John Openshaw seems to me to be
walking amid great perils"
But, have you," asked, formed
any definite conception as to what
these perils are?"
Their can be no questions as to
their nature" he answered.
Then what are they? Who is this
K. K. X. and why does he pursue this
unhappy family?"
Sherlock Holmes closed his eyes
and placed his elbows upon the arms
of his chair, with his finger-tips to-
gether. The ideal reasoner." he re
marked, would, when he had once
been shown a single fact in all its
bearings, deduce from it not only all
the chain of events which led up to
1t, but also all the results which would
follow from it. AS Cuvier could cor
rectly describe whole animal by the
contemplation of a single bone, so the
observer who was thoroughly under
stood one link in series of incidents,
should be able to accurately state all
the other ones, both before and after.
We have not yet grasped the re-
suits which the reason alone can at
tain to. Problems may be solved in
the study which may BATTLE all those
who have sought solution by the
aid of their senses. To carry the
art, however, to its highest pitch. it
is necessary that the reasoner should
be able to utilize all the facts which
have come to his knowledge, and
this in itself implies, as you will read
lily see, a possession of all knowledge
which even in these days of free ed
ucation and encyclopedias, is a some
what rare accomplishment. 1t is not
so impossible, however, that a man
should possess all knowledge which is
likely to be useful to him in his
work, and this | have endeavored in
my case to do. Ii ] remember rightly

Well" he said Il say now, as | saie

iture that he is likely to use, and th'
rest he can put away in the lumbe

Men at his time of life, do not change
al their habits, and exchange will
ingly the charming climate of Flori-
da for the lonely life of an English
provincial town. His extreme love
of solitude in England suggests the
idea that he was in fear of someone
or something, so we may assume as
working hypothesis that it was fear
of someone or something which drove
him from America. AS to what it
was he feared, we can only deduce
that by considering the formidable
letters which were received by HIM
self and his successors"

Is Blamed By Arizona Body For Certain Occurrences;
 Rejects Subordinate Job

PHOENIX, March 25.-A. E. Stelzer today resigned as secretary of the state corporation commission. posi- ton he had held since January. 1919, rather than accept a subordinate posi- tion that was offered him by the commission.
 Neither Mir Stelzer nor members of the commission would discuss the events which led to MT. Stelzer's res ignation. The former secretary declar- ed that his years spent in the service of the state made it impossible for him to make public any of the states business. During the day, he issued a statement to newspapers. but in it he did not discuss the details of the affair.
 Stanley Williamson Named
 The commission accepted Mir. Stel- zer's resignation as, soon as it was rendered and immediately appointed Stanley Williamson. chief clerk of the investment department, secretary.
 Mir. Stelzer's statement follows:
 Stelzer's Statement
 "The commission attempted to place the blame at the door of the secretary for certain recent occurrences and offered me subordinate position in one of the departments of the com mission over which I have had super vision for more than two years past. Of course, I could not accept this of fer for reasons that are obvious. As the matter is relative to purely state business. I prefer not to air the de- tails in the newspapers. Those fam iliar with conditions in the commis- sion and who have known me and my work during the past four years as deputy state treasurer and as sec retary to the corporation commission approve my action in rendering my resignation. I have made no plans as this matter developed only during this week. Further than this. I have nothing to say at the present time
 Mir. Stelzer was deputy state treas urer under David F. Johnson When Johnson became member of the oorporation commission. MT. StelZer was made secretary of that body

 The Communist army of 2500 was being reinforced steadily by peasants and villagers coming in town on foo' and on bicycles. They carried army guns and evidently with the. view of surrounding the security police and destroying them.
 Guns, Pistols and Knives Used From the post and telegraph build ings the combat was visible and above the roar of firing could be heard calls of encouragement to both sides and the cries of the wounded. lying where they fell. The fighting was particu- larly desperate about the water tow CT, in which workers had taken a po- sition notwithstanding the attempts of the security police to prevent them. which twice resulted in hand to hand fighting in which guns. pis- tols and knives were employed. The supply of ammunition on both sides appeared to be inexhaustible and was used as recklessly as when the battio began three days ago.
 Owing to the state of siege throughout the rebellious area, there is no telephone, railroad, street car or automobile service, but the police as sert their ability to reach the outside world by telegraph.
