UNITED STATES COURT
The Grand Jury Returns Report
Win four Indictments.

United States district court was OPP
ened yesterday, but nothing was done
except to impanel the grand jury and
receive the first report. The members
of the grand jury are ]. D. Monihon,
William Christy, John o. Dunbar, Sam
f Webb, C. P. Leitch. B. A. Fickas,
Emil CAM, c. J. Dyer, George U. Col
Inns, R. Grigsby, William Isaac, F. L.
Brill, Lincoln Fowler, Henry E. Kemp
H. Goodman, J. E. Price, w. a. kim
ball, D. c. Warren. NJ. H. McCord and
Z. Elsie. 1t is pretty well agreed that
this is an aggregation of gentlemen of
good judgment, with the welfare of
the taxpayers ever before them, but
the distribution of hOnors was not
made to cover a very wide range. For
instance it will be observed that the
Arizona Gazette appears in the panel
in four places. Every department Of
that journal, the financial, the editor
ial, the business mana cement and the
proprietary, are all represented By
some oversight James Sullivan, the
chief of the janitorial department. was
overlooked.
A heavy draft was also made on the
city council, two members and the
mayor appearing IN the list. Inc
other thirteen members are gentlemen
from the private walks of life. The
grand jury got to work Immediately
after being sworn in and at 4 o'clock
in the afternoon submitted it's first re
port, containing four indictments, all
against persons charged with selling
liquor to Indians under the care of an
Indian agent. The foremost of these
offenders is Jose Garcia, already in Gus
tody.
A telegram was received from Dep
uty United States Marshal L. G.
Wilder of Yuma saying that he would
arrive in Phoenix this morning with a
lot of prisoners and witnesses.
The only business on the territorial
side of the court was the trial of the
Brockman suit against the water COM
pany. This. it is said, will be the last
of these cases to be tried. This, with
the other three previously tried, en-
braces every feature of the contention
of the water users. They will be ar
gued together and whatever orders
may be made will apply to all the
cases now on file. 1t is probable that
the arguments will begin today.

ALL ONE SIDED
Tax Payers Know What They want
and Are United.

1t takes some time to educate the
people on any question of a public ma
ture, but once they understand the
situation they are ready and willing to
act. A year ago municipal ownership
of the water works was matter that
greatly agitated the taxpayers of
Phoenix They did not want it then
and said so at the ballot box. Since
that time they have been learning
things. Pursuant to a call by the
board of trade a meeting of taxpayers
was held at the court house last night
for the purpose of discussing the water
question. The court room was Wen
filled with representative taxpayers
who came to listen, to learn and to act.
The ostensible purpose of the meeting
was to get an expression of the people
on the question of the ACCESSIBILITY of
the city council entering into a new
contract with the present water works
company for the improvement of the
plant and Incidentally the granting of
a new franchise to run for forty years.
The meeting settled that question
by ignoring it and striking mighty
blow at the root of the evil by passing
a resolution that the chair appoint a
committee of fifteen to wait upon the
council at its earliest convenience and
inform that honorable body that it
was the desire of the taxpayers of this
city that the question of bonding the
city for S3150OO for the erection of
water works and sewerage plant, be
submitted to a vote of the people at
an early day.
On motion of J. w. Evans. Walter
Talbot was made chairman of the
meeting and L. r. Kruger secre-
tary In stating it's object, Mr.
Talbot said that it was a public affair
and it was desired to give all sides
fair show and the freedom of the floor.
Major Evans was called for. He
made a short speech, presenting data
to prove the economy of municipal
ownership. He proved conclusively
that the public at large was paying
So for 81 of water. He presented data
from reliable authorities, gave a short
history of the present water works
company, and drew comparisons which
it might be remarked were somewhat
odious The water works cost $4,000,
the annual revenue is $4,000, and the
plant is bonded for 100000.
J. c. Adams was next called for and
prefaced his remarks with the admis-
sion that he was a crank on the sub !
ject but thought any man would be |
who would study the question three |
hours He stated that Phoenix is pay
ing interest on 100000 bonds for a |
property that only cost $4,000. The |
paid $4,000 last year that !
should be in their pockets. The com !
pany claims its income is but $4,000 !
per year. 1t costs but $500 for fuel |
and running expenses. Where is the !
rest of the money expended? Eighteen /
thousand dollars of it goes to the hold |

cases, important business matters in
order to attend to this business of a
