early in 1915, according to documen-

Mexican situation. This was support
ed by testimony of John A. Walls, dis
trict attorney at Brownville, Texas;
L. R. Barnes, in charges of the United
States army intelligence work along
the border during the war, and other
witnesses.
The committee obtained from them
and from documentary evidence in

raiding parties carried out under the
provisions of the "plan of San Diego"

T. B. Altendorf, Pole, who was in
the intelligence service of the Ameri-

was largely responsible for the arrest
of the German spy, Witstke, now a
prisoner at Fort Sam Houston, Texas,
was on the stand long enough to iden-
tify Mario Mendez, director of tele-
graphs in Mexico. as one of those
whom Minister Won Eckhardt kept on
his payroll during the war. Altendorf
said Mendez' job was to see that
copies of all messages from the United
States bearing on military affairs were
delivered to the German legation.

The Hague.-There is every indica-
ton here the Dutch government will
refuse the Allied demand for extradi-
ton Of the former Kaiser.
There are excellent reasons to be-
lieve, it was learned in official quar-
tiers that the government will base its
refusal upon certain clauses in The
Netherlands constitution and special
treaties.
The Dutch reply probably will point
out that article four of the constitu-
ton assures every person, whether Of
Dutch or foreign birth, the same rights
of protection. This fact, it was said.
probably will dominate the reply to
the Supreme Councils note. The prin-
ciple was established firmly by law
revised in 1886.
Crime Must Be Enumerated.
In addition, to conform with the law
Of 1886, Holland concluded treaties
with France in 1895, England in 1898
and the United States in 1887, that
every demand for extradition must be
treated according to these treaties
The first condition is that the crime
for which extradition is demanded
must be enumerated in these treaties
and laws.
The Dutch reply, it was believed,
will point out that the alleged offenses,
with which the kaiser is charged, are
not mentioned in any Of these treaties.
The Dutch reply may also hint that
forcing Of extradition by the Allies
would be committing one Of the same
crimes Of which they accuse William
Hohenzollern.
Considerable relief has been ex-
pressed tina the United States did not
sign the demand. The Dutch public
generally, it was said, is solidly behind
the government and believes the AL
lies, recognizing Holland cannot COM
ply to their demands, will abandon the
idea of an international trial.

CH|NA'S SILVER DEMAND
 STEADIES N. '. MARKET

The Financial Review of New York says that the silver market remains almost stationary around 94 1-2 cents New York, foreign origin; and London at 59 1-2 to 60 pence. This might be interpreted as a weak situation, but this is hardly the opinion of leading bullion brokers. The Shanghai (China) rate is stronger and supplies at that center are smaller despite re- cent large shipments. In this country the Mint has secured more than $15,- 300,000 ounces at $1 1,00 under the Pitt man act.
 In Europe Switzerland, Holland, Germany and Austria Hungary are accommodating silver at a rather rapid rate. For the past three weeks in creased silver reserves of the national banks of these countries amount to nearly $1,000,000. Germany alone has created reserve of $1,S29,750 against that of $S60,000 three months ago. Total silver held by the four countries mentioned is S3S,984, ,750. The more prominent European count ries, England and France, have been losing both gold and silver in the same period. Total gold holdings of all European banks last week were $2,9O5 5,975 ,955, against $2,915,S21,67 one week previous. Gold holdings of England and France will probably show much more pronounced decrase during the next three weeks.
 In the New York market buyers for foreign origin silver exceeded the sellers. Bids were around 94 cents, but the offerings even at 95 1-2 were small. The strong Shanghai market has tended to maintain this level at New York.
 The Indian market has remained the weak spots in the silver situation but the exports season of that country and China as we'll opens in October and bullion dealers are waiting for possible increased demand in this di- rection.
 The Federal Reserve statement of silver and gold imports and exports for the first 10 days of Sept. show silver deliveries of $2,392, ,909 to China and $31O,332 to Hong Kong. Total silver exports, Jan to Sept. 10, a. mount to $94,959, ,105 and imports of $6S, ,633,12 Mexico consigned $955,- S7S to this country in the To-day Sept. period. The gold statement shows no shipments so far in Sept. to either China or India, but Hong Kong re- ceived $295,275 and Japan $5,211 ,28S. Total gold received this year, $165,- 921,3s5. Total gold exports $24s,- | 454, ,468.

CURSES GOVERNOR WHO WOULD L|BERATf HIM

Having served 15 years in the state penitentiary, James Waters, former resident of Globe was released from the state institution this week, ac- cording to word received in the county seat this morning. Waters, who was to have served an indeterminate sen- tence of from 25 years to life, had his sentence commuted by former Gov- ernor G. w. P. Hunt. The notifica- tion of the convict was dramatically arranged, and the manner in which the news was received was widely commented upon at the time.
 According to witnesses, Governor Hunt entered the cell occupied by Waters, and slapping the convict jo- vially upon the back exclaimed: "I have brought you something nice. Look at this!" handing Waters the notification that 10 years, had been Topped from his sentence.
 The convict read the formal docu- ment slowly and then, his face purp- ling, he tore the communication to shreds, consigned the donor to the warmer regions and cursed him very roundly. The ceremonies ended abruptly. Waters conduct, it is said was due to the fact he had expected immediate release.
 The man was sent to the peniten- tiary for an alleged attempt upon the life of Richard LoWthian, in 1915. Lowthian, at that time was city mar shal of Globe.
 Waters, who was drunk at the time entered the marshalps office, accord ing to the evidence introduced at his trial, and opened fire upon LoWthian who was seated at a table writing
 The first shot pierced the marshaPs arm, as the latter jumped up to get his gun, which was at the opposite end of the room.
 Lowthian's life was saved by his sister who was standing at small counter waiting for her brother to accompany her home. At the first shot she began beating Waters over the head with parasol she had in her hand, so disconcerting his aim that three subsequent shots missed the marshal. Lowthian reached his gun and whirling, fired, the first shot knocking his assailants' pistol from his hand. Three more shots pierced Waters body before the man pitched forward to the floor.
 The trial and conviction of the man were marked by a score of dramatic events, each of which would furnish material for story, and which form the subject of many of the tales still related by the pioneers.-Miami Bull letin

THE FEDERAL RESERVE
 BOARD DENIES REPORT

Wide circulated reports that the Federal Reserve Board had classed automobiles with "non-essentials" and ordered member banks to restrict the financing of automobile accounts were emphatically denied by Gov. William P. G. Harding at the meet. ing in Cleveland of credit and adver- Using sections of the Motor and Ac- cessary Manufacturers Association.
 The unmistakable terms used by Gov. Harding in denying the errone- ous reports will have most benefic- ial effect upon the automobile indus try, says the B. F. Goodrich Rubber Co. Now that the exact attitude of the reserve board has been clearly stated, the industry can go ahead without being hampered by unwar- ranted restrictions.
 ''Nothing has been done by the Fed eral Reserve Board" said Gov. Hard ing, "that reflects in any manner up on one of the greatest industries m the country. It would be a serious thing for any body of men to attack or to attempt to destroy a business as firmly rooted and having as many elements of essentially as the auto motive industry. So far as the Fed eral Reserve Board is concerned, no such attempts have been or will be made"
 MT. Harding said that the disSem- ination of the reports that the board had ruled against the industry were probably due to the natural reluc- tance of some bankers to say no to an applicant for credit when it might mean the loss of an account. On in vestigation, he said, it had been found that many bankers had followed the lines of least resistance and nad "passed the Buck" to the Federal ke- serve Board.
 Although Gov. Harding said that "conservation" would be the order of the day for some time to come, he as sured the association of the natiohs s sound and healthy condition.
 "Business generally is looking for ward" he said, "I feel that we are on much firmer foundation than we were seven or eight months ago. The country is recovering from the late era of extravagance. We must keep our heads and do business along safe and conservative lines and everything will turn out all right"

UNDER-BAY ROUTE

Admiral Jayne, of the United States navy has proposed a tube
 route between San Francisco and Oakland, doing away with the annoy ing ferry route. It is purposed to make cutoff to Goat Island, thence to San Francisco by tube. This is be- lieved to be one of the problems that will have to soon be solved to make better intercomunication between the two cities. Oakland is the city of homes and San Francisco is the busi- ness center of the coast and the inter- course of the two cities will be better ed by tunnel or tube under the bay.

Mohave County miner and our mineral wealth., 1920-10-02

I do not mean to say that I will debate this question with some orators hired by Simms or the land grabbers, but will state my own case, and want the people of this state to hear from the lips of my opponent, all he has to say in justification of his course. When they have heard from both of us. am willing to let themN judge as to which of us they wish to trust for the next two years.
