POLICE CAPTUR
 ARMED BURGLAR

In John w. Palmer arrested late yesterday afternoon on burglary charge, local police authorities believe that they have captured q professional thief with a long record. At least, he has been exceedingly active during his two or three week visitation to Phoe- nix
 That Palmer is a professional. rath- CT than an amateur thief is indicative by the manner in which he is said to operate. When caught in the act of ransacking a second hand store on South Central avenue yesterday after noon. he was armed like one Of Villa s bandits. He had two large revolvers. but did not have occasion to use them as he was taken by surprise and dis armed before he realized what was happening.
 officers have already succeeded in positively identifying him with the Birknell. Sontag, Johnson and Oscar Roberts robberies. It is also believed that he has figured in many other thefts in Phoenix within the past two or three weeks,
 Practically all of the articles stolen in the above named thefts were founc among his belongings at a local room ing house. The shoes that he was wearing at the time of his arrest were claimed by Oscar Roberts.
 Patrolman McGrath made the arrest.

CHARTER SAYS
 JUDGE CANNOT
 ENJOY ILLNESS

A city magistrate cannot be sick. 1 This was the decision reached by the Phoenix city commission at the regular weekly meeting yesterday morning
 Judge Thomas was taken i'll Sun day morning and as a result, was un- able to attend his official duties at the city hall Monday or Tuesday. Several prisoners were being detained in the city jail awaiting trial in police court during this period.
 Someone introduced the matter of substituting for the regular police judge fin such instances. The city char ter was consulted but it was found that the charter does not provide for q substitute in the absence of the reg ularly appointed judge. Then someone suggested that it might be possible for q justice of the peace to serve. but investigation of the charter failed to reveal such pro- vision.
 Tt is a grave question" said City Attorney Sloan. Tt Is doubtful if an cth"r city magistrate can be appointed. The point Is not covered by the city charter.
 'Tnc only way out of the difficulty is [, amend the charter. Don't at tempt it now. but wait until the next election, unless. of course. the city magistrate gets seriously ill.," advised the city attorney.
 December l3 was fixed as the date for hearing of assessments on Wash ington avenue. The commission also approved and accepted the bonds of James A. Jones and W. F. O'Neil. both plumbers
 The auditors report for the month Of october was read and unanimously accepted.

finished, was told that Mr.. Gladstone
did not know that l was leaving so
early, and that he wanted to have an
other talk with me. l went to his bed

BILE he'd in 1t.
Gladstone was dressed in a night
gown, with a brown Shetland shawl
round him. He was lying fiat on his
face, his head at the foot of the bed
and his feet on the pillows. In one
hand he held cup Of coffee and there
was book in the other. l shall never

Two friends once dined with the
dean, and there was cold duck on the
table. The dean carved; but he was
so engrossed with the conversation
that he first let the duck slip upon the
table and then upon the floor. One OF
the guests, knowing that the duck was
the only thing they had for luncheon
shouted, II see cat in the room!"
| "Ah," said the dean, you need moi
be afraid of the duck! l have my foot
on it,
