Martin Bruhl and Enrico Palmetto. Heard at Ari- zOna School of Music Last Night-M Good Con ceItS to Follow

Martin Bruhl and Enrico Palmetto were heard al the Arizona School of Music auditorium last night in the openinS entertainment of the artists course which is being presented by Mrs. Shirley Christy They gave a WeH-seIected program which was thoroughly enjoyed by an enthusiastic audience
 AIr- Bruhl is pianist of consider ab'c ability, his numbers were the most interesting on the program. His finger work is exceptionally good and. in the Etude in C Major of Moskow- ski especially. called forth prolonged appIa use. He has brilliant tech niqUe and splendid tone and plays with an enthusiasm that there is no Withstanding.
 There was an interpolated number the second movement of the Concerto in D Minor by Mcdowell. for two pianos with Mr. Claude Gotthelf at the second piano. polite little note explained the why" of NIr Gotthelf's appearing on the program It was at the insistent request of MT. Eiuhl. Let it be said now that no why is. necessary when Mir Gott- helf plays. The only time that a why is required is when he does not play. lie is such a splendid artist that one is glad of any excuse that brings him before the public.
 Mir. Palmetto is billed as tenor robusto; as matter of fact. he is lot a robust tenor. He is the pos sessor of a light voice of beautiful quality. His mega voce is particu- 'larly pleasing and he uses it with a great deal of skill. The most pleas ing numbers on his programs last night were the unpretentious songs and in these especially in the plan issimo passages. his work was wholly delightful In that old favorite. Sing me to Sleep" which he sang as an encore he was heard to better ad- vantage than in anything else, in fact we have seldom heard this song more beautifully sung.

GRAND JURY IS SAVED
 ID FUTURE USEFULNESS
Defense in Munitions of War Gases Would Have Deprived Court of
 This Necessary Ad junct

Had the objection of United States Attorney Morrison not been sustained by Judge SawteIe yesterday, there would have been no grand jury to take a rehearing on the munitions of war indictments, for the defense started right out to inquire into qualifications that would have caused challenging of the entire panel. It will be remembered the court sUs- tained demurrers to all the indict- ments charging actual shipping of arms, and the government announced it would take the cases back to the grand jury for amendment. When the interrogation was halted by the objection. the case went back to the srand jury with the original instruc- tiOns in force.
 This is the second round of a bat tie that is likely to prove long, in case the government succeeds in get ting new true bills against the PheIps-Dodge company, w. H. Bro phy. F. E. Coles, the Douglas Hard ware company H. Ribera, the Stein field company and others. The first blood was drawn for the defendant when the court sustained the de murrers. But yesterdays score would have to be marked in favor of the government, for the cases are now in the hands of the grand jury with cut new instructions. Although the defense wanted his honor to instruct the jury to interrOgate witnesses for the defendants. he declined to do so.
 It was General BuIlards query that led to the objection. He asked about the disposition of the grand jurors tC return indictments on certain facts, and on receiving an answer used a peremptory challenge. Morrison in stantly pointed out the fact that this procedure would soon deprive the court of a grand jury and the objec- tiOn was upheld.
 As day before yesterday, the court VerruIed a demurrer to d conspiracy indictment against J. k. Wright. John Wilson and A. C. Nillasenor. A new indictment was returned against D. A. Young for smuggling. War muni- tions bills Were returned against Pur- chasing Agent II. Ribera, of the state forces of Sonora, F. c. Hanson w. Ii. Hart c. Padres, Ensinas, Silla md Fernandez.

WORRY ABOUT
 TRAIN TIMES
Changes in Southern Pa cific Schedules Cause Wrinkles on Brow of Postmaster McClintOck- They Vanish Soon.

Colonel McClintOck sat at his desk in the palatial, not to say sumptuous office of the Phoenix postmaster; he gritted his teeth and frowned over a badly muddled schedule of railroad trains--a rearranged schedule. After deep study he concluded:
 wen have an awful flock of mail in here at 1O:3O now
 But hold. An idea. One of those strange elusive flitterings of com prehension dribbIed across his con sciousness. He would look further into this. He did so. Here is what ne evolved.
 owing to changes in train schedules on the Southern Pacific there will be large re-orderings in the postoffice work, but not so large or serious as at first contemplated.
 Trains number and have been abandoned. The de luxe trains num- bered 101 and 1O2 will be changed from once a week to daily. Changes in time are as follows:
 Train No. 1 arrives at Maricopa westbound at 7:15 p. m. This is the Californian and the change in time is not great.
 Train No. 3 arrives at the junction at 3:35 a. m. This is the Rock Island limited and will henceforth be divert ed over the Southwestern to Douglas. This change is not a large one.
 Train No. arrives 7:2O a. m. This is the New Orleans-San Francisco express.
 No 1O1, the de luxe, passes the station at goo a. m.
 Eastbound trains are as follows: 2, 2:16 a. m.; 1, 11:45 p. m; 10, S:OO a. m: 1O2. S:45 D. m.
 This arrangement throws lot of trains through Maricopa in the morn ing. It is likely that a change will have to be made in the local trains to MaricOpa to accommodate the pas sengers and mail, though except in case of a ball-up in the schedule, the mail arrivals and departures will not be much affected as to time.
 The new schedule permits 101 to cut sixteen hours from the previous time between New Orleans and San Francisco.

Carranza Is Pleased

DOUGLAS, oct. BOA dispatch from Hermosillo tonight said: Gov ernor Carranza expresses elation over the fleeing of Felix Diaz to the American gunboat. saying that he considers the split between Diaz and Huerta more important than the winning of many battles by the con- stitutionalists. This step of Diaz will create still another party having the backing of Porfirio Diaz and will draw it's strength from the Huerta followers and not from the consti- tutionalist ranks"
