CAN'T EXTRADITE AL
LEGGED FAKE PROMOTER
(From Wednesdays Daiiy.0


With the return of Sheriff Charles
{. Keeler to this city today will
conclude the final chapter in the
efforts to extradite w. S. O'Brien,
an alleged fake promoter OF Los
Angeles, who is wanted here upon
the charge of procuring money
from two local railroad men under
false pretenses. Three successive
efforts to extradite O'Brien from
California have failed and but lit
tie hope is entertained here for a
reversal of the latest decision after
an investigation by the California
Attorney General upon the request
OF County Attorney P. w. O'Sulli-
van, is conducted.
O'Brien who represented the Rail
way Realty Investment Company,
procured $500 from two alleged
victims in this city. Later when
the men tried to have their money
returned, it was refused. Complaint
was filed with County Attorney
O'Sullivan and extradition papers
prepared and Immediately turned
down at hearing before Governor
Johnson. The surrender of O'Brien
was refused upon the grounds that
the alleged crime constituted 4 mis-
demeanor.
Then the Corporation Commission
was recruited in the legal struggle
and complaint was signed by that
body Violation of the "Bluc Sky"
law was charged. The California
officials in ruling upon this extra
dition petition, went along the theo-
ry that inasmuch there was no
Blue Sky" law in California, it
wasn't called upon TO surrender one
of its citizens to another State
where such a measure was in ef-
feet. O'Brien was released from
the custody of the officials last
week upon habeas corpus proceed
ings.
Local ofiiciels are now helpless
to act inasmuch every legal channel
has been blocked. The two alleged
victims still have the course open
to them to go to California and sue
for their money but such procedure
is deemed nothing short OF folly.
The failure to extradite O'Brien
practically means that the promot-
er has concluded his business among
his local customers and gotten
away with it without much diff

$1,000 PURSE FOR FROM
TIER DAY AUTO RACE
(From Thursdays Daily.)

tfrOm lnurSQay Ddlly)
At a meeting on Tuesday night OF
the Prescott Auto Club, two ques-
tons OF Importance received favor
able consideration. the first be
ing to hang up a purse OF $1,000
for the auto race around the loop,
for Frontier Day, and the appoint
ing OF a committee to go to Phoe-
TX to perfect the enrolling of the
local organization as a member OF
the American Automobile Associa-
ton.
d. NJ. Clark was appointed chair
man OF the track events, while C..
E. Mckinley, T. G. Norris, NAL
colin Fraser and Leroy Anderson
were selected as delegates to go
to Phoenix.
Before any drivers OF professional
rating can be secured for the local
event, official recognition must be
first obtained from the national
body, when the loop will be logged
and formally recognized as one OF
the speed courses OF the associa-
ton.
Mr. Clark stated yesterday that
after the loop is designated as I'M
der the jurisdiction 81 the national
body, there IS no question what
ever but what many OF the high
class drivers OF the country will par
ticipate i'll the coming races. Al
ready Earl Cooper OF Los Angeles
who drove a Stutz car in the Van
derbilt races last month, has writ
ten that he will come to Prescott
and participate. Ralph DePalma,
likewise, will be here. and other cx-
perts at the wheel are expected,
from advices received.
The purpose in taking up the list
ing of the loop at this early day
is to avoid hasty action at the last
minute.
The race as decided upon by the
local club is for twice around the
loop. making the distance IS miles
Later the roadway is to be fixed
up, and it is probable also that a
bridge may span Aspen creek at
the north end OF Grove street. The
loop Of the Prescott Auto Club is
famed all over the country, and its
only handicap for professional uses
lies in the fact OF it not being Of
ficially known i'll \. y. \. circles.

Mr.. Seagraves said that so far, the

hereafter, his office will do some
thing toward starting settlers with
sufficient means for successful farm
ing for the uplandS of Yavapai.
He pointed out that too many
inexperienced persons had sought
profit in farming on the semi-arid
lands of the Southwest. In many
cases, they had spent all their sub
stance in the land. leaving nothing
for development What this country
needs is trained farmers of suffi-
cient means to carry them until

their project to a point at which
buyers might proceed with the rails

this manner, the land will be made

advocates the farming of irrigated
