School Renewed.

St Henry's parochial school shut
down school for two weeks, but finding
that some heat was required to keep
things from freezing, the school was
opened up for work in the morning.
The intensive plan of study is being
followed in that the pupils recite in
the morning at school and study at
home in the afternoon. In this way
progress in studies can be made and
saving in coal effected at the same
time. The regular school hours will be
resumed as soon as the weather per-
mits.

 Praise for Results In Recruiting for War Work

w. H. Day, interstate secretary Of the Y M. C. A., in a statement to J. o. SeXson, of the local Y. NJ. c. A, said that Phoenix has done more toward sending men out on "" war work than any other town in the southwest.
 The Phoenix Y. M. C. A. has just sent four more men to the great Y. M. c. A. war school at San Antonio, where is situated the largest cantonment in the United States for the training of men for the United States army. This makes II men in all sent by the local 'Y" to the war camp at San Antonio for intensive training preliminary to crossing over to France. The four men who have recently been sent to San Antonio are, Ulysses c. Wye and L. c. Hayes, of Phoenix; and Professor Mo- Kee and Rev. MT. Farris, of Glendale.
 At the Y. M. C. A. war school the men will be given four weeks of in- tenSive training. This work, which has been going on for long time, has been standardized, and the experience may be acquired fully within the short space of the four weeks training in the heart of the great cantonment at San Antonio. Every night the men are taken to the various Y. NJ. C. A. huts and made acquainted with the work. under the instruction of the secretaries of the huts.
 The requirement for entrance to the ''Y'' war school as to the age of the applicant is that he must be within the ages of from 31 to 50. For further information or application it is advis- able to interview J. o. Sexson at the Phoenix Y. M. c. A. building.

COURT HOUSE WELL
 WILL bE EXAMINED

Authorizing s. c. Ayers of the coun- ty engineers office to investigate the amount of water that might be pro- cured from the artesian we'll that has again risen to and beyond the surface Of the main entrance leading to the court house, the board of supervisors mean to utilize the water if there is sufficient flow for irrigation purposes of tie court house gardens.
 More than a quarter of a century ago, Joe Drew bored a we'll in this spor for artesian water. it is understood that he bored some 500 feet or more but did not obtain flowing water. The water level raised by drilling but there was not sufficient overflow and the machinery used was not equal to drill ing through the gravel and boulder.
 These and other facts County Treas urer Sam F. Webb recalled yesterday as he spoke of Drew's faith in the ar tesian water which many believe has been found. Webb stated that on the Billy Hedgpeth ranch today was to be found the machinery used by Drew in the good old days.
 The cement walk over the we'll has fallen several inches and recently a pipe was connected with the under ground workings and the west gardes was irrigated by this means. A leak l in this pipe caused the new flow ot water and resulted in the boards order to the acting county engineer

MESA RANCH HAND
 ATTEMPTS SUICIDE

MESA, June 11.-Henry Gray a mid dle aged man employed on the R. H. Brown ranch attempted suicide at 3 o'clock yesterday morning by drinking muriatic acid. He took all that re- mained of small bottle of the acid, which had been kept at the ranch for soldering purposes. but it was not in sufficient quantity to cause death be- fore antidotes were administered.
 The Respondent man probably con- sidered that the acid would kill him instantly for he piled his bedding on some hay and set fire to the latter. However when the fire grew too hot he changed his mind and got out of the way. MT. Brown, A. l.. CWnmins and others aroused by the fire, put out the flames, and learning that the man had taken the acid hunted for an anti dote. when Gray suggested soap. After drinking quantity of suds and vomit- ing freely he was removed to town. Neighbors who say that the man has been hard working laborer.

CRUEL CORRECTION
 |S AIRED IN COURT

Correcting her six-year-old niece Otlla Monreal, by burning her hand with a hot stove litter, Clotilda Man 20, was called before the juvenile court yesterday to testify. No complaint was filed against the Manzo girl, who appeared only as a witness in the case which had to do with what disposition should be made of the girl.
 l.. A. Monreal. father of the child, came down from Prescott for the hear ing and will take little Otilla back with him. His sister-in- law will ac- company them and make her home with the family. Judge Stanford stated that he would turn the matter over to the probation officer of Yavapai county.
 The child's hand was bandaged and when the gauge was removed deep burns showed on her tiny hand. Her shrieks when the burning act was com mitted reused the neighbors who pro- tested to the local authorities. They were American women who appeared and in turn each told of the severe punishment administered the niece by her young aunt. They also testified that the Mango girl was industrious and had never been guilty of miscon- duct of any character before this &C., cording to their knowledge.
 Clotilda frankly stated to the court her side of the case. She said her small relative was manageable and she had attempted time and again to break her of taking small change from her purse On this occasion she had again tried to correct her and assured the court that she did not believe the stove litter was hot when she placed it against the tender flesh of her sis- ters child.

I SHAKE-UP |S COMING FROM
 NATION CAPITAL
Arizona As Whole Has Done
 Splendidly But Califor- nia and New Mexico Are
 Short In Classification

A big draft shake-up now is in pro- gress in Maricopa county and the state under sttict orders received from Provost Marshal General Crowder and transmitted to the various local and district boards by Colonel Charles w. Harris, adjutant general.
 The reason for this shake-up is be- cause General Crowder wants to know the reason why such a small number of registrants have been placed in Class 1 in some localities. The aver age for the whole country of regis trants in Class is 2S.7 per cent, while some local boards in the country have fallen as low as 10 per cent. It was announced that through strict re- classification more than 100000 men will be brought into Class l from low CT classes.
 While Arizona as a whole has done splendidly, has sent more men to join the colors in proportion to her Ameri- can population than any other state in the union, yet there are a few locali- ties where the percentage in Class 1 is far too low, and these local boards have been given the strictest orders lO u1luU lH6 lOOSp MOTh that IS IIldHl- fest and to comply strictly with the instructions for classifying registrants.
 Repeating the assertion that the paramount necessity of the nation is the raising of an army, the adjutant general, following instructions from Washington, states that there will be no further extension Of exemptions to specialized classes of labor, agricul- fTrr h icn ll 1Nr bad been given.
 Instructions to local and district boards are to determine whether any men have been enormously placed in the upper classes when they should have been placed in those further down. examination WA Se directed particularly at those who have tried to enter the navy to evade the draft ''sticker' shipyard workers and men 1 in other classes who have been granted special privileges because they claimed they were engaged in necessary war work
 Following are the states in which some counties fell below even a 10 pei cent classification in Class l: Califor- nia- New Mexico, Iowa. Ohio, Ken lucky, North Carolina, Missouri, New York and Massachusetts.
 | Arizona is not in this class, but il will be noticed that her neighbors or either side are.
 The man who was married after the passage of the draft act is to have his case considered and the circumstances carefully investigated. Also married men whose wives have substantial in. comes are to be investigated and prob ably placed in Class 1.
 Local and district boards have beer instructed to set aside a special weel in this month to be known as "Clas:
 1 week." when examinations of doubt full cases will be held.

Guy P. Wadsworth Escapes
 from Road Camp With the
 Fleetness of His Pets, Spurred On By the Heat

Emulating the speed of the little rab- bits which he brought to Arizona in a cage in which was a secret compart- ment containing dozens of pints of whisky, Guy P Wadsworth has escaped from the bootleggers road camp on the Black Canyon road.
 Wadsworth escaped on June 4 and, according to Charlie Slankard, foreman of the convict camp. is now surrounded at Rumble Bee without a chance of making a second getaway. William Williams, who left with the rabbit cage bootlegger, has been captured and re- turned to camp.
 The men escaped at midnight Will Hams had already served all but two days of his six months sentence and it is understood was to have been given credit for good behavior and not com pelled to serve his fine in days. He has been put back to work on the roads and the good marks credited him can- celled. Williams was arrested in Phoe- nix less than two hours after his ar rival in the city. It appeared that his sole object in coming here was 70 engage in the liquor traffic While in the county jail awaiting trial he made life hideous for the other prisoners by his frequent loud cries of 'i'elp." It is alleged that he was attempting to pass as insane but failed to make good the insanity dodge on the county officers.
 Wadsworth was arrested as he stepped off the train at Glendale with rabbit cage in either hand. He re- sisted Constable Marks, the arrestine officer and in the scuffIe that followed landed several blows on the officer. He might have escaped arrest had not passers-by taken a hand in the street fight A warrant for Wadsworth has been issued in Yavapai county it is said where he is wanted on a felony charge. He is alleged to have evaded authorities of that county at one time by jumping from the train when it was going at rate of 30 miles an hour.
