OBITUARY

Thosmas H. Brown was born in
New London, Chester county, Pa,
seventy-six years ago. He enlisted in
the 124th Pennsylvania Volunteers
when a boy of nineteen and took part
in the battles of Antietam, Chan
celorsville, Bull Run and many others
during his service Of four years.
During his army experiences his
health was greatly impaired by hard
ships endured which left him a life
long sufferer.
He came to Ohio in 1878, where he
has since lived, having made his
home in Chatham the past several
years. A few years after having
come to this State he united in mar
riage to Celia M. Castle, who some
years ago preceded him to the other
world.
His ancestors came over to this
country with William Penn. His
great-great- grandfather was the first
male child born on the site of Phil
adelphia. His father and mother
were both Quakers and lie at rest in a
NxudkcI CClIlCCCIy. liz 10 Vic Aoov "
a family of seven children. Three
days before the recent celebration OF
the birthday of our Lord Jesus Christ,
the deceased made his confession of
faith in Christ, and personal ac-
ceptance of Him as his Savior from
sin and hope for a future blissful i'm
mortality, and was baptized as the
evening shadows were gathering
and the curtains of night were being
drawn. Thus ends the earthly pill
grimage of one who walked the
streets of our village for 10 these
many years so that we are again re-
minded of the words from the Book
of Books "Man goeth to his long
home, and the mourners go about the
streets" We come today to pay this
tribute of respect to one who has
passed intothe beyond with the hope
of leaving some thought for the bene-
fit of the living.
After the services conducted at
the home by the Rev. ]. E. Paddock,
D. D.. Phi. D., the body was laid be-
side his wife who preceded him in
death. Both sleep in the local ceme-
terry of Chatham.

STANDARD INCREASES
 PRICE OF GASOLINE
 AND ALSO FUEL 0|[

The Standard Oil company of Cali
 fOrnia announces an increase Tn the
 price of its gasoline of ? cents per gal
 lon and an increase of p cents per
 barrel for fuel oil. At the same time
 the company offers an increase for
 crude oil at the well of 9 cents per
 barrel for all grades. The increases are effective March IT.
 In explaining the necessity for these
 increases, K. R. Kingsbury, president of the Standard Oil company, made the
 following statement:
 'These advances in the prices of pe
 troleum products are the natural and
 direct result of a shortage in petroleum
 supply, coupled with an increased de-
 mand. not only in California, but
 throughout the country. For example
 in the east prices of gasoline have
 reached such high level that it is now practicable for eastern buyers to pur
 chase this product in California, pay all transportation charges and market it at a profit as far east as the At lantic. Today gasoline sells for 2S1s cents wholesale in New York, against 1912 cents in San Francisco. a differ ence of 9 cents per gallon. Rail freight from San Francisco to New York is ' cents per gallon. water freight not to exceed 4 cents per gal
 lon. This gives sufficient margin to
 make shipments very profitable. The movement or gasoline rom the Pacific coast to higher markets has al ready begun. If continued, the Pacific coast supply will speedily be drained away. If protective measures are not taken, if the wide gap between prices here and elsewhere continues to exist, the problem for the motorist and for industry on the Pacific coast will De to get any gasoline or fuel oil at alE at whatever price, The manufactures cannot control the disposition. of his product after it's sale; therefore no re- finery, nor all of the refineries of the Pacific coast ombined, can keep Cali fornia gasoline if it can be shipped
 east. or exported by joobers, for resale at higher rates.
 "The increase of 9 cents per barrel.
 which the company now offers for
 crude oil at the we'll. takes prices to the highest point in the history of Califor- mia oil. This increase, it is hoped, will result in increased production in the California oil fields, and thereby off set the shortage which is forcing the price of fuel oil upward"

E. E. TARIFF CHANGES
 ID INJURY IF STATE
 ARE TO BE OPPOSED

Proposed railroad tariff changes of the most momentous importance to Arizona's business men will be fought vigorously at Washington within the next few days by Corporation Com missioner F. A. Jones and other west ern representatives, according to an- nouncement by him yesterday just prior to his departure last night on the g.: 80 train for the east.
 A meeting of representatives from corporation commissions and railroad companies all over the United States is called by the interstate commerce commission to discuss and recommend now the brethren in the Dokies come missions order from congress to so adjust railway rates that all lines will be guaranteed a minimum profit of per cent. The guarantee is a part of the bill restoring the railroad con- trol to private ownership.
 Two methods for maintaining the guarantee are proposed, one being to treat the entire United States as an entity, and the other to divide it into eastern, southern and western dis tricts. In case the division plan is chosen, the representatives will then have an opportunity to recommend the makeup of the divisions. Comnnis- sioner Jones favors the districtins plan and desires to have the states of Arizona, Colorado, Nevada, Utah. Cali fornia and New Mexico comprise the western division.
 The eastern states, it is claimed, de- sire to have the guarantees based on the plan for treating the nation as a unit, because many of the eastern railroads have not been profitable Of late and the nation unit plan would tax the west and south to meet the per cent guarantee for the eastern lines For the same reason, the west ern and southern districts are clamor- ing for protective divisions that will keep the cream of the profits where if originates.
 Some of the western railroads, the commissioner says, are paying as high as 20 per cent, and there is grave dan- ger that the profits in excess of the guaranteed per cent minimum or per cent maximum would have to be diverted for the support of the lines in the east This, the commissioner says, would result in greatly increased freight rates here.
 The states for the western district as proposed by Commissioner Jones would take in the prospering Southern Pacific and Santa Fe lines. besides the two weak lines of the Colorado Mid land and Western Pacific. but the weak lines are a factor that cannot be eliminated. it is said. and the burden of carrying them would be as nothing in comparison with the burden Of car rying the lame ducks" in the east
 Rate Expert D. R. Johnson of the commission accompanied Commis sioner Jones.

STATE FIELD SECY. FOR' FLORENCE CR|TTENTON. .COMES TO TELL NEEDS.

Mrs. Nellie B. Atwater. national or ganizer and state field secretary for the work in Arizona of the tlorence Crittenton Home. is now in the city and will call upon the ladies of Phoe- nix in their homes to tell them of he needs and plans for the local home "America's Best Charity Arizona $ most worthy welfare work.
 The Florence Crittenton Mission was established by the late Charles N. Crit tenton of New York City.
 After the death of his four year old daughter, Florence, his great grief for his idolized child led him to feel lis responsibility to God and he gave hls life, unreservedly to the Masters ser vice. There are now IS homes in the United States and five in foreign lands to attest to his consecration and gen. erosity.
 The Florence Crittenton Mission could not have had a more beautiful inception-a fathers love for his baby girl At first the work was confined to the rescue Of fallen women and girls. Later it was broadened, until now the doors of these homes are open to all unfortunate women and girls who need it's help. As the work pro- gressed the work of prevention was added and has been enlarged upon and close upon the heels of it's beginning was started a unique humane move ment in child welfare that must appeal tremendously to every intelligent man and woman.
 The Phoenix home was established in 1897 and has since fulfilled all the requirements of the mission. It offers a temporary home to women and girls out of employment. Here they are welcomed until employment can be found or they can be placed with friends.
 To the unfortunate who has strayed from the path of virtue and wishes to reform, there is always a welcome and everything possible will be done to help her.
 Special efforts will be made to care for young girls who are found in inn proper surroundings.
