STATE LEGISLATURE
CHAPLAIN is DEAD

Rev. Seaborn Crutchfield, 90, vet
eran chaplain of the Arizona state
legislature and resident of Arizona for
81 years, died at his home in Phoenix
Sunday following a lingering illness
which resulted from an injury to his
hip April 20, and subsequent compli-
cations Close relatives had been
awaiting his end for the past several
days, but the gallant spirit which car
ried him through Civil war days and
early life in the west enabled him to
hold on to life longer than the most
optimistic thought he would be able
to.
The aged minister died quietly soon
after he had been placed in his wheel
chair. With him at the time of his
death were Mrs Crutchfield and a son,
Rev. James Crutchfield of Claypool.
Another son, Rev. Wallace Crutch-
field, of Tulsa, Okla, who came to
Phoenix last Tuesday, was in Pinal
county when notified, and arrived at
the family home during the afternoon.

ROBBERS STEAL GUNS
FROM PRESCOTT STORE

Breaking through skylight and by
use of a rope robbers entered the
Hill Hardware company's store on
South Montezuma street, Prescott,
sometime late Sunday night or early
Monday morning and made off with
nine revolvers Of various styles and
calibres, valued at approximately
$500. Little else was taken, the mem
bers of the firm said, although just
what is missing cannot be estimated
without an inventory.
The entrance was through rear
skylight which is a full story and a
half from the floor of the store. A
hole large enough for a good-sized
man was broken in the glass and
marks on the roof and wall show
where a rope was lowered.
Few clues by which the thieves may
be identified were found.

Oscar Yields A Mean Broom

There are many who have wondered
why the Court House lawn is consid-
cred by Chief Judge D. Lindley Sloan
and other jurists as we'll as others
who occasionally visit Oakland, the
best kept property in any county of
the State.
There are many who wonder how
the offices in the Court House as well
as the corridors are kept so clean;
how it is that in the winter time, with
the mercury lowering about the zero
mark, as it often does, the offices are
always warm at eight o'clock, and
that the walks around the building are
always clear of snow.
There is only one reason for all of
this and that is the janitor, Oscar
Notes, aged colored man, who has
worked there for the past twenty
years and has missed only two
months time in all those years. 1t is
he who gets up at four o'clock on cold
winter mornings and fires the Court
House furnace and shovels the walks
free of snow. 1t is he who goes all
through the building each evening and
sweeps the corridors and Offices clean,
afterwards busting every nook and
Granny. 1t is he who makes the Court
House lawn what it is, calling forth
the response from Judge Sloan that it
is the best kept lawn in the State.
Oscar Notes was eight years old at
the time of the Civil War and lived
in Keyser, West Va. When the Court
House was built in 1905, Oscar was
an Oakland and had been for some
time prior thereto, but he did not be-
gin to work there until 1907. The
CRATES in the two furnaces in the
basement are the same ones that
were in use when he started to work,
showing the care that has been taken
by him in preserving these things.
Each year these furnaces and the
multitude of pipes leading from and
to them, are given new coat of paint
and the boilers thoroughly cleaned on
their interiors by the janitor, who
must also look after all the other du-
ties mentioned above.
A close inspection of the basement
rooms showed them to be in spotless
condition with everything in its place.
Even the coal storage room was clean
and orderly. Oscar looked around
with pride as he showed these rooms,
which he termed his own.
Away in one end of the basement is
a room shut off from the main COM
partment by an iron door, which,
when opened, revealed many records
that had been stored away since the
erection of the county building. Rec
ordS of elections, school board work
and of the County Commissioners,
etc, were piled in their proper places.
Oscar is so proud of his work and
takes himself so seriously in every
thing he does about the public build
ing, that he tries to do more than is
required of him by his employers.
He has perfect right to feel that
way, for his work is appreciated by
the Court House officials as we'll as
by every public spirited citizen in the
county.
He has been commended by many of
the judges and others who have Wis
tied the Court House on business or
otherwise. Oscar knows his stuff"
when it comes to looking after the
Court House or anything he is en-
gagged in.

Secretary Hoover States
Attitude T'ards President

Secretary Hoover, while with the Presi-
dent at Rapid City, successfully blew up
the levees which the extra Congress-ses-
sion people have been trying to raise. de-
handing an extra session of Congress.
Mr., Hoover. without mincing words or
motions, declared the President was alb
s~olutely right that an extra session for
flood relief would be apt TO do more harm
than good, and that the problem of flood
relief was one of finance and engineering
and not of polotics Ii was about time
that this was said and Mr.. Hoover, who
has the greatest understanding as an en-
gineer observer of actual conditions of
what is the right thing was the one real
man to make the statement.
The Secretary also at the same time
cleared up once and for all the stories and
limitations that he was considering a
Presidential campaign. He declared that
he sincerely expected and hoped fer the
reelection of President Coolidge, and to
that end he was going to give his best
energy. That the Hoover talk will con-
tinue is to be expected. He Has friends
and a multitude of them, some of whom
believe in political preparedness and who
are anxious to keep the figure Of Hoover
as a presidential possibility constantly
before the public But this is nothing to
get excited over; in fact, the Republic
cans on the whole can take considerable
comfort and thought that while the Dem
ucrats are seeking for one candidate on
whom they can all unite. the Republi
cans have three or four at least whom
they can appeal to the people.

down your prosperity. We are for shar-

North. We want policies broad enough
to take into consideration the nation as

and localities.
Nowhere in this country will you find
more prevalent than in this region the
feeling that we are one people, one coun-

NEW MEIGHAN
MOVIE AT APOLLO

Blending the gentlemanly ag-
: gressiveness of Gene Tunney and
the spectacular showmanship OF
Paul Whitdman. Vincent Lopez and
Ishanl Jones into single charac-
terization for a picture, is the diff
flcult feat performed by Thomas
Meighan in the new James Cruze
. production, Were All Gamblers"
which will be shown at the Apollo
next week.
Only q man familiar with the
drama behind the struggle for sue
cess in the great American. metrop-
oils, New York City, could do it.
During the years of his stage sue
cesses and his subsequent rise in
pictures, Meighan has probably
known intimately all the celebrities
Of that city.
In the earlier scenes of Were
AL Gamblers" which was adapted
from sidney ~Howard's stage play,
Lucky Sam McCarver," Meighan
portrays professional prize fighter
on the eve of q championship bat
tie. Later in the story he becomes
the proprietor of big New York
night club. This required an en-
tirely different technique.
The romance Of the fighter, Sam
McCarver, and society belle and
his efforts to protect her good name
when she becomes implicated in baf-
fling murder mystery provide an
abundance Of heart interest togeth-
err with many thrilling, tense dra-
matte situations.
