That is the oldest miX-up of motor
cycle justice that even the learned
counsel for the Phoenix Motorcycle
club ever 'hearn tell of; and the end
is not yet
The exact chronicle of the case,
so far as could be learned upon care
ful inquiry yesterday was:
Eearly last week number of mo-
torcyclists determined to take Sun
day jaunt to Florence for their healths'
sake. Sunday afternoon, as they
were leaving the Pinal county seat.
the offense against the dignity of
the law of Florence, was outraged.
As follows:
Ed Doheney, leading the bunch out
of the prison town oversped. He was
warned and turned loose by two Of
ficers, who intercepted him.
Amos Dye, following closely be-
hind, is said to have scattered the
minions of the law by charging them
on his low rakish motor bark.
Ergo, Dyes offense was considered
the most henious.
Not able to mote out and gather
in the offenders the Florence mar

order to hold all motorcyclists who
might be coming into the valley on
the state highway.
The constabulary drag-net estab-

most complete and effective ever
known. 1t gathered in every limo

not concerned in the trouble at Flor

for made by the legislature"
The Poor litigant
In the afternoon session of the SEN
ate there was a spirited discussion of
Senator Karns' bill amending the law
In relation to the items that may be
taxed as court costs. The amendment
consists only in the inclusion of jur-
ors' fees in the list of costs, whereas
they are now paid by the state or the
county, under, in the opinion of Mr..
Harms, mistaken theory that in some
way this arrangement is an advantage
to the poor man. But the practice has
been so abused by lawyers, counsel for
those Van Are not DOOR that there is
an annual waste in the state of not less
than 100000
The amendment provided that not
only shall the party who asks for a
Jury be taxed with the cost of it: that
is, he must put of fee of a fixed
amount and that the claim must be
made for jury at the time the case
is set for trial. 1t is the belief of Mr.
Harms that under such an arrangement
jurors will not be summoned in great
numbers and held day after day, fin
ally to be discharged without having
performed any service.
The amendment was vigorously OPP
posed by President Sims in the COM
mittee of the whole who pointed out
the necessity of the present law for the
poor man. He contended that the evils
of which Mr.. Karns complained were
not so much results of the present law
as of the faults of the courts. After a
half hour discussion, the bill was re-
ferred to the committee on judiciary.
Would Enforce Honesty
In the morning session of the senate
a communication from a citizen of
Peoria was read urging the adoption of
a law requiring the exercise of honesty
in the dealings of one man with an
other. 1t would be unlawful to make
any untrue representation in disposing
of an article. Such a law as the CORE

Chief bRAWNER IS
REARRAHG|NG SYSTEM
Will Have More Men on Nights and
in Touch With Telephones.

Chief of Police Walter Brawner is
going to give Phoenix as complete
a system OF police patrollng as posi-
BILE with the force at his command. He
has already determined that there are
more policemen engaged in day work
in proportion to those on night duty
than the situation warrants, and it is
Chief Brawner's plan now to assign
at least three or four Of the day
men to night duty, to establish patrol
districts and see that they are pa
trolled. There is now one mounted
policeman who covers a good por-
ton of territory in the northeast sec
ton Of the city. There are two horses
at the city corral formerly used by
the fire department that can be
utilized as mounts for officers, and
these will be assigned with police
men, one to the Capitol addition and
West Capitol, and the other to the
northern part of the city.
In the absence of police telephone
patrol boxes Chief Brawner has al
ready worked out system that prom
ises to be a reasonably good substi-
tute. Throughout the residence dis
trict it has been heretofore almost
impossible for a policeman to secure
a telephone without awakening people
in their homes, or hurrying to the
downtown district. Yesterday the new
head of the department visited up
wards of twenty-five grocery stores
in the residence district and Secured
from the proprietors permission for
his policemen to use their telephones
at any hour of the night, and sup
piled keys to their establishments
Officers on night patrol will have
a regular beat To cover and will re-
port by telephone and will be at all
| times in position to answer a call
from the policies tation when the red
light appears on the top of the city
hall. Every officer will report for
duty as a specified hour and is not
expected to leave his beat except in
a case of emergency. No changes
are contemplated by the chief at this
time. as it is believed that he has an
efficient and loyal force ready and
able to carry out his orders.

Dye, five dollars apiece-those two
being finally decided upon as the real
culprits. 1t was intimated that if
the money was forthcoming the mo-
torcyclists might forfeit said bail and
let her so at that.

NEW YORK, Jan. 25.-The securi-
ties trading suggested renewal of
last weeks reactionary' trend although
the movement was narrower and the
volume of business in both stocks and
bonds was restricted. Prices rose and
fell intermittently, most fluctuations
being less than one point. The entire
session was influenced by professionals
going mostly to the short account
Pressure on Steel and few other ia
vOrites was almost constant There
We're few gains in stocks in which the
public has little interest. General
news included a new high record for
May wheat with heavier exports of
wheat under negotiation; the resump-
ton on an increased scale of numerous
manufacturing plants, chiefly allied
with the steel industry, and another
rise in copper. There were Indications
of relaxing credit conditions and gains
in many lines of commerce from the
West. which were largely responsible
for the markets recent activity The
railroads reflected this Improvement
in larger volume of tonnage. Bonds

The House Session
The report of the Pioneer Historical
society was received. There was a re-
port also from the Pioneers Home but
it was held to be only a record of
events and lacking the details of the
administration of the home. The re
ports of the state prison was regarded
only as a financial statement lacking
the details of administration. a mes
sage from the governor conveyed the
report of the state historian. A mes
sage was received from the senate an
nouncing the passage on Saturday of
the old age and mothers pension bill.
County Seat Removal
The county seat removal bill was
considered in the house and after hav-
ing been amended was favorably rec
/ commended. The amendment consisted
of correction suggested by the care
| lessness in the preparation of the anti
veto and anti-repeal constitutional
| amendment in which the trainers of the
amendment had failed to distinguish
between the qualified elector and voter.
1t was decided that such action as
should be taken under the county seat
removal bill should be taken by those
| who actually go to the polls and not
by those who remain away
Just before the close of the morning
session. Chaplain Seaborn Crutchfield
asked the privilege of the floor this
morning to make an address on a sub
ject which he vaguely intimated would
be of special interest to old maids and
old bachelors. Therefore, it may be
presumed, perhaps enormously, that
all who appear IN the gallery this
morning will belong to one or the 9TH
er of these unfortunate classes.
To Conserve the Ranges
Chairman Golfer of the live stock
committee of the senate, offered Il bill
in the afternoon session for the protec
ton of the ranges within the control of
the state against overstocking. 1t pro-
poses some such regulation of tho
ranges as the Lever bill proposed for
! the ranges on the public domain.
In this connection. President Sims
! said that he had several communica
( tions from persons with reference to
amendments to the game laws. Mr.
Golfer replied that his committee was
considering such amendments and the
communications We're turned over to
| him.
At the close of the senate session an
nouncoment was made Of the usual af-
! ternoon and night committee meetings
! special interest centering about those
of the appropriations and the public

meet at the usual hours this morning,
