Material progress has been made toward the reopening of the Central Bank, according to Charles W. Fair field, head of the state banking de- partment, on his return from San Francisco yesterday. While MT.

Prac- tically the unanimous agreement of the depositors to abide by the original plan for the re-opening increased the chances, declared MT. Fairfield.

HIGH COURT ID PASS
 IN RE-MARR|AGE IF
 DIvORCEEI IN YEAR

poes the Arizona law provide that one shall not marry within year after the granting of . divorce de- crees
 This is the question that has been nut up to the supreme court by the appeal of Mrs. Annie Crawford HOT ton from the decision of the lower court. where Judge Frank H. Lyman held that her marriage to l.. J. Hor- ion was void on the ground that it took place less than F months after her divorce from Crawford.
 Although the law reads that "one shall not marry for year within the state" Judge Lyman contended that in leaving the state to avoid the law the statute had been violated He declared the marriage void.
 The case was argued in the su- preme court yesterday and the aecl- sion will be awaited with interest Tn view of the fact that scores Of mar riages have been performed in which one or both of the principals have been divorced and married again be- for the expiration of the year.
 The supreme court never has been called upon to interpret the law, and it generally has been held that the marriage was legal when performed outside the state. California and New Mexico have been the scenes or many of the most notable weddings. The Horton marriage was one Of those taking place in New Mexico, the ceremony being held in Dening a few months after the divorce Of the bride.
 Some months before. Horton adver- tised for a nurse and received a re- sponse from Mrs. Crawford, who took care of him during a several months Illness At that time she is alleged 10 have complained of the treatment of her husband and to have borrowed s75 from Horton with which to ob- tain her divorce. Later, Horton claims. she prevailed upon him to make a will, leaving her his property. According to his allegations it was she who proposed maria ge. and after marriage her husband. who was many recrs her senior. objected 10 the
 ---- -- He brought annulment proceedings in which he charged Mrs. Horton with arranging the marriage when he was in a feeble mental and physic al state
 The annulment action was brought year and eight months after the marriage, and counsel for Mrs. Hor- ton contends that in waiting the year the marriage was ratified.

Stock Car Climbs Fish Creek Hill.
 On Apache Trail In High Gear

Wrapped up into a small bundle and tied with forty-'leven double bow knots, Fish Creek hill succunlb- ed last Sunday afternoon to a Paige Six-66, standard stock seven pas senger car which negotiated the bugbear for motorists in high gear seven times.
 Fish Creek hill has been an ob- stacle for motorists even in interme- diate gear for several years; in fact ever since the road became well nigh impossible in spots, as it is today. Although a number of cars have en- deayored to negotiate the hill in high gear, so far as is known none have succeeded within the last two years, or since the upper part of the hill has become nightmare.
 Without shock absorbers or snub- bers of any kind, with the top and windshield up, the big Paige bucked a heavy wind all the way up the hill.
 Leaving Phoenix Sunday morning at 10 o'clock, the Paige Six-66, driv- en by T. w. Watson, took the trail to Fish Creek. Accompanying Wat son were Grady Watson, Paul Col lings of the Republican; E. R. West Paige factory service man; L. Mich ner, R. E. Darnell, Alex Isabelle, c. R. Michner and Cap" Paddock of the fire department. Several of them rode in another Paige Six-66, owned and piloted by J. A. Albright.
 The distance from Watson Broth CTS showrooms on West Washington street to Tempe was made in 10 min utes flat Upon reaching the hill two of the party remained at the top to insure free passage of the car up the hill, unobstructed by any cars seeking to go down as the width ot the roadway is such that cars may pass each other only at certain places.
 Stationing the big touring car or the bridge at the, foot of the hill, the signal, 'Alls we'll" was flashed to the driver and his passengers, three in number, and the car started or high gear from a standing start, rounded the upper curve and was or it's way for the real test. Onward and upward, dropping into the deer trenches dug across the road for the water to escape from the roadway bouncing over the high rocks and the steep steps, spanning the dips and lunches, the great car wended its way toward the top. In spite oi the terrible punishment, the springs

PATRONS IF GRAND
 AVENUE STREET GAR
 LINE PRESENT CASE

That patrons of the Grand Avenue line are forced to walk to work in the morning and walk home at night because of the Phoenix Street rail- way schedule was the testimony pre- Sented before the corporation com mission yesterday. Men and women who must reach their place of em- ployment by o'clock can not depend upon the car service, as the first car leaves the Grand avenue end of the line at $40 o'clock according to the complaints. At night the same con- ditions exist and those who work later than $40 o'clock are forced to get home the best way they can, while it is claimed anything in the way of down town pleasure is ta- afterward. During the day the 2o- minute service is fairly adequate, testified residents of the district.
 That an earlier and later car will be operated at least for an experi- mental period was indicated by the commission at the conclusion of the hearing.
 The matter was brought to the at tention of the commission on petition for better service filed by Walter Schmidt and signed by 66 Grand ave- nue residents
 The petitioners were not repre- sented by counsel, appearances being made by MT. Schmidt, pr. D. V. De Saffery and D. R. Johnson, rate ex- pert with the corporation commits sion. who appeared as an individual
 There were some 30 others present Who were not given opp ,rtunity to testify since they had nothing to add
 to the testimony offered by the .hree
 principal witnesses.
 In 15 years, nr De Saffery stated there had been no improvement in car service. Because no GaBenderae
 could be placed On the m ,rning or
 night service he sad, ti.e traction
 company had no opportunity to test the volume of business. He testified ] to the growth Of that part of town,
 which he held warranted develop
 ment of car service.
 MT. Schmidt testified that men e,n- ] pioyed at the Arizona Eastern yards were unable to reach their work by ! z o'clock by taking the first car m ' the morning, while still others who 1 had later working hours couI1 not wait for the next car, which meant d | 40-minute wait During the day a 1 20-minute service was maintained | but at night when service was needed | it again lapsed to a I0-minute rate with the last car at $40 o'clock. He
 said he had spoken during a period embracing a number of wears to $. | H. Mitchell, street railway company | manager. and had received promises ' of better service.

untaped and without being tied down with snubbers or shock absorbers, withstood the strain magnficently. Never once did the wotor weaken as it lugged along with it's muffler booming, and within seven minutes from the start at the bridge, two miles below, the big car rolled over the top, still in high gear.
 Not satisfied with this one per- formance, the car was put through the test seven times, never boiling although the day Was hot and the wind bore down the hill brisllly.
 E. R. West of the Paige. factory. speaking of the performance, said: At no time were we bothered with motor heating. After pulling the hill even for the seventh time, the mo tormeter showed summer average. The average gasoline mileage, in cluding the hill climb, was Is miles per gallon, and the oil gauge was still at the full mark on the return to Phoenix. One quart of water was put into the radiator upon the start for home. The top and windshield were up when the car was pulling the grade and a stiff wind was blow ing against the machine. The stand ard gear ratio was 4.55 to l was used -~- every respect. After driving that hill on high gear, I will take off my hat to any car that will duplicate the performance of the Paige Six-66. She will certainly be some humding- CT if she pulls 1t with a standard gear ratio.''
 During the performance large crowd of people gathered along the wayside at points of vantage and many and enthusiastic were the com ments on the cars performance un- der such tremendous difficulty in the way of natural obstacles.
 The driving time to Phoenix from the hill. which is 63 miles from town was two hours and fortyfive min utes, no attempt being made to hang up a record on the run in. Upon ar rival in Phoenix the car was put on display in Watson Borthers' show rooms, where it WAS viewed by a large number of persons during the remainder of the afternoon and eve ming.
 No mechanical trouble was expe- rieneed whatever. and every nut and bolt on the car held it's place. A more remarkable demonstration would be hard to find, according to opinions heard on the street last night.

SOUND FOUR FIRE
 ALARMSDUR|NG DAY

Four fire alarms were sent to head quarters within 1 hours yesterday. The first was false alarm, followed by two rubbish fires and smoke scare. Calls on the two rubbish fires were only about 20 minutes apart. In both cases rubbish was being burned without permit from the fire de- partment and the flames had leaped beyond the control or the watchers.
 Because of the wind. permits were not issued for the burning of rub bish yesterday" Fire Chief Simmons said, and called attention to the ne- cessity for obtaining official sanction before lighting trash piles.
 The false alarm called the fire men out at 12:5s o'clock yesterday morning The two cefis to the rub bish fires came shortly before noon and the smoke scare call was sent in at 4:45 o'clock. The expense and work of the last run was caused

The battle of taxi fares will be waged in the hearing room of the corporation commission this morning.
 Taxi owners last week protested against the ''tw6-bit" competition recently developed here. A petition signed by operators of forhire cars led to the public hearing which will be held today.
 Claiming that the city made a rate by which the minimum charge was 50 cents taxi drivers are asking that the commission order the schedule enforced. They claim that if they meet the competition theyvwill be forced out of business, due to the operating expense and insurance they carry.
