virginia heeQ, MAX hOSen-
berg's woman recently had
both city and county authorities
after her over in Superior.
The fair Virginia assumes to
conduct a lodging place at '712
Tower avenue. Not so many days
ago, Alex Siveston took lodgings
in the place and gave Madam Reed
$50 of his own money for safe
keeping. >@'
. Then next morning, after Alex
ander had washed his face and
eombed his hair, he asked for his
money. The landlady, so he al
leges, refused to hand him back
his $50 but informed him that he
could have whiskey at Is cents a
drink or beer at 81 a bottle, in
lieu of coin.
The thrifty Alexander was
peeved and reported the matter to
the police. He was instructed to
go back and get some Of Vir-
ginia's wet goods, which he did,
in bottled form.
The woman then was arrested
on a city charge of violating the
liquor ordinance, with the result
that she put up 5000 for bail and
secured release.
County attorney Mckay then
sat up and took notice to the
extent Of having Madam Reed
arrested on two charges, one for
selling liquor in dry territory and
one for grand larceny. Max
Rosenberg remained true to his
lady love and secured her release
on the larceny charge with bail
in the sum Of $500.
When tried, the fair Virginia
got off very easily. She paid a fine
Of 5000 for fitting the liquor lid
and the other charges against her
were dismissed.

When Holmberg appeared in
court on November II, he assumed
sole responsibility for the heavy
sales Of booze at his store. He
paid a fine of $500 on that count
and, on an older charge, withdrew
plea Of not guilty and stood an
other fine Of $500.
About the middle of this month,
Lawrence Mineau, chauffeur for
an Iron River garage, drove into
Itasca with Walter Thomas, R. j.
johnson and A. Miller. The quar-
tet was arrested and the machine
seized, booze being found aboard
the old boat.
When the cases came into court,
Mineau showed that he merely
was taking the men from Iron
River to Duluth and that he had
expected to let the passengers
walk through the dry danger
zone. Unwittingly he got over the
line.
Mineau and Miller were turned
loose. Thomas and johnson stood
a fine of $75 each.
Four roysterers bearing Slavic
names were caught in Itasca.
Nick Stefan agreed to pay a fine
of 5000 if the others were let 60.

 The membership of the church in this country probably embraces comparatively few persons who have come from Germany whose parents even their grandparents from Germany They have traditions of the Germany with which are at war. The Germany they know was not even a fedora tion of German states but region, place in north Europe.

Germany in the East and the West

Perhaps the military authorities may understand it. but to the layman of the nexplcabe things in German military movements is their widely diversified operations. It would appear either that the Germans have abiding confidence in the success of the western offensive, that they never had serious purpose to break through the western front and that at the same time they entertain fear of a disturbance of their plans from that front.
 What their strength may have been at the begin since, is very largely guess work
 We believe that 97 divisions or about 100000 men has been the maximum estimate of the number actually engaged at any time Reports of allied armen have mentioned the constant ap- proaeh of large bodies of which. according to the frequent official reports from French and British headquarters have made their appearance at the front from time to time. and stated rather as an opinion, than fact that the reserves were being rapidly absorbed.
 Whether or not that is so and if it is SO the German offensive has not only reached it's end but has left the Germans in a perlous position the dis patches of Saturday and Sunday night mention the movements of great German forces in Finland We hear of them marching and counter marching through Russia. From this we must conclude that the Ger man military leaders do not regard any situation on the western front nearly vital as that of sinking the claws of Germany deeper and deeper into it's Russian prey. Otherwise these hosts in the east would be in the fill the depleted ranks of the kaiser's forces.

Just think of Charles K Pishon as the manager of really, truly moving picture house. It is a far cry from the state managership of large wholesale dry goods and womens ap- parel house to the position of executive of a screen emporium. But that is what has happened to Pishon and has incidentally given him an opportunity to do little more of his bit for Uncle Sam.
 When James C. Dobbins decided that the public was craving a really good film show and was willing to pay for its entertainment, he saw in this crav- ing a means to the end that necessary funds for carrying on the war savings campaign in Maricopa county would be forthcoming He found in John Barn. cord, proprietor of the Empress theater, willing patriot, man ready to turn over his house to the good of the cause. And so he accepted the proffer of the Empress for three days, Thurs day, Friday and Saturday of this week. He secured a five reel produc- ton, "A Daughter of France" featuring Virginia Pearson, and an added two reel comedy, "A Self Made Lady," And | then he secured the services of Pishon to manage" the house for the three days.
 With this program Dobbins, who is chairman of the county committee l thought everythin~ was in readiness for the "big show" But then he en- countered the problem of disposing of | tickets without end. He issued an ap- 1 peal for help and in response he se- cured the assistance of dozens of young women. school boys and girls and even men and women. AS a re- suit the sale of tickets began with a rush. And the sale will be on until the last minute, the P cents required in exchange for one of the little tickets seemingly being forthcoming whenever one of the girls approached prospec- tive customer.
 As matter of fact, hundreds of good citizens have willingly purchased these tickets in even greater quantity than they could expect to use them, all ir furtherance of the movement to pro-
 duce funds for carrying on the wal savings campaign in Maricopa county

CObb MANDAMUS IS TRACKED BY
 WILEY [. JONES

Another step in the mandamus ac- tion instituted by Lamar Cobb as citi- zen against Attorney General Wiley E. Jones to compel him to oust the commission of state institutions, was taken yesterday when the attorney general filed motion to strike a motion to quash, a plea in abatement a demurrer and a motion to make more definite certain allegations in the amended complaint filed by the plain tiff some two weeks ago.
 The motion to strike is brought on 1 the ground that the amended com plaint sets up new cause for action. 1 The motion to quash is not only on the ground that plaintiff is attempt ing to bring new cause for action. but note is also made that the first pe- tition is wholly inadequate, imperfect 1 and did not state a cause for action and for the further reason that the attorney general claims that Cobb has no interest. his purpose not being to take over the office himself and that he therefore has not the right to bring the action. In the proceeding he is styled plaintiff when he should be named petitioner claims the defendant | who makes additional allegation that Cobb failed to furnish the attorney general with a copy of the proposed quo warranto proceedings.
 In the plea of abatement he sets forth that there is no law in the state requiring the attorney general to in stitute a suit to test the constitution ality of a law passed by the legisla- ture at the instance of a citizen.
 The demurrer charges that the court has no jurisdiction on the subject ant the petitioner no legal capacity to sue The petition does not state facts i: also alleged.
 The motion to make more definite and certain has to do with the allega. tion that the commission of state in stitutions deprives the governor of hi: powers, but makes no mention of wha powers he has been deprived of ana the same is stated in connection witl the state superintendent of public in. struction, the state examiner and thu board of regents of the state univer- sity.
 The only thing admitted by the de fendant in his second answer. is thu paragraph which states that Wiley E Jones is duly elected, qualified and act ing attorney general.

When the Coyote baseball team der feated the Mesa team by the score ot nine to nothing in particular the valley championship was practically cinehed' After carefully considering the fact
 that the Coyote have proven superior
 to every team in the Salt River valley the more sane of the valley baseball fans have conceded the championship to the Coyotes without question. Since they have won the valley
 league championship. the Coyotes are preparing to take little run down to 1 Tucson next week and wrest away the state championship cup. As there will only be about a dozen games played i during a space of less than week the 1 Coyotes will have to almost play base
