DECAPO POD ENGINE
 FUR SERVICE IN
 STATE |S LIN WAY

Somewhere between the shops of the American Locomotive company and the round house of the Arizona Eastern railroad in Phoenix, the largest and most powerful Decapod locomotive ever seen in this city is headed this way. Every day for the past two or three weeks, Superintendent c. NJ. Scott. of this division of the Arizona Eastern. mas been making earnest inquiry by wire and by letter as to the progress or the big engine. And every day he mas received assurances that no pains are being spared to keep it moving Phoenlxward despite annoying delays at one point, or necessary sidetracking at another
 This big monster of the rails. about the last word in modern railway loco motive construction has a total weight ot 519,O00 pounds, 34S,O00 pounds of winch IS represented by the engine proper, and 171.000 pounds by the tender. It is of the ten drive-wheel type and its tractive power, or draw bar pull is rated at '65,3 300 pounds.
 When this big locomotive arrives and IS placed in commission it will give 10 the Arizona Eastern the very best that money can buy. It will be a more powerful machine than any railroad in the southwest now operates. Its ar rival will mark an epoch in twentieth century railroading.
 But Superintendent Scott. pleased 1 beyond measure with the acouirement or the big Decapod, plans to make of it an even more wonderful machine than the American Locomotive company puliders planned. By a process of

She has main tained the conservative policy that has always been in effect during her term of office and has not let the club lose it's Individuality in doing its bit in service work. The Red Cross endeavor has not been slighted by the club women who have car ried out the departmental work as in the past, working consistently in aid of every war measure.
 Besides Red Cross work the club has welcomed and encouraged speak CTS in Liberty loan campaigns, just as they are now doing in the thrift stamp campaign. Conservation laws are emphasized and put in practice whenever possible.
 This war attitude has had the staunch approval of Mrs. McNeff who has divided her services be- tween the club of which she is chairman and the different branches of war work.
 The officers elected to serve with Mrs. McNeff are Mrs. James S. 'Grif fin, vice president; Mrs. Ancil Mar tin, corresponding secretary, Mrs. w. $. Norviel, treasurer; Mrs. $. D.

BOOTLEGGERS IN SUPREME COURT. GET SMALL HOPE
All but One of Cases the Outgrowth of Bootlegging Affirmed; Priestly's Re
 quest for Retrial Granted

It was "bootleggers' day" in su- preme court, but for the most of them there was no resultant gain. One, however, was given a lease of life, Stanley Priestly, appellant against the state. respondent from Yavapai county It was found that Priestly had not been given a proper show for his white alley in the selection of the jury that tried him. His case was reversed and remanded for a new trial.
 Priestly was an attendant at the soft drink" emporium of Bob Birch at Prescott. Before the prohibition law went into effect, one in Priest ly's position would have been called a bartender. Another attendant. one Duff, was also arrested and tried before the trial of Priestly. was charged with dispensing alcoholic drinks upder the guise of soft drinks.
 Duff was convicted. The case of Priestly was nearly like that of Duff; practically the same testimony was awaiting him. Five of the jurymen who had convicted Duff qualified over the objection of the defense to try Priestly. The court believed that though these jurymen might have thought that they could try Priestly impartially, it was impossible for them to have done so after having tried Duff.
 The appeal of Duff was also be- fore the supreme court and the judgment against him was affirmed.
 The court also found that no sub stantial injustice had been done Birch himself and the judgment against him was affirmed.
 Another matter before the court was that of the Superior and Pitts burg Mining company, appellant, against Steve Davidovitch or Steve Davis, appellee. from Cochise county. The appellee had secured a verdict for $10.000 against the appellant for personal injury, involving the loss of an eye. After the trial, the defend = ant moved for Q new trial on the ground of newly discovered evidence that Davidovitch had been blind of one eye before the accident in which he claimed to hae been injured. The lower court, inquiring into this evil dence did not find it sufficiently convincing and denied the motion The judgment of the lower court was affirmed.

"Rroadway Love" at the Hip

The failure of some exhibitor to read his shipping instructions sent the Lone Wolf back to Los Angeles too late to reach the Hip yesterday and a substitute program replaced it, "The Lone Wolf coming back for a later date.
 Today sees Dorothy Phillips, of Hell Morgan's Girl'' fame in a story that is expected to find instant favor. Broad way Love- is it's title and it deals with the fast life lived by the girls who come yearly to dance and delight the eye of the jaded theatergoer in the mesh of vice and wickedness of Great CT New York.
 Broadway Love" tells of one girl who could not be bought by the ones who haunt the stage doors of the big metropolitan theaters and the telling of this yarn is said to surpass any thing of like theme.
 Besides Dorothy Phillips. in the cast there is seen Juanita Hanson, former Fox star, Lon Chaney, one of the screens greatest character actors, and William Stowell whom many will re- call for his part in Hell Morgan s Girl and The Overcoat.

lavatories, laundry trays, flush tanks, sinks and other plumbing equipment to fill three big freight car. And each in- voice bore the notation Tn transit"
 All of which means that barring freight wrecks or some other unforeseen mishap, there will arrive in this city within day or two the greatest single shipment of supplies of this kind in the history of Phoenix. And this means, further that Hageman has tied up so much capital in this gigantic shipment, he will be compelled to turn his stock quickly and at a close margin.
 For sometime before Hageman con- cluded to make the trip to the coast he observed that there was little building going on: that is not what he would consider a normal amount in normal times. He determined that the cause was the exceedingly high price de- manded for supplies. At the same time he learned of a like lethargy in the coast cities but found it was from over supply and not from the same causes that obtained here.
 Slipping on his business suit, his check and mileage books in an inside pocket, Hageman went to bed aboard a sleeper and stepped off the train in Los Angeles on the next morning. Be- fore he returned he had visited every city and town worth while between San Diego and San Francisco. He talked bathtubs and plumbing supplies | for hours at a time. He located stored | stocks in the most out of the way places. And he talked cash until the | jobbers began to sit up and take notice And then the coast dealers began quot ing him prices; prices so far below any he had been able to obtain for many months that he hardly believed it. But | he kept his counsel and soon new an6 lower prices were quoted.
 Hageman began to buy He bought until he felt sure he had enough stocl purchased to insure new bathtub ol lavatory. or flush tank in every homo in Phoenix and then some.
 Now Hageman is back in Phoeni1 with broad smile. He calls up tn, railroad freight depot twenty times day to inquire if his three carlots hay. arrived. And he is making preparation
 for the biggest, quickest drive ever in
 augurated in that line. Hageman vii let the people of Phoenix know whel
 the goods arrive and he will quot
 prices that will startle the oldest in
 habitant. At least that is what he say
 and it's probably true for Hageman'

LAW SUSTAINED BY
 H|GH COURT I

That picketing is permissible in this state was the opinion of the supreme court yesterday in the case of William Truax ct al appellants, against Bisbee Local No. 3S0. Cooks and Walters Union, Jack Barnett ct al, appellees, from Cochise county The opinion, at great length reviews the controversy between TruaX and the union and be- fore touching upon the law of this state which expressly permits peaceful picketing, holds that no right of the appellants had been violated by the union.
 The trouble grew out of change in the wages and hours of the restaurant owned by TruaX. When this change was announced several of the employees of the restaurant quit work and organ ized a picketing campaign which amounted to a boycott. Banners set ting forth certain information regard ing TruaX and the restaurant were carried along the street in front of the place. William TruaX, in his testimony in the lower court said that he had witnessed no disorder.
 The court found a difference between interference with the conduct of a place, such as inducing persons en- ployed there to quit work or to prevent persons from seeking employment, and trying to induce members of the union and others from patronizing the place. AS to the matter of patronage, the court found that TruaX had no vested right in the patronage of the public Says the opinion: By the express terms of paragraph 1464, revised stat utes, the courts are prohibited from is- suing restraining orders or injunctions, the issuance of which would prohibit any person or persons from attending at or near house or place where any l person resides or works or carries on business, or happens to be for the pur- 1 pose of peacefully obtaining or com- munlcating information, or of peaceful | " persuading any person to work or abstain from working; or from ceasing to patronize or employ any party to such dispute; or from recommending, advising or persuading others by peaceful means to do so.'"
 The Judgment of Judge Lockwood of Cochlse county. denying Truax's appli- cation for an injunction was affirmed.
 This is not the first Truax tilt with | organized labor About the time of the outbreak of his trouble with the union he was arrested on the charge of yio- latlng the newly enacted eighty per cent law. He fought that case through the courts to the United States su- preme court which held that law which had been passed by the people to be unconstitutional.
 One of the banners with which the sidewalk in front of his place was adorned by the picketers referred to his successful assault upon this. the most favorable of the labor laws ol which at that time there was a large number.

DouqIas Fairbanks at Lamara

 The story is simply brimful of Fair banksl1y'' situations which are ad- mirably handled. The title is some what indicative of the nature of the story, for it deals with young Amer ican whose dreams of greatness almost obscured his taking advantage of the opportunities at his, immediate dis posal. As clerk in a factory he neg Iects his duties while his thoughts roam through the world of fancy and he sees himself "hobnobbing" with the crowned heads, himself occupying a throne in a European country.

Fair and Warmer"
 Fair and Warmer" that brilliant and super successful farce by Avery Eopwood, which was made famous over the whole country within a week of it's New York opening, will be pre- scented by Selwyn and company at the Elks theater on Thursday.
 During the year of it's run at the Eltinge theater in New York, as well as the eight months it stayed in Chi cago, Fair and Warmer" played to capacity houses. Inevitably in such a continuous large attendance there were many visitors from outside those two cities. And from these grateful and delighted visitors, Fair and Warmer 7 received the country-w wide advertising which made it's local appearance the special treat of the season.
 Avery Hopwood's reputation was made by Seven Days" and enhanced by "Nobody's Widow Fair and Warmer" lifted it wholly beyond the reach of competition.
 Selwyn and company will present this classic of farces here with an ex- cellent cast of farceurs.

THREE CARLOADS COMING ID CITY

George Hageman never does things by halves. For instance he is in sym pathy with the government in its de- termination that railroad cars shall not be sent forward partly loaded. So in- stead of buying a few odds and ends to keep up his stock of bath-tubs and plumbing supplies, he buys by the car lot real, full and running over carlots. Sometimes his carlot runs over to such an extent that he has to buy little more in order to fill the second car and so on.
 Hageman returned from the coast a day or two ago. Crammed in his pock- cts were invoices for enough bathtubs,

 reasoning, quite his own, he plans to not only get out >of the machine all there is in it, but whole lot more.
 In the yards of every railroad of number of years standing there are al- ways locomotives that have been rele- gated to the scrap heap. In other days locomotive of this type was "Junked' and use made of such parts as the master mechanic could utilize in repair work. Now comes Superintend- ent Scott with an idea that such loco- motives can, in part at least, still be made to serve useful purpose.
 When the new Decapod arrives, the mechanics at the big shops of the Arizona Eastern will run the big en- zine into the. shops. The wheels of the tender will be removed and in their place will be installed the motive part of one of the abandoned loco- motives that are now in the local yards. | Connections will be established be- l tween the drives of the old locomotive in their new place under the tender 1 of the Decapod. A separate throttle will be installed in the cab of the new engine.
 Out on the road, even a big engine is sometimes called upon for a long pull ana d nara one. And this IS Just where the motive power of the old locomotive will come in handy in the operation of the newer machine. A hand upon the additional throttle will send a pres sure of live steam from the big en- zine to the motive power of the drive wheels under the tender and thirty 1 per cent increase in power will there i by be attained. At least that is wlla, Superintendent Scott says and believes It is altogether likely that this will be true for Mir. Scott is not a man of rash statements or beliefs.
 While the coming of the big Decapoo locomotive is the real event of the im- mediate future at the Arizona Eastern headquarters here, this is not the only advance that is being made these days in the equipment of the railroad locally For instance little electric trucks arg on the way here to be installed in the freight houses and in the shops. These little trucks viii expedite the handling 1 of freight about the freight houses and to and from the cars and the freight houses.

BROUGHER DIVIDE

The work of installing the elec-
trio power is still in progress at the
Brougher Divide, and it is expected
that within the very near future all
connections will be made and the
electric power turned on.
The southeast drift was extended
a further distance of % feet during
the week, giving it total length
of 287 feet. The management re-
ports a widening of the quartz and
an improvement in values as the
drift was carried ahead. The south
west drift is out a distance of 129
feet with conditions remaining
about the same as previously report
ed. On the whole, most satisfac-
tory condition prevails throughout
the mine and as soon as the electric
power is put in use an intensive
plan of development will immediate
ly follow.

is two feet in width. Lenses in this
vein in the early days carried high
grade ore. Plans are being prepar-
ed to drift west on this vein. Pre-
paratory to this work the ground
is being caught up. 1t will be COM
pleted by the time timbers arrive.
Stopping is in progress in the old

ner, consulting engineer and vice
president of the East Divide, and
work on the line will be started i'm
mediately. Erection of the poles
and stringing of the wires will be
but a small task and it is estimated
that within the coming weex
the East Divide will be operating
with electric power
Enough work has not yet been
done in the district to determine
whether the shaft is being sunk in
the main vein, which runs through
the Tonopah Divide property, or in
a parallel vein. In the last two
feet of work a mineralized stain
has appeared in the shaft, the sig
nificance of which will be deter
mined by further work.
