 TWO Discoveries
LAssocIArEp pREss pIsrArcnl

WASHINGTON. Feb 2s.-Two dis coveries, both of vast importance to American industries and one regarded as q priceless military asset were an nounced today by Secretary Lane of the department of the interior They are chemical processes developed after years of research by Dr. Walter F. Ritt- man. a chemical engineer of the bureau of mines.
 One is expected to enable oil refiners to increase the output of gasoline from petroleum two hundred per cent The other makes possible the production from crude petroleum of toluol and oenzol. the bases for dyes and high ex- plosives for which the world has been dependent upon Germany.
 Rittman has applied for patents tc prevent monopoly but dedicates them to the American people.
 These processes Secretary Lane said. are fraught with the utmost inn portance. The Standard Oil has held big advantage over it's competitors because of a patented process giving thrice the amount of gasoline from pe- troleum that the independents can get

 Dr. Williams treated his subject very frankly, making bold presentations of his opinion on several very leading questions.
 There is too much liquor still being sold in Phoenix" he said ,'I don't know how it should be stopped. l know of one hotel here, that is dispensing drinks quite openly. A day or two ago, l called this to the attention of q police officer, and asked him if he were not familiar with the facts. I know about it. he told me. but We are not supposed to do anything about it.
 "The police stand for this-to keep order. stop crime. enforce laws and see that the people behave themselves. This is. they help LIS to live up to the ideals of the community
 The church--what is it's connection with the police? The church stands for the enforcement of the law. the prose cution of criminals, for morals, for ideals. Should not the church. then be interested and back up the police?
 'The things the chief of police orders are the churches business"

Arthur F'reebrrg Painfully Injured When Speeding Machines Crash at Death Trap on North First Avenue

Quite the most sensational auto motorcycle accident of recent times was the result of misplaced speed. when Arthur F. Freebnrs collided ssith ;, Ricknen dairy ear an North First avenGe yeste rday shortly be- fore noon. Freeburg emerged from the dust with q broken nose deep gash in the forehead and d finger cut off
 freeburg was plotting a motorcycle north on First avenue, and the car driver unknown-was proceeding west on Mckinley. There is q blind cor ner there, and both vehicles were hidden by it until it was too late for them to miss each other. It is said
 Freeburg attempted to save himself and his companion, Ed Heinrich hy
 increasing his speed as he saw the car directly in front of him. He mis-
 judged. however. and crashed into the automobile just abaft the port
 bow. Freeburg was hurled to the
 pavement in the wreck of his ma chine The shock rendered Heinrich unconscious. One story has it that the driver of the car was also knocked out in the impact. but another says
 he was lively enough to make an i'm
 mediate getaway.
 The Moore and Mcclellan ambulance was called and F'reeburg taken in it to the sisters hospital. Heinrich was able to be taken to his home
 Drs. F.. P. Palmer and H. A Hughes arrived very shortly after the crash and attended the injured men. No special attempt was made to fix the blame for the accident, but chiei of police Brawner intimated last night that both motorists and cyclists are using North First avenues paved smoothness too ardently as speed way, and possibly this fact had some thing to do with the wreck. Nc arrests were made.
 Freeburg will recover. He is ar emlpoye of the Pacific Gas and FL ectric company, and lives at 62l South Central avenue

SENATE WILL
 1. RESUME WORK ON LAND BILL
Reading Senate Bill 127 May End Tomorrow-EX- tra Session is Assured if All Bills Are to Be Acted Cpon

The senate will take up the land question today again. Encouraged by the rapidity with which Senate Bill, 27, was gone over in the committee of the whole to the forty-first sec ton on $ turday, the senators believe that the consideration of it may be concluded by tomorrow and that the following day the bill may be sent to the house
 The amendments that have been made have been effected with little loss of time But it is believed that there will be a renewal of a motion to change the personnel of the land commission either by the naming of the governor, the state auditor and the attorney general or else by the appointment of a single commission CT ex officio. That is, some state officer will be designated by the amendment as commissioner. Such an attempt failed on Saturday but it is thought that q second one concluded will succeed. But 1t is not believed that the house will consent to such an amendment.
 The prohibition bill will also occupy the attention of the senate, after the disposition of the land bill.
 The general appropriation bill vii be brought into the house this after noon It is known that it carries something more than s1.S00000. This is exclusive of a specified appropria ton carried by many of the bills al- ready introduced. The bill will un- doubtedly be subjected to great deal of pruning when it reaches ths senate.
 What else may happen in the house is uncertain The two mine tax bills now in the house committee are mol seriously considered and the senators
