COUNSEL MUST FILE ON I |NE
Attorney General Issues Ultimatum to Lawyers
 Having Appeals

PHOENIX, Jan. 17.-Sharp warn ing that the state attorney generals office will not longer bear the brunt of failure of lawyers, who are coun- sel in cases in which the state or counties are interested in the su- preme court, to file abstracts of rec ord and briefs" within the time stip- ulated by the court, was issued this evening by the attorney generals of flee.
 Occasion for the warning was said to have arisen today when Assistant Attorney General Louis B. Whitney was called Def, re the state supreme court for an explanation of why the state was not ready to proceed when a case was called on the calendar as scheduled
 The attorney generals statement follows:
 "The attorney generals office will not longer bear the brunt of failure of lawyers. who are counsel in cases in which the state or counties are interested, in the supreme court, to file abstracts of record and briefs within the time provided by the law and by the rules of the supreme court.
 "In all such cases which have been appealed and where the appeals have not been diligently prosecuted, and briefs filed within the time required by law, the attorney general will, at the expiration of The time for fil- ing briefs by opposing counsel, file motion in the supreme court asking that said case be submitted upon the record and in all civil cases which are appealed from judgment in favor of the state motions will be filed asking that same be dismissed for want of prosecution"

DESCHANEL NEW
 PRESIDENT F OR FRENCH NATION
Parties Unite on Eminent Senator With Record
 of Patriotism

VERSAILLES, Jan. 17.-Paul Des- chanel was elected president of the French republic today by 734 votes of the SS9 members of the national as sembly voting. His majority was the largest since the election ot Lotus Adolphe Thiers, the first president after the fall of the empire, who was chosen unanimously.
 The result was certain since the caucus of yesterday at which Desch- anel was chosen the candidate of the senate and chamber of deputies, com prising all the various parties. The election took on the atmosphere or a patriotic manifestation.
 The feeling among the senators and deputies was that the new president should come into power with vote that would give him the necessary authority to speak impressively for France The general sentiment is that while M. Deschanel has not won the presidency by such outstanding services as those rendered by M. Clemenceau, he is man admirably adapted for the position, which re- quires careful tact, and is, above all, a safe man.
 The proceedings as provided by the constitution, were formal. However, the members of parliament and wis itors joined in a great outburst of exclamation when former Premier Briand, who is generally credited with d large share in the election of M Deschanel, declared to a group of friends France and the republic con. tinue."
 The return to Paris was watched by thousands along the route through the park of St. Cloud and the Bois du BouloSne, who cheered each car, cry ing Long live Deschanel!" and Long live the republic!"

DOUBTS R|GHT
 IF U. 5, JUDGE
 OVER BARRACKS
Clash of Authority Tinted in Trial of Military
 Prisoners

LEAVENWORTH, Kans., Jan. H. Doubt of the right of federal judge to cause an investigation of army ad- ministrative affairs was expressed to- night by Maj. Gen. James McRae, commandant of the disciplinary bar racks at Fort Leavenworth. Gen. McRae commented on the order of Federal Judge J. c. Pollock, of Kan sas City, in ordering United States Attorney Robertson to investigate a situation brought out in testimony at the trial of Il men charged with conspiracy to issue and pass fraudu- lent treasury certificates printed on press at the disciplinary barracks.
 The testimony, the court said, was either perjured, or carried severe re- flection on great department of the government" If department of justice agents come to the prison for an investigation with orders only from Judge Pollock, I intend to take the matter up with Secretary of War Baker before I permit anything to be done" said the commandant.
 "The matter about which Judge Pollock referred took place before was stationed here and I know very little about it but I can say that it has been investigated thoroughly. About a year ago there was a form of self government in the prison but that is not in force now"

HOOVER SAYS FOOD RELIEF
 WILL END REDS
Bolshevik Tyranny Will Now Collapse, Says Dictator of
 Distribution

WASHINGTON, Jan. 17.-Removal of the blockade on Soviet Russia has knocked one of their greatest props" from under the bolsheviki, Herbert Hoover said in a statement nere to- night. Speaking from his knowledge of world conditions, the former di- rector of European relief said the soviet government had laid every failure of socialism on the blockade and used it as stimulus for raising armies, on the ground that the Rus sians were fighting to save them selves from starvation. With the blockade removed in large part, MT. Hoover said, the "bolshevik tyranny" will face collapse when it fails to re- lieve suffering.
 MT. Hoover thought Russia had no commodities, wheat, flax or cotton, for export, since starvation is acute in the larger cities and the people almost in rags. The peasants were said to have sufficient food.

CARRIES SERUM TO AID
 OF POISONED
Government Sends Anti-Tox- in to Victims of Olives
 in New York

NEW YORK, Jan. 17.-Death won a double victory in a grim race with an express train and a government mail airplane tonight when two more members of the Paul Delbene family, poisoned from eating olives, died in Fordham hospital, owing to the late arrival of the special serum neces- sary. to save their lives. Hospital physicians, however, hope to save the life of the only surviving member of the family of seven, a 10-year-old girl, with serum received from Wash ington.
 Another package of serum which was being rushed eastward from Chi cago by mail airplane. failed to ar rive, the machine having been disab- led and forced to land at Black Oak, Ind The fluid was reported to have been transferred to a mail train and is expected to arrive early tomor- row.
 Had it not been for delay caused by storms it is believed that the serum brought by train from Washington. would have arrived in time to save the life of Angelo Delbene, who died tonight before the fluid could be ad- ministered. His brother, Dominick. who also died, received one injection and rallied slightly. His illness. how ever. was too Tar advanced and he lived but two hours after being treated.

DEMOCRATS TO MAKE CAMP PAICN AS AMERICANS
Original Draft of Constitution is in the Films

WASHINGTON, Jan. 17.-Re- cent activities of radical propa- gandists led Secretary Lansing this week to display for the first time in 18 years the original parchments of the Declaration of independence and the constitution of the United States.
 In the presence of group of officials, the parchments were re- moved from the protecting walls of a steel safe enclosing them and placed on view in th- stare as- partment for an hour, while mo- tion picture cameras recorded their appearance, for the benefit of the 11o,ooo,0oo persons living under the principles enunciated by them.
 Theaters from Maine to califor- nia and from the Gulf of Mexico to Canada will exhibit the films in the coming weeks in an effort "to remove from the public mind in every city, town and village any possible effects of, recent 'red' activity"

 "Bolshevism cannot be extinguish- ed by force alone. All Europe and Asia too would again be involved sooner or later. Fortunately. there has been a cold douche of common sense from Paris, for the announce ment of the restoration of commer- cial exchange is an announcement in- effect that the allies are willing to give every chance to the possibilities of Russian peace which is absolutely indispensable to general peace"

 "We are in default as to Russia. the American people are in default" Mr Root said. we nave given as- sirances of friendship TO russia, we
