CHARGE THAT HE
 SLAPPED WIFE IS DENIED
(From Fridays Daily.) )

Everett H. Walker filed an answe- in the Superior court yesterday to the complaint of his wife Novella F. Walker, who is suing for a divorce. In his answer he denies every allega- ton in the complaint which charges him with cursing and swearing at his wife on different occasions and that on October 24, 1914, he slapped and struck her and then threatened to kill he with loaded double-barre1 shot gun. His wife also alleges that while in presence of their six-year-old child and others at Jerome during last No vember, he pulled her hair, choked, cursed and threatened to kill her and because of this she took the child and left him.
 Mrs. Walker ill the complaint asks for custody of the child, costs of the suit and half interest in her husbands property and $75 per month alimony. The complaint was filed last No vember.

FATAL TO FREAK
 FASHIONS IS WAR SPIRIT

PARIS, April 22. Correspondence
 of The Associated Press). - Freak
 fashions as well as other ecccntricities have been unable to withstand the ser ious spirit of wartime.
 In the opinion of competent author, ities fashionable women will never again be imprisoned in the narrow gowns of the past few years. It re quires from six to ten yards of ma terial to make the full, flowing, plait- cd reactionary skirt that is coming into vogue. The colors arc very ser ious, black, dark blue and dark gray, but frequently set off by original fan tasies in collars, lapels, vests, stripes and belts in lively colors, like a ray of hope among the sombre thoughts that bcset us" said Rue de la Paix dressmaker.
 The shortncss as well as the fullness of the new skirt affords added physi- cal relief and at the same time lends itself to the increased elegance in styles of footwear. It is predicted that it will also deal a hard blow to the handbag since the opportunities for pockets are immense. A myster- ious law of fashion seems to require a wide hat with a narrow skirt and a narrow hat with full skirt, in con- sequence the broad brims are going out and toques, bicornes and the pop ular "bonnets de police" (fatigue caps) are the rule.
 The great trouble with all this" says an important tradesman of the Rue de la Paix, "is that one hat and one gown now do the service of from six to ten" Instead of ordering re ception gowns, evening gowns, dinner gowns and gowns for all sorts of special social functions, the Parisienne orders one simple costume. The in dustry, however, is recovering from the stagnation of the summer and fall seasons. The foreign trade is very good and has made up largely for the loss of private trade, Italy and Am erica particularly having bought freely for spring.

LIQUOR SOLD ON
 RECEIPT; MAN ARRESTED

PHOENIX, April 22. - Driving
 straight at the source of the liquor selling evil and making bid to stop the selling of booze in wholesale quantities, Sheriff Adams on a war rant sworn out by County Attorney Frank Lyman, arrested C. R. Smith on a charge of illegally selling whis- key.
 Smith is an employe of a liquor concern which prior to and since the invoking of prohibition has conducted a liquor warehouse in the wholesale district of the city. A warrant has been issued for Smiths employer, who IS at present on the coast looking after other interests. It is the inten- tion of the sheriff to arrest him on his return here.
 The method that Smith and his as sociate employed in the selling of the contraband liquor was very sim pie Smith remained in the ware house here while his employer trav- eled through the mining camps and other towns soliciting orders. The would-be purchaser gave his order to the road man and was instructed to send his check to Los Angeles to a man named Scott, whose full address was furnished On receipt of the check Scott sent the thirsty one a warehouse receipt, which Smith hon ored when presented to him at the in his charge here.
 The evidence of the method used in the purveying of the liquor is being held by the sheriff in Hayden. Thirty cases of perfectly good whiskey were purchased by parties in that place acting under orders from the sheriff's headquarters here.
 Smith was arraigned before Justice of the Peace Frank De Souza and al |. lowed his liberty on 5000 bond.

SILVER SERVICE
 NOT WANTED AT ONCE

PHOENIX, April 22.-That Ali zona should respond literally to tho call for handsome silver service for the new battleship Arizona" but that there Is no rush about it, is the opinion of the chamber of commerce here. In response to numerous let ters directed to that body, Secretary Welch has written the views of his directors to the Chambers of Com merce at Prescott, Nogales and Douglas. In brief, the views of the Phoenix chamber are contained in .this excerpt from the letter:
 Our directors are under the i'm pression that this service need not be presented until the ship goes into commission which Is estimated to be about ten month afte:. launching.
 "The directors believe that DOT ton of the fund should be secured from the legislature and that the amount might be included in the next appropriation bill
 "The directors believe it would be good idea to call conference of the delegation appointed by the gov crnor at which time plans for raising the money for the silver service might be discussed in detail. The governor having appointed a chair man of the delegation we believe that it Is proper that he or the governor should call conference. The Cham Der will be glad to cooperate in every way in making the meeting a success and also in helping to raise the fund by whatever method is de- cided upon.
 "It was also believed that the launching affords a spendid oppor- tunity for getting some good publici- ty for Arizona, and we would very much like to see a special car O. two containing party of Arizona citi- zcns visit New York on this very i'm portant occasion. We agree that quick action on this latter plan is necessary. We are very much in favor of including features which will enable the school children to take part in any subscription which may later be raised"

PARDONS ISSUED
 TO LAIRD AND GHERNA

PHOENIX, April g. - Acting or the recommendation of the board ot
 pardons and paroles, Governor Hunt yesterday issued proclamations ot
 complete unconditional pardon for
 Knox Laird and Louis GheTna, and granted reprieves until May 28 to the five men awaiting execution at the state prison.
 D. K. Black, held in the Maricopa county jail for bootlegging, was granted his liberty on parole.
 Laird, who was serving ten-year sentence for manslaughter, was grant cd an unconditional pardon by Gov ernor Hunt February 25, but the SUI perintendent of the prison and the courts refused to permit his release without action by the pardon board. After the decision by the Supreme court sustaining the board, Laird again made application for release, and his case was acted on favorably
 Gherna, a Tucson saloon keepe-, was arrested January l for selling a pint of whiskey in violation of the prohibition amendment, and given a jail sentence and fine in the Superior court of Pima county. The Supreme court sustained the judgment of the lower court, but as the sale was in the nature of a test case, the pardon board voted to recommend Gherna for clemency.
 Black was arrested in this city on the. first bootlegging raid by county and city officers.
 The five men reprieved yesterday were of the number who were sen tcnced to hang last December. The governor reprieved them until March l9. A few days before that date the board recommended that the men be granted a thiTty-day reprieve, but the governor held that that was not sui icient time to enable the Supreme court to pass on the Laird case, and reprieved the men until May 2S. The thirty day period recommended by the board expired April IS, and the lay before the board asked the gov ernoT to extend the time to May 28, he date he had already set.

Harry Scullen, resident of this section ten years ago, was a briei visitor yesterday while returning to St. Louis from a business trip to the coast.

MT. Scullen yester- day made the trip from this city to the Lynx creek placer field in a wag- on he desired with the reins in his hands, he stated, to repeat this mode of travelling to renew other days, al though the auto has supplantcd the old way. To-day I will go over the old road in the new manner, to take a farewell peep at the crudely built home where my wife got start to- ward excellent health, and which she has retained to this day. We retain pleasant recollections of our sojourn many years ago.
 Mir. Scullen is wealthy, the presi- dent of steel corporation employing 6,5O0 men, as well is he the president of bank in the above city and with interests in other financial institu- tions. He received a cordial greeting from scores of friends.
