London, Oct. 18. (By. Mail. Now

The forces have been formed
from voluntary workers as a means

WORK OUT FULL TIN

Upon the completion Of setting the
criminal calendar this morning. Coun-
ty Attorney John r. Ross served no
,ice in open court that in ali boot
Iegving cases now pending and those
coming up hereafter. he would insist
them being tried under Chapter So.
Session Laws of 1917 Of Arizona.
which is a prohibition act passed
by the last legislature. carrying the
same penalties and practically the
same provisions as the Constitution
al amendment.
Mr. Ross purpose in insisting that
all bootleggers be tried under this
statute is. as he contends. that they
can be sentenced to work on the
road for full time of their term.
Sometime ago Judge Lockwood
ruled tina; persons convicted under
the prohibition amendment 10 the
Constitution could no; be compelled
TO work on the roads. and If they
worked it would have 10 be with their
consent and Ii was then arranged
with the sherif's office. as an in.
ducemea;. TO allow those sentenced,
four days for one. Most of them
consented 10 work and this arrange.
mea. was followed until the commit.
tee from Douglas raised an objection
ard there being no law for giving
extra time for Work. Judge Lockwood
discontinued the four days for one
plan and sentenced all bootleggers
10 full time in the county jail. Thus
the county was being put 10 heavy
expense and getting no benefits from
( this class OF cases.
The question will be thrashed out

GLEESON WINS IN SUIT
EATING BACK TEN YEARS

TUCSON. May 2.-The suit OF
Arthur L. Schwartz against John
Gleeson of Gleason. Ariz.. Jepp Ryan.
Thomas c. Ryan and Ethan B. Ryan.
was non-suited yesterday by Judge
Sawtelle in the federal distric; court,
the court granting a motion Of the
defendants on the ground that the
plaintiff had failed TO show ne had
been injured. that he had failed 10
establish grounds for charge OF
fraud. and further. that the plaintiff
had not showed he had tried to col
lect.
The suit originated ten years ago,
when the Ryans brought suit against
W L. Tevis and W II. Mcki,trick
of Bakersfield. upon allegations Of
breach OF contract in connection with
the old. Turquois Mining & Smelling
company of Gleeson.
Before the suit. which was for
about 100000 damages. had gone
far. the Ryans were about broke and
unable 10 continue pressing the
claim.
Meeting Gleeson upon the streets
in Los Angeles. one of the Ryans
told him the story-and offered Glee-
son 80 per cent of the damage recov-
cred, should anything be recovered.
| II Gleason would finance the litiga-
ton. Gleason consented to this, ac-
cording to the record and the con,
tract was assigned to him and he
fought the case to settlement for
$4,000, after /: had been to the su
preme court of the United States.
The settlement took place in 1919
Gleason collected on the assignment;
OF the contract.
At this point Schwartz entered the
case with a bunch of notes assigned
20 him by one Rosenblum Of Chi
cago. and a judgment obtained against
the Ryans in Kansas City IN 1905
when they operated the Ryan bro
theirs cattle company The judgment
was against the corporation and each
individual member OF it.
4Ie began suit against Gleeson and
the Ryans. charging fraud to evade
the operation of the Kansas judg
ment and sought TO collect against
IGIeeson as well as from the Ryans
some of the money received in the
verdict against Tevis and McKittrick
The case began before the federal
court here Tuesday. During the pro
ceedings the plaintiff admitted that
Jepp Ryan had paid 5000 TO the
plaintiff and had been released from
the operation of the judgment In SC
FAR as ne was concerned, thereby re
lducing the actual amount due to $50.
900 as against the other Ryans. Il
was further admitted that no claim
had been set up against the Ryan'
from 1905 until two years ago and
after the Tevis and McKittrick yer
dict had been rendered.
| The plaintiff closed his case yes
terday morning and rested. There
upon the defendants entered the mo
ton for non-suG. alleging that M
case of fraud had been made ant
that the plaintiff had not been in
jured in any way by the splitting
of damages with Gleason. that Glee
son knew nothing of the judgmen
and was not a party to any effort Il
