he had instructed the yount 1 men of the tribe to kill Joe Barley At one time in his testimony, Kell. l said that Johnson admitted being a the Barley home and directing tn | killing, while again. he said that John son denied having been there.

 The slaughtered steer was picked up by a rodeo party headed by County Ranger De Witt after his suspicious had been aroused that cattle rustling had been practised on large scale in the western part of the county. The steer was placed in a corral near Palo Verde as evidence. According to the authorities, those who wished to de- stroy the evidence, roped the steer ani dragged it to the river where it was
