Soldiers Of five wars have been

nominated for place in the hall
of fame of the American forestry
association at Washington by Mrs. Fl.
f. Lewis, secretary of Virginia for
the Daughters Of the American Rev

Pemberton mustered his troops for
the battle of Kings Mountain. A
marker has been placed on the tree
by the Sycamore Shoals chapter. says
the American Forestry Magazine, in
making the announcement. The SOL
diers Of the War of 1912 met here.
Then came the Mexican war and the
old tree saw men again leave their
homes to fight. Next came the
struggle between the states, and the
oak witnessed the drilling of men to
fight one another in their own coun-
try. Then came the world war and
again the veteran oak saw our boys
answer their united country's call.

WHO STOLE THE MONEY.
Supreme Court Pays High Tribute to
 Nogales Attorneys.
(Citizen Capital Bureau)

Phoenix, April 29.-The ques- tion of who stole the money from grandmother'S pillow in the famous case of the state against Esperanza Leon, has been solv- Judge w. A. O'Connor, who tried the case in Nogales, has been sustained.
 Esperanza Leon was convicted of the crime of receiving stolen goods, knowing them to have been stolen. The property in question consisted of $32OO in currency which was taken from the home of Dolores de Velen zuela, by her granddaughter, Rosa Rabago, who turned it over to the Leon woman.
 The novel defense was set up that. if credence was to be given to the testimony of the grand daughter, then the defendant was guilty of larcency itself, and could not be convicted of the crime of receiving stolen prop erty.
 The grand daughter was the sole witness testifying to the commission of the alleged crime. She told how the Leon woman shortly after moving into an ad joining house urged her to look for money in her grandmother's house, and not to cease looking for it until she found it, and if she found any to bring it to her, ] the defendant, so that she could

keep it for her in the event that the grand daughter was run out of the grandmother's house.
 In presenting arguments on appeal Frank J. Barry, S. F. Noon and Warren Lee Kinder, counsel for the defendant, in- sisted that there was a variance between the allegations in the information and the proof. The argument was made that, ad- hitting that the testimony of the girl was true, it showed the defendant was guilty of larceny and not of receiving stolen prop erty; that the defendant could not be charged with one offense and convicted upon evidence es- tablishing another.
 In the opinion of the supreme court, written by Judge Baker and concurred in by the other two members of the court, the matter is strengthened out by re- lying on the following rule of law;
 As an elementary principle, if larceny by the defendant be proved, ,. though the offender ap- pear only to be principal in the second degree, the charge of re- ceiving falls, because the offenses are bstantially distinct and be- cause there can be no guilty re- ception unless there be a prior stealing by another. But this reasoning fails, when on an in- r tranSpireS to show that the de- fendant was also accessory be- fore the fact. The offenses are so distinct that one cannot be said to merge into the other, nor is conviction of the one in any way incompatible with convic. tion of the other. Hence in de- fiance of such testimony the de- fendant, if there be sufficient evidence of guilty receiving, may be convicted of such receiv- ing"
 A high tribute to the counsel for the defense is paid in the closing paragraph of the opion-- ion when the court says:
 We frankly confess that the arg umonG om or aceQ In the well prepared brief of counsel for defendant upon both of the points discussed in this opinion has caused us at times to waver in our judgment, but we believe after much reflection that the conclusions reached are in &C., cord with the best interest of the law abiding public and the orderly administration of justice, and do not deprive the defendant of any legal rights"
 The state was represented in this case by the attorney gen eral and his assistant, l.. B. Whitney and by Leslie c. Hardy, county attorney of Santa Cruz county.

position is not so ridiculous as geographical considerations and | physical facts may suggest. i There is a close analogy be tween the theory of our govern ment and that of the Mexican government. The states of our Union are supposed to have cer- tain rights which the Federal Government may not violate. Under the two Constitutions which have been adopted in Mexico, the first one was pro mulgated by Benito Juarez, and the second as a part of the Plan of Guadalupe, was prOfessedly accepted by Carranza. Each of the sta tes of the Republic is a sovereign entity, supreme in it's own affairs
 No citizen of the United States need be told that our govern ment has become more and more ! cen ntralized, or that the Federal authorities have been uSurping the rights of the state more and more during the last few years. ! But what have the states of our | Union done to protect their rights? A few of them have protested but that is about all. Many of them have aided direct | ly in the usurpation process; or at least, their rights have been surrendered to tbe Federal Gov ernment by their legislatures.
 Now, suppose Sonora were a member of our Union; that the | Federal Government undertook to dictate to the state how it should conduct it's internal af fairs, and sent armed forces to see to it that the state complied. and that Sonora, to protect her state rights, resorted to arms to repel the invaders. Of course there would be great excite ment in this country. Although the state's cause would be just there | would be a great question as to it's rights to resort to arms. Ali ter our Civil War experience, the state would doubtless appeal to a competent court for protec tion. For, while our ConStitu- tion confers certain rights upon tEe states which the Federal Government may not violate, it does not provide that the states may resort to arms to protect itself or their rights.
 Herein does the Mexican con stitution differ from ours. Yet the difference is not one of prin- ciple; it concerns method alone, which is merely matter of de tail. The Mexican Constitut ticn con templates just such action as the State of Sonora has taken. One might say that Sonora should appeal to a competent Mexican court, as it would most likely do were it a member of our Union. But from the stand point of justice there is no com petent court in Mexico to which Sonora could appeal it's cause. There may be in theory but the theory of stitutional govern ment in Mexico has long since been abandoned by Carranza.
 It is not a theory, but condi- tion that confronts the state of Sonora. Her rights, as guaran teed by the constitution, have been violated and in a most vio- lent way. She has no civil re- course. for the courts are con- trolled by the man whose uncon- stitutional acts and methods she is resisting,
 Sonora is making a determin ed effort to protect state rights, to safeguard principle which too many of the states of our Union have let go by the board.
