resentatives of the sheriff's office.
Warrants for the arrest of Willis
were issued here following the signing
of the complaint by Mrs. Blalack be-
fore Justice of the Peace w. G. Jack
and, deputy sheriffs relate that the
man has been followed by telegraph
half way across the United States and
back.
The officers state that at one time
they had trace of Willis in Oklahoma
City and that upon wiring the authorit-
les there to arrest him he was found !
to have left just ahead of the officers.
Again. he was traced to San Diego
where efforts to catch him proved
futile. "a
Messages from the Wichita officers
state that Willis will fight extradition
and is trying to secure his freedom on
writ of habeas corpus. Extradltlon
papers have been prepared by the CO.
chise county attorneys. office and have
been rushed to Phoenix for the sigma
tire of Governor Hunt, after which
Deputy Sheriff Fred Bennett, Of
Tombstone will be sent to Kansas to
bring the man back to Douglas.
According to the allegations IN the
complaint, Willis represented to Mrs.
Blalack that he wished to employ her
at a good. salary in dairy in the
Phoenix district, secured from her
$4,000 for stock in the dairy company,
sent her to Phoenix and departed. It
is understood that the dairy failed and
that the stock which Mrs. Blalack
secured for her $1,000 was stock iii
the dairy concern and was worth
something like ten cents share. She
is said to have secured 700 shares with
the $1,000. The stock is said to have
belonged to Willis who is alleged to
have used this means of disposing OF
| it at a profit

new PROJECT IN
Home BUILDING
NOW UNDER WAY

Marking what is thought to be the
revival of the building industry in
Douglas with the demand for houses
greater than it has ever been before
in the history of the city, Ed Powell,
we'll known local contractor, has laid
the foundation for a five-room mod
crate priced home to be rushed to
completion. Powell announced that
this house is for sale and that he IS
preparing to build another as soon as
this one is sold.
This house is being built of stucco
in the California. style and will be
modern and attractive in every way.
1t will cost less than $4,000. 1t is To-
Gated in the 1900 block on Tenth
street. He intimated that he had
every hope that he and his associates
would be able to sell it for much less
than $4,000.
Powell told a Dispatch reporter that
he is not trying to get rich from the
sale of this one house. He said that
he hoped to make wages from the
building Of it, to sell it at once and to
build more like it. He said that there
was no doubt that the demand for
good houses at a moderate price was
very great and that in all probability
this house will be sold before it is
finished.

KINDS
TO ARRIVE HERE.
AFTER SEVENTH

An attempt to find out the date for
the arrival in Douglas OF Major Cen
eral Ernest Hinds, commander of the
eighth corps area with headquarters
in Fort Sam Houston, Texas on an
inspection trip brought out yesterday
that orders had been sent to Camp
Harry j. Jones for transportation to
meet the general at the Old Pueblo
club in Tucson at 7:30 on the morn
ing of December Z.
Officers at Camp Jones explained,
however, that this transportation would
net bring General Kinds directly to
Douglas but would take him to No
gales. from there to Fort Huachuca and
then to Douglas so that it is consid-
cred likely that it will be several days
later before he. arrives here. He is
scheduled to take the train here to
return to his headquarters.
Officers at Camp Jones explained
that the general would go from Tue
son to Nogales where he will inspect
the troops and the camp and that
from Nogales he will go to Fort
Huachuca for an inspection of the
Tenth cavalry, coming on to Douglas
from that place for the inspection Of
Camp Jones. No date for his arrival
here has been received at camp.

further accentuate the exterior at
tractiveness while the choice of four
colors in pyroxylin finish are offered.
Simplicity in design has been car
ried to the ignition. There is only
one coil in waterproof case. There
are no ybrators to adjust, and no
exposed cables to work loose or short
circuit from water The distributor
is located in readily accessible
position on the top. of the engine
Centrifugal water pump large radl-
ator and airplane propeller type fan
provide cooling system which makes
the car very difficult to overhead,
except from abuse such as running
without enough oil, or dry radiator.
Easy on Gas, Claim
The oiling system also a distinctive
Ford design, is a combination OF
pump, splash and gravity feed. The
new transmission is of the selective
sliding gear type with standard shift
three speeds forward and one reverse
The main shaft runs on ball bearings
the countershaft on roller bearings
and the reverse idler on bronze bear
ings, a power saving design unusual
on LIGHT cars, Shifting of gears is
noiselessly and easily accomplished
at the pressure of the finger.
Multiple dry-disc clutch, rear axle
of three quarter floating type housed
in electrically welded steel, and spiral
bevel gear drive are interesting fea-
lures The axle shafts carry none
of the weight of the car, the wheels
running on roller bearings on the
housing. Newly developed springs Of
the transverse seni-elliptic type. and
hydraulic shock absorbers prevent
excessive up and down movement and
remove side sway.
Steel Spoke Wheels
1rreversible steering gear, which
prevents shocks from being transmit
ted to the hands of the driver, makes
handling exceptionally easy. Maxim
urn steering safety is further pro-
vided by gear housing Of welded
steel forgings. and steel tube steer
ing column welded into the housing
making sturdy and exceptionally
safe one piece unit
Ford designed steel spoke wheels,
completely welded into a one piece

FORD REVEALS
The DETAILS
OF new MODEL

After six months of Saying nothing
but saving wood Henry Ford today
announced the specifications OF the
new Ford car which succeeds ms
famous model T. A bare listing OF
these specifications presents picture
of an automobile that in performance,
appearance and mechanical features
has heretofore been associated with
a considerably higher price class.
Unusual speed and acceieratlon are
among the outstanding features OF
the new car. 1t is announced as
being able to make SIS to GO miles
an hour, with ease. In recent tests
it has made even more without
difficulty. What is more important,
it is stated that when travelling at
such speeds, it holds the road easily.
and with comfort to the driver and
passengers. It is. also stated witk
equal positiveness, however, that It
performs in an equally spectacular
manner on bad roads. In its design,
Mr.. Ford has. held to rs original
idea of car which can meet ali
conditions and types of ROADS.
Appreciating the constantly increas-
ing importance OF acceleration. the
Ford Motor company has given a
great deal of study to this feature
of the new car In high gear tests
with two passengers in Tudor sedan
it has shown an acceleration of from
5 to Is miles an hour in 8 IL seconds.
New Type OF Brakes
The new Ford car also introduces
a new type of four wheeled brakes
An exclusive Ford development, they
are of the mechanical shoe expand
ing type, and are self-centering. The
brake pedol and the hand brake each
operates all four brakes. It is stated
Douglas daily dispatch., 1927-11-30

that this is the most reliable and
simplest type of four wheel brake,
and also the easiest to adjust, all
adjustments being made from the
outside without removing any parts.
An engine that is practically vi
brationless develops 10 horsepower al
220O revolutions per minute. This low
revolution speed, III ratio to the high
horsepower, is illustrative of the
unusual efficiency of the engine. Also
it means a longer life, the lower
engine speed insuring less wear on
the engine parts. The low revolution
sneed is also substantial factor in
lessening the vibration The bore IS
7-8 inches, stroke 4 Ia inches
The unusually large crankshaft, which
is both statically and dynamically
balanced, weighs % pounds. This
balancing, combined with the light
ness of aluminium alloy pistons. fur
ther combine to reduce vibration and
increase riding and driving comfort
and safety.
In addition to freedom from vibra-
ton, it is announced that the car
is unusually quiet, great deal ot
attention having been paid to this
feature by the Ford engineers. In
the engine, the timing gears are
made of bakelized fabric, which is
much quieter than metal The cams
on the camshaft have been SO de-
signed as to prevent valve clicking.
COachwork Adds Beauty
The coachwork OF the car is as
distinctive as it's performance There
is noticeable European touch in the
line and contour 1t is NOT only
designed for exterior beauty, but has
as well the interior rooniness, con-
venience and luxurious appointments
to bc found in much higher priced
automobiles. On an instrument board
Of satin-f finished nickel are mounted
the speedometer, gasoline guage,
ameter and ignition lock, with a
dashlight in the center The new
military type sun visor, with a crown
roof and round corners, are features
of the closed models. Unusually mar
row pillars and very wide doors and
windows give maximum vision. Nick
