Tanks May Tow Raraes.

When the swords are beaten into
plowshares, what is to happen to the
tanks? Many people must have asked
themselves this question, and c. j.
Aubertain's recent article in the Lon
don News suggests an answer, for,
with slight notifications, the "whip-
pets" at any rate, might well be used
as tractors on the towpaths of our
reconstructed state canals. The French
government, 1 am told, observes a
writer in the Edinburgh Scotsman has
made experiments already in this very
direction and has found that a light
tank is capable of hauling four fully
laden barges at a speed of two miles
an hour, which is about twice that
of a horse. Mechanical traction, has
been employed on some of the Ger
man canals for some considerable time.

Packers Ey-Products.

The by-products obtained in the
packing house industry may be divided
into two classes-the edible and the
inedible. The inedible constitute the
external covering Chair, horns, hoofs
and hides), some of the offal and the
bones. From these are prepared
great variety of substances, some of
which have developed into enormous
Industries in themselves, such as
leather, soap, glue and fertilizer. The
last mentioned represents the ultimate
utilization Of packing house waste.
For example, in the manufacture of
buttons, combs, knife handles and
spatulas from the horns and hoofs of
cattle and sheep and the hoofs of hogs
the waste resulting from the prepara-
tion of these articles was at one time
thrown away, but it has been found
that by treating such material with
sulphuric acid, the nitrogen which it
contains becomes available as a fertil-
izer.

FORMER LEGISLATOR FROM MAINE VISITS
 STATE HE ASSISTED

Hon. Frank F. Guernsey and Mrs. Guernsey. of Dover, Me, arrived in the l city Friday night and will remain per- haps until early next week, as MT. Guernsey is desirous of visiting the Roosevelt dam. Though this is the first visit of MT. Guernsey to Arizona for some years he has felt proprietary interest in the state.
 MT. Guernsey had much to do with the fact that it became a state. He was a member of congress from the fourth Maine district, succeeding the late Llewellyn Powers, in the sixtieth, serving through the three succeeding terms. During that service he was a member of the house committee on territories, covering the most fiery period Of Arizonas efforts to break into the sisterhood of states.
 He remembered the vast personal ef- fort that W. H. Andrews, delegate in the house from New Mexico, made in the fate of the statehood bill, for Mir Andrews was looking forward with confidence to a United States senator ship. While the statehood bill was pending in the senate, MT. Guernsey said that Mir. Andrews visited him one day and asked him if he could secure for him large quantity of maple sugar from Maine. Now, it may not be known, only to experts, that the quali- ty of maple sugar depends upon the locus of the sugar trees. More is heard of Vermont maple, probably because there is more of it on the market, but it is surpassed in flavor and sweetness by the maple sugar of Maine.
 MT. Gurensey. without having been appriSed by Andrews as to what he was going to do with the sugar. secured

Liberal use or the mails for ordering transmission, special delivery packages and regis tered letters also are in evidence, while there is abundance of testimony, said Sheriff Montgomery, that money was rushed to I. w.

 In the verbatim statement which Sheriff Montgomery asserted he ob- tained from the former secretary, be- fore a witness, the following questions and answers appear:

 Q. You were confident that some of the members of the I. ". W. were responsible for the fires?

 c. You have men in the organiza- ton doing the same thing yet?
 A. Yes, but it is awfully hard to find out a man like that until he has gone an awfully long ways. Some of the men are in Sacramento. There was a fellow down from there, who told me privately that some of the Sacramento bunch were guilty.
 Sheriff Montgomery stated he had been pursuing his investigation into I. w w. affairs since the first of the year. He declared that if it were pos sible. he would prevent the outbursts of incendiarism in the Salt River val ley which characterized former sum- mers, and to this end he had concen- trated on an I. W.

Tom Brown, negro paroled pris-

days in the county Jail this morn

Brown purloined a suit of under

deemed probable by the police that
the paroled man will eventually
be returned to the penal institution
from which he was paroled.
George Roberts also was SEN

is said to be a well known police

SAW WILSON ON
PARIS STREETS
Harry Schaffer, Rock Island Boy,
Writes of Great welcome Given
President In Paris.

Harry Schaffer, son of former
Mayor and Mrs. q. c. Schaffer,
1543 Fourteenth street, who has a
clerical position with the American
expeditionary forces, was in Paris
at the time of the arrival of Presi-
dent and Mrs. Wilson. Writing
Dec. IA to his parents he says:
1.-THE president and Mrs. Wilson
arrived here at 10 a. N. today and,
believe me, it has certainly been a
| big day in Paris-one of the big
gest we have had since the day the
armistice was signed.
when I left the barracks this
morning on my way to breakfast
about s a. m. all the benches and
captured cannon along the Champs
Elysees, which. by the way, is sup
| posed to be the finest boulevard in
| the world, were already occupied
and probably had been since a.
m. Before o'clock there wasn't
even standing room along the curb
! ings of any street on the line of
march.
There was an order out to the
effect that certain place had been
| provided for all members Of the
A. E. F. and any man caught
watching the procession away from
| this particular place would be ar
| rested. But our commanding Off
J ceG got around that by issuing US
passes to the office. The office
happens to face on the Champs
| Elysees and it has wide windows
with little rallied balconies. Plenty
of room for all of US. So we got as
good view as anyone could wish.
Nearly everyone spoke of it as
being a parade, but it wasn't. It
merely consisted of seven car
riages surrounded by a guard of
honor. First came the gendarmes
! tpolicemen) mounted on bicycles,
/ followed by the Guard of the Re
public, mounted on horses and sur
rounding the vehicles on three
sides. The first carriage con-
tanned President Wilson and Presi-
dent Poincare, and the second Mrs.
and Miss Wilson and Madame Poin-
care. The other five were occupied
| by such notables as Premier Glenn
enceau and General Bliss and
Pershing, etc. That was all except
the French infantry and cavalry
that lined both sides of the street.
! along the entire route.
81 have never in my whole life
seen such a crowd as there was on
the streets this morning. / really
| believe there were more people out
| to greet President Wilson than
there were for the king of England
and the king OF Belgium put to-
gether."

Of Robert Z. MOrOss Follow

Queer Coincidence.

death due to accidental shoot
ing" is the verdict reached last
night by a coroner's jury in an in
vestfgation into the death of Rob
ert R. Moross, 33 years old, which
occurred at 1915 Sunday morning
at st. Anthony's hospital. The end
came following helnorrhages
caused by a gunshot wound in the
head sustained about 6:15 Satur-
day evening at the home of his
parents, Mr.. and Mrs. John Moross,
r413 TWenty-first street.
Tragedy visited the Moross
household just before supper Sat
urday evening. According to a sis
ter, Miss Tillie Moross, her brother
met his fate Saturday night just
after he had finished dressing for
show to which he had intended
taking his little nephew.
Miss Moross testified at the in
quest that her brother was sit
ting on the edge of his bed exam
ming a 32-caliber automatic Colts
revolver when she came into the
room to summon him for the even
ing meal.
81 begged him to put the gun
away. but he only laughed and in
formed me that he was no child
and could take care of himself"
declared Miss Moross. Just then
father passed the door and l once
more implored him to put the fire
arm away. In my earnestness {
reached for the gun and as he
1erked his hand up there was an
explosion and Robert fell to the
floor. Father rushed into the room

Immediately and after administer
ing first aid, rushed my brother to

A cursory examination of the
wounded man disclosed that the
bullet had plowed through the top
OF the skull. making clean hole
without touching the brain. Had
the ball not severed an important
artery in the head, recovery would
have been assured. according to
Dr. De Silva, but hemorrhages
caused by the cutting of the blood
vessel brought death.
The unfortunate young man was
conscious until within rs minutes
of the end, although he was unable
to speak. At 1850 he relapsed
into the semi-consciousness of the
death coma and breathed his last
at 1915.
Clocks Stop at Death Hour.
When the family was notified of
the death of son and brother just
after he had passed away, mem
bers state that several clocks
throughout the house, although re-
Gently wound up, had stopped at
11:50, each within a few seconds
of the same hour. When the dead
mans watch was removed from his
pocket, the family say, 1t too had
stopped at 1850, the hour at which
Robert Moross stepped forward
into the shadowy def1le approach
ing the great beyond.
Robert R. Moross was born in
Rock Island, Nov. ID, 1856. and was
a lifelong resident of this city. He
attended the public schools here
and for a year was enrolled at the
