sciiption of his assailants. The dis trict attorney was at a loss how to proceed. But by diligent inquiry he came to suspect four or five China men and he caused their apprehension and had them brought into room.
 Then he proceeded to reconstruc- tion of the crime. He seized one of the Chinamen by the throat, choken him, shook him and at last drew a knife and acted as though he were about to stab him. He turned to- ward the complainant and looked in auiringly. The Chinaman nodded his assent. That was the way it was done. The district attorney then pointed from one to another of the Chinese, indicating a desire to know who were the assailant or assailants. As he indicated the guilty parties, the Chinaman, with beaming face, bowed low, signifying that Mr. Jones had hit upon the right ones.
 Assistant Attorney General Mc- Bride outlined the staging of that crime at length and suggested that the alleged crime in Coconino county might be reconstructed in the same manner.

FOOD PRICES UPHELD
 FOR THE BIG PACKERS

WASHINGTON, June 16.-Vigor- ous protest against the withholding of 2S0,000,0 pounds of meat prod- ucts by the war department in order to uphold the current prices of the packers has been voiced in the house of representatives by Simeon D. Fess, of Ohio.
 In reciting the facts he said "The government is now holding 120,000,- 900 pounds of roast beef in cans, S5, ,000, 900 pounds of corned beef in cans, 10000, ,000 pounds of corned beef hash in cans and 50,OO0,O00 pounds of bacon in cans. The explanation of the war department is that to release it to the people would cause break in prices. It is stated that this vast amount of food in cans represents five months of intense active production, which, under any other conditions than those of war, would mean two years of production.
 "I know of no disaster that would follow the lowering of food prices to the people at a time when they are carrying many burdens of taxation and when great number are out of employment. The destruction of the prices current should not be avoided when prices are as high as now. This is the plea of a committee represent ing the packers, and l do not believe in it. In the face of abundant pro- duction, it can not with reason be con- tended that there is a scarcity of pro- duction. Therefore the law of supply and demand should not be retarded and obstructed by the secretary of war, but should be allowed free reign so as to benefit all the people of the country. This vast amount of food should be thrown upon the market, now that peace is here, and should be permitted to take it's chance with the other output of the packers.
 "We have the same situation with regard to wheat. With a greater yield than ever before the government has decreed that the price to be paid for it shall be fixed at $2.26 per bushel. This is done in order that the original fixing of prices current for wheat may be upheld as against the discrimination in favor of cotton which was regulated only by the law of supply and demand. The govern ment should take over the wheat at the contract price, put it on the mar ket at the rate which supply and de- mand would name, in order that the consumer may have cheaper flour and bread, and then charge off the diff ference to war loss. All of this com plication comes from governmental tinkering with normal economic con ditions. So far as the prices of prod ucts are concerned, the people are better off without such interference, for the reason that they thereby have in the long run to pay greater bill"

BILL INTRODUCED FOR
 CORRECTING INJUSTICE

WASHINGTON, June 10.-Senator Nelson has introduced in the senate a bill for increased compensation for soldiers who lost an arm or leg or both in the European war
 Representative Green of Iowa has introduced similar bill in the house.
 The proposed legislation is to rem edy a peculiar situation in the War Risk Insurance act.
 "The law now grants less compen- sation to a man who has lost a limb in the European war than would be granted under pension laws to vet eran of the Civil or Spanish war simi- larly disabled" said MT. Green. "In some cases, the compensation is less than half as much. This is wrong and should be corrected"

 NECK WHILE HE'S SUCKING

A broncho buster employed by J. A. Kellum, the cattleman, breaking horses had a narrow escape from in jury last Friday when his horse pitched with him until it fell and broke it's neck. The horse fell with his head turned under him and as the buster said, q never saw horse die so quick; after he fell he only made one wiggle with his hind foot and was dead" The buster got a good fall, but was only slightly bruised; but he was more sore because he had to walk about four miles into town for another mount.

"NO-ACCIDENT WEEK"
 JUNE 22 TO JUNE 28

Complete details for staging "No- Accident Week." June 22 to 28, inclu- sive, have been decided upon by the safety representative of railroads in the Central Western region, according to announcement from the offices of the railroad administration today.
 H. A. Adams, regional supervisor of safety, has conferred with about sev- enty safety officials of the various lines, the meeting having been held in his office in the Burlington building.
 It develops that the roads in this jurisdiction have, in the aggregate, approximately three hundred and five thousand (305,000) employees, and that each employee is going to be asked to individually do his utmost during period of seven days to keep from being injured himself, or of be- ing the cause of injuring a fellow employee.
 Bulletins, rallies, moving picture exhibits of an educational nature, per sonal appeals, and many other forms of getting into close touch with all employees will be utilized and it is estimated that before June 22 there will be few if any railroad workers in the Central Western region who will not be watching his step" and avoiding personal injury.
 This movement, covering as it does vast territory and affecting an enormous population of high-class in- dustrial workers, is said to be causing unusual interest in every city and town in the West.
 The "No-Accident Week" was deter mined upon by Hale Holden, regional director of railroads, who believes that the cause of safety among rail road men and the public generally may receive a material impetus as a result of it.

PECULIAR LAW CASE
 WORRIES ATTORNEY

An unusual circumstance has now clogged the wheels of justice in Coco nino county, according to letter re- -ceived at the office of the attorney general from George Harbin, for merly a member of the attorney gen. erals force, but now associated with the office of the county attorney of Coconino.
 A Mexican had been arrested on a charge of assault in an attempt to commit rape. The Mexican is deaf mute and has never learned to read and is entirely unfamiliar with the sign language. How isolated he is in this respect was explained by his mother, who said that in order to direct him to any task, such, for in stance, as chopping wood, it was nec- essary to take him to the wood, put an ax into his hands and then make a motion of swinging an ax. There upon he would begin and continue chopping until the ax was taken away from him. In general way he re- sembles ''Percy," the mechanism, "for brains he has nix"
 It was thus impossible. to explain to bUiS Wltil Wildt iiC 10 SSut and, of course, a plea could not be extracted from him. And until he has pleaded, he can not be tried.
 MT. Harbin wrote the attorney gen eral that there were no books at his disposal that threw any light on that kind of case, but he supposed that the attorney general, out of his wider experience, or with a greater avail ability of books, could suggest some procedure in this case, which had put the local prosecutors office up tree.
 The matter was turned over to As sistant Attorney General Mcbride, who wrote that he had sought in vain for a case on all fours, but had found none, nor had he gleaned from the books the slightest hint of aid. But he recalled proceeding in the courts of Graham county at time when the attorney general was prosecutor for that county.
 A Chinaman, deaf mute, had been beaten, choked, and slashed by a group of his countrymen in what had seemed to have been a conflict of the tongs. There were no white witnesses and the complaining Chinaman could not explain precisely what had hap pened to him and he could give no de-

IMPROVING INDIAN STOCK

An effort is being made to raise the grade of Indian stock on the San Carlos Indian reservation. I. I. Ter rel, for the Indian bureau, has just purchased 140 head of registered
 Hereford bulls from I. B. Gillette, of the Barrel Springs farms, near Maria, Tex, for a consideration of $14,000. For about 30 years the Indian Bureau has been trying to help the Apaches to be self-sustaining through stock raising, though not with notable sue cess. A considerable sum is realized for the Indians annually from the grazing privileges on the reservation.

TANK SOLDIER HAS
 AUSTRIAN HYPNOTIZED

How American forces in Italy at the cost of incessant marching and coun- termarching, gave the Austrians op- posing them the impression of hun dred times their actual number, was described by Rev. F. O. Kelley, chap lain of the 332nd Infantry upon his re- turn home here recently.
 American forces numbering less than 5000 men, according to Chaplain Kelley, were estimated by Austrian in- telligence officers as 500,000 men. From base the men would be. march ed to spot within sight of an Aus trian observation balloon, and as soon as darkness fell would be marched quietly back to their base. Next morning they would move conspicu- ously to another camp, only to re- turn to their base the next night. One day the troops would wear their service hats of felt; the next day they would wear their overseas caps, and the next their steel helmets, in order to give the appearance of different attachments.
 "We marched an average of 20 miles day for 15- days with full packs" said Chaplain Kelley. "It cer- tainly became monotonous, and we were forced to the conclusion after a while that our staff officers were hope lessly mixed in their orders. The troops were not hauled either way, for it was desired that they spread out and look as numerous as possible in the day time, and at night the motor lorries were all used for transporting supplies,
 After the big drive started last October we captured among thous- ands of other prisoners an Austrian general staff officer. Questioned by our intelligence department, he said the lowest estimate of the Austrian i'm telligence department was that there were 500,000 Americans in Italy"
