PETITION FOR KlSER'S
PARDON Is ON FILE

JACKSON, Miss. Dec, ? tSpll-CeciI
V. kiser, serving a 20-year term for
manslaughter, was railroaded into the
penitentlary by a political conspiracy,
according to a pardon petition In his
behalf, just filed at the governors Of
flee
The case is one Of the most unique
that has been received at the execu-
tive office for some time, Kiser was
convicted last October of the killing of
a man named John WEIGH, Prior to
the tragedy, according to the petition,
he was a quiet, peaCeable young man,
and had never been in trouble of any
kind 1t is alleged that he surrendered
to the sheriff Immediately after the
shooting and was admitted to bail in the
sum OF $1,000 to await preliminary
trial On the date set for the hearing
he was on hand with his attorney, and
Just before the case was called 1t was
learned that a conspiracy was on foot
to remand him to Jail without bail in
order to cause political trouble for the
sheriff, who had permitted him to be
at large under a $1,000 bond. The state
campaign was then in progress and
politics was red hot in Tate county.
Upon the advice Of his friends, kiser
did not wait for the trial, but quietly
disappeared, leaving the state. The fact
that he had been allowed liberty under
nominal bond was made an issue in
the campaign, and the report was cir
| culated that the sheriff had allowed a
| d-handed murderer to 60 at liberty"

returned to Tate county and surren-
dered, In the meantime mass meet
ing had been held at Senatohia to de-
nounce the sheriff and to secure his re-

was whipped into the penltentiary over
the shoulders Of the sheriff. and we feel
| that he did not have fair and Impair
tial trial." says the petitioners.

En route to Prescott from Chicago is N. H. Getchell, and he sends ad- vance information that will be learned of with very much interest to this community that the Cash Mining company has been amply financed and large operations are to begin forthwith.
 Associated with him are several capitalists of the above city, all re- ported to be familiar with the prop erty, and under the new arrangement a close corporation is to be in charge. The Cash is in the Senator zone, and had deep development given, with de- nominations made that are concluS- i've of high class property, the min eral values being mainly gold, silver and copper. The Cash also IS equip ped with a modern milling plant, has plenty of accommodations for a big force, and is ideally situated on the state highway. The telegrams of MT. Getchell also stated that he is very much pleased over the favorable turn made in the affairs of the property and his optimism in proving a desir- able proposition.

MOTOR TROUBLES
 FROM VARIOUS ANGLES
(FIom Friday-= Daily0


 o. C. Griffin has returned from Phoenix after blazing a new road viz the Black Canyon route, and in his recital of the woes of a motorist are combined the humorous with the veX- atious. He plowed his way into New River station on an elapsed time schedule of ten hours of travelling and slowed up to give the right-of way to big Cadillac ahead of which was a string of ten mules eXerting every muscle to keep from sinking in the mud.
 Another pilgrim was met farther on who was singing mud with a fierce mental explosion and in cadence herewith with his hands were mark ing time as he fingered undcrneatf the car fixing some misplaced utility Griffin said yesterday:
 Publish the news as strong as you wish that motorists had better steer clear of that strip in Maricopa county as the road is all in"
 Reaching Lynx Creek crossing or Wednesday night Griffin plunged il head-on and with three other motor ists there followed a vociferous ex- plosion in which the male quartette drowned out the doleful vail of the two women aheard. Griffin came into town on foot and secured a team Of four horses to relieve the tourists of further anxiety of being drowned il Arizona, a very dry state at present figuratively speaking.
 In the Walker country reports came in "Wednesday to rush horses there as two cars were down and out in the mud, while Frank Grinuell ar arrival (on horseback yesterday from the Verde valley. stated his Car was somewhere on the road out of Cherry creek.
 Dr. J. w. Osborn, of the o. K Stables, stated yesterday his livery business was thrifty and there were not near enough horse-hesh to fl orders for first aid" automobile mis haps, while teams were stuck in the mud everywhere.
 Three automobiles went out or Wednesday afternoon in crossing Miller creek, near and west of the electric light plant, but the equine came 10 the rescue.
 "The road bond issue should be raised to $l0,000,000," said Messrs Brammin and Garland, who arrived few days ago from Cottonwood, but they came by train.

Mayor Goldwater yesterday official ly authorized an agent of the govern ment to proceed with establishing a federal grocery store in this city. The date set for the institution to begin doing business was Saturday morn ing, December 20, next.
 The location of the store was an nounced as the full basement floor of the St. Michael hotel. The entrance will be on Gurley street.
 What prompts this movement was not made public, but it is intimated that huge stocks of goods accumulat- ed during and since the war are to be disposed of at prices below present market quotations. A wide line of groceries and provisions, some staple articles, such as canned goods, it is said, will be reduced from 30 cents to 9 cents per can. A corresponding cut is also to be given in other articles of consumption, and blankets and a miscellaneous line of household utili- ties are covered in the list of neces- sary articles to be sacrificed, each and every commodity having been critic ally passed upon by a military board of survey as pure and wholesome.

TIME SHORT FOR
 RE-RECORDING OF BRANDS

 Hundreds of Arizona stockmen are in danger of losing their btitlc to brands because of their neglect to file applications for re-recording in ac- cordance with the new law, declares Ed. w. Stephens, secretary of the Live Stock Sanitary Board of Ari- zona.
 Out of 10000 brands recorded dur ing the past 20 years, approximately one-fourth only have been filed for re-recording. December F has been fixed by law as the final date on which applications for re-recording may be filed with the live stock board. After that date it will be necessary for the owner of live stock to secure a new brand and pay s fee for the same All brands which have not been re- recorded by that time will be subject to redistribution and distributed to applicants in the order filed without regard to their previous use.
 From the above 1t will be seen that immediate action must be taken by stoCkmcn If they would avoid endless confusion, not only with reference to their own brands but to the live stock industry in general
 All applications for the re-record- ing of brands should be addressed to Ed. w. Stephens, Secretary of the Live Stock Sanitary Board of Ari- zona, State Capitol, Phoenix.
 Secretary Stephens desires to make clear that those who have already iled applications need have no con cern. IL will take several weeks 10 complete the work of re-recording and there may be some delay in the matter of receiving certificates but those on file on or before December F may rest assured that their inter ssts will be fully protected.

DEAL FOR OLD MINES
 IS CLOSED
From Fridays Dailyl

The Rebel and the Kicker mining claims, situated southwest of and ad- joining the Gladstone, both properties being historic for their heavy produc- ton in early days, were purchased outright yesterday by the United Am erican Copper Co.,, and enter a new era of activity at once.
 This deal was consummated by Colonel Fred Bowler and Attorney J. E. Russell and the two holdings arc to be merged with the interests in the Mayer field of the United Amer ican, giving the latter corporation a broad mineral asset and in which gold and silver units are to be added to the copper resources of the buyer.
 The Rebel and the Kicker were formerly owned by the Amalgamated Mining Co.,, and the date of their loca- ton ranges back to the early sos, when both shipped to markets outside the state and with a good net profit Internal troubles arose and the in evitable suspension followed, limited operations being conducted afterward by leasers. A depth of over 200 feet was reached, and in the examination recently made by Colonel Bowler the good showing prompted this deal to be closed lip as soon as possible.
 It was stated yesterday by the off cials of the United American that the second addition to their holdings is fully financed and that the installing of a hoisting plant, air compressor and other machinery has been decided upon immediately. In addition new camp will be built, material to begin leaving this city ill a few days. The Rebel seems to be the more favored of the two mines, shipping ore being in sight and production begins as soon as old workings can be entered without danger, the product to be loaded on the railroad less than three miles from the properties.
 The copper holdings of the United American, which adjoin on the south west the Franco-American north of Mayer, continue active and determin- aations are gratifying as depth is be, ing reached. Colonel Bowler is to continue as manager of all three groups, and leaves today for the new holdings to begin shaping up for action

BUTTERFLY MAP
 WILL GUIDE AVIATORS

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. Sly CTS in the proposed 1920 world-gird- ling air derby will not travel by Mer- cator's projection but by a new but terhy" map devised by B. J. s. Cahill of Oakland, California, which has just been adopted by Major Charles J. Glidden, executive secretary of the Aerial Derby commission, now on his way to the Far East and who gave the map his approval before leaving here.
 MT. Cahill, who is the originator of San Francisco's S12,000,000 ''civic cen ter" plan, said that an aviator using the Mercator projection as a guide, would go 1000 miles out of his way in a trip from Panama to Yokohama. "If the North Pole were on an island a mile wide," he said, ''it would ap pear on Mercator's projection to be 25,000 miles wide, or nearly the total circumference of the earth at the equator"
 The inventor of the new map, who worked on his drawings IS years, said that "an impartial and rational world geography is essential to world peace" He said that Mercator's pro jection, which was originally devised by the Belgian cartographer as a guide for navigators, distorted and exaggerated the earth as it receded from the equator" This, for instance, made it appear as if South America were much smaller than North Amer ica when, as a matter of fact, he said, they were about the same area.
 The Cahill map IS as though an actual sphere had been cut and flat tened, its appearance somewhat re- sembling the outspread wings of a butterfly.
 A nation looking unduly expanded on the map may easily, MT. Cahill says, develop a sort of geographical "big headedness," inducing an over bearing diplomacy. A nation whose territory is so unduly exaggerated on the maps in common use may well come to eXaggerate its resources, its economic strength and even its vir-

GREENWAY SAID ID HAVE NEW
 R. R. FUNDS
CRy Associateu Pressl

TUCSON, Dec. 5. - Construction of two railroads, one to an outlet on the Gulf of California, is looked upon by leading citizens and observers generally as having important bear ing upon future development in the Southwest.
 The road to tidewater is expected to be constructed from Ajo, Pima county. Arizona, to San Jorge bay, Sonora, Mexico, a distance of about 90 miles. Although but little public mention has been made concerning the present project, it is declared that Colonel John C. Greenway, general manager of two large mining com- panies before he went to war against Germany, has practically completed final arrangements in the East for financing the project. Under conces- sions granted by the Mexican gov ernment for the right of way over the 50 miles of the road which would be constructed in Sonora, it is said that ample time remains for the building of the line.
 Colonel Greenway, when opening up copper deposit at Ajo, had a railroad built from Gila, on the Southern Pacific, to Ajo, distance of about 60 miles and in a Southerly direction What remains is the ex- tension of the road through to the gulf.
 When the road reaches San Jorge bay, a 35-year old dream of Arizon- ans will be realized. The railroad is looked to to furnish an ocean outlet for copper matte shipments to East ern rehneries, by way of the Pacific ocean and the Panama canal. Arizona ranks as the foremost copper pro- ducing state. Of secondary import ance would be the outlet for cotton and other agricultural products
 A tentative route for the railroad runs slightly west of south to Quito baquito, just north of the information al boundary, thence down the valley east of Pinacate peak in Mexico and then turns westward toward San Jorge bay. Men of the Tucson, Cor nelia & Gila Bend railroad, which is the name of Colonel Greenway's line from Gila to Ajo, have been working on surveys for the road into Mexico
 San Jorge bay is described as well projected harbor but shallow; one in, which a great deal of work would have to be done. Summer tides in the north end of the Gulf of Cali fornia are said to be the largest on either American coast, outside of the Bay of Fundy, being 40 feet on some occasions.
 The other railroad, construction of which is planned, is the Verde Valley railroad, fathered by James s. Doug las, of Douglas, Arizona, and import ant mining interests. Surveys con template construction from Jerome, Yavapai county, southeast through the fertile Verde valley and thence nearly south into the Salt River val ley, connecting with the Arizona Eastern railroad at Mesa. The road would be about 100 miles long and would open up mining, cattle and agricultural country now deprived of rail transportation.
