.DETECT|VESA ARE JUSTIFIED SAYS . ATTORNEY LANEY

When the bills of the four detectives engaged in suppressing bootlegslng III Maricopa county for the past two months is presented to the board of supervisors for approval-the county attorneys office will make showing which will convince the board that II has not been drain on the taxpayers to employ the Thiel operators.
 The bootlegger has not only paid the cost of securing evidence and conVlc- tion but is now building the county roads. There has not been one acqult- tai in the number of cases tried and more than half the number have plead ed guilty without going to trial,
 From fines and forfeiture of bonds $7,350 has been turned into the general fund of the county treasury and there are still cases that have not yet been disposed of including among others the gaming cases and the technical charges against the Chinamen who are alleged to have violated the liquor law through tho sale of lemon extract.
 While it is impossible to learn the cost to the county in the employment of detectives it is understood that 1t will not amount to anything like the sum relzade by fines. It is understood
 
 $S.OC0 but that new cases developed and that the Thiel men Eemained over the time stated in the contract. But that could not be verified yesterday the board of supervisors not being in session.
 County Attorney Laney. while admit ting that he must look to the local of ficers for the wholesale bootlegger, stated that it was only through the use of outside men that the hip pocket bootlegger could be caught. He stated that he realized that watchful bootleg ger knew the county officers and that it was absolutely necessary to bring in unknown people to catch the men en- gagged in a small way in the liquar traffic.
 Besides the small bootlegger the Thiel men effected the arrest of the druggists, the slot machine men, Mike Green, E. J. Doyle and D. II. McClin- tocl charged with gaming and the Chinamen charged with disposing of lemon extract for use as a leverage. The slot machine cases were dropped except in the case of the owner of the machines, Lon Hoeye, who was fined in the sum of $200. Mike Green has been convicted of gaming and a motion for a new trial is to be made in his case on Monday when final disposition will be made in the case of McClintock and Doyle.
 The Chinamen have not yet been ar raigned but since the sale of lemon ex- tract is not prohibited by the statutes it is believed they will fight the case.
 MT. Ianey stated that grocers need not hesitate to sell bottle of flavoring extract to housewives, restaurants, and hotels as long as it is not sold as a beverage. In the case of the men ar rested on the charge, he says that the officers have traced several insanity cases to the use of extracts and medi- cines that have been sold in large quantities.
 "The statutes provide that such preparations as flavoring extracts and perfumes that do not contain more al- cohol than is necessary for legitimate purpose for extraction, solution and : which are sold for lawful purposes and not as beverages are not prohibited [ said the county attorney. Last evening a conference was held between the local druggists and Mir ] Laney for the purpose of formulating : a list of drugs, extracts and perfumes that could not be legally sold. The list is blank with the names of drugs . which can be used as a beverage fol producing intoxication. An investiga- ton with government men will be ; made before the list is given out.
