Reported Injured.

Last Friday evening Mr.. and
Mrs. Gates were notified by the
war department that their son
William. had been reported in
jured in an engagement on Aug.
21st, but the extent of injury was
not known. The family had a
letter written by the boy on Aug.
% from a hospital, in which he
told his parents that he had been
gassed a few days previous but
was progressing fine, and Mr..
Gates takes the view that this
belated message from the depart
ment must cover the same Incl
dent, or else there is some mis-
take in the date as to when young
Gates was injured.

Death of Former Citizen.

The many friends of Mr.. and
Mrs. W. P. Blake, former resi-
dents of Winslow, will learn with
sorrow and regret of the death
of Mr.. Blake, who passed away
Wednesday at Koehler, N. M,
where he had recently gone from
Detroit, Mich, for the benefit of
his health. The body was taken
to the old home in Michigan for
burial yesterday. Until the news
was received of his death none of
his friends here knew of his i'll
ness. During their residence in
Winslow Mr.. and Mrs. Blake
were popular in the circles of the
young married people. Mrs.
Blake has the sincere sympathy
of our citizens in her sad bereave-
ment.

Conservation Week.

Next week by authority of the
national food administration will
be observed as conservation
week " and every family is di-
rected to give special attention to
the saving of foods. 1t will hard
ly be necessary to urge the i'm
portance of conserving food, as
judging all other families by our
own, every week is one of con-
servation made necessary for f.
nancial reasons. With meat SELL
ing at zoe a pound, eggs $1.OO a
dozen. and butter at 75c pound,
it will not take a great deal of
persuasion to make all the clti-
zens observe the most rigid rules
of food economy.

Court Reporter.

Judge-elect ]. E. Crosby has
appointed c. C. Easley. of this
city, as his court reporter. which
is an excellent selection and sure
to meet general popular approx
al. Mr.. Easley is a high class
stenographer, of keen discern
ment and executive ability, and
withal a man of sterling charac-
ter and probity. who will fit we'll
into his new duties. His accept
ance means that Winslow will
lose this estimable family as res
idents, which is the only element
of regret we have in the matter.

Winslow Gets a Plum.

Governor-elect Tom Campbell
was in the city early yesterday
morning enroute to a meeting of
governors at Annapolis, that con-
venes next Monday. During the
hour he had between trains he
announced that he had selected
Mr.. Charles Fairfield, of this
city, as his appointee to the posi-
tion of state examiner. This an
nouncement will be very pleas.
ing to all our citizens without re-
gard to politics. not only because
the gentleman is a popular citi-
zen of this community, but for
the further reason that they know
he is we'll equipped by training
to fill the place with honor and
credit. Mr.. Fairfield is an ex-
pert accountant, and prior to
coming to Winslow was deputy
auditor for the state of New Mex
leo, and it was largely his work
that put in the present account
ing system now in use in that
state.
From the measure of the men
Gov. Campbell has so far select
ed for the several appointive po-
sitions, he has evidently deter
mined to draft for service the best
timber he can find in the state.
basing his selections on the stan
dard of qualifications rather than
political activity. Mr.. Campbell
realizes the republican party will
be on trial for the next two years.
and the full responsibility rests
on him to give the state a clean,
efficient business administration
that will meet public approval.

The work of the students in

prising success. At the present

close of next week, the young
people are expecting to have the

Troubles at Flagstaff.

From the Coconino Sun we
learn there was trouble brewing
at the Flagstaff normal last week,
and at one stage of the proceed
lngs the students threatened to
strike. 1t appears that at the
time Mr.. Cornelius was granted
leave OF absence to enter the
army it was understood that DR..
Thane Cook was to be made vice
principal, but when Acting Pres
ldent Stevenson assumed the du.
ties he ignored the arrangement
and appointed Prof. Davis. Then
there were reports circulated that
Mr.. Cornelius had made unwar-
ranted expenditures prior to his
departure to the army. This re-
port brought Mr.. Cornelius home
on a leave of absence to be pres
ent at the meeting in Flagstaff
OF the Commission on State In
stltutions, and at this meeting
Mr.. Cornelius was exonerated
from the charges. The student
body are all for Mr.. Cornelius,
and he has returned to San Fran
cisco to resign his place in the
service to resume his duties as
president of the normal, and he
is expected to be back on the
job with the new year, to iron
out the wrinkles that has threat
ened the success of the school.

Every sane person in Winslow
keeps saying Il wish | had a
better education;" and some of
them, goodly number, really
mean it, as any one can see by
going to the night school at the
high school building on Monday.
Wednesday and Friday evenings
between the hours of 7 and 9
O'Clock. There you will find
many who know good things
when they see them, and want
to be better educated.
But there ought to be MANY
more at work in the night school.
There cannot be many who are
staying away because they have
sufficient knowledge already. for
some of the students are among
the best read and highly educat-
ed of our citizens. People with
more than one college or univer-
slty degree find it worth their
time to attend to learn some
thing new. How is it with you
who are not using this splendid
privilege which the Winslow
school system offers? Are you
doing anything during the night
school hours that is more worth
while than what the night school
is doing?
Are you satisfied with your
cooking? Do you not want your
family to have the most whole
some, economical and appetizing
meals possible? How many are
the times you have told yourself
that you would give anything to
know shorthand? What a help
typewriting would be to you! Do
you not want to be able to han
die tools more skillfully? Are
you satisfied with your arithme-
tic? You know you would like
to speak Spanish. Chemistry
certainly appeals to any alert
mind. Perhaps you would be
better off with a good knowledge
of bookkeeping or draughting.
If you do not feel content with
your knowledge of the intricate
causes which for centuries have
been leading up to this war, take
the history course. II you want
to know some of the things that
will be harmful and some that
will be helpful in the reconstruc-
tion of our shattered civilization
take sociology.
Have you been deceiving your
self when you were saying you
want some such opportunity? If
not, why do you not accept the
modern gospel of do it now,"

The Reaper Calls Suddenly.

nome on nOrCn klnSloy avenue.
Mr.. Bly, had not been feeling
very well for a couple Of weeks,
but it was thought he was re-
gaining his old-time vigor, as he
was up and about town as usual.
Monday morning he got up, built
the kitchen fire and went to the
barn to do the chores as was his
custom. Not appearing when
breakfast was ready, Mrs. Bly,
went out and found him where
death had suddenly overtaken
him, due to heart failure. Med
ical assistance was summoned az
once, but human agencies could
avail nothing.
Funeral services were held
from the Episcopal church We'd
nesday afternoon under the di-
rection of the Masonic Lodge, of
which deceased had long been
an honored member. The ca
pacity of the church was not
large enough to accommodate the
crowd of sorrowing friends who
assembled to pay their final tri
butte to their departed friend.
The casket standing in front of
the chanceI was almost conceal
ed in bower of forals offerings
from friends, and bore silent
testimony of the love and affec-
tion of those left behind. The
simple ritualistic service Of the
church, so in harmony with the
life of the man, was conducted
by Rev. H. S. Brewster; a spec
ial choir rendered appropriate
music, and a solo was sung by
Miss May Anderson.
Relatives from out of town
who were present at the funeral
were two brothers, F. d. Bly, of
Williams, and G. G. Bly,. and
wife, of Phoenix; a sister, Mrs.
G. A. Bankhead of Phoenix, and
Nathan Bankhead, nephew, and
wife, of Phoenix; Sam Arm
strong and wife, of Phoenix, un-
Gle and aunt of Mrs. BLY,, and a
sister, Mrs. Florence Morgan and
son, of San Francisco. Many
old friends and business associ-
ates from various parts Of the
county were also in attendance.
Nathan Stover Bly, was born
in Strasburg, Va, Mar. 16, 1868,
and in early manhood invaded
the pioneer country in the south
west, coming to Navajo county
in 1887 to engage in the sheep
business, in which he was sig
nally successful. He disposed of
his sheep interests about ten
years ago, and while retired from
active business was associated
extensively with Frank Wallace
and son in the cattle business.
Shortly after the organization of
the Bank of WinsloW he was
elected president, and while nev-
er active in its management his
name added strength to the in
stltution, because he was known
of all men as possessed of the
highest standards of integrity
and honor. Mr.. Bly, was always
plain and simple in his habits,
rugged, open frontier cordiali-
ty that measured men, not by
their wealth, but by their NOR
al worth to society. He had
the courage of conviction to eX-
press himself openly, with no
attempt at subterfuge to hide
his true sentiments.
Mr.. Bly, Stunned political pre-
ferment, and the only public Of
flee he ever held was mayor of
this city for one term. He found
his pleasures and interest in his
home life surrounded by his wife
and children. He was married
in 1904 to Miss Beatrice Forsyth,
and to this union was born four
children, Virginia, Laurel, Nath-
an and James, all of whom are
left to mourn the loss of an af-
fectionate husband and a kindly

Chauffeur Shot i'm
Chase of Prisoner

While Man Who Pawned
Diamond Is Recauqht

Five reels of action were staged yes
terday by Rudolph Cruger, 319 West
Twenty-first Street, and detectives of
the East Thirty-fifth Street station,
who arrested him, lost him. chased him
in commandeered automobile, caught
him, locked him up again and shot
@eir chauffeur by mistake, all in the
space of twenty minutes. Cruger, a
plumber was in the act of pawning a
diamond ring, alleged to have been
stolen from the home of one of his
customers, when officers took him into
custody.
While he was being searched at the
station house he slipped out of his
coat and ran to the street. The detec-
tives followed, jumped into an auto
mobile driven by John Burke, 219 East
Thirty-eighth Street, and the chase
was on. In the third reel Of the pict-
ure Detective Guinea drew his re-
volver, but winged Burke instead of
the fugitive, the bullet entering the
chauffeur's thigh. The accident failed
to stop the pursuit, which ended under
bed in the Hotel Delaware, Thirty

War Labor Head
D enie s Asserting
Mooney Was Guilty
Chairman Frankfurter Says
He Never Expressed an
Opinion ON Case

WASHINGTON, July &c. - Felix
Frankfurter, chairman of the War La
Dor Policies Board, to-day telegraphed
to Governor Stephens Of California q
denial that while acting as secretary
of President Wilson's Mediation Com
mission he had said Thomas J. Mooney
was guilty of the San Francisco Pre-
paredness Day bomb plot, for which
Mooney now is under death sentence.
The telegram was sent because, in
an affidavit filed with Governor Ste
rhens by District Attorney Fickert,
Frankfurter was charged with express
ing belief of MONEYS guilt to the
District Attorney.
The telegram follows:
"News Association here reports filing
of affidavit with you by District At
torney Fickert, which, in effect, at
tributes to me a statement indicating
belief in Moneys guilt and urging
executive action in MONEYS behalf
solely in order to placate radical opin-
ion here and abroad.
Not Entitled to Opinion
"Any allegation made by any one
as to my expression of belief in
Moneys guilt is wholly false. never,
directly or indirectly, by implication or
suggestion, expressed an opinion in re-
gard to MONEYS guilt or innocence.
On innumerable occasions I said that
l neither had an opinion nor was en-
as to MONEYS guilt or innocence.
Oovnr had ono and do MT l,nvo c,,ob
an opinion at this time.
"The sole task of the Presidents
mediation commission in investigating
the Mooney case was not to pass upon
his guilt or his innocence, but to con-
slider whether the circumstances which
developed after Moneys conviction.
were such as to impair the full conf
dence ordinarily TO be accorded to q
jurys verdict.
"The Presidents mediation commits
sion. as you know, reached the same
that reached by the Attorney Genera,
of the State of California and the
Judge before whom the case was tried
The reason that the Federal govern
ment was involved was because the
circumstances OF the case widely at
tracted attention both in this country
and among the people of the Allies,
and therefore became matter of ma
tion-wide and international concern.
Report to the President
"All this has been set forth with
unequivocal clearness by the report of
the Presidents m ? 1iation commission
to the President on January 16. That
report set forth the findings which. the
commission reached, and in all the
findings it set forth the reasons why

Conveys Keep Food
For Swiss From Foe

WASHINGTON, July 2e.--More than
100000 tons Of shipping, chiefly new
vessels constructed for the Emergency
Fleet Corporation, are engaged in
transporting foodstuffs and other
much needed supplies to Switzerland
under convoy, officials said to-day.
This Is twice the tonnage the govern
mcnt arranged to place at Switzer-
lands disposal to carry out the State
Departments food agreement with
that country.
Difficulties in obtaining tonnage
when the agreement was consummated
and delay in negotiations with Ger
many for immunity for the ships from
submarine attacks operated to delay
prompt carrying out of the programme.
The deficit has been made up to such
an extent, however, that it has been
possible TO divert several large steam
ers from this traffic. officials said.
Convoy arrangements have been so
successful. 1t was announced, that not
a single ton of supplies has been lost
by reason of submarine attacks. This
was declared to be in marked contra Il
to 1.-The experience with neutral ton
mage. on which tho Swiss government.

Willingness to grant safe conduct. at
