UNITED VERDE SHELTER
MAN HAS PATENT TO SAVE
PIG IRON FROM THE STAG

Pig iron may be one of the major
products of Arizona within a few
years. At the present time, the smell
ters of the state are turning out at
least as much iron as the product OF
copper, constituting an economic
waste Of appalling magnitude. No use
is made of this iron, which is run
out with the Stag, burned" and value
less.
All this may be changed by pat
ent issued last October to Charles r.
Kuzell, assistant superintendent OF
the United Verde smelter. 1t is
said to provide for a fluxing off OF
the iron in the Stag, after it has sery-
ed its use in carrying the copper
through the furnace, and of casting
the iron into merchantable and useful
form.
G. L. Oldright and r. v. Thurston
of the United States bureau of mines
were in Clarkdale recently and look
ed over the plans for the proposed
process. They declare It win accom-
plish much toward reducing the losses
Of bullion in Stag. Practical applica-
ton is to be started soon in the
United Verde smelter, wherein, it is
claimed, already is a smaller loss of
values in Stag than in any other re-
duction plant in the southwest.

WASHINGTON. - It's sensibilities
overtaxed by the Kaleidoscope career
Of the oil scandal, the national capital
is about to witness the further ordeal
of a grand jury probe into astonish-
ing charges against several important
public officials.
President Coolidge has ordered that
all of the mysterious illusions to
wrong doing in Washington contained
in the recent Chicago grand jury re-
port be sifted to the bottom. Plans
to carry instructions into effect have
begun and the presentation of evi-
dence on which criminal indictments
will be sought, will be started in a
few days.
The charges that turned up incl
dentally in the course of the Chicago
veterans bureau inquiry relate to q
number of subjects unconnected with
the bureau end involving at least two
members of the house of representa-
tives who are alleged to have improp-
erly accepted money.
At last one "high official is accus-
ed of having used official information
for the purposes of speculation; liquor
withdrawal permits are said to have
been issued illegally, pardons We're

SANTA FE OFFERS $4,000
REWARD FOR WRECKERS

Reward of $4,000 was offered by the
Santa Fe railroad company for the
arrest and conviction of those re-
sponsible for the wreclcing of Santa
Fe train No. AZ, near Wickefburg Fri
day night.
This announcement came as the at
termath of the wreck which caused
the death of Engineer ]. NJ. Tarney
and the serious injury Of Fireman
Charles Taylor, both of whom were
scalded by boiling water and the live
steam escaping from the engine
boiler.
Announcement of the reward came
from Phoenix where it became known
in a telegram from ]. d. McCully,
Winslow superintendent of the AL
buquerque division of the Santa Fe, to
F. A. Hanna, assistant general freight
and passenger agent at Phoenix, and
w. <. Brown, agent at the Union sta
ton at Phoenix.
In the meantime civil officials Of
Prescott, and special agents of the
Santa Fe railway are busy in an in
vestigation of the case, but their de-
liberations were veiled in shroud Of
mystery.
The four suspects being held are
Refugio Lopez, Jesus Carral, Arcina
Johhy and Pedro Lopez.
The Mexicans were taken from .
train which they had boarded at Hill
side, few miles west of the wreck
They were walking along road il
was said, and were traced by Indian
trailers in a party headed by Deputies
Sheriff linus and Shaw of Sheriff
Mahoney's force at Kingman, Mohave
county. Immediately after the arrests
the Indians are said to have turned
and to have back-tracked their sus,
poets to the scene of the wreck.

DRY AGENT CLAIMS FRAME-UP
PLANNED BY CASSSIDY'S FOES

Willim Appel, suspended federal
prohibition officer, who was arrested
ct Tucson upon request of federal
authorities in Tucson, told newspaper
men in his cell in the county jail that
he was on his way to Phoenix when
placed under arrest, and denied that
he had planned to flee to Mexico.

federal grand jury in Phoenix on
Tuesday for the alleged theft of a
diamond sticl1pin, tonight charged
certain government employees in Ariz-
ona with framing" his arrest and
prosecuting him because | refused
to line up with the element that want
ed to put the skids under Federal
Prohibition Director Mike Cassidy"
Appel said he had wired his attor-
ney in Phoenix from Nogales that he
was on his way to Phoenix to answer
to the most recent charge filed against
him.
"I1l tell you where / got the diam
ond stickpin when | get back to Phoe-

BUTTERFLY LIFE VANISHES
FROM THE VERDE VALLEY

The great flight of thistle butter
flies which was reported early in the
week from the Salt river valley passed
through the Verde district on Wednes-
day morning. The flight was first
noticed by C. J. Beale OF the United
Verde Extension, who called the at
tention of the Verde Copper News to
the fact that the butterflies had evil
IDENTIFY covered the distance from
Phoenix in less than two days.
The insects were passing the Ex-
tension offices in thousands and it
was but a few minutes until they were
moving across every part of the town,
the flight lasting for more than two
hours Comparing the Phoenix re-
ports with observations at Jerome, it
seems probable that Jerome was ON
the edge of the main flight as the
butterflies were in scattered punches,
seldom more than few dozens being
together.
The butterflies were identified at
Phoenix as Of the thistle" variety.
They are about the size. of a silver
half-dollar and the color is a mottled
brown with white edges around the
wings.
1t was a pretty sight to see the in
sects crossing Walnut gulch. The day
was clear and from the Hogback
group could be seen topping the hin
to the southeast, dropping down into
the gulch and rising again to clear
the Hogback. The flight was toward
the northwest and not single butter
fly was observed to alight. The state
entomologist declares that these but
terflies are not in any way harmful
to vegetation, and that the species has
this habit of migration, strange in
stinct that has never been satisfactor-
lily xplained.-Jerome News.

SPECTATORS IN COURT TOLD
TO DISARM AT PHOENIX

Rumors Of impending violence in
connection with the trial of Tom Pet
TIT and Grover Waddle, alleged cattle
rustlers, caused Superior Judge
Struckmeyer to order spectators in the
courtroom to "disarm" themselves if
any were carrying concealed weapons.
The court declared that any persons
holding shooting irons should 'leave
them outside, or in care of the sher-
if"
Waddle and Pettitt, who were ar
rested several weeks ago at Kerville,
Texas, after forfeiting their bond
here, are jointly charged with grand
larceny involving theft of cattle. Many
livestock men from various parts Of
the state were present at the trial.
The trial is the second faced by the
two men on the same charge. The
first trial last week in the court OF
Superior Judge Phelps resulted in a
verdict of conviction.

CONGRESSMEN LAUGH
WHEN BLANTON DENIES
A CONGRESSIONAL JUG

Although bit upset over rumors
reflecting on this and that member of
congress, the house declined to become
excited over a story linking an un-
named representative with bootleg
ger.
Representative Blanton, democrat,
Texas, demanded an investigation OF
the arrest, near the capitol, of man
who was quoted as having told a po-
liceman he was headed for the house
office building to deliver a congress
man the jug of liquor he was toting.
Blanton declared such story re-
flected on the entire membership OF
the house. When he added that he
didn't believe single member of the
house would buy liquor from a boot
logger, there was roar of laughter
The resolution for an inquiry was
held out of order by Speaker Gillett
who declared the house could not pay
attention to vague rumors."

NEWS GENERAL INTEREST
SOUTH AGAINST LUXURY
HIGHWAY TO CALIFORNIA

The opposition Of the Bisbee, Doug
las, Nogales and Tombstone chambers
of commerce to the $7,000,0OO bond
issue proposed by Yuma is not pro
NOTED by any other motive exceDt that
of economy With the entire nation
seeking to reduce taxes it would be
foolish to saddle the people Of Arizona
with a $7,000,C00 principal and the
interest thereon, for if there is to be
any relief tolthe taxpayers of Arizona
there must not only be cut in the
present expenditures but it must be
seen that no further indebtedness is
contracted.
While a paved road from Tucson,
via Florence, Phoenix and ella Bend
to Yuma would be a wonderful adver-
'tlsement for Arizona, such enormous
expenditure at this time, when the in
dustries Of the state are barely able
to meet tax assessments, is absolutely
and clearly unnecessary. There are
q few stretches on the Bankhead
highway that should be paved because
OF the high cost of upkeep, but this
work should be done by the counties
IN which they lie with money already
IN the road fund. But to float seven
million dollar bond issue to pave the
Tucson Yuma stretch would be outside
the bounds of good reasoning.
Taxpayers must remember that
with falling prices it IS doublv diff
ficult to meet the interest on bonds
or pay private or public debts. The
farmer who must raise a large en-
ough crop to feed his family, his
stock and have $500 left at the end
OF the year to pay on his mortgage
will find that it Is no easy matter to
save enough money to meet all oblig-
ations while prices are on the tobog-
gin. With inflated war prices it was
easy, but as they began to fall, and
viii continue to fall perhaps for the
next quarter of q century, it becomes
more and more difficult to make the
payments on the mortgages. The only
way he can meet all obligations is to
increase his production, ard IL he is
a good farmer he already is producing
the limit.
The state is already overburdened
with $40,000,000 bonded indebtedness
and with the cry for reduced taxes
going on from every county in the
state, this is no time to increase. our
worries. Economy and lower taxes
go hand in hand; bond issues and high
taxes are bedfellows.

REV. f. JOSEPH BARRETTE
TRANSFERRED TO WTNSLOW

Rev. Father j. O. Barrette, who was
recently appointed pastor Of The Cath
olic church at Holbrook, has been MANI
ed by Bishop Gercke to succeed Faith
er Albouy, who was selected to take
charge Of the Flagstaff pastorate.
Father Albouy left for Flagstaff on
Monday evening, ald Father EarTet-e
arrived here Tuesday 10 assume ihs
duties.
Announcements Of the change was
made iast Sunday at the mor'ang SER
vitas. Father Barretse was born at
Ottawa, Canada, coming to the United
States when he was boy. He has
lived in Arizona twenty-five years,
most of which time he had charge OF
the pastorates at Globe and Miami.
AS result of the transfer Holbrook
becomes mission, which will be Wis
tied every two weeks.
The transfer of Father Albouy to
Flagstaff was deemed advisable owing
to the fact that he was personal
friend Of the late Father Vabre and
was familiar with conditions at Flag
staff. In his announcement of the
change Sunday morning Father Al
bouy expressed regret at leaving
Winslow and the parish, which has ac-
complished a great deal during the
time that he has had charge of the
congregation. He has been pastor of
st. Joseph's church since May, 1918,
coming to Winslow from Kingman.
A farewell party is being arrangs
ed for Father Albouy, who will return
to Winslow the first of the week to
ship the remainder of his effects to

REDUCE MARRIAGE LICENSES
TO AID LEAP YEAR COUPLES

"Leap year" in Greenlee county was
given added impetus when the state
examiner ordered substantial reduc
tion in marriage license fees in that
county, bringing the rate in effect
there to the same scale under which
marriage licenses are purchased IN
other counties Of the state.
Hereafter the swain in Greenlee
county who contemplates plunging in
to double harness can do so for 81.
instead of $3.50, as heretofore exacted
by the county clerk.
The reduction was ordered by F. Il.
Edinborough, state examiner, who, up
on discovering the higher rate in eff
feet in Greenlee, asked the attorney
general for an opinion in the case.
The attorney general declared that the
correct and lawful charge under the
statutes of the state for a marriage
license is So.

JOSE GARCIA BADLY WOUNDED.
IN WINSLOW SHOOTING SCRAPE

Frank Garcia, sheepherder work
ing for Les Hart, is being held in the
city Jail pending the outcome OF a
shooting scrape which took place on
the southside early Sunday morning
in which Joe Garcia was shot twice,
one of the bullets entering his right
lung and the other his abdomen.
Jose Garcia, who at the last report
was resting easy in St. Joseph's hos
pital where he was taken after the
shooting, is said to have declared he
was attacked by several men at a
house on the southside. He is also
said to have made a statement that
Frank Garcia and others had invited
him out of the house and into the
street where Frank Garcia shot him
in cold blood.
When questioned by local officers
Frank Garcia asserted that Jose IN
vited him out of the house, grabbed
him by the shirt and told him to hand
over his money. Refusing to do Sc
he alleges that Jose struck him in the
face, whereupon he pulled his gun ano
fired two shots at his assailant. Botf
bullets inflicted serious wounds. Franl
Garcia's shirt was torn showing thai
someone had evidently grabbed hin
and his face was bruised, apparently
| the result of blow.
Local officers are inclined to pu1
more credecence in Frank Garcia's
story than in that of the woundee
man. 1t is an open secret that Franl
Garcia has had his money taken away
from him on three different occasions
when he came to Winslow after re
ceiving his pay. Jose Garcia was one
of the defendants in the recent Mon
/ toya case. The two men are not re-
| lated.-W Winslow Mail.
