NEW COOKS ARRIVAL
 CAUSES FUSS. FINE
 AND FEDERAL INQUIRY

A new cooks arrival at a Phoenix restaurant was the indirect cause of several happenings. It resulted in an altercation between the restaurant pro prietor and a waitress: of the proprie- tors arrest on charge of having struck the woman and also of the presence in the court room of a federal agent following introduction of testimony closely related to the Mann act.
 A plea that he was merely defending himself from an angry woman did not help. A. Dean, proprietor of the Pan- anna restaurant at 216 East Adams street when he appeared in police court yesterday afternoon to answer to q complaint brought by Lottie Pas tolio, until yesterday a waitress in Deans restaurant. who charged that Dean had struck her.
 Deans answer was that he had pushed her face with his open hand. and that his knee had struck her, but that it had been done in an effort to defend himself. According to Dean. the trouble started with the waitress .-fussing' because of the new cook at the restaurant.
 The feature of the case that inter ested the federal agent was the devel- opment that the waitress came to Phoenix from Chicago about three months ago in response to letter from Dean who had known her in that city. and that a ticket, paid for by an ac- qCaintance of Dean, had been sent the woman According to Dean, his friend wanted to know where he could get a good Italian girl to work for him, and he, Dean. had suggested Lottie. So Lottie had been sent for. However. when she arrived, the arrangement did not suit her and she went to work for Dean
 Both plaintiff and defendant testi- fled that Lottie and Dean had lived together at various times. As it was shown that her transportation here was paid for by the acquaintance and not by Dean, no federal action was taken in the case. Dean was fined $50.
 Lottie left last night for Chicago after declaring she was sorry she had ever come to Phoenix.
