TUCSON TIPPLERs.
Being Watched so They Don't Filch
 Alcohol Out of Exhibit Jars.

TUCSON, MARCH 5.-John F. Myers, secretary of the Tucson Chamber of Commerce is taking pains to guard the preserved fruits and vegetables on display at the Cham ber's quarters from theft, owing to the premium placed on the acohol in which they are preserved. The Doug las Chamber recently suffered loss of prize grapes and cucumbers by reason of the substitution of water for the alcohol by some person who has been thirsty since prohibition be- came effective on January 1, last.
 Myers has issued statement to the effect that some of the products arc preserved in formaldehyde, and this he believes. will be sufficient pro lection to the display.
 The loss of the display at this time would be especially serious since they are to be shown at the Southern Ari- zona Fair to be held in this city on March IS, 10 and 20.

THREE DECISIONS OF
 LOCAL JURIST SUSTAINED
(From Sundays Daily)

VI OAli Sulluoy . l(dlIJJ
 News comes from Phoenix that the Supreme court in recent decisions has affirmed the judgments of Judge Frank O. Smith in three instances.
 The most important case was that wherein former Sheriff Keeler sued 70 recover half of the money paid by he government to the county for the board of Federal prisoners in the local jail.
 When Arizona was territory there was statute authorizing the reten- ton of such sum by sheriffs, and it was the contention of Keeler that the advent of statehood did not change the custom. Over $3,0OO was involved in the controversy. Judge Smith gave judgment for the county, but as a case was being appealed by Sheriff Jeff Adams of Maricopa county, in volving the same state of facts, it was decided 10 await its decision. A few days ago an opinion was handed down adverse to the contention of Adams. and agreeing with the de cision of Judge Smith in the Keeler case.
 The other two actions appealed from the decision of Judge Smith went up from the SuperioK court of Maricopa county, where he presided at the trials, and were known as the Y. NJ. (. A. cases. They involved the validity of subscriptions made to the Phoenix Y. NJ. C. A. building fund, and Judge Smith decided that such subscriptions were binding and must be paid. The Supreme court held the same.

PERTINENT QUERY IS
 ASKED BY VISITOR
(From SaturdaY's Dailyl

TUCSON, March B." Where is Arizona? is a question that l have been seriously tempted to ask sev- eral times during my brief stay in this state," says visitor to Tucson.
 "In travelling about Arizona, read ing the newspapers from the various parts of the state, and more recently in connection with the present ses- sion of the legislature, 1 have gained the impression that Arizona was To- cated in some one of the following places: Phoenix, Tucson, Douglas, Nogales, Yuma, Prescott or Flag staff. Apparently each locality is so bound up in its own importance and petty interests that the idea of get ting together for a better, more pros porous Arizona has never occurred to them. They have not seemed to realize that each section has its own peculiar advantages which, when prop crly developed will help all the other sections. To an outsider this situation Is especially emphasized by the atti- tudc of the members of the present legislature. Each member seems to be interested only in getting some thing for his constituents instead of striving for legislation which will de- ve1op to the utmost all of Arizona's wonderful resources-thus the Salt River Valley desires law that will virtually create two State universities when the state has scarcely sufficient students and funds to support one irst-class educational institution; and so-called labor adherents demand a universal eight-hour law which will throttle the agricultural industry of the State. Ii is to be hoped that an awakening will soon come to pre- vent Arizona's legislators from mak ing the irretrievable mistakes Of false economy and sacrificing the de telopment of Arizona"

BACK FROM PEN" TO
 FIGHT BIG DAMAGE SUIT
(From Sundays DailY.)

A4 AOAAl NdANoJ OollJ 7
 l One of the most interesting case!
 ever tried before any tribunal, vii mark the trial term which commence. Tuesday in the Superior court before Judge F. O. Smith. The first casC will be that of the State of Arizona against D. J. Darlington of Jerome on two charges, one of which is at tempted rape on 14-year-old girl and the other a crime, the details of which cannot be published. Several criminal and civil cases are to follow but the one which will feature the session and revive killing committed many years ago is that of Mary A. Conrey as administratrix of the estate of Fred Conrey, deceased, against E. D. Hurley The title of the suit is prosaic in the extreme but back of it is story, the unfolding of which will prove both thrilling and dramatic.
 Hurley Is now an inmate of the state penitentiary at Florence, serving life sentence for the killing of Fred Conrey a number of years ago. The tragedy occurred, following a quarrel over some mining property, 12 or IA miles below Jerome on the valley side of the Verde range of mountains. Conrcy had located part of the ground upon which Hurley was min ing to use for the pasturing of his sheep, and this action caused bad blood between the men, eliminating finally in tragedy.
 Some time after Hurley was tried and convicted and was serving his life sentence his mining claims be- came valuable and were sold for a large sum, said to approximate $50,- GOO. Naturally the money could not be used by the prisoner and it has since been accommodating, his fortune now being estimated at close to $75,OOO.
 But after Hurley came into posses sion of the money Mrs. Conrey filed suit for damages in the sum of $25,0G0 for the staying of her husband and it IS this civil action in behalf of her self and six children which will fea- turc this term of court. Mrs. Conrey will be represented by Attorney R. E. Morrison, while Conrey, who will be brought here under guard from the state prison, will be represented by the attorney generals office, in the person of Leslie Hardy, it is under stood.

Cupid Gets Busy.
MOVE
 IN BUILDING BIG DAM
(From Sundays DaIIy)

Telegrams from John Barbazette, at Terra Haute, Indiana, president of the Hassayampa Alfalfa Farms Co.,, were received last night by H. c. Wells, which are very important as lffccting the big dam on Granite :reek, nearing completion. The icight of this structure is changed from 82 feet to nearly 90 feet, due to he immense body of water desired to be conserved, and which with the increased service will aggregate sev- ,ral thousand additional acre feet over that originally contemplated Anoth- ,r potent fact is to be taken into con sidcration in sending the dam up to the new height, as % feet will be the maximum without endangering the track of the s. F., P. & P. railway.
 Mr. Wells stated that the dam last night had reached height of 70 feet, and good headway was being made in construction. The additional feet or dercd will require about one week longer. and it is believed actual stor- age will begin before the first of April. Enough water is assured from snow in the mountains of the Granite creek water shed to develop the unit of land ready, without taking into consideration any storms that may occur ill the next three months.

 satisfaction was vouchsafed, and fin

 ing order. An amendment, offered by Vaughn, was finally passed pro viding that the bill be effective only until the end of the year 1916. Many other amendments were offered but killed, among them being one requir- ing all mines to be producers to the extent of $10,00O before coming under the provisions of the act.
 Chip on Every Shoulder.
 There was chip on every -houlder today except Mrs. Munds,' and she had no time to be persnickity. Was it not her silver wedding anniver- sary? It was, and to prove that she can make as good confection as she can laws, real honest to goodness wedding cake was distributed to the members of the senate, the attaches and the newspaper persons who were lucky enough to be among those pres ent. That cake and the happy felici- tations it elicited were worth all the trials and tribulations of the entire session.
 Before the benign influence of the wedding breakfast was fully exer- ciscd, however, there was a mixup which would have been a main line attraction had it not been for the big tent show in the lower house.
 The compromise prohibition bill was before the senate for second reading. Senator Karns offered an amendment permitting the importa- ton of one gallon of liquor per month for personal or family use.
 Senator Drachman attacked the amendment, which he declared was an attempt to jugglc the law and practically open the state and make each home a saloon.
 karns contended that his amend ment would do away with bootleg ging, and Stapley replied that instead it would create home made drunks.
 Drachman contended that the peo- pie had ruled that whiskey must go, and that the amendment was a move | on the part of the whiskey ring to put one over.' He said that Karns had made a trip to Nogales and been talked to-"
 Karns declared that he was not controlled by any ring and defcd Drachman to produce his proof. 1 Stapley said the amendment was giv- en to Karns by someone who did not have the courage to come into the open. Karns insisted that he was acting entirely upon his own initi- ltive.
 The Karns amendment was lost by ] vote of II to 5, and the senate spent the balance of the time in rout- nc matters.
 The governor. today announced the signing of substitute senate bill No. .22, which involves transfer Of funds rom the general fund to the state -oad tax fund in .Yavapai county. The amount involved is $7,500, which will DC repaid by the county.

PARDON BOARD
 SUSPENDS ACTION


 PHOENIX, March 6. - Althougl
 more than half hundred application
 for pardon have been filed with tn,
 new parole board, no final action vii
 be taken on any of them until somt
 decision has been rendered by tho
 Supreme court as to the status of tho
 law ratified at the last election. Thi:
 announcement was made yesterday
 by members of the board, who ex.
 pressed themselves as well satisfied
 at the prospect of Supreme court
 decision before March 19, the date set for the execution of the five con
 demned men at Florance.
 Chairman Frank P. Trott and Pro lessor C. O. Case, members of the
 board, who returned yesterday after
 a two-day session at Florence, an nounced that the entire board will meet March Is to resume considera- ton of the cases of the five men sen fenced to hang this month, and may take some action at that time, de- pending on what decision has been reached in the courts. Attorney Gen eral Wiley E. Jones did not attend the board meeting, having been de tained here on legal business.
 The action of Knox Laird. granted an unconditional pardon by the gov ernor, in applying for his dismissal on writ of habeas corpus, was a move welcomed by members of the new board on the ground that the existing situation in regard to the law would be cleared up and the responsibility for action in these important cases definitely fixed Although the gov ernor has never officially recognized the board and did not consult with any of its members before granting Laird his pardon, it was stated yes terday that only friendly feeling ex- ists between the new organization and the executive. The governors action, it was pointed out, was inevitable in view of the provision of the constitu- ton which gives him pardoning pow CT. Either he would have had to rec ognize the law and the new board or to continue to exercise the functions delegated to him by the constitution, and he chose the latter course.
 Laird, who was sentenced for man slaughter, was serving term of not less than ten years, having been con victed on circumstantial evidence. He was member of band of six white men arraigned for the murder of a Mexican in Miami, and it was gen orally believed that he was innocent, or that the others were equally guilty l with him. A petition signed by 125 citizens of Miami was filed with the governor urging Laird's pardon. The fact that he has an invalid mother and brother and that he is practically the only one to support the family were also mitigating circumstances in this case and the governor granted the pardon February 25.
 In letter to Governor Hunt, War len Sims of the prison acknowledged receipt of the pardon, but said that IS the constitution and the law ere lting the new pardon board appeared 70 be in conflict, and as he was in 1oubt as to whether he had a legal fight to dismiss Laird, he regretted o inform the governor that he would lwait further authority for the dis nissal of the prisoner. The governor understanding the situation, holds Warden Sims entirely free from blame n refusing to let Laird go.
