vAeRANcY HEARING HELD.
After Short DeIiberation Jury Return
 Verdict of Not Guilty.

The case of the State vs. fifteen Newtown women, named in the acom- plaint as vagrants; was tried before Justice of the Peace Lally on Tuesday afternoon. Attorneys Kearney and Quiat represented the defendents while County Attorney Wall lsprosec: t. ed the case. The defendants request
 ed a Jury trial and cut of venire Of IS mon twelve citizens were chosen to try the merits of the case. The court room was crowded to it's capacity with spectators to listen to the trial which consumed the en- tire afternoon. A large number of witnesses had been summoned by the prosecution but the testimony of only seven or eight was heard. One case out of the fifteen was tried, the defendant in this instance beins Jackie Frazier, who was charged with vagrancy:
 From the first the case developed into a wordy battle between the at |torneys on both sides, oratory s and recriminat tions flowing in a steady stream, and innumerable objections being fnterspersed by the attorneys for the defense On this account the testimony of the witnesses elicited but little information of value, how ever, it transpired from question put to one witness that the defendant was engaged in the occupation of hair dressing, which left the charge against her in doubt,a
 At times the trial assumed most humorous proportions and the court as several times compelled to rap for order From witnesses examined but little information, was gained and at 5:3O o'clock, at the conclusion of the arguments of the attorneys, the case went to the jury. After a delib- eration of about thirty minutes the jury returned, a verdict of not guilty, owing to insufficient evidence.
 It is understood, however, that the charges against the remaining four teen defendants will be pressed at an early date.

WANT REGULATIONS AND
 RATES ON ROOSEVELT ROAD

PHOENIX, Ariz., March 19.- On the ground that public safety and general welfare demand definite or ders, rules and regulations affecting automobile traffic on auto stage lines over the Roosevelt road, the Globe Phoenix stage line has filed formal request with the corporation com mission praying for a general inves- tigation of traffic conditions.
 The petition, which is signed by Wesley Hill for the company, states that the company has approximately $10,000 invested in equipment, and that number of other persons, firms or corporations, are also engaged in the business over the same road and between the same terminals, and asks the commission to prescribe such rates, and fix such rules for the safety of the travelling public as may be deeemed advisable. No date has been set for hearing the matter, and it will probably go over until Chairman Jones of the commission returns from Chicago.

COPPER $1,ooo A
 TON IN GERMANY

GENEVA, March 19.-The high price of $1,000 a ton for copper de- Ivered on the frontier is offered by the German government, while the cost at Marseilles or Genoa is from $35O to $400 ton. The opportun- ity has tempted many spectators. At Chiasso lately barrels of wine ticketed off Frankfort were found to be a quarter filled with copper. At Singen on the Swiss-German frontier near Lake Constance, the SWISS au- thorities became suspicious of the extraordinary number of funerals crossing the frontier and finally or dered one of the coffins to be opened. It was full of copper.

 ed Out in Tombstone Court.


 The constftutionaIity of the prohibit tion amendment is still under fire in the state courts. Habeas corpus pro ceedings have been filed in the su- perior court of Cochfse county at Tombstone in behalf of George W. Bragg. by his attorney Eugene S. Ives.
 Bragg was the manager of the Elite Cosmopolitan Club of Tucson, an or ganizatfon of co1ored men, and was arrested at Douglas a short time ago on the charge of having introduced into the state quantity of liquor con- trary to the provisions of the new dry law. He brought three suit cases filled with bottles from New Mexico.
 Bragg pleaded guilty, was fined $50 and sentenced to serve sixty days in the county jail.
 In the habeas~ corpus proceedings Attorney Ives sets forth that the in troduction of liquor clause in the amendment is unconstitutional and that being the case, Bragg pleaded guilty to the offense that is not a crime.

The Retort Courteous-

An amusing incident is alleged to have taken place recently in Morenci when a pupil of one of our well
 known teachers was obliged to leave school, as the family were leaving town. When the teacher said good bye to the little girl, who had been
 an exemplary scholar, she felt that a few words of advice would not be out of place and in closing her re-
 marks said, T hope you will do
 your best wherever you may be and
 that you will always be an honest,
 upright woman, brave and true." To which the little lady, answered,
 Thank you, teacher, and I hope you'll be the same."

TOMBSTONE, Mar. 23.-With inn pressive solemnity and before a crowd of morbidly curious spectators which gathered in the courtroom, Judge A. c.

 Judge Lockwood set the date of ex- Iecution for Friday. June 4. The men will be hanged in the state peniten- tiary at Florence. for which place they left this morning. in charge of a depu- ty sheriff.
 Neither prisoner responded when asked if he knew of any reason why sentence should not be pronounced on him, nor did either one lose his nerve when the sentence. was pro- nounced, though the faces of both were very grave as Judge Lockwood, in solemn tones, uttered the fateful words: And decree that on June 4th you shall hang by the neck until dead. dead. dead, and may God have mercy on your souls.''

BIBLE READING As A PENALTY.

Sentencing criminals to the navy
Nas become unpopular. The navy did
not like it, and most judges came to
respect the natural prejudice against
forced recruitings of this kind. 1t has
remained for Los Angeles judge to
discover a new and unique substitute
for the penitentiary. Many new things
come from Los Angeles, but no Los
Angeles phenomenon has been more
amazing than this of judge sentenc.
ing young offender to read the Bible.
The culprit was given the choice OF
ten years in the penitentiary or 80
days in the county Jail devoted to
careful and exhaustive study of Holy
Writ, says Cleveland Plain Dealer.
The latter alternative was chosen, and
just at present the young man is dis.
playing all the virtues of the most
conscientious student. He is read.
ing his Bible early and late, and read
ing it with care and thoughtfulness.
For at the end of 80 days the judge,
who is a Bible student himself, will
hold an examination of this class of
one. Questions will be asked which
will tend to prove or disprove the hon.
esty of the Bible readers application
to his task. If satisfactory record
is made the student will be allowed
to 20 free. If he "iukes" the peniten.
tiary will receive him.
