-Marvin D. Dills, charged with the
murder of W. P.. McArthur was bound
jVrr to the superior court by Justice
t Soitza yesterday, the youthful de
fendant furnishing bond in the sum
"of $10,000.
The murder case is the outgrowth
af a' blow alleged to have been struck
y Dills at a dance in Tolleson on
March 15, when McArthur's jaw was
t iroken. He died twelve days later
font septic pneumonia caused from
J; '.he blow, according to the verdiot of
j coroner's jury.
r- -The west precinct court was
irowded yesterday with friends of the
lead man and "Buck" Dills who ac
cruing to state's witnesses had been
intoxicated the night of the trouble.
The defense offered no testimony
vben the state rested and the case
jjwas not argued.
? Assistant County Attorney Harry
Johnson who represented the state
Called 19 witnesses among whom was
V. 13, Lilley who had taken a party
of 14 to the dance. As they were
about to return to Phoenix Mr. Lilley
.testified that Dills stepped tip to him
with "How do you do'.' Shake hands
with Buck" and ending in the use
of vile and obscene language. Mr.
I.illey said that he remonstrated that
there were women present and finally
McArthur, the floor manager, asked
Buck not to start anything there, Ac
cording to the witness this angered
the boy who replied that McArthur
couldn't call him down like that, lie
then invited the man, more than twice
his age, to meet him outside and Mc-
Arthuur suggested that they wait un
til the following day.
;As Dill was taken out by his friends
be was heard to say "Don't get hard
boiled with Buck."
, fleeting McArthur later he up
lp.tched him in a bullying manner

out his threat and McArthur walked
bacfi to the dance hall and Dills to
the I waiting automobile. His young
women companions said he was not
fit t,o drive the machine but overrul
ing their objections. Dills took the
wheel.
An aggravated assault charge was
. sworn out against him and was dis-
missed when the murder charge was
filed immediately after McArthur's
death. 1

AMERICA'S WAR LIST
Although the first contingent of the
new draft has already left for the
training camps two more, will soon join
Hum. in the great work to be done.
These two men are leaving for very
widely separated points but with the
same purpose in mind, that of serving
to the best advantage their country.
Littleton T. Williams left last night
for Camp Funston, Kan. Richard K.
Bunker will leave tonifjht for the quar
tet masters corps at Camp William
Joseph Johnson, Jacksonville, Florida.
M. T. Weyant, who is in charge of
the local draft board, saw to the details
of the leaving of the men and reports
that he and his staff are kept busy
with the work in hand.
"Although the work is not so heavy
as when a whole contingent must be
attended to." said Mr. Weyant, "we are
naturally kept on the Jump with rou
Hne work." .

FOR STEALING CALF
After the case of Philip Morgan vs.
The United States had been pending
two years, a decision was rendered
vesterday snd the defendant was fined
$100 for stealing a calf from Lizzie
Wells of Blakewater, Arizona.
The defendant, a Maricopa Indian,
was apprehended and charged with the
crime of calf stealing two years ago
and only until now has action been
brought about. Since that time he has
been out on bond. When all sides of
the case were expounded and the jury
had received the final instructions, they
retired to the jury room and a short
time later returned the decision that
the defendant was guilty. Thereupon
his fine of $100 was imposed and the
case was wiped from the slate.

The censor was off the iob last
night and through some turn of fate
this letter from Janis broke into
print. No apologies offered.
Bear Katie:
Talk about class, that's me with a
capital "K" and a year's guarantee
thrown in. It was election day to
day and I voted. I'll tell the world
here is some story in that little
r.atement that would raise the hair
on a bear rug. Let me explain.
While I was bathin- the dishes this
morning, some cute bird in a mail
order suit blew up to the front door
and asks me if I had voted. I thot
he said had I floated and so I asks
him what was he doing selling life-
preservers. "You don't qet me," he
says. "I wanted to know if you had
voted. ."Oh, says I. "no. not yet,
but I am willing." "Well," says he,
"Mr. So-and-so has heard that you
was going to vote for him and has
sent me to take you down to the
polls in his machine." Then I
laughed and said, "Mr. So-and-so
must have wonderful ears because
I had not heard that I was going to
vote for him but if you will wait a
minute I'll go down with you." I
did not have the nerve to make him
wait very long, so I slipped on
something and climbed into the
the chariot he had waiting outside.
This guy who heard that I was go
ing to vote for him must have been
very poor, judging from the looks of
that gas-buggy of his." ."All ready
James," says I, but James seemed
to be having some trouble with the
main spring but after a few min
utes the old engine started to rattle
and bang in a way that would have
put the German drive in the shade
as far as noise is concerned. We did
not get very far tho for after
a couple of lurches everything
stopped. "What is ' the matter
now?" says "Oh, the engine died.'
says h'e. "Well anyway it died
game," says I, trying to be funny.
"She always does that the first
time," he explained but when he
started in doinq some more crank
ing, I thot that I heard him say
something else. Of course I might
be mistaken for he looked to be a
perfect gentleman. Once started,
tho it did not take us long to get
to where we were going and believe
me I was sure glad. Riding in that
cart of his made walking a pleas
ure. As I was going in i ran into
Mrs. Dobinger who used to live next
door to me. "Oh Jakie," she knows
how I hate to be called "Jakie," I
want to show you who to vote for."
"Here none of that kind of talk
within fifty feet of the polls," says
some gentvho was rushing the sea
son with a pair of white trousers.
"Don't worry," says I, "don't think
I will take her advice anyway."
That sure held her like a ton of
brick for she faded out like a movie.
When I got in that little sweat box
of a booth and had that little piece
of paper before me, I felt like I was
in school taking an exam. With just
the names and no pictures on that
piece of paper that they call a bal
lot, I could not remember a soul
that I had decided to vote for. I did
remember the name of Mr. So-and-
so who had sent down his cart for
me, and I voted for him iust out of
spite for I never Win anything any
way. . Oh Mama it is supper time
and I 'haven t a thing ready. This
new time has got my number. So
long Katie.
Yours as is,

j A preview was given at the Hip
( yesterday of "The Kaiser" a picture
"which has excited a great deal of in-
terest where it has been shown and is
j said to have stirred the more deeply
martial spirit of the communities
where it has been shown than any
other war picture. "The Kaiser" can
(hardly be called a war picture since
it contains no battle scenes and only
a glimpe of the destruction of Lou-
I vain.
I he tw o outstanding characters . in
the picture are William of Hohenzol
lern and the blacksmith of Lou vain,
who are widely separated at the be
ginning but are brought into pretty
close relation at the close when the
blacksmith under the orders of the
supreme council becomes the keeper
of the-kaiser.
The picture - opens w ith a rural,
peaceful scene in Belgium adjacent to
the historic town of Louvain. On the
face of it there is no cloud of war.
But -meanwhile war has been brew
ing in the parace of the war lord.
Then it descends upon Belgium and
Louvain is given to fire and destruc
tion. Especially strong features of tho
picture are the killing of a German
officer by the blacksmith, the inter
view between United States Ambas
sador Gerard and the kaiser, the mad
ness of the captain of U-23 whicn
sank the Lusitania, the striking of
the kaiser by a captain of the Prus
sian guard whom he publicly insulted
and the suicide of the latter, follow
ing the advice of a superior, "You
I know what is expected of a Prussian
officer," the occupation of the palace
where the war was planned by the
commanders of the allied forces, Sir
Douglas Haig, General Joffrc, General
Pershing and General Diaz, the pro
nouncement by Sir Douglas Haig, "the
silent Scotchman" of the sentence of
the supreme council against the kaiser
and the delivery of William into the
custody of his keeper, Marcas. the
huge and powerful blacksmith of
Louvain.
A striking part of the picture are
the sub-titles which in themselves
constitute a stirring poem in blank
verse. The picture consists of seven
reels. It was shown yesterday to
members of the council of defense,
others engaged in war work and to
the press. It will be put on regularly
today.
Marguerite Clark at the Lamara
The instantaneous success of the two
former "sub deb" stories, the charming
stories of girlhood by the celebrated
Mary Roberts Rinehart, paved the way
for the record breaking turnout which
greeted Marguerite Clark at the La
mara all day yesterday, where this
"daintiest girl in pictures" is appearing
in "Bab's Matinee Idol," the latest of
these Paramount screen adaptations of
perhaps the most popular stories ever
published.
Xo those who saw "Bab's Diary" and
"Bab's Burglar," it can be frankly
stated that this is the most charming
story of the three. Marguerite Clark
never appeared in a picture which gave
her more range for the display of those
qualities which have placed her so

PUPILS HEAR TALK
FROM ALICE
Miss Alice Moore, in charge of girls' j
Patroitic league work in California and j
Arizona spoke to the student body of j
the Phoenix high school yesterday
morning during an assembly called for ;
that special purpose. x i
- In her address. Miss Moore repeat- j
edly urged that the boy and girl should
stop and think, "The eyes of the world j
is upon you, what do they see?" After I
she had told of the work of the girls j
in this war. Miss Moore gave some j
very delightful readings. One of them j
was an impersonation of a little boy ;
telling a story. This brought tears of i
laughters to the -eyes of her hearers, j
Then she impersonated a little girl tell- i
ing a fairy story. Replying to anSther i
encore she sang one of the kinder- !
garden songs so familiar to childhood.
This song was sung in a tone that the
little child uses when lifting its voice
in song. The gestures with which Miss
Moore accompanied her impersonations
were fully as good as the selections
themselves and immediately indeared
the speaker in the hearts of the entire
assembly.
Miss Moore was the woman who
originally started the girls' Patriotic
league at Phoenix High school several
years ago. Since that time the organ
ization has grown to be the largest in
the school and is doing more work for
the United States, probably, than any
other organization of high school pu
pils. prominently in the esteem of the pa
trons of motion Pictures. All the win
someness of the character she created
in the two former releases has been
added to in this latest subject. It is a
story in which the situations, if such a
thing were possible, arc even more
cleverly introduced, and it actually
carries a plot that is not only highly
amusing, but which holds the interest
of the audience to the highest pitch, as
the charming little star romps through
a role that will always live in the
hearts of her Imposing host of .fol
lowers. -
On the same program is being shown
another reel of the delightful Burton
Holmes pictures of travel, showing
many interesting views of Australia.
William Farnum at Empress
Wanda Petit, pretty William Fox
film artist, who has been described as
the blue-eyed, dimpled "vamp" in Wil
liam Farnum's newesct picture play,
"The Heart of a Lion," found a pearl
in an oyster while at Sag Harbor re
cently. It. was from an oyster raised
on Mr. Farnum's private preserve, a
plot of "ground" about two miles from
Mr. Farnum's summer place in Sag
Harbor bay.
The Petit pearl is not of great value,
but it is quite large and has a lustre
that make's it suitable for adornment.
The little film lady will carefully save
it as a memento of Mr. Farnum's home
and her visit to Sag Harbor.

A MERCILESS EXPOSE-Not a War Picture !
Four Sales for One
Diamond Bargain
Keeps Mack on
the Jump
WITHIN the last day or two Mack Gardner has
had a sort of a worried, perplexed look. He has
been noticed "slinking" around a corner to
avoid some man or woman who seemed anxious to
talk to him.
And it is all because Mack Gardner sells diamonds and
jewelry so cheap. The other day a fine diamond bar
gain came into his hands.
A beautiful diamond piece, actually
worth $100, was shown to a friend of
Mack's and priced to sell at $40.
Gardner's friend said "Save that for
me. .1 am sure I want it, but wait
until my wife passes judgment on
the piece." .Mack Gardner prom
ised to hold the bargain for him
until the wife made her appearance.
Then .Mack Gardner showed the
wonderful bargain to another pat
ron of his who, realizing the op
portunity said, "I'll take that." It
was explained that it was probably
already sold to Friend No. 1. So
Friend No. 2 made Mack Gardner
promise that if the wife of Friend
No. 1 "passed up" the opportunity
the bargain should be saved for
him.
Friend No. 2 told a friend of his
about the bargain he hoped to get,
and immediately Friend No. 3 "made
straightway" for Gardner's to see
if he could get a duplicate. But in
the meanwhile a lady who has pur
chased over $2000 worth of diamond
bargains in the little store at 45
North Central, had dropped in to
see about a new setting for one of
her gems. She spied the wonder
ful $40 bargain on the counter and
asked Mr. Gardner to put it in a
gift box for her. But Gardner had
to tell her that if the wife of Friend
No. 1 did not accept it, and if then
Friend No. 2 changed his mind she
might buy it. So Friend No. 4 had
practically no chance left for him.
And now Mack Gardner has instruc
tions from three friends to find a

similar piece at a similar bargain
price. The wife of Friend No. 1
was in yesterday afternoon and
said, "Of course I'M take it, the idea
of thinking that I might overlook
such an opportunity."
So now you have the detials of
Mack Gardner's delima.
Mack Gardner is famous for his low
prices on diamonds and jewelry. His
reputation is state-wide, and even,
extends beyond the state's bound
aries into many parts of the south-,
west.
His basis of operation is not such ?s
to make a poor man of him, but is
built on a good profit in each' case.
The place the saving is made is in
the buying. Mack Gardner buys
way below the wholesale market and
sells at a price proportionately low.
Gardner's little diamond and jewel
ry store at 45 North Central is the
place for you to buy if you want to
save 25 per cent or more on every .
piece you buy. '
The episode of four sales for one
diamond bargain is only an instance.
Similar things are happening every
day. .
Those who know Mack Gardner
know too that he sells only genuine '
diamond bargains. Mack Gardner
always says: "if you are not a good
judge of diamonds bring a friend
with you who is, because I always
sell quickest to those who fully rea
lize the bargains I offer."
