WANTED In CASE
HERE, FOR YEARS
Ralph LOngnecker Arrested
In Texas and Returned
To Face Court

Sheriff George r. Henshaw offered
proof that the arm of the law is long
yesterday when Omar A. Ash, deputy
for the Douglas district, stepped off
the train here accompanied by Ralph
E. Longnecker, who will be remembered
by many in Douglas as firemen on
the FL Paso and Southwestern rail-
road before the merger
Ash, armed with papers showing that
Longnecker is wanted for contempt of
the Cochise county superior court in
matters growing out of a charge of
abandonment of his minor children,
went to Sweetwater, Texas, where
Longnecker was arrested and where he
signed a paper waving extradition and
agreed to return to Douglas with the
officer.
Longnecker, who is divorced from
Mrs. Buelah Longnecker Of this city,
related upon arriving here yesterday
afternoon that he has since married a
woman who formerly resided here and
in Tucson. He expressed regret that
he had not seen his three children
who are here with his former wife
and said that his intention had been
to return and "do something for the
children" n9
Sheriff Henshaw Related that the ar
rest of Longneckero was the culmina-
tion of search that has been carried
on quietly for nearly two years. He
said that number of times inquiry
had disclosed that Longnecker had left
cities just before the search reached

belonging to LongnAsker or to the
present Mrs. Longnecker, which he saw
at Sweetwater, has an Oklahoma Ii
cense which he said indicated to him
that the pair had been in that state
since Longnecker left here.
Sheriff Henshaw, after taking his
prisoner before Deputy County Attor-
ney B. c.. Thompson here for ques-
tioning, removed the man to the
Tombstone jail Just what the charge
of contempt of court constitutes in
this case was not known here yes
terday, but it is supposed that the
contempt is constituted by the failure
of the man to provide for his children
as the orders of the court had di-
rected He said yesterday that he had
net provided for them for a long time.
Deputy Ash, on his swift trip to
Texas after the man was armed with
a document signed by Sheriff Hen
shaw stating that Longnecker was
wanted on charges constituting a
felony and that if he refused to return
freely the proper steps would be taken
to extradite Deputy Ash presented
this paper first to the sheriff at Sweet
water and later to his prisoner SO that
Longnecker, desiring to make short
work of the matter, waived eXtradi-
ton.

A Clear Issue Drawn

The issue is clearly drawn between the electric
power industry and the federal government.
The most important group in the industry has de-
fed the federal trade commission Last winter in the
senate companies failed in their effort to pre-
vent investigation of their organization and financing
Now they trying to accomplish their purpose by
hiding among the ponderous processes of the law.
There is danger that they will accomplish their
purpose.
A similar attempt made by the federal trade
commission nine years ago. to learn certain facts about
the steel industry The taken to the courts
and stayed there years, until all for the in
formation had passed
Seven years from now, if power companies are
equally successful, the need may have passed for in
formation about the hydro-eectric industry There are
limited number of power sites in this country. They
are being developed rapidly. 1t is we'll within the
range of probability that in years all might be
tied up by long term leases, licenses contracts or
franchises in such way that all the investigation in
the world would leave the people of the country
powerless to protect their interests.
Further, the companies have extended their de-
fance to include the propaganda phases of the in
vestgation as we'll as that into their methods of
financing and organization. officials of the Electric
Bond and Share Company refused this week to pro-
duce records dealing with their activities TO influence
public opinion in regard to Boulder Dam, Muscle
Shoals and other projects involving public develop
ment of power
This in itself is a serious matter. The commits
sion already has revealed unsupported ways by which
the power industry has sought unseen, to mould pub
lie thought The integrity of schools, our news
papers, our public men, must be capable of veri-
fication on this issue, from this time forward
The federal courts can serve the people of the
United States we'll if they determine, with all possible
promptness the questions to be presented to them If
it is law that the federal trade commission may ask
and power companies must answer, let us obtain that
answer soon. while we have need of it.
If such is not the law, let us know, while there
is yet time to take proper precautions what we must
do to curb this arrogant youth in the family of our
national industries.
