TUCSON'S DEFUNCT
BANK CARRIED NICE
RAINY DAY ACCOUNT

TUSCON,. Oct 16. = up = The Tucson
National bank, now defunct, carried a
"rainy day" account large enough at
times to buy many umbrellas and down
low enough or overdrawn at other
times so that it showed only in red,
according to testimony given today at
the trial of Webster H. Land and Byrd
Brooks in United States district court.
J. e. Woods, former cashier of the
Tucson National now manager of a
grocery store in a California city, told
the Jury all about it when a ledger
sheet showing the individual account
of "R. Day. was introduced by Will
liam H. Campbell, special United States
prosecutor
"Who is this r. Day?" asked Camp
bell, after Woods had identified the
ledger.
"A Fictitious character answered
Woods. 1T stood for Rainy Day
Subsequent examinations of Woods
developed that the "R. Day" account
started on or about July Is, 1922. with
a check for $3.50 payable to the Tucson
National bank by the Peoples Finance
and Thrift company as the final pay
ment on office fixtures purchased from
the bank by the concern. From that
time on deposits were made in the
usual way from time to time an6
checks drawn against the account as
though "R. Day" was a bank customer

the signature "R. Day by w. II. Land

QUEEN MARIE OF RUMANIA NOT PERTURBED BY
VARIOUS UNOFFICIAL REPORTS REGARDING The
ARRANGEMENTS FOR HER TOUR OF THIS NATION

& s. LEVIATHAN, Oct 16 Pl-
Queen Marie of Rumania is not per-
turbed in the least by the various
over arrangements for her
tour and reported changes in her
itinerary made by various unoffocial
persons who are supposed to be- di-
recting the queens movements, and
indications are that .Rumania's
strong woman" will do exactly what
she desires after landing in New
York.
The belief is held by those close
to the queen that every one who IS
thrown into contact with her will
fall in line with her plans gladly
under the charm of her beauty and
personality.
The queen passed much of her time
today sitting in the sun on the
promenade deck, serenly crocheting q
cap to hold her shingled hair in
place. She lunched in the public
dining room, Mrs. Gloria Vanderbilt
being at Captain Hartley s table with
the royal party.
At 6 o'clock in the evening there
was private concert in the winter
garden at which Pavil Ludikar,
Czech baritone of the Metropolitan
opera, sang, the newspaper corre-
spondents being the queens guests
Marie expressed regret that the
Leviathan's voyage was drawing to a
close, as she said she had enjoyed
every minute of it and would like
to return on the ship, We're the Le-
viathan sailing about December 90

Gay nlgnC.
After acknowledging the spontane-
Gus burst of applause which greeted
his appearance on the platform, Sena-
tor Cameron plunged at once into his
outline of the continued fight which he
hopes to be able to make in the inter
est of the people w.iom he has so COM
petently and untiringly served during
his six years service in the United
States senate.
There was a time Cameron con-
tinued when Arizona was a veritable
beehive of mining activity In nearly
every section of the state mines were
producing and on a paying basis. To
grubstake prospector was a general
practice - I've done it myself, many
times, and / see some among you whom
know to have done the same thing.
1t was not considered, so much in the
light of a risk or a gamble as it was
in the light of an investment.
why do we not see the same ac-
tivity today, the same hustle and bus
tie and prosperity, and why does
prospeetor get only laugh when he
seeks "a grubstalxe? Because they

tion of All adequate tariff.
To-day only a very small number
of real copper mines are in operation
and even these cannot survive many
more years struggle under the present
conditions. l have made the declara-
tion before, and | make it now again
unless we can secure at once tariff
on copper, the bats will be flying
through the buildings of all the copper
cities OF America.
This is not an idle threat-it is the
grim reality, backed by statistics with
which YOU are all familiar; Every year
sees the shutting down of good cop
per properties, simply because the pro-
ducers cannot. attempt continued COM
petition with the .gee-string' produced
copper Of South America and Africa
who is it that is fighting the tar
! iff? I'll tell you. It's a group of
uals who own the properties in South
but a few cents per day. AS long as
the filthy lucre is within so easy a
grasp little do they care for the ruin
that is being wrought in their own

Little do they care that mines are
| shutting down, that miners are out of
work or are forced to work for an un-
| just compensation. little do they care
/, that Arizona is on the brink of finan-
cial ruin.
Not long ago. after my first hur-
ried trip through the state, representa-
tives of those sinister forces which are

II Help for Two valleys
Continued rounds of applause re-
sounded throughout tne theatre at this
point and it was some little time be-
fore the senator could continue
."On the occasion of my last visit
here a few weeks ago, made another
promise regarding two valleys, the San
Simon and the sulphur Springs valleys.
Many many times in the past have I
pondered over the problems of these
valleys. Potential wealth in fabulous
amounts lies in these vast agricultural
areas, awaiting only the magic touch
of one thing--water.
I'm 1908 1 worked out extensive
plans for these districts sand figured
tion purposes. However, after care
full consideration, was forced to the
conclusion that suoa reservoirs would
be useless without a dependable source
OF supply and, because of the light rain
and snowfall in the districts it be-
came obvious to me that such plan
would be impracticable.
i'The hope, however, of developing
the valleys is not futile. Far from it.
Exhaustive Investigations reveal that
literal underground sea of good
water lies at shallow depths beneath
the floors of these valleys. All that
is needed is cheap electrical current by
means of which to pump. l can and
win get an adequate federal appropria-
tion with which to build central
power plant to furnish the farmers
with cheap power.
There may be those who will scout

propriation The United States today

The money is easy to get for any just
cause if you only know how to go
about it, Let me remind you of Presi-
dent Coolidge's recent relief measures
for the cotton growers. A fund of
sixty millions was appropriated almost

States Ship Corporation. The
pamphlets, Black said, were sent him
by mail.
Black was preceded as a witness
by Arthur S. Watt, who said he in
terviewed Benjamin w. Morse and
published statements Morse made to
him. One of these statements. watts
said, contained an appraisal of the
United States Steamship Company,
giving its value at $12,5oo,O00.
Special Assistant Attorney General
Sylvester r. Rush, after declaring
the statement Morse made was false,
told the court: This is the first overt
act in the indictment, Your Honor"
Black, who was cashier of customs
for the port of New York, and for
more than 20 years connected with
the customs service, said he had
made purchases of steamship stock
from 1916 to 1920. After receipt of
circular alleged to have been sent out
to holders of the stock by George W.
Wells, one of the defendants. he ex-
changed his United States Steamship
Company stock for stock of the Unit
ed States Ship Corporation. The ex-
change was made on the basis of 5
shares for 4.
Blacks testimony was attacked I'M
der cross examination by counsel for
the defense, who sought to show
that loss of tonnage due to the re-
lentless submarine warfare on ship
ping, and information other than
that contained in the company's
printed matter, persuaded Black in
his stock purchases.
George w. Loft, president Of
George w. Loft. Inc, who followed
Black as a witness, said he had been
for more than a year a director In
the United States Steamship Com
pany. At no time. he said, did he in
vestigate the affairs of the company.
He denied receiving 300 shares of the
company's stock for services in keep
ing the Groton Iron Works at New
London, Conn. out of bankruptcy or
the Virginia Shipbuilding Company
at Alexandria, Va, from receiver
ship.
Under cross examination he relat-
ed that his services for the Morse
enterprises consisted in his endorse
ment of notes which he said might
have totalled more than a million
dollars. He said that he had held
stock In subsidiary companies of the
steamship concern. and these. he
said, had been given for his endorse
ment services.

Brewster Speaker
CONTINUED from PAGE One)

ana the address of the Maine Gov
ernor was well received. His speech
was part of an intensive drive to
win back one Congressional seat
and to hold another doubtful one.
Governor Brewster's address in
part was as follows:
I'm a century and a half America
has painfully evolved the system of
responsible party government as the
only means by which great nation
or one hundred and ten million peo-
pie can give effective expression to
its collective will. In continental
Europe the bloc sytem has produced
a government of negation rather
than construction.
THE menacing head of this bloc
system Is now reared in our coun-
try to undermine the foundation up
on which America has grown great.
Both parties are faced with these
disintergrating influences but the
Republican party has thus far been
able to keep their threat upon the
borders while the Democratic party
Is struck in its very heart with a
seemingly irreconcilable conflict be-
tween two winks of the party repre-
senting widely variant ideals. A
mandate to them to govern means
that America will stand still.
1.-THE Republican party has a
leader who commands the con-
fidence and reflects the ideals and
aspirations of the great mass of his
fellow Americans as perhaps no 9TH
er American in our generation.
The Republican party has a definite
program to which the great majo-
rity of its members render glad al
legiance in legislative halls. The
Republican party stands for respon-
sible party government with all that
is implied. 1t stands prominently
for constructive economy in the con-
duct of governmental affairs. 1t be-
lieves governments should spend less
in order that people may spend
more. 1t remains true to the great
principle of protection SO vital to
the maintenance of American STAN
dards of life.
Finally, it stands for law en-
forcement in the profound conyic-
ton that the Constitution of our
country must stand or fall as a
whole.
THE Democratic party vacillates
between a criticism of the Republi-
can regime as too penurious or too
eXtravagant, according to the wing
with which we deal. 1t falters upon
the verge of the abandonment of
its historic doctrine of free trade,
recognizing the catastrophe which
would follow its application at this
time.
Finally, in its great cosmopolitan
centers of Massachusetts, New York
and Illinois, 1t nurses the viper of
notification and toys once again
with tn vicious doctrine which
ruined the Democratic party in the
last century and nearly ended the
United States.
Thoughtful Americans will con-
slider we'll the meaning of their bal
lot in giving encouragement to the
things for which the Republican or
the Democratic party now stand. 1t
would be a blinded bigot who would
claim all the virtue for one party
and attribute all vice to the oppo-
sition, ut a dispassionate consid-
Grafton of the principles and issues
which the two great parties now re-
present will not leave an American
in doubt as to how wisely he may
resolve his ballot in the interests OF
the economic, the civic, and the
moral welfare of the land we all

Fairfield Boy
Fined for Driving
Without License

Joseph Settler of Fairfield, aged
Is years, appeared before Judge
Charles w. Atchley in the municipal
court yesterday morning on charge
of operating an automobile without
a license.
The boy was driving on College
avenue Wednesday evening when he
was stopped by State Highway Of
ficer Burgess for the purpose of ex-
amining his lights. The boy when
asked if he had an operators license
replied that he had not. His sister,
who was sitting in the back seat,
said she had one, but the officer eX-
planned that it was the rule that the
person holding the license should
sit in the front seat, and should be
teaching the person at the wheel who
had no license how to drive.
William Setter the boys father,
appeared for the lad and entered a
plea of guilty, the judge imposing a
fine of S. and costs of s5.67 or 80
days in Jail. Mr. Settler paid and
the lad was discharged.

Teeth Like
Pearls
BY Edna Wallace Hopper

Ny teeth, as countless women know.
glisten like row of pearls.
This tells you why. l use a new
type tooth paste which combines all
helps in one. The ablest authorities [
consult told me to employ it.
The name is Quindent, meaning FIVE
in one. 1t is made by Quindent Lab
oratories. 1t contains an olive oil
cleanser of the highest order. Two
harmless polishers which beautify the
teeth. Four antiseptics and iodine, to
combat germ attacks on the gums.
NIagnesia and other antacids, to neu.
tralize the acids which cause tooth de-
cay. And breath deodorants.
/ have used all these helps-always.
But | had to use several tooth pastes,
then a mouth wash, then magnesia,
then deodorants. | spent q half-hour
daily on my teeth.
Now Quindent tooth paste combines
all in one. Four great organizations
collaborated on it. 1t typifies the ut
most in a modern dentifrice. The 1G
ingredients do everything required.
Now | use it exclusively, and use moth
ing else, by the ablest advice / can get.
The makers supply me samples
enough for 20 uses. They are for
women who wish to use what I use
who follow my advice. Let me send
you one. 1t will bring you new con-
ceptions of tooth paste. 1t will show
you what modern authorities advise.
This is the dentifrice of today.
