RUM PIRATE GIVEN
N|NE-M0NTH TERM
Captain Had to Stoke Coal
While Hi-jackers Put on
= "Bathtub Party"
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, December 9.-Max J.
Phaff, former TenneSSeean, whose
adventurous career has been marked
by charges of rum piracy on the high
seas laid against him both In france
and America, pleaded guilty yesterday
to violation of the prohibition laws
and was sentenced to nine montns
imprisonment in East View Penlten-
tiary.
Incidents surrounding Phaff's latest
arrest had a decidedly musical COM
edy flavor, although there was noth.
ing humorous about the charges or
piracy and prohibition law violation
laid against him and Is others.
Indictments returned on November
revealed that when prohibition
agents boarded the Elma, a former
lighthouse tender, they found ~ prog
ress a burlesque presentation of Earl
Carrolrs ''bathtub party" with a
bearded and bewigged hijacker seated
in the captains bathtub, while both
rum-runners and hijackers stood
about drinking champagne from the
tub with tin dippers.
Captain Becomes StOker.
IT was learned, the agents said,
that the hijackerS had planted one
IF their number on the Ellna Wnen

subsequently had captured the craft.
The captain of the Elma was forced
TO act =; stoker, while the hijackers
and the members of the rum-runnlng
crew. who surrendered, proceeded to
drink up the cargo and put on an
impromptu burleSQue of the bathtub
party which they heard about over
the Elma'S wireless.
No plea was made yesterday to the
piracy charge against Phaff, and it
was understood that this would not
be pressed.
J'haft was arrested on a charge of
pi acy in France in 1924 and, after
81 ending some time in Jail awaiting
tlaal, was released on bail pending
further action. He was accused of
having aided hijackers who raided the
French steamer Mulhouse off the New
sey coast when her cargo of liquor
and all the money in her safe were
stolen.
Phaff a Former Lawyer.
on his arraignment yesterday Phaff
told the court that he was a member
of the bar of the State of Tennessee,
WAS a graduate of the University of
Tennessee and that some years ago
he was employed in the offices of
the late Joseph II. Choate of this
city. He said he had practiced in
admiralty cases in United States Dis
trlct Court.
He always had been a law-abiding
citizen before meeting his fellow
conspirators and he said that financial
reyerseS had driven him to boot

trial in federal court here with his

becoming engrossed in his studies

the idea of making counterfeit notes.

but later he reached a stage cf

some of the notes. This was done,

Douglas Daily Dispatch
Answering your editorial Of Feb.
10, 1926, youth and Crime"
! No doubt youth looks upon crime
rather lightly in the present day and
age and often steps into crime with
out realizing just what crime is, and
what he is doing.
The past week l have been fortunate
enough to serve on the jury in
Tombstone and there have been some
cases tried which have made deep
impression upon my mind, and no
doubt would do the same upon the
minds of many could they have
heard the entire examinations in each
case. Evil companionship was the
case of one man ending up with a.
guilty" verdict. The theft of articles
of clothing was the cause of another
guilty verdicts and another was
that of driving car while under
the influence of liquor. The crimes
do not have to be of very severe
nature, but the law is drastic when
the proof is at hand.
The thought occurred to me that
judge of the superior court invite the
classes of the various nigh schools in
the county to attend some trials
which he thought might convey some
idea of value to the minds of the
students. A realization that criminals
are caught and that justice is hand
ed out is great feeling of relief
which people do not very often feel
now days unless they happen to- be
on the jury.
The Cochise county court house is
too far away from the center of popu-
lation in Cochise county to make it
feasible to have high school classes
attend often, but to see the work
lngs of the court even once, to my
mind, would be of great value to
any student.
If any benefit is derived or any
interest in court proceedings is shown |
by the classes after they have visited |
the court it might be wise idea
to seriously consider building a mod |
srn court house in Bisbee or Douglas. |

Examinations For Naval
Academy Midshipmen to
Be Held Here March 20

Senator Ralph II. Cameron has
written to the Dispatch stating that
in accordance with his policy in the
past, he has arranged for the Civil
Service commission to conduct an
examination on March 20 in this
midshipmen to the United States
city to select for appointment three
naval academy at Annapolis to which
all Arizona youths between Is and
20 years of age are eligible.
The tests also will be held at
Phoenix, Prescott, Flagstaff, Tucson,
Globe, Clifton and Yuma.
Details on the examinations are
fully given in the following letter
from Cameron to the Douglas Dis
patch. He states:
Continuing my past policy Of
holding a competitive examination to
select for appointment three mid
shipmen to the United States naval
academy at Annapolis, to which all
Arizona young men are eligible, the
Civil Service commission at my re-
quest will hold such examination ON
March 20 at the following places:
Phoenix, Prescott, Flagstaff, Tue
son, Globe, Douglas, Clifton and
Yuma.
Candidates must be between 16 and
20 years of age. I must ask that
those who wish to take the prelim
mary examination submit to me be-
fore March 7, their full names, date
and place of birth, educational quail
ifications and length of residence in
If additional information is
desired, it can be secured either by
writing me direct or to the bureau
of navigation, navy department
Washington, D. G.
Nine selections will be made; the
three standing highest being desig-
mated as principals, the three next
highest first alternate and the next
three highest second alternate. The
question of political affiliation will
not enter into the appointment, but
in fairness to the many boys de-
string these appointments, 1 have
made it a policy to hold these ex-
aminations for the purpose of de-
termining who shall receive the ap-
pointments.
1t will be appreciated by me, and
am sure by all concerned, if you
will give this wide publicity.
Sincerely yours,
RALPH Fl. CAMERON.

ONLY 8 CASES
SCARLET FEVER
In QUARANTINE

Dr. z. Causey, city health officer
stated last night that there are at
present only eight cases of scarlet
fever under quarantine in Douglas
There is no cause for alarm, the
physician stated as some Of the cases
are now so far recovered that they
are no longer really cases. Fumiga-
tion is not preventive for the spread
of scarlet fever, the doctor added,
and the only sure preventive is
through prophylactic treatment or
immunization The former method
practically assures the recipient that
he will not have scarlet fever at
least over a period or three or four
weeks while the immunization pros
cess practically guarantees an indi-
vidual permanent repulsion of the
fever germs, Dr. Causey stated.

AUTOISTS MUST
GET LICENSES
IMMEDIATELY

Approximately half Of the automo-
bile drivers in Cochise county have
failed to secure drivers licenses. un.
der the provisions Of the state motor
vehicle act, according to George Hen
shaw, county assessor who points out
that prosecution may await those
who neglect to take out their driver
permits and have them in their pos
session at all times when driving a
car.
The provision of the motor vehicle
act in respect to the possession of
drivers licenses are very strict and
the law not only compels anyone who
drives a car, whether it be his own
or his neighbors or relatives, to
have one but keep it on his person
when driving car the county as
SCISSOR stated. Especially if driver
without his license, figured in a
wreck or mishap of some kind, which
called for investigation by the police
hight his neglect to secure the ne
cessary papers go hard with him."
Henshaw pointed out.
The drivers permit, however, is
to be of real service to the motorist
and automobile owner, for it will
serve as means of Identification
and aid the police in numerous ways
in running down stolen cars tho
county assessor said! 1t will greatly
aid county officials in keeping drunk
and reckless driving at a minimum
for a justice of the peace can take
that offenders permit away from
him 70 a mornth or more and refuse
him thereby the right to drive car,
during that time, it was stated.
Approximately 5000 automobile own
ers in the county have taken out
drivers licenses to date. Figuring
the ratio of drivers at two and one
half times to each car owner, which
has been established after a careful
checkup in California, Henshaw stat
ed that at least 5000 more should
have their drivers permits, as at
least that additional number adrive
car at some time during the yeaI,
Some 5000 cars have been registered
by Henshaw and his deputies in the
county to date, 400 behind the regis
tration figures of last year. The lax
ness of many car owners in applying
for their certificate of title, which
is required before an automobile IL
cense for 1926 can be issued, is be-
lieved by Henshaw for the hardness
of many who have failed to secure
their license plates.
