MAJOR FRANK EMMAL
 VISITING OLD HOME
(From Saturdav's Daily.)

The arrival yesterday of Major F. $. Emmal, L. s. A., from Nogalcs, proved an agreeable surprise to many old-time friends in Prescott who ex- tended him cordial greeting.
 The visitor had been with the mcdi- cal corps of the army for several months, and his high rating in pro- fessional circles of the coast gave him this distinction of being at the head of the service
 Major Emmal will be favorably re- membercd as a resident of Prescott for many years, leaving for San Fran cisco over 0 years ago, where for some time he was physician to the German hospital. as well has his prac- ticc enlarged until today he is regard ed with prominence in his profession He retains his title of major of the medical corps of the Coast artillery. His visit will be brief ''I am glad to be on the old stomping grounds again, and while memory of carly days is cherished for its pleasant as sociations, the town has passed into a new era, and l cannot recall single habitation, and the familiar Hassay- ampcr figures also arc thinncd by timc,' he informed many friends.

PETER SLAYER IS
 ADMITTED AS CITIZEN
(From Saturdays Dailv.)


 Peter Shafcr, old, worn in spots and marked indelibly with his affec- ton for the Stars and Stripes, Is today a citizen of the. United States.
 Shafcr was one of the list of candi- dates for citizenship last month. He was unable to secure his final papers because one of his witnesses had fail ed to appear.
 In considering the case yesterday, and deciding to admit Shafcr, Judge Smith said that it was far from his thoughts to prevent any man who has suffered so for his patriotism as has Shafcr, from becoming a true and recognized nephew of Uncle Sam. Shafcr contributed to the celebration of the independence of the union last July 4th by setting off certain quan- titles of dynamite near his shack. One result of the explosion was the loss of one eye and partial deafness, duo to an accident Shafer has made three attempts to become q citizen. When the Glorious Fourth swung around last year, he concluded to give ocular and auditory demonstration of his fi- dclity to the country of his adoption. His enthusiasm resulted as described, and the judge said that even ii his formulas had not been perfect, he would have been inclined to grant his petition, considering his sacrifice.

 BILL PASSES THE HOUSE

PHOENIX, March 2-Thc house carly this afternoon passed house bill No. }, Mckay, Cochise; known as the minimum wage bill and carrying an amendment providing for minimum wage for women of Sl0 week. Sev- cral members objected to the bill on the ground that 1t was not the meas urc needed in this State.
 House bill No. 57, relating to con ducting games of chance, was passed by a vote of % to 7.
 Senate bill No. 5, creating a game refuge to be known as the Huachuca State game preserve was passed, as was also house bill No. l49, creating a preserve in Greenlee county, and house bill No. l59, creating the Pinal Mountain game preserve in Gila and Pinal counties.
 After weeks of conferences and consultations between representatives of the labor organizations and of the great employing companies of the State bill has been prepared and was introduced in the senate this morning by Senator Alahoney, chair man of the committee on labor, and the recognized spokesman in the up- per house of the labor interests, estab- fishing a commission to investigate the question of workmen's compensa- ton, and to prepare necessary amend mcnts to the constitution.
 The measure is highly important one, because it is said by Senator Ma honey to mark the first really sue ccssful attempt to bring capital and labor together upon an equitable and satisfactory basis relative to work mems compensation.

 Less than ten minutes later. accord ing to both Robinson and Robbins, they arrested Shea, Russell and Boyd and on searching Boyd at the jail a few moments later, found the three marked dollars in his pocket
 The booze bottle was introduced over Parks objections. He stoutly maintained that Robinson did not know the contents were whiskey Robinson said he did, for the bottle bore an unbroken government seal and was labeled whiskey. Parks ob- jected because that was "hearsay,' takings the governments word for the nature of the contents. The smell of the stuff he thought was not enough to identify it. He fought the introduction of the three coins, claim ing they might not be the same ones passed to Boyd through Shea and Caulsen and Russell, and asked Rob inson if he didn't know 1t was against the law to deface thus the legal ten der of the United States. Finally, so many objections and exceptions were asked for that the court instructed the reporter to record his formal or der, admitting each and every ad verse ruling to the exception of the defense.
 Shea, Robbins and Russell were then placed on the stand and all sub stantiatcd the story of Robinson.
 The case went to the jury following argument, at little after 5 o'clock.
