SALARY SUIT IS AR
 GUED ON A DEMURRER
(From Sundays Daily.)

AAio DHAheJ Ng"(
 The first appearance in court of the famous case of William Stephens against the board of supervisors, (in- cluding himself as chairman), was yesterday before Judge Lyman, when the demurrer of the defendants was argued by H. H. Linney, acting for the county attorney and L. P. Spauld- ing, of the office of Norris & Norris for the plaintiff.
 The demurrer merely states that the facts set up in the complaint arc not sufficient to constitute cause at law.
 Stephens is suing the board to pre- vent it from paying the raises author ized in the recently operative county classification bill, in the cases of of hcers who receive their jobs at the hands of the electors. The constitu- ton states that the salary of no elect i've officer shall be increased or di- unfinished during his term in office, and it is Stephens contention that this invalidates the new salary law until there is lawful change of of- fee, to-wit, by election two years hence.
 Judge Lyman allowed the argu- ment to stand, and will receive mem- oranda of authorities between now and his next visit to Prescott on June Fist

SCOUT EXECUTIVE ON WAY TO ALABAMA JOB; PRE- s FEN TED WITH A H ANDSOME TIMEPIECE BY HIS FRIENDS.
(Fron Tuesdays Oaily.)

Well, this certainly puts me up in the air. l don't know what to say"
 Thus Howard w. Wester at the depot yesterday afternoon, when a delegation of Boy Scouts and "Old Scouts presented the retiring scout executive with a handsome gold watch, engraved;
 "In Appreciation of the
 Services of Howard
 "Wester, from
 "A Few "Old Scouts"
 "Of Prescott.
 Wcstcr. in not quite ten months of service here as head of the Boy Scouts, made himself so thoroughly liked, that he could scarcely get loose to obey orders of his chief and go to Birmingham, Alabama, to take charge of the scout work in that big city. With him went Mrs. Wcster and their children, who will spend the Summer with relatives in Virginia, while the head of the family is or ganizing things in Birmingham. He has l,2OO boys and 40 scoutmasters to take care of in the Steel City.
 w. O. Hoogestraat, who has taken charge oi the Boy Scout work for the Summer, and is now installed at the bean and spud ranch, presented the watch to WcStcr at the depot, as the scout executive was taking his re- luctant departure.
 Westcr was rather overcome at the handy little gift, and could only stammcr his thanks. His work has been highly appreciated here, not only by the boys and their parents, but by the people interested in civic prog ress. Beside doing great work with the boys, WcStcr has proven invalu- able to the chamber of commerce and other organizations, to which he has given his services.
 The watch was the gift of some of the people who have worked with lim in the chamber of commerce and along other lines than scout work hcrc He is followed by the very pest wishes for his success, and con sratulations upon his big promotion.

NEXT STEPS IN DRAFT ID BE
 TAKEN SOON
BREEN, DISCUSSING OF TIGER OUTLINES PLAN FOR SELECTION OF. MEN FOR WAR SERVICE; JURY WHEEL TO BE USED.
(From Tuesday's Daily.)

PHOENIX, June H. With the selectivc draft registration out of the way, the next step in forming the new army is the organization of the boards to hear and pass upon the claims for exemption. According to word from Washington received at the office of Colonel Breen, State off, Ger in charge of the draft, the rules and regulations by which this second step of the work is to be conducted arc now in course of preparation.
 The law provides for local exempt ion boards in each county of Arizona, there being no cities of 5000 popu, lation. Boards of review also will be established on the basis of one or more to each Federal judicial district.
 The section of the law relating to tribunals to hear pleas for exemption provides that there be civil and not military hearings. There are to be three persons on each board appoint cd by the president. There will be an appeal tribunal in each Federal judici- al district. The president would be the final court of appeal
 The regulations in detail have not ycf been announced by the war de- partment. Persons exempted will be given a service button and papers to show that they have been exempted, but the exemption lasts only while they actually arc needed in civil life or physically disqualified. They might be called in for another draw ing ii their necessity in industry or agriculture no longer existed. Per sons where it is clearly shown will leave actual dependents behind also will be exempt under rules to be laid down.
 As yet, no date for the draft has been received by Colonel Brecn, but the probabilities are that it will be made as soon as possible, possibly by July l, so that the men finally called to the army can be in camp ready foi training by August l.
 It is said that Provost Marshal Cen cral Crowder favorS immediate draft ing of men registered, rather than the postponemcnt of the draft for several weeks Every drafted man, it is claimed, should know that fact as soon as possible so that he can have a few weeks to make his personal ar engagements before being called to the colors.
 Although the plans are not yet com- plete, it is probable that the jury wheel system will be followed in sc- lccting those who are to go into the first army, and that not until the names have been drawn and each reg istration district has provided the number apportioned to it, will ex, cmption be considered As, each in dividual drawn reports, his claims for exemption will be passed upon, and Ii he is exempted another will be drawn to fill the vacancy

A Hint to the Aued.

If people past sixty years of age could be persuaded to go to bed as soon as they take cold and remain in bed for one or two days, they would recover much more quickly, especially if they take Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. There would also be less danger of the cold being followed by any of the more serious diseases.

Mary Pickford Is Coming to Coliseum.

"A Poor Little Rich Girr' will dis close Mary Pickford in a picture which although a typical Pickford charm. presents the famous girl-star in character quite different from any thing in which she has appeared here tofore. For instance. who ever heard of Mary Pickford being regular little bob-cat when it comes to fighting? Yet this is just what proves to be the case in Little Mary's' new film when a gang of street urchins attack her at her palatial home.
 In the luxurious conservatory, with it's lily pond and gigantic palms she battles with a half dozen sturdy young sters and finally sets them to route at the cost of much expensive furnishings well as her own immaculate ap- pearance. Bespattered from head to foot with mud from the erstwhile lily pond and severely scratched she stands triumphant as the remains of the gang are set to flight The urchins used in these scenes were instructed to give real battle and in fighting them off the popular little star had her hands full in every sense of the expression-as well as her teeth and feet. After this fight Miss Pickford's activities for the day at the studio ceased right then

Bird s-Eye Views ITsed in Fox Film.

Bird's-eye views were taken to bring out the action in When False Tongues Speak" new William Fox production. It was deemed necessary to show the movement of five persons at the time of a murder--the murder itself not be- ing screened--and the only way to do this and not destroy the mystery-was to picture it from above.
 To obtain the desired cross-section shot" of the room, a large setting was built out-of-doors at the studios in Fort Lee, N J. The room was fully furnished, and even complete gar den laid out with trees and shrubbery, adjoining it.
 Over this "set" was built bridge sixty feet high. spanning the room and the garden. Holes were bored through the floor and through them were aimed the lenses of three cameras directed upon the scene. Openings were also left for the camera man and his as sistants to watch the action, and for the director to shout instructions through megaphone to the actors be- low
 It was found necessary to elevate the bridge to sixty feet to give the camera wide enough range to include the en- tire setting. Virginia Pearson stars in this production
