Washington, June Is, 19lO. To The Williams News:
 It is with great pleasure I report to the people of Arizona that the statehood bill as amended and passed by the United States senate was at o'clock this afternoon unanimously concurred in and passed by the house of representa- tives, and that the measure will be- come law upon receiving the sig nature of the president on Monday next, thus granting our territory the long cherished and priceless boon of statehood.
 While the great importance of this measure and the effort and con stant attention demanded by it of the delegate in congress may have retarded to certsin extent desired legislation of minor import ance, it is to be hoped that the peo- pie of Arizona may display tha, degree of patience in such matters as has been manifested by them these many years in their tireless and continuous effort to secure ad- mission.
 In our overwhelming joy at the successful continuation of Arizona's struggle and the redeemihg of the statehood pledge by the republican party, due credit should be given to the noble efforts and assistance rendered in time of need by the president and Postmaster General

Larson in the Tolls

On complaint sworn to by Jo Atwood, Chas. Larson was ar. raigned in the justices court Wed. nesday afternoon on a charge of obtaining money on false pretense.
 Larson came here recently from Flagstaff and in partnership with another man opened up a lunch counter. He began drinking and the partnership was dissolved, Lar son buying his partner out. In order to raise the money a bill of sale for the contents of the lunch car was given to Jo Atwood as security for the sum of $50. Lar son continued to take stimulants freely and to leave irresponsible people in charge of his business un. til last Saturday evening the stock of provisions ran out and there was no money to buy more, hence an. other business failure.
 It was then that Mir. Atwood be- gan to test the intrinsic value of his bill of sale. The contents of the car and fixtures was owned by Babbitt- Poison Co., and the $50 had fitted like bunch of hot air.
 Larson pied ignorance of the law and claimed when the transaction was made he must have been drink ing as it was not his intention to do any wrong. He was sentenced to 60 days in the county jail.
