JOHN CROFT IS
BOUND OVER To
HIGHER COURT
Defendant in Hughes Case
Fails to Take Stand in
Own Behalf at Hearing
Before Justice at Tempe,

John Croft, charged with completely
in the murder of Stephen Hughes of
Tempe, was given his preliminary
hearing before Justice of the Peace
Cummings at Tempe yesterday. The
court found there was enough evil
dence to warrant holding Croft, and
bound him over to the superior court,
fixing his bail at $4,000.
Croft stoutly claims he knows moth
ing about the matter. He did not take
the stand in his own behalf. Sheriff
Wiiky, Constable Woods OF Tempe and
". 7. Cummings of Tempe We're the
only witnesses called. Croft was rep
resented by his attorney, E. Van Bever.
A. Anderson, jointly charged with
Croft with the murder of Hughes, was
on the southside all of yesterday. He
was taken to Tempe and Chandler by
deputies from the sheriff's office to
show them where ne had sold large
Quantities of hay belonging on the
Hughes ranch
Anderson now claims that he and
Croft were actively engaged in boot
Logging during their escapades in
Tempe; but, like other charges made
by Anderson, Croft claims there is
nothing to it, and that it is merely a
fabrication of the young man.

so many famous authors and artists

way he did, but eventually everything
comes out right and the friends are
happy.

FIRST ARIZONA IS
READY To BATTLE
NATION SEVENTIES

That the First Arizona infantry is
willing to fight the Germans, is q
foregono conclusion, according to
Adjutant General Harris, who has
Just returned from regimental head
quarters.
There are a number of officers of
German descent in the regiment, but
they are ell willing to fight for their
country, which is the United States.
One lieutenant. who was educated in
the FatEerland, is especially emphatic
in his demand to De sent 10 France
to aid in whipping the Germans.
Ever since I have been a boy" is
his quaint way of putting it, Il have
wanted to lick Dutch cousin of
mine. He is a hussar now, and lead
me to him.
There is a great deal Of good ma
tured joshing going the rounds of the
officers mess regarding what will be
done with the country which Mexico
plans to conquer with the aid OF
Germany. One officer of German de-
scent, claims he is going to be the
Duke of Bisbee, while a Mexican Of
ficer, it is said,y has applied for a
joh as the Tin Can of Cananea,
whatever that it, Another officer
owing to the fact that he had an oper
and trusting face, has been dubbed
the Duke of Hereford"
The men we're all disappointed al
not being mustered out, but it is the
opinion of everyone that if they are
ordered on active service, the grumb-
ling will cease. In case of war, the
number of men in the ranks will have
to be doubled
Colonel Harris thinks there will be
no trouble in obtaining the men Ii
case there is war, he stated yester-
day, men will begin volunteering a.
once. If they do not, it is his opinion
that the federal government viii
start drafting. Under the provisions
of the new army bill. it is possible
to draft men to fill up the variou:

The first dramatic presentation thai
Phoenix has ever witnessed of that
powerful moral lesson, Damaged

The play is above all a powerful
plea for the tearing away of the veil OF

shrouded this subject of the penalty OF
sexual immortality.

danger that fathers and mothers

Frank Mcintyre at Lamara

Frank Mcintyre, greatest stage sue
cess, THE Travelling Salesman" which
is the Paramount production at the
Lamara today for the last time, was
received with great favor by the large
audience which attended the Lama1a
to see the famous Broadway star in his
first motion picture, appearing with
Mr.. Mcintyre. Miss Doris Kenyon
who has appeared in motion pictures
of other concerns makes her debut to
Paramount audiences
If there is one season of the year
that the most inveterate traveller likes
to be at his home, it is during Christ
mas, the poor travelling salesman sell
dom has the good fortune to so ar
range his schedule SO he reaches home
so he generally picks the best town on
mis- route. Imagine the disgust with
which Bob Blake, travelling man, dis
covered that a careless porter had per-
mitted him to oversleep on Christmas
morning and that he was miles beyond
his station. The picture is one of those
good clean ones that will please any
one looking for entertainment of the
better kind. The Burton Holmes trav-
elogue is also of exceptional merit to-
day.

HIonsgeIegs Cab
Displaees Last
Sea-Goin@ Hack

The millennium has arrived. The
last cab in Phoenix has deserted the
streets, and the last cab driver has
hung up his whip, and is now sit
tina behind the wheel OF Buick 6.
For ten years, rain or shine, a cab
has stood in front of DoyIe's Cigar
Stand on North Central avenue.
Each night in the week jim Cooper,
known to practically everyone in
town as "SIim," stood within calling
distance of the carriage, and catered
to the wants of the footWeary.
Time was when Sims business
was, extensive and profitable All
night long until daylight he
answered calls coming from every
part of the city. His horses be-
came weary with pulling the
vehicle ten years ago, but Of late
they became weary from standing in
the same spot. The auto for hire
accomplished their downfall.
For the past four or i've years
Slim has been stoutly denying he
would surrender, and offered to lay
large wagers he would stick it out
until main. line was built to Phoe-
nix. For some reason or another,
he has gwen IN, ana now talks
about clutches and gear shifts,
where his conversation was once
loaded with fifth wheels and the
huh cost of whale bone.
Gasoline is now OF more interest
than alfalfa, and speedometer
looks better to Slim than did ever
a rainy night-fcr of late years it
was on rainy nights that he pros
pered. When the dry spells ended,
and the autos were forced to stay
on the pavements, Slim fairly
seethed with sarcasm and singing
words about the gas bugeies. His
old cab drawn by two equally aged
horses were IN constant demard
and as long as the harness held to-
gether, he took anyone and every
enc home in spite OF sticky 'dobe
and water-fiIIed roads.

in the pathetic side of the bachelor as
he was in the humorous. Miss Myrtle

To save part of the millions of dollars loss, which Alabama is now annually suffering in not utilizing waste material from her lumber, Howard w. Weiss, director of the forest products laboratory of the United States, has taken steps looking to the establishment of a paper mill in the Tuscaloosa dis trict. MT. Weiss after a thorough investigation is convinced that such a plant, operated in conjunction with the big lumber mills, would prove wonderfully successful. Several other by-produet plants, in addition to the paper mill, would also prove profitable, in the opinion of MT.

The best profit to be obtained from feeding livestock is the stable manure. With our lands re- spending as they do to applications of stable manure the amount saved, especially when a liberal of bedding is used, may be equal to the value of the feeds used; certainly equal to the manural or fertilizer value of the feeds used. The stockman who allows half of this profit to waste through teaching or through failure to provide ample bedding is neleeting to save the only certain profit from the feeding of livestock.

SIATf'S RiGiIIS.

Fremont Tribune: The decision of the United States supreme court upholdng the Webb Kenyon liquor law is another incident show ing how the wave of sentiment against liquor is sweeping the country, and foes of John Barley corn everywhere will rejoice in this legal action.
 The Webb-Kenyon law was passed by congress for the purpose of preventing the shipment Of liquor from wet territory into dry territory through channels of inter state commerce. The alleged con stitutonal right to do this has long been contended and the practice under it has been the greatest ob- stacle to the enforcement of prohi bition laws in dry states. The common carriers have transported liquor into dry states under the authority of the federal govern ment and states that would bar 1t out have been unable to do so. The federal supreme court now holds that the states have the authority to legislate in the matter, and so far as liquor is concerned, if the states legislate against admis- sion of it from the outside it cannot be shipped in.
 While the tendency of railroad legislation has in other matters been toward a centralized federal control, in this instance the decis- ion appears to have been in the op- posite direction. The court having a Democratic majority 1t may be expected that the rights of the state will be hereafter more gener- ally regarded than hitherto.
