WEEKLY JOURNAL-MINER, WEDNESDAY MORNING, DECEMBER 7, 1921 PAGE THREE INSPECT fillS MASONRY PUNS WITH ENGINEER Members Prescott Construction Engineering Co. and Others Look Over Specifications for Work Near Jer,ome, Mayer BIDS MAY COME IN FROM LOCALITIES Standard Specifications of State Engineering Dept. Adopted by Commission, Using State Ex perience, Facilities- Chris Totten, Cb V. ' Wold and others inspected the complete plans and specifications for the masonry work on the highway commission roads near Jerome and Mayer at the office of the commission yesterday morning. "And you need not believe," said Major Long, the office engineer, "that I drew these maps and profiles and cross sections all in a day." The major was alluding to a wail ing misstatement appearing in a sus picious publication the day before, charging that the commission had called for bids without having speci fications ready. Messrs. Wold and Totten are members of the Prescott Construc tion Engineering company, contrac tors on the Scdona road, who appar ently are intending to bid on the masonry walls to be built near Mayer and on the Jerome-Cottonwood roads. The commission is hopeful that the localities affected will bring in the successful bids so as to provide local interest in the road program, and give employment to a number of idle workmen, but the contracts will be awarded strictly in accordance with the rules of bidding, to the lowest and best bidder. In line with the policy of the com mission of providing the best pos sible in everything, the engineering department has adopted the standard specifications of the state highway department. A large bundle of print ed copies of the standard all-inclusive specifications of the state highway department were received by mail by the commission yesterday. Instead of the state engineer "taking over" the highway commission, the latter is taking over the state engineer and using him a,nd his office and assist ants ' aii'd facilities for all they can be ijseU or. It" was. 'explained yesterday that good engineering practice, had been at work for four or five years on the state specifications, and that accu mulated 'knowledge is not going to be lost. This will satisfy most folks, but will not be easily digested by the chronic suspecters. LAW POINT IS G T Jerome Man Released on Tech nicality, Immediately Rearrest ed; 'is Charged With Theft of Jewelry Worth $355 From Fridays Dally) Stuart McCormick, charged with the theft from C M. Wayne, man ager of the Hammond house, at Je rome, of jewelry valued in the ag gregate at $355, yesterday was re leased from custody on a technicality of law. Then he was immediately rearrested by Deputy Sheriff Bert Hoffman and placed in the county jail. ' The release took place at a hear ing before Judge John J. Sweeney in division one of the superior court, when Judge Sweeney granted a mo tion for dismissal by Defense Coun sel P. W.. O'Suilivan, of O'Sullivan & Morgan, on the grounds that the complaint in the case had not been filed within 30 days after the pre liminary in the justice court, which took place before Judge Clyde B. Jones, justice of the peace for the Jerome precinct, on October 25. Bond in the sum of $750 was fixe'd at that time by Judge Jones. McCormick is accused of having committed grand larceny on Septem ber 5, by taking from the apartment of C M. Wayne at the Hammond house, a diamond solitaire" ring val ued at $240, an 18-karat gold watch chain valued at $85 and a gold medal valued at $30. COTTON MARKET NEW YORK, Dec 1. Cotton closed steady at a net loss of 28 to T 53 points IS DEMAND OE THROf'EMOUT IMAU.P. PHOENIX, Dec. 1. The demand made by California republicans to "throw 'em out," referring, of course, tp the democrats holding federal jobs there, is being echoed in Arizona, where members of the G. O. P. who think their services have- entitled them to patronage recognition, are beginning to chafe under the collar and murmur that hope long delayed markeththe heart sick and incident ally depleteth the pocketbook. Outside of the appointments of collector of customs at Nogales and receiver of the U. S. land office at Phoenix, federal -plums' have not yet dropped in this territory. Another exception, J. L. T. Walters, has been named postmaster at Duncan, Green lee county, succeeding a democrat. But the. faithful are anxiously waiting to see who will step into the shoes of U. S. Marshal Joe Dillon, U. S. District Attorney Flynn, Internal Revenue Collector Franklin and Scott White pf the U. S. land office. Although Senator Cameron's slate is public knowledge, there are some of a trpsting nature, who hope to upset- it. T. J. Sparkes of Phoenix is slated for DilloiVs job, .Fritz Bern ard of Tucson is to be U. S. district attorney while Senator Brown of Casa Grande will succeed White. There may be only one- change in the writing as there is talk that Win. Alden, a moving picture proprietor of Globe, has a good chance to sup plant Sparkes in the final re-arrange ment. Ed Stephens, secretary of the livestock sanitary board, is to get a place in the department of justice and it looks certain that Roy David son of Jerome will be remembered in some way, perhaps with a consu lar post, to his liking. M'ain interest centers, however, in the. office of internal revenue col lector, for which Frank ..Stewart of Phoenix has the call. It is the onljr open appointment, that is the only one in which the holder serves at the pleasure of the president, instead of for a fixed term of years. About next January, it is expected, the heads will begin to fall into the bas ket which will make Arizona repub lican both from a state and federal office-holding standpoint. TALKS TO BROTHER, Ray Langdell Given Ten Day Term for Talking to Roy Langdell in Violation of the Law (From Friday's Dally) Rov Langdell. held by the county pending trial on a charge connected with the 'disappearance of automo bile tires from Prescott motor cars' recently, was in jail.' His brother, Ray Langdell,. was not, and he want ed to talk to Roy.- So yesterday morning he did so, from the court house grounds. A ' few moments later he found himself in the justice court, pleading to a charge of conversing with pris oners in violation of the law! He was informed by Justice of the Peace C. H. McLane that conversing with prisoners was permissible on$ when done on the inside of the building with permission from -the authorities. .'And." said the justice, "since you have been warned two or three times before not to talk to prisoners from outside the building, I shall have to ilk things so you can do it from the inside." And he sentenced the pris oner to ten days in jail. Here, how ever, the, irony of circumstance slip ped in, and Ray Langdell finds that although he can talk to his brother Roy as freely as he likes, his brother can'f hear him, being too far away. PHOENIX, Dec 1 Arizona, with every other state in the union "said it with flowers" at Washington on Armistice day.

Action of the Arizona commission of agriculture and horticulture in placing inspectors on the highways entering Arizona for the purpose of intercepting cot ton seed, used cotton pickers' sacks and the like, products that might carry the dreaded boll weevil and pink boll worm, has had the desired effect of preventing a number of automobile ' tourists and immigrants from' 'unwittingly bringing contra material into the cotton growing dis tricts of Arizona and California, ac cording to reports of State Ento mologist Mote. One case in particular where a batch of short staple seed cotton was taken from a Phoenix-bound automobile tourist, who was bring ing it back to show growers of the famous Pima long staple who hatf never seen short staple. The Mexi can cotton boll weevil was found in this batch of short staple cotton. (From Friday's Dally) School work in the several county schools in the Verde valley is pro gressing well, according to a report given out yesterday by Mrs. Ward H. Wheeler, county superintendent of schools, following a visit to schools at Willard, Clemenceau, Je rome and Clarkdale. At Willard, in addition to excel lent study records, pupils ,of' the school last Saturday gave a box so cial which was well attended by people of the -district. This school is taught by Miss Helen Shaper, principal, . and her assistant, Helena Rogers. Though a good enrollment is seen at Clemenceau, it is smaller this year than last, necessitating fewer teach ers. This year there are nine teach ers to the 13 at Clemenceau last term. Good work is being done in all grades, Mrs. Wheeler said, by the' following: Florence A. Bab- cock, principal, ' teaching first grade; Miss Claudia Swanson, Miss Delma Currier, Miss Agnes Holmes, 'Miss Minnie Benson, Miss Lorrain Win- terfield, Mrs. Lora Chalmers, Miss Marian Parker and Miss Meeks. Jerome and Clarkdale schools are all doing excellent work under the able (Stiperintendency of W. R. Hull, Clarkdale, and J. O. Mullen, Jerome, both of whom were elected to posi tions in the Arizona State Teachers' association at Its convention in Phoe nix recently. Superintendent Mullen was named treasurer of the associa tion, and Superintendent Hull presi dent of the Arizona school adminis trators section of the association. Attendance at Jerome and Clark dale, Mrs. Wheeler said, is fairly good considering conditions. Journal-Miner Liners Get Results.

Keenan in Mouth With a Rock; Assault Aggravated (From Friday's Dally) William Sriiith will pass six months in the county jail for assaulting II. M. Keenan last week, striking him in the mouth with a rock. The sen tence was imposed in the justice court yesterday by Justice of he Peace C. H. McLane ' Smith, according to the story told the officers, stopped , Keenan as he was walking peacefully along with an armful of bundles, seized a rock and struck him in the mouth with it while Keenan was defenseless. The assault, Justice McLane said yesterday, was aggravated, in that Smith had "promised" to whip Keenan, his employer, if the latter fired him as he had declared he would. Ke.enan kept his promise, and the fired employe kept his. Then, Justice McLane said, Smith threatened to whip Keenan again if his victim had him arrested. So the justice gave Smith time in which to think the matter over. OE BUT IT HERE Opinion of Attorney General Out lines Appointive Power of County Prosecutors (From Friday's Pally) County attorneys of second class counties in Arizona must beat their boards of supervisors to it if they want a chief deputy at the maximum salary of $150 a month, according to an opinion handed down yesterday by the attorney general of Arizona. Where the board resolves that a deputy is not necessary, the hands of the county attorney are tied. Should the deputy be appointed, however, the board then has no power to revoke or modify the ap pointment, the opinion holds. Concurrent action of a county of ficer and the board of supervisors is required in the appointment of other than chief deputies, the opinion con tinues, in answer to a second in quiry. In those cases, the board has the power to fix salary, but it has no power to name a deputy for; an officer without the officer's consent.' In other words, the appointing pgwer is vested in the officer,? but the board must approve the appoint ment. Journal Miner Liner to do it quicklyt T I FLORENCE E. GOLD CO.
