CRIMINAL ACTION MAYBEBROUGHT
 AGAINST CHINO
STOCKHOLDERS OF DE- FUNCT OIL COMPANY
 WHICH OPERATED HERE
 MAY SEEK ARREST OF DEFAULTING OFFICIALS

BISBEE, Jan. 2. Should suspi- cions freely voiced by the spokesmen of nearly 100 stockholders of the United Chino Oil & Refining com pany, of Prescott, now defunct, prove well grounded, criminal proceedings will be brought against one or more of the men who handled the affairs of the company, it was stated last night by Dr. J. F. Teufert, who pre- sided at the gathering held in the council chamber of the city hall. The company's operations will be placed before the Arizona corpora ton commission with the demand that immediate investigation be made and if criminal liability develops, prosecution of those appearing to be guilty will be started.
 A plan of procedure outlined at the meeting urges upon the state legislature, now in session, that it shall pass a law amending the pres ent rule under which the corpora tion commission functions. Such law to specify that the president and treasurer of every development com pany shall be bonded in sufficient amount to indemnify stockholders for losses. And that before their -elease from liability, the affairs of each company shall be investigated
 :arefully.
 After a number of speeches by stockholders. most of whom are working men and women of the Warren district, it was decided that committee of three should be ap- pointed to. investigate the company operations thoroughly and to report at a meeting to be called later. The committee consisted of Dr. Teufert, B. H. Washburn and John K. Me Rae.
 The resolution also was offered and adopted that every stockho1der present should sign a petition to the corporation commission requesting an investigation of the company operations. This carried unani- mously and before leaving the hall, all those present affixed their sig natures to the petition.
 "This company was organized about year ago." said Dr. Teufert. It came to Bisbee selling stock on the strength of the connection of Jack Bolin, state mine inspector, who was president In this district there are about 45O,OOO shares of stock
 "The first payment on the stock was 25z cents a share. An addition al cents was to be collected from every stockholdGr whenever oil in commercial quantities was struck. | q understand that a well was put down 900 feet. A few months ago although oil in commercial quanti- ties had not been struck, representa- 1 Itives of the company came here and succeeded in collecting a large sum in the form of the additional 2 cents per share, offering a bonus in stock to every stockholder who paid the amount at that time. The represent ed that the stock was to be listed on an exchange and could be dealt in. Handsomely engraved certificates were issued to stockholders. These we have still.
 "Two of the men who were in charge of active operations in the Chino Valley of Yavapai county have gone to the coast The receiver has written here that about $40,000 ap- pears to have been spent in some other manner than in legitimate de- velopment."

PIE PILFERING LANDS EDWARD
 IN HOOSE COW
(From Sundays Daily.G

(FrOm Sundays DailY.'
 Ed Stewart, who has been work ing out at Fort Whipple for several weeks, had a wonderful fondness for that great American fruit known as pie
 Apple, peach, gooseberry, rhubarb, mince, whortleberry, chocolate, lem on-any kind of pie in fact-made a wonderful hit with Edward. There was really nothing that he liked bet ter than pie-with the possible ex- ception of more pie.
 A meal to Edward just naturally wasn't any kind of a meal tall un- less there was pie on the menu, and he never felt like knifing his way through a repast of other kinds of victuals if pie wasn't on the batting list.
 Edward while employed at the post took most of his meals at the cafeteria which is maintained for the benefit of the men by Contractor Morgan. The cafeteria service seem ed perfectly satisfactory to Ed with the exception of the fact that they charged ten cents cut for all of the varied kinds of pie which the chef daily stacked up on the counter under the big glass covers. Ten cents chunk seemed like a big price to pay, thought Edward, and he cast about for some scheme for getting his pie at a reduced rate. Finally he hit upon the plan of grabbing a slice of his favorite kind of dessert, and deftly sliding it into his coat pocket where the eagle eye of the cashier would not light on it. He worked this stunt for several days paying for the other kinds of food which he placed on his tray, and then. after passing the cashier. gently fishing the disheveled pie out of his pocket and falling to. The i fact that the pie became slightly soil ed by being thusly man-handled did not bother the pie pilferer in the least Therefore it began to look as though Edward was in fair way to live all winter on pie which cost him not a penny.
 On Friday, it seems, Edward pick ed out such a large hunk of pie that he had difficulty in getting it into his pocket, and in the confusion which resulted when he attempted to oozc a large juicy slice of the pumpkin product into the left pock- et the cashier, who claims to be re- lated to both Sherlock Holmes and William A. Pinkerton, happened tc take slant in that direction, and got an eye-full of the transaction She allowed the pumpkin pirate to retain his pie, the pie having been rendered slightly gooey by such rolroh tr~~ 'mcat and also rendered highly unsa1cable.
 By Saturday noon Chief Bloom had been planted in position where ne could keep an eye on Edward from the time he entered the bean foundry until he had passed the pie counter. The suspect continued to run true to form. As he slipped past the pie pier, he palmed a wedge of the open-face type and had just got it cached when the cop stepped up and introduced himself
 Edwards bunk at the construction camp was dark and untenanted last night. and the local institution on the public plaza woich is sometimes re- ferred to as the hoose gow was more populous by one man than it was on Friday night.

YET STING VERSATILE
HEALDTOK ED|TO R

Senator" Jack Hyde, of Healdton
was trTnsacting business in Ardmorc
Wednesday. Mr.. Hyde states that the
roads are not nearly as bad as one
would think after such protracted wet
weather and that they were able to
make good speed over them in an auto
mobile.
Asked about his candidacy for the
state senate, Mr.. Hyde said that his
mind was not just exactly clear as to
what he would finally do, there were
other things calling him at present
longer and louder than seat in the
state senate. lie stated, however, that
it might be congenial to be able to
mingle with the bourseoise in the great
county Of Lee-Huckins. In fact he said
he had often envied occupants of those
large leather upholstered chairs, as they
seemed 20 be carrying the weight Of
nations on their shoulders.
Mr.. Hyde intimated that he was
somewhat Of a weight litter himself
when it come right down to cases, and
said that if people were going to con.
tinue to insist that he make the race
for the senate it would seem that it
was up to him to comply with the re.
quest. although he wants it distinctly
understood that, like Caesar, he had
much rather the crown fall on some
other manly brow.
Jack stated that Healdton was in the
middle of a big water works fight at
present, and that it seemed to be up
to him to use his great moral weekly
to straighten matters out in order that
Ilealdton folks could have an adequate
water supply.

LOO ID LOOK AT
British Writer in Germany Finds
 Little Pleasure

London, June 30, (Correspondence of the Associated Press )-The- emo- tions and impressions of British play ing the part of conquerors in Germany appear to differ widely. 'I find that I am getting the habit of not looking people straight in the face,' writes correspondent of the Manchester Guardian at Coblenz. "There is kind of fear of something which is just be- hind their eyes. When a man looks at me across the table in one of the cafes I have to look away, and the only reason I can think of for this is because I have won and he has lost. I am afraid of him because he is help less and cannot hurt me. Many peo- pie would think that they would not feel like this. but they would
 Another point of view is given by a correspondent of the Westminster Ga- zette at Cologne. "The Huns love us dearly he writes, "because we save them from themselves. Also they think us wealthy because we tip walters. Every time I go to the municipal baths there is a crowd of Huns waiting, and I always go in front of them. Makes them furious, but if they would give the attendant half a mark I dare say it wouldn't happen unless I did as I saw a proper 'Bairnsfather gorblimey' do. AS Hun was going into vacant bathroom he pushed in front With in- describable contempt, and said:
 Ere, co won the bloody war?'
 "It does them good occasionally to push them off the pavement, and what fills them with surprise more than anything else is .to pull them up by the ear in tram to let a woman have their seat.''
 
 Bonn, Cologne and other Rhine points tells the Gaaaxs,fan that, although fra termination between the English troops and the German inhabitants is forbid den, there is a good deal of friendly intercourse between them. The Ger mans say they were deceived concern ing the war, but that they would have won if the United States had not been "forced into it.''i The visitor was inn pressed by hearing factory girls who were leaving work shout Good night as they passed some English soldiers, and he adds: "The Hun is always as slim as the Boer and clearly sees now that geniality is better than poisoned gas.''
 Arthur Pollen, the naval writer says:
 ''It is in tke suburbs of Bonn and Cologne, in Duren and in the villages that one sees the real devastation of these people. The fat man is gone and all adults seem peaked and thin but the children are really a horrible sight. Those who have been both here and in the occupied parts of France say the state of the French children is worse.
 There seems to be plenty of chil- dren but none under three years old, and never once did I see a woman l with a baby in her arms The smallest children are the worst to look at-pal- 1 lid, hollow-eyed and dreadfully feeble l The boys are far less animated than the girls"

MINING FOR OPALS
Industry in Mexico Picking Up After Conclusion of War and Normal Conditions Are Expected Soon.

Queretaro, Mexico Aug. 15.-Opal mining in this district, an industry as yet untouched by foreign capital, has shown renewed activity with the close of the war and normal number of men will soon be at work The Queretaro district for more than 60 years had furnished virtually all of the opals sold in the republic, most of the valuable gems going to dealers in Mexico City who in turn ship them to the United States Primitive methods are still used here to secure the gems Dynamite is used to blast the gems from the ground. After the rock is broken into sizable pieces it is taken to the shops for the grinding and pol ishing processes Modern methods are not used, the rough stones merely be- ing placed on spindles and applied to an ordinary grindstone, worked by foot power. Vigorous rubbing on soft leather is the last step in completing an opal for the market.
