wives, the Moonlight club members
and their wives and the local dealers

pressed spirits that may have been
present Something doing all Of the

SILVER LOCKS PREFERRED.
Many married men had face and hair
messages in the presence of friend

were played a favorite by the singers
who wore path through the audience
to pick out their victims.
The vaudeville entertainment was
followed by dance, each man in the
room removing two chairs and then
when the ballroom was cleared of fur
nitrre the canvas was taken from
the floor and the stage removed. After
this the orchestra got busy and sleep
was taboo for a long, long time, but
the fun continued.

 MRS. MINNIE WALSH

The charge of embeZzlement against Mrs Minnie K Walsh, after trial of TWO days, was dismissed yesterday by Justice De Souza. Though so long a roriod had been occupied with the talk ing of evidence. after it was all Tn IL was found that there was little varia- ton in it. Time might nave been saved at the outset by a stipulation as to facts.
 Tho facts were that Mrs. Walsh had a contract with r.. l.. McGee and wife for the sale of group of mines near Wickenburg. The price of the McGee's for the mines was Si.500. Accordinf to the contract which was generally re felred 10 as an option. Mrs. Walsh was 10 have all above that amount she could get for the property. Later she sold an option on the property to Mrs. Clement. the complaining witness for S10,000 retaining a half interest in it for herself.

 Payments were made on the option from time to time. and the payments Mrs. Clement sent to Mrs. Walsh were divided. according to the contract of inc latter with the McGees. fifty-fiye per cent for helrself and forty-fivc per cent for them.

QUARANTINE ALSO |S
 TOPROTECT SOLDIER

pr. A. E. Nichols. county physician. said yesterday that the quarantine placed on the Roosevelt school district had a great deal more significance than such quarantines usually have. nasmuch as this quarantine is a war measure in addition to being a regular quarantine.
 There will be several hundred men going away to Camp Cody. near Dem- ing, N. NJ, soon, said Dr. Nichols. At Camp Cody there are 10000 na- tional army soldiers. It would not do for us to permit any of our Maricopa men to carry smallpox into that camp, thus menacinS the health of the entire camp.
 We have placed a guard on the Center street bridge to see that the quarantine is enforced by people liv- ing in the Roosevelt district, on the other side of the river" said the doctor.
 Children attending the high school in Phoenix, provided there is no small pox in their families. will be permitted to take part in or to attend the gradu- ation exercises, but they are not per mitted to continue going to school. The quarantine of the district provides that people of the district shall not meet in public places. such as church, theaters or schools. Homes in which there is smallpox are quarantined completely no one being permitted to go or come There has been only three cases dis covered in the district. and we hope by strict precaution to prevent smallpox going any farther

 Ut was the theory of the state that Mrs. Walsh was partner of the com plaining witness.

 The whole business section of the city is to close for that afternoon. The merchants are reminded that these men are closing up their business for an indefinite time to go to war for the whole world, and it is little to ask for the business men to close for one af- ternoon in their honor.

WOULD INTERN ALL
Who ARE SLACKERS

ATLANTA, Ca, August 27-That
the man who refuses either to work
or to fight should be interned as a
common enemy and made to render
service is one of a number of strik-
ing statements contained in the ser
mon of the Rev. J. ". Ham YESTERDAY
at the Baptist Tabernacle. His sub
ject was Emperor William the Mod
ern Belshazzar, the Handwriting Is
Now on the Wall"
He introduced it with a discussion
of the new work or fight law in Geor-
gia, and in the course of his remarks
declared that every non-producing
citizen of Georgia is a parasite upon
democracy, barnacle upon the ship
of state; and that every loafer is a
friend of the kaiser and should be
looked upon with supreme disgust
and contempt by every loyal Ameri-
can"
He hit out good and strong against
the pool-rooms, Elimination beer
Joints cheap places of amusement,
Dance halls, eating places and street
corner fashion plates Oggling the wo-
men as they pass"
Dr. Ham says that the kaiser's time
is near, and that the handwriting
pointing to his end is clearly TO be
seen upon the wall of history
