PROCLAMATION

America is responding in a char
acteristically generous manner to the
appeal for the relief of war-ridden
and famine-stricken Armenians and
other races in the Near East. The
magazines and papers have reported
the UNPARALLELED distress and perse-
cutions of these people, and the
knowledge that these races will be
practically exterminated unless aid
ed, has caused united effort in their
behalf. Under the supervision OF our
Government united drive is now
being made and will be continued UNI
til the 18th of this month for the re-
lief of these peoples.
Nogales has made. a record during
the war, of which we are all proud.
Our boys in Service have shown
themselves brave and self-sacrific-
ing, and the civilians at home have
participated in all the drives and
war work in which their support has
been asked. Nogales has been over
the top time after time in war work.
We cannot refuse now to join in the
general effort for the benefit of
these races. They have suffered un-
der greater prosecutions and endured
more extreme hardships than any
other peoples during the World War.
The Turkish Nation has again merit
ed the name of the "Unspeakable
Turk" in their fiendish efforts to ex-
terminate these peoples, and only
the generous aid of America can pre-
vent the success of those efforts.
We in Nogales must again contrib
ute our small part toward the glori-
GUS total of Americas bounty. Know
ing the record of the people of No
gales, am sure that it is only nee
essary for me to call this work of
saving human life to the attention
of the people of Nogales, and at the
request of the leaders in this work,
and in common with the Governor of
our State and the Mayors of the 9TH
or cities, 1, George H. Fielder, Mayo
of the Town of Nogales, Arizona, by

STATEMENT FROM BANKS
February II, 1919

February IL, 1919.
At meeting held on the 10th in
slant, all of the banks of Nogales,
have adopted the rule that from and
after March 1, 1919, they will not,
when purchasing County warrants of
Santa Cruz County, pay more than
ninety (903o) per cent of the face
value of such warrants, and not more
than ninety six (969o) per cent of
the face value of warrants of the
Town of Nogales, Arizona.
The Banks were obliged to take
this action by reason of the large
debts which the County and Town are
now carrying and the likelihood that
neither of those municipal corpora
tions will be able in the near future
to liquidate the floating Indebtedness
which they are now carrying.

THE LATEST WORD
FROM BACA FLOAT
GRANT SETTLERS.
WHAT is JUSTICE?

The residents of the Baca Float
No. 3, have applied to the various
departments of the government for
advice, concerning their rights to the
lands of the Baca Float. The fol-
lowing is the advice given:
Watts selected the land on June
II, 1863, he attempted to change the
location on April 80, 1866 and the
land department allowed the change
but on July 25, 1899 the land depart
ment reversed the ruling and decid-
ed the former location of June II,
1868 was the true one and the other
was void. The claim known as the
Baca Float No. was pending before
the land department from the date
of location shortly after the passage
of the act of June 21, 1860 until the
decision rendered November 2, 1914,
by the Supreme Court of the United
IN the case of Lane, Secretary of the
Interior VS.. Watts.
In that decision the Supreme Court
held that title under the grant vested
in the grantees in 1864, and that the
Land Department had no further
jurisdiction over the land. The deci-
sion left controversies between the
claimants and other adverse claim
ants open to further litigation or
settlement between the parties hem
selves, "The government has already ,
passed title to the land to the gran
tees and relief can only be obtained
at this time through legislation by
congress-"
For fifty one years after the first
decision filings were accepted by the
government and patents were issued
in many instances during this time.
The settlers had paid their money
IN good faith and had spent their
hves and fortunes in improving the
places SO that they would be fit
place to live. But the decision Of
November 2, 1914, deprived them IF
all their rights to the land. Now
many of them are old and worn out
but they must go elsewhere TO be-
gin anew. This picturesque little
valley was once happy prosperous
place but now it is a place almost
without inhabitants. Many houses
are vacated and much land unculti-
waited where once peace and prosperi-
ty reigned supreme.
Many settlers were elected from
their homes by officers in obedience
to the command of the court. One
widow who had patent to her land
and had reared family on it, was
elected by the officers and her house
hold goods were hauled out and
dumped out upon the public high
way during a rainy day. In their
declining years when they have
neIther strength nor ambition to be-
gin lie anew. When poor man
with a dependent family finds him
self without help or means of help
ing himself is it a wonder that rea
son leaves him?

COPENHAGEN, Denmark, Jan
13.-Advices from Berlin state thai
kilograms received there from
Bucharest are to the effect that a
revolutionary demonstration has
broken out in Rumania, and the
revolutionists bombarded the royal
palace in Bucharest, the capital.
The royal family attempted to es-
cape to Jassy, but were prevented
by revolutionary workmen who at

tent of which are not reported. The

One account states that troops sue

PARIS, Feb. 13.-It is reported
that the League of Nations Commit
tee of the Peace Conference in to-
days meetings is considering a prop
osition to insert into the Constitu-
tion of the League provision estab-
fishing an international military and
naval police force under the Leagues
direction.
1t is understood that the French
introduced the plan and that British
and American delegates are opposing
it.
1t is this proposition that the
French are said to be hoping to get
inserted into the Constitution as an
amendment after President Wilson
has departed for America, if they can
prevent adoption of the Constitution
before he leaves. Mr.. Wilson has
favored adoption of an economic
boycott, which would be operated
against any recalcitrant nation by all
the nations in the League, which
would quickly bring to terms any
country attempting to force issues
with another whether a member of
the League or not; and his influence
toward that plan has been a strong
force toward heading the committee
that way. The French delegates are
reported as hoping to undo his work
after he has sailed for America, If
they can delay adoption of the Con-
stitution as practically agreed.

EXPERT OPTICIANS
HAVE LOCATED
IN NOGALES

The caption of this article is the
name of a new establishment that
has located in Nogales, Arizona, un-
der management of Mr.. M. A.
Wuerschmidt, an experienced worker
in the business, who may be found
with the Nogales Jewelry Company,
in the Jund Building, 239 Morley
Avenue.
The new enterprise fills a long
felt want in the business life of No
gales, and adds new industry to the
expanding list of producers that is
becoming feature of the place.
Every year sees the town adding
new industries, all showing q
tendency to the growing metropoli-
tan distinction the town is assuming.
The enterprise now established by
Mr.. Wuerschmidt is the very hall
mark of metropolitanism; and IL
may be said to mark a new depar-
ture in the commercial and business
activities of the line city.
At great expense elaborate lens
grinding machinery is being Install
ed by Mr.. Wuerschmidt to give No
gales the most complete optical es-
tablishment in Arizona.
Accompanying him and associated
with Mr.. Wuerschmidt in the new
enterprise in the capacity of examin-
ing Optometrist is DR.. L. Skinner,
who for number of years was with
the Arizona Hospital at Tucson in
his professional capacity. Previous
ly DIR. Skinner was prominent in op-
tical work in Los Angeles. He is a
capable, highly trained specialist in
his line who has devoted a life time
Of research and conscientious effort
to his profession.
Nogales is fortunate in thus hav-
ing established here a modern opti-
cal establishment such as is found in
the largest cities. 1t will no longer
be necessary to send away for any
thing optical. Glasses will be proper
ly fitted and manufactured on the
premises. In addition full optical
stock of goggles, sun glasses, field
glasses, binoculars and all optical
items will be continually carried.
Dr. Skinner is also accompanied
by his wife and both of the gentle
men are so well impressed with the
future of Nogales that they will
probably build homes here.

IS THE DECLARATION OF
MAYOR Ole HANSON The
VICTOR IN STRIKE WAR
QUELLED BY COURAGE.
STRIKE LEADER AULT LTMAN CONTRARY

4 SEATTLE, Vast, Feb. 13.-Toda,
Mayor Ole Hanson of Seattle, in
copyrighted statement to the United
Press, said positively that the Seat
tie strike was a disguised attempt
at revolution; and the the striker.
who followed their self constituted
anarchist leaders now realize hoa
dangerously they were misled.
Mayor Hanson declared that the
reason violence had not occurred was
when strikers "came in droves" to
the police station they saw determin-
ed men, ready with rifles and a ma
chine gun, manned by an American
Ace, heading his company, and ready
for any emergency. "They came,
they saw, and fear conquered"
Mr.. Hanson declared that "the en-
tente openly, although covertly an
nounced, for overthrowing the indus
trial system here, first then with
this operation successful they hoped
to push spread of the movement
everywhere in the United States"
He declared that "Seattle has been
piled more with Socialistic propa-
ganda than any Russian city," He
added that "after the strike had been
called, the radicals, beginning TO
show their colors more frankly, ad-
vanced proposal to take over all
private, and municipal industry; and
the proposition was actually put to
a vote in the strike council, where it
missed adoption by a narrow mar
gin only" The mayor protested that
the "strike was threat, challenge,
a revolutionary dictum."
/. The mayor declared that 'the
strike failed because ninety per cent
of the workers came to their senses
and refused to follow further their
false, anarchist leaders, prophets Of
evil, and planners of sedition."
Addressing meeting of the Labor
Council this evening, Ben D. Ault-
man, chairman of the general strike
committee declared that the reason
there was no violence during the
strike was that organized labor
knows, how to behave itself, and that
we had police force of our own
which used nothing but common
sense"
Mr.. Aultman declared that
Mayor Hanson promised to refrain
from running the municipal street
car lines during the strike if the
strikers would permit operation of
the light and water plants; but that
Hanson failed to keep his promise.
Mr. .Aultman declared further that
"the strike has shown the American
Federation of Labor that they will
nave to step up a little, and the radi-
Gals that they will have to step back
a little"

MAN LEAVES BICYCLE
AFTER ACC0STING GIRL

While returning to her home at
Sancome av.. Tuesday night, Miss
Dorothy Sable was accOsted by a
strange man on S Walnut ST. The
man rode a bicycle. and he left the
wheel at the curb as he ran toward
Miss Sable.
AS soon as she saw him coming to-
ward her. Miss Sable called for help.
and her cries apparently frightened
the man, for he turned and ran. for
getting to take his bicycle with him.
AS soon as she could reach a tele-
phone Miss Sable notified the po-
lice. However. all the policemen
could find was the strange mans BIZ
cycle against the curb near where
its owner started toward Miss Sable.
The bicycle is at police headquarters
where the owner can have it, police
say
