sentence. Lees was arrested in April together with a Mexican. Jesus Her nandez. In their possession were two suit eases. each holding forty cans of opium, weighing five ''taeT' apiece and each woIth about $40. Each ad- mitted ownership to the suit cases and their contents. Lees was ad- mitted to 2.0J0 bail which was sup piled by Charles Walker of Tucson. When called for the arraignment. he rose from q hospital bed and came to Phoenix one day late for the case. His bond was reinstated on the ground of his illness. But later, be fore he was brought up for trial he drifted. and the officers thought he must have gone to Mexico. Whither his pal had preceded him. Later. Lees was taken by Creighton again in Los Angeles He told Creighton T thought you would be so big could avoid you. 1 knew you would be the only Arizona officer who would be looking for me here
 Meantime, Hernandez was reported killed in the war in Mexico.
 After having pleaded guilty day be- fore yesterday Lees came up for sen tence yesterday. He received term of twenty months in Atlanta. Imme dfately Tom K. Richey, his attorney, entered motion to set aside the or der forfeiting his bail. and after ar guments on both sides, this motion was taken under advisement by his honor. Richey declared the only req son Lees had fled from Phoenix was he feared for his life. He was suffering from effects of a not too successful operation, and he had been told confinement would agsravate his condition.
 Inspector Reader of the Fl PasO customs force appeared to give evi- dence about Lees reputation at that end of the line. Lees, it seems, was known for several years prior to his arrest as one of the slickest opium dealers in the country, being the financier and the brains of a con siderable smuggling organiza ton. His movements kept the customs of flee on the alert, but the government was never successful against him until Creighton apprehended him in Tucson with the goods actually upon him.
 Lees is not hard looking GUS toner. Given good clothes he would present a peculiarly strong impress sion. His face is intelligent and frank and there is nothing in it to suggest the criminal or the drug fiend. On the whole he is rather prepOssess- ing as man, though his record is exceedingly black as a trafficker in the deadly drug His remark all of it." indicates familiarity with prison slang. that phrase being used by inmates of the zen for life" A new man brought to a penal insti- tuition is asked by fellow prisoners, What did you bring" If he is an old hand he will say, Five Of them,' or in case of a life term, All of it."

AUDITORIUM FAILS
 ID HOLD BIG CROWD
School Of Music Recital So Good That
 Place is More Than Filled

There is one very bad feature about the series of faculty recitals which Mrs. Shirley Christy is giving at the Arizona School of Music-they are get tlng so popular that it is next to i'm possible to get inside the building if one happens to be a few minutes late. Anybody will admit that is a bad feature-for the one who comes late.
 Heard while standing on one foot on the extreme outside edge of the fringe of the big audience that filled and OVerflOwed the auditorium of the school last night the second recital was a very pleasing affair. The art ists were Miss Mary Edna Styles. reader, and Miss AIeida Visschers. pianist. There were times when some one was standing on the one foot which we could get on the floor, for instance, when we were possibly some what restless; but even so, we thor Oughly enjoyed it.
 Miss Styles is a fine artist She has q clear, resonant, well-trained and most pleasing voice, keen humor, q Well-developed sense of the ridic- ulous, and an attractive personality. She reads delightfully."-. Her numbers were well selected, and in Eugene Fields John Smith, U. $. A." espe- cially, she appeared to great advan- tage.
 Miss Visschers, too, made a most favorable impression. She has q good, clear tone and brilliant tech nique, and plays with a good deal of feeling. Away out on the fringe of that big crowd it seemed at times as if she was a bit inclined to take liber- ties with the tempos, but, even so, her playing was most pleasing. If Mrs Christy is not very careful, she will have to enlarge the auditorium.

M'OOUGALL AND CASAU
 ALTERATIONS COMPLETE
Today Washington Street Furnishing House Is One of the Most At
 tractive in Arizona.

After weeks of patient endurance. during which time not only the en- tire front of the establishment was completely removed but the whole interior renovated Messrs. McDou- gall & Cassou have emerged from d state of chaos. much the same as the butterfly bursts from the silky chrysalis. Today the we'll known Washington street mems furnishing store stands a monument to the progressiveness of the proprietors and takes lank among the foremost of the modern establishments of the southwest.
 No person can pass the rehabi- Iitated McDougaIl X Cassou store without realizing that all that money can buy or ingenuity supply has been gathered from all points of the country in the effort to maintain the high standard and to keep abreast of the times. Today the store stands us one of the most attractive places of business in this city.
 With quarter sawed oak as the basis, and plate and prism glass as the accessories, coupled with scoop show window electric searchlights, cleVerly conctaled by show window vaIances. the front of the store has been greatly increased in attractive ness and this quality has been eX tended to the merchandise displayed, giving the final touch to the eXclu- siN eness of the goods
 In the interior there have been ad ded some of the finest furnishing cases and sectional cabinets for the display Of haberdashery shirts, col lars. neckWear. hose, belts, under wear and pajamas, where goods of this order are always in full view of the customer, while repOsing un der glass The revolving hat cabinets are d. revelation in the conservation of space and the display of goods. These are built on the same plan as the wardrobes wherein are displayed suits and OVercOatS
 Another feature that has been ad- ded with the other changes is the installation of q mezzanaine floor. providing office room without Occu- pying any of the main floor space. This also gives added room for the alteration department, which is in charge of John Thomas, an expert tailor and an artist at alterations.
 New show cases are on the way to take the place of those now in use. These will be of heavy plate glass with verdi antique base. When these have been installed the entire plan for the improvement of the interior of the establishment will be com plete and the last word will have been said in the creation of one of the most attractive and conveniently arranged stores in Arizona. And the stock will in the future as in the past be right up to the minute. Visitors are always welcome at McDougaH < Gaseous place of business, even though their mission be solely that of sightseeing.

The water, already at an unprecedented

The levee near Wilson, Ark. went ont

yesterday afternoon, to dispoyt them
selves between cocktails in their usual
afternoon revelry, their hearts were
chilled by finding cards on the tables

fore long the floor was filled with dancers
and the first tcetotalcrs' tea tango was In

The proceeds of all the robberics OF
which Mr.. BostwiclS has been told will
