CHEAP MEALS WONDER.
 Is SOLVED IN ARREST |OF THREE YOUNG MEN

For a sporadic reduction of the cost of living in Bisbee last April, three young men are in custody in San Diego Deputy Sheriff William D.. Bennett of Cochise county arrived in the city yesterday with an application for acquisitions for the fugitives. who are Julius Jacques, John Quinn and Vincent Unfug. The papers in the case will be sent to Acting Governor Simms, who is now at Prescott.
 Though so far in this narrative 1t appears that the young men are want ed for their part in a flank movement on H. c. L., they are charged with larceny by means of burglary. The complainant is H. R. Tovrea, manager of the firm of E. A. Tovrea & Co.,, of Bisbee, who claims to have solved a nine days wonder in Bisbee about the middle of last April. Such meals as w. D. Patterson, a restaurant pro- prietor, set up to his patrons for four bits, it was believed could not be du- | plicated anywhere else in the United l States. Those who sat at his lunch counter and his tables came to be- | lieve that all this talk about the high

Confessions ofaRidg
 lcoparigt 1920 by he Newspaper Enterprise As,ociao

With superb carelessness, splendid pearls were dumped in the bag to ruo against hard sapphires and diamonds, and a lot of priceless birthday gems such as emeraIds and rubies- The val ue of all the rings ran up into tens of thousands of dollars. I thought, as observed how carelessly Ann was handling them.
 There are two classes of persons in thfs world, I thought as Ann shook the bag of rings above her head and ran upstairs with it. One class i5 con- structive the other destructive. There are no neutrals. If one does not build up, one tears down what others build. Ann is essentially destructive. Not | always intentionally, but often merely because she is SO lazy. Instead of talk l ing pains to hide those rings, instead | of informing Morrison about them and certainly the detective had right ! to know, since he was indirectly re- | sponsible for them-instead of doing | anything sensible with them. Ann
 Ann simply dropped her gold bag into l the first handy place.
 Help yourselves when you want them, girls she said as she took her place in the ballet. They're in the top drawer of my dresser"
 I started to say that hoped no one but an owner would help himself to 1 thu treasure Suspense concerning what might happen to them made me
 awfuIly uneasy. For MT Best wouldn't be the only uninvited and u.-welcome
 guest on the grounds that night.
 I wanted to get Bob on the phone
 but it was too late for me to leave my place in the row of dancers. Wher I considered the amount of sentiment
 attached to some of those rings, real
 ized how terrible it would be to have | to account for them to the girls. None,
 value had little to do with the love o1 their owners had for them. There
 were birthday, engagement and wed ding rings in the lot. And Willy Var

 She would never stop mourning 1T ;

 The Lor1mer grounds were aston lshingly well suited for the rally. The crowd was admitted at the front en- trance; it spread over the park and around the lake. it invaded the sacred blue garden, spooned under the per- goia, and the early arrivals took the choice places on the brink of the green swarded bowl. from which to get a perfect view of the ballot-balIet
 Back of the meadow, in a corner of the park stood Ann's house and mine. They made the most convenient dress ing rooms for all who were to appear in the pageant The boy scouts who were helping us, used my house, and the girls strung their dainty garments rom end to end of Ann's second floor, After We were costumed, and fileted and rouged and powdered. each of ,,s was carefully inspected by the direc- tor of the dance. Even the rose wreaths on our cropped heads had to be tilted at an exact angle. and ua girls were vastly relieved when at last the director was ready to view us ensemble.' And then. to o1Ir vas, astonishment, he called through his megaphone:

 There were several enlargement rings In the lot, rings of this years harvest and, Of course. the proud possessors were exceedingly loath to lose a chance to display them
 But the director was obdurate.
 My mistake, I admit" he said Ought to have warned you to leave the things at home. Ought not to have taken 1t for granted that you'd do so sorry. But off they'll have to come gir1s."

Patterson's and watch the explosion of the myth.
 Almost coincident with the tumbling of prices of meals and a corresponding rise in their quality was a discovery by Tovrea and company, made in the course of an inventory, that the stock was being depleted. For sometime no connection could be established be- tween this discovery and the large portions and small checks at Patter- sons.
 The manager soon developed a sus- picion and put Unfug, a youth of IS on the carpet. He said that he and Quinn Jacques and George Lunsford had been supplying Patterson with meat at prices which bore no relation whatever to Chicago and Kansas City figures, and still less to local prices of steers on the hoof. Unfug said that he and his associates had been surreptitiously entering the shop and removing meats, which they de- posted at Patterson's back door in the night time. receiving therefor half the market price.
 Naturally, Tovrea and company felt sore about it. It was bad enough to
 lose the meat, but that was nothing to having their trade taken away by such marked underselling. Patterson ad- mitted, according to the statement in | the papers in the application for the requisition, that he had been transact | ing business with these meat dealers | but it had not occurred to him to ques- | ton them regarding their source oi | supply. If he had seen anything ir | the whole affair to excite his wonder nnent it was at the nerve of the Tow l req company in charging such prices I for meat when he was buying it for SC much less. Here was a rich and pow | erful firm with a vast organization

ments a tax commensurate with that paid by other real estate, how should the tax of mines be imposed and col- lected?" The answer is: In precisely the same manner that taxes are now imposed and collected on other real estate; that is, according to their value, for revenue only and under modernized administration.
 MT. Zander yesterday received telegram from Professor Robert M. Hague of the chair of economies at Cornell University equesting a copy of his report.

MARINES KILLED
 225O HA|T|ANS IN FIVE YEARS

WASHINGTON, Oct. 27. - Public erican marines in Haiti was begun today by the special naval court of inquiry with the examination of Bri- gadier General George Barnett, for mer commandant of the marine corps, and Major Edmund N Me Clellan, of the corps historical divi- sion. The court will meet again to- morrow, but no further witL esses have yet been summoned
 Previous Total Corrected
 General Barnett told the court that his charge of ''indiscriminate kill ing" of natives in Haiti which promp- ted the inquiry had been based on the record of the court martial of two marine corps privates, Walter K. Johnson and John J. McQuilkin, Jr. He corrected a previous an nouncement that total of 3250 na- otherwise during the five. years of American occupation of the repub- lie, explaining that an error in addi- tion made in the historical section of the corps resulted in this an. ncuncement He had learned since, he said, that the total was 225O.
 Many Bandits Killed
 Major Mcclellan, m whose office the casualty list was compiled. sub- mitted table showing he recorded number of bandits Killed He said that very few had met death other wse than in action Native casual ties in 1915, the first year Of the oc- equation, were placed at PIP; those in 1916 at 50; in 1917 at 2: 1919 at 35, in 1919 at 1861 and in 1920 at 90.
 The witness explained that the large casualty list last year was due tC attacks in force by the bandits on Port Au Prince and to the campaigns conducted in the hills.
 Based Only On Record
 General Barnett said he wanted it made clear that his letter of last year to Colonel John H. Russell in which the reference was made to "indiscriminate killing" of natives was based only on the record of the trial. He added, however, that the statement of counsel and testimony in those cases so shocked him that he had directed further investiga- ton. He reiterated that by 'indis criminate killing" he had not meant (CONTINUED ON PAGE FIVE)
