.INTERVENOR IS
AWARDED GEMS
BY JUDGE HERE

Mrs. Alice Burns, interyenor in the
famous diamond case of Harry Per-
sons versus Jeff Adams, was awarded
her jewels yesterday by Judge Lyman.
The case was set for re-hearing and
when the plaintiff who some time ago
left for parts unknown failed to put in
appearance, his attorneys, Struckmeyer
and Jenckes. stated they had no evil
dence to offer. The court awarded
judgment for the defendant for costs
and for the intervenor possession of
the property and costs.
late last summer young Person. who
then occupied the position of court re-
porter in the superior court, was taken
into custody charged with the theft of
diamond jewels alleged to have been
stolen from the apartment occupied by
Mrs. Burns in the Blenheim. Person
was never arraigned and after a time
the complaint was dismissed. Person
then brought suit against Sheriff Ad-
ans for the possession of the diamonds
which he claimed as his own property.
The replevin suit was of more than or
binary interest and though there was
proof in plenty that Persons had
pawned several diamonds at this time,
experts failed to identify the stones. He
was awarded judgment.
A motion for a new trial was made,
based on affidavits signed by the wom-
an from whom Person charged he
bought the stones "Puss" Hall stated
that she had never owned the diamonds
nor had she sold any stones to the
young stenographer. The new trial was
granted. 1t was continued from time
! to time, awaiting the arrival of Person
| who is believed to be somewhere in the
United States.

HOG BUYING MAY
PAYFOR JOURNEY

Not many people leave Arizona bet
ter pleased with things in general
than did A. Laverty, and Mrs. Laverty,
who after spending several weeks here
as guests of the Jefferson Hotel, are
now on their way back to their home in
Ashland, Nebraska. In the first place
they had good rest here, escaped the
rigo-s of Nebraska winter, met hosts
of interesting people, made scores of
friends, and probably made enough
out of a single business deal to pay the
entire expense of the outing
And this latter observation brings
out the fact that A. J. Moore, of the
Arizona Livestock Commission COM
pany. is a live wire when it comes to
boosting Arizona products. He was in
troduced to Mr.. Laverty recently and
in short order so interested him in Salt
River Valley hogs, that just before de-
parting for his home the Nebraskan
purchased 331 head of young hogs,
which went out a day or two ago in
two stock cars They We're purchased
at a figure that insures MIR. Laverty a
neat return on his investment when
they reach the Ashland market.
Mr.. Laverty is prominent in Republi-
can circles in Nebraska and so enjoys
the confidence of those who know him
that he has several times been elected
state senator from his district and
could have been elected indefinitely
had he consented to run. He says that
outside of Nebraska in the summertime
no place in the world has anything on
| Arizona in general and the Salt River
valley in particular.

SINGLE TAX SENTIMENT GROWS

At the last, session of the Oklahoma.
legislature Senator Clarence DAVIS IN
troJuced q resolution which provided
for the establishment Of the meritorl-
Gus single tax in those counties OF the
state which desired to take advantage
Of the only equitable taxation method
which has been proposed Senator
Davis went to defeat by a small
margin when the vote was taken, put
the defeat was merely temporary.
Many senators supported the Davis
measure and they are expected to be
in line when the Creek county senator
again presents the resolution, which
he will in the early days of the SEES
sion.
While rejecting the single tax prop
osition, the Legislature favored part
of the method, as was evidenced by
| the concession of taxes made TO favor
manufacturing institutions. instead OF
penalizirg them as fast is they eX-
| banded
t was announced that Senator
| Fred Tucker would introduce a bill
| having for its object the exemption
| of oil in storage and oil refinery
| property from taxation. Here is an
other semi single tax measure which
| shows the growth of the sentiment
| Our statesmen seem to have come
| to a realization that filming industry
is discouraging, and that the way t.
develop a state is to offer encourage
ment to manufacturing the Tucker
bill is certain to have substantial sup
| port.
Then comes Senator Wilson OF
Greer county, who will offer a bill
that establishes q graduated land tax
| This is the simple way of putting the
| single tax into operation without dis
turbing conditions, and is in harmony
| with the urgent appeal which Senator
| Davis made at the last session. SO i
| seems that Mr.. Davis will have {
| loyal supporter from Greer county.
The Wilson bill is designed to make
| less attractive the large land hold
ings of Oklahoma and give the land
less the chance to own a home.
Senator Davis started somethin,
worth while when he brought tn,
single tax to the attention of the leg
islature at the last session and h.
