FOUND HE HAD PAID
 LIQUOR PRICES FUR
 BOTTLES IF WATER

With the "wet'' goods delivered and paid for and all preparations com plete for the proper celebration of Christmas, a prominent Salt River valley rancher and several of his friends were greatly chagrined to find upon opening the liquor that they had purchased 35 bottles or ordinary wa ter and one bottle of real tequila. ac- cording to the testimony of the rancher yesterday at the preliminary hearing of Seymore Thomas and Harry Whitman before United States Commissioner John B. Henke on a charge of conspiracy. Thomas and Whitman were held to answer to the federal court on the charge and their bonds fixed in the sum of s3500 each.
 The rancher said he met Thomas and Whitman on Nov. 19 in Nogales during the Elks ball game in that city. Thomas told him. he said. that he would be in Phoenix before Christmas with a load of tequila. On Dec. 16, the rancher testified. he met Thomas on the street in Phoenix and was asked by Thomas how much of the liquor he wanted After several meetings with Thomas and Whitman and receiving a sample of the te- quila, the rancher said he made ar engagements with Thomas for the de- livery to him at his ranch of three cases of tequila, at $50 a case, fol himself and friends.
 The liquor, he said, was to have
 been delivered on Dec. 20. but fol
 some reason Thomas was unable tC make delivery and the date was se- for the next day. The rancher saiC he met Thomas and Whitman at hi: ranch and they drove to the place where the stuff was cached. Arriv. ing there, he said. the sacks wer, transferred to his car. but before h.
 paid over the $50 he demanded ( sample of the tequila, whereupon on' of the sacks was ripped open and |; bottle removed. It proved to be req ltequila, he said, and the deal wa | made.
 Later. the rancher said, upon open ing other bottles in the three cases they proved to be filled with water and he made a report to the police
 who arrested Thomas and Whitman and turned them over to the fedora authorities. After an investigation federal officials filed a charge of con
 spiracy against Thomas and Whit man.

JAIL ID BE REMODELED
 AND REF|TT TED
Improvements To Be Made In Near Future To h. clude New Airy Cells and Shower Bath Facilities

Plans are now being considered for the complete remodeling and renovat- ing of the ely jail. Detailed blue prints for new system of cells are in the hands of City Manager V. A. Thompson and have been approved by Chief of Police George Brisbois.
 Among the improvements which will be introduced by the installation of new cells will be more light and ventilation, more freedom of move ment for the prisoners and a more secure jail. shower bath and wash room facilities and a lever system of operating the cell doors.
 Instead of being damned up against the walls, as most of the cells now are. the new ones will be open on all sides, corridor four feet in width separating them from the walls. The cells will form a large square which will serve as the bull pen" Over the cells and the pen in the center will be a heavy street grating. This will form a perfectly secure inclosure within the present cell room, giving double protection against escape.
 Gratings will be removed from the windows of the present cell room to admit more light and air. Through the partition which separates this room from the basement corridor double doors will be cut. When these doors are thown open there will be very satisfactory circulation of air throughout the cell room
 A shower bath and lavatory facil- ities will be installed in the bull pen" and similar improvements will be placed in a special cell for pris- oners held on serious charges. This cell will be large enough to contain four men
 All cells will be equipped with steel l cots which can be folded against the sides of the unoccupied cells. From the standpoint of safety and from the viewpoint of the jailer one | of the best features of the proposed new jaii system will be the installa- ton of levers to open and close all cell doors. At present the old fash | toned cell locks are turned with a key. Much trouble has been ex- | perienced with this method because | prisoners stuff the keyholes with chewing tobacco. gum and other filth. Under the system of levers the open ing and closing of one or all cell ! doors may be accomplished from a lever box located outside the cell room and inaccessible to any pris- oners.
 Of special interest to the taxpayers IS the fact that these cells are SC arranged thar they may be easily re-
 moved from one building to another
 so that in case a new jail is erected
 the same cells can be transferred tC | it.
 The plans have not progressed tS
 the point of getting cost estimatei
 on the work and material involved
 but the improvement is considered st
 necessary that every effort will b,
 exerted to rush il through at tn.
 earliest time practical.

Not far from the Legion building is

colors flew in the breezes from the
Gulf of Mexico until they were re-
placed by the French. The Louisiana
Purchase in 1904 resulted in the ap-

flag flew also in that vicinity for few
days. During the Civil war the Con-
federate colors waved proudly over
the southern city. When the wounds
of civil strife were healed the Stars

The Legion building will have an
