BELIEVED 2 PHOENIX MEN
DROWNED MORMON LAKE

Mystery, not anmixed with skepti-
cism, attends the supposed drowning
in Mormon Lake last Friday after
noon of two Phoenix mem. G. Ger
rim and Tom McCafferty Jr., the lat
ter the son of the proprietor of the
Del Monte restaurant Of Phoenix.
The two, with two other Salt Riv-
er valley men, had been camping
near Montezuma Lodge, Mormon
Lake for nearly three weeks. Fri
day forenoon Gerrin and McCafferty
hired a small boat with Evinrude
motor from I. H. Swisher, manager
Montezuma Lodge, and set out They
carried along soap and towels and
presumably were going to swim.
Both, it is said, were expert swim
mers.
About four that afternoon two
men in a motor boat-supposed to be
Gerrin and McCafferty-were seen
from Tombler's Lodge going toward
the island on the west side of the
lake. That was the last seen of
them.
When the men didn't return that
night word was sent to Phoenix.
Saturday night the sheriff's office at
Flagstaff received word that the men
were missing. Art Vandevier, john
ny Hoffman and others from the of
flee went to the lake.
The boat was found near the Camp
bell, Francis & Co. ranch on the west
side. of the lake, upside down, motor
still attached, and anchor dragging.
A cap supposed to have belonged to
one of the men was found, but no
other clothing. The cap was thrown
into the lake, but sunk almost at
once, leading to the belief that it
had not been washed ashore but had
been left there. The oars to the boat
had washed ashore.
There was a high wind Sunday,
precluding any possibility of using
graphing irons, even had there been
any certainty where the men had
gone down. In a lake of that size
about six miles in diameter in any
direction, searching for the bodies is
an almost hopeless proposition. 1t
was believed that while the bodies
would normally rise to the surface
in three to five days, because of the
coldness of the water in Mormon lake
it likely would be nine days or so be-
fore they would come up.
Tom McCafferty Sr. came up from
Phoenix Sunday morning. Gerrin's
sweetheart, to whom he was to have
been married in Flagstaff on Monday
of this week, also came and went to
Mormon Lake, as did several other
friends of the missing men. They all
returned south the first part of this
week except the two men who had
been. camping there with Gerrin and
McCafferty.
GERMS sweetheart claimed she
had dream last week in which she
saw her sweetheart drowning and
heard him call for help.
Charlie Simpson, game warden,
who is located at Mormon Lake most
of the time, and Clyde Fulcher are
keeping vigilant watch for the bodies
of the two men, spending most of
their time in motor boat patrolling
the lake.
McCafferty is 90 and Gerrin "a or
35. Both formerly were service men.

make SUGAR OF
CORN SuRPLUs!'
Or. H. E. Barnard offers
Solution of Problem.

Bn United Press
CHICAGO, Jan. 7.--America's per-
picking corn surplus problem can be
solved by turning the excess corn
into sugar, DR.. II. E. Barnard, presi-
dent of the American Institute of
Baking, told the United Press today.
One of the leading corn products
plants of the country located in the
middle west, is working day and
night to produce enough corn sugar
to supply the demand, but still is
several months behind inaits orders
from bakers, Barnard said New
plants will spring up as the demand
increases, and within twenty-five
years the corn surplus problem will
be thing of the past, he predicted.
Barnard, a. nationally known food
expert, was food administrator of
Indiana under Secretary of Com
merce Herbert Hoover.
Corn sugar. already established in
the baking industry, is growing in
favor among other consumers, Bar
nard declared President Coolidge
pointed the way by making it known
that the White House is using a con-
signment of corn sugar from Iowa.

drunkenness charges before the
board Of safety.
Capt. George Winkler said Swank
was under the influence OF liquor
while on his beat in the east Sec
ton of the city. WinlSler took
Swank's badge, gun and other city
property. Lieut. Ralph Dean and
emergency squad searched the city
for an hour when headquarters were
told drunken policeman was pa
trolling the district. Unable to find
him, Dean waited until SwanlS called
in and ordered him to stay at the
call box. He was arrested at Rural
and Michigan SITS.
Swank was recently reinstated
after sixty day suspension ordered
by the board OF safety, Aug. 1S.
Swank at that time was charged
with drunkenness and unbecoming
conduct.
Swank was first appointed April
81, 1920, and since that time has

lice officials say.

GRAIN OPENING
is IRREGULAR
Loses Slightly in
Selling Squirt.

Blu United Press
CHICAGO, Jan. Grain futures
had a mixed opening on the Chicago
Board of Trade today. Wheat lost
fractionally in a squirt of selling
credited to those having large sup
plies. Corn advanced on buying by
those who believe the market has
higher tendencies. Oats followed
corn.
Failure to absorb liberal offers
from commission houses weakened
the leading cereal. Foreign news was
improved with Liverpool showing a
slight upturn.
Buying in corn swept aside bear
factions. Demand for the cash
article showed improvement.
Oats advanced under influence of
corn. Provisions trailed with offers
heavy and buying light.

Bu United Press
NEW YORK, Jan. Prizes dis
played no definite trend in the early
trading, suffering from the widely di-
vergent views prevailing in the
speculative community. Profession
ais were mostly inclined to the be-
lief that an irregular downward
movement was in propect before any
material progress on the upside
could be accomplished.
This opinion resulted in con-
centration of selling pressure on
Baldwin and a few other industrial
leaders at the opening. But these
offerings were Offset by indications
of important bank buying Of U. S.
Steel, which moved up fractionally
TO 1879 and American Can which
Mined Is to 291 "a.
- Call money was maintained at the
renewal rate of 4 per cent in the
late morning, but more than S3U,-
100000 was reported available at
that price, and loans were made as
low as 81 per cent in the outside
market. In view of this situation
the official price was expected to
drop to 81 per cent before the day
was over.
This anticipation brought fresh
buying in various stocks around
noon. American Can pushed into
new high ground on the movement
at 1921, up rs, and American ST.
gar moved up IN to 70, it's best
price since 1923. Accumulation of
sugar was based on the prospect Of
an increase in the SIS dividend rate

Federal agents recently. He admit
ted having been raided but freed
once in the last two years. He was
convicted five years ago.
"a couple of times before the
officers came out was tipped off.
The tip came from police head
quarters" he told Remy. He said
he gave officers on the district
liquor nearly every day.
Frequently they warned me to
slow up for a while, because a com
pIaint had been received" the pro-
prietor said. Occasionally officers
took liquor away in a bottle, he said.
He said the alcohol was brought to
his place by Negro about p. m.
daily in an automobile. One person
from whom he had bought alcohol
is now serving Federal sentence.
Christmas Presents
Another proprietor said he gave
four officers Christmas presents of
liquor and cigars. He said his place
was not raided after contributing
$1CO to the G. o. p. fund.
Remy cited these cases as typical
ones. He expressed confidence in
the system which places response
bility for liquor violation on in
dividual officers. The plan was in
auguarated by Chief Johnson, who
abandoned the booze squad under
former Capt. William Paulsel.
1.-THE new system is efficient but
its success depends on the men and
not the system" said Remy.
