7 WO MEN CAUGHT
HERE WILL FACE
ROBBERY CHARGE
Buster Hartley and Lloyd Fuller
Are Bound Over to the Superior
Court on Bond of $500 Each
and Charged With Robbing Aged
Phoenix Man.

Buster Hartley and Lloyd Fuller,
arrested in Tempe last week as
suspected highwaymen, were charged
with robbery and bound over to the
Superior Court last Tuesday when
arraigned for preliminary hearing
before Justice of the Peace Ice at
Phoenix. Bond for each man was
fixed at $2500 and both entered
pleas of not guilty. It is expected
that from 60 to 90 days will elapse
before they will be tried, as the
Criminal Court docket for Maricopa
County is now crowded.
Hartley and Fuller were arrested
in the lobby of the Casa Iona Hotel
by officers from Phoenix after City
Marshal Mcdonald and Night Watch
man Robert Smith had given them
the "once over" at suggestion of
local men who became suspicious of
the pair because of their nervous
ness. After coming here from Phoe-
nix in taxicab and renting a room
at the Olive Rooming House, the
two bought tickets for Tucson al
the stage office. This unusual pro-
cedure aroused suspicious of local
men and Marshal Mcdonald was
notified.
When arrested, the men hac
about $500 in their possession ant
one carried a revolver. They are
charged with holding up and rob
bing Jesse Maycloud, IA, of Soutl
Central avenue, Phoenix, of $500
in $1O0 and 500 bills. Money O.
this denomination was found in theil
possession, officers said, and May
cloud positively identified them il
court as the men who robbed him
Maycloud said they wore no mask
and that one held him while the
other took the money from hi
pockets.

CITY HALL WORK
NOW COMPL

Work of repairing and repainting
the City Hall at an approximate cost
of $1400 is about completed and
the offices Of the city officials will
soon be doing business in it again,
j. A. Wellington, superintendent of
public utilities, announced yester-
day. For the past few weeks City
Clerk Ensign and Mr.. Wellington
have been using small office at
the corner of Mill avenue and Fifth
street for their official work.
The work done on the City Hall
consisted of repairing the roof, re-
placing a part of the cement steps
in front of the structure, sanding
and vanishing the floors and CIV
ing all outside and interior wood
work and the walls two coats of
paint, Mr.. Wellington said. The
work is about completed, but the
rubbish left by workmen has not
yet been cleared away.
Mr.. Wellington said the building
was now ready for occupancy, but
CnaC ne ana Mf. Ensign probably
would not move their offices back
into it until it has been thoroughly
cleaned and all rubbish removed
from the grounds. Much favorable
comment has been heard about town
on the immaculate appearance of
the City Hall since it received the
last coat of white paint.
Citizens of Tempe are now point
ing with pride to the building hous-
ing the offices of the town officials
and all are confident that Tempe
now has one of the most up-to-date
city halls Of any town of the State.
Part of the expense of repairing
the City Hall will be borne by the
city and part by Maricopa County,
Mr.. Wellington said.

GET STOCKYARDS
JUDGED NUISANCE

Declared Nuisance and Con-
demned Is Discussed at Recent
Meeting of Tempe Civic Club.

Proceedings to have the stock
yards condemned and declared a
nuisance so a court order for their
removal from the city limits can
be obtained may be started as the
result of discussion at the recent
monthly meeting of the Tempe
Civic Club.
A resolution introduced by E. P.
Carr for appointment of Civic
Club committee to wait on Mayor

city government in efforts to have
the stockyards moved was unani-
mously carried. Tany Nelson, Ed
Decker and j. B. Flumerfelt were
named on the committee.
City Attorney R. H. Alexander
said he was willing to start con-
demnation proceedings against the
railroad to have the stockyards de-
clared a nuisance whenever the
citizens of Tempe were ready to
get behind the movement. The
committee will first communicate
with railroad officials regarding
possibility of the yards being moved
voluntarily. 1t was stated that
railroad officials have been con-
sidering location for the stock
yards that would be accessible for
all steckmen on the South Side.

Be ZACH POOL MAY
START SEASON IN
MIDDLE Of APRIL
Work of Putting Tempe Beach Pool
to Start Soon-Fully $1,000 Will
Be Expended on Buildings and
Other improvements.

Tempe Beach swimming pool, the
largest artificial pool in the entire
State, will be opened to bathers on
April Is, weather permitting, E. P.
Carr, president of the Tempe Beach
Association, announced yesterday.
''The pool will be in readiness for
bathers by April 15," Mr.. Carr said.
"We expect to start workmen get
ting it in readiness by the middle
of this month. Fully $1,000 will
be expended in improvements be-
fore the pool is opened this year.
The entire pool will be painted. A
new building for checking all cloth
ing and valuables and for a COM
missary will be constructed. We
intend that no complaint will be
made this season at the pool be-
cause of loss to bathers through
theft of clothing and valuables. The
commissary is to be installed for
convenience of bathers and fami-
lies spending the day at the pool
Attendants are to be employed to
care for children using the pool and
mothers need not worry about their
youngsters if they are there, Mr.
Carr said. Considerable work is tc
be done on the grounds and fittings
for the pool. Everything about il
is to be put in first-class shape be.
fore the opening, it was announced
Because it is the only pool in
Arizona where the American Red
Cross first aid instructors conduct
classes, Tempe Beach pool is one
of the most popular in the State. A
class of first aid instructors comes
here every year to give instruction
in first aid and life saving.
Present information indicates that
the Red Cross team will be here
some time in May, Mr.. Carr said.
But this is only a tentative date.
Announcement will be made later
regarding the exact time the in
structors will arrive.
About so bathers were given first
aid instruction at Tempe Beach pool
last season. Many of these men
and women are from distant parts
Of the State. They come to Tempe
because it is not only the best pool
in the State, but also because it is
the only pool in Arizona where this
instruction may be obtained.
Tempe Civic Club, because of it's
membership in the American Ath-
letic Union, is the only organiza-
tipn in the State, with the excep-
ton of the State University, that
can stage swimming matches under
rules assuring contestants that any
records made will be given full
credit all over the Nation and world.
Several contests under auspices of
the Tempe Civic Club are staged
at the pool each year.
Sixty thousand persons visited
the pool last season. More than
$4,000 used the pool. 1t is ex-
pected by Mr.. Carr and his asso-
ciates that this record will be broken
during the coming season.

CASA Iona HOTEL
Ezra w. Thayer, Phoenix Capitalist,
Becomes Associate of Local Men
in Development of Hotel Here for
High-Class Tourist Patronage.

Ezra w. Thayer, Phoenix capi-
talist and mining man, has pur-
chased one-fourth interest in the
Casa Iona Hotel, recently acquired
by Sam Carter, Frank Fogel and
Wayne Ritter, all local men. Thayer
also is fourth owner of the four
business buildings just north of the
hotel on Mill avenue, recently pur-
chased by the new owners of the
hotel to assure them ample space
for future development of the hotel
and its allied businesses.
Entrance of Thayer into the joint
ownership of the hotel has some
what changed the original plans for
remodeling the famous Sunshine
Hotel of Tempe" as the Casa Iona
was known for years during its
heyday as one of the best hostelries
of the entire State.
Mr.. Carter yesterday said that it
has not yet been definitely decided
how much money will be expended
on remodeling the hotel. But he
said it would be refurnished and
equipped with a view of making ii
almost exclusively tourist hotel
that it would cater to the better
class of. tourists, either here fol
the winter months or travelling
through the State.
A first-class dining room will be
constructed in the two buildings ad-
joining the main hotel building OF
the north, Mr.. Garter said. Serv-
ices of a first-class chef will be
secured. Every effort is to be
made to furnish guests with the
best possible service. An elevator
will be installed and q roof garden
! will be one of the features OF the
main building.
All furniture will be new and the
entire building decorated and re
modelled according to the plans OF
high-class architect. The exterior
of the building will be materially
changed. Use of large quantities
of cement in strengthening and
beautifying the walls and supports
of the porches is planned.
1t is possible that one or two
stories will be added to the two
buildings adjoining the hotel. These
buildings will be connected with the
hotel by archways.
A small dance floor probably will
be constructed in Inc certer of the
dining room. Entertainers will be
en- ployed at all time during th4
winter season.
Tentative plans iuciuie construc-
ticn of a golf course near Tempe
Until this is done arrangements will

dress, in which he likened the climb
of the hill to the climb necessary
in life if success is to be won. Col
lege gives you the opportunity to
climb and look out on life with a
wider vision" the senior president
said.
John Barry, student body presi-
dent, gave the principal address of
the ceremonies on the butte. He
recounted the history of the "T''
