GASOLINE DROPS
TO % CENTS A
GALLON IN ARIZ.


PHOENIX, Sept 80 (AP) = Gas
has come down again. Food for ArI-
zonas gasoline motors took a de-
cided drop throughout the state to-
night with the announcement of three
OF the major oil companies operating
in the state that gasoline hereafter
will retail at 2s cents per gallon,
including the state road tax OF three
cents.
Other companies were expected to
conform.
The Shell C6l company announced a
reduction of four cents a gallon in
the wholesale price of gasoline and
the Union Oil company posted a new
rate of 20 cents shortly after D. m.
here in Phoenix. Standard Oil sta-
tions will open tomorrow morning
with gasoline retailing at % cents.
The reduction is greater than any
previous decrease announced by the
oil companies They decreased price,
one to two cents throughout the state
a few weeks ago due to decreased
freight costs in getting the product
into the state. The history of gas
prices in Arizona does not show /,
single drop Of fbur cents at any time.
]. H. oliver, manager the Shell
Oil company of Altoona said tonight

oil circles presaged cut IN Arizona. .
Arizona gas cuts, however, are even
greater than those in California
Standard oil officials commented no
further than to say that the four
cent reduction would be effective to-
morrow.

ment that he was paid money to leave
the state after his investigation four
years ago in the murders Of the Rev

she saw at the murder scene the pres
ent investigation of the crime was
based.
Dickman, Simpson also said, has
identified several persons who were
witnesses to the staying Of Hall and

SAN NPEDRONOW

NEAR IMPERIAL

IMPERIAL, Calf, Sept. SO.-(AP)-
Telegraphic reports to the Imperial Ir-
rigation district today state that a
flood Of $4,000 second feet is passing
Rays Junction, where the San Pedro
river flows into the ella river in east
ern Arizona. This will reach Yuma,
Arizona, about Monday, it was said
Early today $4,000 second feet was
the report over Gillespie's dam, south
west of Phoenix. This is due at Yuma
early tomorrow. Grand canyon reports
are that the Colorado river is falling.

WILLIAMS NOT
CONSPIRATOR,
JUDGE STATES

NEW YORK, Sept. 3O.--(AP)-When
George e. Williams, managing director
| of the alien property custodian's offico
from 1918 to 1924, advised the release
of $7,0OO,00O impounded assets of the
American Metal company in 1921, he
knew that another claim for some of
the same property previously had been
denied, he testified in the Miller
EDaugherty conspiracy trial today.
Williams, who as first assistant to
Thomas w. Miller, former alien prop
erty custodian, investigated the Ameri-
can Metal company claim of Richard
Merton, who was the first defense wit
ness in the trial of Miller and Harry
M. Daugherty for conspiracy to defraud
the government of their best service
in permitting the Merton release,
During the entire morning session he
was questioned by William Rand
counsel for Miller. Rand's Questioning
tended to show that all the work Of in
Ivestigating the Merton claim and pass
ing on it for the A. P. G. office had
been done by Williams and that Miller
had signed it in good faith on his man
aging directors assertion that it was
valid.
At the afternoon session, United
States Attorney Buckner took the Wit
ness Buckner had said earlier In the
trial that Williams would be, shown to
have been a conspirator with Mil
Ter and Daugherty, the latter two he
charged, having been induced to con-
spire against the government by hypo-
dermic injections of graft" made by
John T. King, hired by Merton for
SAL, 900 to put the claim through
Judge Mack announced, however,
before the defense began it's case today.
that Williams had not been shown to
be a -conspirator. Buckner ques-
toned the witness at length concern
ing testimony he gave last year before
"a grand jury investigating the Ameri-
can Metal company transfer.
Williams stated that much Of the
testimony he had given at that time
was wrong because he was under a
misapprehension concerning documents
shown him by the prosecutor.
In another part of his examination
Buckner attempted to break down the
impression the defense had sought to
make repeatedly in cross questioning
government witnesses, which was that
the Merton claim was rushed through
and payment made in person by Miller
in New York, both to save Merton ST.
600 a day interest on the released prop
erty and to enable him to make a
steamer on which he had engaged
passage.

lie ucidy I'll fepdlFiHS the WdSIeu-
out bridges Thursday was due to the
inability Of the railroad to get suf-
with which to fill in the wash-outs.
One hundred cars of Stag from Doug
las and mine-waste from Bisbee were
used in repairing the bridge at
Charleston Thursday. Railroad Of
ficials announced Thursday that the
line will probably be open by Friday
afternoon.
Two huge trains of crushed rock
were brought from Tucson Thursday
and additional cars are being loaded
all the time. A threatened cave-in
at the mines at Bisbee delayed the
moving Of mine waste from that
point Wednesday night and Thursday
morning, but the work of loading
cars at Bisbee began Thursday. A..
E. Sweet, assistant general manager,
and L. u. Morris, superintendent OF
the Southern Pacific, are both IN
personal charge of the repair work
and are making every effort to re-
open the lines as soon as possible.
Service on the north line of the
Southern Pacific was partially re-
stored Thursday by the construction
of a hand bridge across the San
Pedro river at Benson, wnere a huge
railroad bridge was washed out our
ing the recent storm. A stub train
from Tucson meets the Ell Paso train
at this bridge, both transfer their
passengers, light baggage and mail
by way of the hand bridge, and then
back out from the bridge as they
return to Benson and Tucson.
The Southern Pacific is operating
four pile drivers at Charleston, two
at either end of the bridge. All
available equipment and wofknien
have been rushed to the scene of the
trouble, and high railway officials,
as well as the section men, are labor>
ing in the mud and water 70 repair
the broken lines. 1t was announced
that as soon as the southern line is
open, all trains will be operated over
this line until the Benson bridge or
the north line can be replaced.
The Tucson highway was partially
opened to traffic Wednesday after
noon by the construction of brush
driveway across the mud leading to
the approach of the bridge at Far
banks. To make this trip, cars nave
to drive across the mud and upon
timbers leading to the bridge, but 1t
was expected to have the crossing In
better condition by Thursday night
Highway officials state that it will
require two years to entirely recover
from the effects of the flood.
Since the news of the flood reached
outside newspapers through The As
sociated Press, telegrams and Ions
distance calls from every section Oh
the country have been received IN
Douglas, inquiring about persons a~ld
conditions here. Manager j. L. Buck

that several dozen kilograms have
been received here as a rsult o.
