ARTISTIC TALENT DISPLAYED
ON GROCER,s STORE WINDOW.

A grocer on G street northwest not
far from the Union station, every week
displays his artistic talent on the front
window of his store. This grocer can
draw a resemblance of almost any kind
of an animal with small paint brush
and a little chalked water, providing,
of course. the animal poses for him.
The other day the food merchant, tits
said, wanted to sketch picture OF a
chicken on the window to advertise
special sale of the foul. But the chicken
wouldn't remain still long enough for
him to draw even an outline.
Placing the chicken back in Its coop,
the grocer assiduously set to work to
draw picture Of chicken on the
window from memory. The grocer
artist qualified perfectly to enter a
school of the cubist art.
The chicken on the windoW-well, 1t
could be taken for almost anything ex-
cept chicken. One passerby described
it as a cross between a pigeon and one
of our antedeluvian ancestors, whoever
they are.
Anyhow. the picture answered its
purpose. For underneath Of the draw

PETROLEUM INDUSTRY HAS GROWN TO POINT WHERE 275,- OOO WELLS NOW PRODUCING.

The first oil we'll in the United States was brought in sixty-three years ago by Col. Edwin L. Drake, near Titusville, Pa, It was only sixty-nine feet deep, but it marked the beginning of an epoch the im- portauce of which has only begun to be realized.
 T demand for oil created by the development of the internal combus- ton engine has so stimulated the growth of the industry that there are today, according to estimates by the American Petroleum insh' tute. about 275,OOO producing we'll in America.

Sailor Mob
 Battle Police

Tacoma, Sept. l5,-The most men acing mob seen here in years was dispersed last night after every pol ice officer in the city and provost guards from vessels Of the Pacific fleet. now in the harDor. and military police from Camp Lewis were called on duty.
 The mob consisted of 2,OOO sailors and civilians and it was bent on des- troying the St. Charles hotel, where three sailors had been stabbed. While officers guarded the front of the Eo- tel, some members of the mob gain ed entrance through a rear window and ramsacked two rooms before they were routed.
 Arrest of 12O sailors finally brought quiet.
 The trouble started when E. c. Parkison, James Wyatt and Joe Cowan, sailors in the navy, went to the hotel to obtain a room for a cOmrade, whom they desired to so- Der up. When told no rooms were available, a dispute started during which John Sciotti pulled a stiletto and a blackjack and quickly stabbed and beat the three sailors.
 SCiotti is in the city jail charged with attempted murder. ParkisOn is in the ship hospital on the battle ship New York with three serious stabs in his abdomen and Wyatt and Cowan are recovering from their painful injuries.

PATROLNIAN SAW TINY BLAZE
 TURNS IN FIRE ALARM DISCOVERED ARISEN MACHINE

Denver, Sept. 14.-A queer con trivance, declared by police to be an larson machine" discovered in a downtown Denver clothing store, re- suited in the detention for investi- gation here of J. Peterman, pro- prietor of the store.
 While walking his beat early in the morning Patrolman Ryan mo- ticed a tiny blaze in Peterman's clothing store. He immediately turned in an alarm and fremen dis covered the larson machine" upon their entrance into the store.
 The intricate apparatus consists of an alarm clock, a dipper. a sul- phur torch and an open bucket of gasoline.
 The sulphur torch was lighted and had been placed in the dipper. Above the torch was a strip of gasoline-soaked newspaper, leading to the bucket of gasoline Under the dipper, and so placed that it would cause the newspaper fuse to become lighted, was quantity of charcoal that had been soaked in oil. The handle of the dipper was attached to the key of the alarm clock. When the alarm "went off, the key would be released, thus over turning the dipper and the lighted sulphur torch, the latter setting fire to the newspaper fuse which led to the bucket of gasoline.
 Patrolman Ryan discovered the tiny blaze at 3:15 o'clock in the morning, and the alarm clock had been set for $40.
 Peterman was arrested a few minutes later as he was walking past the store. He denies all knowledge of the larson machine

in the intense heat, their only shelter the cars, where the heat was intensi- fled by the hardwood and metal un- til it was next to unbearable, even night bringing little relief.
 Since the through trains were tied up last Thursday and all train move ment between Needles and Ashfork was stopped, stub trains have run at intervals more or less regularly through Flagstaff, carrying passen- gers, mail and local freight. But mail was an uncertain proposition. We got Fridays papers from Phoenix on Sat urday morning, then got Saturdays, Sundays and Mondays in bunch on Tuesday morning. Nothing doing on Wednesday.
 It is claimed at Needles that what brought on the tie-up was the action of the train crews in taking advantage of permission granted by officials of the Big Four" brotherhood to walk out wherever armed guards were maintained by the railroad company. Sheriff Shay of San Bernardino county, California, sent several armed guards to Needles. A committee from the Big Four" notified Superinten- dent J. A. Christie of the Arizona div ision that they could not work while these guards were tolerated by the company. At four o'clock last Thurs day afternoon the men quit their

trains at Needles, others abandoning trains at other desert points.
 The bumpers along the line west of Needles went on strike the morning of the day preceding, and as conse- quence, most of the water tanks were empty.
 There was considerable trouble in Needles preliminary to the walk-out. One side claims the armed guards are doing a lot of promiscuous shooting; the other side that it is the strikers. According to the Needles Nugget, the guards have done it all. Among oth- CT occurrences, it is claimed several waitresses at the Harvey House were insulted, which resulted in the chas- tisement of the ruffians at the hands of Needles women. It is claimed that two of the strike -breakers were kid-, mapped and carried out on the desert somewhere and abandoned there to die.
 By Saturday California was pretty well tied up by strikers on the Santa Fe, Southern Pacific and other lines, though the Union Pacific was able to resume train service.
 On Sunday the Arizona Eastern lines were still unaffected by the strike. President Harding wired to Governor Campbell as follows:
 q am informed that several pas senger trains on the Santa Fe rail-

Flagstaff We'll Fixed for Strike

Flagstaff can stand several weeks of strike, if it has to. It interferes seriously with lumber shipments, but there is little else that needs to go out now. The stores are all in good shape. As David Babbitt said yes terday, Flagstaff can't be starved. We have potatoes, flour, beef and mutton. Practically all other foodstuffs are here in plenty, except butter and eggs, and these are being trucked from Phoenix. Babbittt Brothers got a truck-load from Ashfork Wednesday that had been trucked there from Phoenix and Tuesday night Jim Fry left with his truck for Phoenix to bring up load. Fruit may be had in abundance, the growers on Oak Creek and the country south of here bringing it in daily, as they do every year at this time.
 Struck Without Warning
 The trainmen's strike on the Santa Fe came with practically no warning. As result, nearly dozen transcon- tinental passenger trains were held at Albuquerque and nearly as many more, east-bound, at various points between Ashfork and Barstow. Many of the trains were deserted by their crews at Needles, Seligman, and oth- CT hot desert points, leaving many hundred passengers to suffer for days
