GLENDALE, May 5. John Spill
man, 42 years old, living with his
brother, William Spiiiman, west of
Glendale on Lateral 20, and one-half
mile north of Glendale avenue, was
found dead early Thursday morning,
having committed suicide during the
night by cutting his throat with a
razor. Mr. Spiiiman came to Glen
dale some six weeks ago from Hous-
ton, Tex., for his health. During the
j time he had been here he complained
of pains in his head.
Mr. Spiiiman was sleeping in a
screen house in the rear of the Spill
man home, and about midnight he
was heard moving about in his room.
No cause for worry was given, how
ever, as he frequently arose at night.
William Spiiiman went out to call
him for breakfast the next morning
and found the bed clothing turned
back and the body lying on the floor,
the dead man clutching the razor
with which he had taken his life. The
coroner was notified and a Jury gave
a verdict of death from self-inflicted
wounds.
John Spiiiman leaves a wife and
three children, all living in Houston,
Texas. Word has ben sent to Mrs.
Spiiiman and no funeral arrange
ments will be made until she is heard
from.

ESTATE IN ARGENTINE
Settlement of the estate of John
Noble, former Arizonian, who died
in the Argentine Republic some
months ago, was forwarded yester
day by the appointment by the local
heirs of counsel in Argentine to rep
resent them in the matter. Certified
copies of important, pi.pers to be used
in connection with the case were pre
pared in "he office of the secretary
of state. Caj-los G. Bollaert and Ed
ward M. Roche will represent Mrs.
Jane Noble of Mesa, the widow of
the man who is alleged to have made
a fortune in Buenos Aires, and the
National Bank of Arizona, which
holds a note for $25,000 against the
estate.
Noble bad many financial ups and
downs during his life. He made a
lucky strike in Alaska In the early
days; only to lose his fortune and be
gin over again in Arizona in 18S5
as a sheep herder in Apache county.
He again made money and. came to
Phoenix where he suffered financial
reverses In building operations, losing
his fortune in the construction of the
Noble bu ilding which now houses the
Dorris-Heyman Furniture company
and Goldwater's.
Noble gave out the information that
he was liaving here for New Mexico
to engage in the sheep business, but
all trace of him was lost for months
when he was reported to be In New
"Vork. Later, Mrs. Noble heard of
him through Thomas Cook and Sons,
bankers, and he joined her in Eng
land for a few weeks, later going to
South America, In August, 190S,
Mrs. Noble returned to Arizona and
until three yearg ago she heard fre
quently from her husband, who is
said to have made a fortune in sheep
in Argentine.
Pfflfel Mews
NEW YORK. May 5. Stock sales
today were 1.250.000 shares, the
largest total of any session this year.
The activity was accompanied by
gross gains of one to five points in
nearly every quarter.
Among incidents' which accelerated
the advance were the optimistic views
of Governor Harding of. the federal
reserve board and a concurrent re
duction of the local re-discount rate
for commercial paper.
The latter was generally interpret
ed as proof cf the further relaxation
of credits, the chief obstacles to im
provement in trxde and industry for
six months. Rails dominated, mon
than a score of those issues scoring
advances of one to slightly more than
three points. Features of this group
comprised many of the low grade or
teorganized properties of the western
and southern divisions.
Steels and railway equipments de
rived additional benefit from the
United States Steel wage cut. Steel
ce mmon at its best added nearly an
other point to yesterday's maximum,
but this was shaded later. Improve
ment In the independent steels was
more substantial.
Shorts evidently deemed it advis
able to reverse their position in oils
and motors and the same enforced
procedure accounted for the strength
of shippings, leathers, chemicals and
food issues, where less material gains
were registered.
The usual irregular conditions in
the money market prevailed, call
loans holding firm on the exchange
at 6 per cent, with free offerings in
the open market at 53.
Exchange on London' was barelv
steady, but French, Belgian, Dutch
and Italian rates continued to
strengthen, even the German remit
tance showing slight Improvement.

SAYS DRUGGISTS LAX
N KEEPING RECORDS
According to Humane Officer J. W.
Canning, there is a laxity on the
part of some of the druggists of
Phoenix in the matter of keeping a
record of poison sold. He was led
to an investigation of this state of
uffairs by the great amount of poison
scattered about town for the poison
ing of dogs.
While some of the druggists ap
peared to have been keeping proper
records, as the law requires, there
is no record of such an amount as
has evidently been used.

What is Asphaltic Concrete Pavement? '
Asphaltic concrete pavements consist
of asphalt and mineral aggregate (crushed
rock and sand) heated separately, mixed
at a central plant and laid while still hot.
When cool (within 24 hours) the pave
ment is ready for use. This avoids long
blocking of the street with consequent
public inconvenience and loss, due to
detoured traffic.
Asphaltic concrete is a tough, elastic
pavement well fitted to withstand the
stresses caused by modern traffic.
It is durable, has negligible mainte
nance cost and reasonable first cost
Your community can well adopt the
asphaltic concrete type for the proposed
street improvement now under discus
sion. STANDARD OIL COMPANY
