County Treasurer Carr's inaugural
was happy one. More than a score
of floral pieces were delivered at the
county treasurer's Office, the most con-
spicuous of which was a huge floral
stepladder, showing Treasurer Carr's
progress in public life. The first step
was marked Committeeman" the
next Alderman" the third Sanitary
District Trustee" and the last Treas
rer." AT the top was floral chair
with a big Interrogation mark, indi-
eating that Mr.. Carr's friends have
hopes that he will be promoted to a
still higher office.
The committee of county commits
sioners to whom County Treasurer
Carr surrendered his office and ac-
counts, consisted of Emmett Whealan,
Frank j. Wilson and William H. Mac
Lean. Mr. Carr's turnover letter was
accompanied by affidavits showing the
monthly interest earnings on public
money, the total for the fiscal year

The Crime Commission has an easy
way to reduce crime in Chicago. 1t
does it with a lead pencil.
No one-not even the Chief of Po-
lice-would believe it if he did not
see it in writing
<eA
The crime figures were so low
that the chief at first regarded them
with suspicion When he ascertained
that the number of burglaries, rob-
berries and larcenies had been
checked by the Chicago Crime Com
mission he asserted that they are
amazing but true
%S
The Tribune published the figures
the other day There were only 126
burglaries, robberies and larcenies in
Chicago in 1922 as against 222 in
1921, according to this report for last
week

1t would seem as if the only need
for grand juries was to investigate
school board criminals.

The Crime Commission has not
issued any bulletins showing the
number of men who come down town
to gamble for money all afternoon
and who can park their cars every
day in the loop as long as they wish
to without police interference.

The decision was close but the umpire
ruled it out. The locals added one more
count which came by the way of double
and single that followed. This put the
game on ice for keeps, for the visitors

Bur pitched nice game of ball all the
way, excepting the one batter he pitched
to, mentioned above. He allowed only
six hits that were scattered over as many
innings. His infeld support was very
poor. He struck out ten men, passed four
on balls, issued two wild pitches and hit
one batter.
Meyer the visiting teams pitching artist,
displayed good class of goods which the
local slabmen took fancy too. The
support he had from his teammates was
somewhat ragged, mostly wild throwing.
He allowed total of fourteen hits, struck
out three men and passed one on balls.

HENSON POSTMASTER HAS
 LONG SERVICE RECORD

Twenty-seven years of continuous service!
 That is the longest service record of any postmaster in the United States, and in May, 1922, it will be the record of L. D. Redfeld of Ben son.
 Prior to receiving his appointment as postmaster at Benson, Redfeld was in the postal service as assistant to his father who had the contract for the pony express mail service in this territory and was the first postmaster at Redington.
 It was during the second term or the Cleveland administration that Redfeld became postmaster at Benson, and the twenty-seventh anniversary of his examination will be reached next May. It will be an event that has come to no other postmaster in the United States, and it ought to be celebrated with pomp and display.
 During all the period of time Red field has been a faithful worker and has endeared himself to all the people of the community.

ARIZONA TRADER MURDERED AND HIS
 STORE BURNED

A crime in Apache county last week by its similarity recalls the murder in 1919 of Chas. Hubbell, Indian trader of this county.
 Frank Dugan was murdered in his trading store at Cross Canyon, Ariz., Wednesday night. The store is To- cated about eight miles from St. Michaels.
 Indians passing the store brought the information to Fort Defiance Thursday morning that the store had been burned and that nothing could be seen of Dugan, who was in charge. A phone message was sent to Gallup and c. M. Sabin and G. w. Mahan of Gallup went to the store. They found Dugan's dead body in the ware house to the rear of the store in the part where the hay is kept. He had been struck over the head with a large club which was found beside him in the warehouse. It appears that the blow on the head caused instant death.
 The store was then robbed and set on fire and was completely destroyed. It is presumed that the murder was committed by Navajos. Many Indians live in their hogans near the trading store but they all claim not to have seen the fire.
 Dugan was about thirty years of age. He had been born and reared in Gallup, the son of the late Frank Dugan and is survived by his aged mother, Mrs. Sarah Dugan of Gallup He is half brother of P. J. Dugan assistant warden of New Mexico state penitentiary.
 At the age of fifteen he was run over by switch engine in the Gallup yards while riding on speeder when employed as call boy for the Santa Fe. In this accident he lost his left arm which had to be amputated. He had had considerable experience ir dealing with the Navajos and was considered very expert trader and g man who need have no fear of violence from them. He had learned the Ian. guage when he was a small child ant conversed with them very fluently.

BRIEF STATE NEWS
ARIZONA PROSECUTORS
 WANT TIGHT DRY LAW

Amendments strengthening the states prohibition and gambling laws were recommended by the County At torney's association at Nogales Mon- day and Tuesday.
 Resolutions were adopted asking governor Campbell to urge in his pro- posed call for a special session of the legislature the enactments of amendments to those laws. The asso- citation seeks to amend the prohibition law so that possession of still or any other apparatus for manufacture of liquor. will be crime. 1t likewise desires to have the gambling law im- proved so as to prohibit gambling in any form in Arizona.
 The county attorneys are said to favor reenactment of what is known as the Duffy gambling act, introduced in the legislature years ago by Frank J. Duffy, of Santa Cruz, and repealed by the same legislature that passed it. Gambling in Arizona is prohib- ited," was suggested as the complete text of the proposed law.
 Attorney general w. J. Galbraith, chairman of the convention, declared for a special session of the legislature he has decided to ask governor Camp bell that the latter in his proposed call recommend to the legislators that ac- tion be taken to provide more severe penalty for bankers who receive de- posits in banks which are insolvent. He described the present law covering that offense as inadequate.
 The drug problem was considered briefly but no recommendation were made.
