A High School in Holbrook

Holbrook will have an accredit- ed high school provided the cleo tors in the district vote for it at the elecion which will be held Saturday, August 4.
 Prof. Edw. D. Gallagher. who has been employed as superin- tendent of the Holbrook schools for the ensuing year, had not been in Holbrook "A hours until he had started a movement to establish a high school. Realiz- ing that the time is opportune for such movement, Prof. Gal lagher started out with a peti- tion requesting the county super intendent to call an election for purpose of voting on the ques- ton. In one day more than the required 100 signatures had been secured and Superintendent Pe- terson has called the election for Saturday, Aug. 4. The no- tice of election appears in ano- ther column of the News.
 The establishment of an ac- credited high school, school whose graduates are entitled to enter the state university without examination, will be of inestimable benefit to Holbrook and her citizens. One of the greatest inducements for people to establish homes in a town is good schools. Holbrook already has good graded schools and the establishment of a high school will make our school facilities excellent.
 There is but little doubt that the people will vote for the high school. 1t will mean addltlona teachers the work of whom vii be partly devoted to some of the lower grades.
 Prof. Gallager estimates that there are Al pupils in HolbrooE who are eligible to enter the
  high school, and if he gets only one-half of these for the frs year he will have sufficient tt make a good start.

A Handicapped Candidate

State Senator Colter o1
 Apache county spent two
 days in Holbrook this week.
 Those who talked with the
 gentleman experienced nc difficulty in arriving at the conclusion that he will accept the nomination for governor of Arizona if the majority of the democratic party in- sist on giving it to him; unlike Barkis, who was will ing, Golfer is not only willing but anxious to make the race for governor; in fact he has started in the race this early so that he will have plenty of time to try to. convince the people that he should be nominated.
 The News does not believe that COlter is good guberna- torial timber. If he is the best material f h e democratic party can produce, it will be better to concede the office to the republicans in 1918.
 Not only is Colter too light weight material for the governors office, but he is carrying a handicap that will be fatal to him, or to any other man. He is Ex- governor Hunts candidate, and the voters of Arizona will defeat Hunt or any sat elite of his more decisively next year than they defeated Hunt last year.
 The people of Arizona are good sports, and they will standforareasonable amount of rough stuff, but we be- lieve that the limit has been reached; they will never again stand for Hunt, nor for any other man who wears his collar. For this disregarding others that might be mentioned, Colter can not be elected governor, even if the demo- crats should nominate him which they probably will not do.

Mrs. Wm. M. Lee Entertains

HiSs " Ht. H' LSS LittSILAIto
 A very enjoyable socia
 function was the party giver
 last night by Mrs. Wm. A.
 Lee, complimentary to the
 three young men who leave
 home this afternoon to be-
 gin their enlistment in the
 U. s. navy. Mrs. Lees son,
 William Jr., Harland John son and Alvin Fish are the young men who answered their country's call for vol unteers several weeks ago; they went to Ell Paso for eX- animation, passed the eX- animation, and since that time have been at their homes awaiting further or ders. Early this week they were ordered to report in El Paso tomorrow, and they leave Holbrook this after noon for that purpose.
 It was for these stalwart young patriots Mrs. Lee en- tertained last night, and the occasion, while tinged with sadness at the thoughts of the approaching farewells, was a pleasant one. Young and old friends of the young men and their families spent the early part of the evening in dancing and other plea sant diversions.
 Shortly before the com pany dispersed, Judge D. J. Thomas gave a short talk to the young men, in which he took occasion to commend highly the spirit of patrio- tism that actuated them in enlisting to serve their coun- try in her time of need. The was a beautiful tri-- bute to patriotism in general, and to the splendid loyalty of the young recruits in particular, and it will ever be remembered by those who heard it as a fitting farewell to the young men in whose honor it was given.

New Industry Starts in HoIbrook

The first product from the new artificial ice plant was turn ed out last Monday. Delay in receiving parts of machinery prevented the plant starting last month, as had been planned. The new plant is owned and operated by the Holbrook Light 6 Power Co.,; it has a capacity of 5 tons per day, and is equipp- ed with the most improved ma chinery. Owing to the lateness of the season the company will not deliver ice to customers but will sell only at the plant.

FINAL SURVEY STARTS
The Preliminary SurDey for the McGafey Railroad Was Finish ed Saturday. Final SurUey Started Tuesday,.

ed Saturday. Final SuTUeg
 Started Tuesday,.
 The corps of engineers that had been engaged for the past month in making preliminary surveys for the new railroad out of Holbrook completed their work last Saturday and returned to Holbrook Monday. Tuesday morning the final survey was started in HOlbrook; connec- tions with the main line of the Santa Fe were surveyed, and soundings were taken in the river for a bridge site. Possibly six weeks will be required to complete this final survey; when this is done and contracts let for construction, the actual work of building the road will be started. It is thought that grading will start about the first of October.
 The new railroad is a San ta Fe project and will be fin anced by that company. The primary object in building the road is to furnish trans portation facilities for mark eting the vast area of pine timber which stands in the mountains south of this place. The Santa Fe people have been interested in the proposition by A. B. Me Gaffey, one of the largest lumber manufacturers in this part of the country. Since it became known that the Santa Fe company stands ready to finance the road, all doubt as to the certainty of it's being built has been dis pelled. The starting of con- struction on the road, and its completion, are now only questions of time.
 Besides opening up facili- ties for marketing the lum- Der in the mountains, the road will develop a splendid farming section, which be- cause of the lack of trans portation is only slightly de- veloped. The country a. round Snowflake and Taylor, and extending south to the timber belt, contains thou sands of acres of good farm ing land. Some of this is government land and some is owned by corporations. All of it will be secured by real homesteaders, who will turn it into highly produc- tive farms.
 All of the new country which will be opened up and developed is tributary to Holbrook, and the prospect of the early development of it makes the future look ex= ceedingly bright for this town.

ACTION TAKEN TO CLOSE
SONS OF ITALY BANK
Illegal Practices, Including LOAN
Shark" Business, Charged by
State Banking Officials

The State Attorney Generals Department
today at the instance Of the State Banking
Department served notice through the
Sheriff's office of this county on the Sons
of Italy State Bank, at Seventh and Chris
tian streets, notifying the bank officials of
an action taken in the Dauphin County
Courts to close the bank for alleged ir-
regular and Illegal practices.
Deputy Attorney General joseph L.
Kun, at his offices in the Lincoln Build
ing. stated that the action had been taken
against the bank only after the bank re-
peatedly ignored the orders Of the bank
ing department to discontinue their alleged
illegal practices. Mr.. Kun stated that II
is alleged the bank has for a long time,
against the objections of the banking de-
partment, charged its small depositors and
borrowers usurious interest running up TO
IL and Is per cent and several of the Of
ficers and directors of the bank have made
personal loans from the banks funds in
excess of the amount allowed by law and
have been guilty of other irregular prac-
tees.
1t is alleged that the bank has been at
tempting to conduct n loan shark busi-
ness under State banking charter as
while the bank apparently only made the
| legal charge of per cent interest on loans
! they deducted the interest from the loan
| and then made the borrower repay the
| principal in weekly inst lllments, charging
| interest. however. for the full amount OF
| the loan until it was paid, the borrower
| never receiving the full amount of the loar
| and then paying interest at a yearly rate
| for the full amount of the loan, when he
was reducing the lean by weekly payments

Continued from PaGe One
two Civil War veterans-Dr W W. Keen,
Of this city. a major in the United States
army and Major Henry l.. Higginson, OF

symphony Orchestra-have diverging views
upon II.
Declaring that the playing Of the ma
tional anthem is not question Of music,
but one OF loyalty and patriotism Doctor
Keen said
"If the orchestra refuses to play II, !
trust that the audience will rise en- masse
and leave the hall at once as n rebuke."
1T would be n gross mistake, violation
Of artistic taste and principles, for such
an organization as ours to play patriotic
airs" said Major Higginson, supporting
Doctor Muck's contention that the anthem
would Jar the harmonious unity OF an
artistic musical program and also point
ing out that II is unfair to ask Doctor
Muck, a German, to conduct the playing
of Americas national air
The musical profession on the whole
seems inclined to sympathize with Doctor
Muck In his embarrassing predicament
ut is sad affair. especially to those
who know what the Boston symphony has
stood for in the musical world" said Leo

PHILADELPHIA "PLOT"
UPSET BY MUCK'S ACTION

Philadelphians who planned to hear the
Boston symphony Orchestra in its first
concert of the season at the Academy OF
Music Monday night were surprised to
learn today of the resignation of the noted
leader of the Boston organization, DIR. Karl
Muck, especially retained on this side of
the Atlantic some years ago at the earnest
request Of music lovers to continue his
leadership of the Boston organization.
They are discussing with increasing anx-
iety the probability of bringing about a
reconciliation of the breach that has been
brought about by the protest launched
against the announcement by Doctor Muck
that the Boston Symphony Orchestra would
not interrupt the regular program to in
Clude a rendition of the Star Spangled
Banner" on Monday nigh.
The tense situation was not assuaged by
the report that Doctor Muck upon appear
ing in front of his orchestra in the Academy
