The arrest was the result of dog
ged. persistence on part of the sher-
iff and his men, coupled with a blum
der on the part of the fugitive.
Romero wanted to return to the
United States. So, just before he
crossed the line into Old Mexico, of
which he is a citizen, he sent another
Mexican from FL Paso to this county
to spy out conditions of the hunt and
report to him.
His emissary arrived in Flagstaff
and went to Camp % of the Saginaw
& Manistee Lumber Co., south of
Bellemont. He conducted his inquiIlcs
cautiously, got line on what the
sheriff's office was doing, then start
ed on his way back to FL Paso. But
some of the men to whom he talked
got wise. The sheriff was notified,
just too late to nab the man in this
county. He left here a few hours
ahead of Campbell, who caught up
with him at Gallup, N NJ, and had
him jailed.
Then the sheriff, who left Flagstaff
last week, went on to Ell Paso, located
his man in Guadalajara, wired on
there and had him arrested, then no
titled his office here, ON Tuesday, by
wire.
Romero was being sought in sheep,
lumber and mining camps south and
southwest of Flagstaff, but had, ac-
cording to his emissary, walked to
Winslow, from there catching train
to Grant, N. NJ, where he worked for
eight days in an extra railroad gang.
He won 5000 in a poker game, quit
his job and went to Ell Paso, where he
formerly lived. Here he hired the
man to come back and see what was
being done to find him and whether it

BIG CROWD AT PAGEANT
In HONOR OF M'MULLENS

A large enthusiastic audience wit
messed the performance of the page
ant, Medicine Makers" by the scout
leadership and campfire guardian
classes, in honor of President and
Mrs. L. B. McMullen of Flagstaff
Normal school last Friday evening.
The main features were the induc-
tion of President McMullen as an
honorary chief of the scoutleader-
ship tribe, and Mrs. McMullen as an
honorary princess of the guardians.
The initiatory ceremonies included the
Interpretation of 'Wohelo" and other
features symbolic Of the campfire
program, and the symbolic ritual and
medicine dances used by the various
Indian tribes. All the principals were
attired in special Indian costumes,
others taking part being attired in
their campfire gowns and scout uni
forms. The pageant made great
impression on the audience, the prin-
cipal parts being exceptionally well
portrayed.

was wiser for him to stay south of
the border.
County Attorney Frank Harrison is
preparing the regular form of extra
dition papers, for which the time of
filing at Mexico City has been limited
to September 5. 1t is usual in ex-
tradition from a foreign country to
have the papers vised by the authori-
ties in the national capitol. With the
translating involved and the length of
time the Washington formalities
would take, the papers could not be
prepared and in Mexico City by the
date set. State Attorney-G General
Murphy has advised Mr. Harrison
that it is unnecessary to work
througsl Washington, but that if the
papers a4e prepared in the manner
customary in gl.tiag extradition from
one state to anothc t will be suffl-
cient. Mr. Harrison is going ahead
on that basis, at the same time pre-
pairing another set of extradition pa
pers in accordance with regular inter
national usage. If the first set does
not effect the release Of Romero to
Sheriff Campbell he feels that it will
at least result in an extension of time
for filing, and then the second set
can come into play.
The murder was cold-blooded. Con
zales was called out of a pool hall on
South San Franciso street by Romero.
They were talking when the latter
pulled a six-gun and shot twice at his
victim, missing him. The next four
shots struck Gonzales, one in the
heart. A moment later Romero shot
Carmel Ramirez, wounding him.
There were a score of witnesses. Ro-
nero ran west, being last seen near
the armory.

CARBON BUYS LOCATION
FROM ALBERS AND WILL
BUILD A FINE new GARAGE

A real estate deal, important in the
effects it will soon have on Flag
staff's building improvements, was
made a few days ago when Lee Car
ron bought from Henry Albers the
four lots at the northeast corner OF
Beaver street and Railroad avenue.
Mr.. Albers had intended building a
modern laundry on the lots, but de-
cided instead to build it on other lots
he has bought on Milton road just
beyond the Electric Light Co., plant,
his present location.
Mr.. Carron within the next 60 days
will vacate the big Francis garage on
South Railroad avenue and move to
the two buildings on the lots he has
acquired from Mr.. Albers. He Will
use the stone building on the corner
as an office and parts and accessories
store, and the good-sized brick bulld-
ing at the rear as a service machine
shop for Buick and Chevrolet cars
both of which he handles. The Old
Trails garage is now occupying the
corner building and the brick struct-
ure is being used as wool and pelts
warehouse by Dick Richardson and
Stanton Borum.
MIR. Carron expects as soon as plans
are completed to begin the erection
of a big garage and general auto
store and service station at Beaver
and Railroad, covering all four lots.
He will have gasoline pumps on both
streets. This building, he promises,
will be just about the most complete
and niftiest of its kind.

DON'T POST POLITICAL
SIGNS ON FOREST TREES

Instructions have been received by
the local forest office to warn all
hands, political or otherwise, to keep
their signs off trees along the roads
or elsewhere in the national forests.
Signs found by forest officers will be
torn down.
Ranger Oldham points out that
few people going by in an automobile
at twenty to forty miles an hour, can
read the signs. The forest service is
having many of the old forest warm
ing signs taken down believing they
are not only unsightly, but do not pro
duce results except at points where
parties usually make camp.

Career Brothers Will
Operate Sign Plant Here

Ewell & Child, attorneys for Ches-
ter P. Ray, Sr., deceased have sold to
James c., and M. Fred Carver the
property recently owned and operated
by the Brilliant Manufacturing Co.
The Carver brothers are from Ma
rumsco, Somerset county, Md, and
have successfully conducted the can
ming business there for some years.
They are well and most favorably
known here, and are heartily welcom-
ed into the business circles of POGO
moke City.
They have already begun operations
in the sign painting and manufactur-
ing industry, and no doubt their ener-
gy and experience will soon make the
business boom.
The consideration of the property
is private. Manufacturing plants are
what Pocomoke is looking for, and
she is ready to do everything in her
power to induce investments of this
sort to locate here.

SEP1UACENARIAN WALKS
ACROSS THE CONTINENT
From Oregon To Maine Twice In
As Many Years.-Visited
Pocomoke Saturday

John Wesley Hammond a 77-year-
old pedestrian, called at the Demo-
Gratis office last week, and related
some very interesting experiences.
Mr.. Hammond claims to have start
ed from Portland, Oregon, on Janu-
ary 1, 1922 and, walking the entire
way, reached Maine on December 27,
1922. He then took train and trav-
ersed the continent back to the Pacific
slope, from which region he again
started footing it on February 2, 1923
and reached the Atlantic states this
month, making his course in south
erly direction instead of northerly.
He represents that he is collecting
material for a book which he has ev-
cry assurance will be published by
the Mcmillan Company, he being very
intimate with one Of the firm who is
pushing the aged walkers interests.
Mr.. Hammond states that, in order
to get first hand experiences, he is
travelling without money; making
his way by laboring for pay land also
accepting such assistance as may be
voluntarily offered. He has, for the
sake Of atmosphere, delved at many
an occupation. He has worked in the
mines, followed plow on the farm,
washed dishes in hotels, braked on
railroads and taken a hand at many
another job. He exhibited a bulky as
sortment Of manuscript, and looks al
ready as if he had sufficient data for
many books. He has selected for the
title Of his work, "The Main Drag, or
Life as l See It,"
The adventurer is a small and
somewhat slender specimen of man.
He is wiry, looks hardened by wind
and weather. He states that he eats
no meats, and, when relating his ex-
periences to the editor, was partaking
of a diet of peanuts. He is not par
ticular as to where night finds him,
sleeping soundly wherever he can find
any shelter whatever.
He was an interesting and instruc-
tive talker; belonged to several Sc
cret orders, K. Of p, and l. O. o. F.,
among the number. He left here
bound for Wilmington, DEL, taking in
the shore towns.

Maryland War Heroes To
Haze Memorial Building

Baltimore is erecting on the City
Hall Plaza a War Memorial Building.
the object Of which is to perpetuate
the memory Of Maryland's heroes.
Tablets containing the names of those
who fought and died for the sake of
Democracy will be placed in position
in this building, and each county will
be asked to submit plans for one of
these.
The War Memorial Commission,
consisting of Harry C. Jones, chair
man, E. Brooke Lee, L. H. Fowler,
and DR.. Hugh H. Young ,have stated
that the county tablets will be ranged
around the walls of the main room.
Each will be approximately four feet
wide and six feet high. They will be
made of buff-veined marble, and will
contain the honor roll of the county in
a symbolic setting.
What means will be taken by each
county to choose its plans, has not yet
been decided. The designs submitted
will be passed upon by the Commis-
sion before being accepted.
This is most satisfactory an
nouncement; and Worcester will,
doubtless, make every effort to have
her honor roll in this Hall of Fame.

Sen. HARRISON
WOULD SHORTEN
90-DAY SESSION
Introduces Bill In Interest Of Tax
And Time Saving.-60-Day
Session Proposed.
BILL WILL PROBABLY
BE REPORTED FAVORABLY

Senator Harrison's Bill, constitut-
ing an Amendment to Section Is Ar
ticle of the Constitution of the State
of Maryland, title Legislative De-
partment," relating to the number of
days the General Assembly Of Mary
land shall be in session, and to pro-
vide for the submission Of said amend
ment to the qualified voters of the
State Of Maryland for adoption or
rejection" should meet with. popular
approval.
The objects Of the hill, as set forth
by Mr.. Harrison are as follows: First,
Saving of money to taxpayers; Sec
ond, Saving of time to members OF
the General Assembly; Third, For the
purpose Of getting more efficiency as
the members would be more likely to
spend their time at Annapolis and
give more time to committee work
and centralize their thoughts in leg
islation for the best interests of their
constituents.
There are many states which con-
fine their Legislative Assemblies to a
shorter period than ninety days and
still find time to complete all law
making for the commonwealth. By re-
ports coming from Annapolis, many
days have elapsed with no more than
Is or 20 minutes spent in regular ses-
sions. Of course the members are oc-
cupied with committee work, but as
set forth in the Harrison bill with a
60-day session, the committeeman
would be more expeditions and accom-
plish more in given time.
1t is to be hoped the bill may re-
ceive favorable action
