Chicago, Nov. l4.-A new point in
transfer ethics was raised yesterday
when Robert Morris a divinity student
in Chicago University, was arraigned be-
fore Justice Callahan on charge of Of.
fering on a Cottage Grove car, q trans
fer which he had found in tn. street.
Morris was arrested by one Of the de-
tectiyes Of the City Railway Company,
who saw him attempt to use the trans
fer. He admitted he had found the
transfer in the street and that he knew
IL was illegal to use it, but he said he
could not see the justice of the law.
He eontended that every nickel spent
by the patrons of the street car COM
pany purchased the maximum ride on
the company's lines and that il the ORR
ginal purchaser did not care to use all
of that ride it could be no moral of.
fense for another person to use what
someone else had wilfully thrown away.
Justice Callahan held that TO ride on
transfer that had been found in the
street was no less than robbery, mas
much as the company was deprived of a
nickel that otherwise would have been
spent.
"Then you might as well say I rob
the storekeepers when give away an
overcoat which is Of no use TO me. be-
lcause l save the recipient of the coat
the necessity Of buying a new one" re-
joined Morris.
The student finally agreed to meet the
justice again and thrash out the ques-
tion thoroughly.
"He had me going some" was Justice
| iCallahan's comment after Morris had
left the room.

stock which was being bid up to fc-
titious values TO the detriment of the

FUNNY STREET NAME
 IS THE HASSAYAMP'
One Perplexing Problem in Connect-
 With the Fair Solved.

"The Hassayamp," is the name se- lected for the funny street at the fair, the committee deciding that it was the most appropriate one of the many Chat were submitted to MT. Tharald son. The manner nf the selection of morning Superintendent Clark tele- phoned Harvey J. Lee, business mana ger of The Republican, requesting him to name one man from each of the two other daily papers, and the three pro- ceed to the selection of a name. MT. Zee named H. F. Tritle of the Gazette and Frank LoVeitt of the Enterprise and at ? o'clock they began their la bors. It took them just two hours to read over the letters containing the names suggested and make their deci- sion and it should be stated that the opinion of the committee was unani- nous in the selection of the name "The HaSsayamp." Two words were all most necessary for the sake of euphony and the fundamental requirement. was that the name should be distinctively Arizonian; something that had an Ari- zona meaning and that would adver- tise Arizona, yet be appropriate for the purpose n hand.
 There were two people who suggest ed The Hassayamp," one being Mrs. A. A. Armstrong and the other Ben Butler. Both will be given free ad- mission tickets by the management. Among the hundreds submitted were many suggestions of the word Has sayampa in some form. either fully spelled out, chopped off, or used in connection with some other words, but these two were the only ones exactly like the words chosen. There seemed in fact to be a generally prevailing sentiment that tho name of that his toric river should be used in some form and the committee decided to give preference to the almost universal

care about cruising his private business but if his satisfactory expe rience would be of any benefit to others who are trying to make a start, he was willing to tell it. He said his relations with the association began in the capacity of a borrower, eight years ago. He was engaged in the building of his home place and did not have money enough to com plete it, so he borrowed from the as sociation. At that time money could be got nowhere else for less than thirteen per cent. He looked after his stock carefully and in a short time had his indebtedness discharged. Then as he accumulated little money he kept investing it in stock of the as sociation until he secured a few shares of almost every issue. Some of it ma tured and he kept putting the money back. Now he owns 142 shares of the associations stock, of one kind or an- other, at various stages of maturity. Among the rest he has twelve shares of paid up stock on which all he has to do is to keep taking what's coming to him and reinvesting it.
 One thing that appeals to him is
 
 added to the principal and before a share has reached maturity the com pounding amounts to a very pretty sum. From five shares on credit in the beginning he has made very rapid advance to get 142 shares now, beside paying off his indebtedness. Some of these shares keep maturing every six months and he keeps rein Ci ha of no better or safer place to put the money, and no place that is as safe which offers so large a return. An other advantage is that that there is no work or worry. The money is handled for the investor, the regular return in interest being guaranteed It is the association that has to do the worrying, to keep the money invested where it will not only return the amount due him, but a little margin for the association. In fact the as Sociation is right now hunting for good loans. It has grown to a size where it is always ready either to take in money or pay it out, On proper busi ness terms. And it is a good thing for both sides to the bargain. With the money constantly coming in the association is always ready for good loans and gets gilt edge security.
 There are other investment enter prises that Cffer larger returns but they are hedged about with provi- sions that may become burdensome. The money once in is harder to get back again in the event it is needed for something else. But in the Phoe- nix Building & Loan Association, one may draw out all his invested capi- tai and surrender his stock, receiving also the accumulated interest. Or if he needs it between these six months periods he can by giving thirty days notice draw out his investment, to- gether with the interest up to the end of the last preceding six months pe- riod. Altogether MT. Seip thinks he has the safest investment to be found anywhere and does not have to worry about receiving his interest or hunting
