 SAYS SUPREME COURT
State Tribunal in Passing on Morris Case Says Man Can be Held in
 Jail if Fine $ Not Paid.

Civil authorities have the right to hold q man in jail in case the man is unable or refuses to pay fine which has been assessed against him, and a prisoner held in confinement under these circumstances cannot Validly make the assertion that he is being imprisoned for debt.
 That was the gist of the decision which was handed down by the su- preme court of the state yesterday afternoon in passing on the case of George B. Morris, who had sought his liberty from the Maricopa county jail via the habeas corpus route.
 Morris some time ago was returned to this state from Colorado, and on |. charge of having removed mortgaged property from the state was fined $500 and sentenced to serve thirty days in the county jail. At the expiration of the thirty day period Morris, through his attorney, sought freedom on the grounds that a man could not be con fined in jail in lieu of the payment of fine. The attorney contended that mprisoning q man for non payment of the fine was in substance imprison- ing him for debt, and hence the con- fincment was Illegal At the present

 The Indians have not been beaten this season, but they have not met the High school or the Normal yet.

So, the Braves have had no chance to match up with the best talent of the valley high school league

Motorcycle Demon Demol- lshes Distance in Truly Flippant Manner Prac- tlce for Moose Race at the Fair Grounds

IL ought to he safe to call a guy that will ride madly by the spot he nearly got killed at last fair week q reckless person. Well, Don Johns is just that kind of a thing. He rode within a fine blonde hairs breadth of spill not cnce, but half dozen times, when he clrcled the fair track in practice yes terday, at many miles per hour. His amiahle rivals and his boisterous friends clocked him successiVely in 50 seconds, 49 and 4S And there he. stuck. Several rounds he gave old Daddy Time rub with 4S-second record.
 To the ordinary reader this doesn't mean much. But to him who knows that AS seconds is the best time Barney Oldfield ever made in his Christie car, Johns performance listens like the real thing
 Lorenzo Boido was out for trials yesterday, and while he didn't cut the dash that Don did, he circed the oval in 49 seconds. He rode closer to the rail, while Johns slid wide on each turn, being unable to use all the speed stored up ill his new Indian racer. Truth About Crandal.
 Harry Crandall was approached yes terday with the following question::
 'Is it true you are not gonna enter the Moose races Sunday"
 Tt is not true" sezee. He kicked the tire of his Harley Davidson speed . ster and continued: T will be there with this, and l got just as good a chance as anybody"
 Some5Ody circulated the rumor that CranGall would not venture out against the factory machiers of Boido, Morty Graves and Johns. But while Cran- dalls boat is older. it is just as much factory machine as the others. and, as he says, he has a chance. He will ride for the Arizona championship.
 The track is as smooth as glass, and very even. It is probable that in the heat of tomorroW's contention. some records that are at present regarded as standard will be fused and melted uOwn q second or so.
