MEXICANS CAUGHT
 SMUGGLING IN MESCAL

YUMA, May 2l.-Four Mexicans, giving the names of Justo Lopez, Thomas Vallansula, Pedro Robles and Juan Bega, were brought to the coun- ty jail yesterday morning from near east of Andrade, on the Mexican bor- der, by deputies from the sheriff 5 office charged with smuggling.
 It is alleged that the men had AS quarts of Mexican booze known as mescal, which is said to produce moro jags than four times the same quan- tity of regular whiskey. The mescal is being held at the county jail for evidence.
 The United States customs officers were notified by Sheriff Mel Green leaf and the men will be tried by the government on charges of smuggling.
 The men could also be tried by the Yuma county authorities on a charge of introducing intoxicating liquors in to the State of Arizona, in violation of the prohibition law, but in order to save Yuma county the heavy ex- pense of prosecuting the men, they will be punished under the United States law.
 It is said that there has been con siderable contraband liquor brought over the line at various points, but this is the first time it has been brought into Yuma county.

TEAMS MAY BE
 SELECTED IN PRESCOTT
(From Sundays. Daily.)

N- AOAAA OaAN0g
 Secretary Fraser of the Chamber of Commerce has learned from Man ager Will L. Clark. of the United Verde Copper Company, that Ari- zona is to furnish a. team to com pete in the Interstate meeting of the Southwestern Mines Safety Associa- ton to be held in connection with the Panama Pacific exposition, San Fran cisco, September 1924.
 At date prior to the final compe- tition it Is proposed to hold a meet ing in one of the cooler cities of Ari- zona at which all but one team will be eliminated.
 Mir. Clark has been good enough to write L. s. Gates, general manager Ray Consolidated, at Ray, that he favors Prescott for this meeting, for the reason that the hotel facilities at Jerome, due to the fact that the Mon tana Hotel was burned down recent ly, will hardly be adequate to the ac- commodation of the mining men and participants who will compose the delegation.
 The Chamber of Commerce is now working with M-. Gates to secure this meeting for the mile high city and has offered the use of the Northern Arizona Fair grounds for that pur- pose. About 60 will attend, including some of the most prominent men in the copper industry of Arizona.

SPOTTER CAUGHT SOLICITING A
 BR|BE
(From Wednesdays Daily)

agalnSt alleged bootleggerS III this county, and commissioned as a deputy sheriff Monday after noon, was arrested last evening at 9:30 o'clock in the Birch Bros. establishment on MonteZuma street by Policeman Worth Rybon and placed in the city jail. Shortly afterwards, there was a formal complaint made and the warrant of arrest issued, which will be served this morn ing.
 Sensational as were the ar rests of the 9 men and women charged with bootlegging a short time ago, that incident pales into insignihcance when compared with the features surrounding the taking into custody of one of the main witnesses for the State.
 The plot is highly dramatic and contains all the clements, and more of the most highly eX- citing scenario ever enacted be- fore a moving picture camera. From the time the idea that easy money could be secured, had germinated in the brain of Alto until the moment he walked out of room into the arms of a waiting officer, there is action, intense action, every minute. In the background are five men, all well known citizens of Prescott, who under the screen of dark ness heard the solicitation for a bribe. They will testify that Alto asked for $400 and offered in return to leave the country and take two of his companions with him. Then the climax the remark of Sidney Birch that he was not in the bribing busi ness, furnishes a denouement worthy of the most thrilling melodrama ever staged in this or any other cline.
 If the attempt to secure pass age money for himself and two companions to New York was intended by Alto to be 'plant' it proved to a dismal failure and resulted in his own. undoing. According to the story unfolded by Robert Birch last evening the dry" detective was more eager for graft than the supervisors ill San Francisco following the fire, whom Abe Ruef, their leader said would 'eat the paint off the side of a house." Alto evidenced no timidity in going after the coin, once he had made up his mind that it could be secured. He phoned twice to the Birch Bros place last Friday, and get ting no response to his request that he be met near the depot, appeared in person, prepared to barter away his obligations to the people who had hired him. His story was cunningly devised and once he had secured the ear of his prospective victim, he un- folded a tale that would have done credit to person of great CT mental calibre than he poss- esses. Deprecating the Occupa- ton he was engaged in, he said he was tired of it, and desired to get away. Investigation had proved to him, he remarked, that the Birch Bros. had been very much maligned, and he did not care to be party to the effort being made to 'get them" He also intimated that he really had no evidence against Sid Birch or anyone connected with that place.
 At the same time and in almost the same breath, he denounced his colleague in the "spotting" business, Van Order. Birch led him on to make a definite propos- ition and then to avoid giving a definite reply, said the matter would have to be taken up with i Al

attempted 10 see Robert Birch near the railroad depot. Friday afternoon a man called up the Birch Broth CTS Cafe and while speaking to At Cook, one of the employees, over the phone said that he was Benito Alto and wanted to meet Birch down at the station. Birch did not happen to be in at the time so another call was sent in later by the same man saying he was Alto and wanted to meet Birch on business near the depot. The last call was received by Larry Duff While these calls had been sent in Birch had been out visiting with his father and whom he returned lie was surprised to hear that the stool pigeon wanted to see him. A short time late- as he was standing in his cafe the spotter walked through the front door and went all the way to the rear going out the back way. He returned in a short time and waved his sombrero at Birch, who then became curious and motioned him into the dining booth which car ries the number B
