TEXAS YOUTH GOES
 NOT QUICK ENOUGH.

James Gavin is a young man from Texas and rarin' to go, but he did not go soon enough to meet the notions of John Doe Slim. All this came out in the trial yesterday in Justice Wheeler's court, or the intended trial of the said John Doe Slim, but after the case had proceeded for a time it was discovered that the defendant was somewhere en route east with a load of cantaloups.
 Gavin swore out a warrant for the arrest of John Doe Slim. charging him with assault and battery upon him at q cantaloup loading station near Six Points a few days ago. John Doe" Houseman, the manager of the station, came in and it was the general impress sion that he was the person named in the warrant. The case went on and it was brought out that Gavin came to the station with 50 crates of cantaloups. He announced he had 56 and he stuck to it after the crates had been taken off the platform. Another count en- sued, in which he took part and still there were only 50. He was supposed to be satisfied until another wagon was driven up. when Gavin told the driver to look out or they would cheat

RULING MADE 0N SOLDIERS
 VOTING LAW
County Attorney Holds Men
 May be Given Ballots When it is Impossible to Mail them to Camps

Every now and then something de- Neiops in connection with the sol diers voting law that discloses imper- fections, hiatuses and unprovided for contingencies in it. It provides among other thing that 40 days before a pri- mary or general election ballots shall be sent from offices of boards of SUD- erVisors to soldiers, from the respective counties to the various cantonments where they shall be marked by the sol diers and with an affidavit signed by a commanding officer, the blank form accompanying the ballot, shall be re- turned to the county whence sent.
 It did not occur to the law makers that soldiers would be going forward regardless of the dates mentioned in the law when certain things should be done; 1t did not occur to them that there could be anything more import ant than the election in Arizona; they appeared to believe that all movements in the war, even German offensives, would be so timed as to conform to the Arizona soldiers voting law,
 But it has since been ascertained that some of the boys who are not al ready in their cantonments will not be there at the time the ballots are sent though they will be there; that is, at some cantonment, in time to mark a ballot and send it back to the board of supervisors before the primary. The question then arose whether it would not be proper to let these departing soldiers take the ballots and other paraphernalia with them and mark the ballot after their arrival.
 County Attorney Laney was asked whether that could be done. He has prepared an opinion for the board of supervisors in which he believes that that may be done. Though the law says that the ballot and other papers must be sent by mail the county attorney had in mind that though service in a lawsuit may be sent by mail it is equally effective if it is made in per son. There is also a clause in the soldiers voting law which suggests the waiving of informalities less than ir- regularities, the main idea being to give every soldier a vote who is en- titled 10 a vote.
 There will still be another class of voters going out; Or at any rate there is likely to be, those who will leave here before the primary but not long enough to have arrived at a canton ment and mail back their ballots so that they will reach the board of sup ervisors not later than the night of the election, after which no ballots from soldiers can be counted.
 It has been suggested that in such cases the votes of the soldiers might be taken before their departure. But there is nothing in the law permitting that and that question is not touched upon in the opinion of the county at 'Orney.

WorId.old Nice Story Told

During 1917 Rev. Paul Smith of San Francisco led a campaign against the underworld Vrofiteers. of northern California who had largely controlled politics since '49 The world famous Barbary coast was closed, about 300 vicious resorts in several cities were abolished, corrupt political machine was crippled and public sentiment rev. olutionized. Meantime San Francisco bod become contonment city and to protect the health and morale of the new army, the federal government through the commission on training camp activities took up the campaign of suppression. This necessary pro- gram has been followed in every can- tonment city producing the cleanest army of young men in the worlds his tory.
 The picture. The Finger of Justice" showing at the Columbia for the last time today, was produced under the personal supervision of Rev. Paul smith. to inform voters concerning the political power of the merchants of vice. It now becames the center of nation wide propaganda. Wherever men have built great cities these vul- lures have swarmed to prey upon the weak Throughout the ages cities have had their secret streets of shame where youth came and was polluted. In Rome it was the Lunpanar. in San Francisco it was the Bapbary coast. and The Finger of Justice" has to do with the events that led to the down. fall of this notorious region, told with gripping force.

TICKET OFFICE 'SN|CKASNEE |S
 POISED IN AIR
Local Railway Ticket Sales
 Officials Not Informed
 About Closing Though September 1 is the Date

Having been notified by the director general of railroads, William G. Me Adoo, that~jt is the intention of the new railroad administration to consol- idate city ticket offices in cities of 100000 and more and to abolish city ticket offices in towns under that pop ulation. passenger and ticket officials in Phoenix are wondering when that order will be placed in effect.
 Already in some of the larger cities, arrangements have been made to coll |solldate the many city ticket offices into one single ticket office similar to Ia union station ticket office. Septem- Der 1 is the date set for the change in these cities. In some instances, F and 15 city ticket offices are to be closed and a single office take their place on September l.
 No orders have yet been received in Phoenix to make any change in the number of city ticket offices nor in the manner of conducting the business said a city ticket office official yester- day. Tt is what we have been wait ing for" he added, but nothing has come yet
 According to the announcement of the director general of railroads, it is to be the plan in cities nd towns of less than 100000 population to abohsh the city ticket offices and conduct that business at the railroad station The impression was given that it would be the policy of the railroad administra- ton also to- consolidate railroad sta tions wherever possible. t
 The present accommodations at both the Arizona Eastern and Santa Fe pas senger stations are hardly sufficient to care for the additional business that would be taken to either or both of those stations in case the uptown ticket offices at opposite corners of Central and Adams are closed. Many people familiar with the situation be- lieve that in the present emergency. Phoenix stands an excellent chance of securing an adequate union station.

 OVER FUR HEARING

On charge of violating the espion- age act, Dona Fierro, a Mexican, was bound over in the sum of $1,509 after hearing before the United States commissioner yesterday. Failing to give the bond, F'ierro was committed to jail.
 On May 27, when a detachment of Arizona draftees, among whom were number of his fellow countrymen, left Phoenix for one of the training camps, Fierro, it is charged, made remarks which were considered unpatriotic, and furthermore, menaced with gun one Lopez, who demonstrated with him.
 Fierro, it is stated, said that any of his countrymen who went to war with the American army were fools and en- cmies of Mexico, and that he would kill anyone who attempted to induct him into the United States army.

 It was also at this point that John Doe Slim appeared on the scene. picked the young man up by the collar and let him fall gently to the ground. In falling he struck a stone, he said, which reminded him that it could be used as a weapon.

THE DUTCH ARE GETTING UNEASY

Many influential and conservative Hol- flanders, even those with pro-German lean ings, view with anxiety the continued stay of one William Hohenzollern within their dominions. A Dutch official of high rank expresses himself frankly on the subject, as follows:
 Much as 1 regret that it was Dutch nobleman who offered the fallen Hohen- zollern his castle as a refuge, am not sur prised. Part of our nobility has always felt more in common with Prussian Junkers than with our thoroughly democratic peo- pie. Early in the war the press published the name of Dutch junkers who were fighting as officers in the very German army which would have overrun Holland as it did Belgium if it had suited the pur- pose of the ex-kaiser and his accomplices.
 The presence of the ex-kaiser in Hol- land Is an eyesore to the overwhelming mass of our people, who from the begin ming to the end of the war remained whole heartily in sympathy with the allies. Our people will not forget that the very man who fled for safety to our country, and IS today sharing our scanty food supplies, not only ordered his hordes to slaughter our Belgian neighbors, but also sent hundreds of our sailors and fishermen to death through the destruction of large part of our mercantile fleet by the pirates of his navy.
 An editor writing in an influential jour nal of Holland, says:
 ''I do not consider it safe to leave the ex- kaiser in Holland, whether interned or not. It may be. and, l sincerely hope that de- mand will be made for his extradition. Since the governments of victorious na- tions have decided that all those Germans of whatever rank who are responsible for the dire atrocities committed during the war on land, at sea, and from the air shall be brought to justice the ex-kaiser can not possibly escape that fate. This can only happen after the lapse of many months.

BOOZE BY AEROPLANE
(New York Tribune.)

Deep are the difficulties of the destroyers of the demon Booze, booze in quantities, is finding its way by aeroplane into the sternly sovereign state of Florida-booze by the way of New Orleans booze from Cuba; booze from the four winds of heaven The Florida prohibition bill. which its au- thor describes as the mast drastic anti liquor law ever framed in the history of the world" is being defeated of its pur- pose. Hundreds of aviators fly regularly from half dozen places in Florida to vari- ous points where illicit stills are in opera ton. Flights even as far as Philadelphia have been known.
 As result this law of unparalleled dras' ticity has had to be amended so as to in- clude in its sweeping confication of all ve- hicles or means by which booze is brought into the state all machines travelling through the air Already it has made contraband of automobiles rigged with flag tanks It seems that another way of introducing the demon into Florida (and apparently other dry states) was by motor cars as well, so rigged that the tanks shall carry gasoline in one side and alco- holic atrocities in the other. Then rooms are rented by the hotels at so much per night Sometimes as high as $lO), which includes booze to be found in the bureau drawers.
 All this is a new and unexpected diver sion of the devil With thousand miles of border to the south of us, three thousand to the north of us and aeroplanes flying in every direction the outlook for an abso- ,luteIy air-tight, water-sealed America is not SO bright as it was. The aeroplane is evi- dentIy more of complication than any body had ever dreamed And the sudden ending of the war finds the United States with ten thousand aeroplanes on its hands, part of which it may have to sell off at bargain prices. We hope for the sake of the cause that these may not fall into the hands of the unrighteous to be used for nefarious purposes.
