tice Wheeler said last night Some who were present at the time claim that Heed fired the fatal shot. while others maintain that Herwttz sus- tained the wound by accident.
 Official investigation of the facts will start in the East Phoenix pre- cinct justice court at 9:30 o'clock this morning, when a coroner's inquest will be held. Several witnesses have been subpoenaed to testify at the inquest.
 Hcrwitz' steady refusal, on his death bed, to make any statement regarding the shooting has only served to deep en the mystery, in the opinion of of ficers. It was at first supposed that Herwitz had said that he was acci- deutally shot in q scuffle for posses sion of the gun.
 When attorneys from the office of the county prosecutor went to the hos pital to get Herwitz' statement how ever, the dying man. though conscious, refused to enEghten officers on any of the phases of the shooting.
 He told Assistant District County Attorney Jarrott that he would make no statement regarding he shooting irrespective of the results. He died a few hours later.

WILD ANIMALS ARE SCARCE

CHICAGO-"Man eating" lions, tigers and other wild animals will be rare sights at circuses next summer, accord ing to circus owners who attended the showmen's annual convention here re- gently. Due to the war, the wild anil nal market has collapsed and what few animals are Obtainable in foreign countries can not be shipped here be- cause of lack of tonnage.
 According to circus owners, they usually obtained lions and tigers from the Hagenbeck Brothers menagerie in Germany. Since the armistice the me nagerie has broken up and wild animals have to be picked up wherever obtain able. Owing to lack of shipping space between European countries and the United States very few of these anil mals are brought here.
 Circus men say there is a great scare ity in thrillers and are searching the country for dare devils" to give circus crowds some excitement for their money.
 John Hopper of the John Robinson circuses, Peru, Ind, said the season just closed was the most prosperous in the history of circuses. People like circuses just as well to- day as they did when they were young he said.

 REMAIN ON COAST

Mr aud Mrs. H. R. Patrick returned Saturday morning from their summer residence on the coast and immediate ly after breakfast Mir. Patrick called at the office of The Republican to avoid a libel suit by publishing a con- spicuous and abject rttraction of statement made some months ago that he had gone to the coast to spend his remaining days.
 That was a double -barreled defam atory statement, he contends. The reference to his remaining days" he holds to be an implication that some time he expects to die, whereas he harbors no such notion. Nor was it his intention to leave Phoenix, where he has resided for more than forty years and where he expects to be found forty years hence-

CHARGE MAN WITH
 HAVING DRUGS: SAY
 REAL TRAFFIC HERE

F. $. Boyle was arrested late Satur- day by Policeman Blake and turned over to federal authorities on a charge of having illegal possession Of narcot- ics. According to the arresting officer, almost $500 worth of morphine and cocaine was found in Boyle's room at a local hotel.
 There is a lively traffic in contra band opiates. according to officers who are taking steps to eradicate the evil. Several arrests have been made in this connection recently and more are ex- pected to follow.
 Like every city where the drug traf- fife has gained a foothold Phoenix has it's corps of insidious instructors who make business of initiating the younger generation into the use of morphine and cocaine, according to of ficers. Their object in this is double: They create a broader market and greater demand for the drugs and they satisfy a peculiar desire characteristic of all addicts to bring others down to their own level
 Those who deal in illicit drugs and generally have a supply are known tC be in absolute control over confirmed addicts, who sooner or later reach c point where they will stop at nothing to obtain "one little shot" This is especially true of girls, who lose al moral sense in their obsession for tn, white powder, officers declare. New members are added to the rank! l of addicts and traffickers in the drus every day. Bootleggers Of whisky. whC
 run great hazards to smuggle liquol | into "dry" territory. often come int' contact with the drug smuggler anC | are attracted by the comparative cas-
 with which a quantity Of dope i l carried across the border. While the. regard the dopster with disdain, tn dealer in whisky cannot help but env,
 the larger profit and greater safety en jcyed by the powder peddler." Flo this reason many desert the ranks o the bootleggers to become trafficker Fin drugs and the problem of maintain ing prohibition is becoming subservien to the problem of eradicating tn "dope'' evil.
