The Gila Valley Bank and Trust
company was organized in Decem-
ber, 1899, and it's first banking in
stitution was established at Solomon
vile, Ariz., the following year. One
by one branches were established,
headquarters office later being es-
tablished at Globe and the Solomon
vile institution finally being aban-
doned.
II. T.. Moore was in charge OF the
first institution and has remained
active in the management of the COR
poration's affairs throughout it's ex-
istence.
Took Over Bank in 1914
1t was in 1914 that the officers of
the Gila Valley Bank and Trust COM
pany came to Phoenix to take over
the affairs of The Valley Bank. For
the past seven and one-half years
the two banks have been handled by
the same management, through sep
arate companies.
Frequently during this period. the
advisability of consolidating the two
banks into one great corporation has
been considered, said yesterdays an
nouncement. This consolidation is
now being effected through the pur-
chase of the Gila Valley Bank and
Trust company by The Valley Bank.
Action taken yesterday by the di-
rectors of the two systems is the
outcome of steps initiated last
March. Since that time, negotiations
for the purchase have been under
way, the final agreement being
signed Monday afternoon.
No Change In Policy
The policy of the new banking sys-
tenn remains in the same hands as
heretofore. Il was emphasized yes
terday. The policy will be unchanged
and the banking officials yesterday
stressed the point that they will man
ifest an active interest in each COM
munity where banks are established.
''It will be our Plan in the future,
as in the past, to take care of the
needs OF our customers" the an
nouncement said.

AMERICAN OIL MEN
PLAN To OPEN NEW
FIELDS IN MEXICO

NEW YORK, June 19.--The five oil
company heads who are to open a
series of conferences tomorrow with
Adolfo de la Huerta, Mexican min
lister of finance, will place before him
a proposition that their companies act
In concert rather than individually in
leaving the coast country to prospect
for oil in the inland sections of Mex
leo. This was stated authoritative
ly tonight with the explanation that
the American oil men believe the oil
bearing land along the Mexican gulf
has all been proven or disproven by
now, so that those seeking new fields
must go into virgin territory. Should
oil be found inland, petroleum Off
cials contend, it would be too expen-
sive for each of the companies to
build separate storage, pumping and
pipe line facilities TO the sea and TO
build their own roads to the prospec-
tive fields. So they wish to reach an
agreement permitting them to con-
solidate in this work.
The oil officials who are to meet
de la Huerta tomorrow to take UP
this matter and others connected
with the Mexican petroleum situation,
are the same five who reached an
agreement with the Obregon adminis-
tration in Mexico City last fall by
which the ''tax situation was made
more bearable,' as one of them ex-
pressed it, They are Walter c. Tea
gle, president of the Standard Oil
company of New Jersey: r.. l.. Do
heny, chairman of the Mexican Pc
troleum company; Harry +. Sinclair
of the Sinclair Consolidated Oil
company: J. w. Vandyke, head of the
Atlantic Refining company, and Amos
L. Beatty, president of the Texas
company. II was understood the
matter Of oil taxes also would be
brought UP at the conference here
since both sides regarded the agree
ment reached last fall as compro-
mise, based on circumstances then
existing.
I The agreement coupled with the su-
preme court ruling the same week
that article 27, giving the govern
ment increased powers over natural
resources. was not retroactive. re-
suited in the resumption of exporting
from Mexican oil loading centers.
A fresh interest has been added 70
the conferences here by the agree
ment reached last week between de
la Huerta and the international COM
mittee OF bankers on Mexico, by
which IL was stipulated that oil taxes
should go into a special fund under
which Mexico would meet current in
terests on it's external debt.
Neither de la Huerta nor the oil
men would discuss their pending
conferences tonight

India for India
Party Stirring

DELHI. India, June 7-(By "A; Z.
MaiD-A new political party, calling
itself the National party. mas peen
organized in the Indian legislature
to give embodiment to the IDEAS Oh
the Indian moderates. Under the
leadership OF Sir p. S. SiVas"ami
Iyer, it is seeking to extend It's or
ganization into the provinces ana
districts.
The new party stands for "the at
tainment by constitutional methods
of full responsible government IN
India as an integral part or the
British empire" 1t is opposed on the
one hand to those British interests
which are seeking TO prevent the
attainment of self government by
India, and on the other hand to the
aims of extremist Indians who are
seeking to make India an indepen-
dent republic and who do not unit
themselves to constitutional methods.
The immediate objective of the
party is full autonomy in the prov
inces and the transfer to the legis-
lattre in the central government or
the control of all subjects other than
defense, political and foreign al
fairs, and ecclesiastical matters, SUD-
Arizona republican., 1922-06-20

ject to adequate safeguards for the
protection of the vested rights of
persons already in the service of the
crown and the fulfillment of the
country's obligations.
Among other policies favored are
the Inflammation of the army by
training Indians for service in all
branches of the defensive force and
for entering the commissioned ranks
thereof, so that the Indian army may
be differed by Indians; the anchor
alton OF the conditions Of labor. and
the development of the resources of
the country along the most suitable
lines. Leaders of the new party hope
to attain their ends by peaceful, or
derly and constitutional methods, and
without recourse to any methods
likely to result in violence The par
ty is opposed to the policy of pro-
ducing convulsions in the internal
administration of the country for the
purpose of securing any of its object.

Phoenix Proves Haven Of Refuge For
Little Girl Tossed by Storm of War

| Routed out of her home in France
| by the exploding lead and steel OF an
approaching enemy, little Rene Bro
card. 5 years old, after having been
! shunted about under many hazardous
and unpleasant conditions, found q
| happy refuge yesterday when Judge
Joseph S. Jenckes placed her into the
custody of w. c. Fulton, a war vet
eran, and his wife, who VIII give her
the freedom of their large ana pros
porous ranch in the Salt River valley.
Fulton helped fight the approaching
troops away from Rene's former home
in France. He recently learned OF
her presence here through another
ex- service man and began investiga-
tions to ascertain the conditions un-
der which she was living. He found
that she was in the charge of Wom-
an unqualified to care for her; tnat
her father had been killed in the
war. her mother was in Los Angeles
and her only relatives here We're her
grandparents, who were not in a po-
sition to give her proper care.
Rene is a bright little girl and
very pretty. Her big brown eyes
stare out upon a world that has treat
ed her harshly, without complaining.
But there is wistfulness in them
that gives forth a silent appeal for
little of the joy and sunshine which
belongs to youth.
During the war Rene's mother
worked in q munition factory in
France. Her father went to the front
and was killed. Her home was close
to the line of battle. Often her
grandmother carried her scurrying
into easements or other places OF
refuge while a rain of lead splattered

most atrocious in the history of the
west" a coroner's jury here late this
afternoon returned verdict finding
Orville j. Turley guilty of the mur-
der. The strangling of Mrs. Wise,
the jury declared, was "wilful, pre-
meditated and felonious," and the

A copy of Turkeys alleged confess
sion detailing the staying of the

Wise was slain Tuesday. Her body
was found Saturday.
Turley was not taken from the city
Jail to the inquest, but was trans
ferred instead to the county jail

mob action are said to have prompt
ed officers to have taken this means
of safeguarding their prisoner.

Turkeys attorney. announced today
he had telegraphed his brother, G. p.
Turley, of Van Buren, Mo-, OF Tur-

in the league would have had to over

senate. which was q factor in every
international situation in which
America was concerned and "streng-
thens the hand of those rigidly stand

He referred to the significance of
the new Washington treaties not only
with respect to actual achievement
but for the moral effect on all the
signatory nations, and concluded
with an allusion to the importance
of Anglo-American friendship, say
ing:
"As a citizen with no official man
