Refiners Hare
Learned a Lesson

Perhaps the most amusing
incident which has developed during
the recent month, Is the manner I'm
which the refiners were "polarized"
by the very brilliant purchasing
agent OF the Standard Of Indiana,
who has now been elected n director
and whose picture has appeared In
all the papers from Maine to
California. and from the Gulf of
Mexico to tho Artic Circle,
That the Standard of Indiana
made no mistake when IT elected
him a director. is amply proven by
the fact that he is one man in the
bunch that can Initiate, direct, and
hand out an Interview without II
being first properly censired. which
did more 20 stilfen the refined
market and keep the refiners all
sound asleep. than any ono par

view that not only made the re-
finers feel secure in the business
they were going to do next month
and the big prices they were going
70 realize. but kept them from
hustling for business. and put tho
marketers all on edge and made
them 20 on one great big buyers

II the Independent marketers are
not hoodooed the same way. before

have not taken on a lot of gasoline

time that the good Lord has pro-
tected them.
There will be less Standard OIL
and a lot more hard hustling from
now on. In the first place, there
are the east-bound rates east OF the
Mississippi that must he looked

SECRET INDICTMENT

Heavy Bond Of $4,000 Set
Harold Taffe and Rol-

dicted, Appear In Court

One secret indictment was re-
turned by the special county grand
jury yesterday and two defendants
who had previously been indicted ap
peared before Judge r. C. Stanford
in the superior court for arraignment.
There was no hint given out as to the
nature of the secret indictment ex-
cept the fact that preceding its re-
turn many witnesses from Peoria had
appeared before the jury for exam
ination. There were persistent rum
ors that the affairs bringing about
the closing of the Peoria Exchange
bank were being investigated
Harold Taffee returned from Santa
Monico. Calf. yesterday to face two
charges, one of kidnapping and one
of aggravated assault, brought
against him by the grand jury. Ee
told officers that he returned to
Phoenix as soon as he learned that
the indictments had been returned
against him. He appeared before
Judge Stanford for arrangement, but
as the papers in his case were not
available this was postponed. Taffe
was Jointly indicted with Tom Akers
the charges growing out of an alleged
whipping administered to Ira Hay
wood early in March.
Set Jones Trial
Roilin 2. Jones also appeared for
arraignment. The grand jury brought
two charges against him. one alleg-
ing to attempt to commit a statu-
tory offense and the other alleges ag-
gravated assault Coming before the
Judge without an attorney, Jones
entered a plea of not guilty to each
charge and asked that the date of his
trial be set some time after Septem-

Tucson Realtors
License Revoked
For Rest of Year

An Oh der was issued yesterday by
Rudolph Kuchler. state real estate
commissioner, revoking the license
of l.. +. Holmes, Tucson real estate
agent, for the remainder of the year
1922, the order to take effect III
days from date of issuance. The order
was issued upon the findings of Mr.
Kuchler in hearing held in Tucson
on June II of the complaint Of Frank
E. Whitaker against Holmes.
According to the evidence present
ed at the hearing of the case in Tue
son, Holmes sold Whitaker ranch
representing that Carl Ranzell was
the cwner of the ranch. whereas II
developed after the sale had been
made, that the title in the land was
held by Frederick Winstell, and that
Holmes sold Whitaker only an equity
in the land. Whitaker the evidence
showed, believed he was buying the
title to the land and in so leading
him to believe this. Mr. Kuchler
ruled in this case. Holmes violated
the real estate brokers' law.

WASHINGTON. June 26-It may

If there are any other stars or

'If we could talk freely with In

from those of this world. our conVer-
sation would not only be of surpass-
ing interest to science and the hu-
manities." Or. Abbot says, but what
a guide it might prove to statesmen
and sociologists!
Great interest has been shown
within late years In reports that
wireless stations were receiving SIG
nails which could come only from
another world, he continues. How
ever. the best information seems 10
be that the wireless indications re-
ferred to are merely disturbances in

es as yet imperfectly understood, and
not the work of intelligent being try

computations have been made which
seem to make it within the limits of
possibility that wireless communica-

nearer planets. if it were worth while
doing so.
