JURY FREES ONE,
 CONNECTS ANOTHER.
 Ol SAME CHARGE

The ring of truth and candor in a story told from the witness chair in the federal court yesterday resulted in the freedom of one man accused of a felony and the conviction of his partner charged with the same of Tense. For the jury it was a simple case Of listening to two accounts of the same transaction told by the two men concerned in it, and accepting that rendition which sounded truest and most sincere. and that Eddie Mil Ter is now a free man and his com panion, Emmet Meeks, is awaiting sentence by Judge Jeremiah Neterer. is, in the opinion of those who lis tened to the case, due wholly to the fact that Miller told the truth
 Miller and Meeks were charged with the interstate transportation of a stolen automobile in viola ton of the Dyer act. The machine was alleged to have been stolen in Los Angeles and brought to Phoenix. Here it was damaged. and the two young men were arrested by the sheriff's office as suspicious characters after they had left the broken car on desert road and had beaten their way back to Phoenix. Both were made defend
 
 of the Dyer act, and as defendants their stories were told on the witness stand yesterday.
 Meeks declared that h. had brought the machine to Phoenix with the thought of returning immediately to IzDs Angeles with the car, which had been rented by him. Miller then took the stand and told simply that the machine had been driven to Phoenix with no thought of returning it to the coast city. and that he had accom- panied Meeks only because the trip meant that he would be closer by 500 miles to Tulsa, Okla. to which city he was going originally, and that he had no idea of what Meells' plans were. His story was told So simply and directly that predictions of the result of the trial were made even before he left the witness stand predictions which were borne out by ! the verdict, which convicted Meeks and absolved Miller. Sentence against | Meeks was deferred.
 This was the only case heard fir ! the court during the day, Sentence against David B. Driscoll. accused oi violation of the national prohibition amendment, was passed and then re- | scinded by Judge Neterer at the re 1 quest of counsel for the accused Judge Neterer will pass sentence or !

PROMISE B|G TREAT
 IN READING FRIDAY

The Phoenix Junior College is planning big things for the near fu- ture. Owing to the fact that they have a big football game scheduled with the Northern Arizona Normal they must raise money to bring the Flagstaff bunch down here.
 Therefore, on Friday night, No vember 4, at o'clock they are pre- senting a program at the high school auditorium which will prove very in teresting to all. The main event of the evening will be the dramatic reading, "The Merchant of Venice" by Mrs. J. O. Creager. This alone will be worth far more than the price of admission.
 The Canton, Ohio, Democrat says:
 Mrs. Creager had not been heard here for several years. An expectant audience which completely filled the large auditorium gave her a heart warming welcome. She has a quiet, graceful poise of manner, and voice whose appealing melody fingers long in the ear. In her soft trailing gown of pure white she was a vision of loveliness. Her reading was one continuous delight. It is a pity that Mrs. Creager, with all her ability and training, should choose to ap- pear so seldom in public She has spent years of careful study with the greatest teachers in America today. Her work is so polished and withal so full of the warm human qualities which speak of wide sympathy and infinite tenderness.
 Other features which will add ma terially to the program of Friday evening at the high school audi torium are: Several numbers by the high school orchestra; two numbers by the boys glee club, and a piano solo.

CANCER, SUBJECT IF. TALK TO KIWANANS
 BY DR. 4. M. TUTH|LL

Cancer and the care which should be exercised by the individual against its onslaught were the themes upon which Dr. A. NJ. Tuthill built at the regular weekly luncheon of. the Kiwanis club perhaps the most important address which the club has heard during the year. His speech was directed to the layman, and was a careful and straight forward talk about dread disease in language which everyone could understand
 After outlining the symptoms of the disease and the indications which predicate its appearance, Dr. Tuthill entered upon an examination of the means which should be taken for its eradication. He laid special stress upon the necessity of having a physician examine every suspicious growth or tumor, and warned his hearers against the false modesty which prevents those having cancer from revealing the fact or even hsk- ing their family doctors about it. The talk was made as a part of the campaign being carried on through out the United States for the erad- ication of this plague. which is responsible yearly for the death of 1S0,000 people, or twice as many as died from all cause in the American army during the great war.
 The meeting yesterday of the Xii wanis club was opened by President Royal w. Lescher, who started the program by introducing Mrs. w R. Battin and Mrs. ". F. Deity, both of the Musical Events club. Mrs. Battin then sang Under the Green wood Tree" Buzzi Puccia. and "The Old Road John Prindle Scott. Mrs. Deity accompanying her at the piano.
 Dr. W. B. Wilkinson, chairman of the day, then took over the direction of the meeting, opening the speaking program by introducing Dr. Tuthill, whom he characterized as the dean of the medical fraternity in Arizona.
 Following Dr. Tuthill's address. Jack Martin. delegate to the district convention of Kiwanis clubs at Al buquerque, N: M. gave what was declared to have been the most complete report of a district con- vention ever rendered here. James Shelly, of the junior college, then made a brief announcement of the recital to be given by Mrs. J. Q Craeger, dramatic reader, at the high school auditorium Friday evening IT the interest of the junior college athletic fund. and then Dr. David l. Liknaitz. rabbi of congregation Beth Israel, made a stirring appeal for the support of the members of the Kiwanis club for the winters pro- gram of the Musical Events club. The attendance prize. three sacks I of flour, donated by Al Niault. was won by Dr. Tuthill. Al Lytle will donate the prize next week.
