Registration in County
Has NOU Reached IO,3SO

Registration of students in rural
schools in Cochise county will begin
Monday, September s. Where the school
houses are not being used as voting
places, regular classes will begin Tues
day, September Z, according to Miss
Helen Brown, county school superin-
tendent All the rural schools are re-
ported as having teachers for the year.
There have been fewer changes in
the teaching personnel of this county
for the coming year than there has
ever been, which is gratifying to the
patrons of our schools. A teacher who
has given satisfaction is always able
to be of more service to a school and
a community when she returns for the
second or third time as she knows the
needs of each child and is acquainted
with the local conditions" Miss Brown

GOVERNOR OF LOWER
CALIFORNIA FLAYS
ESTRADA CAMPAIGN
especial to the Dispatch)

MEXICO CITY, Aug. 23.-Abelardo
L. Rodriguez, governor of the north
district of Lower California, on the
attempt of General Estrada to in
wade Mexico, says: Regarding the
frustrated attempt of Enrique Es-
trada and his associates to start a
revolution in the territory of Lower
California, 1 consider it an oppor-
tune time to say that this individual
on all occasions, has betrayed his
superiors who have resposec con-
fidence in him as he mlserably be-
trayed General Obregon.
"It is not strange that on this
occasion he should have betrayed the
very movement which was headed by
the filibusterer, Parker, an arms
salesman of San Diego. Estrada
knew beforehand that he could not
cross the border, and had himself
reported by one of his own agents
so that he might lay hand on the
money that he needed to continue
living in the United States.
Enrique Estrada knew very well
that from military viewpoint, his
revolutionary movement had no i'm
portance starting in Lower Califor-
MIA because no rebellious group can
sustain itself there. 1 certainly would
not have left the capital alone, but
would have taken with me the
batallions and elements necessary tC

TO
SPEAK in CITY
TONIGHT AT 8

Citizens of Douglas will have an
opportunity to hear E. E. Ellinwood.
democratic candidate for governor,
express his views on the Colorado
river issue and the present state ad
ministration when the candidate
speaks tonight at the Grand theatre
at 8 o'clock.
The local Ellinwood for Governor
club issued the following:
Cochise county is listed among the
most progressive of the IA counties
in the state. The voters of dear old
Coehise" two years ago placed theif
stamp of disapproval upon the meth
ods pursued by the heads CT our state
government in advancing the inter-
ests of the state by their ballots in
the general election. Some of them
were loathe to desert from the ranks
of the loyal supporters of those whose
battle cry was "Save the Colorado
river
Evidently the Colorado river has
been saved, as we hear no more of
this bewildering propaganda from the
platform when the Savior speaks.
However the waters of the river rep
which, if harnessed and utilized
would increase the value of the tax
able property in the state to such an
extent that the burden of taxation
would be scarcely felt, flows mer
rily on to the seas.
The action promised two years ago
has been forgotten and the battle cry
shouted from the platform in an eff
AZ oINf in
sufficient votes to place them once
again in power is Save the people of
Arizona" In just what manner the
people are to be saved is not menN
toned! The lack of earnestness in
the present campaign by those who
are willing that the state of Ari-
zoila shall stagnate and decay 81 very
noticeable and it is morally certain
that the voters of the state are not
to be deluded longer and are insisting
on action along all lines to which
Arizona is entitled in order that she.
may take her place among the lead
ers of the progressive commemorative
of the entire United States
E. E. EllinWood, fo1. many years a
resident of Cochise county, is leading
the forces of those who demand ac.:
tion and is making a strenuous CAM
paign absolutely devoid of mud sling
ling. He and his closest supporters
feel that the intelligence and not the
ignorance of the voters should be ap,
pealed to in this campaign and the
people of Douglas will be given an
opportunity to hear from his lips the
plan of action he has outlined when

again take refuge in the country
whose neutrality they violated.
Il believe, however, that such
movement from the center would not
have been necessary, because the
forces now in Lower California would
have given good account of them
selves. Furthermore, 1 wish to say
that have always considered Estrada

able to command the respect OF
troops under him.
II remember that in one campaign,
when he was commanding force in
Sonora and was ordered to concen-
trate in the central part of the coun-
try, his forces swept the country
bare to such an extent that it was
nicknamed the broom brigade" and
it was necessary for General Angel
Flores, then commander of operations
in Sinaloa, to station troops along
the railway line to prevent Estrada's
troops from continuing their de-
struction."

GIANTS SPLIT
WITH BEES IN
SUNDAY GAMES

He who laughs last, laugh best
goes an old saying.
And Lefty Ferguson, Ell Paso cast
off laugher loud and long Sunday
afternoon in Bisbee, for he turned
back his old teammates, while the
Bees were running in a wild hitting
spree. The final score was 2S to 5
in favor Of Bisbee.
Lefty tried the old iron man stunt
and attempted to give the Giants a
double beating, but Cecil Coombs and
his men pulled themselves together
long enough to even matters up in
the second game, which was the
play-off of a protested tilt played at
Ell Paso two weeks ago. The Giants
won the second jamboree, 10 to 5.
The first game was a drawn out
affair, with Bisbee having the bet
ter of the going. Champion started
for El Paso and lasted two innings.
He was replaced by Robinson, who,
in turn, gave way to Ellis, a new
Finger from Fort Bayard.
In the second game Fred Baugh,
old but still lively, pitched Ell Paso
into a victory. Baugh formerly
played with Bisbee. Roy Storey hit
two home runs over the right field

JEROME STREET LINE FARE UP
 TO EIGHT CENTS ON DEC. 20
P. U. C. Grants Petition For Raise From Six Cents
 Owner to Improve Service to 2O-Minute Schedule.

An increase from six to eight cents fare on the Jerome street bus line and the sale of tokens" at the rate Of two for IS cents. has been ap- proved by the public utilities com mission. and will be put in effect December 20, 1t was announced to- day.
 The commissioners reached this finding after a study of statistical evidence presented on behalf of Fred Romani, owner of the line. by Will liam H. Day, public accountant, who declared that the line is on the verge of bankruptcy and unless shown way to greater revenue must go out of existence, at least as far as the present proprietor is con- cerned.
 No objection to the increase was voiced by patrons of the line, and Mayor Weld and Senator Hall, who attended the hearing in the state capitol. November 16. agreed that MT. Day had presented conclusive proof that the company is operat- ing at loss.
 Romani has been connected with Jerome street bus service since 1928. Earlier this year, he in conjunction with other operators, asked for an increase in fare and he offered his books to prove his argument that the line was not earning a fair re-

SLAIN SLEU7H'S WIFE
 HELD FOR HIS MURDER
Mrs. Bishop of Oklahoma
 Accused of Shooting
 Husband to Death !

Oklahoma City. Dec. Is LF-Mrs. Edith M. Bishop, wife of Luther Bishop, state detective who was shot to death as he slept in his home here December 5. was held in jail here today on a charge Of murder.
 Mrs. Bishop was arrested yester- day following week of investigation by state officials and after scores of men with criminal records had been questioned on the theory that under- world enemies Of Bishop had shot him to death because of his unusual success in breaking up bandit gangs. She was first detained at the county jail the day following the shooting, but was released without charge being filed.
 Bishop, known as two gun" of- flcer. who gained fame throughout the southwest for his work during the Osage Indian country reign of terror,' In which several wealthy h. dians were killed, was known to have many enemies among men who had served prison sentences largely as result of evidence he secured.
 Authorities turned from the theory gangsters had slain him when his two pistols were found in a closet near the bedroom where the shooting occurred. Mrs. Bishop de- clared she knew little about the killing, except that she was sleeping In bed near her husbands when she was awakened by shot. The shooting continued. she said, as she fled to summon aid
 A coroner's jury found that eight bullets had been fired from Bishops pistol and that seven struck him. He was known to have told friends he feared he might have to defend himself at any time.
 Although many witnesses were questioned at the hearing at the state capitol here during the last few days. little information has been made public. The formal charge against Mrs. Bishop yesterday was the first intimation of the trend of the investigation.
 Authorities announced they would compare Mrs. Bishops fingerprints with those found on the pistols. She has refused to discuss the case, claiming she would be unable to add to her previous statement

turn. The commissioners agreed that the records indicated a loss but re- jected the application on the ground that the accounting period was not sufficiently long to reach an accurate determination.
 At last months hearing he sub- mitted a statement of income and expenditure and balance sheet covering the period from January 1 to October 31. The figures indicated that he has suffered a net operating loss during that period of approxi- mately $2,000 and his capital had been impaired to that extent.
 The commissioners found a part Of this difficulty arises from the ab- sence of sufficient capital but the greater portion from the fact that the present fare is inadequate. The statements of Messrs. Weld and Hall that the city prefers an increased fare to abandonment of the line played a part in the decision, the commission finding that it Is utterly impossible to continue service at the present rate of return.
 Romani announced this after noon that he will begin work at once on improvements in his equipment and schedule. He now maintains a half hour headway. which later will be cut to 20 minutes if possible.
