CONTROVERSY BOTH
 SETTLED AND. STILL
 REMAINS UNSETTLED

The controversy between Mrs. Della Wood colored. and Mrs. J. l.. Thomas, also colored, was more or less amicably settled yesterday so far as the court of Justice Wheeler is concerned, but it subsequently broke out in another place.
 Mrs. Wood procured the arrest of Mrs. Thomas on a charge of a dis turbance of the peace. When the de- fendant was brought into court the first time she stated what her defense would be; that she had paid the fare of the complaining witness to Phoenix h thout suspecting that she would ever become such a thorn in the flesh. After that she paid a doctors bill for her. And she had disturbed the peace of Mrs. Wood by asking for reimburse ment.
 In court yesterday Mrs. Thomas made known a characteristic of the people of her race. She said she would deal squarely with white people, but when they incurred indebtedness among people of their own color they felt that the transaction was done and the incident was closed.
 Mrs. Wood admitted the kindly of- fees Mrs. Thomas had performed for her and said that she had always in- tended to pay her back if sometime she could catch her acting like a lady. Justice Wheeler asked her if she had the money to pay now. She replied that she had. The court then ordered the case dismissed and suggested that the parties get together in friendly way and remove the cause of the diff ficulty by a monetary settlement. They went away and the justice ad- vised Constable Haze Burch to follow and encourage Mrs. Wood to discharge the indebtedness. The constable re-
 ported later that he had seen the money paid to Mrs. Thomas, but ne said it had been accomplished without a great show of enthusiasm and that all manifestions of affection between the two women had been restrained. Mrs. Wood efterward filed a damage suit against Mrs. Thomas, to whom she gave the alias of "POky Hunter, or Pocohontas, who she said had de- | famed her in the presence of her kus | band by remarks concerning her lack l of chastity, all of which would have been very serious if her husband was given to believing all he heard. For | this freedom of tongue on the part of Mrs. Thomas, Mrs. Wood asks 5000

 CAPITOL PEOPLE
Shell Shock Has Nothing
 On Demon Fear Which Is Boss for More Than Day
 In State Commission

Nerves were at an abnormal tension in the office of the commission of state institutions all day Thursday and on Friday forenoon. This department is housed in the recently built bungalow on the west side of the capitol grounds and is probably the largest of the state departments.
 Besides the numerous men employed in this department there are fully a dozen young women who are daily en- gagged at desks in the large room. It was among these young women that nerves were most discernible yester- day. If the men were at all apprehen- sivc they managed to conceal their anxiety.
 Everybody was lon edge" The slam of door, the rattle of a waste basket or drop of a book were causes for more frequent and anxious peering about the floor, in corners and under chairs and more careful gathering or skirts about ankles.
 But, as the hours wore on. with only an increasing nervousness as a result, work became almost an impOssibility. And it was not until shortly after noon yesterday that relief came and the cute little Gila monster that had been a,
 
 than twenty four hours was recaptured. This animal, peculiar to Arizona, had been bzrought in from the desert the day before as a present to a visitor who, a short time previously, had stated while visiting Governor Hunt that he would like a Gila monster to take back east with him.
 Hearing the request, friend deter mined that the visitor should have the Gila monster and soon sent one in to the state house..
 In box with wire screen on the top, the Gila monster was placed in the drafting room in the office of the com mission of state institutions to awaI, further disposition. That was on Wednesday night.
 On Thursday morning it was discov- cred that the C.. NJ. had deserted the box. having forced up the screen wire on one side. The six or seven rooms of the commission of state institutions are al lopen to each other, and the c. NJ. had the freedom of all
 Encouraged by the cheerful knoWl- edge that a Gila monster was loose somewhere in the rooms, the dozen girls and the other attaches of that depart ment resumed their ordinary occupa- tions on Thursday and yesterday = that is, as nearly as it was possible.
 The nervous strain, which was men, tioned before, was not relieved unti shortly afternoon yesterday, when ar outcry from one of the girls, varously described later as a scream, yell and

Osburn, chairman of the board of governors, gave a talk on the organization of the Brotherhood Lunch club. He also announced the person. l nel of sev&al committees.
 The big address of the evening, how ever. was delivered by Archdeacon | Webber of Boston who returned from Japan but two months ago. His ad- dress concerned present conditions in l the far east, particularly India. The archdeacon is visiting the various sol diers cantonments and camps in the country and announced that today he expected to go to Granite Reef and
 give an address to the soldiers sta
 toned there. He later will go to Roose-
 welt Dam and talk to the soldiere at

While being booked at the county Jail yesterday, w. Starr, alias Thomp- son, wanted in Los Angeles, and who had just been arrested at Korrick's on a charge of attempting to pass a fic- titious check, darted out of the door of the jailer's office and ran for sev- eral blocks, when he was captured by deputy sheriffs and returned to the county jail.

 As though with perfect drill, twelve desk tops were immediately populated with twelve excited young women clamoring for all the assistance in the neighborhood. Arthur Keen, custodian of the state house and grounds, who happened to be on the spot, arose to the occasion. lnverting a waste baske, over the Gila monster, which had emerged from beneath the desk, he weighted it down with several books. Later, the G. NJ. was replaced in the original box.
 While dancing around on top of a desk during the height of the excite ment, one of the young women sud- denly found that her hair had become etnangled in a ceiling fan, causing more excitement.
