A GERMAN VICTORY
IN UPPER sILES|A
SECURED ONLY ABOUT
ONE FOURTH OF VOTE IN
RECENT PLeRlscITE.
AREA IS 1900 SQUIRE miles
Election win Go Down in History as
a MomeHtous Event in Adjustment
of European Boundaries.

Berlin.-GeI1nany won an over
wheIming victory in plebiscite held
in Upper Silesia to determine the fu-
ture national status Of that region, &C
cording to official returns received
here. Two districts were still missing
at O'Clock the morlng after, but the
count showed that $4,000 votes hau
bcan cast for Germany and $4,000
for Poland.
Reports from Breslau state that the
plebiscite was generally without I'M
toward incidents.
Palm Sunday, the day of the voting
in upper Silesia, seems likely to go
down in history as one Of the most
momentous days in the adjustment OF
European boundaries growing out OF
the world war The day had been
looked forward to with intense inter
est by all Germany and Poland as
we'll, while evidences of worldwide
attention upon the balloting were not
lacking in advices from abroad.
The area involved, comprising. some
five thousand square miles, was the
largest section of territory to have
its fate submitted to plebiscite un'
der peace treaty, but even more i'm
portant than the size of the district
was the material wealth contained in
its varied mineral resources, mainly
coal, but also including iron, zinc and
lead.

WILL SMITH IN TROUBLE.

Tucson, May.-Fire, originat- ing in w. R. Smiths machine when some straw used in the packing of a number of bottles of tequila about the engine caught fire. resulted in severe damage to his car, and his arrest on a charge of transporting in- toxicating liquor.
 Smith, who is a resident of Nogales and well known locally, entered plea of not guilty at his arraiRnment in the superior court yesterday evening, and has been released under $500 bond.
 Officers. federal, city and coun- ty, who had been called to the Olcott garage in response to a fire alarm at about o'clock yes terday afternoon, found upon their arrival that Studebaker , passenger touring car had caught fire.
 Investigations followed the extinguishing of the blaze by the fire department, led to the dis covery by Police Officer Urey Ford of three quarts of tequila on the running DOarQ unQ6r 8 a wrecked fender which Smith had placed over the liquor while the fire was raging.
 When his attention was called to the discovery of these three quarts, Deputy Louis Ezeckiels of the sheriff's office, opened the hood of the car, disclosing in doing so, 20 more bottles care fully packed about the engine with straw.
 Smith is alleged to have infor- med officers that he had just got into Tucson from NogaleS and was travelling up Sixty street when he noticed smoke issuing from the engine. He made the nearest garage, the Olcott, in time to avoid burst of flame which set fire to the top and up- holstery.
 Damages incurred by the blaze amounted to total destruction of the top and upholstery of both front and back seats, all of which was covered by insurance,

MAVERICK" AND "DOGtE"

Col. George w. Saunders, president of the Old Trail Driv- ers' Association of Texas, gives the following information with reference to the origin of the terms maverick" and dogie":
 "The Maverick family, early settlers of San Antonio, moved a large herd of cattle to this sec tion between 1850 and 1860. Dur ing the war the cattle had no attention and scattered all over south Texas. Some of them sev- eral-years old were not branded. Most of the stockmen branded their cattle, and as Maverick did not and the range got full of these big. unbranded Maverick cattle, people referred to them as Mavericks. Thus the term maverick was soon applied to big unbranded calves and year lines all over the state.
 "A very good explanation of the term 'dogie' was given when a Boston lady aske a cowboy what a dogie meant. His reply was: It is & poor little calf that it's nanny has died and it's daddy has run off with another COW.
