ANNOUNCEMENT

The resignation of Mr. M I. Pow CTS as President of the Arizona Central Bank, was accepted by the Board of di- rectors at a meeting held Tuesday, November 8th., with the understand ing that MT. Powers would retain his considerable stock interests in the bank and remain on the Board of Directors and continue to give his counsel, advice and support to the institution, which met with his approval and plans, as he expects to remain in Flagstaff.
 MT. Powers has had this move in mind for some years, as he has been actively engaged in the banking busi- ness in Northern Arizona, in an official capacity, for the last twenty years and desires to devote more of his time to his personal business interests in Ari- zona and California, Among his live stock interests in Arizona is his connec- tion with the organization of the Stand ard Cattle Loan Co.,, of which he is Vice-President.
 MT. H. J. McClung, Vice-President of the Arizona Central Bank, was elect ed President at. the same meeting, to succeed Mir. Powers. MT. McClung needs no introduction to the people of Arizona, as he is one of the well-known fnanciers of the Southwest, being President of the Phoenix National Bank, one of the largest institutions in the State, and having other large inter ests. MT. McClung will assume his new duties within the next few days, and later will probably move his family to Flagstaff

Mr.. and Mrs. D. A. Campbell are

mission, following their arrival from
Bangor, Me.,i by automobile trip, that
started 23 days ago. The actual run

10 days, and none of the driving was
done at night. Mr.. and Mrs. Camp
bell will spend the winter in Imperial
Valley before planning the return trip
to Maine. Campbell's only difficulty
encountered on the trip was four pune
lures in one tire.
"The trip from coast to coast by
automobile is not such big job as it
looks" declared Campbell in telling Of
the trip. "The roads are extra good
from Bangor to st. Louis, but from
the latter city west to California. one
is likely to find much bad road. es-
pecially during rainy weather. We foi
lowed the national old trails route
from st. Louis, through Missouri, Kan
sas, Colorado. New Mexico and Ari-
Zona. We camped out practically
every night. There are literally thou
sands of automobile parties, most cf
them composed of small families en-.
route to California to spend the vim
ter. Judging from many that we
came in contact with on the road there
are numerous automobile parties head
ed west with very slight capital on
hand. We found several who seemed
to be making it a special stunt to ap-
pear to have run out of gasoline and
then beg a gallon or two of each car
that passed them until they had their
tanks full. In this way several are
said to have obtained enough gasoline
to come all the way to California.

form Of 'mooching.'

"Oniy a total of $4,000 horsepower
of electric energy has to date been de-

legal complications of any sort, and is
a fair undertaking for our city.

crippling this essential duty. The dis

Madalynne Obenchain Wants to-
Go to Trial Alone in Kennedy
Murder Case.

LOS ANGELES, Oct. s10.--Attorney
Warren l.. Willisn1s, counsel fof Mrs
Obenchain will ask this week for a
separate trial for Mrs. Obenchain. At
the same time Deputy District Attor-
ney Asa Keyes who will prosecute the
case will vigorously oppose the sep
arate trials, both on account of the
expense to the county of double trials,
and on account of the trategic value it
will give the state if the two defen-
dants are tried together.
Both sides will place their argu-
ments before Superior Judge Reeve
for his decision.
The district attorneys office it is
said puts faith in an alleged confession
by Burch.
In this confession, Burch directly
duplicates Mrs. Obenchain. 1t is known
that if the defendants are tried to-
gether, even though the court instructs
the jury to apply the confession only
to Burch and not to consider it in
connection with the Obenchain case
it will still bear tremendous weight
against the woman.
In separate trials this psychological
advantage will not be had. because,
according to we'll known rule of law
the confession can be applied only to
the person who gave it-Arthur Burch
and not to Mrs. Obenchain, the CO.
defendant in the alleged conspiracy.
The state admits that its strongest
case is against Burch, and if separate
trials are granted by the court then
it will proceed to prosecute him first,
if possible.
They realize that if they succeed in
him it will help the case
against Mrs. Obenchain. WI IRA

YANKEES, 3; GIANTS, l.

NEW YORK, Oct. 1O.-There were
three outstanding. features in today's
game for the worlds championship be-
tween the Yankees and the Giants,
which will go down in history of the
series and be talked about for months
to come, wherever baseball fans gather
to talk over the fastest and best SER
les ever played. Waite Hoyt, the boy
wonder from Flatbush, pitched for the
second time against Muggsy's mighty
men. great ball; the mighty Babe
Ruth struck out three times and BOB
Meusel twice broke up Giant rallies,
which would have proved run getters
by lightning throws from the field to
the plate.
The weather was clear and cold and
a record breaking crowd was out, fill
ing the grand stands and bleachers to
their utmost capacity. Nehf, who went
onto the mound for the Giants, pitched
great ball. He allowed the Yankees
but six hits, while the Giants collected
10 hits off Hoyt, sbut the latter's sup
port was perfect, while the Giants
wabbled bit at times. when the ball
was in fast play. &
The crowds went wild when Meusel
by long, straight and lightning fast
throws from the field cut off Giant
runners at the plate, and Giant fans
were equally vociferous when Nehf
toyed with Il. great Bambino and sem
him back to the bench with three
strikes scored against him on three
times at the bat. FIX.
Today's game gives the Yankees
three victories over their opponents.

ing a vast amount of grief and an

Calexico and Mexicali which were
nut in force few days ago by a

block to the expedition of business
and a discrimination against mer-
chants and manufacturers Of both
cities, against which the strongest
kind of protest has been made by the
Calexico chamber of commerce to G..
ID. Spriggs, collector of customs at
San Diego and also to the Washing
ton authorities.
John c.. Stockberger, executive,
secretary of the Calexico chamber on

protestto Collector Spriggs at San

received letter. from w. H. Wool

the order had been issued under au-

mulgated in 1915 and never before en-
forced, but which the collector had t9t

Mr.. Woolman suggested to Secre-
tary Stockburger that all all auto

cure their cards Of Identification and
show them when passing across the
line and then stop for inspection on
returning. ~ ~

difficulty or do away with the annoy

In his telegram Mr.. Hickcox stated
that a deputy collector at Calexico
had dug up out of the dust of the
ages, the old regulations and was
harrassing the business men OF Cal
exico and Imperial Valley who do
business in Mexico daily and inter-
fering with important and legiti-
mate business interests.
Senator Shortridge replied to Mr..
Hickcox's telegram this morning
stating that he was in receipt of the
message of protest and was giving it
his immediate attention.
' 1t is propable that the Treasury
Department will order the suspension
of the regulations insofar as they ap-
ply to Calexico and Mexicali vehicular
traffic for the reason that these regu-
lations have never applied to the COM
ings and going of the business men
of the valley and of Calexico particu-
larly; and also for the reason that the
suggestions of, Deputy Collector Wool
