NEW GAKBANZO PLANTER

Mr.. F. F. Rodriguez, of La

SUGAR SUPPLY OF
SANTA CRUZ co.
EXHAUSTED
NO MORE AVAILABLE
UNTIL SEPTEMBER 1ST
Housewives Have Used 1t Up
for the Canning of Fruits
and Preserves.

The stores of Santa Cruz
county have exhausted their
SUPP " of sug&r, and there will
be no more for any of them un-
til the September supply be-
comes available.
Food Administrator B. j.
Jones explains that the situa-
tion is due to an oversight of
the state food administration
in failing to provide sugar for
preserving fruit etc. The
county's supply of sugar at two
pounds per head for 1926 per-
sons amounts to 1S4 sacks.
That was sent. Then the food
administration announced that
on a proper application each
housewife would be supplied
with not to exceed 25 pounds of
sugar for preserving. Upon
such applications to the county
food administrator he gave or
ders for many lots of 20 or 25
pounds. Those orders the deal
ers delivering the goods sent to
the state food administrator,
and it was his duty to return
them orders for sugar to re-
place that taken. But the or
ders have failed to arrive, and
the result is that the county is
without the sweetening to run
people over to the first of
September.

SAYS MONEY WAS
LOST BUYING
BOOTLEG"
BOOZE CONFISCATED,
BELTRAN IS IN JAIL
Money was not His, and He is
Charged with Having
EmbeZZled 1t.

Andres Beltran was under
examination before Justice vii
key yesterday, the charge being
embezzlement; and upon the
testimony adduced the accused
was held for trial in the supe-
rior court. And thereby hangs
a tale.
Beltran came up from Sina-
loa entrusted with a commits
sion from Mr.. C. H. Douglas, Of
Topolobampo, superintendent of
the Pacific end of the Kansas
City, Mexico & Orient railway,
operating between Topolobam-
po and ChoiX, which was to con-
vert into American money some
5000 pesos he was handed, and
deposit the proceeds Of the
transaction in a bank at San
Francisco. The deposit in the
San Francisco bank failing to
materialize, Mr.. Douglas caused
the arrest of the man, and his
preliminary examination, as set
forth in the preceding para
graph.
Beltran does not deny the
commission he was to attend,
and for his reason for failure
to comply he explains that ne
thought to profit a few honest
dollars by using the 'dinero' in
a bootleg speculation. He went
to Ell Paso and bought all. the
booze that could be purchased
and returned to Arizona with
