Fire Near Washington
Is Being Investigated

washington. Dec. 19.--The. state fire
marshal's Office Is investigating the
recent fire on the John Bills farm near
here as the result of developments
which have led the department to be-
lieve that the fire might have been
OF inccndiary origin, set for the pur-
post OF collecting the insurance on the
farm buildings.
The investigation has thus far dis
closed, according TO the deputy fire
marshall, that shortly before the fire
Mr.. Bills took out another policy on
the buildings with a washington
Springs agency, concealing the fact
II is alleged, that he had another po-
Icy In full force and effect.
Following the fire, It Is further
claimed, both companies sent men to
adjust the loss. they arriving on diff
ferent dates. 1t is alleged that Mr..
Bills informed both adjusters that he
carried but the n policy, and 1t was
by accident that the companies learn
ed that double insurance was carried
before the losses were paid.
An both policies contained the usual
clauses that where Misrepresentation
are made, either before or after q loss,
as to material facts, the company Ia
exempted from paying the losses, Mr..
Bills Is not only faced with the prob
ability Of losing all insurance. but
also with arrest on crimina charges
of i~ncendiarism and fraud. II the in
y~esssgatien sahstantiates these aileg-
ed facts.

Daugherty Impeachment
Case About AT End

Washington, Dec. Proceedings
before the house judiciary committee,
in connection with the Impeachment
charges brought against Attorney
General Daugherty by Representative
Keller, depublican, Minnesota, ap-
peared today to be nearing an end.
In fact it was indicated that the
scope of future hearings would de-
pend to a large measure upon the ma
ture Of information to be laid before
the committee by Representative
Woodruff, republican, Michigan, af-
ter his examination of documents at
the department of justice. After a
brief public session at which no evil
dence was received, the committee
decided in executive meeting to hear
Mr.. Woodruff tomorrow. There was
some discussion as to the time of sub
hitting a report to the house, but de-
cision on this point went over until
after receipt of the report from Mr..
Woodruff. There raj a tacit under
standing, however, that the report
would be withheld until after the
Christmas holidays as a number Of
committee men will be away from
Washington during that period.
DR.. Keller, having withdrawn from
the prosecution of his charges, the
committee in proceeding with the
hearing on it own initiative, had be-
fore it today Mr., Woodruff and Rep
resentative Johnson, republican, Of
South Dakota. Both emphasized that
they had no part in the drafting Of
the Keller charges and that they
we're appearing solely in response to
an invitation from Chairman Volstead.
Declaring he had been dragged"
into the hearing, Representative John
son said the charges he had made in
the house relating to alleged war
frauds, had been directed solely at the
war department. II the committee
wanted to 90 into these charges he
was prepared to give the names Of
witnesses to support them, he contin-
ued, adding that there were officers in
the department who Should be court
martiaIed, instead of promoted"
AS to the department of justice ac-
ton in regard to war fraud cases, Mr..
Johnson said that in his judgment At
torney General Daugherty had pro-
ceeded with reasonable promptness in
bringing suits.

WATER USERS ATTENTION!

Upon examination of the City Water
Books we find there are a number Of
water users behind in their payments,
and these accounts MUST be paid at
once. II Is costing the City about
100000 per month to pump this water
to you and the water fund Is running
behind because of sour failure to pay
your bill. This will be tolerated no
longer, and unless you pay water rent
promptly your supply will be cut OFF
and you will be forbidden to use City
Water.
The City Ordinance provides for ar
rest and fine for using City water
without paying for same, and the wa
ter fund must be self-sustaining, SO
when you receive water cards pay the
amount at once to City Treasurer
John Williams at the Hand County
State Bank and all will be well. Give
this immediate attention and avoid
trouble.

YAVAPAI SCOUTS BETTER FED FOR
 A SMALLER COST
G'rom Fridays Daily)

The sumner camp of the Yavapai-
 Mohave Boy Scout council on the
 Verde this year has gained recogni- ton from national Boy Scout head quarters for several reasons, among the most striking of which is that the cost of feeding each boy for d week at the Yavapai-Mohave camp Va sconsiderably lower than the na- tional average for Boy Scouts sum mcr camps.
 This information was contained ill a letter from L. L. Mcdonald, na- tional camp director of the Boy Scouts of America, to Andrew R. Groenink, local scout executive, ac- knowledging- receipt of the scout cx- ccutive's camp report. The letter says in part:
 In studying your menu, find that you have been more than liberal in feeding the boys. Perhaps some of the cases of indigestion may be at tributed to over-eating. l am at taching herewith a menu which has been compiled by a United States dictitian and has proven to be very economical ill many of our camps. Your menu of June 10th is a hum dinger" and probably would make fellow pretty short if he were to treat himself at one of our New fork restaurants. l must say that your average cost per boy week, in spite of your generous feeding, will De below the national average, which | expect will be about $.

sH0NBER CASE
 JUDGMENT PAID
Santa Fe Abandons Proceedings to Carry Action to U. s. Su- preme Court and Settles Judg- ment in Suit.

Settlement by the Atchison, To- peka & Santa Fe railroad of judg- ment for $4, 800 has been made in an action brought about two years ago to recover damages for the death of R. J. Shomber, who was killed in collision between a passenger train and a cantaloupe special freight this side of Kirkland in 1920.
 Shomber, it will be recalled, was head brakeman on the cantaloupe train and was killed in the collision. Suit was brought by his administra- tor under the federal liability act in behalf of four minor brothers and sisters of the deceased. Shomber himself was a minor, being only IS years old at the time of his death.
 Following trial of the action in the Yavapai county superior court, judgment for $4,5OO was awarded by the jury. The Santa Fe appealed the case to the state supreme court on the ground that the four brothers and sisters of Shomber were not depend ents. The supreme court confirmed the judgment of the lower court. The Santa Fe then instituted pro- ceedings to carry the case to the United States supreme court. Later, however, these proceedings were abandoned by the railroad.
 Settlement was made by the Santa Fe this week, the judgment now with costs to $5,1O8.42.

SCHNIBLEY'S HILL SHORTEST ROAD TO
 FLAGSTAFF, NORTH
(From Fridays Daily)

The rocky road to Flagstaff is the department of rodent pest extermina-
 ton of the state biological survey. Mir. Gilchrist was in Prescott yes terday after driving down from the
 shortest, according to D. A. Gilchrist
 of Phoenix, who is in charge of the north over Schnibley's hill via Se- dona and over the Prescott-J Jerome highway into Prescott. The distance from Flagstaff to Prescott over that road, he reported at the chamber Of commerce yesterday, is 97 miles, making it the shortest route. This, he believes, is strong argument in favor of establishment of good road by way of Schnibley's hill at some future date.
 From Prescott Director Gilchrist continued his journey southward to Phoenix, where he will remain for d few days at his headquarters before returning to Prescott ill connection with rodent pest extermination work ill this county. Before leaving, he assured the chamber of commerce that the state biological survey will have a large exhibit of its work at the Northern Arizona State Fair in October.

Paving Company Dams Gurley

From Fridays Daily) am the dam rain.

That's the theory on which the paving company proceeded yesterday after having had some days spoiled by the mellifluous moisture. But no more. At least not to the previous lineonvenient extent.
 It is unusual to adopt flood con- trol in a city street, but that's just the ultra-modern system the payers took to yesterday when they hurled la low dirt dam across the intersection of Gurley and Montezuma streets to keep any stray moisture from charg- ing downhill and soaking the sub grade on the block between Monte zuma and Granite It is impracti- cable to hold umbrellas over the street, and it will have to get as wet as the rain cares to make it, but at least no drainage water will collect where the payer is working, and twill dry out quicker.
 Grading proceeded by the usual weather-controlled fits and starts yesterday. On South Pleasant street workmen are tearing out the curb and gutter preparatory to grading for two blocks of paving there.

LEGAL MARRIAGE IS NE PLUS ULTRA IN
 INDIANS SOCIETY
tFrom Fridays Daily)


 Class distinctions have been intro duced into the Indian camp near Prescott. Five Indian couples have reached the highest rank of Yavapai Indian society, and are at no pains to hide their consciousness of their new dignity from lesser members of the community who are not thus blessed
 The creation of a small and there fore specially select elite among the Indians is the direct result of five marriages which took place some days ago through the instrumentality of J. o. Barnd, Indian agent, with whom Justice of the Peace C. H. McLane co-operated
 The Indians had been marrying among themselves according to tribal custom and without the sanction of the white mans law. Indian Agent Barnd, putting into effect a policy of the bureau of Indian affairs, per suaded five couples to enter into legal marriages, and Judge McLane gave his services to read the cere- monies.
 Returning to the Indian camp, the couples who after years of Indian married life had acquired the legal title of man and wife, were the envy of other Indians who could not lay claim to this distinction. They had recourse to the usual methods of demonstrating a conceived superior ity, a procedure which gave the other Indians ground for envy.
 Aside from the possibilities it of fers the humorist, this is good thing, in the opinion of Indian Agent Barnd. It establishes in the Indian mind a social value of the white mans marriage as distinct from the tribes wedding customs, and thus induces other Indians to legalize their status Thus, three more couples were married at 6 o'clock yesterday evening. The newest six to join the ranks of Indian exclusive ness are Sam Jack and Mary Ham mond, John Williams and Bessie Quail, Harvey Quail and Carry Jim.

.DOG PROVED ID HAVE REFLECTION

Confirmation of a suspicion that a dog, killed day before yesterday near a home in the old Ball park, was afflicted with rabies, was re- ceived in a telegram from the state pathological laboratory at Phoenix by Dr. J. w. Osburn.
 Soon after the dog had been killed, Dr. Osburn obtained the head and sent it to Phoenix for expert investi- gation. The wire in reply stated that the "Negri bodies" had been found in the brain.
 Dr. Osburn explained that rabies IS an acute infectious disease, only prominent among canines and not by climate, weather, care. age or any other conditions. It does not occur spontaneously but is trans mitted physically, usually by the bite. The chief source of information about it lies in the experiments of Negri, an Italian, whose study of 300 cases led him to declare that parasite - protozoon was the true and only cause. It is the presence of this parasite that the Phoenix laboratory disc1oses.

AMATEURS NIGHTS
 PLAN OF ART DEPT.
 OF N. 4. STATE FAIR

Securing of a special exhibit of oil paintings by American masters and holding of one or more amateurs nights" for those especially interested in the exhibit, are features planned for the art department of the North ern Arizona State fair.
 Miss Kate T. Cory, we'll known Yavapai artist, whose paintings have been collected by art lovers and whose skilled direction was largely responsible for the impressiveness of the Smoki house at the Way Out West this year, has accepted the management of the art department and IS now busy furthering plans to make this years exhibits one of the best. Miss Cory will have the as sistance and cooperation of Tom Bate, who has managed this depart ment for the past several years.
 From the American Association of Art at Washington, D. C., Miss Cory has secured promise of handsome exhibit of 31 pieces by American masters, both classic and contem- porary, which will form the chief interest of the art department.
 The amateurs nights is a plan of Miss Cory's which, if carried out as it probably will be, should afford those especially interested in paint ing and in the particular canvasses which will be included in the Ameri- can associations exhibit, an oppor- tunity to study them at close hand and become better acquainted with their qualities and attractions. It is planned to hold these nights in con junction with picnic suppers for an informal gathering of art lovers.
