Return Run From Miami
To Phoenix Made In 3
Hours, 35 Minutes; Road
Will Be Closed Again In
10 Days
What the new Superior-Miami
highway ultimately will mean to
Phoenix and the Salt River valley
was demonstrated yesterday at the
first temporary opening of the high
way when a car. driven by Hugh
Daggs. was driven from Miami to
Phoenix, over an unfinished highway,
in three hours and 35 minutes. When
this highway is completed, the dis
tance can easily be made In three
hours, it was stated.
Four cars carrying Phoenix people.
representatives of the state highway
department and the chamber of com
merce, left Phoenix at 9:30 o'clock
yesterday morning to make the first
trip over the highway to Miami.
Among those in the party were
Thomas Maddock, state engineer; F.
N. Holmquist, assistant state engi
neer; J. W. Moore, engineer for the
federal bureau of public roads: Guy
Chism, representing the chamber of
commerce; Hugh Daggs, Tom Pres
cott, O. B. Ruggles. Joseph McAleer,
Judson King of the Union Auto Stage
company. A representative of the
Kunselman-Harpe company was
with the party and took motion pic
tures at several points along the
highway.
Arriving at Superior at noon, the
party was met by a large delega
tion from Miami headed by Cleve
Van Dyke and Representative Will
iam J. Barry. The party took din
ner at the state construction camp.
The new Superior-Miami highway
shortens the distance between Phoe
nix and Miami by 30 miles. Half
way from Superior to Miami the
road reaches a height of 5.000 feet.
A tunnel 240 feet in length is a por
tion of the heavy construction of the
highway. The length of the high
way from Phoenix to Miami is 88.4
miles. From Superior to Miami it is
21 miles in length.
The new highway will remain open
for 10 days, when it again will be
closed and work resumed. It is ex
pected to be completed in five or six

be held as collateral security for the
payment of the 18 notes executed by
the other defendants on January 2

the case give Christy a foreclosure
of the mortgage on the Avondale land
given for the 18 notes and also the
foreclosure of a pledged lien on the
mortgage given for the five notes.
RESIGilFmEAS
It became known a day or two ago
that the firm of Kibbey and Bennett
had resigned its office as counsel for
the county highway commission,
which it had held since the organiza
tion of the commission two years ago.
This step had been expected since
the association of Attorney John I-.
Gust and Judge Frank O. Smith with
the law firm, as Mr. Gust had for
some years been counsel for Warren
Bros.
The highway commission yester
day made public the following letter
of resignation:
Maricopa County Highway Com
mission, Phoenix, Arizona,
Gentlemen:
It has just been brought to our at
tention that Messrs. Gust and Smith,
with whom our late firm of Kibbey.
Bennett and Jenckes has been con
solidated, have been for a long time
attorneys for some concerns whose
interests may not in the future co
incide with the interests of the Mar
icopa county highway commission.
While up to the present time nothing
has developed which would render
the connection of the new firm with
these concerns incompatible with our
firm continuing to act as attorneys
for the highway commission we feel
that such incompatibility might pos
sibly arise in the future.
We therefore request that yon re
lieve us from further responsibility
as the legal adviser of your com
mission from this date forward.
We sincerely regret necessity for
this action, as our relation with your
commission has been uniformly
pleasant, but we feel that it is bet
ter to discontinue this relation and
thus avoid all possible contingen
cies that might subject us or your
commission to criticism.
Yours truly.
K1RHET. BENNETT, GIST
AND SMITH.

nainting. and a well executed one. of
a man of middle age whose identity
cannot be recalled by the oldest ha
bitues of the state house, and some
of the men who are there came in
with statehood. The name of the
artist does not appear, but those who
have seen it compare his work with
the portraits on the walls of the
governor's and the secretary's rooms
as well as those in the legislative
chambers.
"That was done by an artist." say
the critics who gaze at the mysteri
ous portrait, meaning that the other
portraits about the building were
done by people who were not artists.
This room is one of those occupied
by the board of control after the ter
ritory was admitted to statehood,
?"he picture was there them and it
was then that inquiry began to be
made concerning the identity of the
subject. That room had previously
been .occupied by various territorial
boards, among them the railway
commission. ,
State Historian James H. McClin
tock was called in and, though he
has known every man of prominence
who has flourished in Arizona within
the last 40 years, that is, every man
who has flourished to an extent which
would warrant the painting of a life
size portrait of him and the enclos
ing of it in a massive gilt frame, he
could not say that he bad ever seen
the original.
Many persons hazily recall that
they saw the picture there soon after
the occupancy of the building in
ihoo. But it is the picture of no
former governor of the territory, of
no secretary and of no sneaker of
the- assembly and of no president of
the legislative council. All such offi
cers and dignitaries are accounted
for by their portraits in the executive
offices and the legislative chambers.
The face bears a quizzical, inscrut
able smile as if defying gazers to fix
us jaentity.

happiness of the sick and wounded

FIGURES IN CASE
ARGUED ON APPEAL
The case of Agiteknos Hellene was
argued in supreme court yesterday
on his appeal from a judgment of
the superior court of this county
more than a year ago. in which he
was held to be guilty of conducting
a confidence game with success up to
a certain point.
It will be recalled that nearly two
years ago a Greek complained to
the authorities that a scheme into
which he had been inveigled by Agi
teknos for engaging in competition
with the United States government
had gone awry and with it about
$2,000 of his own hard-earned money.
The defendant and appellant had
represented to the complainant that
he was the possessor and inventor
of a machine for turning out green
backs, treasury notes, silver and gold
certificates the equal in artistic
merit to those issued by the govern
ment. The device was a small affair with
a lot of mysterious rollers and was
said to have concealed in its "inards"
certain dies or plates for printing
the money. The appellant demon
strated the operation of the device
to the satisfaction of the complain
ant. The operation appeared to be a
very simple one. though the ma
chinery was quite complex. Pieces
of blank paper cut into the dimen
sions of the. treasury note or other
bill desired were inserted into the
machine and shortly there emerged
a new, handsomely printed evidence
of the government's Indebtedness.
But it appeared that some new
plates or dies were needed and they
were very expensive. It was to se
cure them that the appellant wanted
$2,000 of the complainants money.
The complainant saw no renson why
he should not have it. With that
kind of a machine they could grind
out $2,000 in the course of an even
ing. The money was turned over to
the appellant, and soon thereafter
something occurred to excite the sus
picion pf the complainant, who went
to the authorities ahout it.
A hurried raid was made upon the
room of the appellant, a suitcase
was seized, and It was found to con
tain the money manufacturing de
vice. It was upon that evidence,
together with the story of the com
plainant that the appellant was con
vk ted. The word of the complainant
alone would not have been sufficient
It would have been his word against
that of the appellant, "horse and
horse." "fifty-fifty," and when things
break that wav the defendant is al
ways the beneficiary.
It was the contention ot the ap
pellant, as outlined by his attorney,
Mr. Struckmeyer, yesterday that the
state was not entitled to that evi
dence. It had been seized in contra
vention of the fourth amendment to
the federal constitution and in vio
lation of a provision of the state
constitution. The seizure had been
effected without a warrant. The mat
ter was then taken under advise
ment. Superior Judge Lyman snt with the
supreme court In tha absence 'of
Justice McAllister. - I
Earlier in the day the court handed I
down an opinion in the case of J. H.I
Maxey. appellant, against the Sora-j
erton bank, appellee, from Yuma
county, affirming the judgment of
the lower court.
In the case of Maxey and his wife,
appellants, ntrainst the Somerton
bank, the judement of the lower court
was reversed, with the directions to
enter Judgment for the appellant as
prayed for in the complaint, includ
ing a reasonable attorney's fee to be
fixed by the lowflr court.
The arguments in the case of Blos
som Sage, appellant, asrainst John
Stephens .appellee. from Yavapai
county, were concluded.
