TO the Editor OF The Star:
If arrangements could be made to
have President Wilson and President
elect Harding ride to the Capitol and
back to the White House in the
Washington family coach now at
Mount Vernon it would be a source
of great satisfaction to the thousands
who will witness the parade. 1t

TOMBSTONE, Ariz., January 21.-
The Bisbee deportation kidnapping
cases-the largest prosecution ever
conducted in the criminal courts of
the west and probably in the United
States-came up in the Superior
court here today.
Three hundred defendants all
prominent Arizonans and many veal
thy, were arraigned before Judge S.
L. Pattee of Tucson who was sitting
in the place of Judge A. C. Lockwood
of Cochise county who has been dis
qualified on affidavits from the defen-
Sc.
Most of the defendants already have
had hearings at Douglas where they
attracted attention through the daily
trips of the "Kidnappers Special
from Bisbee, where the majority of
them live. The defendants were so
numerous that special train was
chartered to carry them to court.
Trial of the kidnapping cases was
set for February 2, by Judge Pattee.
No case in Arizona history has at
tracted the attention that the depor-
tation cases have attracted. AS a
result exceeding difficulty in secur-
ing jury is predicted. A jury list
of 1900 names has been made up and
it is planned to call large number in
the first panel.
The present prosecution started af-
ter the federal courts had quashcl
indictments against a number of
those alleged to have been implicated,
on the grounds that the proper rem
edy was with the state and not the
federal courts. Federal Judge Joseph
Morrow of San Francisco made the
ruling.

SOME EMINENT SHOES
IN THE STREET

Hard for human beings to see very
far ahead-even financiers. No so
long ago bankers believed automobiles
would become a drug on. the market
and when William G. Durant wanted
to buy the Ford Motor Company for
eight million cash, he couldn't raise
the money in Wall street. Well, the
1920 automobile output looks like
three million cars with signs of still
more wanted, and the Ford Company
is worth about forty times it's value
ten years ago.
So with movies. Bankers saw them
as passing craze-sure to go to the
wall. Producers were given the loud
"Ha-Ha" in the financial district.
but now-look for the motion picture
quotations along with steel railroads,
rubber and such. The Goldwyn Pic
lures Corporation, to cite only one
instance, has interested the du Points
and the Chase Securities Company.
100000 shares are to be sold.
The movies as a new security, have
arrived. When you invest today In
Charlie Chaplin's shoes or Mary Pick
ford's ringlets, veteran bankers do
not necessarily regard you as in need
of institutional restraint. They are
more apt to commend you for your
astuteness.-The Nations Business

British government from moving
troops from there to aid in stemming
the tide in Europe.
The offensive predicted will prob.
ably be accompanied by a propagan-

revolutions in other countries.
Army intelligence officers estimate
that the Bolsheviki have on the Po-
