WOOD, AMERICAN
NO0LEN CD. HEAD
IS INDICTED
Charged with Violations of the
Lever Act
ENORMOUS PROFITS CITED
Inquiry Finds $15,51s,ooo Made on a
Years Output of
100000 Yards.
ENORMOUS PROFITS CITED

New York, May 27,-The American
Wooden Company of Massachusetts, a
corporation which manufactures one
fifth of the wooden cloth used in this
country; the American Woolen Com
pany Of New York sales organization
for the parent concern, and William
M. Wood president of them both,
were indicted by the Federal Grand
Jury for this district yesterday under
those provisions of the Lever act which
were framed as stumbling blocks to
the profiteers and which make Grimm
al any dealing in certain necessaries of
life at unjust and unreasonable prices.
The indictment charge Mr., Wood
and the two companies with fourteen
separate acts alleged to be in violation
of wartime law. Each allegation OF
fact recites the sale of piece or
pieces of cloth, giving the date of the
transaction, the cost of the cloth and
the price at which some jobber or
manufacturer purchased it. The trans
actions are alleged to have taken place
In 1920 and purport to show that in
each case where bolt OF cloth was
sold the purchaser paid about twice
what it cost the American Woolen
Company to make.
The jury was informed that original
ly Mr.. Wood on behalf of the two wool
en- companies, had asked for an inves
tigation, stating he desired to have the
approval of the Department of Justice
of what was being done by the Ameri
can Wooden Companies in fixing theii
prices for 1920. The accountants be
gan their work in the belief that the
pr.ces to be charged for 1920 would
be arranged on a basis of II IL pei
cent, above cost to produce.
But the accountants when they came
to testify told the jury that they. had
found that the profit Of the companies
during 1919-in which year there was
strike lasting five months in most OF
their forty-six mills-was $15,5t3,4l4
the output during the year being only
100000 yards, the company's norma
output being 70,000000 yards; and thai
in the present year, when apparently
for the first time the cost plus" sys
tenn of price fixing was adopted, th(
amount of profits averaged seemed tC
be from 800 to 400 per cent above
those OF 1919.

RAILROADS n GIVE REDUCED RATES TO
 ARIZONA STATE FAIR

Railroad officials yesterday an nounced a rate of one fare and a half for the round trip ticket from any point in Arizona to Phoenix for the week of the state fair, November to 13. This will make it possible for hundreds of people to attend the fair who other wise would not be able to do so and is another assurance that the attendance this year will greatly surpass that of any previous year.
 Last years attendance was 60,0O0 by far the largest attendance up to that time, but 1t Is expected that this years attendance figures will be almost twice as great. At least 100. 900 persons are expected to attend this years session. Judging from the interest being mani fested in all parts of Arizona even at this early date.
 New features and enlarged plans for every department will attract thou sands of visitors from all sections of the state and there seems to be no doubt i'll the minds of the various su- perintendents that Phoenix during fair week will be host to the greatest crowds. ever gathered within the city

LAND BOARD REFUSES ID RECONSIDER ITS LEASING RESOLUTION

Claiming at first that no definite ac- ton could be taken until Governor Campbell could be present at the meet ing, and afterwards declaring that the reSoIutlon would remain as originally adopted, the land board yesterday re- fused to reconsider a resolution adopted a week ago that all decisions concern Ing the renewal of state land lease should be withheld until the courts had made ruling in a case now pending before them The request was made at regular meeting ofSthe land board by Dr. B. B. Perrin and his attorney. R. F. Morrison
 A few days ago Morrison sent a let ter to Governor Campbell in which he declared that the resolution in ques- ton, which was presented by Nit Slmms, secretary of state, had mis- stated the facts in that there was no lawsuit pending, especially between Dr. Perrin and the Hudspeth Sheep com pany who had been named in the reso- lution. This letter was transmitted by the governor to the members of the land board.
 Yesterday Dr. Perrin and Morrison appeared in person before the board and repeated their assertions. asking the board to reconsider the resolution because it had been adopted under a mlsapprehension. This mistake. they said, was the same as that embodied III the resolution, and lay in the fact that there is no suit of any description pending between Dr. Perrin and the Hudspeth Sheep company nor has any been anticipated by Dr. Perrin or the company.
 The land board then said that no action concerning a reconsideration of the resolution could be taken unless the governor were present as a mem Der of the board. It was then re- queSted that a special meeting he fe15 next Tuesday. when the governor co,,ld be here. This request was overruled without discussion. the board saving simply that the governor can call a special meeting of the board whenever he desires.

the Bankhead National Highway asso- citation. MT. Potter said:
 There is one outstanding road above all others that the people of Arizona should get behind for designation and construction as q state highway, and that is the famous Apache trail road from Phoenix via the marvellous Roose- welt dam to Globe and then on to Gra- ham and Greenlee counties.
 This wonderful road from Phoenix to the dam is rapidly becoming i'm passable and will soon be a thing of the past unless energetic, united and definite action is taken promptly.
 T cannot understand how the people of Maricopa county, who invested over a half million dollars in this greatest of scenic highways, can allow their in vestment to slip away, and the time has certainly come for them to unite with. the balance of the state in putting this road in first-class shape through the cooperation of Maricopa county. the state of Arizona and the federal government. Notwithstanding reports to tf1e contrary, I am positive that if this road is continued as a state high way, federal funds will be expended in it's improvement.
 While the Roosevelt road will bene- fit Maricopa, Gila, Apache, Graham and Greenlee counties most directly, it's i'm provement and maintenance as a state

 GENERAL ELECTION
 CLOSES OCTOBER 15

Miss Edith M. Jacobs. county re corder has called attention to the fact that only 24 days remain in which to register. The books will close on Oc- tober 15, after which no one will be permitted to register. Unless the voters have registered, they will be unable to vote in the general election and all are urged to see that their names are on the books at once
 An early registration, Miss Jacobs said, will aid materially in preparing the books correctly for the general election. Owing to the heavy regis tration bef0re the primary election and the usual eleventh hour rush of voters to get their names on the books, not enough time was allowed the clerks in the recorders office in which to check the precincts, and as a result Miss Jacobs said, many voters experienced some difficulty in voting, as their names were not properly listed.
 These errors, Miss Jacobs said. can be corrected before the general elec- ton, and she added that a phone call or a letter will bring a registration of ficer to correct such an error. All per sons who know of such mistakes in their registration are urged to notify Miss Jacobs so that they can be cor rected and the books made as nearly perfect as possible for the general election.
 A number of persons. Miss Jacobs said. attempted to vote in the primary election with blanks made in the city registration last spring. These do not entltle a person to vote in the county and state elections and those who at tempted to vote in the primary on such registration are urged to register at once.
