Nellie Lane Denies Charge of Driving While Under In-
 fluence of Liquor

A continuance of one day was granted this morning in the case of Nellie Lane, 22, of 54 Alder street, who was arrested last even- ing on the charge of operating q motor vehicle while under the in- fiuence of liquor. The young wo- man, very fashionably attired, en- tered a plea of guilty this morning to the complaint of driving a motor vehicle without a license. She de- nied, however, that she had been drinking or had made any effort to drive away from the scene of q collision. It was alleged that she crashed into a car driven by Doris Nardona of 148 Alder street. The defense in the presentation of its evidence brought out the fact that Mrs Lane or Strikulis as she is also known was recognized by the driver of the other machine and that she pulled to one side follow ing the accident.
 Mrs Strikulis did not take the witness stand this morning but is expected to have witnesses present tomorrow morning to substantiate her statements that she had not been drinking and that the acci- dent was unavoidable. The police claim that the odor of liquor was noticeable on the accused's breath at the time of her arrest.
 The cases of Norman c. David- son, 28, of Woodbridge avenue, Ansonia, and Benjamin N. Dezinno, 31, of 678 East Farm street, were continued until Thursday morn ing. Both are charged with op- erating motor vehicles while un- der the influence of liquor. Both drivers were arrested following collision yesterday afternoon at the corner of East Main and William streets.

 An autopsy was performed by the medical authorities of New York city, but no formal report has been received here as to the find- ing. Charles DeBisschop, promi- nent local contractor and broth CT of the deceased, holds to the murder theory. Plans had been made to have an autopsy per- formed by a local doctor, but when the body arrived in Southing ton 1t was learned that the New York au- thorities had already attended to this feature of the investigation.
 Funeral services for the de- ceased were held yesterday after noon in Marion. Rev Phillip King, pastor of the Congregational church in Plantsville conducted the services. Burial was in Wonx Spring cemetery in that town.
 Lieutenant William Pollard and Detective William Foley questioned several acquaintances of the de- ceased to-day and had planned to visit Marion to obtain additional information. The local police are convinced that DeBisschop was not robbed or murdered here.

NO OTHER CAMPAIGN CAN BE OF VALUE

Announcement has been made that campaign Will
BEGIN to reduce accidents the county highways
We hope the campaign will be begun at the right end,
kept up and prosecuted in such to make it effec
tive and deterrent We have lately had alarming num-
ber of deaths on county highways. There is start
ing similarity the accidents which them. They
occur generally in collisions at intersections and or
both the cars reduced to piles of junk indicating
frghtfuly rectless driving
There is too much fast driving. The 35-mile an hour
limit is too fast for any but the skilled and ex-
perenced driver Not driver in five exercise a
quick and effective control of his at that rate of speed
But the wrecks which have occurred recent weeks ndl
cate much greater rate of speed. Observer
who have witnessed in motion just before collision
have estimated the speed of them at high IS miles
an hour. At that lower rate any however
sfu the driver be said to be out of control though
the itself be in perfect mechanical shape AS for
coping with sudden emergency, and all highway emer
gences sudden, the we'll be without brakes
No campaign be of any value that has not behind
it determined purpose rgidy enforcing the traffic
guaons and the first and most important of these the
speed regulation Every violator woman, should
punished.
Any other sort of campaign is campaign at all
nothing than pandering to a practice which has
made highways peril to all who enter upon them
which has made the possible destination of those who
out on pleasure rides, the hospital or the morgue.
There communities but not in Arizona, where
the highways safe They have been made safe by the
jang of those who violate the laws. There other
way given under heaven and among men to make the
highways reasonably safe.-Arizona Republic.

ia caLUle are a very I'M
lportant source of income for
Pinal county. An analysis
of the reports of the Live
stock Sanitary board and of
data available in the office
of the State Veterinarian,
recently completed by DR..
George w. Barr, extension
economist at the University
of Arizona, shows that the
gross output for Pinal coun-
ty during the year 1880 was
Is, ,784 cattle. Deducting in
coming shipments of 8,841,
leaves 6,907 head of cattle
as a net output for the
county.
The figures for counties
are usually based upon
movement from railroad
shipping points, and the fig
ure for Pinal county may be
inclusive of some cattle pro-
duced on ranches outside of
the county line. This is COM
pensated for by the ship
ments of cattle from railroad
points close to the county
but not actually within the
county boundries.
Available figures indicate
that thebeef cattle industry
in the state Of Arizona COM
petes with cotton as the most
important source of agricul-
tural income.
Cattle shipments to points
without the state last year
t t al Il d 225,25O head.
Slaughtering within the
state accounted for 72,048
head, making the total out
put of cattle the state 297,-
298. Deducting 60,882,
which, according to the re-
cords of the Livestock SAM
tary board and the office of
the State Veterinarian re-
presents the incoming ship
ments from points without
the state, leaves a net output
of 236,416 head of cattle,
which probably brought to
the stockmen of Arizona up
wards of ten million dollars.
