 ADMINISTRATOR
 TO INVESTIGATE
Slaughter of Dairy Animals So Serious Government
 Will Take Hand in See ing What Can Be Done

It appears from all reports that the Salt River Valley will prove no eX ception to the general rule that dairy products are decreasing in volume.
 The government is making every ef- fort to arouse the public to the seri- ousness of the situation, and T. A. Riordan, Federal Food Administrator Tor Arizona, has assigned one of his forces to make a complete investiga- ton and report in the matter. The Livestock Sanitary board will, begin ming March l. keep records showing the number of dairy cows being slaugh- tered.
 Present information es rather meager, but in one district in 1916 there were Slaughtered in September 1S4 cows. in october, 311; in November. 339 and in December, PIP; whereas in 1917 the records show slaughtered in Septem- Der, 52S; in October, 504; in November, 4l5 and in December, 395. The more patriotic dairymen are asking for only a living out of their business now, but it must be appreci- ated that a substantial percentage will dispose of their herds in favor of more lucratlce yields in other lines.

ASSAULT LIKELY
 TO END L|FE OF
 INJURED VICTIM
W. A. Benson Held for In vestigation as Result of Blow Which Fractured
 Skull of Fellow Worker

Located in the Madison hotel, where he sought refuge, w. A. Ben son was taken into custody by county officers yesterday for alleged assault upon J. E. Tosh, who lies in a critical condition at St. Josephs hospital.
 Both men were employed as team. sters for the Duncan grading camp, four miles north of the Indian school road, and had had difficulties. Ac- cordlng to an eye witness to the scene enacted at the camp which may re- suit in the death of one man and criminal proceedings against the other, Benson struck Tosh with a shovel fracturing his skull and producing a hemorrhage on the brain. The blows were struck from behind. The as- sallant is alleged to have laid in wait Tor his man and, slipping from be- hlnd, beat him with the handle of the shovel.
 Duncan was within 50 feet of the men and saw Tosh fall, and the other, whom he said was Benson, walk away with the weapon in his hand. Benson immediately made his get away and, coming to town in a rented car, made for the hotel where he was arrested by E. J. Warren and Charles MusgrOve, deputies of the sheriff $ office.
 Duncan telephoned at once to his family physician, Dr. Garland Couch who, after an examination, brought ms patient to the hospital, where he and Dr. Palmer operated upon him at o'clock yesterday afternoon They regard his condition as serious | Weak and worn out from injuries he had received, Tosh could make nc statement that was of any material help to the officers, and Benson is booked for investigation until the matter can be more thoroughly gont into by the authorities.
 Flo. some time the two men have had disagreements, but both prom ised Duncan that they would no cause trouble while in camp. It is said that they had contemplated leav- ing in order to avoid being thrown together and the change would have been made in a day or two |.

sistant attorney general. made vacant by the appointment of MT. Whitney. has been offered J. H. Langston, as- sistant United States attorney. It is also said that MT. Langston, who has made an excellent record as a fed eral official in very busy office, will probably accept the office of fered him.
 The resignation of Mr. Struck meyer was formally transmitted to Governor Hunt yesterday. Likewise, the appointment of MT. Whitney for mally was announced. MT. Struck meyers resignation voiced his regret at leaving that body and gave as his reason the great sacrifice to his private law practice, which his further retention of that office would entail Governor Hunt accepted the resig nation with deep regret, he stated and expressed his thanks to MT Struckmeyer for his valuable assist ance already rendered.
 It cannot be truthfully said thai MT. Struckmeyer retired from ths commission of state institutions 'to return to private practice" because he never had left that practice. al- lHc ldNS LII tilC SldlC SiOoliiis the commission of state institutions contains a clause which states that the attorney member shall give his whole attention to the duties of the commission. But Mir. Struckmeyel "got away with it." even to pleading before Governor Hunt, himself-ant successfully. too, by the way-against the extradition of a man wanted by the authorities of another state.
 The appointment of L. B. Whitney to the commission of state institu- tions marks the second change il 1 the personnel of that commission since it was formed by Governor Hunt Homer Wood, the former chairman resigned as a result of clash witt the state engineer and the board O regents of the university. Leroy A Ladd, the governors private secre | tary, was named to his place a 1 chairman.
 L. B. Whitney, the new member O l the commission, has been assistant at l torney general of Arizona since Jun' l 1 of last year. He came to Phoeni' 1 from Bisbee, where he occupied th' ! office of city attorney.

Peggy O'Neill in "The Penny Phlan- thr2pist' are the stellar attractions.
 The Penny Philanthropist" has much to offer to the. public. Not only is it an adaptation of a good story which has been popular in book form, but in it appear two players with whom the public is well ac- quainted through their work on the legitimate stage-Peggy O'Neil and Ralph Morgan.
 The Penny Philanthropist' is a picture which will send every per- son away the better for having seen 1t. Not that it tries to impress q moral or preach a sermon, but be- cause of the homely, human philos- ophy. of Peggy and her appeal both to your heart and your sense of humor. In this feature Miss O'NeIt has the same sort of wistfully pathetic role illuminated by her Irish wit as that in which she appeared in Peg O My Heart,' and all who en- joyed her on the stage will be equally pleased with her on the screen.
 Ralph Morgan gives a very real istic portrayal of the down Land outer who has been hardened against the world and lost his faith in all mankind.

This schooner is bearing away her sweetheart whom Russian baron is endeavoring to lose so that he may win the hand of Vera Sabouroff whom Mime. Markova portrays in the play.

To aid the baron he brings rom his laboratory a chemical which when administered to person causes him or her to lose his or her initiative. Noth- nig but an operation or severe blow on the head will bring the person bach to normal life. The chemical is giveT to Jim Harding (David Herblin) tho sweetheart in the story and the bloN that liberates his mind comes at thu proper time in the end of the story.

George E. Stock and A. P.
 Oakes Come to State in
 Interest of Welfare Work Among Men in Uniform

Uncle Sam does not intend that his nephews in federal service, even though they be assigned to service in remote places, shall lack for all amusement and so George F.. Stock, director of all athletics in the six states within the southern department of the army, and A. r. Oakes director of publicity and acting superintendent of outposts, came to Phoenix yesterday and today will visit the attachments at Granite Reef and Roosevelt. The plan is to bring as much rational amusement to the men on duty in isolated places as it is possible so that wherever there are 10 or more men reading matter and other things to increase the pleasure of service may be furnished
 In this work in this locality. sthe Phoenix Y. M. c. A. is cooperating to the utmost. Secretary J. O. Sexson was with the two visiting officials yester- day and aided them in every possible way in the work they are performing.

full of pep and patriotic humor is Forward March!" which comes to the Elks theater for three nights beginning Monday, March 4, with matinee We'd nesday at popular prices.
 Replete with comedy situations, it tells of the trials and difficulties of a man who lied to his wife about his rat ing in the army and what happened to him is the basis of what plot the comedy contains.
 Pretty women are announced in profusion, youth and beauty seeming to be the watchword of the producer who selected the chorus while the costumes are said to be extremely colorful and from the plates of New York's cleverest designers.
 The company has some very inviting names particularly Frances Young and Lew Dunbar in whose hands lie the fun making ably supported by Earle Cald- well, James Edwards and Leonard Brisbane. Among the womenfolk Eu nice Gilman, whose remarkable rise from obscurity was the talk of the pro- 1esslon when she sprang from the chorus to prima donna over night.
 Charming Margery Shaw, the dainty engenue will also be seen and heard to advantage while a surprise package is promised in the Jazz Queen, Pearl Low rec. Eccentric Dorothy Walters is af- forded an opportunity in comedy while some of the latest song hits and novel, tles are interpolated by an excellent chorus.

Mr. Oakes. though detached from command for the time being at least, is an officer of the army, a graduate of the Leon Springs officers training camp. He is directly in charge of camp and cantonment publications and is one of the men working hard to bring ra- tional pleasures to the men in the service.
 The duty performed by such detach- ments as are guarding the Roosevelt dam and Granite Reef are just as es- sential as the field duties in France It is, of course, impossible to give the men away from the great cantonments and camps all of the forms of amuse- ment and recreation which are to be found in the larger centers but as far as it is possible it is hoped to provide the soldiers with books magazines and other essentials in willing away their leiure time both to the advantage of their minds and bodies

OIL SUPPLY OWINOLES
Reserve Being Depleted at Rate
of 10000 Barrels Daily.
Shortage of Gasoline Threatens to
Seriously interfere With MAJ
Work Plants.

Washington, Sept. 16.-In discussing
the 81 5000, 000, 900 war tax bill, Judge
Covington told the Senate finance COM
mittee that the country is facing a
crisis in oil production which threat
ems seriously to interfere with the war
program.
Covington declared the reserve of
crude oil Is being depleted at the rate
of $4,000 barrels daily. Development
Of new fields, upon which increased
production depends, is hampered by
refusal of the government to allow
private capital to develop oil deposits
in the public domain, he said.
Covington's statement vas made in
support of a plea for exemption of oil
men from certain taxation in the new
bill, which, Covington declared, would
not only prevent such development
work as is now being undertaken, but
would drive some oil concerns out OF
business.
Fuel administration officials will be
asked to appear before the Senate
finance committee to explain the rea
son for the Sunday gasolineless order
and the condition of the market.

Pershing reports to the War depart
ment that the number of prisoners
taken in fl~attening out the st. Mihiel

The statement follows:
I'm the st. Mihiel sector we have

ton OF u troops advancing from the
south of the sector with those advanc-
ing from the west has given us posses
