 PROTECT INVESTORS

PHOENIX. June 23.--The advertis- ing of promoters of various companies IS likely to undergo a revision in the direction of mildness and explicit truthfulness right soon, for the new false advertising law is in effect. and the corporation commission will "get them if they don't watch out
 Part of the new law reads as soi lows
 No company. broker. or agent, or any other person shall issue, circulate, or publish any advertisement, pam phlet. prospectus. or circular concern ing any security sold or offered for sale by it. unless the name of the com- pany. broker. agent, or person issuing, circulating or publishing the same shall he subscribed thereto, and a true copy thereof shall have been first filed in the office of the corporation commission. or deposited in United States postoffce. properly enclosed in sealed envelope. addressed to the commission at Phoenix, Arizona, with the postage duly prepaid thereon; nor shall any company. broker, or agent or any other person, issue, circulate, or publish any such advertisement, pamphlet, prospectus. or circular after notice in writing given 10 it by the corporation commission tha: in it's opinion. the same contains any state ment that is false or misleading or otherwise likely to deceive reader thereof"
 That is not all The commission now has fund which it is using to i investigate the way investment com panias spend their stockholders mon- ay. and take measures to protect these . same innocent investors. ol tUuEsc, this applies only to companies that have permits to sell stock in the state The new fund is derived from the col fections under the following new law provisions:

EVIDENCE OF FOUL
 PLAY ON OLIVER CRAVEN.

PLAY ON OltSe H SHASGN.
 Chief Deputy sheriff Geo. Henshaw this afternoon received a telephone message from Sheriff James McDon- aid from san simon regarding the dis appearance of Oliver Craven. deputy cattle inspector who has not been seen since Saturday, the l4th. sheriff Mo Donald lef; for the scene yesterday and found. according 10 the word re- ceived. that the cattle inspector has met with foul play and has been mar- dered and there is not even the slight est clue with which his murderers can be traced
 The Sheriff and Deputy Ha-dwick went 10 the Craven ranch. where the inspector lived by himself few miles out from san simon, and there found tracks of an automobile leading 10 and from the ranch. In the bedroom of he Craven residence they found blood stains. and evidences of a scuffle, but nothing that may lead to clue. The officers were then satisfied that Cra- ven had net with foul play and tnoughi possibly the body may have been weighted down and thrown into ihe big reservoir on the ranch. Today they thoroughly dredged the tank but their efforts revealed nothing and the only theory now is that the body was thrown into the automobile and talk en away and hidden in some secluded spot. possibly thrown into an aban- d.rei mine. The automobile tracks Isad toward Bowie and the Sheriff and Deputy Hardwick have taken up the trail in an effort 10 find some clue hat may lead them to he murderers.
 Sheriff Mcdonald is satisfied that Craven has been mu-Gered. according Q his telephone message today and will spare no enor; 10 locate them
 IL is believed that Craven, who had been hard on the trail of cattle rustl- CTS. in the mountains, was about 10 expose d number Of those involved. bringing Ire guilty ones 10 arrest and conviction and in order ,o avert ar rest, which was the former theory of the officers that he had been murdered 10 prevent this. The sheriff and his deputies are without any trace or clue 70 lad them in their search, no one having seen Craven since he had left San simon two days before for his ranch. T. was on the l2th ths. he was last seen in town, going out to his ranch on horse. and when he failed to make his appearance over a week later, the Sheriff was notified c! his disappearance.
 In all probability inc mur6erers, who were believed to. be more than one, have by this time made good their escape. but the Sheriff stated he would continue his search for some clue that may aid in bringing ,hem to book before the week is over
