PAGE TWO WEEKLY JOURNAL-MINER WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 29, 1922. MILTON TO . H. CI STIFF t Young Astronomer, Formerly of Lowell Observatory, Goes to Harvard Institution to Contin ue His Studies of Mars. (From Thursdays Daily! George Hall Hamilton, M. A., left here Tfiesday for the northern part of the state with Mrs. Hamilton, and a'ter winding up his- business affairs in Arizona, will go at once to Ja maica, to join the staff of the Har vard College observatory there. Mr. Hamilton has responded to an invita tion by V. H. Pickering, the distin guished Harvard astronomer, to turn his talents to the work of planetary astronomy, in which the Jamaica ob servatory is planning extensive in vestigations. The young astronomer is a son of Mr. and Mrs. J. McLurc Hamilton of Kingston - on - Thames, England, who have been visiting the? young couple here. He early distinguished himself for his interest in the fasci nating science, for on his seventh birthday, he asked for a present tickets to a lecture by Sir Robert Ball on the planets. He displayed such an extensive knowledge of de scriptive astronomy that when visit ing the Lick observatory in California Prof V. W. Campbell, its director, asked his parents to 'leave him so that he might have greater advan tages than are usually given to stu dents of the subject. Prof. Campbell then supervised Hamilton's general education, and later, he was grad uated from Trinity College, Cam bridge, and look his M. A. degree. He worked for two years under Prof. H. H. Turner at the university observatory, Oxford. In 1917, he joined the staff of Dr. Percival Lowell on Mars Hill, at Flagstaff and remained there after Dr. Lowell's death until last June when he came to Prescott to be near a mining ven ture jn which he was interested. Hamilton will be a valuable addi tion to the Jamaica staff. .His astron omical studies have been carried on under the guidance of three, famous scientists, Sir Robert Ball, at Cam bridge, England; Prof. H. H. Turner at Oxford and Dr. Lowell at Flag-i staff, and now he continues his career under Dr. Pickering. An inherited gift for drawing his father is a distinguished portrait painter is a valuable asset in graphically describing the aspects of the planets. Mrs. Hamilton is an ac complished mathematician, and for a number of years has been prominent in precision work. PLIIlSlffI fin mm If the Badgers arc willing to play a post-season football game on the home gridiron, and give Prescott fans a last chance to see the northern Arizona high school champions in action, the city football team is wil ing to try bucking the Badger line, it was made known yesterday by Percy Forgays. A statement in the Badger notes yesterday morning that the coining game with Clarkdale will be the local eleven's last year, decided the city players to seek a final contest and give the home spectators the benefit of a gridiron struggle between two .groups of Prescott players. "Let the Badgers know we are willing to play them and want to get a post-season game with them,'' lorgays said. "We will expect them to answer our challenge." Kenneth Harrison, captain of the T'.adgcr team, said last night that the high school players have been thru a hard season and are fairly well tired of football as well' as anxious to be gin the basketball season in good trim. He did not think the Badgers v.ould accept the city team's chal lenge, although the town players arc hoping to put the game through. ATTRACTIVE DISPLAY In connection with the extensive s-ics campaign which the Lytoua I -king Powder company is conduct ing in Prescott this week, the E. A. Kastncr grocery has an unusually at tractive window featuring this well k ion brand of leavencr. Cans of I.jtona baking powder, in every size irom the smallest to the largest, arc rvramided against a background of highly colored streamers setting forth tTu merits of Lytona. The labels of t;.c cans are red and orange, and the r.ritr, are lithographed in liar-1 i 'vn.: culors, giving an attractive j cifect IFWPLFS Paul Plummer Describes Flap per Football Burlesque That Enlivens Interval of New Mex ico Game; Great Class Conflict (From Ttiurseay's Dally) By PAUL PLUMMER As you undoubtedly know, the Wildcats defeated the New Mexicans 10-0. How we ever did it, I don't know, for our team is getting pretty well crippled up. If this continues we arc certain of defeat in the game this Saturday, with Rice Institute. It is to be hoped though, that our team will get over its crippledness. At pres ent it looks as if Arizona might not be able to play a post-season game.' The war of this week was slight, neither the sophs nor frosh accom plishing much. The sophs wore a paper ribbon on which was printed 25; we 'own the earth." It is need - less to say that these didn't last long, but no war followed. Between "halves of the game yes terday, the frosh staged a play in many acts, entitled "Desert Sirens." About 50 frosh boys, dolled up in flapper togs-and say, do you knowjlicf that he was Suilty of "ling tW , 1nt nf fl, Vrosrnft mnfhnr.l11 cr. ana Iliai sue nau laier wouldn't know their own darling sons? Well, to continue the plot, the thinners flanned: thev broueht the audience to tears from laughing, ofjuno order of JudSc Lce- course. Max Eschcr and Charles Su dcr formally made "their debut as dancers, flirting with spring, inter - preting the rollicking, frolicking brook and tight-rope walkers sitting on the grass. I tell you those flap pers were the toughest things on the Chilean market. The reason 'I know is because they played a game of football. I never saw two teams so evenly matched and well trained. They had a million and one -different shifts and every one of them was a wonder, because they scored a touch down every time. I'll endeavor to explain a few of these shifts to you. The Nogales Swoon was a play in which the offense formed in a circle. They played "Ring Around the Rosie'' with the ball until it was dropped behind one -of the players, then this player had to run with the ball for a touchdown, or get his head chewed off. He chose the former. Their aerial attack was very good. In this play the man with the ball was picked up and carried across the goal line. Wow! A flapper knocked out! A lady doctor rushes to aid the poor darling. A crowd of inquisitive on lookers is dispersed only after a cor set is thrown at them. Those flap pers were mean. They all took off their . Oh, yes, as I said before, ttycy had many fine plays. The best of these was the "Little Daisy."' As the result of a line buck, everybody is sitting on top of someone else, but from under the pile our little heroine came. She ran a little ways with the ball, then just like a little daisy, she sat down and powdered her nose. And just then the whistle blew. All us Prescott guys hold a grudge against the university, for when we signed up for our various courses, the deans told us that those were fruit courses. Now after spending two months of hard labor down here, we find that we have been kidded, because horticulture is the only fruit course they got to offer. Accused of Drawing on Account Without Sufficient Funds, A. F. Bratcher is Bound Over for Trial in Higher Court. (Krom Tnursaays Dally) A. F. Brachtcr was bound over for trial in the superior court on a charge of issuing a bogus check, when he appeared for preliminary ex amination before Judge Clyde B. Jones, justice of the peace of the Jerome precinct, yesterday. The hearing was attended by Deputy County Attorney R. B. Westcrvclt, who accompanied Sheriff Dillon to Clarkdale for the preliminary exami nation of Mauro Carrcra. Brachter is accused of presenting a check for $500 to the Postofficc drug store in Jerome, who cashed the check, at a time when he did not have sufficient funds in the bank, the deputy county attorney said. He will be brought to Prescott today by Chief of Police J. G. Crowley of Ic- roiiiv. 'to aw ail tii.il in th court. Miptnoi iJEHE II IS fLDJICIH Charge of Robbery Against Joe Gonzales Dismissed When the Complaint Admits Finding the Money She Supposed Missing. Jose Gonzales of Humboldt, ar rested upon complaint of Julia Ara gon, also of the smelter town, as he was entering Prescott the other night, yesterday was released from custody; and the charges against him dis missed. Gonzales was taken into custody when Julia Ajagon complained that he had robbed her of the sum of $30. When arrested, he pVolestcd that the money he had was his own, and that the allegations o"f the complainant had no basis in fact. , Yesterday Julia ' Aragon appeared before Judge A. K. Lee, justice of the peace of the Humboldt precinct, and informed him that she had been misfaCen. Gonzales had not robbed her of $30, she said, because she had '11 the antimc f"d the $30 she supposed ne nau taKcn. anc ,nau misplaced the money, she said. She made a signed Statement that she was the complainant against Gon zales, that she had signed the com plaint against hinj in the honest be- found the money she had supposed stolen in her own possession.

The questioner was a coun ty official and a city resident inter ested in the growth of the commun ity. A guess of 50 was hazarded, be fore the question was asked: "Depends on' the time of day, doesn't it? The noon hour' is the busiest." "Yes. ' -Well, the" thire T have in mind was the half" hour between '1:15 and 1:45 Tuesday afternoon. In that half hour, which out. of curiosity I timed exactly, I sat at .the window of a local dentist's office waiting for the agony to begin, and counted ex actly 161 automobiles pass that in tersection. Not over 10 of them 'had doubled- up.'' The county official smiled, stepped on the 'starter and went on, with the remark: "It's, pretty cidcnt that Prcscott's growing, isn't it?" , Notice of the assignment of Capt. Frederick Samuel Brady, Q.M.-O.R.C. to Motor Transport command No. 425 (VIII Corps) was received here yesterday. Captain Brady is station ed at Fort Whipple. The Ifttcr covering the order of assignment in the reserve corps states that "the war department, rccogniz ng the soldierly abilities and valuable services of Captain Brady during the world war, has fuithcr shows its ap preciation of 'this officer's sterling qualities and patriotism" 'by making this assignment. Captain Brady's service with the reserve does not call for immediate active duty.

CAPTAIN BRADY IS ASSIGNED 10 COSPS Clli HELD FOR Prescott Designated as Place of 1923 Conference, at First State wide Gathering of Arizona Boy Scouts at the Capital, (From Tltursday'3 Daily) Prescott will have the next annual conference of Boy Scout leaders Feb ruary, 1923, it was decided at the closing session of the first state con ference held Monday and Tuesday at Ingleside Inn, near Phoenix. The de cision tp Hold -the conference here was reached after A. R. Groenink, scout executive for the Yavapai dis trict council, had extended an invita tion in behalf of the Yavapai, coun cil and the Prescott Rotary club. The profession "of scouting was dis cuscd from every angle by the 65 Boy Scout executives at the confer ence. Groenink -and O. W. Gildow, j scout leader from Kingman, repre sented the Yavapai council. The out standing feature of .the sessions was the splendid -spirit of co-operation manifested by the .Arizona leaders, they- said, upon their return yester day. This spirit has already borne fruit in making Arizona the first state in the union to be completely organized for the scout movement. Scout lead ers have worked hard during the past year to bring this about, and were gratified by the announcement made at the conference that it was an actual fact. It was , -decided to hold a confer ence for older scouts at lucson dur ing Thanksgiving week of 1923. This conference will be an -encampment, and a large attendance -of older boys frpm all over the state is expected. Special features of the conference just 'closed were the open discussions following each speech, and the fel lowship -suppers and luncheons. These proved to,:ba especially help ful to the leaders,",, making the con ference one of gfieat 'value. Helpful Programs Harry B. Ogle5' Tucson executive, opened the morning session Tuesday with a discussion of council summer camps, which wai" followed by an id dress on the best way to conduct the short term camp; by Colonel A. J. Daugherty of WJarrcn. O. W. Gil dow of Kingman gave an interesting address on troop camps, emphasizing the importance of 'tlie ABC grad ing system, and. means of applying it to every camp. Tom Murray, .scout executive of Phoenix, spoke on hiking, discussing it from 'every angle, particularly comparing the ad vantages and disadvantages of long and short hikes. E. R. Gaustad; scout executive of Cochise county, spoke on the ."Ad vancement of, the Scqut," while O. A. Alderson, scout leader of Globe, told what he thought about the "Scout and His Opportunity for Service In His Community." A. R. Groenink discussed "The Scout and His Rela tionship to His Community" at the morning session and '"Recruiting" in the afternoon. "Training" was ably handled by E. R. Goustad and "Retaining" .by Percy E. Warner, troop executive from Flagstaff. Troop organization, pro grams dnd plans for financing were discussed by H. B. Ogle. County Attorney's Office Pre pares for Arraignment and Pre liminary of Man Accused of Stabbing; Injured Man at the County Hospital. It is expected that Jesus Soto, ar rested on Armistice night and charged with stabbing Jack Hughes with a pocket-knife, will appear for arraignment before Judge McLanc, local justice of" the peace, before the end of the week and possibly today, on a charge of assault with intent to murder. This was indicated at the county attorney's office and by Judge Mc Lanc yesterday afternoon. The coun ty attorney was ready to arrange for the presence in court of Soto in ordy that the charge may be .read to him mid he may be given a chance to plead. Jack Hughes, the man for whose stabbing Soto is under arrest,, is- re covering from his wound. He was moved -yesterday from Mercy hos pital to' the county hospital in Miller Valley. It is understood that he will lu- aide to appear in court at Soto's jgcrald and Uert Holfman. The de trial, fendants were released on bond. (From Thursday's Dally) Movement of cattle in fall ship ments from Arizona has been ap preciably reduced this year by reason of congestion of cars, with the result that shipments have been and arc being delayed v all over the state, according to statements from three authoritative sources yesterday. Many Yavapai cattlemen have not sold their steers this fall, for, the reason that the car shortage has scared buyers off, it is reported at the forest service office, although Deputy Supervisor Robert Munro said that all reports on fall removals from the forest ranges arc not yet in. Yavapai County Among specific shipments being held up are eight cars from Kirkland, another 10 at Kirkland from the- Hayes Cattle company, three cars of calves" at Date creek front Ming & Anderson, according to Pecos Ed wards, state livestock sanitary board inspector for this district. The Chi cago Loan company is waiting to send another shipment of 800 to 9C0 two "and three-year-old steers, which should go out by the 24th qr '25th of this month, Edwards said. The situation in being lightened in the eastern part of the state, H. M. Rice, secretary of the Arizona Cattle Growers' association, declared. This is due to the fact that shipments from New Mexico art about cleaned up, and cars used there being re leased for Arizona traffic. Seek Relief of R. R. Better results in the matter of sup plying cars are being secured, as the result of negotiations with the rail roads by the Arizona Cattle Growers' association, Mr. Rice said. The as sociation took the matter up with the railroads and with the transportation bureau of the department of agricul ture, but could only secure the rail roads' promises to fulfill car orders with from 10 to 14 days delay. An ffort to get the railroads to specify dates on which car arrivals, even when late, could be expected has been effective, division superintend ents now seeming ready to definitely set dates. This has meant ' considerable sav ing to shippers, who being notified of definite arrival dates of .cars are relieved of the necessity of rounding up their cattle at shipping pens ill advance of the arrival of cars. This is true-of only some parts of the tate. Movement of Cattle The movement of cattle, in Arizona so far this year has been in each county far less than movements of the fall of 1921, Mr. Rice said. If congestion of cars should bring about range congestion, a result which Mr. Rice regards as improbable in view of the low calf crop this year, this would in some ways be a benefit to growers who can afford to hold their, stock another year, inasmuch as those selling by weight instead of by head would profit by better prices, having their added cattle growth to sell. But it would prove of no benefit to grow ers selling stock' by the head. Prevailing Prices While movements throughout Ari zona this year arc way under those of last year, -production has remained roughly about at a level, Mr. Rice said. Prevailing fall 1922 prices are five cents a jtound for yearling and two and three-year-old feeders and stockers, six and a half cents for fat beef steers, five cents for fat cows, three cents for feeder cows and from six to seven cents for good veal calves. UOR CONFISCATED; MAN, WOMAN HELD John Sullivan and Nora Buchanan were arrested at 444 South Monte zuma' street yesterday, when officers armed with a search warrant issued from the superior court, found on the premises two kegs of liquor and a sack containing about two quarts of of 430 feet. new corks. , Stockholders of the company, most The search warrant was obtained of them residing in Canton, Ohio, re when sheriff's men made known their ccntly made a move in the nature of belief that liquor had been brought in to town .yesterday morning and left at the house where the search was made. The liquor found was contain ed in a five-gallon wooden keg .and one of 15 gallons capacity. The search and seizure were made by Undcrsheritf John Dial and Deputies Roland Moshcr, Bill Fitz- Ill ID COMES HOME AFTER DAY OF LIFE IN WILD Lost Airedale Limps Into Strange Camp at End of Two Weeks' Exploring Among Hills (From Friday's Dally) After wandering for two weeks over country with which he was un familiar, with no road or sign of civilization to guide him Red,' the Airedale dog belonging to Art Ploctz of this city, has found shelter and friends, according to word received by Ploetz yesterday. - Two weeks ago while on a hunt ing trip with his owner in the vicin ity of Dewey, Red strayed too far from the car in pursuit of a rabbit. Although Ploetz hunted for him long after nightfall, he was forced to re turn to town without his dog. Fear ing that the dog would fall prey to a band of coyotes or mountain lions, he made several attempts to locate him, bft was, unsuccessful. Time passed, bringing no word of Red, and Ploetz became convinced that the dog had become hopelessly lost in the wilds. W. B. Sawyer, Ploqtz" partner, received a letter yes terday from his wife, who is spend ing the winter at Jerome, to the ef fect that Red had found his way to her house. Awakened at night by a scratching at the door, she opened it to admit the dog, who, though ex hausted by his long tramp and ex posure, feebly tried to show his grati tude by licking her hand. With good care, Red regained his spirits quickly, and "will soon be brought home. Red won second prize in the Aire dale class at the recent kennel show of the Northern Arizona State fair. As far as Ploetz could learn from his wife's letter, Red had no explanation to make beyond wagging his tail in gratitude for the square nieal given him; but it is possible if he could speak he would be able to .give a colorful history' of Jiis adventure, not leaving out of account the call of the j wild. f- CLARMI ENGINI CHAPTER AT BANQUI Verde Organization ol A.
