COMMUNISTS FAIL
TO GAIN ATTENTION
OF QUEEN MARIE

! CHICAGO Nov. 13.-(P0-Three hun
dred communists, carrying banners
derogating Queen Marie and the Ru
manian government, injected into Chi.
cago's welcome to the queen tonight d
feature not included in the plans which
she approved for her reception.
Greeted with social and military
pomp, Marie swept through the packed
concourse of the Illinois Central station
and into the royal car to find in the
background of the welcoming throng
members of the International Workers
Defense league, Haunting legends, pa
pers and handbills assailing her and
the government she represents.
Down with Rumanian terrorism,
Down with Queen Marie, oppressor of
Bukovina and Bessarabia" and $500
political prisoners rot in Rumanian
jails" were among the inscriptions
which the communists waved aloft.
The queen, sheltered from dismal
rain by her enclosed car, gave no in
dication that she was aware of the
denunciation and proceeded to the city
hall, where she was presented to Mayor
Dever and the city council, who gave
her the keys to the city.
AS she left the city hall by one exit
the bedraggled battalion of communists
which had marched in disarray UP side
streets to the building, stormed an
other door and carried their banners
into the municipal building, only to
find that the target of their barbs
had gone.
The police beat them back and ex-
PEELED them from the building, arrest
ing several who resisted. The royal
party and the welcoming committee
saw less of the demonstration than
spectators who stood in the rain along
Michigan avenue to get a fleeting
glimpse of the guests.
Darkness beset the city before
Marie's train arrived at $50, but the
glare of torches lit her path as she
left the train. AS she followed mill
tary escort through the station she
caught a chrysanthemum tossed by
red haired girl and turned to smile ac-
acknowledgement. Countless times she
halted to pose for photographers.
Her stay at the city hall occupied
less than Is minutes, when she was
whirled away to the Lake Shore drive
hotel where the 27 rooms of the top
floor are to be her home until next
Wednesday, Within another hour she
was dressed for a small dinner given
in her honor at the Drake hotel by the
welcoming committee and at 10 o'clock
she was escorted to the hotel dining
room where a thousand reception
guests greeted her. An hour and
half was allotted her to meet her well
comers, and it was after midnight
when the buffet supper was served and
the queen closed day which began 16
hours before with the departure from
ST. Louis.
The Skies which had poured rain all
day, cleared as she stepped to the plat
form at Springfield to entrain with the
royal party for Lincoln's burial place,
and the sun shone as she placed
wreath at the foot of the shaft An
nouncement. was made today that the
queen will vary her itinerary to make
trip to Florida.

LOCAL POWER COMP ANY
SPENDING LARGE SUMS
TO IMPROVE SYSTEMS.

In the neighborhood $4,000 is
being spent by the Arizona Edison
company in effecting the changeove;
from the two to three phase in its
local power system, it was learned
Saturday from ]. p. Sexton, manager
of the company.
Work on the changeover was be-
gun several weeks ago, and has
progressed rapidly. Thus far the
work has been carried on without
even a momentary interruption of
service to any consumer.
Several circuits in the local power
system have already been cut over
to the power plant of the Copper
Queen smelter, where the three phase
circuit is supplied. Sexton stated
that as soon as half of the local
power lead is placed on the smelter
plant, the work of rewinding and re-
zona Edison company's plant will be
started. 1t is hoped that the entire
changeover may be effected without
interruption of service.
Nearly four carloads of equipment
will have been used in making the
change in the power system. A force
Of from ~ to Is men is al work
on the project, and Sexton stated that
more men will be used when the work
at the power plant is started.
One of the big expense items CT
the change was the necessity Of ship
ping into the city surplus stock
Of electric motors. The power COM
pany secured the surplus stock al
three phase motors SO that power
consumers may borrow from the
stock while their own motors are
being rewound for adaptation to the
new current supply.
Saxton stated that the changeoyeT
in the power system is only one ster
in an exhaustive program of improve
ment whereby every phase of tke
be brought up to the most Inohrrr
standard.
During the past two months thou
sands of dollars have been spent BY
the company in many forms of i'm
provement The old gas mains are
being replaced by new ones of larger
capacity, thus giving the gas con
sumers Il more consistent pressure
Sexton estimates that more than Ii
miles of pipe are used in the gas
system, ard said that before the pres.
ent Improvement program is com
pleted the entire system of gas mains
will be renewed.
Another item upon which the com.
pany is spending large sums o.
money is meters. Gas and electric
meters of the latest design are being
purchased and installed every month
The installation of the new meters
Sexton says, accounts in some case,
for the seeming discrepancies in ga.
and power rates reported to the com
pany's office by subscribers. Man,
of the old meters are said to have
been inaccurate.
The first actual step in enlarge
ment of the company's system becam,
| known Saturday, when it was an
nounced that the Arizona Edisol
company is to start work at once OF
power line to run from Bisbee t.
Naco.
r. J. Condor, president of the Cen
tral Power and Light company, o
Chicago, OF which company the Ari
zona Edison company is a subsidi
ary, has spent several months Il
many sections of Arizona, and ha
] frequently conferred with Sexton
While no announcement has beer
made by officials of the company
| Sexton stated that Condon's polio,
( is one OF Improvement and expan
sion and it is understood that i'm
portant developments are to be an
] nounced in the near future.

COOLIDGE TAX
CREDIT PLAN
HITS BUMPS

WASHINGTON, Nov. 1S
(AP)-Proof piled up here
today that President Cool
idge's tax credit plan, if it
ever gets through congress,
will emerge be arin G the
scars and bumps of an en-
battled passage.
One of the proofs was tho comine
to town of Representative John Gar
ner, Texas. ranking democratic mem
Der of the house ways and means
committee, who generally has say,
and a powerful one, as the :hc poll
cies of his party in financial matters.
He had with him a program of his
own for a straightout cut in the
corporation tax from 1915 per cent
to 12 per cent, and for repeal of the
automobilo tax.
The Texans arrival coincided with
that of Representative Ogden Mills,
of New York, republican, on the
ways and means COMMITTEES, and his
unbending opponent in everything re-
lating to financial legislation. AS if
they were squaring off for a re-
sumption of their perennial argu-
ment, Mills found the presidents
credit plan the only practical way Of
returning to the taxpayers at this
time the $3.50. 100000 surplus in the
treasury, while Garner saw little
good in it.
Mills did not say he would initi-
ate any legislation to carry out the
presidents plan. He explained that
he would prefer to confer with Chair
man Green of the committee first.
The chairman, with a number of
other republicans, who have express
ed themselves, have been rather luke
warm to the proposition.
Mills did say, however, that it
would be folly" from a financial
viewpoint to attempt pernla nent tax
reduction at the approaching short
session of congress, and in this he
has the backing of Secretary Mellon
and others of the administration.
The argument of Representative.
Garner put into concrete form the
buzz of opinion heard in a number
of democratic quarters recently that
the presidents plan would largely
benefit corporations and not the con-
sumers.
I, nlos,
creased the corporation tax from 10
per cent to 12A per cent, and in 1926
we increased it again to 1914 per
cent Each time we reduced the in
come tax and gave greater reduc-
tions in surtaxes.
"Since more than 20 per cent of
the corporation taxes are paid by
the people and less than 20 per cent
Of the income taxes are passed on
to the people, the corporation tax
should be reduced by all means so
that the purchasing public may get
the benefit of tax reduction. The
automobile tax is a consumption tax
and the ultimate consumer pays the
most of it.
"ff the corporations and the indi-
viduals are allowed a rebate on their
taxes, as proposed by the president
it will be entirely for the benefit Of
the corporation and not the indi-
vidual.
I'm other words, Mr.. Mills and
Mr.. Mellon, whc say the people ulti-
mately pay all the taxes, now pro
pose that 7G per cent of the cor
poration tax shall be turned back
merely for the benefit of the stock
holders and corporations. My method
would enable the corporations to re-
duce the cost of products to the
consumers"

3BISBEE WOMEN
HELD ON CHARGE
OF lifting


Three Bisbee women, all reported
to be married and living in Bisbee,
We're apprehended early Tuesday
afternoon by Deputy Sheriff walter
Morris and Officer o. E. Patterson,
following complaints from several
merchants of Douglas that goods and
articles had disappeared after the
trio had been in their stores.
When brought perore Judge John
e. Newbury later in the afternoon,
the women were charged with shop.
lifting and each held on a $50 bond.
If County Attorney John Ross is
able to come to this city at
o'clock this afternoon the women
will probably be given jury trial
at the local courtroom.
Four separate complaints were
filed against the women charging
them with having taken goods from
the Douglas store of j. c. Penney
company, the Phelps Dodge Mercan-
tile company store here, the Bazaar
store and the Millinery shop of Ida
B. Lawrence.
Local officers We're first apprised
of the alleged activities of the
women when an employe Of the J.
c. Penney company store notified
police headquarters that some ar
ticles were missing from that es-
tablishment and that the trio was
suspected. The women were then
watched when they entered some
of the other stores of the city and
it is alleged that while one of them
talked to the clerks at various shops,
the other two stuffed materials un-
der their coats.
Just after l o'clock, the women
entered an automobile and started
toward Bisbee, being apprehended
by the two officers at about Six
teenth street. They. had no parcels
in the, machine at that time but
goods which had been taken from the
four stores were found a little later
by the officers at local establish
ment where they are said to have
left them while completing their
rounds. The stolen commodities are
estimated to be valued at about
$500.

Senator McKeIIar Calls
Colonel House ''WilsOn's
Valet" During An Attack
CBy Dispata. A. r. wire)

WASHINGTON, Mar 2.--Colonel u.
NJ. House was accused in the senate
today by Senator McKellar, demo-
crat, Tennessee, OF undertaking to
betray woodrow Wilson in his mem
oirs now being published in serial
form. Describing Colonel Houses ac-
ton as 9the grossest piece Of ef-
frontry" Senator McKellar declared
his papers constituted "an migrate
full presentation of a situation that
is not warranted by the facts.
"There is one thing that Colonel
House absolutely proves" the Sena-
tor said, "and that the old French
proverb that no man was ever a
hero to his valet. Colonel House, IT
appears, was the valet to President
Wilson during a part Of his admin
istration and through the French
proverb this valet now undertakes
to show that his master and bene-
factor was not a great man."
Senator Caraway, democrat, Ar
kansas, interrupted to express the
hope Senator McKeller would not
discuss Colonel House, adding that
mo one will ever read his articles
unless the senator has something to
say about them
'Tf I thought that 7 would be si-
lent forever" Senator McKellar said,
II have read the articles"
"Then the senator is the only one
who has" said Senator Caraway.

BASSEIT TALKS
ON GAMBLING
WITH Deaf H

Evangelist Carl Bassett spoke
Tuesday night at the Baptist church
to large crowd on playing Poker
With Death"
"Many are playing poker with
death The ace he holds is Justice
and they will have to have a hand
that will beat that to win" Bassett
gave a list of cards that some try
to play in the game with death.
The first card was church mem
bership. THE church is the place for
Christian. Every real Christian
should be in some church, but church
membership will not save anyone
Only Jesus Christ can do that. If
you are a genuine Christian, you
will try to bring some one to Christ
'"The second card many people play
is a greed for money. Money isn't
going to satisfy in this life any
more than in the life to come.
Another card is morality. Moral
ity isn't going to save anybody. Your
good life, your education, your cuI-
ture-none will save you.
Many play the card of pleasure.
1t is not sinful to have good
time. A young person has a right
to have pleasure. God believed in
fun, or. he would never have made
the monkey, the giraffe, or a lot of
people. Pleasure must be recreation
al, not destructive. You must be
able to discriminate between the
right and wrong kind of a good
time
Another card is neglect of God
They have neglect because they
haven't backbone enough to be on
the side of Jesus Christ. Lots of peo-
ple lose out in this world because
they haven't courage to do what
they should. Any poor simp of
coward can follow the Devil, but it
takes real man to follow Christ"
Bassett told his audience that there
is just one card one can play in the
game with death to win, and that is
Jesus Christ
The topic for tonights sermon is
'Simps, Saps and Fools"
