 the big four brotherhoods and af- fi1iated railroad unions tonight de-

 railway employees had voted for a general strike rather than accept a wage reduction but announced that the conservative counsel of the lead CTS might prevail against walkout

Heres a Record For Speedy Work
 By Classified Ad

Service is often implied, like the malice the judge tells about in instructing a homicide jury. An example of such service was furnished by the JOURNAL MINER yesterday.
 Barney Smith lost a tire Sun day afternoon while driving north of the city.
 L. L. Bates found it and it was in the office with a LOST advertisement on file for this mornings MARKET PLACE.
 At noon, MT. Smith, knowing that the JOURNAL MINER was the clearing house for Wants" called at the office and inquired about tires, if any, found on the road. He got his tire.
 That was a case where the want ad got results before it was printed. WHY? Because it represented not an actual ad- vertisement but a potential one. The prestige of JOURNAL MINER classified advertising, did the business.
 What that prestige did for Barney Smith, it will do for you!

 Arbuckle, charged with the murder Eof Virginia Rappe. denied tonight

 oxtort money from the defendant. i The charge was made in court to-
 day by Frank Dominguez, one of
 Arbuckle's attorneys, and was
 brought before the grand jury by District Attorney Matthew Brady. The grand jury adjourned, it was said, without taking any action.
 After reappearing from the jury room, Semnacher declared to a group of newspapermen that he would at once telegraph his attorney in Los Angeles to prepare a suit against Dominguez alleging defamation of character.
 Semnacher was accused by Domin- guez of having conspired with Mrs. Bambina Delmont. the complaining witness against Arbuckle, to take torn parts of the clothing of Miss Rappe to Los Angeles for the purpose of extorting money from the defendant
 Dominguez made his assertion after long questioning of Semnacher regarding his previous testimony in the case. Dominguez declared that previous conduct of Mrs. Delmont in Los Angeles. where, he said, she made claims against a man named Earl Lynn, lent color to his accusa- ton.
 Police Judge Lazarus, before whom the hearing is being held, refused. however, to allow Dominguez to question Semnacher along this line. saying it had no part in the present

PHOENIX, Sept. 26-Propaganda against high taxes is the thing these days; counter-attacking with facts, the state government shows how fu- tile is the declaration that road pro- jects have boosted the levies above all reason.
 Figures for state road levies, using the biennials from July 1, 19l9-July l, 1921 as compared with the similar period l92l-1923, prove the fallacy of the anti-administration's cry that Tom Maddock's road policy is peel ing the hide off the already burdened taxpayer.

3. One-half the juvenile work.

The two judges spent considerable time the past few days going over published court rules of other coun- ties and formulating a code for the governance of practice here. It is intimated that there are some dras- tic changes involved in the tentative draft made by Judges Sweeney and Lamson. Final decision will be made on the rules after the lawyers prac- ticiEg before the local bar have had an opportunity to discuss the rules in detail. The next regular meeting of the bar association will probably make this matter the chief order Of business.
 When agreed upon by all interest ed parties. the rules will be published by the court in the form of a con- venient pamphlet
 Division of cases is usually agreed upon where more than one judge is presiding in one court In Maricopa, Cochise and Yavapai counties, this state, there is more than one judge, and in each county, the court work is divided according to some prear- ranged plan.
 Judge Lamson is regarded as specially qualified for probate work, as much of his practice prior to his appointment to the bench was with this sort of law. Judge Sweeney has achieved an enviable record in crim- inal work and has handled some notable civil cases since his first ap- pointment to the superior bench.
 The juvenile work of Yavapai county has starred this county throughout tine southwest. Yavapai is the leading county in the state in this respect. No less an authority than Mrs. H. A. Guild, now visiting here in her capacity as director of the state welfare work, has words of the highest praise for the principles upon which the youngsters are guild ed here.

RETRENCHMENT
 STIMULkNT TO
 UNEMPL OYMENT

New York, Oct 24-Protracted bus mess depression and the necessity for to business men of this city the truth of the old school-book bromide: ''Ne- cessity is the mother of invention.''
 Incidentally, this slashing of ex- penses by industrial concerns has con- tributed to the seriousness of the un- employment situation, already acute here.
 The Peterborough Rapid Transit company, which operates the subway and elevated lines, has recently abol- ished hundreds of guards on it's trains. through introduction of an automatic device which opens and closes doors and signals 'tGo ahead to the motor man. At present this device requires about three or four employees to a 10- or 15-car train, but another invention is being experimented with in the hope of being able to accomplish the entire operation of opening and shut ting the car doors without manual aid.
 Along the same line a great theatri- cal enterprise found it's billboard ex- pense so high it combined a desire to aid the unemployment situation with its advertising enterprise. The sand wich man." that familiar figure on the streets of New York city, who ambles about among crowds wearing two sided sign dra. ed over his front and back, has found His field of endeavor broadened. Heretofore he was con- fined to cheap restaurants, cabarets and cafes. Now he hera1dS to Broad way the charms of some Winter Gar den beauty or some new or old favor ite exponent of the terpischorean art.
 Book publishers, department stores, dentists, shoe-polishing establish ments, drug stores and movie houses have joined the movement to give em- ployment to these men, who might otherwise find themselves destitute.
 Sensational and sporadi efforts to relieve the jobless have made little headway here. Urban Ledeoux, who came here from Boston to "auction off, unemployed in Bryant Park, had but little success.
 The Industrial Aid Bureau, mu- nicipa1 organization, is finding jobs for about 100 applicants daily. This bureau supplies both skilled and un- skilled laborers to industrial estab- lishments and has first call upon all vacancies in the various city depart ments.
 The "conductorette,' who became a part of the city's scenery during the late European unpleasantness, has completely disappeared. The large number of unemployed street car con ductors combined with the introduce ton of one-man cars to send her back to the kitchen and factory.
 While there are no municipal meas ures for relief of the unemployed con- templated immediately, city authori- ties believe industrial enterprises will quickly absorb the jobless with the increased business expected between now and the Christmas holidays in all lines of trade.

HIGHBALL IS TRAIN FOR
 FISHERMEN

Duluth, Minn., Oct. 24.-There is a tramp train on the Duluth and Iron Range railroad running up into the morth woods that has gone on for year after year unheeding the ad- vance of progress The train is known as the Hfghba11. She makes her nightly flight into the north woods for the accommodation of lumber jacks, sportive fishermen, hunters and seekers of work, picking up as a side issue a parcel of hogs or a herd of sheep.
 The TIighbal1 is composed of box cars, one wooden passenger coach, a combination smoker and baggage car and then a caboose, the latter serving also as a sleeping ear.
 So the. Highball wends her merry way almost unheedful of a. schedule, for she will drop off a fisherman or a hunter in any hour in the dead of might at any place he chooses to Se- feet, station or no station; or one of the crew may wish to dig a bushel of potatoes growing in the field near the tracks The Highball waits. Or it may stop at a little cottage just around a curve where a little woman is nursing back to health a husband with a cough. The Highbau stops while the crew takes up a collection of butter, eggs and potatoes gathered along the right of way.
 Truly, the Highball is unique as train running in this advanced age.
