LINK TRANSPOSES
 NAMES IN NOTICE

It may have been because it was a day on which there was juncture of signs of ill omen, a Friday and the thirteenth" But anyway, a most re- grettable error appeared in the adver- tiSing pages of The Repu blican, the more regrettable because it cut two ways. It adversely affected two of the leading drygoods firms of Phoenix. The jinx would probably have reached more of them if that had been humanly or inhumanly possible.
 Korrick's was preparing to put on great shoe sale which in these times of mounting prices of footwear, special and surprising advantages were of fered patrons. The prices and the quality of the goods advertised were of character to make people forget that the footwear industry had been disturbed and upset by the war. This sale was intended to be advertised to open yesterday morning.
 Goldwater's had not intended to have a special shoe sale on that date and had made no preparation for one. The activities of that firm at that partic- ular time were to be exercised in an other and different direction It seemed that there could be nothing to inter fere with the plans of either of these houses. And there was nothing but the jinx.
 Providence is supposed to direct and protect imbeciles and infants but on that fatal day the love and care of providence were withdrawn and the jinx was given free rein. In the me- chanical department he led an unpro- tected printer to put the Goldwater's signature -cut into the Korricks ad and that peculiar error passed unnoticed in the proof reading room. Thus the ad was made worthless to Korrick's and was made worse than useless. an irri tating annoyance to Goldwater's.
 But in spite of the jinx the sale will be going on at Korrick's until the shoes have been gotten out of the way for the inventory so that those who have been misled may not be deprived of the advantages that firm was pre- vented by the jinx from offering to the readers of The Republican yesterday morning.

COMMISSION |S
 MADE CATSPAN
 IF UTERATURE
of Nerve Encoun-
 tered by State Board when
 It Gets Hold of Booklet Issued by Oatman People

What is declared to be a glaring at Zona mining company has been made public by the state corporation com mission. The corporation in question is incorporated in Arizona, but with offices in Los Angeles.
 According to officials of the commits sion. this company has never applied for a license to sell stock in this state, nor is there any evidence that any such stock actually was sold, but if not, it was not due to any lack of effort on the part of the advertising writer for the concern, who apparently had tried to make the state a partner in allaying fears of credulous prospects.
 Literature boosting the stock of this mining company which has come to
 the attention of the commission is q masterpiece of misrepresentation It reads in part:
 "Oatman is also the first new min-
 ing camp in the history of the nation which is presided over by state
 corporation commission, armed with large powers. No company can sell stock without having received a permit from the commission, the members of
 which are mining men of long, prac- tlcal experience. Before a permit is issued. the company applying for such permit must show and prove it's exact financial status, the location of all it's
 stock, it's title to it's property, and a reputable engineer must have examined and reported upon the property and stated that its showings justified the expenditure of money in it's exploration Then the commission decides how
 much treasury stock can be sold. fixes the net price which must be paid into the treasury for the stock, and watches over the expenditure of this money No personal or promotion stock can be sold until the stated amount of treasury stock is sold and the proceeds
 thereof paid into the treasury of the
 company"
 In the opinion of the officials of the corporation commission this is about the rankest bit of "come-on" advertis- ing that has been brought to the atten- tion of the commission. Numerous kinds of mining stock advertising have come to their notice. but none that at tempts so thoroughly to throw about the company the pretended cloak of security in apparently making the
 members of the commission their agents in the sale of stock.

At the Plaza

Louise Lovely, the pulchritudinous leading lady of the Butterfly picture, "The Field of Honor" which comes to the Plaza theater today, wants every one to know she is from Australia. She intends to spread the idea that many good things come from the Antipedes. So, on the door of her Pullman coupe auto, she has a shield of gold, on the face of which is her name, painted in the blue of the sea of her far away home, while the shield is surmounted by the figure of a kangaroo, also in gold, indicating perhaps that she wishes she had the jumping ability of this animal, in order to take a flying leap home once in a while But she would leap back again, for she says she thor oughly endorses the sentiments of the song.

Remarkable Evidence from Signers of Minimum Wage Petitions Show How Much Some Petitions Are Worth

Exasperated as witness after witness took the stand and testified that they had signed the referendum petitions because of misrepresentation made them, George Purdy Bullard. for the employees of circulators was finally forced into saying. "Can't you read?"
 Tt might have been petition to hang yourself?' he said to T. L. Gal yean. "Or it might have been a prom issory note and the circulator told you it was a minimum wage bill for wom- en. Would you have signed that?'
 T suppose so" replied the witness Well the law is not made to protect fools,' said the lawyer, repeating a statement he made the first day of the minimum wage injunction suit and which will no doubt be repeated before the close of the case if the performance of yesterday was a sample. Two forg- cries were shown and it developed that three others signed names without any authority.
 As witnesses took the stand and frankly stated that they signed other names, Mr Bullard suggested that they be instructed not to incriminate themselves. He asked if they had not read the warning on the petition, which he quoted, relative to it being a felony for any person to sign name other than his own.
 Witnesses for the labor organizations testified that the petition was so folded that they could not see the warning and were told to sign if in favor of higher wages for women.
 Mrs c. l. Harrison testified upon the request of the solicitor she signed the names of her nephew and his wife who were not qualified electors of the state.

 Kathryn F. Pare insisted that she told the circulator that neither she United States but at his suggestion she placed both names on the peti- tion.
 There were some fifteen others who testified less degree of fraud and mis- representation. According to counsel for the labor organizations. the plain tiff will require at least two more days in which to examine their witnesses. Judge Stanford continued the cas until Monday morning at 9:30 o'clock so the greater part of the coming week will be given over to the case. Crowds throng the court room de- spite the heat The counsel on both sides have adopted the plan of each taking a few hours to examine the wit nesses.

Precautionary
 Only, Was Call
 Police Reserve

When the whistle blew and the bel! rang last night excitement. stim- uated by the |. w. w. agitation, started telephones changing in all parts of the city, including The Re- publican office. The call was test assembling of the Phoenix Police Reserve. There were no riots, no l. w. w. disturbances-nothing in sight but the sky, which was bit overcast. However, some 220 mem bers of the reserve assembled in about 20 minutes, thus satisfying Captain Thomas Rynning, comman der, that they would be there if there was riot or an l. w. w. dis turbance.
 Rumors flew about the city as to the cause for the excitement. They varied. Some said Kaiser Bill had resigned. Others thought that the l. w. w. special from Bisbee was booked for a visit. Another theory was that there was to be an 1. w. w. cleanup in Phoenix. As each theory spread information was asked by telephone until tired operators said things about something beside the weather.
 The call proved that the guards are there when needed and that if trouble comes Phoenix has a mighty stout staff to lean upon in it's Police Reserve.

 The above resolution was read by company commanders to their respect i've companies when the Police Reserve was called out and assembled on the drill field last night. Standing at at tention, the reserves heard the resOlu- tion, copies of which were then distrib- uted to each man, with the urgent re- quest that he sign it and then obtain as many signatures from residents of the county as he could reach.
 Immediately upon the dismissal of the reserve, men with rifles slung on their backs could be seen going from store to store and from house to house, halting passersby on the streets and offering every man an opportunity to say just where he stood on the ques- tion of community protection.
 At an early hour last night, it was estimated that hundreds of names had been enrolled, and by the end of the week it is expected that nearly every resident of Maricopa county with red blood in his veins and the will to act will have become a member of this league
