AN INFORMAL LANDLORD,
He Collects Rent in an Un-
 ceremoniouS Fashion.
Arrest Last Night of E. R. PoWeIIs for Something Akin to
 Burglary.

E. R. Powells, an extensive property owner in that goddess locality south oi Jackson street often irreverently de. scribed as the tenderloin district, was arrested last night by Constable Gar fas charged with aserious offense. The accusation in effect against him is burglary though it only appears from the complaint that he is too vigorous landlord and too unceremonious rent collector.
 MT. Powells is benefactor in his way but he is not discriminating person. When the enforcement of the 400-yard limit occurred last spring followed by the subsequent operation of city ordinance against prostitutes, MT. Powells came to the front nobly and stood between them and homelessness. He made nearly successful effort to corral and monopolize the entire busi- ness of prostitution in Phoenix. Un- fortunately all of MT. Powells' property did not lie adjacent but some of it was ln disagreeable proximity to the homes of respectable people who were com pelled to sell out when MT. Powells' un- clean importations began to occupy his property. It is said that he even made arrangements to move from his own residence, not out of the polluted dis trict, but into smaller and less com modious house that prostitute might occupy his house.
 It is also said that the prostitute got ready to move before he did and that she was allowed to take possession of a part of his residence for short time.
 MT. Powells appears not to have wearied of his class of tenants; he could detect no disagreeable odor about the rent money paid him each week. His grievance only has been that the oppor- tunities to smell of it were too infre- quent.
 Among the tenants was Letitia Wat klns whose charms were not sufficient in this season of general financial de- pression to enable her to coin them into money with which to pay the kind hearted and accommodating Mr. Powells. In fact, at the beginning of the present week she was in arrears to the amount of $6. MT. Powells had seen her about it and she promised to make turn in day or two. The re- volution did not occur so on Tuesday evening during her absence the land lord broke into her lodgings and car ried away enough of her apparel to satisfy his clam. Letitia is not very bright but she had sense enough to know that Mr. Powells' jurisdiction as landlord was sub ject to some restriction. She &C., cordingly called to see Justice John- stone about it and the interview re- suited in the issuance of warrant for the seizure of the person of the informal MT. Powells.
 That gentleman acknowledged last night in general way that Letitia' g complaint was well grounded but he said he had right to burglarize her abode. He will call on Justice John- stone this morning and point out the paragraph and section of the Revised Statutes conferring this unusual au- thority.

Mr.. G.. C. Young of Ellsworth, has in
vented device that does away with all the
trouble of gressing carriages. that has been
the bugbear of stablemen and others ever
since carriages were used. BY using the
patent of Mr.. Young axles are oiled with
out removing the wheel and as only
sufficient oil can be used at one time to oil
the axle, there is no running all over the
hub and wheel. Mr.. Young's device con-
sists of peculiar oil cup which is screwed
into the hub just inside the spokes
and entirely cut of the way. The
point OF the cup reaches just through the
box of the hub so as to oil directly on the
axle. Extending down through the cup into
a little compartment at the bottom is kind
of post operated from the top of the cup
After the cup is filled and everything
screwed down tight. the post or valve is un-
screwed sufficiently to allow the oil from
the maia cup to fl the little compartment
at the bottom which holds just enough to
oil the axle. BY screwing the post back IN
position the oil is fore ed onto the axle a1d
the opening closed SO that no more can es-
cape until it is necessary to oil "ghn.
This is all very interesting; but what IS
the need o. oiling an axle at sill. General

away with this bother. Ii is practical
