tSPORTY CASHIER AND
 WISE CONFIDENCE MAN

U. s. Deputy Marshall Weage ar rested in Phoenix, few days ago, one of the leaders of the largest ring of confidence men in the United States. The man was wanted on charge of having conspired to defraud a bank cashier, whose name is not given, out of S10,000. The name of the criminal is Collins. Collins is said to have in- terested bank cashier, whom he call ed upon at his bank in small Mis- souri town, some months ago, and the two men went to Indiana, where they purposed selling farm of 160 acres of cut-over land in Colorado for $37 per acre, the price which they were to pay for it being $5 per acre. The cashier was induced to take with him travellers checks to the amount of $10,000. The cashier attempted to cash the check at an Indianapolis bank, after telling the bank officials the deal was on. They warned him against it, but he determined to see it through. A prize fight was stag ed for the benefit of the cashier at one of the towns and it appearing to bim that he had cinch on the out come he bet his money. During the fight the man whom he had backed fell as though badly hurt and the cry went up that the fellows neck had been broken and that the police were looming. The gang decamped and Collins agreed to meet the cashier in Columbus, Ind. He failed to show up and the cashier found that he had been bunked. The officials of the postoffice department took ahand in the pursuit of the criminal gang and it was through this department that Collins was run to earth in Phoenix. c. A. Dutton, postoffice inspector, helped in making the arrest. Collins is said to. have confessed to his parti- cipation in the robbery of the cashier, but disclaims having used the mails for fraudulent purposes.

LARGE CLASS INSTALLED
 BY PYTHIANS LAST SAT.

Last Saturday evening Western Lodge No. 12, Knights of Pythias, in itiated one of the largest classes that have been inducted into secret or der in Kingman in many years, there being twenty neophites in the bunch, with about ten others that failed to show up for the ceremonies. Grand Chancellor J. o. Mullen, of Jerome; Grand Vice Chancellor J. A. Gilbert, of Blobe; G. K. of R. and S., J. D. Loper, of Phoenix. MT. Mullen, of Chicken Springs, in the south part of the county, and about fifteen members from Mohave Lodge 122 of Needles, were also present and aided the local lodge in team work. The work in all the ranks was splendidly put on and the evening was one that the local lodge will remember many years.
 At midnight a splendid supper was served by MT. and Mrs. B. c. Tay- Tor in the banquet rooms of the Odd Fellows building, to which the 100 members and guests did ample jus tice. Not until about 3 a. m. did the meeting adjourn, but all the newly made members, as well as the old ones, say that they had the worth of their money in the good things that they had learned and the ample feed that they had been served with.
 The activity in the order in King man is due largely to the efforts of Grand Vice-Chancellor J. A. Gilbert, who is an ardent member and who up- on looking this field over believed that big lodge could be built up of excellent young fellows, and his judg- ment has been fully justified.

CABLES TURNED BACK TO OWNERS, OTHER WIRE
 SYSTEMS WILL FOLLOW

Control and operation of all Amer ican cable systems, taken over by the government last November, reverted to their private ownership at midnight last night.
 Postmaster General Burleson Thursday issued an order providing for the return of the properties.
 The postmaster general, in making public the formal order, issued a statement reiterating his announce ment, that the telephone and tele- graph lines taken over last July, would be returned as soon as legis- lation could be obtained from con- gress, safeguarding the interests of the owners.
 Government control of the cable lines has been exercised in the midst ot controversies, legal action to res train the postmaster general from seizing their lines having been filed in New York federal court by the Commercial Cable and Commercial Pacific Cable companies, who assert ed that while the presidential procla- mation taking over the lines was signed November 2, the actual seizure was made November ,16, five days af- ter the signing of the armistice, when the companies contended no need for such action existed. The New York courts refused to issue the restrain ing order and appeal was taken to the United States supreme court. Arguments have been heard by the supreme court on the appeal and decision is pending.
 Court officials intimated tonight that attorneys for the plaintiff com panies might seek an agreement to have the case dismissed. ....
 Burleson's action in turning back the cables and intimating that the other wire systems would be turned back in the near future, speaks for itself.
 His control of these wire systems has not been success. .-.

RISE IN MARKET
 PRICE OF LIBERTY BONDS IMMINENT
Some Liquidation Inevitable,
 Says Annalist, but It Is { Healthy Condition

The fact that the market price o Liberty Bonds Is still below par ha brought forth endless discussion among persons who either seek or tr! to give the reasons for the prices. The present prices of Libsrty, Bond. have also been a factor in contribut ing to pessimistic stories as to the diff nculty which the nation will have 1T floating Fifth Loan.
 The situation is we'll set forth | The Annalist, New York financia weekly, as follows:
 Every loan floated, whether 1t be corporate or governmental, re- Quires a certain amount of time to become seasoned. This will be particularly true of our national loans, which have all been sold during periods of tremendous pressure where every appeal was made to the buyer to take the maximum whether or no the se- curity was suited to his needs or within his ability to pay.
 Healthy Gravltation.
 Gradual liquidation from small holders is as inevitable, therefore, as the law of survival. He shall take who hath the power, and he small keep who can. and 1t is in keeping that more strength of character is required than in the resolution necessary to bring one to the point of signing the appli- cation. The gravitation that is going on, therefore. is a healthy function, except, of course, where selling is induced by interruptions swindlers.
 The liquidation from this source represents so many footprints of i the bonds in passage from the hands of the weak to the strong, and every sale that takes place on the board emanating from this source is one step nearer to solid market for Liberty Loans, since it is well-known character istic of those who buy in a de- clining market to hold either for , permanent investment or for so substantial a rise that they are amply compensated for their carry.
 Will Steady Market.
 Much of the money realized from bonds sold to produce writeoffs in the income tax will either lie in banks or go into short-time securities for invest ment and the switching by say ings banks may be safely counted upon to do nearly as much good to the market price of the Liberty Loans as it can harm to rails and municipals. AS a matter of fact the taking of tax exempts from an institution unaffected by taxes and the resale of the same to private individuals is only the nat ural result of gravitation of securi- ties into the final niche in which they are most efficient.
 It is confidently believed, there fore, that turn in the tangent of bond prices is at hand with au especially cheerful prospect for our national loans.

WILL CONTINUE THE ACTIVE
 MANAGEMENT OF LAUNDRY

Since Harry Knight took over the active management of the Mohave Steam Laundry again, he has been working to put the laundry on the basis that he felt would justify the entire confidence and support of the people of the county.
 He now has all experienced help and will endeavor to continue to keep that kind of help. This means a great deal in the laundry business as it guarantees the careful handling of the customers clothes.
 MT. Knight says that business has increased since he took over the man. agement of the laundry and that he expects still better results. Much of the work comes from out of town and some out of the county. The laundry is Kingman institution that deserves the support of Kingman people, along with the stores and other business institutions of Kingman. The salaries of the eight to twelve people employed is spent in the county.
 MT. Knight has arranged special pickup days, Mondays, Wednesdays and Thursdays and delivery days Wednesdays, Thursdays and Satur- days will be delivery days hereafter.
