(From Saturdays Daily)

According to a statement made by Ike Booker, who has pleaded guilty to burglary, and is now in the county jail in this city as a federal prisoner, the high cost of living has driven him to commit the above serious crime, and with him as an accomplice Is a Mexican, Pete Robles, who was arrested yesterday by Deputy United States Marshal Carlson of Jerome

 That he made big cleanup is vcri- fed by his admission of guilt, and the systematic robbing of other peoples property had been going on indefn- itely, the loss of property reaching to a big sum. Booker had his hear ing before a United States commis- sioner at Jerome, and threw up his hands voluntarily, admitting the crime.

Desertion or failure 10 provide con- stitute the allegations in three actions for divorce filed iii the Superior court. Two of the plaintiffs are men and one a woman.
 Archie St. Peter, it is understood from his complaint, had lived with his wife, Margaret, for quite a num- Der of years-in fact, since 1892 when a very serious split occurred. They were living in San Diego last year. but plaintiffs business made it necessary for him to remove to Yava- pal county, Arizona Mrs. St. Peter, however. declined to leave San Di- ego, where she is thought to be liv- ing now It was not learned from the meager story as set forth in the complaint whether the chamber Of commerce had been enlisted to solve he difficulty. Mrs. St. Peter, it ap- pears, was not given chance to learn just how delightful. Y avapai county can be as q residence.
 The St. Peters were married in 1892 in Montana.
 The case of Robert w. Stewart versus Mabel May Stewart shows that they were married in 1914 in Los Angeles, and according to the allega- tions, the wife left her husband with put due cause.

kRAztL PROFITS LARGELY
 FROM SHIPS TAKEN

RIO DE JANEIRO, Dec. l3.-One of the first duties of Alexandre Conty, the first French ambassador to Brazil, will be to secure for France either by purchase or prolongation of the leasing contract already exist ing, the use Of large part of the German shipping seized in Brazilian ports during the war.
 Considerable discussion has been going on in the Brazilian press as to the final ownership of the former German vessels taken over and leased to France. In some quarters it had been asserted that all German ships, no matter where seized. would be divided proportionately among the various Allied powers which partici- pated in the war.
 The official view here, however, is that Brazilian ownership of vessels seized in Brazilian waters is estab- lished both by the leasing contract with France, which describes the ships specifically as ships belonging to the Lloyd Brasileiro" (Brazilian government merchant feeD, and by the Versailles treaty, which vests the ownership of vessels seized in Allied ports to the respective countries in which the seizures were made.
 A local paper, however, has asked, ITO whom do the ships now actually belong" and called upon the govern ment to explain.
 In reply the government stated that while the peace conference did con- slider dividing all such ships among the Allies, the United States opposed the idea. France, the statement said, opposed a general clause giving such ships to the nations which seized them but, as there was no special agreement regarding the ships seized in Brazil, the ownership of these yes sells is determined by the clause in the Versailles treaty giving the ships seized in Allied ports to the countries seizing the vessels.

AUTO ACCESSORY ISFINANCED IN
 PRESCOTT
(From Saturdays DaJy.1

That Prescott will be financial Headquarters for company doing business in all the territory west of the Mississippi and including the Mississippi states was the announce ment yesterday of the directors of the newly formed s. and $. Shock Absorber company. This company IS said to be the first, organized locally, 10 take in such an ambitious territory.
 The incorporators of the concern, including LeRoy Anderson, Alfred H. Gale and George W. Nilsson, will also be among the chief directing heads, with A. ]. kisselburg, the probable business agent, assigned to the allotment of territory. Sales, dis tribution and possibly the manufac- ture of a new scientific automobile shock absorber will be the purpose of the corporation.
 The company will be financed by syndicate of prominent Arizona men. including only a few leading busi- nessmen in each county. No stock is to be offered to the general public. and the corporation will issue but small part of its capitalization at this time. It is equipped with contracts calling for the exclusive rights to sales in the larger half of the United States, plus the Hawaiian Islands The parent company, a New York concern, has agreed that in case fl fails to supply any demand worked up west of the Mississippi, the Pres colt concern is empowered to utilize all patent rights and enter into the manufacture of the product, itself.
 A New Shock Principle.
 The patents cover what are called the Starkweather-S Shook principle oil shock absorption. By a simple ar rangement of levers and a roller, the device incorporates in the automobile springs themselves, all the principles of shock absorption and snubbing and 1t is declared that the mechanism will smooth out the most rutty road. Various designs are being made to handle the spring suspension of vari- ous makes of cars. One set is made for Fords, which are all the same. and several others take care of semi and three-quarter elliptic and cantilever springs.
 Two or three sets have been ap- piled to cars in Prescott and are be ing given a demonstration on the toughest roads in Yavapai county Already, a great number of inquiries have been received from dealers de siring to be allotted exclusive terri tory, and one telegram has come from far off Honolulu
 LeRoy Anderson and Neill E. Bailey have begun the financing until the corporation is completely ready to carry on business. For the pres ent, at least, headquarters will be maintained in Prescott, with a possi- bility that as the business grows, a leadership headquarters will be open ed in Los Angeles. In case the 1ocal concern goes into the manufacturing end, it is considered likely that the plant will be established in some coast city. The present plant, which puts out at the rate of over 100000 sets a year, is located at Moline, Hi nOis. On account of the low capitali- zation, and the tremendous territory allotted, the s. and s. company is said t De fine investment,

WET ARIZONANS SHOULD
 FEEL AT HOME HERE
CFrom Sundays Daily)

Yes, said Chief Electrician Feeley of the local naval recruiting office yesterday, as he had lined mp a bunch of possible additions to the service. every ship in our navy has it's own distillery. Sounds bad. doesn't it, but all it is used for is 10 distill water. It is part of the engineering plant You see our navy spends most of its time floating around in salt water. and salt water will put a ships boilers out of commission mighty quick You cant always be running in port to get fresh water either. So they put lot of salt water into an evaporator. a big tank with steam pipes running through it. These pipes heat the salt water until 1t boils, and changes to steam, which passes through a pipe into a distiller, leaving the salt be- hind. All the distiller does is to cool the steam until il changes to fresh water. Good drinking water, too they use boiled water in the hospitals, I hear. Takes out all the germs. That's one reason why sailors are SO healthy"
 Concluding the discourse Chief Feeley said: "I was showing an old lady visitor around my ship one day and when she saw the name Dis tiller" in the engine room she started to boil over herself. Wouldn't let me explain, and left the ship saying she would write to the navy depart ment about how all the sailors were making whiskey."

three year epidemic Of 1S89-1692 facts
which justify the hope but not the con-
clusion, that it has run it's course al
ready. firmly believe in hoping for
the best, but being prepared for the
worst.
While some OF us are trying to argue
ourselves clear Of an epidemic this fall
and winter, occasional cases are being
developed in different communities,
which can not help but give us concern
az to the ultimate outcome.
The fact that previous attack brings
immunity in a certain percentage of
cases should allay fear on the part Of
those afflicted in the previous epidemic.
In looking up the tables and compila-
ton Of statistics find that the last
year 3 epidemic agrees in great way
with the influenza epidemic Of 1889.
Since this is true and if it returns
again by studying what has been, we
will have some basis, however, probably
imperfect; upon which to direct our en-
ergies to fight this dreaded plague.
