PHOENIX, Feb. Il. Ratification of the woman suffrage amendment to the national constitution by the Arizona legislature which meets in special session at noon tomorrow was tonight regarded as certain by politi. ed women within the state was re cal observers at the capitol. The fact that Arizona already has enfranchis- garded as a decisive factor.
 Members of senate and house, ar irving today and tonight from all parts of the state, came with the eX- pectation of returning home within two or three days.
 Although Democratic leaders had favored including highway and pos sibly other legislation in the busi- ness of the special session, belief was expressed that no effect would be made to force an issue, in view of the fact that Governor Campbell had called the session solely for con sideration of the suffrage amendment

TRENTON, N. J. Feb. 11.-Answer- ing William J. Bryan's latest attack on him by declaring that personal llb- erty is involved in the question of pro- hibition< <and not merely the ability Of one to get drink, Governor Edwards tonight issued a statement intimating that Bryan's mysteries" about prohi- bition was simply a mask to cover an attack on Democratic National Chalr- man Cummings, who, the governor said, was a Formidable obstacle" to the Nebraskan's political designs. MT. Edwards reiterated his determination to take the matter of prohibition De- fore the Democratic national conven- tion.
 eff it be true" Governor Edwards said, "that the remote places and the wilderness are able to send enough delegates to this convention, who either blindly or stubbornly will eject from the convention those who desire for each state a doctrine of personal liberty. then this is only another indi- cation of the path along which the Democratic party is to tread In the November elections"
 The governor said that the tissue is whether the peopiU are so dead to the spirit of the constitution that they will allow their personal liberty to be taken from them" Many were indig- nigant, he said, because fanatics have laid hands upon the ark of the cove nant, the United States constitu- tion."
 "The spirit which gave us life as a country is sinking into extinction," he said.

 To Congress

WASHINGTON, Feb. II. - Denial that any group of organized labor possesses an inherent right to strike is contained in a memorial to con- gress, formulated today at the con- ference here of representatives of four large farmers organizations, the National Grange, the American Farm Bureau Federation, the Cotton States Board and the Association of State Farmers Unions presidents.
 Take Firm Stand.
 Tn view of recent events and hap penings," representatives of the four organizations said, it was agreed that the attitude of the members of their organizations on the right to strike should be made plain to con gress and to the country.
 Farmers Furnish Food.
 Pointing out that the city popula- tion of the country is dependent on the farmer for food and that inter ruption of this supply can be brought about through strikes of railroad or other transportation unions, the me morial asserts:
 "Those who believe that labor has an inherent right to organize strlke believe that such organizations have a right to starve the people of the cities. on the one hand, and to de stroy the property of the farmers on the other. No such right has eve' existed and no such rights exists now. It is economically unsound and the American people can and will work out some other method for the settlement of such controversies. No set of men has ever had the moral or legal right to destroy property or cause suffering by conspiring to- gether and the welfare of the people must ever remain superior to that of any class or group of people,

The Mexican losses never were | learned. but United States army in telligence reports were submitted to show the Mexicans buried after the l fight at least 115.

The committee also learned the details of the efforts made by the American military authorities to have brought to trial Lieutenant Azpieta for mur der of David Troib Dec. 2S, 1918, ar American soldier. He was killed on the Mexican side of the river near Fl Paso.

WASHINGTON. Feb. II. - Failing to reach an agreement with the rep resentatives of the more than 2.O0O.- 900 railroad employees on demands for increased wages, Director General Hines decided tonight to submit the whole case to President Wilson for decision.
