SHERIFF CLOSES CARNIVAL
 BOOTHS IN DOUGLAS

While the cranival was going full swing last night in Douglas, Sheriff J. F. Mcdonald and several of the men swcoped down on the outfit and or dered them to close the booths which in any way violated the new gambling law. The very versatile manager tried to tell the sheriff his duties, but evidently was unsuccessful. The manager goes to Tombstone tomorrow to consult County Attorney French.
 As this means the of practically all the booths which rely upon chance for the winning of prizes, it is quite probable that the carnival will move to fields of another setate, where the officers are not as observant of the duties imposed upon them. Being situated outside of the city limits made it impossible for the city police to act in enforcing the law.

DEVELOP AR|z.
 COAL FIELDS

w. H. Clark of Los Angeles, is be- came known recently, is head of a group of capitalists that is behid power project in Arizona that con templates spending hundreds of thousands of dollars to furnish ''juice'' to many cities and industries of the Hassayampa state.
 The new Navajo road to Cooley, in the heart of the Black Mesa for est, 72 miles southwest of Holbrook, tassing very near a big Ignite coal field, in character very similar to that at Gallup, N. M. A number Of sections of the coal measures were located, mainly by Prescott residents, before the department of the Interior hurriedly withdrew the rest of the field from location. For years these Prescott locations have been main- tained, in the hope of railroad con- munications at some time. The new lumber road now offers the oppor- tunity.
 | It is new proposed to build a short spur to the coal fields, for the market ing of the best of the coal, but the Clark plans are far more extensive than this. They contemplate the es- tablishment on the fields of a large plant, where the mine run'' of coal will be burned for the generation of steam, this in turn to be transformed into electric power, which it is pro- posed to be wired to Globe and Miami, 75 miles to the southward, to points 1 cn the. Santa Fe and even to the min- ing districts around Prescott. It is estimated that the power. will be se- cured at the cheapest cost ever known in the southwest from anything save hydroelectric plants and that it can be sold at a profit when wired to points several hundred miles distant.
 There is local hope also of the de- velopment of oil, in a field a few miles distant from HOlbrook. The Hopi company has resumed drilling after an idleness of a month, mainly due to snow; the Adamana comrapy is installing new castings and the Hol- brook company has purchased a drill ing rig from the almost abandoned Del Rio Field, north of Prescott Los Angeles Times.

ARIZONA NON-COMS ANXIOUS
 TO GUARD PRES. WILSON

How Arizona officers almost fought for the privilege of being detailed as members of a special company form ed from the 15Sth Infantry (old First Arizona) to guard President Wilson during his stay in Paris, is recounted by Stars and Stripes, the official pub. lication of the American expeditionary forces. It says:
 Halt! Who's there?"
 The intruder, advancing suddenly he is dealing with and is just a little more careful about explaining his mis- sion than he would be with a common buck private.
 But what has the sergeant done? Why is he walking post? Sergeants are not supposed to do sentry duty. There is a reason, however.
 Around the Murat mansion, Presi- dent and Mrs. Wilson's temporary home in Paris, American sentries si- lently pace their posts day and night. Their uniforms we'll pressed for the occasion, every button buttoned and their shoes shining as though they had just come from the quartermas- ters issue room, the guards are as spick and span as any you would find should yuo search the world over. Almost all Non-Coms A company was chosen from the 15Sth infantry, consisting almost en. tirely of non-coms, to be the guard Of | honor of President Wilson during his | sojourn in Paris.

JEWS, SYRIANS AND AR
 MENIANS ARE STARVING

R. E. Dunlap, state superintendent of the Christian church, with head quarters in Phoenix, left today for the purpose of affecting thorough county organizations in the northern tier of counties to aid in the work of raising $150,OO0 in this state for oppressed and starving Armenians, Jews and Syrians
 'The coming triple drive of Feb. 1917 to be held for the purpose of populations of the near east is not in conflict with any other relief move ment", it was emphatically stated recently by David Goldberg, Arizona chairman of the joint committee having in charge the coming cam paign.
 Goldberg's statement is backed up i by messages from the head of the Red Cross as well as by President Wilson and Herbert Hoover, in charge of World relief work.
 In recent wire H. P. Davidson, president of the American Red Cross, declares:
 Alexander J. Hemphill, chairman national campaign Armenian-Syrian relief, has requested me to telegraph you regarding the drive for $30,000,- 900. American Red Cross during the past IS months, has contributed four and one half million dollars to this committee for relief work in Armenia and Syria. We have been working in closest cooperation with that com mittee and have every faith in their work RLd Cross relief does not over- lap that of this committee as we have kept out of their field on the basis that relief work in this territory was already being well handled by them and therefore cooperated with them | by contributions mentioned above in- stead of organizing new funds for this field.
 i (Signed) I'll. P. DAWSON, \ President American Red Cross" ! What applies to the Armenian-Syri. an relief applies with equal force to merged with the former, thus making $45,G0G.0G0 the tCtal of funds whi h i will be utilized under a close system of scrutiny in ameliorating the con- ditions of these people.

REFORMS OF. PRIMARY
 ELECTION LAWS

In nearly all western states efforts will be made to reform the direct pri- mary nomination laws.
 These reforms will proceed along two lines-allowing state and county conventions and making the primary effective.
 The latter line of reform includes preservation of political party lines and requiring majority vote to decide.
 The abuse of the Non-Partisan League registering as of one party and putting cut party nominees on its own platform is aimed at. The ~ab, surdity of candidates running on a ticket as Republicans or Democrats but really bound hand and foot to a socialist platform is apparent.
 In cities, progress in primary cleo tion reform is simple-any candidate at primary who has majority of all votes is declared elected. Nomina- tions in city elections are made on petition and are not partisan and a majority at the primary elects, thus obviating another election.
 This provision also shortens the ballot, as there are only contest for the remaining offices in which case the two receiving highest votesrun. County and state conventions are valuable educational gatherings ir the training of citizens for politica duties and must be restored.
 In case of renominations or a can didate running without opposition there is no need of a direct primary the county or state convention nomi hating.
 Nominations over which there is spirited contest may well be left tt the direct primary by the county ol state central committees, majority tc decide.
 This primary election can be helC at the same time delegates are chosei Tn the precincts for the county con vention, delegates bound by precinc vote.
 Reforms on those lines would saw expense, shorten the ballot and pre- serve party harmony, and neithe party organization or direct voting d the primary be desroyed as both hay valuable features. e~

A POST CARD FROM GERMANY

With the American Army of Occu- patton, January 20.-Theodore Roose- velt's death made impossible the scheme of Lieut.. w. w. Tanney, of Pittsburg, an aviator, to deliver to the one-time president a picture postal which was circulated widely in war time Germany, showing the body of his youngest son, Lieut.. Quentin Roosevelt lying face upward beside his shattered biplane. The photograph evidently was staged for propaganda purposes by Boche photographers and spread broadcast through Germany by the Kaiser's military authorities to show the people convincing proof of the death of one of MT. Roose- velt's warrior sons, typical piece of Boche propaganda.
 Y. M. c. A. workers found Lieut. Tanney when they entered Strass burg with relief for American wound ed and prisoners. He wore the same bloodstained blouse he had on wher he was shot down from the sky while on a daylight bombing raid on Co l logne. At the time nine Boche avi atoirs attacked him. Tanney was shot through the shoulders and lungs While in the hospital he obtained DO session of the picture postcard whicl he displayed to the Y. M. c. A. mel who took comforts to him.

MEXICAN DESCRIBES

 A large game of baseball WIS cele

 In place of a bull baseball has an
 umpire, man who does not play the game. In ike the iudge of the i bull fight, he stands on tI,e field. He

BAN ON JOHNSON GRASS

PHOENIX, May 13-AttS Gen. Jones gave out an opinion this morning de claring that the provisions of sections 594 to 601 of the penal code of Ari- zona, 1913, prohibited the transport ing within this state for the purpose of cultivation the plants known as the Johnson grass.
 E. A. Washburn of the San Simon valley owns some lands which had been thoroughly infested with this grass and finding it an excellent feed for hogs, he desired to bring under cultivation some three more acres, and therefore had written to a seed store in Phoenix and three other stores elsewhere for seeds. They had assured himv that there is no law in the state which prohibits the planting of such grass. He ordered about I5O pounds of these seeds from an Fl Paso store, but entertaining some

DOUBLE BILL AT
 EAGLE THEATER
 FOR TODAY ONLY

"The Diyorcee," which comes to the Eagle theater today only, was taken from the successful stage play, Lady Frederick by w Somerset Vaughan. It is a powerful story of intense hu- man emotions. Tn this dramatic Metro production Ethel Barrymore is seen in her artistic and emotional best. She plays the same role which she created on the stage and in which she became internationally famed. The story is powerful one-full of the passions which sway and dominate. Jealousy, intrigue, revenge and love all take their turn upon the stage of life but, as always, love and good prevail and the story ends with beautiful romance. The action is swift and intense and Miss Barrymore touches dramatic heights never be- fore reached by an American actress
 On same program big special comedy featuring Larry Semon en- titled ''Well I'll Be- will be shown. This is an uproarous scream of a com edy and one that is really funny. So if you are looking for a good laugh go to the Eagle theater. This program will be shown today only. Adv

HER IMPROVEMENT
 ANAzES FRIENDS
LOOKING AFTER A sIxTY-TWo ROOM HOUSE NO TASK TO
 MRS. LAPLANT NOW

"All my friends know and can tell you that for long time was almost a nervous wreck, and this Tanlac has made such a wonderful change in my condition that they are simply amazed at my improvement" said Mrs. Ella La Plant, who conducts a large room ing house at 412 Puyallup avenue, Tacoma, Wash, the other day.
 ''For the last 12 years" she con- tinued, 'I had been in terribly run down condition and during that whole time hardly day passed that didn't suffer from awful headaches. I had no appetite at all and what little I forced down would ferment in my stomach and distress me for hours. My kidneys were out of order and worried me night and day and my nerves were so unstrung that, after go- ing to bed, any little sound, even the rustling of a newspaper, would wake me with start and it would be some time before I could drop off to sleep again. I had very large house to look after and I was so weak and miserable that couple of hours work would exhaust me so that I'd just have to quit for the rest of the day The fact is, loss of sleep and lack of nourishment had undermined my nerv- ous system and was just wearing my self out
 'T spent all the money I had on medicines and treatments that did me no good, and I had about given up hope of ever getting well, when I be- gan to read about the good Tanlac was doing others and I thought I might as we'll try it. We'll sir, the way I began to pick up right after starting on it, surprised even me, for after ex. perience with other medicines I did not expect such quick results. My ap- petite is just fine-too fine, the way prices are now-for I feel hungry most all the time. My kidneys don't worry me at all now, and I am rid of that terrible backache at last. Those awful headaches are all gone, too, which is grand relief, besides, sleep all night like a child and feel so strong and rested when I get up in the mornings, that I don't mind at all the work have to do in looking after 62-room house full of people. My father is now taking Tanlac and says he is just feeling fine"

JEROME MINE REOPEN SOON

JEROME, May 13-James s. Doug las of the United Verde Extension returned last evening from a brief visit to the southern part of the state which embraced short visits to Bisbee and Douglas. The journey gave rise to rumor that the company was in- tending to resume operations here in the course of a week or two.
 When interviewed this morning, tho official stated that the rumor was all together without authoritative sane tion, but intimated that the opening of he big copper producers was not far distant He re fused to hazard an estimate as to the probable date of the resumption Of production, stating that the preliminary arrangements were entirely too indefinite to justify an announcement at this time
 An interesting development has arisen with the probability of the mines reopening in the question as to labor supply. While in various sec tions of the state there is a surplus of labor, the majority of the unem- ployed are not miners, most of this class having emigrated to Nevada and the Texas oil. fields, A cursofy can vass of the situation, however,, leads observers to entertain the opinion that this phase will be readily over come with the first call for orkmen for the local properties.
