County Officials to Open Campaign On Violators of Auto Lighting Law

violate the state law and will subject the driver to arrest. A car with only one headlight burning, MT. Shepherd said, is easily mistaken for motor cycle and might cause a serious colil- sion. Both MT. Shepherd and Sheriff Montgomery stated that officers would begin at once to enforce the law ana arrest all violators whether driving ln the city or in the county They ad- wise all motorists to take steps 10 com ply with the statutes relative to head lights and tail lights.
 The letter follows:
 "To All Persons Owning or Operating
 Motor driven Vehicles:
 "A number of complaints have been made to the sheriff and the county at torney relative to the violations by autoists of the state law relative to l the proper lighting of motor driven vehicles after night. It may serve a useful purpose and save some opera tors of motor cars the trouble and In- convenience of arrest and fine to quote 1 the law on this matter, which is as 1 follows:
 | Every motor vehicle while in use on public highway shall be provided with good and efficient brakes, ana
Arizona republican., 1921-03-11

Because of the many fragrant viola tions of the state law relative to the placing of proper lights on motor driven vehicles, Sheriff Montgomery and County Attorney Shepherd have issued letter warning that beginning at once all such violators of the stat utes will be arrested and taken before justice of the peace for the offense. If found guilty of the charge, the off cers declare, a stiff fine will be as- sessed each violator.
 The statutes are very plain on the subject, MT. Shepherd said yesterday, and should be easily understood by all car owners or operators. It is a viola tion of the state law, he said, to have more than two white lights visible from the front of the car and also a violation to have only one front light burning. The placing of a spotlight on the side of the car in addition to the two headlights. MT. Shepherd said, is violation of the statute as well as confusing to the driver of car going in the opposite direction because of the added glare the spotlight makes.
 Cars equipped with white or colored lights visible from the front, in addi- ton to the two headlights. he said

 in the direction toward which sucn vehicle is proceeding, and also red light visible in the reverse direction provided that motorcycles shall be re
 quired to exhibit but one white lign1y during the period herein specified y (Section 5135, Clause ?, Penal Code Of 1913)
 "The violation Of the preceding sec ton shall be a misdemeanor and the person guilty thereof shall be fined for each offense not less than 8 nor more
 than $50.

 that it is their intention to enforce this law at once.

LOCAL SALVATION
 ARMY COMMANDERS
 RETURN FROM COAST

Commandant and Mrs. Westacott of the Salvation Army have just returned from Los Angeles, where they attended conference of army officials with General Bramwell Booth and his staff They report that thousands of people attended meetings to hear the great leader of the world wide organization
 The Phoenix commanders on their return found a great stack of work which had accumulated during their absence, awaiting them here. It was announced last night that they are prepared to meet the calls in their charity work. Any persons having clothing. food, furniture, shoes or the like to dispose of are asked to give 1t to the Salvation Army for the poor of the city. Articles will be called for.
 The Salvation Army's Relief home here is open and in full operation on First Street. Homeless men are pro- vided cot beds and given meals, and work is found for the workless as far as possible, to pay for the lodgings given Poor families are provided for from the Salvation Army store at Sec ond and Jefferson streets.
 Inadequate funds and room to meet the demands on the Salvation Army here are cited as another argument in | favor of universal support of the armys home service campaign, to be staged March 21 to 2S. From the funds Opbt1AhcA IL IS lO erect a three or four story building in Phoenix. where the needy will be cared for and all branches of the army's work car ried on
 Scores of cases Of despair and hun ger are reported to local Salvation Army officers daily, and Commandant Westacott last night asked that all friends of the organization keep the campaign dates in mind. Cheeks may be made out to the Salvation Army while solicitors for funds will carry 1 proper credentials

Need 4 Big Motor
 Truck? Then Here's
 Real Bargain Offer

Society leaders as demonstrators of trucks may result from recent donation to the Red Cross Shop and Salvage in the form of an automo- bile truck.
 In view of the fact that many of the Red Cross workers during the war were in the motor corps, there are unquestionably a beVy ot girls and young matrons who know enough about cars to handle the big Olds and discuss it's good points with prospective purchasers.
 If they could sell a hearse, why not truck, which is much more of a live proposition?
 The truck, according to expert testimony, is in excellent condition, and can be had for the paltry sum of S20o-yes, two hundred dollars.
 1t can be seen at the shop head quarters on East Jefferson street. The demonstration course has not been mapped out, but it can be tried out over paved roads and otherwise.
 1t was announced yesterday that one of the three hearses donated has been sold- The sales of Feb ruary added several hundred dollars to the treasury, $200 of which was donated to the Associated Charities by action of the board of directors of the Red Cross yesterday after noon.

GIVEN DECREE IN
 CROSS COMPLAINT

After having the case under advise ment for several days, Judge Jenckes yesterday granted Anna L. Hansen a decree of divorce from William F. Hansen on a cross complaint Hanson brought the suit for a divorce from his wife on grounds of desertion and she filed a cross complaint declaring him to be a deserter instead of her self. The case was heard on March ' and Judge Jenckes ordered at that time that Hansen pay to his wife s75 a month for the support of herself and their two minor children
 Hansen claimed in his suit his wife took their two children and went to Colorado in April, 1919 Mrs. Hansen in her cross complaint denied she had deserted him, but said she had gone at bis request to visit her parents in Colorado. In the fall of 1918, she said, she wrote him for funds to re- turn to Phoenix and he refused to send them. She then borrowed money, she said, and came to Phoenix in No- vember, 1919, when her husband re- fused to furnish a home for herself and children and refused to live with them.

BURGLAR KILLED
 AS HE RUNS FROM HOUSE HE ROBBED
Mexican Is Surprised While Ransacking Residence At 515 North First Street Bullets Halt His Escape

An unidentified Mexican. surprised while burglarizing the home of H. Rose, 515 North First street, at g: 30 o'clock last night. was shot and killed while running from the house by Po- liceman G. l.. Strathy After calling on the man to halt, Strathy fired three
 shots. all of them taking effect. One bullet entered the head and the two others took effect near the heart.
 Mrs. Margaret Kersting. who lives
 at 519 North First street, called police
 headquarters last night and reported
 that a burglar was entering house
 at 511 North First street. Captain Sutherland, with Officers Frasier, Buck and Srathy. rushed to the ad
 dress given. Strathy and Frasier were detailed to approach the house from the alley, while Captain Sutherland and Buck went to the front. Flashing a light on the number, Officer Buck discovered it was 515, and was about to go to the address reported over the telephone when voice from an ad- joining apartment house informed the
 police that the burglar was in 515. A coroner's jury last night brought in a verdict that an unknown man died
 as a result Of gunshot fired by officer in discharge of duty
 Three pairs of socks and a watch found on the person of the dead man
 were identified as property which had been removed from 515 North First street. Police believe that other arti- cles were thrown away during the chase and will conduct a thorough search today
 House Is Ransacked According ta Policeman Buck. who
 made an investigation, entrance to the Rose home had been made by cutting the glass of the front window The interior of the house had been thor oughly ransacked. Another window leading to sleeping porch, had been
 broken. The exit was made through a rear screen door. There was no one at the house at the time of the rob bery.
 Mexican who was killed has been re-
 sponsible for many recent robberies He was positively identified by In spector McGrath as a suspect who es-
 caped him a week ago last Monday
 night. At this time McGrath was in
 an automobile and the Mexican was
 on bicycle. Regarding the Mexican with suspicion, McGrath called upon him to halt. The Mexican fled and disappeared before the officer could
 get out of the car. Giving chase, Mo Grath picked up pair of shoes dropped by the Mexican, and later 1 identified by Doane Merrill as having
 been stolen from his house. This in l cident was early in the night Police
 received three reports later that night
 from people whose homes in that vii cinity had been robbed while they
 were absent. An effort will be made 1 to identify the Mexican by the finger
 print method today. The body is at l the Merryman undertaking establish
