NEW RAIL ROUTE ID LINK TUCSON WITH
 GULF CALIFORNIA

TUCSON, May 2S-That the plans Of the Tucson, Cornelia & Gila Bend, railroad, which is, surveying a line from Ajo to San Jorge bay on the Gulf of California, call for the early construction of the line from Tucson to Ajo, is learned today from authen- tic sources.
 The construction of this line, giving this city short line to the sea, will commercial center, the nearest rall- road center in the United States to the western end of the Panama canal, be- ing about 300 miles nearer than Los Angeles
 The production of all the great mines will be shipped through Tucson to the gulf and the incoming freight will be routed this way. These rail- road facilities are bound to make Tue sop a great wholesale and distributing center and only lack of fuel will pre- vent it from becoming great manu- featuring center.
 Not only will this give Tucson two great transcontinental railroads, but three international railroads, the Southern Pacific and Southern Pacific of Mexico to Guaymas, the E. P. x S. w. to Douglas, and Nacozari, and the Gila Bend and Ajo and San Jorge bay.
 The Phelps Dodge group, which is behind the plans for great railroad ex- pansion in Arizona, are successful builders and operators of railroads. The Fl Paso & Southwestern is one of the few lines which did not show deficit under government ownership.
 The Tucson, Cornelia & Gila Bend was never taken over by the govern ment and therefore, does not need to awiat the return of the road to the owners before going ahead with their construction plans.
 That the railroad is rushing it's sur vey and intends to push construction when the Survey is completed, was the statement made by Sam Clark, owner of 9arkston' who was in Tue son today.
 MT. Clark says that a surveying par " Has DeeH at WOTk rululHS llHe lo the Gulf for almost a month They are now camped in the basin in the Growler mountains, where Rube Dan iels' old ranch is located.

STATE COMMISSION IF ARIZONA REPLIES
 ID GOV. CAMP BELL
To Complaint of Brokers, It Says 1t
 Feels Able to Take Care of Itself.

PHOENIX, May 24.-Assuring Gov ernor Campbell that the state corpora tion commission feels able to take care of itself and it's duties,' and in- forming the executive that his press agents arrived at erroneous conclu sions,' the corporation commission to- day replied to the governors letter en- closing complaints of licensed brokers against the operators of alleged wild catters.''
 The letter to the executive, which was signed by the secretary of the commission, said in part:
 The commission desires me to state that they were surprised that this correspondence was given to the press and was published before it had reached them Were your purpose served in it's publication or whether you are actually desirous of seeing that violators of our laws are brought to account, is a matters we are un- able to determine in the light of your procedure.
 Press Agents Not Reliable
 y press agents arrived at erroneous con clnsions, in that the commission was in any manner influenced by your communication since it had taken ac- tion regarding Texas trust companies previous to the receipt of your com munication."
 The letter, after quoting a telegram
 
 to the governor complaining of wild cat brokerage there and saying that no action could be gotten from the commission, continues:
 There is nothing of record in our office to support MT. Williams state ment that the commission has been asked for any ruling. The fact that these two telegrams originated in Tue son on May 10 and were received in Phoenix at the same time, and both calling upon the governor for help, leads the commission to suggest that help should be rendered them by the governor, since their inspiration must have resulted from common cause.
 Ready to Cooperate
 We wish to assure you and all other residents of the state that the commission is more than willing to CO., operate at all times in any matters within it's jurisdiction when properly presented in good faith. We are fore ed to the conclusion that this particu- lar instance was an effort on some ones part to pose before the public at the expense of the commission. We wish further to assure you that the commission feels able to take care of itself and it's duties.'

AGENT |s ON FRENCH LEAVE
 FROM CLIFTON
Division Officials Are Here Checking Up His Accounts; $500 Shipment of Liberty Bonds From Clifton to Los Angeles Reported Missing.

Supt. Smith of the Fl Paso division of the American Railway Express Co.,, accompanied by Auditor Wellborn from the same division, arrived in Clifton on this afternoons train for the purpose of making an investiga- ton into the affairs of the local ex- press office, caused by the disappear ance of Agent c. J. Nelson. who left Clifton last Saturday night at 10 burg, where he took the early Sunday morning train for E lPaso. Nelson was seen in Fl Paso on Sunday by Sidney Bills of Clifton, but since that time all trace of him has been lost.
 The departure of Agent Nelson from Clifton followed the departure of his wife, who left here three days previA ous. It is understood that she went from here to Las Cruces, where she had a daughter attending school, and made the statement that she was go- ing from there to Cincinnati When Nelson left Clifton by auto Saturday night, he made arrangements with Sam Kelly to manage the office dur ing his absence with the understand ing that he was going to Las Cruces, and would be back in Clifton on Tues day evening. Tuesday evening came and the agent failed to put in an ap- pearance; Wednesday evening came and still the agent did not arrive.
 In the meantime a telegram was re- ani fIA T Isxr,, ent at Los Angeles making inquiry re- gardfng an express shipment of Lib- erty Bonds from the Clifton office ad- dressed to c. Goldstein, Los Angeles, said to be valued at $5000. The tele- gram stated that Goldstein held la receipt dated May 21 for this ship ment, signed Nelson. A search of the records of the local office failed to show any such shipment described leaving this office and the division su- perintendent at Los Angeles was so notified by wire, with the additional statement that Nelson was absent.
 On Thursday, the local office re- ceived long distance telephone call from the division superintendent from Fl Paso making inquiry as to the whereabouts of the agent and his wife. who acted as his assistant, and the above information as to the SUD- posed whereabouts of the two former Wells Fargo employees was imparted to Fl Paso.
 Connected with the disappearance of the Wells Fargo agent is a story of the recent arrival of strange woman in Clifton from Fl Paso, who was seen in the company of the agent in. an au- omobile one evening. In fact, the dis covery of the two in company with each other was made by Mrs. Nelson, who hired another automobile and gave chase. In jumping from her auto into the one occupied by Nelson and the woman from Fl Paso, she sus- tained severe bruises about the arms and face. The next day Mrs. Nelson leIt town.
 In addition to the disappearance of the shipment of bonds, it is alleged that shortage exists in the accounts of Nelson, the exact amount of which will not be known until Auditor We'll born completes his audit of the ac- counts of the local office.

 but that the Mexican attempted resis- tance and were driven into the neigh boring hills with loss of six men. James Lord American manager of the mine, remained in the camp, hay ing taken no part in the defense. His life was spared, but he was stripped of his clothing. The Indians carried
