Arrow Kills Deer

San Franisco-Miss Virgian Ayres of San Francisco killed an Ameri- can deer with an arrow for the first time such feat has been per formed since the Indians forsook the bow. She sighted the deer near Cloverdale and killed it with steel-headed arrow shot from a 52-pound bow-nearly double the strength of the ordinary woman's target weapon.

SANITARY CONDITION
OF TOWN IMPROVED
BY CLEANUP WEEK

Winslow is in a cleaner and in a
more sanitary condition than it has
ever been as result of the whole
hearted response and cooperation OF
the citizens with the town officials
and the Boy Scouts in the observance
of cleanup week. The city authori-
ties are especially gratified with the
commendable spirit shown on the part
of the people in cleaning their pro-
perty.
More trash and rubbish have been
hauled to the dumping grounds dur
ing the past week than has ever been
disposed of in previous clean-ups,
the number of wagon loads, although
not ascertainable, far exceeding that
of former years.
A force of wagons has also been
kept busy this week hauling the
debris from the city.
The success of cleanup week is
in no small way due to the efforts
and work of the Boy Scouts who
volunteered to help the citizens and
the town officials. The service rem
dered by the Scouts was most
worthy one and is deserving of the
consideration and the praise of Win
slow people. The city was divided
into four districts, each in charge of a
patrol, as follows: From Hicks ave
nue. west, including Kleindienst ad-
dition-William Ward, Patrol leader,
Dayton Shields, Frederick Gillard,

AUTOMOBILE CLUB ISSUES
old TRAILS HIGHWAY BOOK

Covering in detail every foot of
the 3,215 miles from New York to
Los Angeles by way of the National
Old Trails Route, the Automobile
Club of Southern California has just
completed a book of 1877 pages under
the title National Old Trails Road.
This has been compiled to answer
all of the thousands of inquiries that
come to the organization from moto-
rists contemplating the transconti-
mental trip over this particular high
way.
Sixty-nine strip maps are used ON
which, in addition to the highway,
are marked the garages, hotels, filling
stations, auto parks, mileage and
other information desired by the tour
list. Opposite each of these maps is
a description of the road traversed,
with notes on the history, legendry
and romance of the contiguous ter
ritory.
Transcontinental motoring to Cali

increase annually for the past four
years, so the new volume was pre-

JUNIOR CLASS PLAY
is PARKING PIECE

Witty and clever satire, fascinating
complications and lightning romance
are some of the good things to be
said about "The Charm School" which
will be presented at the Washington
by the junior class of Winslow High
The Charm School,, a most de-
lightful comedy written by two popu-
lar playwrights, Alice Duer Miller
and Robert Milton, has been very
favorably received wherever it has
been produced The cast of the play
was selected with much care, and
the members have been rehearsing
diligently for the comedy. which
lends itself to high school produc-
tion assuring an excellent presenta-
ton. Miss Helen Willis is directing
the piece assisted by Mrs. Grady
Gammage.
The plot revolves around Austin
Bevans, young automobile salesman,
who suddenly finds himself owner of
the Fairview school for girls-an in
stitution making speciality of college
examinations and mortgaged beyond
its value. Austin who believes that
girls should be taught charm above
all else, has difficulty in persuading
Homer Johns, the irate financier who
holds the mortgages, not to fore
close but to permit him to run the
school according to his own ideas. Mr.
Johns at last agrees under two con-
dition, the important one being that
no pupil is to fall in love with Austin
who complacently guarantees that will
not happen In order to avoid being
insistent in this theory that men can
best teach girls charm, he is forced
to place his friends in positions of
authority.

WILLIAM GROCER RESIGNS
FROM SUPERVISING BOARD

w. ]. Grocer, who received a
leave of absence several weeks ago
from the board of county super
visors to visit his family at Berkley,
California, rendered his resignation
as supervisor to that body last Fri
day. The board accepted his re-
signation at its regular meeting
Monday.
Appointment of a successor was to
have been made this week, but owing
to the fact that Mr., Lucretia w
Flanningan, county recorder, was un-
able to be present at the monthly
session, the naming of a supervisor
was deferred, and will probably not
take place until the next regular
meeting.
Mr.. Crozer's resignation is a real
loss to the people of the community.
The former supervisor was faithful
to his office, performing his duties
in a most creditable manner. 1t can
be truly said that he realized his res
possibility and did everything that
he could to improve the conditions of
Navajo county. Mr.. Grocer resigned
on account of the health of his wife,
who is unable to live in this climate.

GRAND Oldham
OF STATE DIES
in WASHINGTON

Marcus Aurelius Smith, known as
Grand Old Man of Arizona and
former United States Senator, died
in Washington Monday, his health in
a precarious condition for a number
of years.
Hon. Marcus A. Smith served many
years as territorial delegate in con-
gress for Arizona, and when state
hood was attained he was elected to
| the United States senate. He was
born near Syanthiana, Ky, January
ia, 1852, was graduated at Transyl-
vania college, Lexington. Soon after
his admission to the bar in his native
state, he came to Arizona, and in
1881 began the practice of law at
Tombstone, then lively mining
camp
He was elected Cochise county at
torney in 1882, and in 1886 he was
chosen as the territorial delegate to
congress. With two intervals of four
years each, he was continually in
congress until 1921, when he was
defeated for reelection to the senate
by Ralph H. Cameron, who once be-
fore had defeated him, when Cameron
went as delegate to congress.
Mark Smith was one of the most
Influential senators when he left the
upper house, and one prominent SEN
ator attributed it to the fact that
/ in all his "long career Smith never
/ betrayed confidence nor asked for
and unreasonable consideration.
When he was defeated for the
senate, President Wilson appointed
him to the International Joint COM
mission, position he held at his
death
Mark Smith was the man who
| framed the bill whereby Arizona
was admitted into the union. A
national administration plan to link
Arizona and N. Mex. in this under
taking and enter them as a single
state, was stoutly opposed by Mr..
Smith, and he won his fight when
the question was submitted to the
IvoterS IF the two territories.
His fight for Arizona's state
hood was long drawn out and Wig
orously prosecuted In each ses-
he introduced his statehood bill, and
ing his measure passed by the house
! OI representatives, OHly 10 nave IL
rejected by the senate. Due to his
ability as lawyer he was often cal
led back from Washington to Arizona
to appear in notable civil and Grim
inal cases.
Smiths first tenure as a senator
was for the short term. In 1914 he
was elected for the full term of 1921.
Notable among his activities in con-
gress was his fight for the measures
to reclaim arid lands. He took big
part in inaugurating the campaign
to reclaim these lands for cultivation
all over the union. and assisted in
drafting the first bill in congress for
the conduct of this work
Because of his self-made promi-
nence he was the target for much
satire as well as commendation. In
the later years of his congressional
activity he eschewed many offers to
appear in private practice in his
home state. and confined himself to
congressional work. He was Mason
and an Elk. His home was Tucson.

LOCAL FIGHTER WINS
BOUT IN BOXING CARD

Owing to the poor support accorded
the boxing card scheduled at the
Opera House Monday night some OF
the various matches were staged as
exhibition bouts rather than as finish
ed fights. 1t was expected that the
usual large crowd which has attended
the boxing cards in the past would
support the one Monday evening, but
other entertainments coming at the
same time reduced the attendance to
such an extent that the fights could
hardly have been staged as scheduled.
Undoubtedly the best exhibition
bout of the evening was that between
Sailor Riley of Washington and j.. l..
Garduno. The former was no match
for the local boy who toyed with
his opponent during the first two
rounds, knocking him out in the. third
with a right uppercut to the stomach
after the sailor lad had landed a
stiff body blow, inflaming Garduno
to use his hand despite the fact that
it was broken
The bout between Kid Julien of
Denver and George Keyes of Omaha
ended in the second round when the
latter struck the Colorado boys
thumb, breaking it. Both of these
contestants played safe during the
first round but opened up in the
second and displayed some good work.
The match would have probably been
a good one if it had lasted longer.
Keyes was the more skllful boxer

LEGION CELEBRATION
WILL BE BIG AFFAIR

Plans of the Frank Perkins post of
the American Legion for its big
Fourth of July celebration which viii
be chock full of snappy and knock
out events, are materializing in great
fashion, the committee in charge of
the affair headed by r. NJ. Pincetl
having already arranged for number
of excellent attractions.
The post has set out to give the
largest and the best celebration that
has ever been put on here, and Judging
from the preparations that are being
made it will be all this and more
1t will be monster affair. The Le-
gion believes that Winslow should
have an annual celebration on the
Fourth, affording the people an op-
portunity to enjoy the day here
rather than making it necessary tc
go elsewhere for diversion.
Among the attractions which have
already been arranged are: cowboys
novelty and relay races; bucking
broncho rising; Navajo chicken pull
Indian horseback and foot races
broncho races; chuck wagon race
exhibition drill of Boy Scouts, {
prize fight and dance in the eve
ming at the West End pavilion.
Members of the committee are ne
gotiating to bring either the 25tl
infantry band Of Nogales or the In
dian school band of Phoenix here fol
the celebration.

Holbrook's Rotary Club
Leads World in February

Holbrook holds the world record of
Rotary clubs for February with a
100 percent attendance for the five
meetings during the month, accord
ing to the report of the International
Rotary A number of clubs had four
100 percent sessions, but Holbrook led
the world with five.
Since it will be 28 years until there
will be five Fridays in February on
account of leap year, Holbrook will
hold it's record for that length of
time.
The record made by the Oil City is
a most enviable one, and should be
an incentive for the local club in its
attempt to make a 100-percent month.

FRAUD IN STATE HIGHWAY DEPARTMENT
is CHARGED IN REPORT OF COMMITTEE

Findings of fraud and peculation in
two funds of the State Highway De-
partment during the eighteen months
ending with December 81, 1922, and
recommendations that procedure
forthwith be undertaken to bring the
guilty parties to justice;" evidence
that records of the Department were
destroyed in the period intervening
between the general election of 1922
and January /, 1923, which closed
the door to a clear investigation of
expenditures; proofs of the disap-
pearance from the department of III
motor vehicles, mostly trucks turned
over to the state by the Federal
Government, and various other de-
tailed charges of extravaganza, ire
gularity and unauthorized expendi-
lures of money are set forth in the
report of the joint committee of the
Senate and House, created at the last
Legislative session, which was placed
in the hands of the Governor.
In suggesting responsibility for the
state of affairs found to have existed
in the Department, the report gives
an exhaustive analysis of the two
funds wherein the Irregularities are
pointed out, the estate Engineer
H. Allen" bank account and the
general inprest fund In summing
up the inconsistencies the investiga-
tors disclosed, the report states that
the conclusion is irresistible and
beyond reasonable doubt that j. H
Allen and w. H. Inghram" former
Cashier of the Department "are cri-
minally and civilly responsible and
liable upon the several items" given
in specific detail "and that the State
Engineer" in office during the period
'is responsible for the conduct OF
such subordinates" and that che is
liable at least civilly to the state
and upon his bond for the misuse
Of such state moneys.
The Committee, while it's conclu-
sions chiefly are based upon dis
closures for the year and a half prior
to January /, 1923, censures the ad-
ministration of the Department since
that time for failure to make use
of the accounting system placed at
+ its disposal by the auditors employed
by the committee, and for retaining
methods of Bookkeeping that make
auditing almost impossible and invite
dishonesty. The report shows that
in the total of 1873 motor vehicles
known to be missing, four were re
ceived by the Department since
January 1, 1923.
TIE report is voluminous and in
explaining the faults uncovered is
specific; no attempts at intimations
are made. The obvious decision tc
let the. facts as brought out speak
/ for themselves seems apparent in al
the instances cited. It was prepared
by Smart, Gore & Company of Chi
cago, referred to as zone of the lead,
ing accoutant firms of the Unitee
States. Mr. Gore was formerly
president of the National Association
! of Certified Public Accounptants. The
firm was employed, according to the
report. in pursuance of the advice OF
the w. H. Plunkett Company, Inc.
of Phoenix, which emphasized two
reasons for going outside of the stats

lities to undertake a task of such
dimensions, and (2), because the en-
ployment of company operating
within the State might have led in
terested persons to impute personal,
political or other improper motives
and prejudice to the audit.
The report itself is an impartial
recital of conditions as found by the
auditors. with all assertions substan-
tiated by figures, but the Committee
in submitting it to the Governor at
tached to it a supplement which out
lined in a less exhaustive way the
various items included in the larger
document, together with explanations
and recommendations In the supple
ment, emphasis is given to the follow
ing items:
1) That the State Highway De
partment in the five and one-half
years preceding December 81, 1922,
expended the sum of 81, 1923, ,574.92,
of which total of $156,877.28 was
spent in bookkeeping. 1t was found
that, in spite of this outlay for keep
ing books, the books were in such a
chaotic condition that they did not
reflect tlas. true condition of the De-
partmentss
(2) That the following documents
were missing, and no one connected
with the Department could give in
formation as to where they could be
found:
a. Highway Department invoices
from July /, 1917, to February
/, 1921.
b. Certain Camp construction re-
cords, field payrolls, cancelled
checks and time books.
Certain correspondence relative
to the purchase of equipment
and to the operation of the

had been transactions aggre-

e. Checks, books, files, and all re-
cords of the imprest cash fund,
