In news item which has been go. ing the rounds of the state, giving the list of state candidates on the democratic ticket it is mentioned that Guy C. Welch. present county treasur. CT of Cochise is a candidate for state treasurer. This is, of course, an CT. roneous report. as Mir Welch never has announced himself a candidate for state honors. but is a candidate for reelection to the office he now holds.

 The building which was razed re- gently to make way for the construc- tion of a modern moving picture theater, was built more than 30 years ago and as there is nothing by which the police can establish a means of Identification, it is probable that this will remain one of the mysteries of Phoenix.

TUCSON CAR INSPECTOR IS
 ACCUSED BY OWN DAUGHTER

PHOENIX, July 1.-Charged with an uncomfortable crime against his own daughter, a beautiful 1syear-oid girl. Charles Hannon, we'll known ill Tucson railroad circles will be taken from Tucson today by Deputy Sheriff Gene Barbish to Austin. Texas, there to face the grand jury of Travis coun- ". One of the most revolting fea- lures of the strange case, according 10 the officers. Is the fact That the young woman may become a mother, in which case the child would be her half sister, it is believed
 The alleged criminal relations be- the indictment. started when she was but II years of age. and continued from time 10 time up until short time ago. The matter has been kept secret. according to the girls state. ment 10 the officers because of the fathers threats that he would kill the girl, her mother. his sister and hiE- self should she ever reveal the truth.
 Hannon left Austin in 1916. and for some time past has been employed in the Turson railroad yards as car inspector He is between 40 and 45 years of age, a man of pleasing per sonaity and well thought of by his fellow workmen up to the time of his arrest, there being not even a suspicion of wrong doing of any kind.
 The daughters story came out in Austin a few days ago. She was there on a visit with her mothers relatives aud when ,he time came for her to return 10 Tucson. she declared em- phatically that she would die first. She could not tell the reason why. she declared, but finally relatives succeeded in securing a confession, and this was corrobo-ated in part by a physicians examination.
 Extradition papers were issued for Hannon following a hearing held in executive chambers at the capitol yesterday. The indicted man was rep resented by Attorney Davidson Of Tucson, who opposed extradition on the grounds that if crime had been committed it had been committed in Arizona, and that therefore the Ari. ,zona courts had jurisdiction.

OFFICIALS DO NOT FEAR eUBoNIc PLAGUE
 PREVALENT IN MEXICO

TUCSON, June 30.-Appearance ot the bubonic plague in Mexico has caused little concern in Tucson. Dr. F.. J. Gotthelf. county health officer has received no instructions from the state health department regard. ing precautions leading to the me. lief that no fears of the disease reach. ing Arizona are fel, by the state health officers.
 The local immigration office will not be affected in any way. R. A. Scott, inspector in cnarge, stated that the ports of entry would be the only parts of the service to take measures against the disease. All i'm. migrants are given rigid medical ex. aminatlons before entering so that there was little likelihood of the disease entering this country through the ports of entry.
 Bubonic plague has been reported prevalent in several parts of Mexica It is being carefully guarded against by the United States Public Heal.h Service, The disease made its ap- pearance in New Orleans few years ago but was soon eliminated through the aid of rat proofng" The germs w@e carried into New Orleans by rats which were brought there by ships from South American countries. The "rat proofing" of all buildings soon eliminated the rats and conse- quently the plague. Only few deaths resulted during the slight epi. demic.
 Bubonic plague is believed to he identified with the plague known aS the black death which was prevalent in China many centuries ago l, at. tacks the lymphatic glands in the neck, armpits, groins and other par:s of the body. Its modern name is de. rived from the medical term, buho. meaning a hardening Of the lympha- tic glands. The swollen parts are extremely sensitive 10 the touch an ! the patient suffers from headache high fever and prostration. In severe eases. death generally ensues in As hours and, at best, recovery is slow
 The disease is usually spread by animal. Mice. rats. cats and monkeys have all been agents in bringing the disease from foreign ports. Great car is taken by quaratine authorities Go prevent agencies from entering the ports

PRISONER IS CAPTURED
 AFTER SIEGE OF $ HOURS

DOUGLAS, July l-Soon after day light yesterday morning. John Grande, who for more than 6 hours had held posse Of officers al bay, responded 70 a summons from D.. putty Sheriff Sam Boucher, who was looking al him over the barrel of a gun showed through a window. held up his hands and came forth in q peaceable manner Grande is in the city jail awaiting preliminary hear.
 ing on charges Of attempted assault on young woman and resisting an officer
 Grande is alleged 10 have gone to house near his place of business shortly before midnight Tuesday and made an attempt 10 assault a young woman. Two other Mexican women were in the house at the time and they immediately notified Depu. ty Sheriff Boucher who found Grande intrenched in the place and when he sought to enter he was greeted with four shots. This convinced the de- putty that more than one officer was needed and he returned to the Do lice station for aid
 When Boucher and the other off cers reached the scene they found the fort still occupied and the siege lasted from about midnight until dawn. More than 1000 shots were fired into the building, but Grande was safe behind a cement ice-chest and was uDinjured. He had nearly s600 in cash in his place of business, pistol. rifle and shotgun.
 Grande came to Douglas about four years ago from Tucson. bringing le.. ters of recommendation from three or four business houses of the old Pueblo. He bought an old wagon and horse on credit, obtained some vegetables with the understanding that he would pay for them when he sold the first wagon load and he made good. Gradually he enlarged his business until he opened up an establishment of his own. He is said to be worth between 5000 and s700O and his credit is good here.
 Grande declares he thought the of. ficers were trying 10 rob him. an1 asserts he did not know they were trying to arrest him. They looked like anyone else to him in the darE, he said, and he thought the best thing for him to do was to defend himself and his money. He denies he tried to attack the young woman

the entire top story. The last word in office equipment can be seen throughout the company's office
 During the past year the Machine company has been experimenting on a farm tractor under the supervision of Edward Glass. This tractor is a departure from the ordinary concep ton of a farming tractor and, accord ing to reports, promises to revolution ize the tractor industry. It is prob able that this spring will find the trac- tor on the market The success of the tractor is expected to result in further expansion of tho company's business.
 The officials of the Machine com pany who are largely responsible for the conlpans's rapid strides during the past decade are President F. G. Platt and General Manager and Treas urer Herbert H. PeaSe. It has been said of r. G. Platt that no concern in the city of New Britain ever starts on a new venture without first ob- taining his view on the matter. If MT. Platt decides unfavorably it gen. orally means the death knell. MT. Platt and MT. Pease are entire oppo- sites in their temperamentS, the for mer being particularly conservative, the latter a human dynamo.
 Much credit should be given to Charles Hare, superintendent of pro- duction, of whom it is said that an excuse never got by for poor work manship. He expects the best of his workman and gets it.
 Union Mfg. Co.
 The Union Manufa curing company employed approximately 200 opera tives in the factory in 1910. The pay roll for 1919 averages 45O hands, an increase of about 125 per cent. The

Union Works produces lathe drill and planer chuckS.
 The company passed it's 50th ami versary in 1916 but owing to the rush of war work for foreign powers and the unusual business conditions, no celebration of the anniversary was held. \. r. Corbin, president of the concern, states that conditions are unusually favorab ble and that the off, cials look forward to a prosperous season during 1920.
 Other Factories.
 According to the statement of Hen- " C. M. Thomson. president of the Am merican Hardware corporation, the growth of the mammoth concern dur ing the past 10 years has been about two and one-half per cent. While he did not quote the employment of the corporation in 1910, he said that at present between 5000 and 5000 per sons were on the corporation payrolls.
 Rapid growth has been made at F'afnir Bearing company, one of the most progress i've concerns of the city. Secretary Maurice Stanley has given out figures showing that in 1911 the l'afnir concern had in it's employ between 10 and 15 people. Today the plant is operated by $50 employees. a gain of more than 4,0O0 per cent.
 The Beaton & Caldwell company re- ports 6o employees at present in com- parison with 45 in 1910. This is a A per cent. gain.

the plant and the amount of work that has been steadily increasing since the last census was taken.
 The Stanley Rule X Level Co. The Stanley Rule & Level company reports that at the present time there are 1.o6S employees on their payroll but as they did not file the report of how many were employed at the fac tory in 1910 no figures were given as to how many were working at the plant at that time. However, the of ficials announce that undoubtedly the increase in the past nine years has been large, as additional factory room has been made and the amount of new work has warranted the increase of labor. Officials report that a rough estimate could not be given as no one could anywhere near guess the in- crease.
 Office Is Doubled.
 The Rogers, Sash and Door com- pany reports that although the amount of factory help has not in creased greatly the number of office help has increased almost double in the past nine years. The number en- ployed in the factory in 1910 were while at the present time there are ,. As this plant does not manufac- ture but constructs and erects goods received from other plants. the in crease of laborers was not necessary.
 Memberships Increase.
 Together with the increase of labor and development in local industries, the mem berships at the local |. M C. A. have increased over 33 Is per cent since 1910. In 1910 there were 1.500 mem berships at the Y. N. c. A, while at the present time there are over 2.1o0, making an increase OF about 600.
