INVESTIGATING RESULTS
 OF DRY LAW"
(From Fridays Daiiy.)

Arriving in Prescott yesterday Geo. Herbert Smalley, former secretary of the Pima County Taxpayers Associa- ton, started his work of comparing conditions during the first six months of 1914, and the same period during the present year to see what effect, if any, the prohibition amendment has had on the progress of the State.
 Smalley has obtained statistics in every county in the State, except Yav- apai and two other northern counties, and his work will soon be completed. He is employed by big "dry" lead CT in Chicago, who expects to use the data in the next campaign in the windy city, and also by a group of eastern capitalists who are anxious to know what effect the recent dras- tic measure has had in the State, and whether it has improved condi- tions for financial investment.
 The investigator declared yester- day that he has found in every city and county that taxes have increased slightly because of the "dry" law, but that crime and arrests have decreased. He is Investigating from both the f. nancial and social standpoints and leaves nothing untouched from the records of the courts and assessors to the records of the big mining com panies, where he declares efficiency has increased wonderfully.
 He said that the principal raise in taxes is because of the many i'm provements which are not warrant ed because of no increase in the prop erty valuation. This, according to his viewpoint, will be overcome, and taxes reduced to normal as soon as the improvements take effect by in creasing the value of property.
 His statistics for the prohibition man are to be printed in pamphlet form and for the capitalists in bool form. He expects that as soon as his statistics reach the eastern men they will cause an influx of capital for development, which will do won ders for the entire State.

(From Saturdays Daily.)
 w. s. Wilhelm, who is operating he Ruth zinc mines on Indian creek, six miles to the south of this city, yesterday gave out the important in formation that a smelting and reduc- lion plant would be installed at once.

 Mir. Wilhelm states the smelter vii! work in conjunction with the concen- trating mill. and with heavy tonnage exposed in the mine from development in recent months, he is quite opti- mistic over carrying steady reduction for months to come.

The New State, Elk and Perry nearby, under operation by MT. Wilhelm. likewise, will have their product treated at the Ruth plant

 A recess was taken by the court during which time the attorneys rep resenting the murderers were able to work themselves out program which would permit of aA appeal to the Stu preme court. The judgment roll just completed contains the following which has been copied verbatim and which shows the record of the un- usual procedure under the caption, judgment"

After the motion was denied court adjourned and the defense will start presenting its side of the case this morning.

O'Sullivan said he would have brought the team and wagon in the court room but could not because of the stairs. Attorney Robert E. Nor rison, for the defense, objected to the jury viewing the team and wagon on the grounds that it was not the same outfit that had been seen on No vember 2, 1914, at Humboldt. The jury was allowed to view the outfit which was stationed in the plaza near the court house.

Knight, the GUS :odian of the company, had been brought to Prescott to identify it, Bishop went to see Collier and asked him where he had gotten the desk. Collier stated that he had purchased t from a Mexican for $3.50.
 Professor w. D. Baker was called 70 the stand by the county attorney and he testified that he had studied astronomy. O'Sullivan then asked linn at what time the sun set on the second of last November. Baker re- piled that he had not had time to figure the proposition out theoreti- :al1y. but, according to an almanac 'le found that it had set about 5:42 o'clock in the afternoon.

SHIPPED THREE
 BARRELS OF BOOZE
(From Thursdays Oaily)

(From Thursdays Oaily0
 How Mike Chemis, of Humboldt, obtained three barrels of booze from Phoenix and sold it in the shelter city in the basement of his home was the story brought out by witnesses for the United States in the Federal court yesterday at the trial of the man who is charged by the govern ment with selling liquor without a United States license.
 Chemis, according to the story, re ccived the liquor from man named Joe Stazanick, Stazanick expressing it to himself at Cherry creek and then disposing of it to Chemis, who sold it as retailer.
 The defendant, as was shown by testimony of a United States internal revenue official, purchased and holds license which permits him to sell liquors at his saloon in Humboldt. Other testimony was to prove that Chemis had been selling the liquor in the cellar of his home which IS about 100 yards from his saloon. Ac- cording to the law, whiskey, wine, beer and other intoxicating liquors must be sold in the place in which the seller has been issued the li- cense for.
 John Barich, J. s. Murray, Jim Gut try and H. C. Abbott testified to hav- ing purchased liquor from Chemis in his cellar while Chief Deputy Clerk Frank T. Blandy, of the internal rev enue office at Phoenix, testified to having issued the license for the sa- loon, ard not the cellar of Chemis' home. He identified the license which he had issued. O. D. Knee, a Wells Fargo man at Phoenix, told Of having received the consignment Of booze and Anto Peters, a transfer man told of having delivered it. Sheriff Joe Young related the story of the recent raid at Humboldt which resulted in the arrest of Chemis and the charge of bootlegging which is now pending against him in the Su- pcrior court.
 United States Attorney Flynn and his assistant, Gerald Jones, are prose cutting the case, while Norris and Mitchell and H. H. Linney are handl- ing the defense. Those selected for the jury were: L. f. Hesla, Alvin Stukey, Ira Edwards, J. Van Dick son. Claude Murray Harry Haskins, Rudolph Baehr, J. H. Orthel, Edward Iselin, F. E. Ross, L. C. Derrick and P. B. Dreiser
 $1,20o for Brothers Death.
 Twelve hundred dollars was the amount awarded Nels K. Nelson, as administrator of the estate of Olaf Nelson, deceased, for the death of his brother by jury in the Feder- al court yesterday after deliberating 90 minutes.
 Whether it was a victory for the plaint&f or the defendant, the Con solidated Arizona Smelling Company is hard to decide. The plaintiff sued for $15,0O0, but before the case went to trial was offered the sum of $1,0O0 and costs by Attorney LeRoy Ander- son for the company. Anderson de- clared yesterday that he had offered the plaintiff $500 before the case came up for trial in the Federal court, but stated the offer was refused.
 Attorney P w. O'Sullivan made his closing argument before the jury was by Judge Sawtelle.
