AS Accessory

GOLDEN, Colo.-Mrs. Rene Div
elbess, wife of the sheriff at Hol-
brook, Arizona, jointly charged
with Virgil A. Massie, Denver, with
the murder of his wife, Catherine,
former Carthage, Illinois, girl, was
charged with being an accessory
after the fact of murder, in the
Jefferson district court here last
week.
District Attorney Joel Stone, who
obtained jury verdict of convic-
tion of murder against Massie at
Brighton, Colorado, recently, filed
the new charges against Mrs. Div
elbess and Sheriff Walter Johnson
of Jefferson county swore to the
information.
Stone said he would not dismiss
the original murder charge against
| Mrs. Divelbess yet, although he
stated this was his intention in the
near future. Mrs. Divelbess was
one of the states principal wit
nesses against Massie in his mur-
der trial, during which she testi-
fed to being intimate with him af-
ter she had become estranged from
her husband in Arizona.

ton for the county Of Navajo, al
nounced that the Eighth Corps
Area quota for the Citizens Mill
:ary Training Camps has been

vantage of Uncle SANS offer OF sc
days outdoor training absolutely
free.
AS these additional vacancies
will be rapidly filled it is neces
sary for any interested young man

plication while there are still va
caDcies. This is too good an op-
<portunity to miss and young mer
from our county should jump at
this chance.

county are normally sent to the
Camp at Fort Huachuca, Arizona.
Application blanks and further
information can be secured from
c. D. McCauley or c. J. McQuillan,

Indians VIII
Put On Devil Dance

CLIFTON-For the first time in
the history of the Ft Apache res
ervation at Whiteriver the White
Mountain Apache Indians will do
their devil dance off the reserva-
tion when 125 of them will parti-
cipate in this sacred ceremony at
Hannagan's Meadows June 1920,
when the Clifton-S n-Springerville high
way, 124 miles in length, through
the Apache national forest, will be
formally opened and dedicated as
''The Coronado Trail"
This fact was made known by AL
vim Becker, of Springerville, chair
man of the program committee,
following conference with Agent
Charles l.. Davis of the reservation
and Apache Indian Chiefs. The
Indians expressed a desire to at
tend the fiesta, which is consider
ed of national Importance, and do
their part in an event which marks
the beginning of new era of life
in the Apache national forest, which
before the building Of the Corona
do trail as motor road was iso-
lated and known only to those
using saddle horse and pack ami
NAL. The Indians also have agreed
to put on some of their modern
dances to show the contrast as be-
tween those dances and their an
cient ceremony, the Apache Indian
devil dance, which is an appeal to
| the evil spirit to remain away from
the marriageable girls of the tribe
so that they may continue in the
protection of the Good Spirit. The
devil dance begins at sundown and
continues through the night until
sunrise. 1t is done to the beat of
tom toms in the glow of bonfires.
The Indians will ask nothing for
their services except the respect
of the white people, Mr.. Becker re-
ported. On behalf of the associa-
ton promoting the celebration he
has assured Mr.. Davis and the
chiefs that the association appre-
ciates too deeply the value of the
devil dance educationally and his
torically to white Americans, es-
pecially the children, to permit the
slightest violation of good manners
while this sacred ceremony is being
presented at Hannagan's Meadows.
The boy musicians of FIT. Apache
school also will be present and
render modern musical programs
| the two days of the celebration,
| Mr.. Becker announced.

Arizona Copper Gown
Will Be Featured At
BUYERS Convention

LOS ANGELES - Arizona pro-
ducts are to have an important
place in the "Informashow' to be
conducted at the Ambassador Ho-
tel in connection with the conyen-
ton of the National Association of
Purchasing Agents, June 9 to IL.
The outstanding exhibit of the
Informashow will be the display of
the Arizona Industrial Congress,
acting for the Copper and Brass
Research Association. Valuable re-
suits are expected from this edu-
cational display, in view of the fact
that every visiting delegate is a
prospective customer for the pro-
ducts shown, and the combined
buying power of the purchasing
agents assembled will be in excess
of two billion dollars yearly.
The Arizona exhibit will cover
a considerable variety of the pro-
ducts made from copper, incIud-
ing those for the building, electri-
cal, automotive and other indus
tries.
The exhibit will be in the charge
of Miss SharIot M. Hall, Arizona
poet and pioneer, who will be
gowned in a unique copper-mesh
costume which the Copper and
Brass Research Association lad
made for her when she cast Ari-
zona's vote at the electoral college
and represented Arizona at the in
auguration of President Coolidge
in Washington last year. The cop
per costume attracted wide atten-
ton through the east at that time,
and will be shown for the first time
on the Pacific coast at the InfOrma-
show. Miss Hall herself is one
Of Arizona's best known women, as
Iler family was one of the first to
settle in Yavapai county, and she
has won many admirers through
her poetry, of which she has pub
lished several volumes.
The display at the purchasing
agents convention will not only il
lustrate many of the multitude of
uses to which copper is put, but
will bring out the Importance of
copper in southwestern develop
ment, as Arizona alone produces
45 per cent of the copper of the
United States and one-fourth of the
worlds supply.
Arizona will send a large dele
cation to the convention, aside from
its industrial display.

Prohibition versus
Propag nda Is
Dry Leaders Subject

Mrs. Leora Lobbam Brewer, state
president of Arizona Woman's
Christian Temperance Union gave
her address Prohibition versus
Propaganda" in Winslow last Fri
! day. She has been in Nevada two
months representing the National
w. G. T. u, being a National Evan
gelist, while there she made num-
erous addresses, organized a num-
Der of new unions, secured several
hundred new members, and con-
Quoted state convention in Fallon.
She is touring the northern sec
tion of this state. She filled pulpits
in Kingman, Williams and Flagstaff
the past three Sundays; organiz
ing new unions in each town.
In her address here Mrs. Brew
er said in part: "The three great
est dangers of the present crucial
time are the apathy of the friends
of the cause, the avarice of the
would be dealer and the appetite
of the buyer-and the greatest of
the three is the apathy of the
friends. An arousment of the
friends is the need-a noisy min
ority is making itself felt with
abundant propaganda and making
sentiment that is hurtful to the
cause. A militant public opinion
can have anything it desires. Three
things are necessary for any law
to be enforced and enforceable law.
Honest officials and aroused public
opinion. We have an enforceable
law-the VOlstead and a fine state
law too, if we do not have honest
officials it is our own fault, we
elect them, and these with the ma
jority of right sentiment make the
road sure. Christian folks want to
realize these facts and do some
thing-the enemy is very busy try
ing to gain our friends to their
ranks. We should refute these mis-
statemtns and make it our busi-
ness to be informed so we can tell
the truth. The nations wealth,
health, efficiency, business, educa-
ton, home building have all Won
derfully improved even with an i'm
perfect observance; what will it be
as we go on and as we secure a
fairer chance for it. He who says
the law was secured unfairly ad-
vertises either his infamy or ignor-
ance-after years of education and
agitation it was adopted by the
largest number of states (46 of the
49, the largest number ever adopt
ing any amendment of the nine
teen-and the largest number in
congress voted for it too-Only
nineteen amendments ever added
and thousands have been introduce
ed. twenty-five years ago the
same proportion to the nation was
dry as is now true of the world so
the vets are desperate; even the
European dealers realize that their
doom is sealed the world is going
dry. They are said to be assisting
the vets with every possible assis-
tance.
A Chicago woman, Mrs. Mrche,
gave out the information recently
that in one Chicago paper in just
one month, fourteen million yards
of wet material had been publish
ed and the same month one N Y.
paper had forty-four million yards
no wonder people of the nation
are deceived. She made her esti-
mate by multiplying the material in
one copy by the circulation"
Mrs. Brewer urged the Winslow
women to plan to attend the Ma
tional convention which convenes
in Los Angeles and the state con.
venton follows in Yuma, October
the first and middle of the month,
respectfully.

Washington, June P,--The out look for the principal crops is still uncertain due to the backward sea son, the agriculture department said today in it's June report on farm conditions, but it seems prospects for "an exceedingly strong market position for hogs for the next five months"
 With regard to price regulationi ships. the department said that among the important crops, pota- toes alone continued in spectacular position during April"
 "Other cash crops" it went on. stood at prices which put them not far from a parity of exchange per unit. The feed crops sell at serious disadvantage. among the live stock products, wool, butter and hogs con tinue in fairly good exchange posi- ton. while cattle and eggs are be- low par, but improving. The general index Of purchasing power of farm products, in terms Of non-agricul- tural commodities, rose one point to SS during April"
 Wheat harvest will be under way within the month in the southwest and in the Pacific northwest, said the report. the crop being unusually advanced in the latter territory.

GASOLINE INQUIRY
 NOW IS ORDERED
Trade Commission Will Probe
 High Prices

Washington, June 4 LPp-A resolu- ton directing the federal trade com mission to investigate the increased price of gasoline and other petro- leum products was adopted yester- day by the senate without a record vote.
 The resolution, introduced by Sen ator TrammeiL democrat, Florida, requires the commission to report to the senate at the next session of con- grass whether the increases were arbitrarily made and unwarranted."
 The commission is further direct ed to determine if there are any agreements between oil companies to raise or depress prices, or if con- petition is restricted by conditions ot ownership of oil properties, retiner- ies or marketing facilities.
 Senator Trammeu held the reso- ution before the senate for weeks and each time there was lull in the proceedings he asked for action, bus it was showed aside repeatedly for some other measure. He accused the senate of wasting time over trivial affairs while the public was paying heavy toll to the oil trusts
 King Attacks Commission
 Joining in the debate, Senator King, democrat Utah, used the rcs- olution as a medium to again attack The federal trade commission, de- claring that, as important as the resolution was, he did not believe an inquiry by the commission with it's present majority personnel would be fruitful.
 Rising to the defense of the oil industry, Senator Hcrreld, repubIi- can, Oklahoma, declared an investf- gation WAS not warranted, as the rise and fall in oil prices was justi- fled. He accused senators of being afraid to vote their convictions when it came to the oil industry, which, he said is now being op- crated along ethical lines.
