MEN FOUND GUILTY
MAKEASTATEMENT
Richard A. Shipp and E. S.
KimbaII CriticiSe Arizona
Buyers for Trial.

That they were the victims OF a
conspiracy among men who had be-
come dissatisfied with their invest
ments, and that they had no chance
for a fair hearing I'm the court at Solo
knoxville. Ariz., is the burden OF a
statement by Richard A. Shipp and
Elias S. Kimball, who have returneS
to salt Lake with Mathonihah Thorn
as. their attorney. The men were
convicted Of fraud and misrepresenta-
ton. Both Mr.. Shipp and Mr.. KIM
ball declare they were innocent OF
wrongdoing, but were made the vic
Tins of men who had bought stock In
the MOntezuma Orange * Banana
company two and a half years ago,
and who, because of the misfortunes
Of the company and the decrease in
the investment sought to get their
money back. In a statement given
out last night, Mr.. Ship and Mr..
Kimball say:
This is the secret Of this Arizona
trouble in a nutshell; That we went
TO the ella valley at all the ArizOnans
must blame their mild winter climate
in December Of 1907, and the reports
that came to US Of their general pros
perity.
1T Is the old story: Advise a man
to invest in any concern. make him
bunch of money, and you are a prince;
If IL turns out bad you are a blankety-
blank fellow, regardless OF the fact
that you may be losing IN the same
proposition two dollars to his one.
"Brifly, the facts are these;
disgruntled man, seeing a possible
chance to get his money back. con-
cocts a story and gets a half dozen
other stockholders, eager to recover
or evade payment, to corroborate 1t,
and the trick is done"
After being convicted Of the
charge. the defendants compromised
the case with some Of the complain
ants.

SALT LAKE NEEDS
POLICE SURGEON
Dr.. F. B. Steele No Longer on
Payroll of the Munich
pality.
HE WORKS NOW AND THEN
NO REGULAR DOCTOR FOR
EMERGENCY PATIENTS.

As the result of q controversy be-
tween the police department and the
city board of health. Salt Lake Is with
out police surgeon. The name OF DR..
f. B. Steele. police surgeon. was drop
ped from the payroll of the health
commission July 1. and efforts are be-
ing made to force the police depart
ment to maintain its own surgeon.
Though DR.. steele Is on no payroll
of the city, he is stiu retained under
the personal direction of Chief OF Po-
lice 5. NJ Barlow. The latter will
10 pay Steele or request the city coun-
ell to make a special appropriation for
the maintenance OF a police surgeon.
DR.. s. c. Paul. city health commits
sioner. stated in an interview last
night that police surgeon should in
no circumstances be maintained by the
health department 1t is his opinion
that the police surgeon should be under
the command of the chief of police. and
he cites instances of other cities in
which police surgeons are employed
under the direction of police commits
sions.
1t has frequently been urged by
Chief Barlow that a police surgeon be
kept on hand at the emergency hos
pital so that he may attend injured
men and go with the ambulance. But
TO keep down the expenses of the
police department the chief has at
tempted to have the police surgeon paid
out Of the funds Of the health de-
partment.
Failing to reach DR.. Steele from po-
lice hef dquarters on numerous oC-
casions since he was dropped from the
payroll of the health department. the
chief has made numerous inquiries as
to the reasons why the health depart
ment discontinued the services Of the
regular police surgeon. 1t Is expected
that the controversy will reach a eli
max when the chief presents the ca Sc
before the city council However. DR..
Paul. city health commissioner, says
that Mayor John S. Bransford request
ed him to arrange so that the affairs
OF the health department can be con-
Quoted by two physicians instead Of
three Meanwhile. although DR.. steele
occasionally attends an emergency hos
pital patient. he does so without pay.
