CONVELLY SUIT
 MAY BE HALTED
Attorney General Disavows Intention to Prosecute for Introduction of
 Sacramental Wines

That the suit for an injunction to prevent Attorney General w. F. Jones from proceeding against importers of sacramental wines, instituted in feder- al court by Father Connolly of Tucson. will be withdrawn, is hinted in a com munication from Assistant Attorney General Leslie C. Hardy, received by Mir. Jones yesterday morning. This ac- tiOn is a result of the,attorney generals formal disavowal, filed with the clerk of the t. $. district court at Tucson last week.
 The suit is one of four, filed against the attorney general shortly after the dry amendment went into effect.
 At the time he filed the disavowal. MT Jones gave out a statement, in which he said
 T have never threatened to prosecute any person for bringing wines into the state for sacramental purposes and have always stated that if such a case ever did get into the ooarts, I believed the shipment would be held to be le- gal in accordance with the decision of the U. $. supreme court in the Holy Trinity church case. Now the recent decision of the state supreme court has settled the question, and shipments into the state for such purposes are not a violation of the law"
 Making such a disavowal of record in court eliminates the chance of prosecution under the dry amendment, and satisfies all demands for d con- struction of that amendment in regard l t,. +r,. Jol,, of the sacrament.
 In the affidavit of disavowal, which Attorney General Jones made for all county attorneys, he says:
 Wiley E. Jones, being first duly i sworn according to law, upon his oath deposes and says: that he is the duly elected, qualified and acting attorney general of the state of Arizona: that he is one of the party defendants to the above entitled cause of action that under and by virtue of the laws of the state of Arizona, he has charge and control of prosecutions in the name of ] the state of Arizona; that he has head
 the bill of complaint, in the above en-
 tiled cause of action and that he is fla miliar with each and every allegation l thereon, together With the prayer for | relief; that he disavows on behalf of 1 himself any intention or purpose what ! soever to prosecute complainant, or 1 anyone similarly situated, for the in ! trOduction of wines into the state of i Arizona to be used for saCramental
 purposes, to be used by the Roman
 Catholic church; that he has never 1 threatened, nor does he intend to threaten, the arrest and prosecution i of the complainant, or any other per sons similarly situated for the intro 1 duction of wines into the state of Ari- zona for sacramental purposes; that he does not intend to prosecute any per
 son. regardless of faith, creed or re-
 iigion, for the introduction of wines into
 the state or Arizona for sacramental purposes.

Did You Knox This7

Here is a section known as the Klein
Bogus Check law, passed by the last
legislature, that perhaps few ever read.
1t seems to cover much else besides
bogus checks. If you should go to the
store and buy some goods, telling the
merchant that you would have some
money In 30 days and would pay him,
and then you didn't do It, what would
this law do to you? Section one says:
Every person, who, with intent to
cheat and defraud, shall obtain from
any other person or persons any money,
property or valuable thing, by means
or by use of trick or deception, or
false and fraudulent representation or
statement or pretense, or by any other
means OF instrument or device, or by
means Of any check or by any other
written or printed or engraved instru-
ment or spurious coin or metal, shall
upon conviction thereof be punished IN
the same manner and TO the same ex-
tent as for stealing the money, property
or thing SO obtained"
The penalty under this law viii be
Jail sentence if the amount OF goods or
money secured is less than $40, and a
penitentiary sentence If it exceeds $40.

Waiting for Spring.
dents Look Forward TO Change From
Winter to Spring.
BY HarrY d. Stoek.l


Three classes Of people wait for
spring The poet who sings OF love and
young things, the pessimist who OBJ
serves every opportunity TO throw
stones at these self-same poets; and
the baseball fan The latter two are
beneath consideration. The first
should be permitted TO live and
suffer Spring is a season of the year
that occurs once every tWelth-month,
and even the wailing of the poet, the
cutting observations of the pessimist or
the smile Of the baseball fan cannot
change it's time. If young lovers
choose this time OF year N which TO
WOO and COO, 1t is no reason why It
should cause so much comment Burst
ing buds, arrival OF birds, growing
grass, nor babbling brooks effect their
wooing and cooling. In the language
Of an old time philosopher, tits the
nature Of the beasts and If any one
can tell why the spring time should be
burdened with such, We challenge them
to disclose their identity.

PaseantrY To Be Discussed.
Miss Elsie Macintosh VIII Give Inter
estinf Talk to Teachers.

Miss Elsie Macintosh VIII Give Inter
estins Talk to Teachers.
One of the talks to be given at the
Golden Belt Teachers Association,
which will be of great interest to every
teacher, will be given by Miss Elsie
Macintosh on the subject Of pageantry.
What pageantry is, the history of its
development, the purpose it serves,
methods of dramatization-varyi &C
cording to grades, the work that has
been done at the Fort Hays Kansas
Normal School, and the possibilities for
work in pageantry In rural commu-
mites, will be the phases of the subject
which Miss Macintosh Will discuss.
Miss Macintosh says the course Of
her talk viii depend altogether upon
what the teachers themselves want
brought cut. She says that the prob
lens concerning pageantry which are
vexing the rural teachers are the ones
she wishes TO help them solve and that
her attitude viii be more to simply
answer the questions that teachers are
asking rather than to give any learned
or scientific discussion OF pageantry.
Pageantry, according TO Miss Macin-
toSh, is an old art revived In new forms.
The word pageantry originally meant a
moving wagon or float on which were
presented the old English miracle and
mystery plays. In later times England
celebrated great events by magnificent
professions termed pageants, from
which Webster evidently draws his
definition of the word.
Mr. Louis n. Parker who is some
times called ''the father of modern pa
geantry" because of his notable work
along this line, defines the modern
meaning of the word in this manner:
GA pageant is the representation of
the history of town, In dramatic form,
from the earliest period to some later
point forming fitting climax. This is
set forth in verse and prose of the most
direct sort and it is embellished with
choruses, songs, dances, marches and
every legitimate spectacular adjunct.
1t is acted In some beautiful and historic
spot, which is left without any artificial
establishment whatever. It is acted
by the citizens of the town themselves,
their wives, their children, and their
friends. It is acted In a spirit of SIM
pEcity and reverence and the audience
must bring the same spirit IN watching
its progress. 1t is not stage play. It
is lofty and dignihed panorama of the
towns history. It is an art of local
patriotism.
