ECHOES IF JEROME
 |. W. W. CASE HEARD

Echoes of an action against alleged l. w w. members during the strike disorders in the Jerome district a few months ago were heard in the state supreme court yesterday when argu- ments in the case of J. G. Crowley as city marshal of Jerome, against James Cannon ct al were made. The appeal by Crowley is from a ruling of the Yavapai county superior court on a writ of habeas corpus. in which the ap- pellees Cannon and others, were re- leased from the custody of the Jerome marshal.
 Facts as presented in the arguments yesterday were that the appellees were arrested by Crowley on a charge of violating the city ordinance, which prohibited congregating on the streets. Cannon and r other alleged members of the I. w. w. were taken into cus tody, tried by the police judge of Je- rome, found guilty, and sentenced to serve a period of days in the city Jail.
 Jail quarters were provided in the basement of a Jerome hotel it was brought out, and there the men were quartered. They later appealed to the Yavapai county superior court and on a writ of habeas corpus were liberated.

J. $. AGENT CHARGES WOOD PROFITEER|NG
 BY LOCAL DEALERS

According to the information that has been received al the office Of the department of justice every wood deaiN CT in Phoenix is profiteering. This was the statement of Frank $. Smith. spe- cial agent of the department. when a witness at the preliminary hearing Of Dennis William F'renchman yesterday.
 F'renchman, charged with violation of the Lever act in the sale Of wood after the hearing before John E. Henlle, U. s. commissioner, was bound over to the February term of court. His bond of S1, 1000 was furnished.
 While the commissioner ruled that the prevailing rate had no bearing on Frenchman's case, it developed through witnesses who purchased wood from the Five Points dealer at the alleged rate of s3 ca cord that other Phoenix dealers were asking the same price which the government officials regard as exorbitant.
 The complaint against Frenchman had to do with the sale of wood to Sam Edwards who was satisfied to pay s3 for wood, which stacked, according to the measurements taken by Fred Weage, deputy U. $. marshal. was 64 inches long and B inches wide. The sticks were 10 or II inches in length. Government witnesses testified that F'renchman made a voluntary state ment in the office of the U. s. attorney and that from the figures he frankly submitted on cost of wood and oper5N- tion they believed that he was guilE of the crime charged.
 Several witnesses took the stand for the defendant, among whom were F.. W. Samuel, who declared that he had no fault to find with Frenchman's prices, stating that in comparison tc other prices he believed he was getting it cheaper.
 J. c. Gable, connected with a local hardware firm said that in his 64 years the first wood he ever bought for good measure came from F'renchman. He said he had been one of his patrons since he came here about a year ago.
 Jacob Isaacson, who also conducts wood yard. bought a car of wood from F'renchman at sS.50 a. cord for I9ls cords with additional freight of S45 He said after he had it cut and sold two cubic feet at $7, the price asked by F'renchman to his customer he lost money on the deal.
 Charles F. Tucker, a pioneer resi- dent, considered that he had received good measure from Frenchman and testified as to the dealers good char acter. Another character witness was L. L. Steward, cashier of the Citizens State bank.

UP IN MABEL'S ROOM' SCREAM|NCLY FUNNY FARCE AT THE ELKS

Screamingly funny does not begin to describe up in Mabel's Room" It was heralded as a whirlwind comedy, and it is all that, and very much more, for there are so many clever lines in the frivolous farce that one stops laughing now and then in order not to miss one of them. It is even more dar- ing than Twin Beds" and moro brill iant in it's sparkling humor. There is not dull moment in the three acts.
 The farce at the Elks theater last evening is of the lingerie and bedroom variety so popular in recent years and it is one of the best. It played with the success in the east which has been repeated on the road. That Phoe- nix was included in tSS western tour is a matter on which local theatergoers congratulated themselves last night and those who attended yesterdays matinee and the last performance last night will agree that there is cause for solicitations.
 The plot is gathered in the folds of a fluffy envelope chemise of pink rose pink. Any number of amusing situations develop in the attempt of young husband to recover the dainty bit of lingerie which he at one time gave to another woman. Not only does the chemise disturb the peace anc happiness of the husband, but every member of the house party becomes involved in domestic troubles over the bit of crepe. There are explanations and everything when Garry (the hus- band) is not only found in Mabels room, but under Mabel's bed.
 For once, no fault could be found in the cast. The players were splendidly cast each furnishing their full share of fun. Ruth Gates as Mabel was es- pecially attractive. and gave just the right shade to the lines that might otherwise have shocked the fastidious
 The Geraldine of Anita Lawrence was also worth mentioning, as was the work of Helen Carew and the remain ing members of the company. The men all set off their parts well. aI- though particular mention should be made of John A. Began, the husband and Lew Medbury.
