TWO PER CENT" GOES AGAINST |. A. BROWN
 IN SUPERIOR COURT
In Exhaustive Opinion Judge 4. C. Lockwood Rules That Two Per Cent" Beer is a Violation of Statute.

Iae famous two per cent" case. in- vo.vIus the legality of the sale of bargtte and other so-called near beers,' was decided yesterday by Judge A. c. Lockwood The defend ant in the criminal action, l.. A. Brown, was fined $50 and sentenced Co thirty days in jail Attorneys for the defeudanttook immediate appeal to the supreme court
 The two per cent' case has at- tracted no end of attention in the state of Arizona and involves the le- gal sale oi all beverages, which are malt or alcoholic The opinion of the court reviews the case at length and sets out the salient features of the controversy.
 Excerpts from tine opinion follow:
 The defendant in this case is charged substantially with selling beer, ale and intoxicating liquor contrary to the Prohibitory Amend ment of the Constitution of Arizona. The action was tried before the court and submitted, after the evidence was introduced on briefs, as Co the law Of the case.
 There are two questions involved. First. What was the substance sold by Brown, for the sale Of which he was arrested? and second. What is prohibited by the Constitutional Am endment? On the answer to these questions will depend the judgement of the court The first question, what was sold" is mixed question of law and fact The other, "what is prohibited" is purely of law
 Contrary to more or less prevalent opinion courts cannot decide ques- tions of fact upon rumor street talk. or what evidence might or should have been introduced by the party but solely upon what appears in court The State, m this case. did not at- tempt in any manner to prove that Barette. the liquor which Brown ad- mits he sold is intoxicating. while the defense produced a number of re- putable witnesses more or less famil- far with the liquor, who testified pos itively that it would be practically im- possible for any man to become intoX- icated on Barette. no matter how much he drank. On the evidence. the court is cbmpelled to hold that the liquor sold by L. A. Brown in this case was nonintoNicatug. The only question then remains as to whether what was sold was beer
 "The Standard Dictionary defines beer as follows: An alcoholic fer mented iiquor made from malt and hops, while Webster says "A fer mentcd liouor made from any matted grain, with hops or other bitter flavor

quors as there are states in the Union, no two being exactly alike. The states of Georgia, Kentucky, Louisia- ma and West Virginia. with statutes prohibiting the sale Of various speci- fife substances. under different condi- tions. held that even though a sub stance be named in the Act as pro hibited, the defendant may introduce evidence to show that the same is non-intoxicating and if he satisfies the jury that it Is Of that character, hemust be acquitted
 "The line of reasoning in all cases Is the same. and is substantially set forth in Roberts ys State, SO s. D. l0S4. as follows The rule, approved by the wisdom of centuries Is to con slider the law. the mischief, and the remedy The old law apthorized the manufacture and sale of intoxicating liquors. The mischief was the use of intoxicating liquors as a beverage. The remedy was prohibition by law of the manufacture and sale of intoN- icating liquors of all kinds and of cy- cry description when used as bev- craze On Che other hand. there is @ strong line of authorities taking the contrary view. The states of Ne braska and Oklahoma. under statutes prohibiting the sale of certain speci. fife substances, on the contrary. held fatly that when the legislature names any particular substance as within the ban of the law. it is net for the courts to qualify or interpolate words. but they must take the Act to mean exactly what it says. The decision from Oklahoma is particularly in point. The Constitution of the States of Oklahoma provided that any per son who shall sell any intoxicating liquor of any kind, including beer. ale and wine and the supreme cou1 of Oklahoma held that under this consti- tuuional provision, the liquor sold must be intoxicating. The legislature subsequentlypassed law Co the cf- feet that it should be unlawful to sell any spurious, vinous. fermented or malt liquor or any imitation or sub- stitute therefor and the court held that in a prosecution under the stat ute, it would be no defense Co show that the liquor was nonintoNicating The stateA of Idaho. Maine. Iowa Massachusetts and Rhode Island have statutes where the legislature spcciIi- cally declares certain classes of drink to be intoxicating, and the courts held that where this had been done that while the legislature cannot, by law. make anything intoxicating which is non-intoNicating, when they specif- cally place the liquors in that class it is a prohibition of the sale of such such liquors. and it is no defense that in fact, they are nonintoucating
 'TEe reasoning which supports these cases is only good if it be held that when the legislature specifically names a substance as prohibited. the court cannot inquire into its qualitie5 as an intoyicant. The logic of this class Of cases is best set forth by the language of the court in Ev parte Locllman, supra. Tt is not to be pre- aumed that the legislature would have entered into an enumeration Of eel. tain drinks commonly known and uu- dcrstood to contain the clement Of

MORE ROASTERS MAY
 BE ADDED TO QUEEN
 SHELTER IN DOUGLAS
Entire Battery of RoaSterS in Copper Queen Shelter Now Busy, Part on BiSbee SuI- phides and Part With Concen- trateS.

DOUGLAS. May 5-SiNteen roast CTS are now working in the reduction plant Of the Copper Queen company here. being the entire battery and treating not alone. the concentrates from the Moctezuma Copper company but also Bisbee sulphides. Five roast CTS have been working on Biabce sul- phides for a time and the sixth was blown in last week
 The heavy shipments of MOCtezu. ma concentrates, which are stored at every place where room can be found in the smelter yards, guarantee that the roasters will be kept busy for a long time to come. In addition the new crushing plant completed few weeks ago. assures that if any short age occurs in future on account ol stoppage of tralfice on the Naco1ari railroad there will be plenty of ma terial at hand to keep up the general average by using Bisbee ores
 From Bisbee comes the report that it is now common gossip in the min. ing division of the company that more roasters and a larger crushing plant will have to be built at the local plant, at any rate within the next few years. This is to take care Of the dimunitiou in quantity of oxide ores and the in- crease n sulphides as depth is at taincd in the company properties.
 In view of the excellent outlook for the copper market for long period such an addition as that spoken of might logically be expected to be made However, there is nothing off, ncial in the rumor

YANKEES TRY TO ENLIST.

LIliRPOOL, May Hubert William Estey a student and Harry Tanck. a chauffeur, a pair of well set up young Americans who arrived in Liverpool on the steamer Deyonian from Boston on April 1 and Immediately enlisted in the motor transport division of the Army Service Corps, were fined 60 cents each in a court here as unregis- tered aliens in a military area. The fine was merely nominal and imposed solely in order to make no exceptions to the enforcement of the law But it developed that the adventurous pair had stated that they were Canadians when they took the oath of allegiance to the King This constitutes false at- testation, so, according to the Chief Constable, it is likely that they will not be allowed to serve.

ing matter The two definitionsNare
 substantially the same, and the court
 of many states, in passing on this question have practically agreed. lt is true that the secondary definition of beer includes some other substances which are not covered by the denui- tions given above. but in construing a statute, the plain and ordinary meaning of words is to be taken. un- less it is clearly shown that the legis- lative body intended another one The court therefore holds that beer will be considered as fcrmented liquor, made from any matted grain. with hops and other bitter Havoring mat ter.
 'The evidence of the State and the defense, In this case agree substau- tially on the process oG manufacture of the liquor in question Without going into it in detail, it is quite clear in the mind of the court that Barette is beer, regardless Of what name it may be called by From the above, We find that the substance sold by the defendant in this case was a non intoxicating beer.
 "The next and more serious ques- tion is. What is prohibited by the Constitution of Arizona The part Of the Constitutional Amendment Go be considered in this case reads. Every person who sells any ardent spirits. ale. beer, wine or intoxicating liquor Of any kind Co any person in the state oi Arizona The ordinary rule of the construction of statutes is that words in common use are Co be considered in their natural, plain and ordinary sig nificance. It is a very well-settlCd rule that SO long as the language used is unambigu0us, a departure from 's natural meaning is not justified by any consideration of it's consequences. or of public policy; and it is the plain duty of the court 10 give it full force and effect And where the meaning Of the language used is plain it must be given effect by the courts, or they would be assuming legislative authority There is To need in this case Co consider the meaning of the terms. ardent spirits, ale. wine OF intoxicating liQuor" The sole ques- ton Of law is what is meant by the word "beer' in the Constitution. Should it be taken alone as it stands. or in interpreting the Constitution. should the word intoxicating" be deemed as urcfiyeI.
 Both Messrs. Richardson and Pattee attorneys for the defendant and Mr. O. Gibson. who prepared the brief for the State, deserve great credit for the manner in which they presented the respective views. Many authorities cited are not in point on this question but go rather to the question of the judicial notice that beor is intoxicat- ing but that the defendant may iu- troducc evidence to show that it is not With this proposition of law this court agrees. but that is not the question al issue in the present case. On the precise point involved herein, there is a hopeless variance of author iucs. and none of the eases cited can be considered as decisive, for the req son that they all depend on statutes. and there seems to be as many stat, utes on the question of the sale of li-

III Bountful Feast of Rare Bargains for Remnant Day
Ostriches Are Cheap.
the Pittsburgh ohrcnicle-Telegraph.

From the Pittsburgh Chronicle-Telegraph.
Pity the sorrows of the ostrich
ranchers of Arizona, who find that their
birds have deprecated in value from
$3.50 to IS, with practically no market
even at that figure. They have tried
to utilize the big birds as food. but seem
to have failed to develop an appetite
for half spring ostrich on toast. or
ostrich hash, or any other form OF
ostrich cookery, among the regular
boa rders at the Arizona hotels. or even
among the transients who might be
willing to sample a little OF the white
meat by way of curiosity.
In former years there was a. demand
for ostrich feathers which made the
propagation of ostriches a profitable
business in California and Arizona but
the great ostrich feather market OF the
globe is in London. and In that me-
tropolis plumes from our own west en-
tered into competition with plumes
from Africa but the demand was suffi-
GENTLY large to take care of all ship
ments. until the war broke out, and the
ostrich feather trade collapsed. Many
birds have been turned loose in the
Arizona wilds, because to keep them
and feed them under the circumstances
is a losing proposition. AS that coun-
try is favorable to the development OF
the ostrich. large hocks OF these great
birds are likely to be found in Arizona
in days to come.

THREE MEN SHOT
IN $40 ROBBERY
One of the Gang Of Auto Bandits Was
Mortally Wounded by
Policeman.

United Press Leased Wire Service
CHICAGO, Feb. 15.-Three men
were shot in running gun fight with
auto bandits in West Van Buren, street
early today. Policeman Martin Hogan
was two squares away when high
powered automobile dashed up to the
door of P. Puccettis' saloon. Three
men leaped cut and entered the build
ing. They forced Stephen Seconni,
the bartender into the ice box, shot
down Antonio MCni, the porter, when
he attempted to run out and were
rifiing the till when Hogan, attracted
by the shooting, arrived.
Opening fire on the policeman, the
robbers dashed for their machine,
the engine of which was running. AS
it started, Hogan opened fire. One of
the bandits, who gave his name later
as Thomas cord. dropped from the
running board, mortally wounded. 1t
was not until Seconni was liberated
from the ice box that he knew he hal
been slightly wounded by a glancing
bullet on his temple.
The two robbers who escaped, car
ried away with them the $40 which
they got from the cash register.
