Whisky Frozen In
Ice Blocks Clever
Smuggling Scheme
Republican A. P. Leased Wire
NEW YORK, May 15. In the con
test to discover the most ingenious
meant of deflecting attention of the
prohibition enforcement agents, the
customs officers here believe this con
trivance deserves at least honorable
mention:
In their search of the steamship
Glendoloa, the inspectors obeyed a
"hunch" and rummaged through the
ship's, cold storage .plants- Frosting
on the iarge cakes of ice, rendering
them quite opaque,, whetted their
suspicions and they scraped off the
coating. An improvised "X-ray"
made by attaching reflectors to elec
tric light bulbs, revealed bottle
shaped black spots wtthtn the trans
lucent blocks. More than 200 bot
tles of whiskey had been thus frozen
into these glacial hiding places, they
said." - " "T -' '

The Grocery Business
We must vacate by June 1st. We have a $35,000 stock of new, clean
Groceries that we will sell at cost and below. Nothing reserved. Every
thing must go. This is an unusual opportunity for the people of Phoenix
and the Salt River Valley to buy the best grade of Groceries at less than
wholesale prices. N
It would be impossible to enumerate prices as our stock is so large and
varied that space will not permit us at this time to quote prices. We
have always advertised honestly arid we ask you to judge us by our past
record as to whether we do what we say we do.
We are still going to continue in the Bakery business. We have recent
ly purchased $2500.00 of new bakery equipment, when installed we will
have one of the most up-to-date bakeries in Phoenix. All of our whole
sale and retail customers will be taken the same care of as before, and
we will continue to give you the same high quality of Bayless Pure Milk
Bread, Pies and Cakes that we have in the past.
During this sale there will be no phone orders, no deliveries, nothing
reserved, no refunds. All sales must be final. We must vacate June 1st.
You can help us by helping yourself. Sale starts Monday morning, May
16th.

Republican A. P. Leased Wire
ROME, May 15. "Tenting on the
old camp ground" will be the lot of
Americans rushing into Rome. Rome
is full, full for months, so the hotel
men say.' American tourists have
captured and occupy It so that others
of their countrymen wishing to get in
must be spoken for in advance or
must pave a golden road for them
selves in gratuities to hotel porters
and clerks In order to get a place
where to lay their, heads.
"Sorry, but we are full. Did you
write us?- Did you telegraph?" is the
constant ,cry of the functionaries at
the hotels. If one cannot answer in
the affirmative, sorry indeed is their
lot. for weary pilgrimages from one
hotel to another is the only alterna
tive. A chance might bring a room
"scalper" to one's assistance. This
consists in offering a room in a pri
vate house for which the daily stipu
lation is enormous. There was one
example where an American paid $10
a night for his room in a private fam
ily. The room was only scantily fur
nished and not modern in its ap
pointments. Aside from the scarcity of lodgings,
Rome seems to have taken on Its pre
war tourist attitude. The same
vendors of cameos present themselves
to the American on his appearance in
Rome. The same old faces are seen
in the antique shops and the art
show rooms. The same beggars oc
cupy their accustomed places, while
the same old "blind band" with Its
full sighted "drummer" of tourist
shekels grinds out Its unintelligible
violin squeaks and clarionet groans.
Cab drivers rule the highways, ex
cept for a new auto bus line which
has succeeded the old horse line on
the Corso Umberto.
Prices have mounted ten to twenty
times what they were in the old days.
All the souvenirs are a thousand pet
cent higher. The art works and an
tiques have taken a similar leap.
"Itching palms" greet the American
tourist at every angle. Hotel prices
even when transferred Into American
money, are two or three times their
former level. A room and meals on
the American plan costs at least Ji
a person, w"here it used to cost two.

Constitutionalists
Claim Victory In
Italian Elections
1 Republican A. P. Leased Wirt
ROME, May 15. General elections
were held throughout Italy today.
Members of parliament were chosen,
but no definite results were known
this evening. In Rome the constitu
tionalists claimed a triumph. Houses
were beflagged and demonstrations
were held.
The treat fight s between the
constitutionalists aid socialists. At
Milan, socialists returned seventeen
members, aa compared with ten rep
resentatives of all other parties. At
Turin, the socialists elected 11. the
constitutionalists 5 and the Catholics
3. At Florence the socialists elected
8, constitutionalists S. Catholics 3.
The socialist vote .which was no
ticeably .decreased, was even smaller
where communist candidates were on
the ticket. The Fasclsti, or extreme
nationalists, armed with clubs and
other weapons, maintained order in
the most turbulent districts.
Complete results will not be "known
until the end of the week, but offi
cial reports, based on calculations
made by tbe different parties, indi
cate the probabilities. Although the
constitutional voters were less nu
merous than had been expected it
seems probable they will have suf
ficient voters to form a large ma
jority, especially In Rome, Naples.
Palermo and in southern Italy. They
also are expected to be victorious in
Genoa.
In Bologna, where the struggle was
bitter, the socialists returned 18 can
didates, the republicans two, the
Catholics three and the constitution
alists only one.
There were no disorders in Rome.
The excitement in the provinces was
intense, there being frequent con
flicts between Fascist! and commu
nists. o
Less Than Third Of
Mexico Cotton Crop
Planted This Year
MEXICO CITY. May 15. Less
than one-third of the Laguna district
in the state of Coahuila. where most
of Mexico's cotton crop is grown, has
been planted and the entire region is
in dire straits financially, according
to statements printed here quoting
travelers.
Cotton prices were so low during
the past year that the growers have
sold their product at a loss and are
not inclined to risk a poor harvest
again.

ical comedy Uy Herbert Bashford.

close the Elks theater for the sum
mer. Before the opening 'of the next
season it is planned to remodel and
improve the theater In many respects.
A new floor and new seats are to be
installed, and a cooling system de
signed to make the playhouse com
fortable during the entire year, is to
be made a part of the improvements.
Other features are to .be .included In
