NOSE PRINTS MAY SUPPLANT
 BRANDS, EXPERT DECLARES

"Noseprints" of cattle as a means of identification soon will supplant the painful and troublesome old branding system, says Al Dunlap, chairman of the International Asso- citation of Identification, just returned from a western tour. The cowboys laughed at the idea, but it is working out effectively in Minnesota, where more than 2,00O noseprints already are on file with the state. Mir. Dun lap says the impressions of cows noses differ as widely as those of human fingers.

GOV. MECHEM REFUSES
 TO EXTRADITE BANKER

Reasons for declining to honor the requisition for the extradition of J. M. Reynolds, Guy l.. Rogers and J. E. Cox, Albuquerque bankers, are given in Gov. M. c. Mechem's report to Gov. Thomas E. Campbell, of Ari- Zona.
 In summing up, Gov. Mechem said:
 "In order to arrive at a conclus- ion which would result in the surren- der of these parties to the agents of the state of Arizona, must find that the accused parties and the persons who have supported their affidavits, have fillfully and knowingly perjured themselves. They have not been inn peached. There has been no attempt to impugn their veracity, and 1 have no reason to view with suspicion or to hesitate to accept their sworn statements as the truth. For these reasons, therefore, I am compelled to deny the requisition above referred to-"
 Rogers, Reynolds and Cox were in- dicted in the Navajo county court, on the charge of having been guilty of perjury and conspiracy, out of which grew the failure of the Holbrook State bank, of Holbrook. Counsel for the defendants introduced a number of affidavits to the effect that the defendants were not in the state of Arizona on the dates mentioned in the indictment. Arizona attorneys intro- duced affidavits purporting to show that the defendants were in Arizona on or about the dates in question. These latter affidavits were not spec fife as to time.

WHERE BILLY SWITZER REIGNS
SAFE CRACKED AT WINS
 LOW MONDAY NIGHT

The office of the Hall Lumber Co. was entered during last Monday night and the office safe was broken open and the contents rifled. Luckily the sum in the safe was small, all available money having been banked during the day, and the burglars got less than twenty dollars for their pains.
 MT. w.. G. Kelly, deputy sheriff, informed the News that it had the look of a job done by professional safe crackers. About ten days ago the same office was entered and a typewriter stolen.
 The thieves have not been appre- hended at the present time, but Off cers Kelly and Gardner are on a still hunt for the guilty parties.-Holbrook News.

CARROT WEED MENACE
 TO HAY AND GRASS

Discovery of a weed known as the wild carrot, growing on his ranch north of Phoenix, has been made by c. R. Steele, secretary of the Dairy Marketing association, according to a report made to Don c. Mote, state entomologist. This is the first ap- pearance of this weed in the valley, Mr. Mote said, and unless steps are taken to eradicate the weed it will prove to be a serious menace to the hay and pasture fields in the valley as we'll as to the dairy industry.

INMATES ENJOY
FIRST MOVIE SHOW.

THE most polite, attentive and ap-
preciative audience | have ever shown
to was composed of the inmates of
the Atlantic County Insane Asylum
declared H.. Wink, New York and
London movie magnate, after putting
on the first moving picture show ever
given in the Smith Landing institu-
ton.
While the inmates of the asylum
laughed and cheered at the comedy
reels displayed. they showed a strange
aversion to getting into the focus of
a movie camera when Mr.. Wink
sought to film them in order to let
them see themselves on the screen.
Shall we shoot them now" asked
the movie man of DR.. Henry Munro,
the superintendent.
Sure" answered the doctor.
A woman, evidently unacquainted
with the jargon of the movie world,
overheard the conversation, and rush
ed screaming through the room.
"They are going to shoot us all"
she cried. Many of the inmates fol-
lowed, and a near-panic resulted. 1t
was half an hour before they could
be persuaded that the shooting" was
harmless. Even then, many of them
showed a disposition to linger near
the sidelines, rather than get directly
in front of the camera after the habit
of ordinary folk.
A feature of the exhibition, which
lasted more than Two hours, was the
fact that pictures of the late Theodore
Roosevelt led in the applause, being
only approached by the enthusiastic
reception which was given views
showing DR.. Munro and his dog.
President Harding and former Presi-
dent Wilson received minor applause.
A comic picture, depicting a dog, a
cat and a monkey, went over" big,
but the audience refused to see any
thing funny in one of Chaplin's latest
releases.
AS a result of the initial exhibition,
DR.. Munro promised to support a
movement to be inaugurated by Mr..
Wink to have modern projecting
rooms built in all of the insane asy-
lums of the country.
I'VE have never had anything
which so closely e%ngrossed the atten-
ton of the inmate" said DR.. Munro.
"Even our most difficult patients were
quiet as a mouse during the entire
performance"
Another exhibition will be given at
the asylum next week.

HEIRS HOLD MEETING.
Adams-Martin Fight for LARGE Real
Estate Holdings To Be Taken
To Chancery Court.

Coming from Philadelphia, Millville.
Atlantic City, Pleasantville and other
places, about sixty people, heirs of de-
ceased residents of this section of At
lantic County, held a meeting at
adams Hall, Pleasantyille, to discuss
the matter of legal action to recover
valuable property said to have belong
ed TO their ancestors and which is
now occupied by other people. This
hight to recover the property in ques-
ton has been going on for a long
period of years without any direct re-
suits being obtained. Heretofore the
heirs have been acting individually or
by committees and several different
lawyers have had a hand in the efforts
to obtain what is alleged to be the
lawful rights of these heirs.
Now it is proposed TO proceed along
different lines and to start action in
the Court of Chaneery of New Jersey
that Will forever settle the matter one
way or the other. If the heirs have
any legal Fights the proposed action
Will establish them and if they have
no claim to the property their minds
VIII then be set at rest. 1t is pro-
posed to form a corporation of three
people. Mrs. Elizabeth Clark. who
has waged the battle for several years
for some of the heirs: Joseph Sutton,
formerly of Ocean City and now a
resident of Philadelphia, and the law
Yer selected to bring the proposed ae-
ton.
The heirs voted to form an associa-
ton and elected Ralph Crowder chair
man, Ezra Johnson financial secretary
and Casper Adams recording secre-
tary. Joseph Sutton made an address
in which he outlined the proposed line
of action to be taken and answered
numerous questions put to him by the
heirs. He stated that the lawyer who
II is proposed to retain is United
STATES Commissioners Hiram, CtanIp,,,
