PERSONAL USE
 CASE IN COURT
Highest Tribunal of State
 Listens to Arguments in Regard to Allowing Lii quOr to Be Imported for Private Consumption

The question of whether divers
 thirsty residents of Arizona are to
 be permitted to bring into the state
 various kinds of sprituous, vinous or malt liquors, when said liquors are
 intended primarily for the personal use of the man who bring them in is now in the hand of the three jus tices sitting on the bench of the su- preme court of Arizona.
 The case which involved this is- sue, was argued yesterday morning in the court, and on the decision rests the solution of the question as to whether the recently enacted pro- hibition constitutional amendment gives a man the right to import liq uor for personal use"
 The case was the action of State vs. w. J. Sturgeon. coming from the Yuma superior court Sturgeon was arrested several months ago on charge of bringing booze into the state contrary to the provisions of the liquor law. At the time of the ! trial in the lower court, Sturgeon I contended that as the liquor was for | his personal use, he was not amen
 able to the prohibition law.
 The court ruled differently, how 1 ever, and he was convicted and sen 1 tenced to pay q fine and do time'
 in the county jail. The action was
 appealed and the rival attorneys ar I gued the matter yesterday. It will 1 be some time before d decision can
 be expected in the case.
 | Sturgeon was represented by At 1 torney H. Wupperman of Yuma, and l the state was represented by At
 torney General Wiley Jones, Assist
 and Attorney Hardy and Attorney s.
 L. Kingman. The case which in
 volved similar questions and had l been appealed from the superior court by William StaEspury, was not 1 argued, but was submitted on briefs. Much interest was manifested in l the case yesterday by representa- tives of both the wet and dry
 clements of this city, and the court | room was well filled when the ar l guments began. Attorney General Jones contended that inasmuch as | the statutes do not make any pro- visions for bringing the liquor into l the state for any purpose whatso- 1 ever, the personal use" plea should ! avail Sturgeon nothiug, and that he was plainly acting in violation of the l law governing such cases Attorney l Wupperman, in his remarks in be- | half of his client told the court that | in making no reference to the ques- J tion as to whether a man should 1 bring liquor into the state for his 1 own use the framers of the law had l not intended to prohibit such ac tion. They would have made some ! specific reference to such cases had I they intended to totally eliminate the drinking of liquor. They would have made it a crime to drink the stuff, l and would also have made their in- | tentions much plainer to the voters | at the time the measure was up for | the consideration of the latter at the | general election.

 It transpired that what frequently happens had happened in this case; one of the bottles had been broken and the railroad agent. though q total abstainer, had smelled whiskey before and recognized the smell in this in stance He had informed the au- thorties who had taken charge of the shipment. That was the word the emissary brought back to the waiting throng.
 Gather, who had confidence in his own persuasive powers, went after it and was told that the whiskey was already tied up by the law. There was nothing more to keep Gather in Arizona and that night he started nome. bet did not get very far He was 0vertaken by a telegraphic war rant for his arrest and was taken from the train before he reached Maricopa.

Are You Interested Oranges, Olives
 or in Salt River Land Values

Then you'd better investigate . the dangers to be incurred if citrus or olive nursery stock IS brought in from the pest-in- fected districts of California. There's no good reason why the real estate or citrus interests oI the valley should be jeopardized by taking chances on foul stock. Why buy stock that has been shipped from 400 to 700 miles and also take chances of infect ing your groves and your neigh bors, too?
 Every wellnformed citrus and olive grower in the valley real izes the great Gesirabiiity of keeping this valley clean from pests. It is the only cIive grow ing district known that is free from insects and it is worth hundreds of thousands of dollars to the future of the industry to keep it this way. In an officiay publication of the state of Cali fornia in 1918, nine insect pests which are known to attack the olive are listed. In 1915 a rc- vised edition of the same publi- cation contains a list of fourteen pests. Another, still more dan serous, has recently been dis covered. So why take chances on California stock?
 Our interest in this question is not limited by the fact that we have 120,000 home grown, abso- lutely clean, accImated olives for sale. These are pedigreed trees, and are offered in all sizes from 12Iac to 35c each. (5c ex, tra if balIed.)
 will do my share to keep Ari- zona clean, and will meet all California prices, either on balled or open rooted stock. Whether you are going to buy this spring or not, I'd like to have you visr, my nursery, see our olive, orange and grapefruit tbest cIayson buds) stock.
 Protect your groves, protect real estate values by heI ping to keep Arizona clean.

ADvERTIsNGs WORK IN THB
WORLD

When you pick up your COPY OF The
Chronicle you meet with more than
stories Of travel, progress, war, catas-
trophies; stories political, social ~
ligious, community and events from
nearby towns and cities. You also 10,
ceive stories told you In paid adver'
Using. And II 1t were not for this ad'
vertising you would not-could not
receive the publication you do for the
little 1t costs you.
Some persons think that machinery
alone has reduced the price OF pub
lications like The Chronicle. But that
Is not q fact. II in osme manner all
advertising would be stopped, and the
paper would have to be produced min
US their financial aid, the price would
lump to three or four times what 1t
is at present.
Besides, the paper would not be as
interesting. People have come to re-
gard the advertisements in The Chron-
icle, as in other newspapers, as re-
liable Icompendiums Of merchandise,
and they have come to learn that what
is worth advertising is worth buying.
1t is important that you realize the
work that advertising plays In the
world. Without 1t hundreds Of articles
found in every home could never have
been brought to your attention; you
never would have known Of them; you
never would have purchased them and
enjoyed their use. And the factories
that are making these articls, employ.
ing hundreds Of thousands Of hands,
in the aggregate, would not exist for
they depend ON advertising as the
cheapest and most effective way to
distribute their goods.
The advertisements in The Chronicle
are an integral part Of the paper; they
are not something to go with reading
matter, but are something to read for
profit You cannot permit such bar
gains as are constantly advertised
in The Chronicle to slip by, because
If you do you are not getting full value
out of tho paper.

Congressman Slsson Of Mississippi,
discussing All item in the bill, took
occasion to say the following: Il
want to congratulate the chairman Of
the Committee on Agriculture for his
zeal: his earnestnesS and the ability
in the management Of this great bill.
The country is extremely fortunate in
having the services Of such a man to
guard the interest Of agriculture. If
the Department Of Agriculture can be
successful in carrying into effect the
provisions Of this bill and can secure
the results that should flow from the
expenditure of the money carried In

POWERFUL INFLUENCES
BUSY TO AVERT BREAK
Gerard's Dispatches Indicate Germany
Will Go to Great Lengths to Pre-
serve Friendly Relations With
United States.

Washington, April 24.-Indications
that powerful influences In German
politics are opposed to any action by
the Berlin Governmnt which might
leod to the severance Of diplomatic re-
lations with the United States are un-
derstood to be contained In confiden-
tial dispatches received to-day by the
State department from Ambassador
Gerard. Socialists and labor leaders
are represented as being particularly
adverse to any such move. Other dis
patches from Mr.. Gerard were said to
contain strong intimations that the
Berlin Government would make some
concessions to the United States in re
ply to the note demanding the imme-
diate abandonment of present methods
of submarine warfare. 1t still is un-
certain, however, whether the conces-
sions will be sufficiently broad In their
scope to meet the American demands.
Officials allowed it to become known
that Mr. Gerard's dispatches indicated
that Germany would 60 to great lengths
to preserve friendly relatives with the
United States. Mr.. Gerard Is under
stood to have gained his views during
conversations with Berlin officials, in
Guiding Foreign Minister Won Jagow.
His dispatches are said to emphasize
the difficulties by which the German
Government is confronted In endeavOr-
ing to find a way to meet the demands
Of the United States without arousing
the elements which insists upon a re-
the shipping Of the Entente allies.
The State department tonight was
awaiting a dispatch from Mr.. Gerard
reporting the results Of lengthy con-
ference today with DR.. Won Bethmann-
Hollweg, Imperial German chancellor,
reported in press dispatches. Off,
cials expressed a particular interest In
that part Of the press reports which
indicated that the reply to the Ameri-
can note would not be made until after
the chancellor has another opportunity
to confer with the Emperor, who is at
the front. The fact that the confer
lasted more than an hour was regard
ed as being a hopeful sign; it being
pointed out that If the German Govern
ment was disposed not to meet the
American demands 1t was improbable
there would have been discussion
of such length. A report from Mr..
Gerard is expected tomorrow.
All of Mr.. Gerard's dispatches re-
ceived since the present situation arose
are held by Administration officials to
be Of a highly confidential nature.
Consequently only a general knowledge
of their contents Is obtainable.
