Sheriff Sends for Evidence to Connect Murderer With
 Phoenix Crime

PHOENIX, July 21.-Alleged simil- arity between the murder of Roy Trapp, a rancher at Fullerton, Calif., with a hammer, and the murder of MT. and Mrs. Jacob Erhardt here on the night of June 6, caused Sheriff John Montgomery of Maricopa county to telegraph to Sheriff c. E. Jackson of Orange county, California, for fin ger prints of Nose Gibson. negro. Press dispatches have said Orange county officials have what they say is a confession from Gibson that he killed Trap and assaulted Mrs. Trapp.
 Sheriff Montgomery acted after having received a letter from Charles Wright, formerly of Phoenix but now in business in Fullerton. Wright wrote that the crimes were so similar in some respects as to worth investi- gation from that angle. MT. and Mrs. Erhardt were attacked in their home in West Phoenix by man armed with Q hammer and were so beaten on the head that they died.
 Jesus Maria Barboa was arrested near Patagonia soon after the Err hardt murders and was brought to Phoenix. Under questioning, he ad- mitted, according to officials, that he killed the Erhardts. Barboa was taken to the state penitentiary at Florence, Ariz., for safe keeping, pending trial.
 Since his arrest doubts as to his sanity have arisen.

 CANAL INTO
 EXISTENCE

ROME, May 5 (by Associated Press) Don Gelasio Caetani, a brother of Prince Caetani, the American-trained engineer, who laid the mine which blew the top off the mountain, Col di Lana during the war, burying several hundreds of Austrian soldiers be- meath it, has just dynamited Q canal into existence from Lake Caprolace to the Mediterranean Sea.
 The work was undertaken under direction of the Prince, also known as the Duke of Sermoneta, head of the Caetani family, in the Pontine Marsh, near the Dukes vast estate of Cister- ma. forty miles from Rome.
 The Pontine marshes constitute the swampy forest country which stretches between the Roman Cam pagna and Terracina, a region which the prince has labored for years to reclaim. On the seashore of this btIduSc RO1Cd4IC IGSlOu LuGIS oA C lakes or lagoons, called Fogliano, Monaci and Caprolace, communicating with each other, into which at high tide all kinds of fish find their way, remaining there to breed and fatten for the Roman market, to which every day some ten to forty hundredweight are shipped. Only one, that of Fog liano, is directly connected with the sea, and in order to unite that of Cap rolace with the neighboring Mediter- ranean, and to greatly increase the yield of fish, Prince Caetani decided to explode a series of mines so as to form a canal between this lake and the sea.
 The undertaking took fifty tons of explosives and 1900 large bombs or five times as much as was required to destroy the mountain top. It was successful, opening a channel to the sea.

NEW LIGHT ON
 DISORDERS IN < FOLD IRELAND

DUBLIN, May (by Associated Press) ).-An article entitled Guerilla Warfare" which sheds new light on assassinations in Ireland, had been discovered in the effects of Paul John Vignoiss of Cork, recently tried by court-martial and sentenced to six months imprisonment 'for having in his possession an issue of the official organ of the Irish Volunteers"
 Tt is duty of Volunteers to recog- nize in all their plans, in methods of training and study, and in their gen. eral outlook, the existence of this state of gueralli warfare and all that it implies" says the article, which has been made public in an official communication. Ut is our business to develop those guerilla tactics which we have found most serviceable in dealing with actual conditions in Ire land at present, and to bring them to the highest pitch of perfection of which they are capable. It is our busi- ness to wage war against the forces of the invaders whenever and however we find it can be done most effectively.
 "Of all forms of small wars, that most dreaded by imperialist armies of conquest is prolonged guerilla warfare in which they are unable to obtain a moments security nor gain any oppor- tunity of effectively crushing their foe. Particularly do they dread the adoption of well-organized guerilla tao tics by civilized foe of keen 1ntell1- gence and courage. Surprises, am- bushes, raids on their fortified posi- tions, sniping of their stragglers, the capturing of their arms and equipment, interruption of their communications, interference with their intelligence, are to be apprehended by them daily, and their forces are driven more and more into the positions of invested garrisOns in the midst of a hostile country, afraid to venture from their strongholds except in force, living in a state of perpetual apprehension. That such a state of affairs exists in Ireland at present is obvious to all, and it is the business of the Irish Volunteers to see to it that 1t con- tinues to grow more intense and more menacing to the invaders"

CAMBRIDGE, May 5 (by Associat- ed Press) Joseph Barcroft, 8 reader of physiology at Kings College here, has lived for six days ;n |. hermeti- cally sealed glass box.
 The experiment arose cut of 8 3O- year old controversy as to whether 1t is possible to calculate the amount of oxygen in the blood from a knowledge of the amount of oxygen in the breath. The test was also made to demon strate whether it was necessary that airmen should have oxygen apparatus when flying at great heights. It proved that oxygen was necessary to flying men but it did not show to what height they could fly with safe ty to the aviators.
 While in the box Barcroft kept a record of his sensations and made scientific observations. He said he suffered from sl6eplessness but other wise did not experience much incon- venience except on the last day, when the atmosphere became extremely rarified He then had headaches and nausea. He was watched continually while in the box. He took food and slept in two small compartments fitted up with wicker chairs, Q table, a small bed and a bicycle on which he exercised every morning.

 "We of France are individualists," she said. we live within ourselves and our own people, and that makes it doubly hard for the French girls who have left their homes and families. Not that they do not love their hus- bands, to be sure, but they miss their people"
