would testify as to the conspiracy case, they knew nothig of the Kidnapping case. The county attorney added that he had already regarded all inquiry as to the conspiracy charge as futile
 The justice then asked a resident of this city, Hugh King. living on East Washington street, if he had been called before the grand jury. Mir King replied that he had been subpoenaed put had not been called. His testi- mony, it was understood, would relate to the Kidnapping case.
 Thereupon Justice Wheeler denied the motion to dismiss and fixed the bail of the two defendants upon whom warrants had been served. Mir Bull | lard then proceeded to addfess the court and got so far as to speak of | Democrats and Republicans when the justice said that it was not a political | question at all and he did not care to hear of that aspect of the case. It was then that Mir. Bullard announced that the preliminary examination would be | waived.
 In the course of his remarks deny ire the motion of County Attorney
 L.aney. Justice Wheeler said that in
 many respects the case had taken the same course as the Boido case. which had been forced before the grand jury and had there been ignored. But the | investigation of the case was continued by his office and year later sufficient
 evidence was found to bring the de
 fendant to justice and secure his con viction.
 The events complained of in these cases occurred in June of last year MT. Mann said that while he was cir I Qrr1affnv tho rnForo,Hfrrr, h

NAVY LAUNCHES NEW
 CAMPAIGN FUR MEN

The secretary of the navy has an- nounced that he has directed a special campaign to fill up the remaining va cancies in the rangs of the enlisted personnel of the navy by offering spe- cial inducements.
 Notwithstanding the fact that the navy is now recruiting more men than ever before, except in war time, the realization that the navy man in peace time is the one who must be qualified to defend the country in the first line of battle in war has resulted in the navy never consenting to lower its high standard of men.
 The secretary of the navy announces that there are9,56S young men study ing specialties in navy schools. From these men will be drawn the skilled spe- cialist of the navy. There are left 4, TOO vacancies, and these have been thrown open to young men of the coun- try and civil life. These schools were | formerly kept for previous service men new policy has developed, so those who like foreign travel will be given an opportunity 10 see the world. | The navy sCrools are paying specia attention to physical developments and the latest statistics show an average gain of ten pounds in weight in foul | months and gratifying increases In height and chest development.
 The secretary.of the navy states thai an office has been established in Wash ington to look out for the mems wei fare and special attention is being giveI this subject by the navy departmen and the commanders-in in- chief

the complaining witness very closely and had looked into the evidence which Mir. Mann said he would produce. The evidence as to the kidnapping. the coun- ty attorney said, was not corroborative and he did not believe that the case, as to that charge. would stand against a demurrer.
 As to the conspiracy case. Mir. Laney said that notwithstanding any evil dence there might be in support of the allegations as to the facts complained of. in the circumstances 1t was impos- sible that a crime could have been committed. It Is charged in the com plaint. he pointed out. that the de- fendants conspired with one another to "obstruct the due administration of the law" What law?" he inquired The only law was the land lease law against which the complaining witness was proposing to file referendum The supreme court. however, has held he said, that the law being an emer- gency measure was not subject to tho referendum, so that it's status could mol have been affected by the filing of tho referendum petition or by any of the alleged acts of the defendants. Ther' had therefore been no obstruction bl them of the law. he stated.
 The county attorney stated that tho matter had been laid by him befor' the grand jury a little less than a year ago. but that body had taken no actior relative to 1t. In conclusion the coun ty attorney said that he felt too grea pride in his profession as an attornel to go into court with so fragile case He then offered his motion to dismiss
 Justice Wheeler asked Mir. Laney 1 he had examined in the grand Jur. , all the witnesses whose names ha' been given him by the complaininI witness. He replied that all of then but two had been examined. The. were residents of Cochise county am | he had ascertained that while the,
