TO CASH
 WARRANTS WORRIES
 EMPLOYEES OF STATE
As Banks Refuse Paper, Prospects of Realizing Before April 1 or 10
 Seem Hazy to Holders

PHOENIX, March 17-State en- ployes are evidencing considerable concern over their inability to cash their state salary warrants. The banks are refusing to accept the paper as there are no funds to pro vide immediate payment, and the warrants bear only per cent in terest.
 The situation cannot be remedied until the state receives funds from the bonding syndicate which has agreed to take tax anticipation bonds bearing 8 per cent. Until the re- ceipt of these funds sometime be- tween April l and April 10, state employees and other holders of state warrants will be out of luck unless they can find some kind-hearted in dividual to cash their warrants at discount

W. H. r. JONES
 TAKEN TO COAST FUR TREATMENT.
From Friday,s pailyl

VI Abil r AiN'iA ifdiiyJ
 Serious illness yesterday caused the removal of Supervisor w. H. F. Jones to sanatarium in California, following brief stay at the Mercy hospital. Staying for several weeks at his mine near Chaparra1, where he was attended by Mrs. Jones, Su- pervisor Jones for some time has been suffering from severe nervous headaches, his condition reaching a serious stage.
 The removal to the coast .yester- day followed recommendation of Supervisor Jones' physicians. A leave of absence of 60 days has been granted him by the board of super visors, with a probable extension if this is necessary for his complete recovery.
 It is believed that Jones' condition is due to nervous strain brought about by overwork. In addition to his duties as a member Of the board of supervisors, he has been consid- erably occupied with work in con nection with his mine. His condi- ton has reused considerable anxiety among his many friends here, who will watch with intcrest his progress toward recovery.

HOME HAS RECORD IF
 ENTIRE STATE
Prescott Institution First of the State to Attain 100 per Cent Mark in Employment of Ex- Service Men, Says Letter

PHOENIX. March 16.-The state Pioneers Home at Prescott is the first state institution to attain 100 per cent in the matter of employing ex-scrvice men. This fact, together with the splendid treatment accord ed the pioneers by Superintendent George Shea, is made the subject of a letter of commcndation to Cover nor Campbell from the Ernest A. Love post of the American Legion.
 The letter reads as follows:
 Governor Thomas Campbell,
 Capitol Bldg, Phoenix, Ariz.
 Dear Sir: It coming to the notice of the Ernest A. Love post No. of this city that the Pioneers Home has attained a 100 per cent record ill the matter of the employment of cx-soldiers at that institution, a visit was made to these men and the in stitution for the purpose of becoming acquainted with the comrades as well as to learn how they enjoyed their environment and working conditions
 Without exception these men ex- pressed satisfaction, not only with their stations and treatment, but dis played appreciation of the superin- tendent in charge, George Shea, not only in his dealings with themselves, but because his sympathetic manage ment influenced the pioneers homing there that the desirability of their positions and ease of working con ditions was thereby promoted
 Asked by the eX-soldiers there cm- ployed to view with pride the insti- tution which they were serving, an inspection was made of the entire institution. Visitation Of the quarters of the men and women who have their homes within the building, and personal interviews with many of them disclosed that these too re- flected the same good opinion Of the management of the institution, and the efficiency and human being" service given not only by the ex- service men employees but by the entire staff.
 The visit of the institution includ- ed the hospital the dining room with the meal ready; in fact, from the heating plant to the women's parlor. The representatives of the legion feel a pride in the results ac- complshed by Superintendent Shea, and the part the ex-soldier shares by the supporting by the veterans there employed of the popularity and efficiency of this institution which has the honorable trust of comfort ably and sympathetically proving it. self the staff which aids the pioneers of the state of Arizona as they slowly make their way to life's outcrmost harbor from whence they journey into the great beyond.
 Respectfully.
 (Signcd) w. NJ. ROBERTS,.

VERDE CONDITIONS
 ARE GIVEN PRAISE

Returning from Phoenix, where he has been attending the state leg islature, Representative Ebert A. Stewart is reported to be enthusias- tic over the amount of business transacted by the legislature. He is even more enthusiastic over the good conditions prevailing ill Jerome and the Verde valley district generally.
 "We have every reason to be thankful" he said yesterday that we are living here rather than in Phoenix. Bread lines and soup kitchens are the order down there, and the amount of unemployment is appalling. The Salvation Army and the Federation of Labor are feeding hundreds of people every day, and industrial conditions are bad, very bad"
 Representative Stewart is of the opinion that it will be necessary to call a special session of the state legislature next December in order to secure action on the governors civil administration bill, which failed of passage at the session just ended The measure was adopted by the senate, but was not acted on by the house. This measure provided for the coordination of the several de- partments of the state
 Speaking of the session just ended, Stewart said: "I en- joyed the work, and I believe we did the best we could for the interests of the state, but I am mighty glad to be home again"

OTIS HACKETT MAKES MILEAGE RECORD ON
 SANTA ANA COURSE
Fourteen miles for a centl

IOuI lCCl llllGS TOT Ccllt!
 For super economy Otis Hackett, a motorcycle rider of Santa Ana, Calif., has just hung up a mileage record that eclipses anything hereto fore known in the motor vehicle world
 Mounted on an Indian scout model machine Hackett covered Is laps over a 5.4 mile measured course 97.2 miies-on a single quart of gasoline, making the best showing Of 10 crack riders entered in the Or ange County Motorcycle club econ omy test.
 With gasoline at 2 cents per gal lon the new record shows a cost of 634 cents for the 97.2 miles-144 miles for cent At this rate Hack cit could have travelled 388.S miles on a gallon!
 When compared with existing fig ures the new mark sounds so pre- postcrous that even the most enthu- siastic motorcyclist might we'll doubt it's authenticity were it not for the official report of the judges of the contest.
 At the start all gasoline tanks were drained and a quart of fuel supplied in sealed cans This was poured in an improvised auxiliary tank 1ashed to the machine and fed directly into the carburetor, thereby precluding any possibility of liking" a standard tank
 Sharing in the new economy rec ord were the Goodyear tires with which Hackett's machine was equip ped. Their tractive and power say ing propensities added greatly to the victor's success.

THEIR CREDENTIALS QUESTIONED, SAWN AND WILSON, BOLSHEVIST.
 HUNTERS, LEAVE CITY HURRIEDLY|
From Thursday's Dailvl

(From Thursdays Daily)
 As a result of the refusal of the local school authorities to turn over the high school auditorium to Fighting Bob" Sawn and "Captain" c. w. Wilson, who announced that they would speak there at 7:30 last night, the fighting sailor and his manager left Prescott yesterday af- ternoon bound for parts unknown.
 On leaving the Head hotel about 4 o'clock in the afternoon they an nounced that they were going to Jerome, where they would organize anti-radical meetings, but at the serv- ice station where they took on gaso- lire before leaving the city they in quired the way to Ash Fork. As they were not registered at any hotel in Jerome last night, the suppostion is that they headed for Ash Fork, but whether this supposition is cor rect could not be ascertained up to a late hour.
 Wilson and Sawn were refused the use of the high school auditorium after members of the Prescott school board had heard Sawn's speech at the chamber of commerce luncheon yesterday, but the refusal was not based entirely on the fact that the high school auditorium is not gen orally loaned for political meetings. The real cause of the boards re- iusal lay rather ill the suspicious aroused as to Sawn and Wilson's credentials.
 Following the receipt of a tele- gram from the American Legion in New York to the effect that the two men did not represent that or ganization and were unknown in le- zion work there, contrary to the evidence of the hotel register in this city, on which the travellers had signed as from American Legion, New York" the school authorities began to wonder if Captain" Will son was really captain and Fight ing Bob" really had right to wear the uniform in which he appeared while in Prescott.
 These suspicious were strengthen ed later in the afternoon when Post Commander w. NJ. Roberts, received another wire, this time from the na- tional headquarters of the legion, in Indianapolis, Ind. This wire was as follows:
 National headquarters has no knowledge of any Captain G. W. Wilson and Robert Sawn, represent ing themselves to be connected with the American Legion. Upon receipt of this wire, please interview both men in presence of witnesses, get ting their story and wiring details to national headquarters for pub licity purposes. Russell G. Crevis- ton"
 This telegram came in reply to a wire sent by Commander Roberts after Wilson had assured him that the local legion post would be mo- titled by letter from national head quarters that he and Sawn were on the square and merited the co-opera- ton of the Prescott legionaires. In- asmuch as such a letter would take several days to reach this city, Rob- erts asked the Indianapolis office for an immediate telegraphic report on Fighting Bob" When the report came, Sawn and Wilson had already i left the city.

CLARA SMITH RAMON FREED MURDER CHARGE.
CBy Associated Pressl


 ARDMORE, Okla, March 17.- Clara Smith Hamon today was ac- quilted on the charge of having murdered Jake L. Hamon, republi- can national committeeman from Oklahoma, and millionaire railroad and oil promoter.
 The jury was given the case at 4:30 p. m. and returned to the court room 40 minutes later.
 Only One Ballot Taken
 B. F. C. Laughridge, the 73-year- old foreman, said that only one bal lot was taken, a secret one being confirmed by a rising vote. Clara Hamon obtained the information fully seven minutes before the yer dict was rendered in open court and sat surrounded by her family, half smiling, half afraid to believe the mods of assurance that were bent toward her
 When Judge w. Champion mount ed the bench and received an affirm alive response to his question, "Gentlemen, have you reached a yer dict?" her eyes intcntly followed the bailiff as he received the verdict from Laughridge and handed it to the clerk, who read it in a nervous voice.
 Tears Follow Verdict
 Clara Hamon gasped audibly in the tehsely silent court room, drop ped forward in her seat only to be seized from behind by her younger brother, Jimmie, who squeezed her and kissed her. Tears came to her eyes and other members of her family cried with her as she crossed to the standing jurors and | haltingly thanked them.
 The defendant came to the press room to thank the newspaper work CTS, holding the arms of Sheriff | Buck Garrett and her brother and | with tears streaming down her face, said; T am the happiest woman in the world"
 Escapes the Crowd She used the secret passage from the court room to escape the crowds which threatened to overwhelm her, and went to lower floor of the building where she received congrat- llations.
 Tonight her plans for the future were incomplete, she and members of her counsel said She is consid- ering a number of business proposi- lions, according to Walter Scott, of Fort Worth, Texas, one of her
