AV|ATOR'S DEATH .|S INVESTIGATED
Father Of Captain McGilvary Says There Was No Motive
 For His Ending Life

BOSTON. May 1.-The possibility of an arrest in connection with the death of Captain Patton c. McGilvary. former aviator overseas, was announc- ed by police officials today. Tie as- poets of the case, which had been considered one of suicide in official circles, had changed entirely / over night, they said. Two new witnesses were found whose testimony regard ing, circumstances now coupled with the shooting altered the suicide the ory.
 McGilvray's body was found in an alley in the Back Bay district Tues day morning with four bullet wounds.
 Professor E. R. McGilvary, of the University of Wisconsin, father of the former flfer, said his son was not in financial difficulties, had no reason to be discouraged and was not the kind of man to take any rash action.

bined flow of all seven, however, Is not equal to the flow from the one on the Policy ranch.
 On the same side of the San Pedro. William White and Bos- tick Williams have several six inch artesian wells each with flows of 400 gallons minute.
 Ranchers in the valley believe that good wells could be opened all along the west side of the riv- CT from a point about four miles above Charleston to Hereford. Several artesian wells. with sat tsfactory flows, have been open ed near St. David and, across the river, in the vicinity of Land Sta ton, but the majority of them have been allowed to fill with sand. Men who have made a study of the San Pedro valley be- lieve that if the systematic de velopment of artesian wells were taken up, irrigation sufficient to irrigate thousands of acres of good farming land might be pro- vided.

Serious Crisis Is Met And Mastered By Cananea
HUNDREDS ARE BEN G FED BY
 PEOPLE IF C|TY

The people of Cananea have met and mastered a serious crisis-a crisis caused by the lack of means on the part of many of the residents to SC cure sufficient food to sustain life. This problem has been solved by the people of the Sonora mining town with spirit of devotion and absence of self interest that is in sharp and favorable contrast with some of the cities and towns on this side of the line that have failed to cope with much less serious problems of the same nature
 A thoroughly efficient organization has been formed at Cananea, known as the Asociacion Local de Benefic- encia. which has an assured income from contributions amounting to s. 900 (American) monthly. and that this money is expended in supplying food to between 1.500 and 1900 peo- pie daily.
 And this is being done by the peo- pie of Cananea-not by the Ameri- cans, not by the Mexicans, not by the companies-but literally by the "Peo- pie of Cananea." The Americans. the Mexicans. and the companies, and the Chinese and Japanese for that matter have helped. but it is the pop ulation as a whole that is carrying on the work.
 Committees were organized to go among all classes that could give and all gave. Mexican laborers that are SO fortunate as to have work give one days pay each month. The Chi nese colony gives about s200 each month; the Japanese colony gives a certain amount: American em- ployes give part of their pay: doc tors and professional men contribute; outlying ranchers-some from way down south send in food, rice, gar banzos. beans. beef
 The companies have done their part they have installed soup kitchens and supplied lights. water and equip ment, and they contribute to the gen eral fund.
 Two kitchens have been installed. one in the Ronquillo. in the center of the town. and one in Buena Vista, in the mining section. A runway has been built where the needy line up, and the food is served to each through a window. The people then sit at long board tables and eat their meal. The serving is done by American and Mex

GREEKS FAIL TO ENTHuSE OVER
 LATEST WAR

PARIS, May 15.-Rsports received here from Athens show that the dis aster suffered by the Greek army in Turkey caused pessimism and alarm among all classes of Greeks.
 When the news was received that the Greek causualties had mounted among the thousands (4.000) accord ing to late reports, there was an out burst Of fierce criticism by the adher- ents of NJ. VeniZelos, former premier. against Demetrios Gounaris, then Min ister of War and advisor to the King, and since made Premier, for plunging the country into war at a time when it's treasury was empty, the dynastic question unsettled, the morals of the people low, the cost of life enormous, the country without a friend among the allied powers and the kingdom threatened with serious territorial losses.
 They insist he had no right to em- bark on an offensive against the Turks
 
 without sufficient reserves to check mate the heavy losses which were bound to follow any attempt to dis lodge an enemy who had been en- trenching himself for months ip the recesses of the Anatolian mountains.
 The Athens reports show that the order for mobilization was not re- ceived with enthusiasm. Indeed. it was a shock to the Greek people, who long ago reached the point of satura- tion on war and who felt that the re- cent London Conference had preclud- ed further military activity.
 The men are going to the front in obedience to superior authority rather than to spontaneous patriotic ardor The working classes. already weighed down with the fearful cost of life. are asking themselves how their families are going to fare while the breadwin- ners are at the front Certainly the government has no funds to take care of them.
 Flushed with their first victories, which according to impartial military observers were secured only because the Turks offered no resistance, the Greeks saw Angora within easy reach. There was even talk of a march to Constantinople. Popular sentiment urged King Constantine to go to Smyrna at the head of his army and Prince Andrew at the head of the navy. There was a confident feeling that the Hellenic forces would annihi- late Renal within a fortnight No thought anparentiy was given to the question of finances. The necessary funds. the government assured the people, would be forthcoming from Eneland or America
 But the Greek casualties have had n soldering effect on the people They have been mada conscious of the fact that the Kemalist army is something more than grouDs of scattered regu- lars and irreeulars recruited from vii. lages within the zone of operations. They now manifest feelings of deep anxiety. If their army fails. they will nut the blame at the door Of M. Goun- aris.

ing the sentence Of NJ f. Jackson, S.

Jackson was convicted of staying John

being actusted, he commended at his trial,
by the motive Of self defense. Public
sentiment apparently favored the old
farmer as no attempt was made to ar.
rest him following his return home after
he had escaped.
Due to a persistent desire Of his land
lord to sell the farm on which Jackson
resided. the aged tiller was taken into
custody and returned to the penitentiary.
The sheriff of Mississippi County wrote
Governor McRae a letter explaining his
reluctance in arresting Jackson. He would
not make the arrest he said unless or
dered to do so by the State.
Following Jacksons return to the penl-
Tertiary the Governors office was be-
sieced with petitions from statesmen and
citizens throughout Arkansas urging the
CT ief executive to pardon the old man
so that he might spend his last few years
with his people.
