ANOTHER OIL co.
 IN VERDE VALLEY

Another oil company has made its appearance from the Verde valley and it is probable that many people will be separated from their good coin by these oily-tongued promoters. The Chino valley was a productive field for these fellows and now another field of the same character is to be invaded. No one would object if these gentry would put a portion of the money obtained from the public into development, but the fact it that more than ninety per cent of it goes into the pockets of the promoters. When the Chino companies were organized the shares were turned over to the company at 2 1-2 per share and the holding company sold the shares for whatever they saw fit, although the parent company under no circum- stances got more than the agreed price. And even then the parent com pany had to stand the office expense and advertising out of it's poor share of the proceeds. It is said that one Chino oil company sold over $2OO,OOO worth of stock, but the parent cor poration received less than $11, ,O0O of this amount.

SHOW LOCATION OF WATER
Signs on Painted Desert in the Soath. west Guide Travellers to the
 Precious Liquid.

Travel off the beaten paths in the famous Painted desert of the South west would be dangerous matter were it not for the stone sentinels set up by the Navajo Indians to direct the stranger travelling through that coun- try, where once there was water in plenty, but where now are only the dry beds of rivers.
 These sentlnels are piles of rocks, as high as man, located on rises of ground where they may be readily seen. In the body of the monument Is placed projecting rock which is arranged to point the direction to the nearest spring or waterhole. If one follows the direction indicated, al though he may have to proceed a con siderable distance, the precious wa ter will always be found. ,,..
 Frequently 1t is only a very weak seep supplying no more than few cups in an hour. Or 1t may be pool located deep in the recesses of rocky ledge and collected from the snows of the past winter. Sometimes 1t is situated in an !out-of-the.way place, and then there may be two, or even three smaller monuments erect ed along the route designated. .u.
 Also along the way there may be arrows cut in the rocks or crooked grooves symbolizing the windings of a brook or signs of various kinds which will attract attention. These directions all help to make the way palmer and reduce the chance of the traveller becoming confused, ..

"Chief among the counts against Sen
ator Wadsworth are his votes on the

of woman suffrage has from the out
set been strong count against Wads-
worth with Federation representatives
"On the Esch- Cummins railroad bill
opposed by labor because of its labor
provisions and because of its financial
guarantee to the railroads by which
dividends were guaranteed without any
requirement of a compensating service
and under which loans were authorized
for equipment without any protection
of the public, Senator Wadsworth
voted consistently for the measure, ac-
cording to Federation records"

Gambling House Stuck Up

Detective Slain and Bandit Shot
as Philadelphia Officers Catch
New York Band at Work
Special Dispatch to The Tribune


PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 3.-A momen
before police raided gambling house
in Passyunk Avenue early this morn
ing, a gang of New York gunner at
tempted. to hold up the patrons Ir
the revolver battle with the police
Joseph McGinn. city detective, was
fatally wounded and Christopher Mu.
rano, one of the bandits, suffered bull
let wounds in the abdomen that may
cause his death.
McGinn died this afternoon in the
Pennsylvania Hospital. On bed mean
him, Murano complacently watched a
delicate operation and persistently re-
fused to make a statement The two
men were placed near each other in
the hospital in the vain hope that Nc
CHM might regain consciousness fong
enough to identify Murano as the man
who shot him.
Four other alleged bandits were cap
tured and the rest escaped before riot
calls that were sent in to nearby police
stations brought reinforcements. The
police believe the gang numbered
eleven or twelve men. The police are
working on the theory that Phila-
delphian in the gang tipped off his as
soclates in New York that there was
to be a considerable quantity of money
in the game and that it would be
worth while to come to this CITY TO
get some of it.
The four bandits arrested, as we'll
as Murano, are being held on charges
of murder and robbery. The highway
men who escaped carried most Of the
money with them, it is believed
The men arrested besides Murano
gave the names of Louis Colo, Saliva
tore Battaglia and Salvatore Spanelli.
They gave New York addresses.
