spite the fact that it has glass wind

TRUCK DRIVER ARRESTED.

The icy condition of the concrete
roadway caused Ford truck be-
longing to Mr.. Walbeck. of near Bay
View to run onto the pavement and
bring up against the stone wall in
front of Mrs. Ada Buffington's dwell
ing, on East Main street, Wednes-
day. The force of impact was not
great, as the machine was running
slowly at the time, and the damage
done was slight,
After considerable trouble the
machine was backed off the pave
ment and proceeded on it's way, only
to be ditched near Eric Johnson's S
mill, two and ahalf mileh east of
town. Motor policeman Macie took
"a hand at this time, and placed the
driver under arrest, as he had
neither registration nor drivers
license.

AUTO GRAVE YARD.
Essex Machine Fished From Quarry
Hole.

A gang of riggers, from Perry
Point, working in the snow storm
on Sunday, with derrick, chains,
graphing hooks, etc., succeeded in
fishing out of the water in the deep
quarry hole near Sylmar, an Essex
automobile, that had been run in
there some time during the month
of October. The auto was of the
year 1918. The tires were still in
fated and the machine was towed to
the home of constable Harry Hall,
who had been instrumental in or
ganizing force to probe the
mystery hole. New Jersey license
tags were on the machine, and an
overcoat was found in it. A lead
pencil in one of the pockets of the
overcoat was stamped Atlantic City.
Ownership of the machine has
been traced to Bernard Burns, of
Atlantic City, N. j., who stated the
auto was stolen Oct. 20. Tracks
were first noticed leading to the
edge of the spar pit on October 80.
There are all sorts of reports
going the rounds about parts or
other machines having been brought
up out of the water in the hole, and
in order to clear up the mystery
and ascertain whether the abandon
ed spar pit has been used as a grave
yard for stolen cars, efforts will be
made to pump the water out, a task
that will require several days to
accomplish.

TO THE CITIZENS OF RISING SUN
AND VICINITY.
Your Most Liberal Aid Needed To
Replace Church.


When the M. e. Church was burn
ed last June this town and COM
munity suffered the greatest loss
that has ever come to us in the
memory of it's oldest citizen. The
good influence that has gone out
from this church has contributed
more to the happiness, prosperity
and good citizenship Of this COM
munity than any one other thing
This influence has not been confined
to this town and community alone,
but young men and women who got
their early Christian training in this
church have gone to other parts Of
the country, and have made their
mark, and are credit to our town,
the church, and to the community.
This Church must be replaced by
a new one, and the membership of
the church has appointed canvassers
to call upon the good people of our
community during this week, to get
pledges as to what the people will
give. This is a matter that every
citizen should be vitally interested
in, for a church in any community
is the most important place in that
community, and no one would want
to live in this, or any other COM
munity, if there was no church, even
if they did not attend it. We have
town that we are all proud of, and
believe that we all want to see it the
best and cleanest town in the State.
We can help do this by helping to
build this church.
When the canvassers call please
give them a good, large pledge, and
let US build church that will not
only be pleasure and comfort to it's
membership, but that will be
credit to the citizens and to the
town. Contribute to this cause, so
that you can always look at this
church and say with pride that 81
helped build that church"
If you should not be seen by any
OF the canvassers, you can give to
Mr.. J. T. Cameron, Treasurer, the
amount you wish to contribute, and
same will not have to be paid until
some time next summer or fall.
have great faith in the citizenship of
this town and community, and know
that they will not fail in the great
work that lies before us.

MARRYING MINISTER'S STAND
ING INVESTIGATED.
Commercializing Marriage Places
Another Elkt0n Minister
Under Ban.

Under Ban.
The standing of Rev. Daniel Lock-
erbie, 80 years old, who came to
Elkton two months ago, stating first
he was a Presbyterian minister un-
attached, and who had located there
for the sole purpose of engaging in
the marrying business, was one OF
the chief matters of discussion by
the New Castle Presbytery, at re-
cent meeting in Wilmington. Rev.
J. e. M. Eckadd, of Smyrna, who
was named by the Presbytery to in
vestigate the authority of the octo-
genarian to perform marriages, has
probed the case and made his report.
The chief details which the min
listers will thresh out, will be wheth-
er Mr.. Lockerbie has any legal right
to perform marriages. According
to the laws of the Presbyterian
church, every minister obtains his
right to marry from the Presbytery
with which he is connected. Ac-
cording to public statements Mr..
Lockerbie is not attached to any
Presbytery. His last connection, 1t
is reported, was with the Presbytery
of Philadelphia, and a report from
that body was made at the meeting.
1t is limited that the legal status Of
the Rev. Lockerbie to perform mar
riages may be seriously questioned
by the Presbytery.

MAY USE COPPER SIGNS FOR ROADS

Copper road signs will be used in stead of steel ones throughout Ari- zona if plans now under considera- tion by Colonel John c. -Greenway and the Automobile Club of Arizona are carried to fruition. Ever since the slogan was started in the cam paign Buy Something Made of Copper officers of the association have talk en a deep interest in suggestions of fered calling for the use of copper instead of steel, not only for road signs but for auto license plates as we'll
 Handsome and durable copper road signs have been received by the clubs headquarters in Phoenix as the first products of the big copper plant at Ajo. The chief objection, and one (Which remains to be overcome is that of cost. The value of the metal in thtse signs alone is such as to attract the eye of the itinerant junkman, and it is feared that such signs would not stay put for any great duration oi time. however well they might wear
 Colonel Greenway's experts are now working out the problem of how to manufacture a road sign out oi copper, or possibly some alloy oi copper which will be slightly, durable and at the same time inexpensive If such sign can be produced at cost not greatly in excess of tha' which is charged for enameled stee signs, it will be hailed with appro bation and doubtless adopted fol | official use by the Automobile Clul of Arizona.
 And if these signs prove practica in Arizona, it is thought that the typ' will be adopted in other states, thu l opening up a new use for coppe which will be a long step forward il the campaign to widen the marke | for the red metal. The field is un limited and taken into consideration with the possibility of license numbe 1 plates will mean much for the futur of the copper industry in Arizona, is predicted.

 Cash was arrested several weeks ago in the Paso del Norte Hotel at Fl Paso by federal officers, when it was alleged he was in the act or making delivery of large quantity of morphine.

 A suit case containing 100 ounces of morphine is alleged to have been seized in the automobile in which Cash is said to have brought the mar cotic agent from Cash's residence to the hotel. The seizure was said to be one of the largest ever made on the border.
 At the time the deal was being made, according to statements of the narcotic agents, Cash is said to have agreed to take off $1,000 from the price because the dope runner, in bringing the morphine across from the Mexican side, had fallen in the water and wet the wrappers on each bottle.

Republican Wins ByOver 1000
 Majority

Albuquerque, N. M. Sept. 21-H. O.. Bursum, republican, was elected to the United States senate yesterday to fill the un-eXpired term of senator A. B. Fall, who resigned to enter the cabinet, by a majority that will exceed 1000.
 With a much lighter total vote his majority will nearly equal that given Harding for president last fall, and republican leaders in the state de- clare it is "a vote of confidence in the republican administration" as well as approval of the work of MT. Bur sum during the four months he has been serving the senate under aE- pointment by the governor.
 Hanna Good in South
 Returns so far received here indi- cate that Richard H. Hanna, demo cratic candidate, boiled heavy vote in the southern counties in the state but that the northern counties went strongly for Bursum.
 Bernalillo county, in which Albu Querlue is located, was carried by Hanna when he ran for governor last fall by about 1900 plurality. Bur sum carried the county by a plurali ty of about 400, based upon incom plete returns Similar overturns oi democratic pluralities seem to have occurred in several of the northern coutnies today.
 Bursum will serve in the senate March 4, 1925.
 In addition to the senatorial con test, the electors yesterday voted or II proposed amendments to the state constitution
