NEW HAVEN, Conn. (Special).-Stephen
0. Lawrence, a Yale freshman, was sem
fenced to fifteen days Imprisonment for

to the theatre In the evening. After the
show they went to a Church street cafe and
had some vanilla ice cream. Lawrence
helped the girl to put on her cloak. His
check accidentally brushed against hers
and then he kissed her.
Patrolman Harry Winchell, who was
lurking In the vicinity to suppress crime,
sprang out and seized them. He carried
them off to the station house.
Judge Dow heard the case the next
morning, He thumped his desk indignant.
ly when the patrolman told the awful
facts and then imposed a sentence.
The defendants counsel gave notice oil
appeal, and they were released on bail.
Lawrence is the first Yale undergraduate
ever sentenced to jail. They are arrested
quite frequently, hut invariably escape with
q fine or a clubbing.
Edwin G.. Dow, New Ravens anti-kissing

ways. He was once commander OF the To-
cal G.. A. R. post. He has been Judge OF the
City Court for two years. This is the first
kissing case he has ever tried. Up to this
time the police have not made a practice

1.-The relations bet ween Russia and the

existing between the two nations is now

Rivaz said he thought the extreme limit
OF high prices had already been reached
and that the food supplies from Nurma

would justify the Government In abstain

or from otherwise interfering with trade.
He estimated that the direct relief would
cost l, 800, 900 rupees, In addition to loans,
until March, and said that a quarter OF Il
million people we're already receiving as
sistance.

:, Chapel cars are n familiar feature on
many western railroads. They are In unit
versal favor with the officials OF the roads,
who invariably grant free transportation
for them and for the two missionaries who
go with each car. The car is equipped ms
a church, and is sidetracked in the little
towns along the line Of the railroad. 1t Is
ordinarily abont eighty feet long, with a
.seventy-foot body, which is divided into q
'hfty-foot chapel, capable OF seating 100
persons, and n t~wenty-foot living compart-
smhnt,s The cars cost about $500, and are
fitted With six -wheel trucks, afr brakes and
whistles. A ~favorite place for ~stoppagei is
the large carshops OF the road, where the
ear will he sidetraeked for a moor meeting.
The men troop in In their shop clothes,
and, after a short service, are dismissed
with a book or some OF the literature which
the missionary distributes In their hands.
The division superintendent scy thai the
men drink less and work better since the
chapel cars have been around.

WOULDN'T ADMIT IT
That There Is More Eneray fo inc
 Square Inch In inc West,

The Troy {N. Y.) Press says of the visit of MT Charles c. Randolph. ed itcr of Th.e Republican, to that city: Charles c. Randolph, the enterpris- ing publisher Of The Arizona CPhoe- nix) Republican, called at the Troy Press office this morning. He has been making an extended visit in the east, and gives glowing report sof the pros poets of that territory Perhaps Spen- azuma stockholders will be interested to knew what MT Randolph says of the mining outlook to a Mail and EX- press reporccr. We quote:
 " Arizona is enjoying a steady growth in population and in all the es- sentials to prosperous state. The un- precedented demand for copper has at tracted general attention to the enor- nous supplies Of copper in the terri tory and capital is seeking investments in all well known fields and even in districts quite remote. The mining conters are crowded, and a vast amount Of development work is being done
 " Arizona now stands third in the list of copper producing regions. and it is mere than likely that in a few years
 
 output now is heavy, the great-est de p0sits have hardly been disturbed. If copper maintains it's present position in the mining world and there does not appear to be any likelihood that thu demand will decrease for years to come, hclders of Arizona copper mines will reap a rich harvest. Legitimate mining in the territory has lately been afforded substantial aid through the issuance by Governor Murphy of a warning to investors to look out for fake mining schemes There are many legitimate propositions in the terri tory, and investigation is all that is necessary to show the good ones
 MT. Randolph tells us that Phoenix has a population Of 15,000, and that such city is equal in energy and bus mess operations tc, one of twice the size in the east. We refuse to ad- init it.

SHORT LIVED LIBERTY
Jail Bresker From Jerome Captured

Encarnacion Alalla was a very mu. | surprised man yesterday afternoon. IT. the morning a te-2gram was received from Jerome saying that Alalla, who had been held to the grand jury for criminal assault and was waiting to be transferred to the county jail at Prescott. had escaped from the hold oyar and had probably gone south. The telegram contained a description of him and . request to the sheTiff's office to look out for him. Deputy Sheriff Billy Moore started out in buggy to hunt for him. He met a wagon laden with ston,2 for the capitol building
 Beside the driver there was a man whose clothing corresponGed with the description of that which Alalla wore but he had short mustache and a short growth of beard, while the tele- gram said he was smooth shayen- The made him get into the buggy with him. On the return to town Alalla said: Now it is nothing to ycu if I get away but it's a big thing to me. If I'm taken back I'll get long term in Yuma. I'll give you my clothes and s25 to let me go.' The officer declined the offer, which Alalla kept repeating until they 90 cents were found in his pocket. In a pack he carried there were pair of black dosskin trousers, never worn.

 came here i'll Of consumption about
 three months ago and was at the county hospital f5as a time Then he moved to the place where he. died. On the evening before he was no worse than hs had been and later in the night young mem from the Arizona lodging house near by. called to see if he was in want of anything. Still later young man living across the street called on him and went away, returning about midnight. Sullivan WAS then resting easily. The caller re- turned shortly befcre 1 o'clock The candle in the room had gone ou3. The visitor heard the sick man breathing naturally and went away to get some matches. He was gone less than five minutes and when he came back and lighted the candle Sullivan was To longer breathing. He lay on his face dead. The police were notified and CC1i3ner Gray was summoned.

With the tearing down of the old adobe building now On the lot another landmark of the early days will pass away The house is said to be the first one constructed in Phoenix that boaSted of a beard floor There were perhaps one or two earlier buildings, but in those days lumber was too val uable to use fer flooring when dirt was so cheap.
 The many and varied scenes that have been witnessed within the walls of this old house would affaord inter- esting reading for a gcod-sized volume, could the data be secured It has been called into use for purposes both public and private for generation past and its history is part and parcel of the early history of the village, both social and commercial.
 Just what it was built for originally the writer is not informed, but it is said that it has been successiveIy util iZed as pcstOfice, stage station,, sa- loon, general merchandise store, dance hall. wholesale liquor establishment, 1:3dging house, professional offices and dozen other lines that might be enum- erated. Though it is not definitely known, it is not at all unlikely that at some time in it's history it has been devoted to church u7poses
 Probably the most tragic event that is related in connection with the building occurred during the time it was usad fer a dance house. It is re- lated that during the festivities one night the jealousy of one of the guests was aroused by the attentions another guest paid to Ene of the fe- maIs entertainers. The jealous 1ndl- vidual pulled his gun and shot the other man in the leg He then fled followed by an angry mob, who finally him and decorated with his body one Of the limbs of a big cotton wood near the corner Of Seventh street and the Tempe road. attaching the man to the limb by means of a rope nicely adjusted to his neck

and two uEbroken packages of black lace, just as he had probably stolen them from a store aftar his escape from jail
 He was locked up. Then Deputy Sheriff Moore remembered that Alalla tried to bribe him with S25. It was natural to suppose that h;e must have the money about him. He was taken out of jail and searched with greater thoroughness. Even his shoes were taken off and then the enthusiasm of the hunt waned. The officers wouldn't t have gone through that again for twice S25. That part of the search was too hurried to be very thorough. Among his effects was a Iatter in Spanish from Luis Moreno of Albuquerque.
