referred to Sam W. Proctor. secretary Of the state corporation commission. for solution by woman from another state who says she is "S9 years young but should have known better" This youthful octogenarian writes to the commission that she at one time pur- chased 1000 shares of a certain com pany which is incorporated in Arizona. The capital stock of the company at that time, she writes. was $69 ,0OO ,OO0 of pal value of S1 a share. Since then the company has been through a transforming and juggling process. she declares, until the capital stock has been reduced to S1,0O0,O00 of par val ue of ten cents per share.
 They have offered me 100 shares of the new stock for my 1000 shares of the old stock" the woman writes Now please tell me where l stand, if have been stung and whether l owe the company money" Mir Proctor is still figuring on the problem.
 Eighteen months at hard labor and d fine of $500 or one day for each dollar for Cole Evans and Earl Erwin and 2 two years suspended sentence for Mrs. Belle Evans, were the sentences i'm posed by Judge Stanford on the trio convicted by a jury of introducing in- toxicatIng liquor.
 The sentences were passed after the defendants counsel pleaded for lenien- cy. ". l.. Barnum made a strong plea urging the court to extend mercy. pleading to the end for corrective punishment"
 That Mrs. Evans in seeking to warn her husband and brotheT-in-law that the officers were in wait for them was only 0Oing what any loving and faith full wife would do, was the contention Of P. II. Hayes who declared her con duct was justifiable.
 The jury in the case of the woman who went to Buckeye to tip off the men coming from the coast with ma chine load of liquor. recommended Q suspended sentence.
 The threecent Iare case has been definitely postponed and will not be set for hearing until after the war is ended. according tO a stipulation enter ed into by the Southern Pacific and Santa Fe railrDads and the Arizona cor pOratiOn commission.
 The case was to be set on the April calendar of the federal court in PhOe' nix. Several years ago the Arizona corporation commission issued an or der that three cents should be the rate charged on main lines in Arizona. The Santa Ft and Southern Pacific brought suit in the federal court to restrain the commission from placing the order in effect The court issued such an in junction. but with the provision that every ticket sold should have refund check attached to it. in case the com mission won out in the final suit. This final suit is what has been postponed until after the war.
