TWO GALA DAYS FUR PHOENIX COMING
 DURING APRIL

Two days of the calendar of activities in Phoenix for next week read as follows:
 Thursday, April 1s, Visit of Sec retary MeAdoo.
 Friday, April 19, Circus.
 When Secretary McAdoo comes to Phoenix on April 1S he will ar rive in private car which will be fitted up as an office in order that the secretary, who in addition to being the directing head of the Third Liberty Loan, is director of all the railroads of the country, may conduct the business of the latter during his trip.
 It was suggested yesterday at the office of the corporation com mission that during the visit in Phoenix of Mir. McAdoo it would be a splendid opportunity for that of- fieial to see for himself what sort of depots this city is afforded, es- pecially in view of the statement that when the government takes over the railroads at the conclu- sion of the war all city ticket of- fices in cities of 100000 and less VIII bo dk'ofISHCu anu tiiS puSinSSS conducted at the depots.
 "l have not heard what arrange ments have been made for the re- ception and entertainment of Sec retary McAdoo when he comes to Phoenix on April 1S," said F. A. Jones, chairman of the corporation commission, yesterday, "but should think it would be great chance to show the secretary how badly this city needs a new depot.
 "The program, which have been told has already been tentatively prepared for the time when the government takes over the rail- roads, includes the abolishing of all city railroad offices in cities of 100000 and less, the business to be transacted at the depot offices. While in Washington recently | suggested that the depots in Phoe- nix hardly would be suitable for such a purpose, and it was immed. lately stated that we would then have to have new depots, pretenti- ous enough for the purpose.
 With Secretary McAdoo coming to Phoenix next week, it is my im- ression that the matter of visit to these depots should not be over- looked by the committee in charge of his entertainment"

DRUGGISTS WILL FIGHT CHARGES.
 MADE BY COUNTY
Sale of Goods Containing
 Alcohol and Keeping
 Such Goods In Stock, Is Basis of Several Charges

Charged with disposing of intoxicat- ing liquor or being proprietors of places where liquors were sold, eight of the leading druggists of the city were arrested yesterday, among the number being George N. Mclean and J. A. Jones, members of the city com mission.
 Armed with search warrants, depu- ties of the sheriffs office and repre- sentatives of the Thiel detective ser vice who have been Investigating the cases for the past month, made the rounds of the drug stores early yes l terday morning. The search resulted | in eight and a half cases of Jamaica ginger registering from 90 to 9S per cent alcohol and two cases of Peruna, being confiscated and those against whom warrants were served were George N. Mclean and G. H. Durkee, Capitol Pharmacy: J. A. Jones, A. L. Boehmer and Robert Burns. Adams | Pharmacy; C. D. Dunn, Busy Drug l Store; E. c. Mason, Mason's Phar- macy; and H. H. Hunter. Hunters Drug Store. Bail in the sum of s1,000 was furnished in each case and ar raignments will probably be held this morning if the county attorney can arrange the time.
 The only sensational feature of the wholesale arrests took place in the Busy Drug Store when Hugh Walker, detective, was assaulted by c. R. Dunn when he asked the druggist where he kept his grain alcohol. His glasses smashed, his eye bruised and his fore head cut, the detective felt the effects of his encounter for many hours after he was injured. He intimated that a charge would be made against Dunn.
 According to Walker, the officers and detectives agreed to make the rounds at the same hour and when he and a deputy arrived at the Busy Drug Store at S:45 o'clock, they found that Dunn had not yet arrived They went to his home and he accompanied them back to town. In the machine Walker and E. J. Warren, deputy sheriff, explained the charge against Dunn and notified him that they had a search warrant. He offered no ob- jection, but when Walker asked the whereabouts of the alcohol, he was struck by Dunn, the blow smashing his glasses.
 T haven't any grain alcohol ant haven't had since prohibition wen into effect" Dunn is alleged to have said
 Walker disputed the fact, mention ing the name of a clerk who is no now in town, from whom he procur ed it.
 You are a liar" Dunn is charged with saying and at that dealt him blow that rendered him semi-uncon scious.
 Walker stated that from Februar, Ii to March 25 he has been gatherin, data for the county attorney in boot logging and gaming cases. Speaking of one particular case he said he ha, nothing on George Mclean unti March 25."
 He claimed before that time his mel had attempted to procure Jamaic ginger there but had failed until A. [

 When Sheriff Wilky and Deputy Sheriff Charles Nafzinger read the in formation against him to one of the druggists, he remarked that it was no more than he expected He de- clared that he welcomed the action of the officers, for the druggists would now know just what they could sell We don't know where we stand" he said. We have toilet water in stock containing as much as 75 per cent alcohol yet we are permitted to dis pose of that. McLain's Strengthening Cordial contains more alcohol than the law allows, yet there has been no com plaint against that. When the edict was issued against Port Olive, we dis carded that-the thing we wish to know is what can and what can't we have in stock"
 Jamaica ginger appears to have been the favoTite beverage and was taken 1 in Cocoa Cola. It is said that it was

warden spoke seemed to be re- Iieved at the announcement and turned to leave. They had been brought to the office of the state game warden by a deputy warden who had interrupted them as they were picking up nice large fish that had been stranded on the banks of the Salt river.
 The water of that river had been completely turned off above the diversion point and the fish were left high and dry waiting for the first person who came along. The deputy game warden who made the arrests admitted that he didn't know what to do with the case and turned it over to his chief. The two men were sent on their way.
 'lt is nothing unusual for people to pick up fish in this manner" said Mir. Willard. Frequently the fish get down the canals and into alfalfa fields where they are stranded when the irrigation water is absorbed. 1t has been suggested by several people that the canals be screened to prevent the fish from getting into the fields, but that would cost more than all the fish arc worth"

syrian PROPHET
PAYS $50 FINE ON
ASSAULT CHARGE

4 tale of the old superstitions and
the use Of charms and amulets, still
prevalent in Syria, was told in Police
Court today bv Waharaud Barkat, a
torty-year-oId Syrian peddler of Isces
and fancy work. Barkat was ar
rested by Sergeant Davis and Detec-
tive Waters, Of the Fifth precinct.
charged with telling fortunes without
license, and with an assault on Mrs.
Estella NJ. Keyes, a police matron.
According to the evidence OF Mrs.
Keyes, Barkat went to her home
Monday, offering laces and embroid-
cry for sale. At the time he vaguely
limited at occult powers. In order to
discover what his intention was Mrs.
Reyes told him to return yesterday,
and later informed the Fifth precinct
When the Syrian arrived Mrs. Reyes
brought him into her home, $50 D
street southeast. Sergeant Davis and
Detective Waters were hidden behind
9 partition in the next room.
According TO Mrs. Keyes, Bsrkat
first asked her if she had any chill
dren. On her replying in the mega
tive, he asked her how long she had
been married. She told him FIVE years.
How They Do IL In Syria.
Five years and no Children in
quired the protested seer. I'm my
country We have charms that would
give them to you"
He then produced four pieces of
paper, covered with cryptic inscrip-
tions, telling Mrs. Keyes that she
should secrete one OF them under her
pillow and the two others under her
arms. The fourth, a larger one, he
told her. she should treasure. II she
followed his instructions carefully, he
promised that she should have a child
by the 18th OF next month.
At the close OF the seance Mrs.
Keyes testified, she paid Barkat 50.
She further stated that he tried TO
embrace her after receiving the
money. She cried out, and the two
officers rushed into the room, making
the Syrian a prisoner.
On the stand Barkat, in broken
English, stated that he meant no
harm. He said that in Syria pieces
of charmed paper are used as cures
for all ills. Aches and pains of every
description, he claimed. are quickly
and effectively cured by driving away
the evil spirits by means OF such
smulets. His apparent faith in his
charms did not seem in the least
shaken by the grillIng he received
while on the witness stand.
Judge Harrison, in the District OF
columbia branch of the court, where
Earkat was tried on a charge of tell
ing fortunes without a license. ruled
that the man was not trying to tell
fortunes, but only praCticing rites
that were to him sacred and relig-
Ious. On the grounds that every man
Is entitled to freedom in his religious
views he dismissed the case
In the United States branch of the
court, where Barkat was tried for
assault, he did not fare so easily.
Judge HulIowny imposed fine OF $50
for assault The fine was paid.
