The order further provides that
the directors, officers, agents and
employees of the United States Boy
Scout appear before the referee to
be crosS-examined by the Boy
Scouts of America, in which pro-
ceedings the latter organization will
be represented by firm of Hughes,
Rounds, Schurman & Dwight. assist
ed by |. ]. Kreseh of the firm of
Jerome, Rand & kresel, of which
ex-District Attorney Jerome of New
York county is the head.
The defendant is ordered to pro-
duce before the referee its books,
vouchers, records and such other
documents as may be necessary for
getting at the facts.
AS a result of this sweeping order
there are likely soon to be brought
out all the facts which the national
officers of the great Boy Scouts of
America movement have long been
seeking to have brought out with
the view to prevent further confu-
sion of the public owing to similar
ity of name.
Large Commissions Were Paid.
In his report of the original hear
ing upon which the order of JUS
tice Granger is based, Referee
Wiener, after examining many wit
nesses, held that reasonable criti-
cism of the methods employed by
the United States Boy Scout is JUS
titlable, stating:
Large commissions were paid to
officers and soliciting agents for the
collection of voluntary subscriptions
from the public and that, except for
the payment Of commissions, there
appears to be no indication of the
manner of outlay of the difference
between the sum of $4,000 collect
ed and $4,000 expenses incurred dur
ing the year 1917"
Many People Fooled.
In Mr.. Wiener's report mention
was made of a campaign begun by
the United States Boy Scout for
81 100000 which it was represented
was to be used for the necessary
equipment of the membership. Let
tiers were sent to large number
of persons asking contributions to
this million dollar fund. The appeal
said the membership of the organi-
cation was 100000 On account of
similarity of names it is known that
many prominent people sent checks,
under the false impression that they
were contributing to the Boy Scouts
of America.
Mr.. Wiener reports on the evil
dence that when the appeal was pro-
mulgated the membership, instead of
being 100000 as claimed, did not ex-
coed 1900, and that since that time
the membership of the United States
Boy Scout has not exceeded 1000.
Following are a few of the other
bits of interesting information
brought out at the hearing:
When Dewey Found Out, He Quit.

FIND FEWER CASESOF
 INFLUENZA IN MESA

MESA, Nov. 25.-The effective meas ures being taken by the city health de- partment and the establishment of the emergency hospital has had it's good effect on the influenza epidemic and now it may be stated with due reoard for truth that thN epidemic is on the wane and that for in a most satisfac- tory manner. There are now g pa tients in the hospital, but it should be borne in mind that these have come from miles around, the majority of them being from cotton camps out through the country In the town proper the number Of cases is growing less day by day, and for the past few days there has been marked decrease of new pa tients in the hospital. No deaths have occurred during the past A hours.
 This is indeed good news to the com munity and the surrounding country for. in addition to the distress of nina because of the epidemic and the sorrow over the loss of those who have suc- cumbed, business of all kind has been practically at a standstilI. Now, with the careful continuance of the quaran- tine and the individual effort of each person, there is no reason why Mesa should not breathe sigh of relief, and, laying aside the panicky feeling on the part of some of the more timorous, take Up the regular routine of business and ranch work, realizing that the worst is over. This by no means implies that the watchfulness and segregation plans now in operation, should be done away with.

Army Mules Dump Wagon
 And Grub Into Waters Of The Eastern Canal

The pair of army mules at tached to the government outfit at Granite Reef and used principally to haul provisions and supplies to the soldiers stationed at that place, declared an armistice Saturday against further work and dumped a whole wagon load of provisions into the water of the Eastern ca nal
 Leaving Mesa late in the after noon the wagon, loaded with all sorts of provisions from meat to flour, was drawn by two mules. the outfit being in charge of a single soldier. The road to Granite Reef runs for several miles along the bank of the Eastern canal.
 As the government outfit ap- preached one of the steepest DOT tions of the road a motor car was met. The soldier driver of the wagon endeavored to guide the mules safely past the automobile. but the fractious pair swerved off the narrow roadway, turning the load over into the canal. While the driver was reSaining control of the mules, the provisions floated off down stream, a total loss.
 This accident is serious one to the soldiers at Granite Reef. They are allowed but 50 cents day each for the subsistence of the 14 sta tioned there, and the loss of the wagon load of provisions adds to their financial difficulties, the of ficer in charge says.

 CHARITY CAUSED BY
 INFLUENZA EPIDEMIC

How to double up their efforts in be- half of those in need, is a problem the Associated Charities in Phoenix is fac ing. They have been going about it systematically, although it is hard, with increasing demands for wood and coal, constant calls from flu homes and from half-clothed people on the waiting list for warmer clothing. The term waiting list does not mean that there is no supply on hand, but that people follow one another, leaving the office on the Associated Charities on East Adams street to be succeeded by another and so on, all of them mak- ing d busy day for those in charge.
 The Associated Charities has had considerable experience in providing clothing, money and linen for the sick and those in want. but recently. dur

GREENHUI DIES. FOUNDEROF TIE
 TOWN QF PEORIA
One Of The Great Financial
 Figures Of The Country He Did Much To Develop Country North Of City

The death of J. B. Greenhut, news Of which was recently received here, is to the old timers like the death Of a pIo- neer 0 fthe valley, for generation ago he and his associations Were heavily interested in the valley. A gr0up Ol men Of Peoria, Illinois, some of whom are yet here, acquired large interests northwest of Phoenix and founded settlement, known as Peoria. Foremost among them was Mr. Greenhut.
 MT. Greenhut had a model farm In that vicinity where his family spent the winters and he was a frequent wis itor. The farm was highly improved, and one of the beSt-remembered fea- lures of it was a large red barn such as at that time were seldom seen west fthe Mississi~ni Valley. Across one side of it in great white letters was the name of the owner. The farm was later sold to R. B. WaGgoner and ultimately went back to the desert, though it was reclaimed after the Salt River Valley Irrigation Project was established. Built Peoria Canal
 Mr. Greenhut and his associates be- came interested about that time in the 1 Gila Reservoir and Irrigation company | which had been promoted by former i Governor Lewis Wolfley. The enter | prise encountered financial difficulties, and after prolonged litigation the N oit- l ley interests were crowded out and the company was re organized under the i title of the Peoria Canal company, with | James McMillan himself an old Peoria, i Ills. man, as general manager. ! Of Mir Greenhut the Peoria Trans criDt says in part:
 Captain Grcenhut was 76 years of age.
 Born in Austria
 Joseph Benedict Greenhut, was born in Austria at the military post Of Tel nitz, on February 2S, 1S43. hls parents were of Hebrew descent
 1 The death of his father in infancy and the second marriage Of his mother to an Austrian of the name of Wolf Shafer brought the family to this coun- l try in 1852 They settled in Chicago where Joseph Greenhut learned the tin and coppersmiths trade.
 At this trade he worked in St. Louis and Mobile, Ala, but on the breaking out of the Civil war he gave up what l promised to be a flourishing business to enlist in the Northern army.
 The young man made q splendid sol dier In a short time he was made ser eeant. At Fort Donelson he was se- Nerely WOundeu. but StA llOIllli9 latti we find him a captain in the S2nd Ill nois regiment. where he so disting uished himself that he was made chiei of staff of the brigadier serving wi.r brilliant distinction until the close oi the war.
 Invented Twine Binder
 Back in Chicago once more, the young genius turned his attention tc mechanical invention and became the inventor of the tWine binder whici was used in the famous McCormicl reaper, that placed that family in th' ranks of Americas multi-millionaires.

Why Not Do This Today

The Red Cross Emergency hospital Is much in need of clean cotton rags. chil- dren's clothinge old nightgowns. blank cts or other bedding material. The management is confident that if the people of Mesa, Gilbert Lehi and the country round about will only realize the need and the good women of the various homes bestir themselves there will be an ample sufficiency of the ar ticles needed. The sacrificing force of men and women who are working in the hospital are greatly handicapped. and their labors increased by reason of insufficiency of supplies. and they urge that the people do it today and aid in supplying the need at once.

west and MT. Greenhut's interest in the new branch of manufacture brought him to Peoria as the center of the in dustry. Almost at once he sprang into prominence as a leader of the distillery interests, which at that time involved untol millions of dollars. In a little while he himself had amassed a princely fortune and had made Peoria one of the great financial centers of the country. It was his gen . jus which accomplished the organiza . ton of the Distillers' and Cattle Feed CTS trust-the richest and most power ful manufacturing trust in the world al the time.
 Big in Money World By this time he had become a colos- sal figure in the money world. He was one of the founders Of the German l American National bank. director ot ! the Merchants National bank, presi- ] dent of the Distillers' and Cattle Feed CTS trust and a director of the National ] Ban kof the Republic of Chicago He was also a director and official of the ] Peoria Railroad company, and pres1- dent and controlling stockhOlder of the l National Cooperage company of Peoria, one of the largest concerns of its kind, in the world.
 When the state of Illinois passed the antitrust laws MT. Greenhut disposeo of his interests in that organization and bought large interest in the | Siegel- Cooper store of Chicago.
 Later he took over the Siegel- Coop CT stores in New York. of which he and his son, Benedict J. Greenhut were | controlling stockholders.

LATE Slaback and His Squirrels.

LATE is merely an everyday farmer,
but he has heart that overfows with
humanitarianism, as does also that of
his good wife. Grey squirrels, dogs
and cats are their pets, and the squir-
Iels, of which there are many in close
proximity to the house, are not only
protected from marauders but given
free access to the corn bin. These lit
tie fellows have, from kindly treat
ment, become so tame that they will
even perch on Mrs. Slaback's Shout
ders and eat from her hand, and woe
betide the hunter who pulls his gun on
one Of the pets.
Many squirrel is shot for what is
called "sport," but we could never see
where there was any sport in making
targets of these inoffensive little ami
mals-these industrious and provident
little fellows when they have not
such source Of supply as that fur
nished by Mr.. Slaback-store away
their food for the winter months in a
hollow tree or some other cache.
In our estimation there is no sport
in depriving inoffensive animals or
birds of their lives.
