AMERICANS SPARE
Contin Icd from page l

Around the shortening arc To the south
OF the Crown Princes army the Franco
Americans. swung forward at daylight
Saturday in pursuit of the Germans.
Again II was difficult at places to maintain
contact, so rapidly were the Germans
moving northward to escape the closing
Hanks from Soissons to Rheims.
CONDITIONS At HOSPITALS EAsED
The hurried retreat of the Germans has
served to relieve conditions in the hos
pltals since there has been marked falling
of in the number of wounded. The
number went to the rear in the last two
days has been almost negligible.
Dressing stations have been able to
send to the bases all the cases on hand
and move forward to ne in a position to
care for new ones when brought in. As n
matter OF fact most OF those now asking
aid are men who had dropped out be-
cause of exhaustion
Broken trees smashed roads and other
conditions In the forests through which
the American and French followed the
Germans Indicated the enemy must have
had great difficulty in moving artillery,
due partly To the rains which softened
the ground
ENORMOUS BooTY FROM ROCHE.
The Germans succeeded only nj n. great
cost IN getting behind the Aisne from
Solssons tn Condc-sur- Aisne, where the
Nesle flows into the larger stream They
also lost heavily along the Ncsle from
the Aisnc to Rheims The booty re-
ported taken by the Allies is only small
part Of what the enemy was obliged TO
abandon to the flames
The entire country along the battle
front has been lighted up nightly by I'M

which had been laborlouslv transported
across the Alsnc and the Vesle for the
great assault on Paris

ALLEGED vENDERS
 IF HER0|N BOUND

John Tisdel, for 30 years a resi-. dent of Arizona, where he gained the name of Overall Kid and Joseph Francis Delgardo, known as "One-Eyed Joseph were bound over to the federal grand jury yesterday by Frank De Souza, acting United States commissioner, on the charge 1 of dealing in heroin without register ing with the internal revenue col | lector.
 The bond in each instance was placed at s1,000 and in neither case was it furnished. Harry V. William son, narcotic inspector, who caused the arrest of the men, took the stand at the preliminary hearing yesterday and testified that he confiscated 15 packages of three grains each which were addressed to, Dan Collins in Miami and taken to the Union stage to be expressed by Delgardo. Collins l is now being held at Globe.
 The drug was handled here, is the charge, by "One-eyed Joseph" but a letter found on Overall Kid'' con- nected him with the alleged crime. In it the writer asked that drugs be forwarded him. In testifying "Over- all Kid" admitted that he had received other requests for drugs but there was nothing strange in that, because old time residents knew that for 15 years he had been addicted to the use of drugs. He declared that he had not used a drug since 1912 nor had he ever sold any. He walked over to the office with Deleardo when he forwarded the heroin not knowing what the package contained
 "One-eyed Joseph was voluble on the stand. Constantly biting his nails and showing other evidences of nerves, he freely discussed the situa- I tion. His appearance bore out the story of ill health which featured it He declared that his physical condi- tiOn was such that he had to be content to accept any sort of odd job and since coming to Phoenix several months ago, had been engaged in running errands and delivering messages. 1t was on such an errand that he delivered the drug to the Union stage company. A man known as Blackey Bert, who had received his mail addressed to Bert Ross gave it to him to post, he said. He had previously been to the postoffice for him and had received 50 cents for calling for his mail. Bert had tt leave early one morning for Glendale
 so asked Delgardo to see that the package was sent to Globe as ad- dressed. Delgardo put it under hls
 pillow and the next morning went to the stage company as directed.
 It was sent collect and as such ex-
 press could not be received by tn,
 stage, driver who referred "One- -eyet
 Joseph" to the office. The witnes: declared that when Bert heard tha the package had been left at th' office he was very much perturbed You should have brought it back, l Bert said, according to the witness , who could not aid the government , in getting in touch with Bert. Ht mentioned one man who might know
 where he was, but this man had only
 name and was without address ol
 business
 | Neither defendant had subpoenaet } a witness, resting on their own story l They were represented by B. B. Good win.

PURPLE GRAPEFRUIT
 ARE GROWN LOCALLY

A cluster of purple grapefruit was placed on exhibition at the Phoenix Chamber of Commerce yesterday by Diller brothers. The grape fruit has a dark crimson skin with purple tints It was grown on tree planted few years ago from a slip brought from Florida. Indications are that the pur- pie grapefruit will become one of the best varities grown here or anywhere, say chamber of commerce officials.
 The Differs have new orange com ing on. It is a small orange, ripen- ing early, in manner similar to the Washington navel. It will possibly be of better quality than the Washington. There is only one tree in existence at present. the Differs having brought it forth through the system of mutation.
