mainder of the building was lathed with wood It is very evident how ever, that the spirit of the ordinance now in effect requires that all altera- tions in old buildings should comply as nearly as practical to the require ments for new work.
 Therefore, in all alterations in old buildings located within the fire linn it's, where the building inspector is granted discretionary power by the or dinance special permits for the use of wood lath will in the future be issued only for patching old work; also, when the old plaster, only, is removed, and the wood Iath left in place and replas- tered.
 In new buildings all construction must, of course conform strictly to the requirements of the ordinance, as the building inspector has no power to modify the provisions of the ordinance in such cases.

HOW CITY PERMITS
 USE IF WOOD LATH
In RemodeIing, Wood Lath Can Be Used by Special Permit; New
 Work Must be of Metal Lath

There seems to be some confusion regarding the use of wood lath and me tai lath within the fire limits of the city.
 The new building ordinance prohib- it's the use of wood lath on all new work located in the fire limits.
 On alterations and the remodeling of existing buildings, however, the or dinance grants the building inspector the power to dispense with the strict enforcement of the provisions of the ordinance upon application therefore in writing. But no deviation can be allowed unless a special permit be is sued therefore, and a public record 1 kept on file in the office of the build l ing inspector.
 Under the former building ordinance permits were occasionally granted for 1 the use of wood lath for alteration work in old buildings, when the re-

GARDINER |S
 TURNED LOOSE
Testimony of Accomplice Fails to Convince Justice of Peace That Alleged Election Fraudist Should Be Bound Over for Trial

On the ground that a principal can not be convicted on the uncorrobor- ated testimony of an accomplice, the case of Fred Gardiner charged with procuring the false registration of Sa vannah Robinson was dismissed from Judge De SOuza's court yesterday.
 The Robinson girl and Adeline Starr, another colored girl were the only wit nesses and the latter proved of little value to the state since her testimony was confined to what had been told her by Savannah.
 As she told of her meeting with Gardiner at the Clover club, Savannah did not halt in her testimony but when her age was the issue, she was not as ready to respond to the curt questions of the attorneys.
 On the witness stand Adeline casu- ally remarked we all tell stories when we get a chance" and her statements were taken for their worth. She said that she was twenty three and that 1 Gardiner had asked her to register i just as he had Savannah but as fol herself-she didn't care who came il or who went out"
 Judge w. l.. Barnum then moved tC dismiss on the ground that Savannah was an accomplice and that Gardinel could not be convicted on her uncor roborated testimony.
 Assistant City Attorney J. L. Nel son on whose complaint Gardiner wa arrested, was associated with Assist ant County Attorney Leon s. Jacobs i the case, argued against the motion t
 dismiss declaring that corroboratio was not necessary.
 Judge De SouZa after taking tn matter under advisement dismissed.

 Brown heath and shaggy wood, Land of the mountain and the

 More than a hundred members of the society and thei,- guests had as- sembled to take part in the festivities and to enjoy a brief but delightful program which carried them back to old Scotland.
 The opening number was a song by Mrs. Penney, We are all Scottish here" The address of the evening was delivered by Justice H. D. Ross of the supreme court. "The Lady Farmer" was the title of select reading by Mrs Duncan. The Highland Fling was de- lineated by Miss Macdonald. The Aud Sark Sleeve" was the title of se- lect reading by Mrs. Jamison.

Sergeant Raley returned from Douglas on special or ders from the adjutant general and on q mission the real nature of which is not to be learned
 Instead of writing and encourag- ing the boys, Phoenix parents and best girls are continually wishing the soldiers would come home. They are an actual menace to the peace of mind of the guard, and the fact there has been practically no trouble with the organization is a tribute to the strength of mind and devotion of it's members.

WHITE SLAVERY CHARGE PROVEN
 LIN j. |. TRAUT
Young Man Who Resided In Phoenix for Some Months With Woman Not His Wife, Is Convicted On Serious Charge

J. C. Traut, well known in Phoenix where he has resided for some months with his wife was yesterday convicted on a charge of white slavery in the United States District Court at Tue son.
 The trial throughout has been sen sational. Traut was accused of inn porting a woman named Fuss Hall from New Mexico, into Arizona for immoral purposes. He. claimed that he never advanced a cent for her travelling eX- penses, but that she followed him i wherever he went.
 During Trauts sojourn in Phoenix, it was disclosed at the trial at Tucson, he was living with the Hall woman at local rooming house.
 1, He took the stand Tuesday, and told
 the story of his connections with the
 woman from the start, when he first met her in Trinidad, Colo, in Novem-
 Der. 1915. He included incidents of his
 trip until he was arrested in Phoenix
 the following spring. His tale was one
 of exploit after exploit in the restrict
 ed districts of Arizona, California, Col
 orado and New Mexico.
 Mrs. Dell Winters, the proprietor of
 a resort in Gallup, N. NJ, took the
 stand, and revealed some rather choice testimony During the course of hel narrative, she stated that Mrs. J. C Traut. who was in the court room a the time, had been an inmate of g house of prostitution in Albuquerque To this Mrs. Traut took exception ant dramatically demanded that the Win ters woman be arrested. Judge Saw telle managed to quiet her indignation Chief of Police Brisbois and Police 3 man Jerry Sullivan of Phoenix wer l witnesses in the trial, both testifyin ] to having aided in the arrest of Frau c in Phoenix some months ago, when h | was beating up the Hall woman in tn = rooming house where they were Twin | as man and wife.
 S Several witnesse, were brough O down from Winslow, to refute the tes IT timony of the Traut's that they ha T never been in that place. g The jury was out about three hour e In similar cases during the past fe' e days, Judge Sawtelle has administere
 rather severe sentences to several Mel
 jeans who have been convicted of sin
 liar crimes during the past week ar II it was the general opinion last nigl e of those who returned from Tucso that it would go rather hard with u convicted man.

WOODS |S BUSY BUT CITY DADS
 SIMPLY LISTEN

Overlooking the arrangement entered into by various members of the city commission that the city fathers await the return to the city of Mayor Corpstein before taking action looking to the amendment of Ordinance 99 and the outlining of a general policy with relation to the suppression and control of vice in this city, Commis sioner Frank Woods yesterday morn ing at a recess session of the city commission entered into q denuncia- tion of the police department for what he termed it's laxity in enforcing the law. He wanted the city cleaned up' at once and insisted that the commission should hold the chief of police to strict accountability.
 The remarks of Commissioner Woods provoked no discussion on the part of the commissioners and q res olution was finally adopted at the suggestion of Commissioner Richey directing enforcement of the law as 1 it now stands. This will not result in curtailing the efforts of the com mission to arrive at a definite pro- gram as soon as it is possible to have all members present.
 An effort was made to have Robert
 Hunt restored to the police force a:

 moved from the force for cause, whicl consisted in engaging another office

 The Better Site
 Reinforced by the ample and whole | some grub the party inspected the sec ond bridge site one admirably adapted | by nature for the purpose, with solid | | ledge rock on both sides. That there 1 might be no question as to the distance , between the bed rock abutments, John | Montgomery and Dan Noonan in airy costumes and with sylph like grace,
 waded and measured a distance of 722 feet from rock to rock, across the stream. They went 40 feet further
 for good measure, making the actual
 length of the bridge required to fit this
 site less than goo feet.
 On the north side no approach will
 be necessary while on the south about nine hundred feet of approach will be
 required, practically on rock bottom. Government Data
 The government has had extensive
 soundings made at this point under w | $. Jones who had charge of similar
 work at the Roosevelt dam and the Panama Canal. Two complete sets of
 soundings have been made showing q
 depth to bed rock of from 21 feet to
 56 feet 10 inches.
 From the north end of the proposed
 bridge, at this point only about fif-
 teen miles of road through cOmpara-
 lively easy roadmaking country would
 be necessary to connect the bridge
 with the Yuma Phoenix state and
 transcontinental highway. This would
 make the distance to Ajo by this route
 only about 115 miles, practically the , same distance as to Globe.
 Survey to be Made l ! It was the unanimous opinion of the 2 visiting party including the engineers f that the second site inspected, was the . most practical and desirable, and the g board of supervisors indicated that it e would have a thorough engineering in-

JUDGE HAYS SAYS
REPUBLICANS GAIN
Are Moving into Mississippi
~ County From North, He
Learns.

Judge Edward D. Hays early this
morning returned to the Cape from Il
campaign trip through Mississippi
County and declared that he is con-
WINGED that the normal Democratic ma
jOrity that has been returned there
will be cut down this fall by the influx
of Indiana and Northern farmers who
have migrated there from Republican
States.
As a result of the change in the po-
iltical complexion of Mississippi Coun-
ty, Judge Hays declared that he is
convinced that he will be elected.
"Thc Republican gain in that county
is due to two causes" he said "The
first is the direct conversions from the
ranks of the Democrats to the Repub-
lican party, and the second is found
in the immigration into that farm land
of men from Republican communities
the North"
The Democratic majority in former
years in that county has been 400 to
500. This year Judge Hays says he
believes the race will be close and he
declared that he was given to under
stand that the Republicans believe they
will elect four or five county officers.
Fosr years ago Judge Hays got a
majority of the votes cast in the three
counties that now form the twenty
eighth judicial circuit, namely, Cape,
Scott and Mississippi. The heavy
Democratic maiorities returned for his
opponent, Judge Kelly, in the other
Democratic counties were two such
counties: New Madrid and Pemiscot
