commercial trucks in the state such
as taxicabs, both passenger and
freight stages and transfer trucks,
will bear white license plate with.
red letters on it instead of regulation

Transformers associations and the.
Arizona Motor Transport association
to eliminate the operation of outlaw
stages. and other vehicles operated for
compensation.

ordered by Secretary of State Kerby.

the letters "a c. c." and on the right
the date 1926" The body of the
plate will bear county number In
which the operator lives while the
rest Of the numerals will be the. regis
ter number of his car under thes new
system to put into vogue.

pensation by the corporation coi11mis-
sion and plates will be issued only to

MARKET REPORT /,
e4@%*%%*4%~%%A4Ne

ruled higher today than last weeksr
Kansas City, Dec. 2S.-Practically
all classes of livestock ruled higher
today than last weeks close, and in
most cases materially higher than a
week ago. The country at large is
turning from poultry diet to other
meats and beef is leading in the
change. Fat cattle were quoted strong
Ito 25 cents higher; calves were so
cents up and stockers and feeders
strong. Hogs advanced 25 cents and
are go to rs cents higher than week
ago. The S12 price has been returned
to quotations. Sheep and lambs We're
quoted 25 to 40 cents up.
Today's Receipts
Receipts today were 5000 cattle,
1000 hogs and 5000 sheep, compared
with 1900 cattle, 1000 hogs and
5000 sheep week ago, and 1880
cattle, $3.50 hogs and 9225' sheep
year ago.
Beef Cattle
Fat steers were strong to 25 cents
higher than last weeks close and a
full half dollar higher than a week
ago. Choice heavy steers sold at $11
and handy and light weights up to
S1O.50. The bulk of the fat steers
brought $3.50 to SIG. Chicago had
another liberal supply Of fat steers
and the market there remained rather
dull Chicago's trade territory is
well supplied with cattle on feed and
shipments from western markets ter
ritory that 80 east only tend to
weaken Chicago and all the other mar
kets. Cows and heifers were in active
demand at IS to 20 cents higher
prices. This advance took quotations
to the highest position of the sea-
son, and indications are that demand
will remain urgent Veal calves were
so cents higher. Numerous sales
were made at .S10.50 and odd lots at
'S11. Bulls were stronger.
Stockers and Feeders
In some cases stockers and feeders
with choice quality were quotedF1 Is to
25 cents higher Medium to kood
kinds We're steady and plain and or
dina1y kinds sold slowly The good.
to choice kinds in practically all
weights brought $3.50 to $3.50. Re
ceipts were moderate.
Sheep and Lambs
Sheep and lambs were quoted 25 to
40 cents higher than last weeks close

DISAPPEARS;
BELIEVE TO BE SLAIN

The unrest of neighbors, who have
not seen Tom Glasgow since Friday
afternoon, led to a search on the part
Of several deputy sheriffs for the man
or his body and the arrest Sunday of
Charles Wagner, who is being held on
suspicion and for investigation.
Glasgow, who is a prospector Of
the Bumblebee district, was arrested
about two weeks ago on charge filed
by Wagner, who claimed the prospec-
tor Mad jumped his claims. The case
was heard before Justice of the Peace
Harris of Canon and dismissed but
bad blood is said to have developed
between the two men as result.
On Christmas eve and again on
Christmas day, in the afternoon, Glas-
gov is said to have visited. .,neighbors,
who lived across the road froms his
cabin near Bumblebees. and, according
to them, made no mention of leaving
the country even for few hours He
has not been seen since that time,
however.
Saturday morning, they reported to
Deputy Sheriff Ryan Of Mayer, Wag-
ner was seen to drive to Glasgow's
cabin and to begin loading his effects
into a car. When the deputy tele-
phoned the report to Prescott, several
men from the local office were sent
to the neighborhood but failed, after
hours Of searching, to find any trace
Of Glasgow, who, it is feared, has met
with foul play.
Wagner, who was coming out of
the missing mans cabin when the of
ficers arrived, was arrested.

CASHION, WELL
KNOWN. PIONEER, DEAD

James Cashion, prominent in devel-
opment work in central and southern
Arizona, was killed Thursday morn
ing in an automobile accident near
ella Bend, according to messages re-
ceived by friends.
Angus Cashion, railroad builder Of
the west, southwest and Mexico for
nearly 40 years, and resident of
Phoenix for 25 years, died 20 minutes
after having been crushed under his
car when it overturned a mile west
of Gila Bend shortly before noon
Thursday.
The accident occurred when Mr..
Cashion, enroute to his home in Phoe-
nix for Christmas, swerved his large
automobile into sandbank bordering
the road to avoid striking a smaller
car approaching from the opposite di-
rectionf The sand jerked the car out
of control and caused it to overturn
in ditch with Mr. Casf1ion under
meath it.
Passersby quickly pulled him from
underneath the car. He was still
conscious, although apparently in
jured mortally. He attempted to lift
his left arm, and failed.
81 guess the arms broken" he is
quoted as saying. you'd better take
me TO doctor, but you can't take me
in that car" he continued, indicating
his own automobile.
"We1l take you to doctor in this
car" replied someone in the crowd,
indicating another which had drawn
up.
"I1l be dead before l get there,
Mr.. Cashion replied. They were his
last words, and they proved correct.
He was rushed to the Southern Pa
cific hospital at Giia Bend, where he
was examined by Dir. l.. n. Roberts,
who pronounced Mr.. Cashion dead.
His injuries included a crushed skull,
broken neck, crushed arm, broken
ribs and internal injuries.
Cashion was heavily interested in
various business enterprises, and at
one time was associated with +. A.
Reid, president of the Salt River Val
ley Water Users association, in the.
Reid-Cashion company. He was the
founder of the town of Cashion in
Maricopa county more than ten years
ago, and his work as aecontractor had
taken him into every section of the
state

ARIZONA HELPS GREATLY
TO FILL U. 5. PRISONS

Washington.-Th American people
are showing increased ability in the
way of keeping out of prisons, it was
indicated today in census figures on
the prison population of the nation.
Covering estimates as of January l.,
1923, the latest date on which the
facts were obtainable the bureau
placed the number in prisons at 109,
619 as against Ill ,498 on January J.,
1910
This would indicate an imprison-
ment rate Of 99.7 per 100000 popula-
tion for 1923, whereas in 1910, the
rate was 1912 per 100000. The bu
reau warned however, that the fig
ures should not be considered as
exact in revealing the relative pre-
valence of crime in general. Nor of
specific offenses," because the rise of
the probation system, the leniency in
treating juvenile delinquency, and
other changes had operated to alter
the Imprisonment results Of court ac-
ton.
The male sex has shown an over
whelming proportion of responsibility
in crime On January l, 95.2 per
cent of all prisoners in penal insti-
tutions were men, and only 5192 or
4.8 per cent were women.
The figures up to January i, 1923
did not change materially. the pro-
portions between men and women
prisoners as compared with 1910, but
additional figures indicate an increase
Of criininality during the first six
months Of 1928 when 153,016 men
were committed as against 13,340
women.
Persons between 25 and 81 years of
age made up the largest group Of the
prison population, 34.2 per cent being
in this category. Native white per-
sons constituted 53.4 per cent of the.
prison population, foreign born whites
1873 per cent and the negro popula-
tion 31.3 per cent.
Considering geographical distribu-
tion the western mountain district Of
the country showed a commitment
rate of 47.3 per 100000 population
during 1923 while the west south cen
tral division had 44.2. The Pacific
division 43.1; middle Atlantic division
20.5 and New England 21.
Considering the number actually in
prison on January /, 1928, New Hamp-
shire record appeared to be the low
est, with 54.6 persons confined to each
100000 population. Nevada in the
mountain country was at the other
end of the list having 353 persons to
each 100000 population in prison,
while the next closest was Arizona
with 1856.

STATE. REPEATS IT'S TURN
DOWN OF PARKER BRIDGE

C. A. Hoffman of Los Angeles was
refused a permi by the state of
Arizona to build bridge over the
Colorado river at Parker, it was ana
nounced recently by w. C. Lefebvre,
state engineer. The application for
a permit to erect the bridge was
made to the highway department sew
eral days ago.
Hoffman asked for a state permit
to erect the bridge at Parker and
also asked to build one at Ehrenberg.
He was refused on the grounds that
the matter was strictly county one
and that the authority to construct a
bridge should come from Yuma coun-
ty. The attorney general had pre-
viously held in another application
that the county alone had the au-
thority to grant such permit.
