GIRL TESTIF|ES AGAINST FATHER
 IN ARSON TRIAL

Alleged events preceding and fol- lowing the fire on the night of May 29 which destroyed the garage and living quarters of Albert M. Me Creary at Orange and Mcdowell roads were described yesterday at his trial on the charge of arson. The principal witness was Ruby Me- Creary. his 16-year- daughter.
 The girl declared that on Sunday morning, May 29, her father told her to take the other children on a picnic at Joint Head and not to return be- fore or 10 o'clock that night. Her father and her oldest brother loaded a tin box of tools on the auto truck before they left for the picnic, she said Nearly all of the bedding in the house was placed on the truck for a bed for her sick sister, the girl added. although she said she remon- strated with her father that there was entirely too much.
 She and the children returned from the picnic about 5:30 o'clock. Ruby testified Her father insisted that she should not go into the house, the girl declared, and sent them out again to stay until 9:30 o'clock. The daughter stated that her father had been packing things for day or two before the fire and also took a phono- graph to Phoenix "to be repaired, !" he said, although the girl said there was nothing wrong with the machine.
 W. L. Chambers testified that he was experimenting some irrigating down the road about an eighth of a mile from the McCreary garage when the fire broke out He was the fourth man to reach the scene, he said, and as he approached he saw McCreary

PLAN ID END FLOW
 OF BOGUS CHECKS

One of the most important of the bogus check cases to be handled by The Merchants and Manufacturers association in connection with its drive against this form of defraud- ing merchants came to head yes terday when R. l.. Young was held 10 answer to tbe superior court by Justice Henry J. Sullivan on two charges, one of forgery and one of passing a bogus check.
 The action taken in Youngs case <ollows a definite campaign which has been initiated by the Merchants and Manufacturers association against all forms of swindling, and it has already brought to book a number of alleged forgers and ut terers of fictitious checks who have been costing the merchants of Phoe- nix hundreds and thousands of dol- lars a year. The association has taken over the campaign with a definite idea of getting results, and to date it's efforts have been note. worthy seven of the known local ,Itters of bad checks having been brought before the courts in a short snace of time, and it was announced last evening that the campaign Is fo he prosecuted with increased x-iror during the winter months
 Young's bond was placed at $10O0 for each count and he was com 1aitted to the county jail In addi- rion to these charges, a charge oi assault with a deadly weapon has been filed against Young by Costes Nfanoras who alleges Young assault ed him with an axe.

 BUREAU IS TO MEET

A special meeting of the Washing ton district farm bureau will be held at the Washington school Thursday evening. September 15, at 8 o'clock The purpose of this meeting is to elect a member of the local farm bu- reau to act as a director of the Ari- zona Cotton Growers association.
 For several years past this organ 1zation has supplied the farmers with their extra labor necessary to harvest the cotton and other crops of the valley.
 The Arizona Cotton Growers asso- ciation is to be reorganiZed as the Maricopa County Farm Bureau Com modity organization, governed by a board of directors, one director to be elected by each local farm buseau in Maricopa county.
 The new organization will find means of supplying the cotton grow CTS with necessary labor to harvest i crop and will determine the amount necessary to collect as bale tax to i insure a sufficient amount of labor and will as far ~as possible determine the wages to be paid for cotton | pickers.
 Every farmer of Washington dis 1 trict is urged to attend this meeting for the success or failure of the new organi ation will depend largely upon i the personnel of the board of directL ors. c. W. STEELE, Secretary.

That more than 1900 bales of Pima cotton, grades 1, 2 and 8, have been purchased during the past two weeks, with indications for stead fly increasing demand in the future, was announced yesterday by those in closest touch with the long staple situation.
 Grade 2 cotton has brought from 30 to 31 cents a pound during the past week, while grade 8 has brought 2S1z cents. It is reported that 34 cents for grade 1 cotton has been offered at Scottsdale by a rep resentative of eastern cotton brokers.

.ONLY s MONTHS FOR
 ! (jNSPEAKhBLE CRIME

There has been some misunder- standing regarding the time when Joe Galas, a convict at Florence, se- cured his freedom. Galas had been sentenced to the state prison for a long time fors an unspeakable crime against a 14-year-old girl. It was generally supposed that he was still there until few nights ago he was arrested after a collision between a truck he was driving and an automo- bile, when he was found to be under the influence of liquor.
 Those who were aware Of the nature of his crime voiced indigna- ton when they learned that he was at large on parole, and it was sup posed that his release was recent.
 But an examination of his record shows that he was released by the board of pardons and paroles on June 20 of last year, six months be- fore the present board came into existence. Galas was sentenced on December 19, 1919, so that his actual imprisonment was just six months
 The present board has been sought by friends of Galas and other persons too prominent to be regarded as friends of a man of that sort for a full pardon. But the board on an investigation of his case rejected the petition.

30O-POUND BEAR |S BROUGHT DOWN
 BY JOE PROCHASKA

Game Warden Joe Prochaska, who returned yesterday morning, killed bear. That incident alone wiped out all the weariness and discomfort of a trip of several weeks in the north eastern part of the state. superin- tending the planting of thousands and thousands of trout. bass and crappie which had been received from eastern hatcheries. Worn out at last. viewing the past weeks with bitterness, he set out with his wife and son for a weeks vacation.
 A week ago, accompanied by his son and a deputy game warden, they encountered a bear, for which they were not looking. They were in the same state of unpreparedness this country was in when it got into war There was only one rifle, not count ing P carried by the son of MT. Prochaska- And that rifle was with out sights and was in the hands of the deputy. The game warden had a six gun, but, not expecting to use it, he had 1t tied down or wired down to the saddle for convenience and security.
 When the bear made her appear ance-a magnificent black bear-the deputy began to perforate the att mosphere- ProchaSka, Jr., laid down barrage with his 22, and the game warden began releasing his artillery from the saddle. His first shot was from horseback, but that gun mount was too unsteady and inclined to be disappearing. Mir. Prochaska then dismounted, and at a distance of 125 yards brought the bear down. Though she presented a good target. MT. Pro. chaska admits that there was an, e1e- ment of chance in the accomplish ment; that on a second shot it might have turned against him.
 The bear looked as if it weighed a ton; it looked that way. not only to the successful bear hunters, but ii had seemed so to scores of other un- successful ones who for months had been following it about the country | and whose estimates of it's weight
 ranged from 800 to 1. .000 pounds. 1 But, according to the scales in St l Johns, it registered about 800 pounds

in the Territorial building in Kahului
TO hear her first talk. The Violet troop
from Keahua was transported by Mrs.
Robinson and two Settlement cars;
the Suntiower troop from Waikapu
came with their Captain, Miss Groves,
so with the Roselani and Narcissus
troops from Kahului there was quite
a gathering.

schools, Waikiki Public school, Maui
naolu Seminary and the Public schools
at Paia and Kula.

and activities so that all scouts may
become acquainted with their sister
Scouts. The secretaries write the
letters and then they are read and
approved by the troop as a whole be-
fore tehy are sent. Now a new scheme
has been started each girl chooses a

and sends an individual letter. In
this way the troops will hear from one

The Days Bond Market
Ian the MAJ ava 1s4o 49, esA Ind Steel ss r.r,.,,

The Tribune prints each day the ma
tnritv dates Of all dctire bonds quoted
on the NeW York Stock Exchange. The
return on bond to the inrsstor depends
upon three factors. the rate Of interest
the security bears. tho market price
and the distance Of the maturity date.
TO figure the precise yield on bond it
IS necessary to use yield tdbles, but the
approximate yield can roughly be figured
out bv tAc totioacimg formula. Divide
the closing quotation on bcf.d snto
the rate Of interest il pays, and the re-
sult scill be the annual return. If the
bond ia selling beloto par you must
dito'o also for the appreciation Of the
principal To do this subtract the mar
ket quotation from par, or 100. and di-
vide the remainder BY the number of
years the bond has to nun before ma
turity. For example,, II per cent
bond is selling at 80 and has ten gears
to run. the annual return avill be 6.66
per cent. The difference betwesn par
and the market price soiU be 10 points,
subtracting 90 from 100. Dividing ten
points By ten years, the quotient wiIl be
1. This figure is TO be added to G66,
which is the annual return, and the re-
suit 7.66 per cent, 1osU give you the op-
proIimdte yield.

Answer -- We have considered Pull

stocks that might properly be classed
as investments. The surcharge of so

riding in Pullman cars (no part of
which goes to the Pullman Company
has decreased Pullman revenues. the
company estimates. Is per cent. This
may be temporary, and in time trava
elers' minds will become adjusted to
the surcharge and conclude that "it's
worth it." There is another consid-
Grafton that should have at least a
thought given to it. If the government
is forced to buy the railroads it will
presumably be forced to buy the Pull
man Company. The company's prop
erty and equipment are. carried at $l6l,-
307,411, and we believe this is a con-
servative estimate. There are also $6,-
100000 bonds owned. At the end of
1919 the company had $50 900 cur
rent assets and about 81 100000 cur
rent liabilities. The company estimates
depreciation, etc, at s62,O00,000. If
court were to accept these figures in
condemnation proceedings the value Of
the common would work out at above
par. We think that Pullman stock is
reasonably safe investment. Swiss IS
are due in 1910, Danish Consolidated
Municipal Loan in 1946. Kingdom Of
Denmark SIS in 1945, French SIS in 1945
and Belgian IS in 1941. We consider
all of these bonds as good investments
with an attractively high yield. The
sinking fund provision on the Danish
Consolidated Municipal Loan, which
provides for annual compulsory draw
ings of bonds at '107 II, gives the in
vestment considerable higher yield,
especially if your bonds are among the
early ones drawn, than appears from
the s per cent COUPON rate.
