 OVERSEAS

That Roy Diskin is in the United States again after service overseas as a realroad machinist for nearly two years, is inferred from the fol- lowing telegram received by his mother, Mrs. Mary E. Disllin, dated yesterday at Newark, N. J.
 Tt is like coming into a new world once again. Going to Camp Merritt, to be mustered out"
 The date of Diskin's arrival in Prescott is uncertain, and it will prob ably require two weeks for him to get home.
 Another Prescottite who has land ed at New York city from France is E. O'Donnell, of the 27th Engineers, the mining regiment. He also, is to return to Yavapai to follow mining again, and Camp Merritt is to be his demobilizing station.

PROHIBITION JAW IS NOT IN
 FAVOR WITH ALI JURYMEN, BUT
 THEY ARE FORTS ENFORCEMENT

Convincing evidence that the pro inhibition law is not a popular one with the kind of men who are able to pass the jury tests and sit in judg- ment on criminal cases, was brought forth at the superior court yester- day during the selection of twelve good men and true to try Albert Lewis Norton and May Wilson for bootlegging.
 In a number of cases, where the state asked the prospective juror ii he had any objection to convicting under the liquor law, the answer was that the juror didn't because the law was on the books, but that he didn', care much for the law.
 One juror said he did not like the law. q have taken a drink of whis, key whenever I wanted if for many years" he said, and looked so hale and hearty and generally competent that nobody could have used him for a horrible example. The county at torney attempted to learn more oi the jurors state of mind and asked if it would take lot more proof tc convince him that May Wilson wa, guilty than it would for a man. The juror admitted that he could try 3 woman as fairly as he could a man He would require, however that tho state make it morally certain in hi. mind that the defendants had brough the wniskey fin her" There was ar instant challenge.

NILSSON GUILTY FAILURE ID
 PAY WAGES

Interposing no defense except the argument of his counsel, A. R. Nils son, wrecker of mine machinery saw his case go to the jury at $40 yes terday afternoon, and less than half an hour later, listened to the read ing of the verdict convicting him of the misdemeanor of failure to pay wages.
 There were but three witnesses and one exhibit in the case. Sidney Tamly, who swore out the complaint, testified that ne had worked for Nils son taking apart mine machinery and getting it in shape for junking, and that on application for his pay, was told that his employer was with out funds.
 It was intimated that this was not the only case in which men had been induced to work for Nilsson and had found the payroll unproductive of legal tender.
 Attorney J. E. Russell for the de- fendant argued that his client should not be convicted merely because ne was broke. Neil Clark, county attor- ney, concluding for the state, saic that being broke did not constitute the offense, but refusal or failure to pay wages did under the Arizona laws.
 On hearing the verdict, the court ordered the defendant remanded to the custody of the sheriff and the bail exonerated. Russell protested that the bond was good and the case involved only a misdemeanor. The court let the order stand while en- gagged in the selection of a jury in the Norton-Wilson case, and later, vacated the order and released the de. fendant on his original bail An ap- peal is expected.

 PARIS, Mar. 25-The procIa- nation of the Hungarian revolut- ionists declares the action of the peace conference is one of the chief causes of the unrest, but thus far the conference has taken no specific action regarding Hun gary. The recommendations of the territorial commission clearly foreshadow the dismemberment of old Hungary with a circle of new small states surrounding the remains of the old territory.
 This decision not yet approch- ed by the conference, doubtless reached the Hungarian leaders and gave impetus for the over throw of the Karolyi government
 One of the officials, who is talk ing leading part in the readjust- ment Of territory in that quarter of Europe, explained the situation as follows: Bohemia has been detached from the northwest of old Hungary, the adjoining coun- try of the Slovaks has also been detached. The Bohcmians are Czechs and with the Slovaks form the new Czecho-Slovak nat ion both parts being detached from Hungary.

 The Case in Brief.
 Albert L. Norton who owns a ranch on the Colorado river and an expensive automobile in the custody of the county of Yavapai and May Wilson, also known as Mabel Wilson, Myrtle Moore, Winnifrcd Moore and Mrs. w. w.

Later, a larger cache of booze, similarly wrapped, was found nearby, bringing the total up to well over 400 pints.
 The defendants were released on '. g. 500 bond apiece and immediately |rearrested and taken to Phoenix on a charge of having come across the state line in violation of the Mann act. Their bond was fixed at $3,50O apiece by the United States cOmmis- sioner.
