Says They Must Obey

Question has arisen as to whether
Miller can compel the Governor and
two Senators to appear as witnesses.
Miller contends that they must obey
subpoenaes or be In contempt Of
court
Another lawyer declared there is
a statute which makes It impossible
to compel witness to go from one
county to another in cases of this
nature. United States Senators are
immune from arrest under certain
circumstances.
Miller declared he would use every
legal weapon at his command to get
the Governor and two Senators to
the trial.
The arson case grew out of the
fire at Stephenson former home,
6432 University Ave-, April II, 1925.
The State charges that Stephenson
and his associates conspired to burn
the house as move to make it ap-
pear that he was the victim of a
plot to destroy him. The fire oc-
cured soon after Stephenson had
been arrested in the Madge Ober-
holtzer case, in which he received the
life sentence for murder

one of Stephenson's attorneys, an
nounced today.
Miller said he saw Stephenson at
the prison Tuesday about his trial
on charge of conspiracy to commit
arson, set for Nov. % in Criminal
Court here. Stephenson faces trial
with his former lieutenants, Earl
Klinck, Earl Gentry and Fred
Butler.
Stephenson said he would testify
in this trial without reserve" Mil
Ter said
'I asked him several questions
which I will put to him in the trial
and he gave me the answers whole
heartedly. There is quite a change
in him since the last time ] saw him.
He seemed in better spirits. He told
me he was his own chief counsel and
that Kiplinger Hill and l were just
lawyers working for him and he was
going to be the boss. of what was
done in his cases hereafter"
J. II. Kiplinger and Lloyd o. Hill
have been representing Stephenson
and others in the Stephenson affair.

Thomas Fl. Adams, Vincennes
editor who is conducting a probe of
Stephensonism in Indiana politics,
saw Stephenson a short time before
the election and he reported that
the ex-Klan dragon appeared to be
suffering physical ailment and ap-
parently feared for his life.
Extensive preparations are being
made by the defense for the arson
conspiracy trial. Miller has had
subpoenas for many Of the Repub-

primary facts of her government
No effort was made to produce the
vote mechanically on election day
by the league as an organization,
the whole question being approached
from the educational point of view
League members We're urged to help
in their own parties and hte COM
mittee watched with keen interest
the efforts of the democratic and
republican parties to bring out the
vote. The result was very disap-
pointing. Douglas returned a rs per
cent vote, the state showing S4
per cent vote. While IS per cent Of
the registered voters is considered
good for city, SELL considering the
effort made to stimulate citizens
to their duty as voters and the
small area covered by Douglas, as
we'll as the moderate population to
be reached, your committee feels
justified in believing that the work
;nvolved should have produced better
results.
It therefore offers the following
conclusions for your consideration:
First, that the whole law of regis
tration needs to be changed.
fee of 20 cents is paid for every
registration in tho city. Registration
lasts from May 1 to October Is, eX-
elusive of the few days reserved
for the arrangement of the primaries
With an allowance of 400 sick with
those who are caring for them and
voters absent from the city, this
leaves US at least 500 people who
cost the taxpayer 20 cents each
who had no intention of voting. This
group of persons who registered
because they could do it at home
without any effort on their part
would seem very undesirable voters
They have cost the county a large
sum of money with no result as
far as the government is concerned
If the time for registration were
to be very much curtailed and the
voter required to make the effort
personally to go and register, i'm
mediately all persons too lazy or
Indifferent to vote would cease to
register, since that also would entail
some effort on their part.
Secondly, league members of both
the democratic and republican parties
have reported their experiences on
election day to your committee. The
experiences of these league workers
were similar, leading to the con-
-clusion that it was no less humiliat-
ing for the dutiful citizen who
dra gged the unwilling voter to the
polls, than for the reluctant one
VINO was dragged there.
Third, the committee feels that the
voter who is so apathetic and in
different that he must be routed
out to do his duty as citizen will
probably give little constellation
to the candidates or the questions
on which he must render his de-
cision Therefore, his vote would be
of little value in the furtherance of
good government.
In conclusion, your committee would
like to assure you that, while the
work has been hard and the effort
seems to have produced little in the
way of results, the experience has
been most helpful and gratifying.
Many new friends have been found
with warm words Of interest in the
league Much cheerful encourage
ment to continue the good work
begun among the women citizens of

Mrs George Drysdale, Mrs. Redwine,
Mrs. A. e. Hinton and Mrs. Tuttle
present. Routine business was con-
Quoted and the following report was
submitted to the board by Mrs.
Tuttle and Mrs. Hastings
The committee, on Getting Out
the Vote" will make its report under
three headings, first, Organization;
second, Results; third, Conclusions.
The first work in the organization
movement was done by the first
vice president, Mrs. James Hastings,
who during August made about 200
personal calls with the idea of
finding street captain for every
street in the city. This street
captain was asked to investigate
the chances of placing a block lieu
tenant in every block in the street,
Mrs Hastings made a diagram of
the streets, headed every street with
the name of the woman whose help
had been promised for that street
and filled in the blocks with the
names of women supplied partly
through the suggestions made by
the street captain and partly by
Mrs Hastings own efforts in meeting
and interesting women in the work
At this stage, the president, Mrs.
Tuttle, took over Mrs. Hastings or
ganization and did everything she
possibly could to stimulate further
the work of registration. This pro-
ceeded through the month with ex-
ceilent results, the registration show
ing a very substantial increase over
that of the last biennial election.
Meetings were held when possible and
two weeks before election day 1000
dodgers were printed in the form of
reminders to citizens to register and
vote. These were thoroughly dis
tributed throughout the city by will
ing and energetic league members
and non-league members. On October
81. the first citizenship school held
in Douglas was successfully conducted
by the league in the high school.
This school was well advertised by
the local newspaper, splendidly sup
ported by some of the ablest men
of Douglas and Bisbee and placed
within reach of every woman the
