HIGH SCHOOL PLAY POSTPONED

Flagstaff high school has beer
forced on account of the flu and
measles epidemic, to postpone the
program advertised for February 81
The three one-act plays, music and
dance numbers will be staged on
March 20 instead. Attempts were
made to re-cast the plays several
times, but the continued illness has
made it seem wise to hold up activi-
ties of this sort until better health
conditions prevail.
Everyone is urged to save this date
of March 20 and the high school prom
ises to furnish most worthwhile en-
tertainment then. Work has been go
ing on for many weeks and will con-
tinue until that time.
Any tickets which have been sold
may be refunded or held until the
later date. Those in charge regret
that the postponement has been neces-
sary, and hope the public will under
stand and support the program later
on.

HOUSE COMMITTEE WILL
NOT REMIT GRAZING FEES

A telegram from Hon. Carl Hayden
yesterday morning stated that the
house agricultural committee had
founds SO much opposition to the Pipps'
bill to reduce the forest grazing fees
that it evidently will not be considered
this session.
The committee vas also unwilling to
report out the senate joint resolution
directing that all grazing fees be
waived this year. Congressman Hay
den, however, stated that the commit
tee might be persuaded to favor a
resolution that the secretary of agri-
culture be authorized to waive any or
all forest reserve grazing fees in 1925
in drought stricken regions.
The bill to waive the 1925 fees orig
mated lin the senate and passed that
body and it was hoped that the house
would grant this relief to the stock
men of the country, but it appears
that the lower house does not realize
the condition of the western stockmen
at this time.S However, the action as
proposed by Representative Hayden
will bring some relief to the drought
stricken sections.

and the retention of 1747 loads on a
standard load list which became effec-
division of simplified practice, depart
ment of commerce, as result of the
joint action of loading companies and
powder companies.
"The loading companies said that
the 1920 loads eliminated represented
but five per cent of total sales. When
stocks on hand January / are ex-
hausted, these will be supplied only as
special loads.
"The eliminations, it was declared
by manufacturers and hardware rep
resentatives among the distributors,
will be of great benefit to the distribu-
tors without impairing the range of
selection for the sportsman. On be-
half of the loading companies it was
declared that reductions in warehous-
ing space would be brought about by
the new lists and that service to the
sportsman could be improved"
"A quartette composed of Mr.. and
Mrs. T. o. Bellwood, Miss Selma Aas
and c. F. Deaver with Miss Elsa
Myers at the piano enlivened the
meeting by splendid selection, which,
in fact, was so well received that they
were forced to play a return engage
ment.
A poll of those present was taken
to see how many were planning on at
tending the district conference at
Phoenix on March Is, Is and IT,.
About ten members of the Flagstaff
club expect to go and this number will
probably be increased when those abb
sent were interviewed.
In short talk Royal r. Sibley,
president of the Motorway Tours COM
pany, of New York, outlined in an in
teresting manner the plans and pro-
gram Of his company for the coming
year. A more extended mention of
this matter is made in another column
of The Sun.
Mr.. Switzer read a paper entitled
"Your Waste Basket an Argosy," in
which he brought out the fact that the
basket enough good ideas, which, if
put into practice, would make him
independent for life.
Acting President Koch announced
that the club had given $50 toward
the hospital and medical expenses in
the case Of Anna Kunzelman.
The splendid lunch of the day was
prepared and served by Mrs. Carl
Dickinson chairman, Mrs. NJ. G. From

"Of course she will say am the
man." was McDaniels' only reply.
The Pennsylvania officers visited
the two alleged former wives of Nc
Daniels in Pineville, Mrs. Howard and
Mrs Cordie Barton McDaniels, They
were shown photograph of McDan-
iels and the latter, according to Sheriff
Downs, expressed the opinion that
the picture looked like him, but she
declared that she would not want to
see him punished, if he was not the
right man. Mrs. Howard, the sheriff
said, was not certain. She is alleged
to have declared that when she knew
him he had full head of dark hair,
and the picture represents him as be-
ing somewhat bald. Of course, this
condition could exist, as hair could
have fallen out with the lapse of
years.
According to the local authorities,

morning, cut mole off his neck, pre-

| Just why the Denver authorities did
not send man here to identify Nc
| Daniels, if they were certain that he
is the Denver murderer, Sheriff
Downs cannot understand, except upon
the hypothesis that they had no funds
at their disposal to pay the. expense,
while the state of Pennsylvania would
defray the necessary expense, and
they knew that if he was the man
wanted the Pennsylvania officers
would identify him and would prob
ably turn him over to them when they
had finished with him.
Sheriff Downs announces that he
will write to the Denver authorities
and claim the reward of $4,000 which
has been offered for the apprehension
of the fugitive. If they collect it, it

if and the deputies who effected the
arrest, and their friends hope that
they will be successful in doing so.

ced that after McDaniels, alias VIII
son, was committed to the peniten-
tiary, his Pittsburgh wife left the city
and went to Denver, Colo, where he
charged she kept company with am
other man. When he effected his es-
cape he went to Denver, where he is
alleged to have killed this man. He
escaped and had never been appre-
hended, until his arrest here on the
charge of wife desertion. The Penn
sylvaf4ia officers announced there is a
reward Of $4,000, which was offered by
the Denver authorities for the appre-
hension of McDaniels.
The Pennsylvania officers came
armed with extradition papers, having
gone by Baton Rouge, where Governor
Fuqua honored the requisition of the
Pennsylvania chief executive. They
spent the entire day here yesterday
and used every precaution to make a
complete Identification of the fugitive
Which they announced they had done.
They visited the Jail several times
and when they confronted McDaniels,
as was natural, he denied that he was
the fugitive. One of the officers, who
was connected with the Pennsylvania
penitentiary when McDaniels was
there, readily recognized him as the
escaped convict, and remarked to him:
You know that / know you.' He
still persisted in his innocence. When
he was confronted with a photograph
of his Denver wife and children,
Sheriff Downs announced that he was
visibly affected.
The officers said that McDaniels'
mother-in-law lives in Pittsburgh, and
one of them remarked to him: "We

Flagstaff, February 18.
Dear Mr. Hausler:
II am pleased to have the informa-
ton in your good letter of the 18th
instant, regarding progress being
made in aviation matters and estab-
fishing Flagstaff as a landing field on
the proposed Los Angeles New York
route. This will be fine. It's surpris-
ing how rapidly these things develop
once they get started right. For the
past two days I have been going over
with some Santa Fe officials and
Roger Birdseye some of the things
about the country here. Birdseye is d
cousin of Roger Birdseye who was in
charge of the Colorado river expedi-
ton. Birdseye has been located here
for two or three years and | think is
one of the most capable writer's we
have. He is splendid man and ]
hope we can keep him. here as he
knows the country thoroughly and
can describe it better than anyone else
that has been trying to do so. We
were discussing the proposed Lee Fer
ry bridge and Glen canyon near by
and the desirability of establishing a
motor road from here to Lee Ferry
when the bridge is erected, and then
putting on motor boat from Lee
Ferry. ranch to make the trip to Rain
bow bridge. The river is clear all the
way with very slight fall and it
would make one of the most thrilling
trips in the world. This, of course,
would be somewhat different from
seeing these points up in the air but
both trips are going through.
Sunday | was down to Cameron
bridge on the Little Colorado and off
to the new petrified forest discovered
near there and the wonderful sight
one gets in that part of the desert is
beyond description and ought to and
doubtless will attract many neople
when we can take them over and back
in one day.
"The name you mention. Roy
Knabenshue, used to be very familiar
around Flagstaff years ago. | think
either this man or his brother was
with us many years ago. | understand
he is one of the foremost men in the
air game and l would think you would
be in luck if you could hitch up with
him. Don't pay too much attention
to their boosting the Boulder canyon
dam as against the more importan.
point of Glen canyon at Lee Ferry and
up the river to Rainbow bridge and
back across the desert to this point.
Il hope get to see you here again
before | get off to Europe about the
first week in March and | will hand
these clippings and this correspond
ence to Mr.. Mackey as you suggest.
think hereafter it might be better to
handle these matters directly through
DR. Mackey, president of the Junior
Chamber of Commerce, which organi-
zation is now functioning and will be
active and aggressive in such matters,
and Of course all Of US will be glad to
get behind any movement of this kind
this and other local organiza-
tions."

INJURY
To TRUCK DRIVER
RESULT ACCIDENT

William Johnson of Middle street.
Hallowell, driver for the Standard
Oil Co., was painfully injured be-
tween 4 and o'clock Thursday af-
ternoon, when a large tire on the
truck which he was driving, blew out
and drove a heavy iron ring against
his head. The force of the blow was
such that he was thrown several
feet and a cash about two and
half inches long was cut in his fore
head. He was taken to the home of
Harry Pierpont on Bangor street,
near where the accident occurred and
a doctor was called, who took several
stitches to close the wound. john
son was then taken to his home.
The peculiar accident occurred
when Johnson got out to investigate
the cause of loose tire, which some
one had reported to him. Johnson
found 1t quite loose and taking a
heavy hammer he struck the lock
ring of the rim two or three blows.
Suddenly the tire exploded with a
loud report and blew the ring
against him. A passerby helped him
to his feet and into the Pierpont
home. Johnson suffered several
bruises and decorations beside the Sc
we're cut to his head but the attend :
ing physician declared last night
that he did not expect any serious re-
suits from his injuries. He Will be
unable to work for several days.

Railroads New
Bus SamOset
Visits in City

Resplendent in it's coat of blue,
rivalling the summer. sky, trim in
cleaning nickel fixtures and SOFT
gray leather upholstery, The Samo-
set, property of the Maine Central
Railroad, a 30-passenger motor bus,
which the company wants to use be-
tween Portland and Harrison, was
seen and admired in the city, yester-
day forenoon. Chauffeur Perley b.
Sanborn of Portland, who by the way
was a conductor for the NJ. c. r. X.
since 1906, drove the car through
yesterday morning in about two
hours, making good time because he
drove early and traffic was light.
AT the Augusta station, officials
of the Maine Central were taken in
and conveyed to the State House,
where hearing was in order before
the Public Utilities commission, rela-
tive to the bus service. The party
included General Manager ID, I.
Douglas, Assistant to the General
Manager, F. o. Wood. General Pass
enger Agent NJ. l.. Harris and Chief
Counsel Edward B. Wheeler.
The Samoset arrived in Portland
from Ohio, week ago Wednesday.
1t is a Fageol type and is seven
feet across from hub to hub. meas
uring a good eight feet in all. Cen
eral Cord tires are used, 36x6 SIS,
with double tires on the rear wheels.
The capacity of the coach Is regis
tered at 20 passengers and the driv-
er, although there is room for the
placing of extra chairs. 1t develops
100 horsepower. The cost is around
$4,000. The cushions used through
out the bus are of air type and very
comfortable to ride upon. The car
is painted a sky blue with grey
Daily Kennebec journal., 1925-07-10

leather trimmings and presents
very neat appearance.
"People stare so at the car, Wnen
they first see it, that sometimes tney
forget that they are driving. But
thew will soon get used to 1t. l nave
been with the Maine Central Kali
road since 1906, formerly a conduc-
tor. / guess they pulled me on that
Job and put be here because / am
familiar with the road, between
Portland and Harrison, a distance OF
AZ miles" were the words of Driver
Sanborn as he answered the count
less questions put to him, while
parked at the railroad station wait
ing for the train from Portland.
The bus is just like a new BABY
in the family, because as the TWO
morning trains, eastbound and west
bound, which pulled in, while the
Samoset was there, trainmen, 1nclud-
ing engineers, conductors. porters,
newsboys and all of them, hoped off
and went over to inspect the bright
and shining new arrival.
When the Portland men arrived
the bus was started along its course,
under the careful guidance of Driver
Sanborn. The trip to the State
House was also made by Station
Agent Pearl Fuller in company with
the Portland party. The bus wound
it's way skillfully in and around the
station yard, up the hill and down
Grove street.
The advent of the motor bus, spon-
sored by the railroad, reflects most
clearly the trend of the times. 1t
shows that competition in transpor-
tation is a keen one and that per-
haps similar methods are needed in
the upkeep of this long established
public utility.
