CASINO KEEPING
OPEN HOUSE
THIS EVENING

The Casino, better named the "The-
alter Beautiful, will have a great
housewarming this evening, when the
management will throw open the
doors to the public on the occasion
of their formal opening, this date
marking the completion of the many
improvements which have been un-
derway for the past two months. The
theater has been operating during
this time, but under considerable diff
ficulties, however, the interior and
exterior decorating is now complete,
and the splendid improvements made,
render this one of the handsomest
theaters in the State.
An entire new front has been in
stalled, embracing a spacious lobby,
beautifully tinted, and with shaded
white lights gives a beautiful effect
from the street. The interior has
been artistically decorated; the pill
lars, which INSTRUCTED the view from
certain seats have been removed, and
with the artistic lighting effects, the
Casino management can we'll be
proud of the result of their efforts.
This evening band concert will
be given in front of the theater from
Z to 8, and one of the biggest pictures
of the season, William S. Hart in
Poppy Girls Husband will be the
feature.

Courts Scrutiny Of The Bomb Evidence Is Brief;
 State Closes Murder Case

Nitroglycerine, oozing from the sawdust, was crusted on the edges of suitcase full of tin can bombs, carried gingerly into the superior court room yesterday. It looked mean. The jury and the court looked short. That is, it didn't take long to satisfy the court and the jury about those bombs. They were gingerly car ried out of the court room.
 The prosecution rested in the case of Diego Ballesteros, Enri- que Estrada and Filipe Cervan- tes, charged with having killed Horace Harrison at Jerome last September. The defense opened by moving to strike a quantity of testimony, and this being denied, moved for a directed verdict in favor of the defendants. This was also denied after a considerable argument.
 A witness named Alfonso Mur- lilo who was the one who con- nected the bombs with the de- fendants. He said that on Sept

WILSON FOR MONEY ID KEEP
 BUREAU
By Associated Press.

WASHINGTON, March 17.-Sec- retary of the Treasury, Carter NJ Glass has asked President Wilson to set aside more than $3,000000 from the presidential war emergency fund to cover the cost of continuing the operation of the cost of War Risk in surance until congress can remedy the recent failure to appropriate funds. The president has not given an answer. If he does not make the money available, the bureau activi- ties will be curtailed.
 The bureau has funds to cover all lotments and allowances so that checks may be sent out during the remainder of March and April. This really means that only the March all lowances may be sent out as the checks may be further delayed.
 The funds asked of the president are only for administration expenses and the fiscal operation of the bureau, and do not cover actual allotment and allowance checks.
 Approximately 15,OO0 are employ ed by the bureau and the payroll is more than a million a month. About l 1,2O0O00,OOO checks for allotments and allowances and insurance com pensation are now being mailed each month. The monthly disbursements amount to more than $40,OO0,O00.
 There is no shortage in the fund, for the allotments since this money Is deducted from the pay of the sol diers, but funds available for allow ances, which are added to the allot- ments, are depleted.

ember 10, he saw the defendants go into a house near the United Verde Extension, with a heavy laden suit case. After the killing of Harrison, the officers search ed this house and found the suit case It still contained the bombs. Said bombs had been made by putting a primer and stick of giant in a tin can and surrounding same with bits of scrap iron. It is thought the bombs were to have been used in connection with the short lived Mexican revolution in Jerome last fall. At any rate, one glimpse of the explosive was enough for the court. The pow der was so old that it was unstable and constituted real danger to anyone handling it.
 The state produced other testi- mony to show that the defend ants had quit their rooming house, day or two before the killing, leaving a lot of their personal ef- fects in the hands of the landlord, Kasta Katieh.

PAINTERS WANT WAGE RAISE
 S7 A DAY

A meeting between a delegation from the local painters union and the contractors of Prescott was neld last evening at the office of the Yavapai Decorating Co.,, at which the union gave official notice that after March 3lst, the union scale for painters will be $7O0 per day
 J. H. Curtain acted as spokesman for the union and stated that there was only a feeling of friendliness in the union for the contractors, but ow- ing to the cost of living in Prescott which is rapidly advancing, that a man could not live on the present wage of 5000 per day.
 When asked if tine new scale would go into effect at the fort at the same time and if the men there would go out in case it were not granted, he replied that they could not strike against the U. s. Government but that the government always had been governed by the wage scale estab- lished in Prescott, and would in this case after the necessary red tape had been gone through with Washington.
 It was also stated that in spite of the high cost of living that the paint CTS employed at the fort would con tribute twenty five per cent of their $6 per day to maintain the strike.
 The contractors say that there are about SC painters employed at the fort while there are only about 10 em- ployed in Prescott, and that it is un fair not only to themselves but to the whole city to call strike of the city painters who are bonafide resi- dents in order to force the govern ment to accept the new scale. They claim that they are being made "the goat" and that the resident painters are being forced to pull the chest nuts from the fire for the ones at the fort whom they claim are only temporary residents here and there fore have no real interest in the wei fare of the city.
 The contractors all offered to pay the new scale provided contractors at the fort did the same, but said that they would refuse to do SO otherwise as they considered it unfair to treat the contractors at the fort one way and themselves another.
 Mir. Curtain said that this was quib- bling and getting away from the is sue, that the painters intended to do tnes best they could for themselves and that they intended to have %00 per day, and that was not a subject for argument as it was settled.

UNPEPENTENT HUNS EXPECT ID BE IN PARIS IN FEW YEARS
THREE DIE FROM DENATURED BEVERAGES; INVESTIGATION
 OF SALE BY CORONER'S JURY

Dr. Southworth near Thomas quar- ! ters.
 Roe identified Freericks, who was in the court room. ] Justice of the Peace McLane asked Freericks if he wanted to testify and the druggist admitted that he did. He had nothing to conceal. County at torney Clark warned him that if 1t were possible to build a criminal charge he would do so, and said Free ricks must know this before commit- ting himself
 Freericks' Testimony.
 That from IS to 20 day are ask ing for diamond spirits" dena.ured alcohol and other alcoholic com pounds not ordinarily used as a com- mon beverage was the striking, not to say startling admission of the drug gist. Only those who impress him as being more or less responsible, get their stuff, however. About 4 or 5 day are allowed to buy these colu- tions, Freericks said He also said that the demand for such stuff has been as heavy as this for only about month.
 He admitted that druggists were allowed to sell any of these medicines on their own sponsibility, and that they were not limited as to the amount they could sell to one per son. Usually the vendor judged the emptdr and decided whether or not to trust any great quantity of medi cine to them and that men represent ing themselves as prospectors bound for the lonely hills could buy as much as 4 ounces of paregoric at time
 Defines Diamond Spirits.
 Freericks defined diamond spirits as purified wood alcohol, put up and distributed as such by all druggists. It does not come from the whole saler labelled poison, hence it is sold at retail without that designation.
 Denatured alcohol, he said, was % percent grain or ethyl alcohol, oH percent unpurified wood or methyl alcohol, and some other compounds the exact nature of which he did not recall.
 During Mir Freericks' testimony, the county attorney displayed a num- $ Der of empty bottles, the labels in- dicating they had held denatured all cohol, peptona, beef-iron-and-winc and two full bottles bearing Eagle Drug Co.,, labels, one containing } and the other 2 ounces of paregoric. All these had been found at Thomas room, and indicated that he had gone to some lengths to give his stomach a kick.
 Officers on Stand.
 Night policemen Twamley and Me Dermid then took the stand and told stories backing up that of Swanson.
 Day Jailor Marshall told of the death of Thomas, and, it being i'm possible at that time to summon Dr. Southworth, who was i'll and Dr. Looney who had been called to Je- rome, the inquest was adjourned until today.
 The grusome end of the three men, who, it seems, same from Los An geles to work at tine post, recalls the death of five of the seven tramps who broke into box car at Dewey, several years ago, and regaled them selves with 3 cask of denatured alco- hol.
