LEONES OPEN TO LARGE AUDIENCES AND MYSTKFY “DOUBTING THOMASES” j A great many Nogales people are wondering just how it was possible for Dr. and Lady Leone to answer questions of a strictly private nature at the Lyric theatre last evening, and the surprising part was they did not coniine themselves to questions ask ed, but in many instances told of af fairs only known to the person mak ing the inquiry. Nothing less than personal con versation with a spirit would convince , certain people who are believers only ; in the tangible, but even these must | have gotten a healthy s : ze ‘jolt’ when 1 the curtain was yeht assunder and a f view given of that which had hereto l fore been locked within their own i mindg and hearts. : Viewed from any standpoint, the ’ Leones are exceptional in their work. ( if not highly sensational, and it is a , certainty their engagement in No | gales will compare with that accord , ed them in the largest cities in the , land. | It was wisdom on the parts of all . concerned to make the admissions very low, thereby permitting those of ( the slenderest purses to atend. It is ; a mistaken idea for any attraction visiting Nogales to raise their regular ■ prices, for such a policy is a mistaken ' one, as has been frequently proven in the past. The feature picture given is worth j the admission alone, and altogether the offering is well worthy capacity audiences. ■■ 1 - ’ ' j The attraction - continues today. [ Sunday, and tomorrow, Monday, with I daily matinees.. 2s3Q, and two nigh* ( .-hows, the first at 7 and the last at .9 o’clock. . , ARIZONA BAPTIST WIN THE I BANNER .t- • - First State Over The Top In The Hun j dred Million Dollar Campaign Arizona Baptists have proven their j genuine sacrifical and heroic spirit, j iin that fifty churches with a total j membership of about four thousand; i , having accepted the challange to raise 1 \ $215,000, of the SIOOOOO,OOO, fund ; proposed in the New World Move j ment of the Northern Baptist Con- j t ypqtion; is the first State to go over I I the top, Therefore Arizona is the ! i banner State, I The exact figures are not obtatn . able at this time but State Director 1 L. W, Coggins of Phoenix wired this j morning “Arizona first State to raise quota. VV'e receive banner.” It is j also remarkable that the Nogales ! Church, with a resident membership of only twenty, and an allotment of' ' $2;000, was among the very first hav- j ' mg gone over the top on the second ; ' day of the campaign. The total i | amount pledged by the local con. 1 ' btitueney; including church members, Ladies Circle and Sunday School, also , f a very few friends out side the mem- j bership; forty-one pledges in all ag j gregating in round number $2842.1 This is payable in weekly and month- i ly payments during four years. The | L highest monthly pledge being $5.00. The benevolence of the Nogales Baptist is not confined wholly to j Denominational lines, as they are con i tributing to the Arizona Orphan* j Home at Tucson, feeding an Ar menian orphan and contributing to | • several other worthy objects. Why j ' not? Is not our Commission that of service? W. J. GORDON. Next Wednesday afternoon the Santa Cruz Club Auxiliary will hold a social meeting at the Club Rooms, and an excellent program is in course of preparation by the hostesses hav ing in charge the function. All mem bers are invited. Contrasted Cost Os Electric (Continued from Page 1) For 30,250 candle power the Arizona Company charged $591. This was a charge measured through a meter and charged by measurement. All the juice the meter showed was charged. The Norales Company charged a flat rate. The Town paid a stated sum for each light,, whether the voltage wa s all the candle power the lamp was supposed to give or less. In the system used by the Nogales Company the voltage decreases with distance from the plant, as the lights supplied consume the juice. So many ot the lights installed by that company were not up to full candle power. Actual tests with a meter showed that the . fell from 15% of their candle power to 50%. It was like the pressure ol ( water in a pipe. Each user takes some of the pressure, and those at a dis tance do not get the same pressure as those on the same main close to the ■ reservoir. So the Roy & Titcoml; concern could not anti did not deliveV in ; all their lights the full candle power registered. In the system used by the Arizona Company the current goes ;nto the j last lamp on a line with the same force as into the first, and the lights of ( the same candle power are uniform throughout the city, which was not the ( case when the Roy & Titcomb concern was lighting the streets. ] At a charge of $591 made by the Arizona Company for delivery of , , Ju2so candle power, the cost to the city was $0,019, which is just one-half ] pei single qujdle power paid the Nogales Company: $0.03,8. Spelled out the city paid the Arizona one and nine-tenths cents for each candle power, while it paid the Nogales Company three and eight tenths cents per candle i power. The Roy & Titcomb concern charged double for the same amount of light that the other company charges. And, as shown above their ec- l tual delivery was not and could not be as large as their theoretical delivery. ( Had the Roy & Titcomb concern delivered 30,250 candle power or near- < iy four times the candle power they did deliver (7,835,. while the Arizona ' Company did deliver 30,250 candle power) the Roy & Titcomb bill would t have been $1167.801 instead of 591.00, the sum paid the Arizona Company. < So, of that rate, for the entire period of eight months had the Roy & Titcomb concern delivered lighting that registered the same as the month : shown, they would have collected $9,342.40, instead of the $8,082.82 they did ( collect; and their demand would have been $3,931.70 greater than that of j .the Arizona Company, instead of $2827.88 less, as shown in the Herald Fri- i day even in. c THE DAILY MOIiNINU OASIS : CONGREGATIONAL CHURCH Sunday, May 9th, 1920. j Church School, 10 a. m.

A well known republican who is voting the Democratic ticket this year, said to “The Oasis” editor yes. terday: “Roy & Titcomb have had a square deal on that Sacred Cow.” They own her jointly with the City j of Nogales. It is a 50-50 proposi tion; only their 50% is the hind half, j where all the milk comes.” 1 AT THE ROYAL THEATRE Today—Sunday, May 9,1920 Tomorrow—Monday, May 10, 1920 FATTY HUNTING TRIP” “BRANDING BROADWAY” “BOUND AND GAGGED NO. 10” o -v-x “EVERYBODY’S DOING IT” “STEPPING OUT” » ENID BENNETT “FATAL FORTUNE NO. 10” i Mr, Titcomb’s Continued From Page One) As asserted repeatedly in these , j columns Mr. Clagett was and is in terested in the Roy & Titcomb Inc., ! | and every time he sat in the council ' and a demand was paid Roy & Tit comb he performed an illegal act,, for which he was liable to criminal prosecution. But this article is to deal with Mr. Titcomb’s alleged wholesale prices. In that Demand No. 1143, there is an item of $33.20, for renewals of street lamps. It goes into details, showing where" the renewals were in stalled. And then it ends with this recapitulation: Recapitulation:— 1—25 W Mazda Lamp at 35c $0.35 j 11—40 W Mazda Lamp at 35c 3.85 19—60 W Mazda Lamp at 50c 9.50 j B—IOOW Type C ” ” 1.50 12.00 3—200 Type C ” ” 2.50 7.50- TOTAL ....$33.20 “The Oasis” has submitted to vari ous concerns in Nogales dealing in electric lighting supplies, Demand No. 1143. with the recapitulation at tached, and they quote the following prices as prevailing in Nogales at that time, and what, had they sold them over their counters, to retail I customers they would have made the charges read this way: : I—25W Mazda Lamp at 35c $0.35 11—40 W Mazda Lamp at 35c 3.85 19—60 W Mazda Lamp at 45c 8.55 B—IOOW Type C Lamp at 1.10 8.80 3—2001 V Type C Lamp at 2.20 6.60 TOTAL $28.15 So that is what Mr. Titcomb calls ] “the courtesy of wholesale prices.” In one small account of $33.20 the | Town of Nogales paid Roy & Tit comb $5.05 more than other dealers assure “The Oasis” they would have sold the same identical articles for and were selling them across their counters in the course of trade at that time. The .same dealers quoted tell “The Oasis” that the lamps quoted at 85c in December, 1916, sell now for forty cents, those sold at 45c, sell now at 50c; and that there is no change in the prices of the other two—sl.lf and $2.20 respectively. But observe how skillfully the de mand is made to evade detection of overcharge. In the small lamps 25W . and 40W lamps, used by everybody the prices were put at the going sell ing prices; but when it came to entry of the prices for larger lamps, with which most people were and are un familiar, the prices went above the euitrent retail prices, and w«re not “the eourtery of wholesale prices” alleged by Mr. Titcomb. Instead of being “the courtesy of wholesale prices,” as alleged by Mr. Titcomb, the price charged by Roy & Titcomb for those commodities charged in Demand 1143, was about 16% higher than the .Town would have had to pay had they bought them at any other place we hpvc cited. The question naturally arisen: Has “the coutrtesy of wholesale prices,” in all the business done by Roy & Titcomb in the two years that their Mr. Clagett was mayor, ran 16% higher than the same commodities could have been purchased at retail from other dealers? If it does, and the $24,649.39s paid Roy & Titcomb by the Town of No- , gale s in those two years that their Mr. Clagett was mayor, was 16% more than the same commodities J could have been purchased for else where, then the Town of Nogales paid Roy & Titcomb the sum of $3400.00 ( more than should have been paid. If these calculations are correct keep of “the Sacred Cow,"’ through * two years Roy & Titcomb’s Mr. Clagett was mayor, cost the Town of Nogales the handsome sum of s34oo.oo—more than $1700.00 per an- < uum. i I ...i . | URBALEJO JOINED SONORA 1 £ General Francisco Urbalejo and his regiment of Yaquis joined the rev- j olutionary movement on Thursday, t or just in time to get onto the band , wagon before the end of the revolu tion came by the capture of Presi dent Carranza.
