STOLEN GOODS
 FOUND ON MAN

When Robert Woods, who at first said his name was Wilson, stepped into a jewelry store in Mesa yesterday afternoon and attempted to dispose of valuable lavaliere at a ridiculously low figure, he virtually stamped him. self as attempting to dispose of stolen property It wasn't but a few minutes later that he had been taken in charge by Deputy Sheriff Pickens, who after locking him up, hurried to Phoenix, hoping to be able to identify the var ious articles found in his possession.
 The trip of Deputy Pickens to this city bore good results. In consultation with Plainclothesman John J. McGrath of the Phoenix police force, Deputy Pickens discovered that the jewelry re- covered from Woods had been stolen from at least three different homes here. It was positively determined that the lavaliere was the property of Mrs. John H. Page sol North First avenue. The home of Mrs. Page had been burglarized on March Is, and the lavaliere, valued at $50 had been stolen together with several other articles of lesser value.
 A wrist watch, a stick pin and some other jewelry found on Woods was identified as having been stolen from the home of Jack Harter, S36 North Sixth avenue on March 30. Some articles stolen from the home of Mrs A. G. Cate, East Mcdowell road, were also found in the goods recovered
 Satisfied that Woods was a much
 wanted man, Officers McGrath and 1 Grove accompanied Deputy Pickens back to Mesa and brought Woods tc | Phoenix last evening and lodged hin
 in the county jail. Woods carried ar
 I. W. W. card and a hypodermic out 1 fit. The officers say he is victim oi 1 the drug habit.

 perpleXed yesterday when his men per
 sisted in turning their heads around
 to get glimpse of some object of in
 terest in the rear of the company front.
 After repeated commands of front" had been given and the boys still per
 sisted in looking ito the rear Captain
 Moore shaded his eyes and attempted to discover the cause of the excitement. On closer observation he perceived that
 very pretty specimen of the so-called weaker sex was traversing the drill grounds. At this bright prospect Cap tain Moore repeated his commands of front with so fierce a tone that the men were compelled to mend their ways and gaze with rapt attention | straight ahead at blank but imposing tin barn.
 The worst part of this tale is that the Captain faces the opposite direction l from the men and in this case was able
 to get perfect view of the object of i interest

PUSHES DRAFT APPEAL.
Hannis Taylor Asks Supreme Court to
Hear Arguments in Cox Case.

WASHINGTON. March 2i.-IIannis
TAYLOR, as counsel for Robert Cox, a
soldier drafted by the government last
June, moved YESTERDAY that the case
be advanced for argument III the SUI
preme court. The ease is entitled ''Cox
vs.. Maor Cen Leonard Wood, - and
tae purpose of the motion is to settle
the question whether Cox may he
drafted for military service beyond the
boundaries of the country. This ques-
tion was not involved in the previous
draft eases.
Cox has declared his willingness to
serve as a soldier within the bounda-
ries of the United States. He asked
Judge Pollock Of the United States
district court for the western district
of Missouri for a writ of habeas corpus.
This the court denied, and an appeal
from the decision was taken to the
supreme court.
The motion made yesterday was
forced bv the fact that the attorney
general had given notice of motion
on his part to dismiss or affirm the
Cox case on the ground that the su-
prcme court had prejudged and fore
closed in advance of hearing. The
constitutional question presented a mo
ton, Mr. Taylor declared, which ''in
volved not only the lives and liberties
of half a million of American citizens
but the very life of the constitution
itself. - This constitutional question
he asserted had not been involved il
the other eases in any form. The cas-
was the most important, said Mr.. Tay
