we'll equipped enterprises of the
city is the D. E. Hanks Transfer
Company, of which Mr.. D. E.
Hanks is the proprietor. Mr..
Hanks owns a number of teams
and wagons suitable for all kinds
of hauling. He is also equipped
to move household goods, pianos,
etc., has some of the best rigs
and driving horses as well as
saddlers in this part of Arizona.
When a party is started out with
an outfit from the Hanks stables
they can feel sure they will get
back without having to call on
somebody else to haul them in.
Mr.. Hanks is an old-timer here,
but a few years ago, sold out and
went to California. However, the
call of Arizona was too strong
and he wasunable to find any
place that looked quite. as good
as Winslow, so he is back and in
business once more and his many
friends hope it is for good, this
time. He enjoys the confidence
of the people of the entire city
and was formerly City Marshal
for some years, a position which
he filled with ability and fearless
ness, and in which he earned a
reputation for penetration and
far-seeing judgment, which made
him a terror to evil-doers, and
gave the utmost security to the
law-abiding citizen.

The Electric Theatre.

Travelling men, visitors and
tourists want some kind of en-
tertainment while in town, or
they hurry away as quickly as
possible. It is only too often that
the mediacre quality of the cheap
pictures and other entertainment
offered in unsanitary and poorly
ventilated shows are more of a
detriment to the reputation of a
town, than anything else. A
first class, comfortable and we'll
ventilated house in which are
shown the best attractions to be
obtained may therefore be con-
sidered as one Of the valuable
assets in any community. This
is what the Electric, of which
Mr.. Tom Seegar and r. G. Baz-
ell are proprietors, licensed thea
tre, presents to .Winslow. The
management shows only the
licensed films, which include the
mott famous studios in the
world, and represents such com
panies of international fame as
the Biograph, Edison Vitrograph,
Lubin, Pathe, etc.
One Of the genuinely attractive
features Of this excellens house
is the orchestra music, which is
exceptionally fine. The orc hes
ira consists of five people, of
whom four are ladies'. The
members are unusually talented
musicians, and many of the ex-
quisite selections which they rem
der are we'll worth coming out to

In other words, the state does not
care to show it's hand at this time.
1t is reported that several weeks
before the John Steen murder took
place, Chris Virgens had made a
statement to his wife to the effect,
that if any thing should happen to
him, so he could not look after his
property himself, he wanted his broth
er to do so. AS mentioned in our
last issue Virgens sent for his broth
er last week and asked him to look
after his property and arrange efor
an auction.
Many rumors are afioat, and it is
sometimes difficult to determine which
to give credence. 1t is reported
that the late John Steen, sometime
before his death, in talking about de-
predations in the vicinity of Tri-
umph, had made the statement that
they would cease. This has been
contrued by some to indicate that
Mr.. Steen had talk with the sup
posed guilty party, and the latter
had given his promise to desist from
further acts of mischief or attempts
at destruction of property.

Governor Eberhart, in accordance
with a law passed at the last SEES

ton follows in part:
THE state of Minnesota has 3d.

which, when made accessible b. i'm
proved roads, will make of Mime

and the playground of the nations.
The state highway commission of
fers the following suggestions as to
the celebration of the day:
THAT village councils provide for
the improvement of roads leading in
to their respective villages by drag
ging, if the conditions of the road
bed are suitable, by the removal of
superfiuous stone, sod or other mat
ter not suitable for permanent
roadway, by cutting the weeds and

tillers of the soil are having a holt
day.
The authorities claim to have a
great deal more evidence against
Virgens than has yet been given out.
If it is true that the much-wanted
gun has been found this will prove
to be a strong link in the chain OF
evidence that the officers claim they
hold against Virgens.
Virgens maintains the same de-
meanor that has been his character
istic since the day of his arrest.
The examination was begun in JUS
tice Everett's court this afternoon. The
hired man employed by Virgens was
the first witness.
1t was said this aftrnoon that
the gun was found under barb
wire fence on the Virgen's farm short,
ly after the murder was discovered
1t was located by Sheriff Carver and
Detective Lawler and has been in
possession of the sheriff for some
days.
1t is not at all likely that the state
will divulge all the evidence it has
against Virgens at the examination

STRIKES AT NEW YORK PAPERS
Roasts Mayor GaynOr. Claiming Execu-
live Made Vicious Attack On Him
While Testifying
especial to The Free Press

New York, May 28.-Joseph A.
Shay, counsel for Lieutenant Charles
Becker, convicted police official, has
completed plans and arguments look
ing toward a new trial. These he
presents today before Supreme Court
Justice Gerard, who it is believed
will refer the case to Justice Golf,
who presided at the trial of Becker
for inspiring the murder of Herman
Rosenthal the gambler.
An affidavit by Becker makes up
large part of the petition of $50
pages. 1t states that public clamor,
newspaper headlines and the Curran
aldermanic committees investigation
played a part in the conviction. May
or Gaynor comes in for special men
ton because of his statement be-
fore the Curran committee to the eff
feet that Becker was the head and
front" of police grating.
Slams the Newspapers.
1.-THE mayor of the city of New York, .
Becker says, referring to the mayors
testimony, made vicious attack on
me, and asserted that | was the head
and front of graft in the police de
partment." He adds that the press
made "glaring use" of the mayors
remarks.
The petition bases the motion for
new trial on four grounds: that
new evidence has been discovered;
that the jurymen were separated
without leave of the court; that the
verdict was contrary to law, and that
the ends of justice would be furthered
by a new trial. All except the second
are customary and technical. The
second point refers to Samuel l.. Haas
one of the jurors, who was allowed to
go home and visit dentist.

LActR'S ARM PLANT
Hookers up Declare There Are Too
Many Theatre Parties, Bridge and
Other Functions

Chicago, H., May, 28.-AToo many
hooks, theatre parties, dogs and
gowns and an epidemic of "lacer's
arm may cause the maids to form
a new union in Chicago, or affiliate
with the Household Workers, recently
organized.
The maids declare they are in
favor of a new union, to be called
the Maids and Wallets Association,
but so far not enough have asked to
join to warrant the Woman's Trade
Union league giving them separate
charter
II is the ''hookers-up" private hair
dressers and private manicurists
who wish to form the new union.
The Household Workers Union is
composed mainly of cooks, kitchen
help and chambermaids.
The ''hookers-up" say the present
style of gowns, with their many hooks
placed close together, is one cause
of their situation. Many cases of
'lacers arm have been found among
the maids, corresponding somewhat
to the "housemaids' knee" which for
many years has afflicted scrubbers.
They say that the newest disease
is caused by the operation of placing
a $50 pound woman inside one of the
new "tube" gowns, designed along
the lines of 120-pound woman. Late
hours and the i'll humor which often
| follows is another cause of complaint

VOLUNTEERS ? THIS WORK

ST Paul, May 28.-The state board
of parole has been engaged for some
time in organizing a Prisoners Aid
society for the state of Minnesota.
The initial steps were taken last win
ter, when letters were addressed to
every member of the legislature ask
ing for suitable men in every legisla-
tive district who would volunteer to
act as members OF this society. The
work has now progressed so far as
to be nearly ready to be put into OPP
Grafton. DR.. S. G.. Smith, who has
had charge of organizing the work
of this department, in speaking of it
said
1--WE are extremely anxious to have
representatives in every county OF
the state, but they must be men of
responsibility and particularly of the
| right temperament. The men on par
ole often need the friendly counsel
of man who understands human
nature and especially of man who
believes in human nature.
Not Bad at Heart.
Large numbers of these prisoners
are not bad men at heart, but, by
reason of unfortunate circumstances
or bad habits, have fallen into crime.
A little volunteer sympathy and wis
dom will often keep them in the right
path 1t is impossible for the paid
agents of the state to visit the men
| as frequently as is desirable, and,
besides, there is a certain work that
can be done by volunteer service that
can never be done by any paid agency
whatsoever
about fifty counties have already
furnished volunteers. 1t is desirable
that every county IN the state be
covered 1t is not anticipated that
any volunteer agent will have more
than one man whom he is supposed
: to befriend, nor is it expected that
he will be the employer of the man,
but rather that he will meet him
on human grounds and assist if there
; is any difficulty between the man
and his employer or If there is any
danger in his moral surroundings.
Not Heavy Burden.
1t is not a heavy burden, and
should engage the best efforts of
the best citizens. The state board OF
parole will be extremely glad if men
in the various counties who are will
ing to serve in this capacity will re-
/, port to their own members of the
legislature and have their names sent
in to the board of parole. The board
will then communicate with the in
! dividuals giving them directions as
, to what is expected of them.
+ "The indeterminate sentence and
) the parole law can be made tenfold
r more useful by the thorough organi
q cation of the Prisoners Aid society
s which shall reach every man who is
out and which shall cover every
county in the state"
