These two young men are natives

They were actuated in Joining the

Thirty-third street northwest, yester-
day resigned as sergeant Of the Met
ropolitan police and enlisted In the
U. s. Marine Corps.
It was fitting that he should be
imbued with this patriotic resolve.
because his birthday occurs on July
4, and when Uncle Sam sent out an
s o 8 call for his gallant sons to
rally around the nag, the former po-
liceman got busy without much cere-
mony.

young man yesterday who puts the

His name is Albert Edward Hum

green, all right. there was every
thing to show that he was anything
but a monster excepting in size, as
he is more than six feet in height.

2S3 OFG. ". U.
MEN ARE now
SERVING U. S.
Colleges S Honor List, How.
ever, Is Not Yet
/. Completed.

Prof Richard Cobb. secretary Of
George Washington University, has is
sued list OF 2Ss stulents and faculty
members OF the university who now
are IN the military service. The honor
list still Is far from complete, and
it Is expected that when all of the
students, faculty members, and grad
yates have been listed, more than
1000 will be found in the service.
The deans Of the nine departments
OF the university have been requested
to get as detailed information as pos
sible concerning enlistments and to
forward 1t to the secretary. The task
Is a difficult one, as many of the
students have enlisted without advis-
ing their fellow students of IT. It
is believed, however. that by the end
Of the academic year fairly COM
plete list will have been prepared
The list will form the basis for
determining the number Of stars to
go in the service flag to be dedicated
at the spring commencement In June.
The flag will be presented to the uni
versity by the Women's University
Club.

Roy. Page Sherlock Holmes.

Boy, Page Sherlock Holmes.
There is nothing in the world that
leaves a track like a roll Of tin foil.
And nobody knows this better than
Detective Mullen, who trailed roll
Tuesday afternoon.
The stuff was taken from Smalfs
flower store by Jesse Stevens who
worked there.
1t was too wet for the sleuth to fol-
low Jesse's footprints. SO the next best
thing to do was to follow the TN toli.
This Mullen did and dicovered Jesse
: in the act Of selling it to junk dealer.
OF course the man had to blame the
Demon Rum for his act.
"Ah was picked, Jedge." explained
Jesse. zen eff All had been sober may
be All would have TUX somethin' more
valuable"
This explanation did not sound at all
good to Judge Mullowney.
He doesn't believe that Baltimore
booze is an excuse for anything ex-
cept police court fines.
And so he fined Jesse $50.
Can You Blame Hint
Last Sunday evening down on Third
street southwest. a gang got after
man they had a grudge against ana
cut him up with a raZer.
Bill Hillyard saw the fracas and
went to the rescue of the fellow who
was being cut.
And naturally the gang resented the
interference-andt told Bill that he was
next on the program.
Bill took them seriously and armed
himself with gun.
For a couple Of days ne had to lay
low and lodged the boys who were on
his trail.
Tuesday evening they spotted him
and sent bricks, bottles and other
things after him.
p Seeing himself cornered Bill drew
his gun and fired in the air to scare
the crowd off.
The cops got him and took his gun
away and locked him up.
Judge Mullowny told Bill that he
should have had the bunch arrested at
first and not toted his gun around.
Nevertheless there was the element
of self-defense to be considered, and
also, the fact that Bill did go to the
cops and explain.
And under these circumstances the
court, let him go under suspended sem
tence.
Nice Way to Treat n Friend.
without mentioning any names,
there are three or four men In town
who did something which they
shouldn't have done.
They went out to the race track
Saturday afternoon, played the races.
and came back with a sockful of
money.
1t must have been the first winning
of the season for these boys, else
they would not have been in such
hurry to celebrate it.
They went to Veriie Harris place
and started a crap game.
They played long into the night and
at 2:30 Sunday morning the game got
so exciting the players forgot to
keep quiet.
Policeman Fortney heard the rumpus
and Investigated. He found the bunch
still in action. Es
And of course Harris was nabbed.
He was charged with permitting
gambling on his premises.

No More Grapefruit
After April IA; Ship
Space Goes to Sugar

New York. April lo.-war is
likely to cause the disappear
ance of grapefruit from the
American breakfast table.
The government has ordered
that after April IL ships in the
Cuban service may carry no
other fruit than bananas and
pineapples.
This embargo is for the pur-
pose of saving cargo space for
sugar shipments. The order is
likely to cause heavy losses to
American investors in grape

SUPREME WAR SAVING BODY
 |S SUGGESTED

In order that the suggestion of Maricopa County Chairman James c. Dobbins a Supreme War Savings so- ciety' embracing in it's membership every man. woman and child not al- ready a member of a war savings so- ciety, shall be given impetus, an in formal meeting of several citizens was held yesterday afternoon at the War Savings headquarters. City Chairman H. L. Aller and A. T. Esgate, of the Valley bank, presented an out line of the plan and announced that it was expected to so subdivide the city and to so select workers that every family in Phoenix would shortly be enrolled and definite pledges made.
 In a general way the plan which may be made statewide soon, was outlined in The Republican yesterday morning. The work of Messrs. Aller and Esgate will be purely within the city of Phoe- nix and will probably be directly under the supervision of Mir. Esgate. Last evening MT. Esgate stated that the work of perfecting the plans for the city campaign was being gone into thoroughly and with all possible ex- petition and that he expected to def plans within a day or two. He said that there are now 158 War Savings societies in Phoenix, exclusive of those in the schools of lower grades than those of the high school. These so- cieties will probably be allied with the Supreme War Savings society.

BUNGALOW WILL
 HOLD OFFICIALS

Work will be started today on the construction of a building on the grounds of the state capitol which will house the commission of state insti- tutions and a portion of the state highway department during the spec ial session of the state legislature and possibly until construction is started on the new state house addition.
 This building which is to be a tenn porary- one and wifi be located west of the capitol, facing on. Eighteenth avenue. will be used later by the archi- tect, the draughtsman and foremen of the construction force of the capitol addition, and it's erection at this time only four or five weeks before work on the capitol addition is to begin, solves the problem of finding suitable quarters for the commission of state institutions during the special session of the legislature.
 Located west of the capitol in a clear space. this temporary building will be 9 byS0 feet, with additions about 20 by 25 feet in size on each of two sides. The outside will be plaster and the inside finished in beaver board. The building is to be completed in ten days.
 When the capitol addition is com- pleted. this building will be sold, the salvage of which is expected to be about 50 per cent. Besides the con- mission of state institutions, this building for the next few weeks also will house part of the force of the state engineers department. Quarters fo9 the state land department during the special session will be found in the corridors of the capitol
