Zola nat a monstrous injustice was the trial of M. Zola, the eminent French writer, who was arrested charged with libeling the French army. The charge against him was preferred by tiie same set of Frenchmen who had con signed the innocent Alfred Dreyfus to a sentence worse than death. M. Delegorgue was the president of the court of assizes of the Seine, who tried Zola. The hearing con sumed fifteen clays in February, 1S99. Hundreds of spectators were present during its continuation, and on the most part their conduct was outrage ous. and the anti-Dreyfus demonstra tions were encouraged rather than otherwise by those in charge of the trial. This rabble was allowed to ac centuate the proceedings by clamor of assent or dissent as the evidence suited or displeased them. Zola, early in January of t S09, pub lished in a daily paper in Paris called 'L'Aurore,' a letter addressed to President Faure, in which he charged, in no uncertain or mealy terms, an accusation against mili tary tribunals which, within the few preceding months, had acquitted an alleged traitor, and which, in 1&94, had condemned another army officer, Dreyfus to banishment for life in a penal settlement after his conviction upon the charge of revealing army- secrets to a foreign government. It was just after the acquittal of Esterhazy for his part in the Drey fus degradation, and as the author of the Bordereau, that Zola wrote the letter to the president of France, accusing both councils of war of having knowingly screened the real culprit in punishing Dreyfus and ac quitting Estorhnzy. The letter consumed several col umns of the "LAurore. Thereunon the minister of war, under Articles 30 and 31 of the correctional press 'aw ef July 9. 1SK1, which punishes defamation, preferred charges against Zo'a. which charges ignored all the other libelous criticisms in the letter of what Zola called "the infamies of the Drevfus trial mainly behind closed doors and with secret testimony," and confined the prosecution to the charge that the council of war, which ac quitted Esterhazy, acted not on evi dence, but on rovernment orders to acquit, lest conviction should free Dreyfus and ronviet the prior council nf error Nearly all tile Paris papers de clared that tile honor of the French army had heen assailed by Zola, an.) so initiated u patriotic cry against him. The complaint against the prisoner was submitted by General Billot, minister of war, and after it was read by the county clerk, the attorney-general, M. Van Casoel, opened for the prosecution. After ho concluded with a speech consuming half an hour II. Lahori, the advocate of Zola, opened his defense in a speech that occupied more than three hours. U is said to bave been elo quently delivered. The trial, as it advanced, disclosed great personal feeling between the counsel and strong unconcealed judi--pi bias against Zola. On the sec ond day of the trial Zola asked per mission to be heard, which was grant ed. Of course he admitted writing the letter, but defended his doing so a brilliant speech.

May 117, at the Arizona Club. Dinner will be served on the roof at 7:00 o'clock. The principal talk of the evening will by Mr. J. H. MeClihtock on the subject, "Parcel Post," and should bring out a good attendance of mem bers. The other subject for consideration will be the recommendation passed at the last meeting of our board of governor relative to afternoon closing during the summer months. Said motion is as follows: "Moved that the board of governors of this association recommend that all firms of the city paying at the present time on Saturday change such pay day to Friday; with the further recommendation to the merchants of Phoenix that they have one-half day hoiday each week from the first of June to the first of September, pre ferably Saturday." In order that this question may be definitely decided once and for all every member interested is urged to be present. Tickets for the dinner $1. tions on the ground of military privi leges, and Colonel Pit-quart, whose testimony bore greatly in Zola's fa vor. Then the counsel on both sides began summing up. Labori's oration occupied two days, and during its pre sentation so boisterous became the spectators in the court room at times that he stopped upon one occasion, and said: "Alas, Monsieur le Judge. I am obliged to be my own policeman." Labori made a sublime panegyric of his client as author, patriot and friend of all victims of injustice. The sessions were finally ended and the jury retired for deliberation. Then the air was filled with cries of 'Long live the army! Long live France! Down with insulters! Death to Zola!" Amid all the confusion Zola cried: "These people are can nibals." The court then adjourned to de termine upon the sentence. They returned a few minutes later ;md condemned the prisoner to the maxi mum penalty of one year's Imprison ment and a fine of three thousand francs. A few days after adjournment the accused appealed from the verdict of the lower court, and the appeal being heard by the court of cassation on March 31. the finding of the jury was sustained, but it applied to Zola whiit was called the Berenger law, remitting sentence imposed upon first offenders, and consequently the sen tence was set aside. A second trial was held on the following July IS, but without await ing the result, Zola, by the advice of his counsel and friends, and for reas ons of legal strategy, abruptly left France and tool; refuge in England, and did not return to France until the Drevfus trial was reversed.

TREES AND RAINFALL RELATION BETWEEN THEM Article in Bulletin of American Geo graphical Society by Dr. Douglas of the University The first page nf the bulletin of the American Jeogr.i .phicul Society for May llil 4 is given to an article by Dr. A. E. Douglass of the depart ment of physics and astronomy in the University of Arizona. This ar ticle is entitled "Estimating Rainfall By the Growth of Trees." This arti cle is a portion of a chapter from a forthcoming volume to be pub lished by the Carnegie Institution of Washington, under the title, "The Climatic Factor as Illustrated in Arid America." Dr. Douglass has given long study to certain problems that were illus trated by the growth of trees and has important and interesting con clusions. The first reliable series of obser vations made on Halley's comet were made by Dr. Douglass at the Uni versity of Arizona observatory. Ho used his sabbatical year 1912 13 in researches that would reflect much credit to the university. Work c.f this sort demonstrates the utility of sabatical leave as offered by the University of Arizona and other uni versities of high standing. WATCH FOR THE NEW CHASE TRUCKS.
