The conversion may be to the use of another, and the indict ment fulfills the requirement. The constitutionality of the act ol March 2, 1907, allowing the government an appeal In adverse decisions on pre liminary pleas in criminal cases was upheld, the court reiterating the state ment that the right of appeal was not "essential to due process of law.''

ARIZONA ADOPTS LABOR MEASURES Employers' Liability and Work men's Compensation Provis ions Go Into Constitution PHOENIX, Ariz., Dec. s.—Construct ive work In framing Arizona's constitu tion was completed today, but there are intimations that further attacks will be made on certain provisions before final action is taken. Considerable debate preceded the final passage of the employers' liabil ity and workmen's compulsory compen sation measures today, the former hav ing been amended In many respects. Attorneys made a hard tight on the provisions in the original measure, which abrogated the doctrines of "as sumed risk" and "contributory negli gence," Judge Baker declaring the only defense of corporations in future dam age actions would be "suicide." As amended the measure is considered by many to be superior to any adopted by Other states. The compulsory com pensation measure is in the form of a man. to the legislature to enact a law similar to that which recently became effective in New York. Tins Is the first constitution to contain such a provision. .... Ardent Democrats made an effort to have the schedule relating to the judi ciary amended so that the seal of the supreme court should be a vignette of Jefferson instead of Lincoln. They were voted down. , In the afternoon session a few Demo cratic members made an apparently se rious effort to secure the adoption of a proposition introduced presumably as a joke by Cooper, Republican, prohibiting any member of the convention holding any office created by the constitution for five years. A humorous debate fol lowed. Recess was taken until even ing after the proposition had been amended to read "five hundred years.' Democratic members held a meeting yesterday to plan for the campaign prior to the election for ratification of the constitution by the people. It has been Intimated that the Republicans plan organized opposition. As tonight offered the last oppor tunity for amending provisions of the constitution, many changes were pro posed but only in minor details were amendments carried. The most im portant, one by Baker of Maricopa, was an amendment to the declara tion of rights. It was construed by labor members as a prohibition of picketing and was defeated, 13 to ..8. Prior to the consideration of the constitution by the convention sitting as committee of the whole, the con vention adopted a special ordinance for the election at which the constitu tion will be ratified or rejected by the people. This will occur In February, the day to be fixed on the day the constitution has final adoption.

", "The present immigration move ment," says the report, "is in large measure due to economic causes, but emigration from Europe is not now an absolute economic necessity and as a rule those who emigrate to the United States are Impelled by a desire for bet ter conditions rather than by the ne cessity of escape from intolerable ones.*' The commission presents several proposals by which restriction of im migration might be effected, includ ing a reading and writing test, the ex clusion of unmarried unskilled labor ers limitations in the number arriv ing at any port and from particular races and restrictions as in the amounts of money in their possession. Efforts to exclude all British East Indians through an -agreement with Great Britain, the continuation of the present Chinese exclusion laws, and present regulations with regard to Japanese and Korean immigration are recommended. . . ■*-*"* PARCHMENT LEADS TO FIND OF WAR RELICS New Yorkers Discover British Revolutionary Effects Buried on Hudson NEW YORK.
