'NO FISHING RULING
 MAY BE DESCENDED

Orders which it is claimed have had the effect of closing the White Mountains as summer resort will be rescinded, according to informa- tion received yesterday by Joe V. Prochaska state game warden, from Senator Ralph H. Cameron.
 The Indian commission is making an investigation and is in communi- cation with the Indian agent, c. H. Davis, who issued the edict that there would be no fishing or camping per mits on trout streams in the noun tains until July 15. Under the state law the season opens June 1.
 MT. Prochaska has been in receipt of letters from all over the state pro- testing against the ruling. They have urged that action be taken in order that Arizonans might enjoy their summer vacation in Arizona. While Mir Prochaska favors regula- tion of fishing and has made this clear to Mir. Davis. the latter has re- fused to make any change in the or der and Mir Prochaska has taken the matter up with Washington. Senator Cameron's message. which will bring cheer to the hundreds who summer in the mountains, follows: "Joe V. Prochaska,

FIRST ILLINOIS GOVERNOR
INDICTED BY GRAND JURY

Chicago, July 2O.-Governor Len
Small is the first governor of Illinois
to be indicted by grand jury while
holding office. He also is the first
Illinois governor to face charges made
after an investigation by an official
body.
Available historical records give no
instances of governors of other states
being indicted while in office, but there
have been several instances of i'm
peachment.
In 1862, Governor Charles Robinson.
of Kansas, was impeached. He was
acquitted. Charges were made against
" Governor Harrison Reed, of Florida,
In 1883, the charges later being drop
ped. Two years later charges were
instituted against Governor William w.
Holden, of North Carolina. He was
the first governor to be convicted and
removed from office
Impeachment proceedings against
Governor Powell Clayton, of Arkansas.
were started in 1871 but were dropped
soon after. The same year, Governor
David Butler, of Nebraska. was remov-
ed from office. In the next year. 1872.
charges against Governor Henry C,
Warmoth, of Louisiana, were dropped
when his term of office expired
Governor Adelbert Ames of Missis-
sippi, faced charges in 1872 and re-
signed from office. From that time
until 1918 there were no such proceed
ings. Then came the sensational trial
of Governor William Sulzer, of New
York, ending in his removal.
In 1917, Governor James e. Fergu-
son, of Texas, was removed from
office.

Senator Mckelar, Democrat, Tennes-

he attended union meetings, was vice
president of local and attended con-
ventons as delegate, all the while
making regular reports to the detect

banks, brokers and private individuals
Mr.. Brown added that the com
pany would be able to make good the
losses suffered through Thomson with
In two or three years. A representa-
tive of the creditors will be sent to
Austin, to manage the company's fin
ancial affairs, he said. 1t was learned
that there would be no reorganization
but it is expected that the indebted
ness caused by Thomson will be fund
ed in the form of bonds.
According to reports from the con-
ference, it is said Thomson conducted
his peculations alone, never embezzliny
more than $4,000 at a time. His
system involved a three and often a
five -cornered method of kiting checks
his pawns being correspondent banks
of the firm.
The checks were drawn against the
transfer funds" on deposit. He kept
in transit between 100000 and ST.
100000 to keep his operations hidden
Mr. Brown declared Thomson kept the
figures In his mind by postdating the
checks several days in order to keep
ahead of the auditors who made regu-
lar examinations of the company's
books.
Thomson succeeded in covering up
his shortage for 10 years and only was
detected last Saturday because he lost
his poise when casually questioned by
Jay G. HORNED about a>missing S1O.-
GOO check from th6 First National
bank of Chicago. HORNED became sus-
picious and under questioning the for
mer comptroller confessed.
We had believed in him implicitly"
said George A. HORNED, father of Jay
and head of the concern.
Thomson had been employed by the
company for 13 years. starting as
candy salesman at $12 a week. He
spent the money embezzled to bring his
Minnesota and Iowa farms UP to date
in every detail, and his palatia1 coun-
try homes and attendant extravagances
attracted attention throughout the
middle west
Thomson is married and has a TO-
1ear-old son. Gerald. He is being held
n Jail at Austin.
