 Scathjngly Arraig11ed In
 Superior Court By J4rjst
PronOuncing of Sentence Upon Bracken and Floyd The Occasion for Judge Smith to Declare That Certain Evils in Court and in the Community Must Cease At Once; Justice is Tempered With Mercy.
(From Thursdays Daily.)


 Perjurers and panderers had better beware. The Superior court i'll the future will not prove a healthy place for the former or Yavapai county for the latter, both being classed as "undesir- ables' yesterday by Judge Smith from the bench ill one of the most scatching arraignments ever heard in this or any other court.
 Justice cannot be trif1ed with, and the morals of the community must and shall be protected. The sword of Damocles hangs over the head of every witness who does not realize the solemnity of the oath he takes, and the slender thread which holds that sword, symbol of righteous retribution, will be cut, resulting in dire con- sequences to the offender As the jurist said: T say to that witness, whether it be in a civil or criminal case, that the shadow of the penitentiary is across that chair (the witness chair) for him. and the sword of Damocles hangs over his head, and it will be my duty to cut the hair holding that sword"

 That much enthusiasm is being manifested outside of Prescott and Arizona, for that matter, regarding the Frontier celebration, is evident from the fact that a representative of the Universal Film Company was sent out from the main office to en- dcavor to make arrangements to sc cure the exclusive right of filming this celebration.
 The executive committee is com posed of Messrs. E. A. Kastner, prcsi- dent; F. L. Haworth, vicc-president, and F. c. Brown, sccretary-trcasurcr
 Following arc the chairmen of the various committees selected to date: Advertising, w. c. Greenwood; Con sessions, J. NJ. Aiken; Hotels and Accommodations. C. F. Gentry; Re ception, w. H. Timcrhoff; Music, Ed. Shumatc; Auto, R. J. Roper; Dccora- tions, Lester Ruffner; Transportation, K. \. Frcdcricks.
 Chairman Haworth, of the program committee expects to have the pro gram in full ready for distribution within the next week or ten days. Ad- matter has been placed with the special number of the "Billboard,' from which such good results were last year.
 Already assurances arc had of special excursions from the Salt River valley and indications point that Frontier Days this year will be a grand success.

 unanimous view of all of them that Section 1 of the 23rd amendment

 as directed by Section ? of that amendment"
 1 shall take that into consideration very carefully in pronouncing sen tence, Mir. Bracken.

Have you any thing to offer now as legal cause why judgment and sentence should not be pronounced against you? No legal cause being by you shown, or appearing, the judgment of the Court is that you, William Bracken, are guilty of the crime of misdemcanor, to-wit; selling intoxicating liquor. and the judgment and sentence of the court thereon is that you be pun ished therefor as follows, to-wit: that you be fined in the sum of one hun drcd dollars.

The 90-day jail sentence will be suspend ed, under order of the court, during your good behavior The statutes provide that the court shall impose a jail sentence as well as a fine, and while it would not be my as l have stated, ordinar- fly to suspend jail sentence, yet con sidering that this crime was commit ted so soon after the amendment went into effect during period of uncer- -ainty and considering the fact that you have given up this business en- irely 1 shall suspend the jail sentence turing good behavior.

 Before pronouncing sentence in this case, in view of the circumstances connected with this case and other criminal cases which have been tried at this term of court. and civil and criminal cases that have been tried during my experience upon the bench, feel 1t my duty to make some refer encc to provision Of the statutes of the State of Arizona making the crime of perjury a felony Under the laws of the state of Arizona, any witness who takes the stand and takes the oath and swcars falsely to any material matter connected with the case, commits the crime of per jury. am not applying this to any particular witnesses in any case, but l am saying that no man with com- mon sense could sit upon this bench and watch trials that occur here, without knowing that frequently per Jury 1s committed by witnesses, often Intentionally, wilfully and premedi- tatedly 1T that occurs in the future and it is observed by the court I shall consider it my duty then and there 10 refer such case to the coun- ty attorney for prosecution under the laws relating to perjury.

 This cause arose on the 2lst day of January, 1915, during this period of uncertainty and just three weeks after the prohibition amendment had gone into effect, and, in pronouncing sentence, even though jury has found this defendant guilty, am go- ing to take into consideration these mitigating circumstances.

 This statement concerning perjury applies to all witnesses for whatever side they may appear in any case, whether in behalf of any party in a civil case or in behalf of the state or thc defendant in any criminal case The oath which is administered to a witness is the only protection which society has, and the only protection that any may have from dcspotic and tryannous conduct A man may as well be sent to the penitentiary or to jail by wilfully false swearing on the part of the states witnesses. as he may escape that penalty through false swearing on behalf of his own witnesses.
 When jurors are sworn in any case fl is their duty to weigh the testimony of witnesses carefully and to judge cf the dcmcanor of witnesses ill or der to determine the truth of their statements, and intelligent men going into the jury-box should consider such, matters with the greatest care and caution

WASHINGTON, Jan. 30.-Possi-
bilities Of war and the state OF the
,country's defenses furnished the SUBJ
ject Of another long discussion in the
House today with the naval appro-
priation bill under consideration.

much debated features had not been
reached when the House adjourned
and the bill went over until Tuesday.

Sons for the creation of chief OF op-
erations to hear a war board in the
navy department and authority to use
an unexpended balance of 81 900, 900

son Immediately introduced the chief
of operations section as a separate
bill to be considered later. The
Democratic leaders expect to provide
lthe aeronautic money by adding ST.

slight, he declared 1t would be pos
sible for the victor in the present
European war to disarm all other
nations and become mistress OF the
world.

Of the naval committee, told the
House the nation was amply prepared
