as the Joan of Arc of Socialism who

night on Bread and Brotherhood
Miss Maley who is gifted speaker
has an interesting personality She
has had a varied career from her
childhood on a Minnesota farm to the
time when as socialist candidate for
governor of Washington she polled
40, 900 votes. She was Jailed in the
labor war in West Virginia in 1913,
and. has had other equally exciting
experiences.
She has been a teacher in the Rand

York and as writer and organizer
lsas gained no little prominence.
Says Miss Maley:

bread. but most of the people spend
most of their time in bread getting

.RANCHERS MAY GET
STATE MONEY SOON

State Treasurer Nit Simms, was
almost ready to heave sigh of re-
lief yesterday afternoon. After many
months of weary waiting. he had re-
ceived notice from Attorney General
Wiley F. Jones, that blank applica-
tiOns, upon which ranchers can apply
for state money to be loaned on their
lands were about ready and would be
in his hands in day or so.
Simms has been the recipient of
many calls for state money. To all
he has been forced TO reply that he
was powerless. that he would have
to wait the action of the attorney
general, the governor and the state
land commissioner. In spite of this,
there has grown a feeling that he
personally was holding up the loans.
This is far from the case, no one
would be more pleased to loan the
state money than the treasurer him
As soon as the blank application
forms are received. Simms will mail
self
copy to all those who have left
their names with him. The appli-
cants will then fill them out, and
mail them to the treasurer. He will
then turn over to the governor and
Secretary of State Osborn, who will
ask State Land Commissioner Moeur
to have the land appraised, after
which the governor and the secretary
of the state will advise Simms as to
whether the money shall be loaned.
Simms will then direct the state aud
itor to draw the warrant covering
the amount
| There have been many applicants
for loans on desert and other unim-
proved lands. The law covering the
loanng of the money specifically
states that the land must be cult
waited and worth at least ten dollars
an acre. No improvements of LAND
will be taken into consideration wher
appraised. The mortgages will beal
interest at 6 per cent. and no mort
! gage will be for more than half thu
value of the land. No loan of mor'
than $4,000 will be made to one part!
or corporation.
The mortgages will run five years
during which time it is not manda
| tory that the mortgage shall pa
anything on the principal At tn
end of five years, the mortgage ma,
be renewed, but it is necessary tina
enough be paid to take care of tn
principal within the next five year:
In case the mortgage wishes to pa
up the mortgage within the fiv
years. it is necessary to pay tire
months interest in advance.

Does
4 DUPLICATE.
Ramon Limon and A. Agui-
lar Reproduce Fictitious
Check on Glendale Bank
at Request of County
Attorney.

Ladies' and gentlemen here you have
us sitting in the park at Glendale where
we write a small check to which we
sign the name of John l.. Myer, well
known and highly respected citizen.
Next we turn your attention to the
Robinson store in Peoria where the
check is turned down. We ask you to
follow us on our ride from Peoria back
to Glendale where you witness US fear
ing the check to bits and chewing the
pieces. Now we do not swallow them
and neither do they turn to golden eggs
as we believed but we are enabled to
write an exact duplicate of the check
when so requested by County Attorney
Candy"
This slight hand performance led
to the arrest of Ramon Limon and A
Aguilar on the charge of forgery yes
terday. This is practically the story as
told by Limon, who waived examination
in Justice Patterson's court and was
held to answer to the Superior court.
His companion will be given his pre-
liminary examination in the Glendale
justice court this morning
Limon, who has served a term in the
state prison for assault with a deadly
weapon, it is understood has admitted
his connection with the affair. He said
he and Aguilar wanted to get rich quick
They had visions of untold wealth that
might be theirs if they had the start
Aguilar, he said, wrote out the checks,
signing the name of Myer to one and f.
j. Jack to the other. II was the Myers
check that Limon attempted to cash at
Robinson's and when unsuccessful they
thought the wisest course would be to
/ destroy the evidence. The checks were
made out on the Glendale bank and as
/ they drove back to Glendale they tore
up the one they had endeaYpred to cash,
and chewed the pieces.
Then we spit it out" he said. After
/ the men had been arrested by Officer
Rudd they made out a check that was
similar to the one destroyed.
