THRILL MURDERER OF FRANKS

CHICAGO, March Is. P)-Confront-

wholesale prison delivery to be car
ried out by poisoning all the guards

legged lead of Nathan Leopold, one of
the slayers of Bobby Franks, officers
tonight continued to Gelve into the
story that followed two escapes OF
prisoners recently States Attorney
REIN tonight indicated that a grand
jury would be asked to help, although
after a hasty review of the story he
had declined to believe it,
Meantime, prison officials and state
authorities prepared for any emer-
gency which might rise by Satur-
day. when officials, guards and trus-
ties were to have been poisoned, ac-
cording to details of the plan barred
by Leo Belgoda, recently released
from the prison.
Poisoning of the guards was to be
accomplished, Delgoda related, by
placing poison in their food which
was prepared by convicts.
Warden Elmer Green said he has
instituted an Investigation into Leo
polds alleged connection with the
plot. Delgoda said Leopold had in
his possession $4,000, which was to
be used by the prisoners after their
escape.
Leopold's brother, however, denied
that much money was available to
the thrill slayer of little Bobbie

JEROME. March Is (P.NArizona's
greatest long time" fire has cele-

day the 20 year fire in the United

was going strong.
Thousands of dollars have been
spent by the company and scores of
methods have been used in an attempt
to quench the flames of burning
sulphur which make of the emoun-
tain a veritable Flaming mountain. !
Live steam and concreting of certain
areas have been used to kill the

unite with the oxegen of the air
and the copper-filled mountain side
presents picture worthy of Dante's

Livestock

Good rains over the entire state
accompanied by snow at higher ele-
vations, have assured ample supplies
of feed and water for livestock.
Range conditions are everywhere re-
ported excellent, and stock has come
through the winter in fine shape.
Contracting of cattle for spring
delivery has opened with prices from
81 to 81 a head higher than a year
ago and prospects for spring move
ment are favorable The fat cattle
market has maintained a good level,
and operations of the Arizona

show good results. Last year 32S,429
head of cattle were shipped outside
the state, in addition to slaughterings
of 1921 head and an intra-state
movement of 137,OS6.
The past 80 days have seen quite
extensive shearing over the winter
sheep ranges, and shearing will con-
tinue for another month, the delay
having been occasioned by February
rains. Sheep are in first class con-
dition and lambing is progressing
nicely Range conditions are reported
never better.
Lamb markets have shown Steady
gain in prices over a month ago, and
the latter part of March will see
a considerable number of Arizona
lambs on the eastern market. The
wool market has been rather slow
and draggy, with very few sales being
made on account of the prices offered,
which average six to eight cents
lower than last spring. Mohair shear
ing will start very shortly, but it
is too early to forecast the market.

There is only room for 500. Beyond
that the wave lengths interfere with

Since the federal court decision

| There was a time when national
conventions were held in New Eng
land to a greater extent than at
present. Springfield seems to be the
only city which has held its own as
a lure for conventions, and it's rec
ord is - no means remarkable. Bos-
ton has fallen comparatively low in
the scale, compared with other
metropolitan centers, this having
been due to its poor hotel facilities.
This drawback has been cured"
with the construction of four large
caravansares, one of them still be-
ing built. Boston is expected to
come back" as city in which
convention throngs will be easily at
home. Hartford has not done well
as a convention city and probably
will not improve in the near future.
If Boston begins to perk UP its
head as a convention city it will help
all of New England to some extent,
as many delegates TO such affairs
nowadays make the trip by motor,
which usually forces them to visit
other cities en- route.
There is no sound reason why New
Britain should not be able to secure
more state conventions of various

which this city can bid for with any

The average state convention can
easily be accommodated in New
Britain; We should have more of
them.

IMPROVING TROLLEY CARS
IN THE CITY

The Connecticut company has
/ been busily engaged in eliminating
some of the fashioned "dinky"
cars which for so many years have
graced some of the minor lines in
New Britain.
1t will have been noticed that the
new smaller type of cars are all
steel and possess many modern i'm
provoments, including a newer ar
rangemeat of seats.
The discarded dinky cars, after
years Of service, meet an ignomni-
Gus end by being 'cremated" at the
company's car graveyard at White
Oak. All metal parts are taken off.
and the wooden boxes are hauled to
the cemetery. Thus the end of old
and aged public servants.
The newer cars, although no
larger than the older type, are much
more comfortable to ride in. They
do not bump up and down like hob
by horses. and give the impression
of progress and a desire to give the
public square deal.
The day is past when the public
will be satisfied with any kind of
makeshift and ancient conveyance in
public transportation. The comfort
able modern busses have forced the
street railway companies to realize
the finer points Of comfort, and it is
10 their credit that they are at
tempting to meet the demand.
Two OF the ancient dinky cars are
still being operated upon Tie West
Main street city line. They will de-
part from the rails during the carry
part of 1927.
Thus a staunch step forward will
have been made in undermining the
cty's transportation service.
The next step should be the
elimination of all cars with seats
paralleling the sides. These are fine
for loading in strap hangers, but
they are good for no other purpose.
