Yes, Well Get No Beer

Arizona and expect to quaff some

John w. Murphy says he can't.
mo intoxicating liquor can be
sold in Arizona" said the attorney
general this week when told OF the
ruling that medicinal beer is to be
manufactured for general distribu-
tion.
"The state law does not provide
for the sale of intoxicating liquor
for medicinal or any other pur-
poses," were the dishearten1ng
words spoken by the attorney gen
eral.
"The only way for the sick to
get their beer in Arizona will be
by repeal of the state dry law"
It~Yill be noted that the attor-
ney general assumes that the med
icinal beer is intoxicating liquor
while presumably the ruling of the
treasury department is based on
the supposition that the new con-
coction is not an alcoholic bever-
age.

WINSLOW OUTGROWS TOWN" FORM
OF GOVERNMENT; NEW CITY CHARTER
PROPOSED IS MORE MODERN PLAN

That Winslow has outgrown it's
present form of government and is
ready for incorporation under a
city charter has been felt for some
time here, and in all probability
the coming election will see the old
form changed to the new, accord
ing to reports issued from the office
of city clerk, Chas. Murphy this
week.
The handicaps of a town charter
are a detriment to growing city
of the size of Winslow, and the new
government, will be able to super
wise Winslow more efficiently and
in manner more in keeping with
modern ideas, according to those
sponsoring the movement.
Correspondence between City
Clerk Murphy and County Attorney
Phil A. Sawyer, have furnished in
formation regarding the steps nee
essary to change to the city stand
ards of government, and while it
is not necessary to detail the vari-
GUS styles of government under a
city charter, the method of making
the preliminary steps, should be OF
interest to every Winslowite.
The procedure of changing a
towns form of government is as
follows: The town council passes
an ordinance, declaring the change
from town to city government.
A board of fourteen freeholders
must be elected by the people at a
regular or special election to frame
the new charter. The charter thus
framed must be submitted to- the
people at election for approval, and
if approved by the people it must be
approved by the governor of the
state.
All ordinances and amendments
of the former form of government
are null and void sixty days after
the new charter is in effect, and
new ordinances must be framed.
Many of the present ordinances
are so worded as to be ineffective
and many more are obsolete, and
the efficiency of such a new gov
ernment, operating under ordin-
ances calculated to meet present
conditions, and so constructed as
to be enforceable under all cOndi-
tions, will be greatly increased, it
is pointed out.
The matter of the change will be
thoroughly gone into by the Wins
low town council at it's meeting
next Tuesday evening, and the or
dinance declaring the change will
be passed in time for the names OF
the proposed board of freeholders
to go on the ballot in the regular
election this spring.
A special election will be called
later to pass on the new charter.

WORLDS SERIES
WINNERS HERE
ENROUTE ETOEAST

A band of marauding Buccaneers
is the latest thing in the nature of
a celebrity or celebrities to drop
off a Santa Fe train and sniff the
breezes of the Meteor City, the
piratical visitors being none other
than the winners of the last world 5
series-the Pittsburgh Pirates.
Returning from a triumphant
tour of the Pacific coast, where
they mopped up all the local talent
and most of the big league clubs
sojourning on the west side, they
were enroute to Kansas City, where
they will circulate about, playing
more exhibition games in prepara-
tion for the big league season,
which opens near the first of May
Incidentally, is must be admitted
that the fat gates drawn by the ex-
hibition games will make the Pr
ates' training season an asset in
stead of a liability, even with a
large assortment of hungry rockies
to feed.
One question that is awaiting an
intrepid statistician, and one that
haunts the ball fan at this time OF
year, is how in the world can minor
leagues break into the income tax
column after the deluge of released
appeities begin to drift back from
big league camps to their proper
small-time environments?

PASSION WEEK IS
OBSERVED BY
LOCAL CHURCHES

The Protestant churches of Wins
low have united in the observance
of Passion Week, commemorative
evening by evening the events of
the last days of the Saviour's life
on earth, commencing with the
Triumphal Entry, when, at the
gates of Jerusalem, He received the
greatest honor of His career, and
eliminating in the crucifixion scene
on Calvary.
Monday evening, at the M. E.
church, Rev. Mr.. Hessell led the de-
votions with the double story of the
Triumph welcome and the wither-
ing, next morning, of the barren
Fig tree, drawing a strong lesson
of the contrast between the mock
cry of that acclaim by the mob and
the real devotion and the love with
which millions today exhalt Him in
heart and life.
Tuesday, DR.. Hayden gave swift
review of the crowded events of
that day, showing how, in those last
days together, Jesus was gently
drawing the disciples closer to
Himself and preparing them for the
separation so close at hand; and
teaching us that the bitterest and
most prolonged struggles of life are
but preparation for the new life
and the light beyond.
BY a misunderstanding, the We'd
nesday evening service was at first
gathered partly at the Christian and
partly at the M. e. churches, later
uniting at the latter place in what
was one of the most impressive
meetings of the week.
Mrs. Florence Day led the study
bringing a fine lesson from the per-
iods of retirement in the lives Of
many great Bible leaders, and
showing the effect on character and
life, especially in this time when We
so forget the necessity of quietude
and thought for the growth of the
inner life.
Thursday, at the Baptist church
the service was led by Rev. Mr.
Hessell, stressing the close init
macy of the final teaching of the
hours together when Jesus inst1-
tuted The Lords Supper and gave
the promise of the MANY Man
sions."
Tonight, Friday, at the Baptist
church, DR.. Hayden will tell the
story of the crucifixion, the climaz
of the great drama of salvation.
The entire series has been char
acterized by an increasing attend
ance and deepening interest from
night to night, and it is believed
that tonight's service, with its
memorial of the great sacrifice, Will
be the climax of what has been q
most satisfying union of the vari-
Gus churches in the spirit of true
reverence and worship.

SWEENEY HEARING
IS CONT INU ED
UNTIL APRIL 18TH

Following taking Of testimony Oc-
cupying practically the whole day
last Friday, the investigation of
the charges brought against j. l..
Sweeney, local attorney before the
State Bar Association, was continu
ed by the committee of the bar as
sociation sent here to investigate,
until about April 18th, when the
hearing will be concluded.
At the hearing held Friday at
the city hall, a number of witnesses
testified before the commission tell
ing of acts alleged to have been
committed by Sweeney, in the prac-
tice of law in the county, and due
to the fact that there was not
enough time in which to complete
the hearing and hear the accused
attorneys side of the matter the
committee decided to continue the
hearing until sometime around
April 18th, when Sweeney will be
allowed to testify and introduce
witnesses in refutation of the
charges.
The local man stoutly denies
that he is guilty of any of the
charges brought against him, and
says it is the work of professional
rivals, and is confident he will be
able to prove the charges unfound-
ed and unwarranted. His attorney
is ]. L. Sullivan of Prescott, Coun-
ty Attorney P. A. Sawyer and AS

Optimistic ''Con
Men, Try Old Gag
On Merchants Here

That the wise crack made by the
late P. T., Barnum anent the birth
rate of suckers" has a counter
part in some old Spanish proverb
is evident from the deluge of let
ters received here recently, intend
ed to work the old Spanish Pris-
oner" gag on Winslow citizens and
merchants.
All the ICON men 'are not in the
centers of population, and is OBJ
viously not necessary to go away
from home to be gypped. An OBJ
scure village in Spain is the birth
place of the letters, and they are
sent out by the hundred to mer
chants in small towns all over the
country.
The plan works something like
this: A merchant who has been
spotted by means of a directory re-
ceives a letter from Spain, Spanish
stamp and all, addressed to him
at his business residence. The let
ter purports to have been relayed
through a friend, from an inmate
of a castillian hoosegow. The said
inmate is languishing in the Span
ish dungeon, unable to get out and
get handbag which he has check
ed in some Spanish Harvey House.
In the handbag reposes legal tender
in the sum of $360,000, one-third
of which is promised to the in
tended victim if he is interested
enough to put up bail, or court
costs, or some other legal deposit
to secure the release of the big
hearted owner of the bag.
Several local men have received
the epistles, among them Chas
Daze and F. H. Murphy, but it is
not believed that any Winslow
money has been sent to bail out
the unlucky jail-bird. Inasmuch as
the game has been a standard
"come-on" for over thirty years
the prisoner must have drawn quite
a long sentence.

OF CHAUTAUOUA

Advance notice from the publi-
city committee of Chautauqua
guarantor provides the pleasing
news that Chautauqua this year
Will bring to Winslow one of the
finest arrays Of talent ever to in
wade northern Arizona Broadcast
ing of this advice has resulted in
very gratifying rush for season
tickets, and little doubt is held
that the Chautauqua will be sue
cess from every standpoint.
The first performance, which is
slated for the evening of April 10th,
will take place in the Washington
auditorium, as will subsequent
performances, and will feature a
musical offering by Murrell Poor
Duo, and a lecture by S. j.. Powell.
Inasmuch as season tickets rep
resent a saving of more than half
the cost of single tickets, this
form of buying admission will be
the most popular. Tickets are on
sale in various downotwn stores
and business houses.
Able speakers will deliver lee
lures on subjects of interest to ev-
eryone; musical comedy will vie
with comedy drama, and the diver
sity of the five-day entertainment
will make an appeal to every low
er of this form of recreation.
