SHERMAN CLAY CO.
 OPEN IN PHOENIX

Another very important retail store is soon to be added to the commercial activity of Phoenix, the Sherman-C Clay company of San Francisco being the new entrants.
 This concern is so well known in the west that 1t needs no introduction to the public, particularly those connect ed in any way with musical circles.
 Operating ten stores%on the Pacific coast. and controlling practically three states on the great Steinway piano line. the Aeoliasn company's products, Eose and Weber pianos, the Sherman Clay company is one of the largest dis tributers of musical merchandise in the United States
 The main offices of the company are in San Francisco. where a store is also maintained, and the company has stores at Spokane. Seattle. Tacoma, Portland, Sacramento, Oakland, Fres- no, San Jose Stockton and a wholesale establishment at Los Angeles.
 Now comes the Phoenix store. The local store will retail the Steinway, A. B. Chase, Vose and Sons, Aldrich and Brambach Grand lines. and will also handle very comprehensive line of players.
 Tn addition to the piano and player lines mentioned, the Sherman Clay are also distributors on the Victor
 
 c. A. JaBelle of San Francisco has arrived in Phoenix to take charge of the establishment of the local store, and has opened temporary quarters at the Jefferson hotel
 The local establishment of Sher- man-C Clay company will be a splendid addition to the musical growth of Phoenix, bringin ing as it does, the pres tige of the great firm it represents, and also the products of the master piano 'builders of the country.
 Those people of Phoenix who are familiar with the musical merchandis- ing firms of the Pacific coast will rec ognize in the Phoenix store the same one price policy and excellent reliable service that charaeterizes the Sher- man Clay organization wherever it is represented.

oE-ARREST TWO ONI
 KIDNAPPING CHARGE

Due to failure of the county attor- neys office to file an information ln the Superior court against Estaba I bara and Joaquin Gotta, they were yes terday arrested and arraignec again before Justice Charles de Sales Wheel CT on two charges each in connection with the Kidnapping of l5-year-old Mexican girl several weeks ago. The men waived their preliminary hearing and were held to answer to the Supe- rior court under bonds of S2,5Oo each. They were committed to the county jail when they failed to furnish the bonds.
 Both men are charged with Kidnapping and Ybarra is charged with committir- a statutory offense. Gotta is charged with assault with a deadly weapon which arises from the alleged beating of the girls guardian at the time she was taken from her home on the 1ndi- an school road. The complaint was made by Deputy Sheriff Blanco. Ac- cording to the story told by the off cers. the men entered the tent house of the girls guardians and while bar ra picked up the girl who was scantily clad Cota kept the guardian from in terferring by striking al him with a pistol.
 The men kept the girl for several days, according to officers, at Cota's home near Highline canal. She finally made her escape from them through the aid of Cota's mother and the arrest of the men followed. Ybarra was also implicated in the recent attempted jail delivery at the county jail and has a charge of aggravated assault against him in connection with it.

Delaware Only State in Union
Where Whipping Is
Permitted.
CLAIM IT GETS RESULTS
Law Designates the Number of Strokes
for the Various Felonies-No Dis

Wilmington, Del.-The whipping
post has been abolished in Delaware,
but whipping still remains.
Instead of strapping offenders to
post, they are forced to stand
against n wall, with their hands out
stretched on either side.
Delaware is the only state in which
this form of punishment still is per-
mitted. In other states it was abol-
ished long ago.
In Delaware even the piilory was
abandoned only recently.

PLAN UNIQUE FOREST SYSTEM
New Workers Aim to Make County
One Continuous Park, and Have
the Trees Pay Taxes.

To make the loafing acre work is
the plan of Otsego county, New York,
which has started a campaign to plant
a forest of 100 acres on the waste
lands in each of the "a townships OF
that county.
The plans, says the New York Times,
are to develop a county system similar
to the city park plan, with its har-
monized system Of connecting boule-
wards. The project involves the de-
velopment Of a comprehensive highway
system.
The forests will be located so that
they will serve as green nature sign
boards along the highways, to adver-
tise to the world that the county has
its own forests, owned, planted and
maintained by .he public for the flu
ture generations.
AS the trees mature they will pro-
vide in the future an income which
will mean an actual cash return to
serve as an offset against taxation.
European towns often pay the cost of
operation of their government from
their forests, having no taxes, but this
requires a greater area of forest than
is proposed for OtsegO.

lenses are also punishable by impris-
Onment.
The most of the statutes merely
provide penalties for the various Of
lenses with no provision that they
shall not be inflicted upon women,
public opinion in Delaware will no
longer permit the flashing of women.
A majority of the offenders TO be
punished in that manner are negroes,
but white men suffer it as well. The
Whippings usually take place at the
end of each court term or, if the
terms last more than one week, the
Whippings occur at the end of each
week. They are administered by the
warden of the Jail.
A curious feature of the law of
Delaware is that it makes no distinc-
ton between grand and petty larceny;
the theft of a loaf of bread by hun
cry man is technically as serious a
crime as the stealing Of $1,000 by d
hardened criminal.
