CARRIES M DAG -ON
STREET NIONTH
IN HUNT FOR OMR
To recover a handbag and purBe lost
a month ago, and to learn that the
finder, . after carrying it about the
streets several days in the hope that
the owner would see and claim it, had
only just discovered its ownership
could be traced by a bank book it con
tained, was the experience yesterday
of Miss Osa Halden, 727 East Adams
street, an employe of the state engi
neer's office.
Miss Halden lost her handbag, con
taining a bank book and a purse with
a sum of money, a month ago. Ef
forts to find it were fruitless, and at
last Miss Halden -gave up the search.
Yesterday, however, she received a
telephone messag from a local bank,
saying a man with a handbag thought
to be hers was there, and asking if
she would come and identify it. She
did so, and found the handbag was
hers, and that it contained everything
in it at the time it was lost.
The finder was Mick Gin, an elderly
man of foreign birth, who had found
the purse a month before at Fourth
avenue and Adams street. He said
he had made efforts to find the owner
of the purse, but had failed to do so.
He added that he had even gone so far
as to carry the handbag around the
streets in his hand, in hopes that the
owner would chance to meet b,im. It
was only yesterday that it occurred
to him that ownership could probably
be determined by the bank from which
the bank book had come, and he ac
cordingly went to the bank.
Gin refused a reward for the return
of the handbag.
o
lY ACT DIRECTLY
Oil STAGE III CASE
An interesting development and one
calculated to bring things to an early
focus in the matter of the Jerome
Union stage line, which persists in
operating a line between Jerome and
Prescott over the new state highway in
disregard of the refusal of the corpora
tion commission to give it a permit of
convenience and necessity, took place
yesterday when the commission issued
a citation to the corporation and the
principal officers of the company to
appear on August 25 at 10 o'clock and
show cause why they should not be
punished for contempt, to be ordered
to pay a fine ranging from $500 to
$5000, and have their franchise over tho
Jerome-Clarkdale line cancelled. This
citation was issued at the relation of
the attorney general.
In taking this step the commissi
is not going over new ground fiess
than 60 days ago the Arizora. rJastern
and the Southern Pacific, after fight
ing a similae case through the federal
courts to the court of last resort, paid
to the state fines aggregating $4000 for
a violation of an order of the commis
sion two years ago.
This matter arosp on the complaint
of the Campbell shows. The railroad?
hail entered into a contract with the
Sells-Kioto circus and shows for the
bringing of its cars into Phoenix at a
certain rate and in tho contract agreed
jot to give the same terms to any other

show within a period of SO days pre
ceding the aopearance of the Sells-
Floto shows.
The railroads when questioned by
t Tt r r-rmmi2irTi nntanrlAl thnf in en
tering into the agreement with the
Sells-Floto people they acted in the
capacity of a private and not a public
carrier; that they had followed the

k..ir . vai o. I L II U." mi' - -
the roads that on account of the mixed
character of the traffic, human beings,
monkeys, elephants and horses, they
could not file a tariff.
The commission took tne grouna tnai
if the position of the roads could be
oueta triorl tVtnr act as Orivate
carriers whenever the traffic was
scmewhat out of the ordinary ana tnus
could put themselves largely beyond
regulation. The roads declined to act
upon the order of the commission to
give to the Campbell shows the same
terms that had been given 10 me oeus
Floto shows, and they were cited for
s.stnomt Tho Arizona Eastern was
fined $1500 and the Southern Pacific
$2500. The latter named roaa naa re
rncoH tn riu ii r the Campbell shows
at Tucson, where they had been
brought by the EI lJaso ana oum
western. The two roads took the case to the
federal court and thence to the United
States supreme court, where recently
the corporation commission was sus
tained. This opinion, of course, be
came the supreme law of the land, ap
plying to all roads which had been
hauling show cars under special con-
tTLCtS
Supported as the corporation com
mission has been, the Jerome line will
find little egress from the position in
which it has placed itself in disregard
ing the order of the commission.
AIDED BY WEATHER
Rainfall over the range sections of
the state has been generally sufficient
to keep pastures in condition, accord
ing to advice received by the weather
Bureau, and in Cochise county the
range shows improvement. At Pine
dale no rain has. fallen for two weeks
and is badly needed. However to the
east, over the northern plateau and in
northwestern New Mexico water and
feed are sufficient to abundant. The
heaviest rainfall for the week, 2.50
inches, occurred at Seligman and
Douglas reports 1.07 inch, while at
Flagstaff, "Williams, Ash Fork and
Pinedale little or no rain fell. In spite
of the generally dry summer the pros
pects for winter feed are good. The
rains of last winter and spring, follow
ing the very wet summer of '1919
caused a free growth of the various
brouse plants and shrubs which will
be available for the coming winiar.
Cattle continue in fair to excellent
condition and it is reported from the
Apache Indian reservation that they
will enter the winter in better shape
than last fall.
Under the influence of dry weather
cotton has continued to make better
than normal progress. Fruiting is
heavy and, with a few local excep
tions, shedding has been light. Mod
erately high winds in both the Yuma
and Salt River valley sections caused
but very slight damage. In dry farm
ing sections the season is becoming
pretty well advanced for material
benefit from later rains. In the re
gions where rainfall has been abun
dant the crops are good, but inv most
parts of the state rainfall has not been
sufficient end all crops have suffered.
Locally eorae complete failures are re
ported bit in most sections the yield
will "justify harvesting. Temperatures
were low in the north central portion
of the state on the 14th, Flagstaff and
Williams reporting minima of 42 de
grees. Pinto reports the , nights too
cool for gardens. ,
FIND BODY OF Ml
Hanging from the rafters of the W. J.
Obsorn hay shed In Peoria, the body of
an unknown man was found yesterday
morning by Sam E. Turner, a railroad
clerk in Peoria. A coroner's jury re
turned a verdict that death was self
inflicted by hanging. The body had
been dead for several days and the
nationality of the man could not be
determined. The age is thought to hav
been about 61 years.
A scratch pad found in the pocket
of the trousers bore a name on a page
of "John Blumer." It was written witn
a lead pencil and is not. thought to be
the name of the man. The shed in
which the body was found was open
on two sides and the body could easily
be seen, but was not discovered until
yesterday. H. G. Tuckey stated that
he Baw the body Monday evening from
the train and thought that some one
was trying to get into the loft of the
shed.

The part taken by the American
Legion in the disturbances at Denver
incident-to the late tramway strike is
set out in a circular' Issued by the na
tional adjutant of the legion in the
following bulletin received yesterday
at the state headquarters of the le
gion: The following official report from
the adjutant of the department or
Colorado, the American Legion, on the
part played by legion members during
the recent street car strike in Denver,
is quoted for the information of all
concerned:
"On Aug. 1. the tramway union men
of this city went on a strike. On
Wednesday, Aug. 4. cars witn armea
strike-breakers were started. On
Thursday, Aug. 5, about 5 p. m., two
cars were attacked at Fifteenth and
California streets by a mob. From my
Investigation this mob was not com
posed of members of the tramway
union. Several were wounded and hurt
in this riot. On the same evening, at
Colfax and Logan streets, four more
cars were attacked by rioters, this mob
for the most part being composed of
youths between the ages of 14 and 20.
Then they proceeded to the Denver
Post, a daily newspaper, and there be
gan to destroy it. The mob then went
to the south side car barn and, upon
starting an attack there, was fired up
on by strike-breakers, resulting in the
death of two men and several wound
ed. One of the men killed in this riot
was an American Legion man from
Kansas, who was an innocent by
stander. "At midnight, the governor called a
meeting of the commanders of the
Denver posts and some of the members
of the Denver central committee of
the American Legion, asking for their
assistance in quelling these riots. A
meeting was held at 1:30 a. m., at
which time they decided to place the
matter before each post, and the Amer
ican Legion members were not to take
any part directly or indirectly but
were to patrol the residence districts.

as all the poiice officers were being
brought to the downtown districts.
This matter was placed before the
Denver posts and volunteersTcniled for.
The American Legion as an organiza
tion did not take any part.- About 4
o'clock Friday these volunteers were
mobilized and sworn in as deputy
sheriffs. "Friday evening a mob threatened
to attack the East Denver car barn
and was fired upon by the strike
breakers, killing three men and injur
ing men and children. The American
Legion members were sent out to quell
the riot. The American Legion mem
bers were demobilized Saturday night.
During the time they were on duty
they acted as 1 traffic officers and
patrolled the residence districts and
helped in quelling the riots. There was
not a shot fired while they were on
duty or any trouble whatsoever start
ed. Also during this time not a car
was run or any attempt made to run
same. We have heard very little com
plaints against their action, but, to the
contrary, praise.
"As far as I have been atle to ascer
tain the union men have had nothing to
do with these mobs, but to the con
trary were against any violence. No
one can rightfully claim that the
American Legion took any part direct
ly or indirectly in the strike. The
members only helped to maintain law
and order against rioting and a bunch
of hoodlums."

National Adjutant.
