TURN OUT IN FORGE FUR CONCERT BY TIE
 TENTH CAVALRY BAND

A large and appreciauve audience turned out at the capitol last night to hear the public concert rendered by the tenth cavalry band from Fort Huachuca. The crowd was estimated at 250O people, scattered all over the state house lawn in various attitudes of comfort, the youngsters rolling in the grass and doing Ruth St. Denis steps to the music.
 A feature of the concert which was given at the request of the governor, was a one -step named the Governor Campbell" written by c. s. Gronegal, leader of the Fort Grant industrial school band, a dignified but catchy melody, apparently much approved by the hearers, for number of them were noted attempting to whistle it.
 During the afternoon the band, a colored organization, was honored by the colored folk of Phoenix with an entertainment at Eastlake park, con- prising good things to eat, speeches and general good time. The colored population turned out to the concert also being there in force.
 The band is a good organization rendering excellent music, and the crowd that gathered to hear them was demonstration of the fact, as most of the people present had heard them the day before at the memorial tourna- : ment.

FIRST DUST STORM
 0F SEASON PASSES

The first dust storm of the season, brief one, and outside the annoy ance of the dust for little while, decidedly cooling. struck Phoenix last night at 8:30 o'clock.
 For about an hour the mounting cloud of dun -colored dust had been seen boiling down from the direction of the Superstition mountains, rising higher and spreading wider as 1r came. For ten minutes before it got to Phoenix the rollnig pail of yellow dust could be plainly seen, and every one had closed up the windows and gathered out in the yards and on the porches to enjoy the accompanying wind.
 The storm was of brief duration, passing over and through the city in a short time, and going on west looking for other places to dust. No one paid any particular attention to it. As one resident recently arrived was heard to remark, Well, if that is one of your famous dust storms I don't think much of it''

the field, but neither Lieut.. J. T. Law son, the pilot, or Sergeant A. J. Mas samer, the passenger, were injured, in their forced landing.
 Incidentally, this crash marked the ignoble end of the first aerial news paper delivery in the state.
 glance at these varied misfortunes would convince almost any one that the "jinx'' should have been satisfied. But it was not. It was working full time Saturday, though in a less osten- tatious manner
 Lieutenant Goldsborough and Ser geant Nassamer wanted to go to the field, for instance, they had been prom ised car, but when they went to look for it, it was not to be found. Neither was any other car they tried to bor TOW. However, they met a Republican reporter, who hit upon the bright idea of borrowing Sidney Myers flivver. So the flivver was borrowed, and it car ried the party now augmented to four, to the fair grounds.
 Adding Irony to Disaster
 On the way back the ''jinx' bobbed up again. The car ran out of gas, and five cars were stopped before one was found whose driver would take Ser geant Nassamer back to the field for some gas. Then it took Nassamer fif- teen minutes longer to find somebody to haul himself and the gas back to the car. And when the trip was re- stunned the flivver had more narrow escapes from disaster in ten minutes than ever before in it's history. And in the meanwhile other members of the party of army fliers were having other similar minor encounters with their jinX.
 In fact, one of the birdmen con- fessed privately that he was surprised neither of the ships that took part in the tournament was affected suf- ficiently by the jinx to get cracked up. Another. Lieut.. Goldsborough who took the train for Rockwell Field yesterday morning, was firmly convinced that his train would be wrecked. It wasn't however, so he had a little good luck after all.
 At any rate, the "jinx'' was with the aviators several days and it did it's work well. So if it began a vaca- ton from duty yesterday it was about time.

LINK DROUGHT
 HARD LUCK TO
 ARMY B|RDMEN
Explanation for Series of Big and Little Mishaps That Preceded Luke Me mOrial Tournament

What mysterious "jinx" pursued the seven army airplanes that came to Arizona last week to participate ill the Frank Luke Memorial Tourna- ment? A jinx it must have been, for when Saturday came only two planes were left in commission to take part in the tournament, while the others were strewn from Tucson to Needles, and from Phoenix to Yuma.
 A "jinx" is the only way the army aViators from Rockwell Field could ex- plain their misfortunes. And to the casual observer it also seemed a jinx," for the aviators were picked pilots from the field, and most of them mad rarely damaged a ship" before. If a "jinx" it was, it was a whimsical one, for in all the "cracks" not man was injured-and some of the mis- haps were fairly good sized crashes. At any rate, the "jinx" managed to disappoint thousands of Phoenicians by leaving only two planes to take part in the tournament, in making the airmen considerably disgusted with their hard luck, and in costing the government several times as much NlOiEy dS lilt lOukudulbHL uHLltu.
 Had it not been for the jinx, seven airplanes would have participated in the memorial tournament. Two were already in this state on the recruiting drive for the air service Captain L. E. Appleby has been conducting for the last three weeks. Five more planes were also to attend, and they left the field, to fly to Phoenix last Thursday morning.
 Included in the five were two Cur tis-Hispanos of the type already in .hC state DeHaviland 'Bluebird" and a LaPere, two of the best and most expensive models in America, and a German Fokker one of the crack Ger man fighting models.
 Jinx Began Work Wednesday
 The 'jinx" began it's work Wednes- day when Captain Appleby damaged his plane in landing at Yuma-dam- aged it so badly it could not be re- paired until this week. At the same time the captains other plane, Lieut.. Worthington's "Hisso," was damaged at Douglas, but it was repaired in time TO fly back for the tournament, where thousands saw it do thrilling and ex- ceedingly dangerous stunts.
 It was the Rockwell Field fliers that the "jinx" worked on most effectively, for out of the five planes that started only three got to Phoenix, and only )ne participated in the tournament
 The first plane to crash was the DeHaviland, which bumped into an ir- rig;ltion ditch in landing at the state fair grounds Thursday afternoon, did a flip-flop, and rested upside down propeller shattered and wings cracked

FLY THIS MORNING TO MILE H|GH CITY
 FUR FRONTIER DAYS

Lieutenant R. s. Worthington and Master Signal Electrician Mason will leave this morning for Prescott for the Frontier days celebration, according to ar announcement last night by Captain L. E. Appleby, air service recruiting officer in this state. They will fly the red Curtiss -Hispano airplane that stunted so vigorously at the memorial tournament Saturday, and will be fol- lowed tomorrow by the white plane, carrying Captain Appleby and Lieuten- ant H. R. Haslam.
 Besides taking part in the Frontier days celebration, the two airplanes will take part in an intensive recruiting campaign for the air service in Pres- colt.
 With both the ships out of the city, Phoenix will have no airplane here for the Fourth of July. The only other ship in commission in the state, that now being repaired at Tucson, will be flown to Florence for the Fourth by Lieutenant Bernard Summings and Cadet Nassamer. All three planes are expected to be back in this city by next Saturday, when they will start the return flight to Rockwell field.
 The DeHaviland "Bluebird" plane which crashed in landing here last Thursday will start back to the field this morning by freight. With it will go the remains of the Curtiss plane which was wrecked at Mesa Friday night The other two Rockwell field planes which crashed before arriving here will be shipped back to the field from the respective scenes of their dis asters, Yuma and Needles.
 The army aviators in the city, ex- cept the six who will fly the three remaining planes, will return to the coast by rail tonight, one of them, Lieu tenant W. c. Goldsborough, leaving yesterday Included in the party will be Lieutenant J. T. Lawson and Cadet Cardiff.

NEW C|TY TAX RATE REMAINS
 hT OLD FIGURE
Despite Greater Expenses and Improvement Expen- ditures, No Raise in Taxes Is Planned for City

The tax rate for the city of Phoe- nix for the 1919-20 year will be $1.06 per S100 assessed valuation. the same rate as last year. A semi-official an- nouncement to this effect was made Saturday.
 Although the new rate remains un- changed from last year, city officials look upon it, in reality, as substan- tial reduction, especially in the face of increased salaries and costs of materials
 Operating expenses of the city have increased approximately 20 per cent within the past year, it was explained.
 Likewise the new rate includes an appropriation of $1e5, ,000 for perman- ent improvements, an increase of $50,- coo over the permanent improvement appropriation of last year.
 Conservative administration of city affairs during the past year, whereby the years business will be closed to- day with 8 remainder of $b0,000 in the city treasury, is partially respon- sihle for the unchanged tax rate for the coming year.
 Water Department Made Profit
 This surplus remains irrespective of the influenza epidemic last fall and winter, ir which the city expended ap- rroximarely $20s0O0 in an effort to combat the disease.
 Another big item that enters into the new rate is the revenue from the water department. Total revenue from the water department for the coming year is estimated at $145,000. Operating expenses for the period will be S45,754, according to the estimate, and an ad- ditional $33,70 will be expended for new mains, services, hydrants, meters and pumping equipment, leaving a to- tai net revenue of $65,546 from this source to go into the general fund. The total net revenue of the water depart ment, exclusive of the money to be expended for the purchase of new equipment, is $99,246.
 This annual net revenue from the water department would pay the in- terest and leave a remainder of S20,00( for the sinking fund each year for the proposed new Verde project, it was ex- plained, in the event that property owners vote the necessary bonds fol the construction of the project.

fricke Acquitted
OF Treason; Jury
Out Only 4 Hours
intin'atcd Other Espionage
Cases May BE Dropped
as Result: Parolcd on
Charge Of Conspiracy

Albert Paul Fricke, the naturalzcd
German who has been on trial before
Judge julius NJ. Mayer in the Federal
District Court Tor the past two weeks
charged with treason was acquitted
last night after the jury had deliver
atcd for four hours. As a result of tho
acquttal it was intimatcd that many
OF the csponiage prosecutions Of the
government may be abandoned.
The indictment charged that Fricke
was the paymaster of a group Of Tcu-
tonic spies in this country who worked
under the direction of Hermann Wes-
sells, alias Carl Roediger. Fricke was
accused of giving Vessels more than
$4,000 between August %, 1917, and
May :. 1918, and it was asserted that
lrithc knew Vessels was an agent
of the Imperial German governments
The case went to the jury a little
after noon yesterday.
In his charge Judge Mayer pointed
out that when Roedgcr or Wesscls
came TO America in November. 1915.
the President was elected on the plat
form that he kept the country out Of
war, He charged the jury that no
treason could have been committed
before April 6. 1917.
At 5:20 the jury asked the court for
further instruction in Ease there was
no proof that Vessels had committed
any crime against the United States
after April 6. 1917. Judge Mayer said
that II the jury was satisfied Fricke
believed Vessels to be a spy after
that date they should find him guilty.
if not, they must find him not guilty
Of treason.
After remaining in the jury room
but two minutes the jurors returned
and announced their verdict.
Frlcke and his wife personally
thanked each of the jurors as he left
the box. Later they also thanked Judge
Mayer for his fairness and conside ra :
ton.
Thomas j. O'Neill requested that his
client be paroled in his custody until
such time as arrangements could be
made for him to furnish surety in the
conspiracy case against him. The re
quest was granted by Judge Mayer.
who directed that fr.cke appear on
Monday and furnish $4,000 bail
