O'Sullivan, acting on direction of the Arizona corporation commission, mas caused the arrest of officers of two companies now being organized in the Jerome District, the Verde Her cules and Jerome Verde Contact Cop per companies. In connection with the complaints against the two cam panies, the corporation commission has issued the following statement:
 "The commission has found that a number of companies operating in Jerome and vicinity have been offer ing stock for sale and advertising eX- tensively what they term preorganiza- ton stock, prior to the incorporation of the company and without having secured a permit The laws govern ing the sale of stock in the state do not differentiate between the stock of the companies offered for sale prior to organization and companies fully organized. As matter of fact the sale of pre-organizatiOn stock, so- called. is just as much in violation of the law as the sale of stock in fully organized companies.

MAY CLEAR Up TRUNK
MURDER MYSTERY
Accused Man Maintains In
nocence Taken to Scene
He Describes Murder

Portland, Ore, Nov. 27-Taken to the
scene Of John Lind IS murder in Novem-
ber, 1915, George Bartholomew, arrest
ed in Seattle after a years hunt, was
required this afternoon to go step by
step over his version of the killing.
Bartholomew claims Linnd was killed
by mysterious third party named
Paul Lund, who then jammed the corpse
into green trunk and dropped it inio
the Willamette river.
Shortly after noon a party of police
and stenographers, who reported every
word uttered by the accused man, es-
corted Bartholomey to the Stark street
lodging house and into the room whore
Linnd was beaten to death with black
Jack bartholomew pointed out the spot
where he says he stood and witnessed
the murder.
Afterward he was forced TO describe
the killing in detail. Detectives alleged
that bartholomew Is narrative was false
and that the Lund whom he accuses OF
the crime is n mythical character. Po-
lice declared there were several dlscrep-
ancies in Bartholomew S story. The
man, however, clung steadfastly to his
denial of the murder.
Upon arriving here from Seattle,
where he was arrested, Bartholomew
told officers that John Linnd, the slain
man, was killed by Paul Lund, strang-
er who has never figured in the case
before. The police believe there is no
such man as Lund.
Bartholomw declares he heard Lund
and Linnd quarreling over money. saw
Lund beat Linnd over the head with a
club, killing him, and later saw the
corpse crushed into trunk.
This trunk was found in the VIII
lamette river. Detectives said Barthol
omew s story would implicatc him as
an accomplice even should the facts be

German Advance Unchecked.

London. Nov. 27.-The German-Bul-
garian forces in Rumania are advancing
steadily, consolidating their positions
as they go, while Rumanan forces are
as steadily retreating.
Statements today from German, Bull
garan and Rumanian capitals agreed on
this general view of the Balkan cam
paign. Berlin reported capture of Alex
andria and hinted at driving of bolt
across the only line of retreat left for
the Rumanian forces bottled up in the
southwestern most part of Rnmania.
The Bucharest statement admitted re-
treat from along the Alt. This was
amplified by the Petrograd statement s
explanation that the retiring forces
were taking advantage of all natural
features of that section to resist the
enemy advance.

the TeutOnic forces now control nearly
800 miles of the Danube, which forms
the southwestern border of Rumania.

Allies Get No News.

London, Nov. 27.-News from Ger.
man sources caused a Ec.cs:=.--:::s2-.l H hope
here today that Rumania may, after all,
extricate herself from the precarious po-
sition in which her Wallachian forces
have been placed by Won Falkenhayn's
concededly brilliant strategic campaign.
OF prime basis for this hope was the
utter lack in all the German official
reports of any claims of large captures
of prisoners or war munitions. If the
Rumania army had actually been trap
ped by the encircling movement around
Orsova and Turnu-Severin, reaching
over to CraiOva, it was regarded as Ger.
tain the Berlin official reports would
have chronicled big captures of men and
supplies. Furthermore, it is known here
that the Rumanians succeeded in re-
moving all of their artillery from Cra-
iowa before the city fell into the hands
of the enemy.
One other source of hope was the re-
port from German correspondents at
Won Falkenhayn's headquarters that
further progress beyond the Alt was
delayed because of the condition of the
roads. Both of these bits of news led
military experts here to reconstruct Il
story of an orderly retreat OF the Ru-
manian forces from the angle ON which
two arms of the Teutonic forces are now
ererting pressure. There was no dispo.
sition, however, to disguise the fact that
Rumania is still perilously placed. If il
were summer weather and if the terrain
were not Tain-soaked or muddy from
half frozen slush, the crossing of the
No, ,ha
effort to turn the flank of the Ruman-
ians, might prove successful. As it is
their presence on Rumanian soil con-
stitutes an ever present menace.
Reports here say that number of
allied aviators have reached Bucharest
1t is believed also that Russia has by
| this time poured heavy reinforcements
into Rumania, probably including a
large number OF eantlen. The greatest
handicap which the Rumaninns have
had was their lack of aerial scouts to
seek out and report the sort of encircl-
ing movements which have formed the
basis for Won Falkelhayn' success.
! Their artillery also has been out ranged
