At the time of thia artistic achieve

Statea wa working hia way through
this Institution, eking out a small al
lowance which his father, Dr. Georsre
Harding, a country doctor, was able to
make him. The world has already been
Informed, since his nomination at Chi
cago last June, that he had painted
many of the barns in the vicinity of
Iberia; that he had worked upon the
grade of the Toledo and Ohio Central
railroad, then building through the
country; but it was not recorded that
anyone had submitted the interior of
a house to his untrained brush. This
work had been done for Dr. W. C. Pen-
OUR PRESIDENT SAYS
"It is my firm belief and honest opinion
that the purchase of some of the first
100,000 shares of stock of the Arizona Film .
Corporation which is now being offered at
the par value of $1.00 per share affords the (
people of Arizona the very best oppor
tunity for a good investment that has ever
been afforded them..
There is probably no other industry in
the world today that is paying greater divi
dends than the manufacture of moving pic
ture film productions.
Located, as we are, in the very center of
the wildest and most picturesque country in
the world, we will be able to make the most
wonderful western pictures ever produced
by any company.
We are investing our own money and are
using our every effort towards having our
studios completed and in operation without
delay.
If the money received from the sale of
the first 100,000 shares of stock proves suf
ficient to put our studios and companies on
a working basis, it will mean that the hold
ers of this original 100,000 shares of stock
will then share equally in the profits of the
remaining 400,000 shares of stock.
We are earnestly inviting your subscrip
tion in whatever amount you are able to
subscribe and earnestly invite you to call at
our offices and make a thorough investiga
tion before this original issue is subscribed."
Sincerely yours,
(Signed) J. B. BAYLESS,'
President Arizona Film Corporation.

Address.
nett, a Democratic politician, who later
sold his office and practice to Dr.
Virtue.
"It was a pretty bum Job," Dr. Ben
nett told me one night a couple of
weeks ago, when I met him on the
streets of Mount Oilead. lut the doc
tor's estimate wan attributed to .par
tisan antagonism, for the doctor is one
of thope who can see nothing goad In
any Republican. Yet the next day,
when 1 stopped in Iberia and saw the
handiwork of Mr. Harding 35 years be
fore, I was compelled to admit that
whatever the prejudice of Dr. Hennett
might be he was not disqualified to
pass judgment on mural decoration as
practiced by Mr. Harding in his col
lege days. The attempt at graining
was "something fierce," and I am as
good a Harding man as ever sailed the!
seven seas.
Dr. Virtue, however, believes that if
Mr. Harding had continued in that field
his name would now stand beside those
of Blashfield. Kenyon Cox. Rogers,
lilum. Crownlnsr ield and Violet Oak
ley. In the view of the doctor, when
Mr. Harding went into journalism, and
later to be lured into politics, a great
artist in embryo was murdered.
Speaking of Mr. Harding in journal
ism, it is not generally known that he
took up that amid the multiplicity of
his activities at Ibera, presumably af
ter all the barns had been painted and
the grade of the T. & O. C. had been
carried so far bjyond Iberia that Mr.
Harding could nDt follow Jt.
With Frank L. Miller, then a fellow
student and now a resident of Iberia,
Mr. Harding started a paper called The
Spectator. It ws to be published oc
casionally. Moors Harding and Miller
canvassed tl'e county seats for miles
around to secuni figures from publish
ers. At last they awarded the contract
for publication to W. G. Beebe, then ss
now the proprietor of the union Reg
istee, a Democratic weekly published
at Mount Gilead.
The friendship of Mr. Miller and Mr.
Harding has leen uninterrupted, so
much so that after the latter's nomi
nation word wns brought to a family
of Republicans, of extensive connection
in Gilead township, that in the event of
the election of Mr. Harding Frank Mil
ler would be riade secretary of state.
Word was brojght to Mr. Miller that
in consequent of this story this fam
ily had all declared" for Oox. But the
dissidents wen) brought batk into the
fold on assurance from Mr. Miller that
ln no circumstances would he accept
that portfolio, as his private business
demanded his attention.
I have mentioned the name of W. G.
Beebe, the publisher. I have known
him intimately for more than 40 years.
never knew what the u stooa ror
and never wcindered; I supposed for
some Christian name. But he con
fided to me ir. a whisper recently that
It was "Gamaliel." He said that that
had always ben kept a family secret,
and but for the fact that Mr. Harding
had recently brazenly flaunted to the
world that he too, had been so handi
capped, the Eeebe secret would never
have been revealed.
Regarding "Gamaliel," on the night
before "traveling men's day" at Marion.
September 25, when 39 trains of the
Knights of the Gripsack from all parts
of the Unite States were converging
toward the front porch, I sat on the
piazza of tn Globe hotel at Mount
Gilead listening to a discussion among
a half score of commercial travelers.
All of them ere Harding men. There
was in the group an objecting Demo
crat of some other vocation, who now
and then ralied his voice in protest.
At length cne of the party inquired:
"What does the O. stand for?" An
other was net quite sure, but believed
he had heard that it was "Gabriel.
whereupon U e lone Democrat observed.
"Well, he'll not blow his trumpet in th
white house tiert March."

APPEALTOOBnEGON

MUST STAY III J!H
Because Gen. Alvaro Obregon, president-elect
of Mexico, refused to come
to the aid of Jose Medina, alias Manuel
Revera, a former captain In the Obre-
gon armies. Medina tiust repine in the
county jail while awaiting trial in the
superior court, instead or gaining ms
freedom by bail, as he had hoped when
he appealed to his former commander-
in-chief for help. Medina, under tne
alla of Revera. is charged with two
counts one of forgery and the other
burglary and was held to answer to
the superior court Saturday afternoon
by Justice McKee after a hearing of
the cases. His bond was fixed at $2000
in the first charge and $1000 in the
second, but Medina failed to make tbe
grade, and went to jail.
Medina was arrested October 2 by
Officer Crowe of the police force as
the man wanted for entering the office
of the Foundation company at the Gil
lespie dam October 1 and taking 84
uncalled for pay chec ks of Mexicans.
When arrested Medina had about 75
of the missing checks in his possession,
it is said. One of the checks, amount-
inlg to $89.83, belonging to a man
named Gus Maas, Medina is alleged to
have cashed at the store of Nat Kohn,
securing some merchandise and the
balance In money. He is charged with
forging the indorsement of Maas to
the check.
After his arraignment early last
week Medina sent a message to Obre
gon, who was attending the Interna
tional exposition at El Paso, to bail
him out. The general wired back stat
iing that he regretted the difficulty his
former captain was in, but that he
could not help him.
According to the testimony of Mar
garita Duarte and. Julian Duarte, Me
dina employed them to drive him to
the Gillespie dam on the night of Octo
ber 1 for $15. They said" he was gone
short time after they arrived at tne
construction camp, and they drove him
back to Phoenix, arriving here about
o'clock the next morning. Medina,
they said, told them he was going to
a certain place to get some money that
friend owed to him and seemed in
a hurry to get back.
Medina, under the name of Revera.
W. J. O'Xeil of the Foundation com
pany said, was employed by them as
janitor in the office there and had a
key to the place. On Thursday, Sep
tember 30. he said Revera asked for a
few days off. saying that tie was com-
inig to Phoenix to get married. On
Friday, O'Neil said, the checks that
were being held for Mexicans who had
failed to call for them were stolen.
Thev amounted to about $3500, he said.
Officer Crowe told of making the ar
rest and finding Medina in a house
back of a poolroom on South Fifth
street between Madison and Jackson
streets Saturday night. October 2. Offi
cer Crowe said that Medina had in his
possession the goods bought at Kohn's
store with one of the checks. In his
grins and in the foot of the bed. the
officer said, the remainder of the
checks, numbering about 75 in all. were
found. Medina also had some of the
checks In his pocket, Crowe declared.
Medina offered no testimony in de
fense.

NEGRO MILLIONAIRE DIES
WEST COLUMBIA. Texas. Charles
Brown, who died here recently, was
probably the wealthiest negro, and
one of the most unostentatious, in the
world. He was 90 years old. and his
fortune is estimated at $2,000,000. His
property included 3.600 acres of land,
much of it in the' oil fields and under
lease. He was also a successful
farmer.
Brown's manner of living did not
change as his fortune grew, and he
lived quietly. A few days before his
death he was seen driving a farm
wagon. He leaves several children.
