oiiS OetilCd NJ uA OIuU, dC
o'clock yesterday afternoon
Chere gathered, pursuant to call
oy the president of the Chamber
Of Commerce, Mr.. Bracey Cur
tbs, a large gathering of busi-
ness men and citizens Of No
gales, generally, to consider a
charge of profiteering that had
been laid against. some of the
merchants of the town by Col
3. c. Carnahan, commander of
the Military Subdivision and of
the 25th Infantry.
In the course of the forenoon
there had been in circulation a
rumor that Colonel Carnahan
had given it out that he had
found that there is a great deal
of unwarranted profiteering in
ilicted upon the officers and men
of his command; and that he in
tended laying an embargo upon
the camp, permitting none lof
the men coming from the camp
into the city; only on business,
and returning to camp i'm
mediately; also that he intended
sending trucks to Tucson and
Douglas, to buy for the camp
abundant supplies OF, fruits We
vegetables, etc., which it was
given out he could buy much
cheaper there than in Nogales.
Upon hearing these reports
President Curtis proceeded to
the camp and interviewed Col.
Carnahan, who admitted the
truth of the story i'm circulation.
Mr.. Curtis invited the gentle
man to a meeting he had called,
which invitation ne accepted
and in due time the gentleman
appeared.
AS president of the Chamber
of Commerce Mr.. Curtis pre-
sided, there were present about
$50 people, all vitally interested.
After calling the meeting to
order and statingits object Mr..
Curtis admitted having received
(the Chamber of Commerce) a
complaint from the colonel, set
ting forth the injustice to which
his men were subjected, and ask
ing that the chamber take some
action. Mr.. Curtis explained
that as there was information
that the Fair Prices Boards were
to be revived, the Chamber of
Commerce had not answered the
missive promptly, anticipatinglit
would be laid before the Fair
Prces Board, and the difficulty
adjusted.
President Curtis then request
ed Colonel Carnahan to take the
floor, and state his view of the
matter; and the Colonel accept
ed the invitation. He said that
on the sixth Of August he had
addressed letters to the Cham
Der of Commerce and the mayor
laying before both the grievance
suffered by the troops under his
command. He had received a
short letter from the Town
Clerk, touching upon one phase
of his complaint, and the latter
to the Chamber or Commerce
remained unanswered to that
time.
Colonel Carnahan sent up to
the secretary's address copies OF
the correspondence and asked
them read, which was done.

Senator Hitchcock of Ne

ference at the White House,
said he "would bet a steamboat

QUESTION OF PR0F|TEER|NG|
CONSIDERED BY CHAMBER OF /
COMMERCE YESTERDAY
Faced By Possible Loss Of Camp Trade
All Agree Something Is Necessary,
So A Food Administrator
Is Chosen

The letter addressed to the
Mayor accompanied a letter
Colonel Carnahan had received
from Solomon Pornoy, stating
that he (Pornoy) was selling
fruit and vegetables in the camp,
underselling the business men of
the town, and that Marshal
Lowe had informed him that the
Town levied a license tax of $40
per month upon peddlers, as a
protection to the business men.
To that letter Mr.. Frank Cole,
Town Clerk, had replied that per
haps the license tax was a biz
severe, and that it had been
agreed to suspend that part Of
payment, and collect only So
per month. After reading the
correspondence was finished the
colonel said the high prices in
town continued, and he under
took to try to bring about an ad-
justment of matters by keeping
his men all in camp a couple of
days; and send trucks to Tue
son, Douglas and elsewhere, for
fruit and vegetables. He said
he had investigated prices at
Douglas and Tucson, where he
had found them more moderate.
Colonel Carnahan went on to
state from the floor, that to
regulate matters he thought
publicity would be a good thing,
and that he had asked the two
newspapers to publish a state
ment from him, with the cor
respondence mentioned.
The newspapers had agreed to
publish, and copies had ben sent
them; and that they had been
promised publication yesterday
afternoon and this morning.
(The Oasis" received the cor
respondence; but time nor space
do not permit their reproduc-
tion without trending on this
article, which will and is giving
their substance.)
Colonel Carnahan stated that
within six hours he had found
at least two fragrant cases. One
was green corn sold at four
times the price that he could buy,
it from farmers. Another was
vegetables sold for a dollar that
could be bought in Tucson for
fifty cents.
In closing his remarks the
colonel reiterated his statement
that he was putting a two days
embargo on the camp as a pro-
test, and sending elsewhere for
fruit and vegetables, because
they were cheaper.
Mayor Fielder followed Co.
Carnahan. He stated that the
letter to him had been neglected
because he had been out of
town; and it had not come to
his attention until today. The
mayor went on to state that he
was a little mystified at hearing
Tucson quoted as cheaper than
Nogales. Railroad men running
in and out of the two places buy
many things cheaper here than
they can in Tucson. He cited an
engineer who bought a ham in
Nogales cheaper than at Stein
feld's in Tucson by two cents
per pound; yet the deal
ers here had bought the hams
in the lot from Steinfeld's store.
