Skirmishes in preparation for what some think will prove a neat legal IattIe, were inaugurated in Federal Court yesterday, when the attorneys in the Alexander case got down to work in deadly earnest. Captain J l.. B. Alexander, who is defending his Er0ther James E. Alexander, on q charge of making fradulent returns of government accounts and Joseph l. Morrison, United States attorney for the district of Arizona, were the opponents in yesterdays preliminary, which reached the first witness stage.
 A jury selection and an introduc tion of certain papers in evidence provoked the cross fire of objections and exceptions. which finally brought the case to q close a half-hOur be- fore time, because a certain we'll known educated Indian chose to su perintcnd the picking of Egyptian long fiber cotton in the fields near Mesa city, rather than attend court as the official interpreter to the Pimas A great quantity of certified copies and some originals of the papers with which J. A. Alexander Lad to do when he was superintend- ent of the Pima school had just been entered under the r1plu Ire OI OD- 5ections by the defense when MT. Morrison said:
 If the court pleases we will call the Pima interpreter and have him sworn"
 He called one Thomas Valenzuela.
 No sooner had the name of Valen- zuela been spoken in court than Capt Alexander was on his feet.
 Your honor, we object to this in tcrpreter on the ground that he is not fair He thinks i'll of us"
 Pressed for particulars by his hon Or. the captain placed J. E. Alexander on the stand and he testified that VaIenzucla had been employed by the government as a carpenter while the defendant was superintendent.

DEMONSTRATION TRAIN
 DRAWS BIG CROWDS
Greater Interest Taken in It Than
 Last Year

Professor J. J. Thornber, of the agricultural department of the Uni versty of Arizona, who has been with the demonstration train in the north, was in the city yesterday on his way to Tucson. MT. ThOrnber said that the interest which has been manifest ed in the train at all points has eX- ceeded the expectations of the man agement. The crowds have been much larger than they were a year ago and this year many women have been in attendance at the daily lee lures. The train is much better equipped than it was year ago when there were little more than exhibits to be seen This year there are not only the exhibits of the highest deVel- opment in crop producing and stock raising, but there is shown how the development is produced. There is much teaching by contrast.
 Great interest is taken in the do- nestle science feature of the train and many women and girls are asking how they can learn more about it. They are told that the university this year is giving special attention to that branch of education.
 Speaking of the short course for farmers which will begin at the uni versity on January and will continue two weeks, Professor Thornber said that the attendance would be much larger than it was year ago. He thinks that there will be a class of not fewer than 15O members from diff ferent parts of the state. He par ticularly urges upon new settlers who have come from parts of the country where farm methods are entirely diff ferent from those in this country to take the course. He illustrates the need of the newcomer in this respect by explaining that when he came to Arizona after having made scien- tific study of agriculture for seven years, he found that there was much to learn here that had not been before brought to his attention.

WHAT IT COSTS TO MAKE A THE
 LYRICAL FAILURE.

Tn the November American Maga- zine q. well known theatrical manager writes an article in which he gives nancy interesting facts about the the atrical business. He gives the figures in connection with number of fam ous successes and failures and he tells, as follows, precisely how much it cost to produce in New York a play that failed:
 ''Bv way of recapitulation I am go- ing to print the actual settling account of a New York failure. This play was tried upstate for four performances, brought into new York the succeeding Monday and sent to the storehouse the following Saturday. It was written by competently cast, substantially and at tractively set and as economically handled as a play can be handled. The money employed was show money and not outside money It easily could have cost two thousand dollars more than it did if the management had not been both expert and honest.
 'It is the account not of an inflated but of a deflated theatrical experiment, and it shows what can be done. There was but one set which saved consid- erable money. For less than five thousand dollars they gave every chance to a play they thought had a chance to win. And this was the re- suit:
