TWO ARE ARRESTED ON CHARGE IF SELLING
 TOBACCO TO MINORS

MESA, May 17-AIinors addicted to the use of tobacco and at least two of their sources of supply were appre- hended by City Marshal E. J. Warren yesterday with the result that four youths of Mesa are now awaiting trial in the county juvenile court and two local Chinese merchants will appear before Justice Newell in the precinct court here this morning.
 Ong k- Ten and Joe Wah, proprietors of stores in the northeast part of town, when arrested yesterday for selling cigarettes and other tobaccos to boys under age admitted that they had done so, but alleged that it was only when the youths presented orders for tobacco signed by their fathers. Investigation of the orders developed the fact that in every instance the signatures to the orders were forged. Ten and Wah will appear before Judge Newell at 10:30 this morning to answer the charges filed against them.
 But a short time prior to the arrest of the Chinese storekeepers, the mar Ehai apprehended four boys smoking cigarettes. One of them when accused of the act protested his innocence but almost as readily admitted that he did chew tobacco. The case against the minors has been turned over to the county authorities and the boys will appear before the judge of the juvenile court.
