PERsONAL. USE: ]. X. WILL BE
 ANNOUNCEMENT
From High Authority It Is Learned Railroads Will Announce Willingness to Accept "P.-U." Liquor Shipments

Liquor shipments will be accepted by railroads running into Arizona. under the personal use decision of the state supreme court This will be the substance of an announcement by the railroads within three days. it was learned yesterday on substantial authority
 That he could take no stand on a matter which, he said was news to him. was the statement of Attorney General Wiley Jones, when apprised of the situation by a Republican re- porter yesterday.
 There will either be no attempt to combat the move of the railroads. or else the roads will win any such combat, was the firm opinion of The Republicans informant.
 Believing that no test case would settle the matter of personal use and that each attempt to import liauor unGer the supreme courts interpre- tation of the law would necessitatc a separate trial the common carriers have shied wide of accepting ship ments A good deal of attention has been paid Co the matter by railroad attorneys and by a traffic associa- ! tion, representing all the carriers. When the personal use decision was
 announced and a f0rore> of expecta ton, not to say glee, swept the state.
 the railroads hurried around with q lot of wet blankets and cooled tons and tons of ardor by being inter-
 viewed on the subject Of not ae-

cepting shipments Since then, the matter has sinimered, the phrase personal use has become firmly fixed in the yFfzona vocabulary as synonym for booze, and the attitude of expectancy has been gradually but surely relaxed Now, probably by this screed, it win be more or less tautened, untl either the next cold douehe is applied or else, the matter is settled to the certain joy of the lover of this tipple.
 Statements that the railroads had decided to announce a willingness to carry liquor for personal use were definite enough But as to details well, there simply were none. Ques- toned as to the facts concerning shipping and bringing, in the eyes of the law. the attorney general was non- -committaI though he believed the supreme court had held that il it is legal to bring in a mite o1 liquor it is also legal to have i sent in.
 A week ago the state was floode, with circular letters from an easterr brewery promising nay, guaranteeinf ito ship barreled beer into the stat, at a figure that made bootleg price! lcok like the list of munitions stocks With the hopes this announcemen campaign also raised a perfect feve cf thirst.

"Like Cobb Trying to Hit Johnson's
Pitching With a Sulphur Match"

WASHINGTON. May 90 - The House
today threw up its hands in despair when
Representative Gardner in fine frenzy de-

Uncle Sam can get something for nothing"

be mustered into service unless soldiers

going to enlist for the pleasure OF fighting
cactus bushes and taking orders from boy
officers unless they get at least the pay of

Alleged Willingness to Pay

S T A ND BY CONNOLLY

A public hearing to thresh out the uues-
tion of compromising the city's suit against
John n. Virgins & Co. contractors; Henry
Clay, former Director of Public Safety and
other defendants in the socalled Contract
scandal" was advocated today by Select
Councilman J. o. Conroy of the 25th Ward,
chairman of Councils Law Committee.
The public should be acquainted with
all the facts" said MIR. Conroy. Former
City Solicitor Ryan says that the defend.
ants agreed to settle for Sl25.000. City
Soil 'itor Connolly recommends that the city
settle for $4,000. There is a divergence of
opinion here that ought to be cleared UP.
II am in favor of having Public Service
Commissioners Ryan present at the public
hearing and have him tell us Just what con-
versatlon took place between him and the
attorneys representing former Director of
Public Safety Clay and the other defend
ants,

clined to reply to charges by former city
Solicitor Ryan that he had suppressed

II have absolutely no reply to make"
said Mr.. Connolly, who on Thursday recon-
mended that Councils settle the suit for
f0,oO0. MY attitude is the same today
as 1t was yesterday I believe it is bet
ter to settle for a certain sum now than
to undergo months and possibly years of
litigation.
However, am not the sole Judge Mem

court. rave made my recommendation to
Councils, but II Councils suggest that the
suit be tried l am ready to prepare for a

Mr., Ryan declined to add anything TO
his charges made yesterday. in which he
said Mr.. Connolly omitted from the men,

which he advised Mr.. Connolly not to settle
the suit for less than s125,O00. The para
