TEMPE BANDIT CASE
 ARGUED ON APPEAL IN SUPREME COURT

Three criminal cases were argued before the supreme court yesterday, including the appeal of Thomas Ro- mon. convicted and sentenced to death for the murder of August Heintze, II year old boy, in Tempe last January in connection with the holdup of the Baber-Jones store.
 The appeal was based on numerous points advanced by counsel for Ro- man who made the primary feature the fact that the first information against Roman was defective and withdrawn. and that the second in- formation was drawn without court order.
 George R. Hill, assistant attorney general, held that the court had the right to admit the substitute inform ation.
 Other errors claimed by Thalheim- CT and Hart and A. '. Moore, who represented Roman, were in the in structions and introduction of evil dence. The admission of confess sion made at Ca!abasas when Roman was lying wounded, following a pistol duel with immigration officers, was denounced by counsel.
 The case was one of the most sensational of the year. In the holdup of the store, H. C. Baber receiving dangerous injuries. Night Marshal c. M. Spangler was killed and a boy who ckanced to be passing fell a victim to one of the shots. and it was for his murder that Roman was sentenced to be hanged April 29, his appeal acting as a stay of execu- ton.
 With Victorano Martinez. alleged to be implicated in the crime, Roman made his way to the border, reach ing Calabasas, where immigration au- thorities engaged the two Mexicans in a pistol duel in which Martinez was killed. It was while Roman was suffering from his injuries that the which objection was offered yester- day.
 The case of A. C. Cook. appellant versus the State of Arizona, also was argued yesterday. The case has to do with the forgery of a check of C. G. Powell when he was superintend- ent. by Cool, and the third case that of Lewis Walker versus the State, is a statutory case in which the appel lant claims that improper questions were asked that tended to prejudice the jury.
 Other cases set for hearing yester- day were the Arizona Fire Insurance company. appellant, versus C. D. Dill ingham, appellee. and the Salt Rivel Valley Water Users association, ap- pellant. versus w. G. Palmer and R NJ. Tuckey. appellees. on motion ol counsel were passed for the term.

 AT AGENTS \ POUND

At a meeting of the board of di- rectors of the Arizona Cotton Grow CTS association held yesterday after noon it was decided to recommend that the price for cotton picking for the balance of the season beginning Oct. IF be at the rate of cents per pound for picking clean cotton.

TAXES LOSE FIGHT ON
 ANT|-PARKING ORDER

Taxicabs will no longer have the right to park in congested downtown districts of Phoenix, according to a ruling of the supreme court. The taxi owners gave up their fight. fail- ing to prosecute their appeal from the decision of the superior court of Maricopa county, which refused to enjoin the city from enforcing ordi- nance 423. which does not permit spe- cial parking privileges for taxicabs except in front of hotels having 50 or more rooms.
 Last spring the city commission passed an act making it unlawful for taxis to stand on the street any longer than the time allowed private car owners, except in front of hotels. The taxi men immediately began in- Junction proceedings and after the court held with the city, appealed to the supreme court.
 J. E. Nelson, assistant city attor- ney. asked the court to dismiss the appeal for want of prosecution and the moticn granted by the court will give more parking space to car own CTS down town on business
 Ut has inconvenienced car owners considerably in being unable to park in the business section because of the large amount tf space allotted to taxi owners, who blocked a good part of Washington street. Central avenue and other downtown sections. The taxicabs kept all day and night hours and occupied so much territory that a man or woman downtown on a few minutes business had difficulty in finding a nearby place to park" de- clared MT. Nelson after he was in- formed of the courts ruling on the matter. MT. Nelson said that the city department lad received a number oi complaints from car owners.
