San Bruno, Cal, Aug. 21.- The police are gradually closing in around the murderers of Father Heslin.
 William Hightower, though still clinging to his story of chance information which en- abled him to lead the police to where Father Heslin's s body was buried in the sand hills, was to- day formally charged with mur- der, his alibi having first been shattered by Doris Shirley upon whom he had relied to establish it. Other associates of High, tower are also under surveil- lance. and more arrests are ex- pected in the near future.

The investor thus has two great
fundamentals Of sound investment pre-
sented in the securities of electric and
gas companies-namely. physical
property and safeguarded earning
power
Soundly managed utility companies
do not expect to earn more than q
fair and reasonable return on the t.
1 vestment, but they can and do earn
such a return on a steady, continuous
basis.
Whenever an electric or gas COM
pany adds a Observation-Disclosures 1t be

means additional property investment
| In order to render service
That is where the investor gets his
opportunity,
| Every growing community demands
additional investment in electric anC
gas properties from month to month
and year to year.
Public welfare-industrial activity
the convenience and economy of citi-
zens require that these additional in
vestments be made promptly.
The only way that capital can be
obtained is by paying wages to the
capital already invested.
If a city failed to pay interest on
its outstanding bonds, it could not sell
more bonds.
If utility company did not pay div
idends on its preferred stock. it could
not secure more capital by selling ad-
ditional preferred stock.
Therefore ii Is easily understood why
public interest insists upon electric
and gas companies being maintained
as prosperous organizatiOns--payine
fair wages to the capital employed as
well as to the workmen employed.
In the fact that electric and gas
companies annually require more cap

their services, lies the pathway tt
sound investing.

the nature OF their work, are on an
entirely different basis.
They do not earn exorpitant profits
ut any time, but they maintain reas-
enable earning power at all times.
While their earnings grow in the
years Of general prosperity they do
not slump seriously during hard times.
There are two principal reasons for
the greater stability of the latter in
dustries:
"a Their business is based on the
law of averages.
(2) Their business consists Of sup
plying the everyday necessities
of people, industry and commerce.
Prominent among the industries
noted for their stability Of business
and earnings are the electric light and
power and gas companies.
You see the street lights burning
every night; you know that as regu-
larly as meal time comes the gas or
electric range is placed in operation;
you know that every evening your
hand mechanically turns on and off
the electric bulbs, and if you work in
factory the chances are ten to one
that you run a machine every work
ing day operated by power supplied
by the electric company
If you pause to think about it you
will realize that If the demand for cleo
tricity and gas were to stop, pretty
nearly everything else would stop, too.
Whenever a new house goes up in
your neighborhood or new factory is
started in town, it means more busi-
ness for the electric and gas COM
panies.
The ways in which electricity and
gas are now used in factories, homes
and stores-in every department OF
human activity-are almost without
number. New ways of applying gas
and electricity towards the profit and
convenience Of the public are devel-
oped with amazing rapidity.
These industries do not depend upon
any one class Of people. or season oi

applications.
1t is impossible to destroy the de-
mand for their services without de-
stroying the cities and towns which
they serve.
The only manner in which electric
and gas companies can render service
is by creating large producing an'
/. distributing systems.

which entered the right side and
ranged downward, lodging near the
pelvis bone of the hip. Another bull
let passed through the right fore
arm just above the wrist, but mis-
sed the bone entirely and made lit

announced that Constable White

to the fact that the operation was

Patrolman Best received a flesh
wound on the cheek where a bull

his face.
Following the shooting, White,
though wounded, stopped a taxi in
which he rode to the Office OF JUS

out a warrant against Officer Best
charging him with felonious shoot
ing. He then was driven to the
hospital
Best was arrested Immediately
after the shooting by Deputy Sher-

before the justice and gave bond
in the sum of $500 with Chief of
Police Carl Beebe as surety. The
latter announced that Best would
continue to serve on the local force
while out on bond. In the mean

Best will be given a preliminary
hearing before Justice Posten next

Even the most skeptical farmer
