M 'CANN TRIAL WILL
 START MONDAY FUR
 FOLSTON' $ MURDER

Ivan McCann, member of a pioneer Arizona family, an alleged murderer of Kenneth c. Folston, will face jury in the superior court on the murder charge. That there will be difficulty in securing jury was recognized by the fact that thousands of people are fla miliar with the case because Of the wide and long search that was made for the body of Folston after his mys terious disappearance last November It was not until months afterward that the remains of the Oregon health seeker were found in a mountain wash near McCann springs, in the extreme northeast of Paradise valley.
 The case attracted unusual interest, for the crime, with robbery as the mo- tive, was looked upon as one of the most cold blooded murders ever com mitted in Arizona. It was discussed | by everyone. Business men, ranchers, cattlemen joined the officers in the search for the body, which was finally discovered by John Pemberton, whose brothers Oscar and William, were shot and killed not long afterward It is said that it will take at least day and perhaps longer to secure unbiased jurors. and that the taking of evidence will require a week or more. Judge George H. Crosby. Jr.. of Apache county, will sit in the case.
 It had been announced that Thomas E. Flannigan of Globe would be chief counsel for McCann, but this was de- nied yesterday when it was stated that Hubert Clark, who conducted the preliminary examination would repre- sent the defense in the superior court trial. He has subpoenaed ten wit nesses. it is said. while some 35 or more have been summoned to testify for the state.
 The prosecution Is passing it's case entirely upon circumstantial evidence
 At the preliminary it attempted to
 prove that Folston was last seen al
 Scottsdale with McCann. The date corresponded with that of Folston's
 disappearance and marked the time he drew $500 from local bank. A few days later his absence was re-
 ported to the sheriffs office by hi:
 brother, Ben Folston, and the searcf
 was begun. McCann aided in the search and led the officers to the des-
 ert where the coat and scarf of tn,
 dead man were found A few day.
 later he was arrested. but In view of tn,
 
 . covered, the case was subsequently dis , missed.
 Immediately after the finding of tn | body McCann was again arrested. Afte l he was bound over to the superio | coutr and placed in the county jai McCann was forced to undergo thir } degree methods, which were of no ava ? to the state.
 McCann was driven through tn
 streets at midnight to the county ga rage, where he was forced to confror ) the remains of Folston. placed on crude bench beneath the blaze of : high powered electric light The re r mainder of the garage was in dark e ness. McCann remained utterly un
 moved and, turning to the county at . torney. is alleged to have inquired p anything was wanted of him. 8 Throughout the weeks in jail an - since being released on bail, McCan | has remained calm, cool and collecte, V After furnishing bond he was give e employment by the concern with whiC r he was associated before his arrest.

Traffic Regulations

We are glad to notice that the county authorities are going to be insistent about the lighting of ve- hcles at night and to punish severely those who neg lect such precaution for the public safety This de- termination is the result of an accident in which a badly hurt on account of the failure of a vehicle owner driver to that the tail light of his machine burning
 It usually takes accidents of this kind to keep traffic regulations in force. They are adopted all right and with proper appreciation of the need of them but they kept in force by the violation of them with disastrous results now and then Without accident of sufficient seriousness to illustrate that the consequences of the violation of the regulations may entail fatality the regulations would become dead letters.
 One very important regulation adopted by the city year ago and believe it has never been rescinded prohibits the of bnding headlights on automobiles It insists that the lights shall be of such character that while they shall give sufficient light they cannot be made become blnding that is dinner, does not fill the bill or that the lens may be covered with translucent coating that may be easily washed off, It requires that the precaution ordered shall be of a permanent character
 Though the regulation could be enforced only within the city very naturally it was made to apply everywhere in the vicinity of the city since all automo- piles that driven anywhere near Phoenix at ona time or another driven within the city limits.
 The situation the country roads at night ,s now no better than it at the time the regulation was framed. On of the machines the lights are dimmed within the corporation but many drivers do not take the trouble even to make that annroacb to compliance with the law We would suggest to the police rounding up of the machines at night A machine equipped with too much light is as dangerous as unlighted machine

 INDEPENDENCE DAY

A Fourth of July celebration that long will be remembered at that institution and one which was at tended by a large number of the residents of that part of Graham county and many from Cochise county, was the one held last Thurs day at the state industrial school for boys and girls at Fort Grant, according to Leroy A.

There was consider | able other music also, consisting of solos, quartets and choruses. -Superin- tendent W. A. Moody of the school gave an address of welcome and MT. Ladd delivered the address of the | day.
 | Following luncheon there was a series of athletic contests concluding with a baseball game between the members of the band and the officers of the institution, the former .winning 6 to 0. The whole program of the day ended with a dance in the even ing which was attended by many residents of that locality in addition to the officers and the boys and girls of the school.
 The state school at Fort Grant is taking an active part in war activi- ties, MT. Ladd stated, having recently conducted a campaign for the sale of war savings stampy in which the splendid sum of $1,010.09 was sub- scribed.
 1 Rapid progress is being made ir the numerous improvements at the school said MT. Ladd yesterday "The grounds have been beautifieo according to plans made by Arthur J. Keen, custodian of the state house and grounds. Much leveling Ina, been done and many shade and fruit trees have been set out.

 The opening of muffler cutouts by automobile drivers in the city of Phoenix has become able nuisance and must be stopped. There is a city ordinance covering this offense and suggest that the police department make arrests of all offenders alike. On certain streets of the city it is impossible to sleep of certain drivers that try to show off and make all the noise that they can.
 Numerous kicks have been lodged at the city hall by residents and transents alike on account of the noisy condition of the city Riders of motorcycles are equally guilty with drivers of automobiles. Fully one half of the running streets have cutouts open and why should these people be permitted to maintain nuisance when the rest of the drivers are sane enough to obey the law?
 We make the suggestion that all offenders be ar rested and fined and that strictly enforced
 Cutouts on car do good and are only noisy and dust spreaders Stop the cutouts, the glaring headlights and the reckless driver they are not tol- erated in other cities and why should they here?

 IN W. 3. M 'ARTHUF

Marvin bills. found guilty by jury in division one of the superior court of aggravated assault upon w. B. Me Arthur. was fined s75O by Judge. Stan ford yesterday. bills counsel, Judge A. c. Baker, made a powerful plea for leniency setting forth the defendants eagerness to join the colors. ! While the court has no jurisdiction to give a suspended sentence and send the boy to the army, he intimated that he was prompted to relieve him of the stain of felony by imposing the fine in order that he might go to the front. bills was 21 years old on the | fifth day of July.
 McArthur was 54 years of age when | he died at St. Joseph's hospital two weeks after bills assaulted him. break ing his jaw. McArthur died of pneu- monia and it was a question whether the disease was superinduced by the blow.
 The court room was crowded yes terday morning when bills came up for sentence His father, who has stood staunchly by the lad in his diff faculties, was seated beside him and during the proceedings frequently drew his handkerchief across his eyes. The boy has no mother, besides his father his only near relative is an eight-year- old sister who was not present
 Judge Baker reviewed the incidents that led up to bills striking McArthur when the latter called him down at dance for creating an alleged disturb ance. fingered when called before young women with whom he had been dancing, Dills returned and demand ing an explanation had struck McAr- thur.
 bills was not armed. It was just an ordinary fistical fight not by any means calculated to cause death or even serious bodily injury declared Judge Baker, reminding the court of the hot blood of youth
 T do not care what has been said on the outside, Marvin bills is a good boy and a good son and is entitled to that credit. He is anxious to join the colors and will make an excellent sol- dier.. His value as soldier would be immeasurable to the United States government" said Baker in pleading with the court that he be permitted to serve his country.
 In reply, County Attorney Laney stated that the court knew the facts brought out in the case q still be- lieve this a reprehensible matter all though bills used only his fist" said the county prosecutor, alluding to the serious circumstances in the case "The verdict of the jury was proper and the court knows the facts," he said in conclusion.
 The court then asked bills if he had anything to say and the boy shook his head.
 Punishment must tend to suppress crime" said Judge Stanford who addei that he could not legally suspend sen tence and place the lad in the army He then fined him $75O which was pai6 short time later.
