critics and are supposed to be in the

installed at once on the property of

The San Francisco Examiner of re-
cent date published story which will
be of special interest to the residents
of Ray and vicinity by reason of the
fact that the property discussed in the
article is a Ray property. 1t is re-
produced herewith in full:
Through his chief deputy Horace
J. Brown, Corporation Commissioner
Carnahan yesterday sent out a warn
ing against investments in Arizona
wildcat mines. Brown declares that
investors under the Arizona laws do
not have the same protection as under
the California laws, wherein highly
speculative ventures, like mining, the
effort is made to see that the money
subscribed and paid in is devoted to
development work and does not go into
the pockets of promoters.
THE Arizona blue-sky law in con-
struction and operation is vastly diff
ierent from our own declares Brown.
Whatever protection the Arizona law
may offer to Arizona investors, it Of
fers none to the people of California"
1.-THE Arizona Ray mine, near the Ray
Consolidated, is held up as sample
of what to avoid. Brown says that
are those discarded by D. c. Jackling
and his associates He adds:
I'm published advertisements, circu-
lars, letters and through every avenue
of publicity known to the professional
promoter, notable for their display of
outright falsehoods, distortion of facts
and failure to present essential truths,

French Imagination Stirred
By Peasant Girl Who
Hears Voices Command

Paris, March 13-In a Paris board
ing house kept by. nuns lives the peas
ant girl who has stirred the magma
ton Of the French by her declaration
that, like Joan of Arc, she has seen
visions and heard voices commanding
her to rise and guide the soldiers of
France to victory and the deliverance
Of her country
She is Mile. Perchaud, 20 years old,
daughter of La Vendee. In accord
ance with the orders of Cardinal Am
cite, the nuns will not permit her to
be interviewed.
One of the sisters said today: ''She
is very simple and pious. To all ques-
tions she invariably replies: DO not
ask me anything, for I must say moth
ing"
Each day Mile. Perchaud goes to
make her devotions at the Chapel
Montmarte, which contains a statute
Of Joan Of Arc. The strictest secrecy
is being maintained in regard to her
by the ecclesiastical authorities.
The deeply religious feeling which
normally pervades the department of
La Vendee has been manifested to an
unusual degree in connection with the
case Of Mile. Perchaud.
The girl, who always has shown ex-
emplary piety, resides on a farm at
Puy st. Bonnet, near Cholet, which
has become the object of pilgrimages
from many sections.
At first the clergy took little note
of these occurrences, but finally the
bishop of Poitiers sent priest to in
terview the girl. It was then decided
to send her to Paris.

THE BOY SCOUTS IN WAR TIMES

A program has been issued Of work
of the Boy Scouts in case of war.
They are to render first aid, send
by wireless or semaphore,
help protect property and give alarm
in case Of danger, etc.
OF the 100000 Scouts enrolled in
this country a large part are already
practicing signals and other prepara-
tons with the war posi- bility in view.
The little fellows look quite serious
and business like in their uniforms,
and no doubt already feel the weight
~ nations resting on them.
In England, where every adult male
is supposed to be assigned to more SER
ious work the Scouts are filling a
pretty big hole. In this country, they
could do just as we'll. Only If the
enemy were nowhere in sight for
thousands of miles, the patrol duty
might become good deal of a lark
and picnic, and be relieved by many
diversions. A boy is a boy after all
and can't be wholly a soldier save in
grave emergency.

ALLEGED WIRE
THIEVES HELD
IN STRATF0RD
Milford and Bridgeport Po-
lice Catch Pair Accused
of Wire Cutting.

Alleged to be the two men who have
this vicinity of the state by cutting
and stealing more than 81 900 worth Of
copper wire, strung from poles in
West Haven, on the Derby line, and
in Allingtown, Chief James Maher, Of
the Milford police, acting in conjunc-
ton with Detectives Wheeler and Der
rick today arrested Libra Baldino OF
Milford, and Mikola Dido, So years, of
Surf avenue, Stratford.
The depredations of wire thieves
have created no end of Inconvenience
to the public and business interests
1t was at first thought that anti
Americans in view of recent interna-
tional events were attempting to 1so-
lte Bridgeport from communication
with outside cities.
Last week an attempt was made to
steal wire in Allingtown. The first
warning Of the service suffering inter-
ruption resulted in the sending out or
trouble men, They reached the
scene in time to find two men on the
Allingtown highway rolling the wire,
which they had cut down from poles,
into coils and chased them but were

Stratford has been the scene of wire
thieves operations and telephone SER
wee in the town has been hampered by
theif activities. Last week Chief Ma
her asserts he found Ba.Ddino had sold
a quantity Of copper wire. Detectives
Wheeler and Derrick got busy and on
information cleaned by them watched
Dido.
The detectives claim they have evil
dence that the latter sold about $500
worth of copper wire. It was learned
that both defendants are employed as
section hands by the New Haven road.
Working in isolated sections this af-
forded them opportunity for picking
out a spot along the highways close
to the railroad tracks, where the
chance Of stealing the wire, secreting
it and later selling the material was
most favorable.
Both men were turned over to the
Stratford authorities for trial tomor-
row morning and bonds were placed
at $500. Dido was released on bail this
noon.

Wealth of Japanese
Imperial Family Is
About $3.50, 900, 600

The property holdings of the i'm.
perial household Of Japan amount in
the aggregate to $250,00O, 900, accord
ing to an article printed in the Nichi
Nichi of Toxic. These holdings include
shares in the Bank Of Japan, the Yo-
kohama Specie Bank, the Nippon Yu-
sen Kasha, and shares and bonds of
many other concerns.
Added to these interests are the
contributions made by the govern
ment after the Ohino-Jap war out
of the indemnity obtained from China
The indemnity funds and the stock
holdings are said to totaT 100000
600.
Forests covering 100000 acres
and $50, 900 acres Of prairie land are
valued at a sum which would bring
the total up to 100000. If to
the foregoing the market. value Of the
property of the imperial palace and
detached palaces throughout japan be
estimated imperial property would
reach much greater figure.
The value of this property is in
creasing 20 per cent. annually.
At the same time every year an
enormous amount is expended in inn
perial grants. In accordance with
the will Of the Emperor Mei]i, father
and predecessor the present EN-
peror, the actual expenses of the i'm
perial family are said to be minimiz-
ed as much as possible.
The greater part of the revenues
from the imperial properties is used
for various ceremonies, salaries, PEN
sions and social expenses incurred in
mixing with the royalty of other ma
tons.
In addition the imperial household
receives annually $500, 900 from the
government, and the salaries of the
officials of the household department
are paid out Of that.
