Ariz., Sept. 23.—-A Statement declaring that former President Taft should be “ashamed of himself’’ for his statement re garding use of militia in Ohio dur ing the Cox administration was is sued here by Governor Cox, Demo cratic nominee, during his Arizona campaign. Commenting on Mr. Taft's recent article which said that Governor Cox’s “indisposition to maintain or der by use of the militia is well known to local union leaders and ex plains his popularity with them,’’ Governor Cox made the following •tatement: “It has been apparent for some time that Judge Taft’s newspaper ar ticles, which were intended to be the reflections of a mature statesman, have been turned into a cheap po litical propaganda. He ought to be ashamed of himself for the state ment that law and order have not been maintained in Ohicfc I would like to have him tell me the instance in which he would have used troops •Where I did not. “I challenge him to cite the opin ion of a single member of the su preme court of Ohio, no matter what his politics might be, in support of his absurd accusation. I have no ob jection to Judge Taft becoming a water carrier around the old guard political camp. A great many people, however, in our state, who have re spected him throughout the years, cannot but look with regret upon the ease with which reactionary politi cians still make use of him.’’ Application of the League of Na tions argument to western problems was stressed by Governor Cox in ad dresses at Mesa and Temple. Governor Cox promised that when elected he would send a corps of engineers into tne west to locate new reclamation projects. He declared he favored the Smith-Fletcher bill for completing reclamation enter prises. The governor urged that Sen ators Marcus A. Smith and Henry F. Ashurst, Democrats, of Arizona, be returned to the senate. Hun Burglars Rob American in Berlin BERLIN. —Expert thieves early this morning raided the suite of rooms at the Hotel Adlon occupied by Walter Brown, European organiz er of the American Relief commis sion warehouses founded by Herbert Hoover. Mrs. Brown and their ten year-old daughter were in the suite at the time of the robbery. Among the articles stolen was a pearl necklace valued at $1,600. The cchld saw one of the thieves search ing her room, but she was only half awake, the room was dark, and she thought the man was her father. The rooms occupied by General Bingham, British member of the al lied military mission, also we’re raided. A revolver and some cigars and cigarettes were stolen. Investigation of the robberies has been intrusted to some of Berlin's most famous detectives. Brown ar rived here early this week to attend a conference of members of the re lief commission.

' ' ■' “Dog of the Desert” Retires After Saving 33 Lives A dog has the record of saving thirty-three human lives by his un aided efforts; he is Rufus, the dog of the desert. The wonderful dog is now at a small animal sanitarium in the country a little way out from Pasadona, Cal. Here at the age of seventeen years, twelve of which were spent in the saving of human life on the scorched sands of southern Cali fornia and Arizona deserts, and now almost blind and deaf, this most faithful friend of mankind is spending his declining years sur rounded by all the care and com forts that science and kind hands can give. He is a medium-sized dog with a reddish coat of hair, rather long and inclined to curl; he has a sober and very earnest expression and a very kind disposition. His attempts in his present condition to play with and respond to "the small children who visit the sanatorium, with whom he is a great favorite, are touching. He was bqFn in Nome, Alaska, and was picked up there when a puppy by L. W. Beck, of Pasadena. For twelve years the man and dog were constant companions on the desert, daily excursions out on tne waste of sands in search of lost hu mans. During that time both are accredited with having saved the lives of 300 persons. On these trips the dog wore leath er boots made especially for him to protect the soles of his feet from the hot sand, the rough stones and cactus thorns. He carried a forty pound pack strapped to his back when on these trips the entire twelve years of his work daily. In the pack was a flask of water and food. Carrying this back he would make wide detours and on finding any one in distress would arouse' them by tugging- at their clothing, barking, or by licking their hands and face, when the distressed person would then partake of the water and food, Rufus would then keep watch near by, barkino- loudly until his master came, who carried poison bite anti dotes and restoratives, for many who were found had been bitten by poisonous reptiles. Burglar Gets Loot Os $2,000, but Says Victim Is a “Piker” NEW TRIBUNE—A burglar who combines a sense of humor with his safe-breaking proclivities jimmied his way into the office of Henry Brady, real estate and insurance broker, at 139 West Thirty-third street, Thursday night or early Fri day. In return for $2,000 cash, some securities and two gold watches, he left Mr. Brady a note calling him a "piker” for leaving such ! a small sum in his office and advising him to get a "decent” safe. The burglary was discovered about 5:30 o’clock Friday morning by a woman who was cleaning the office. She found the broken safe door ajar and notified the police. Mr. Brady gave an account of the robbery to The Tribune yesterday. Entering the three-story remodel ed house by the roof door, which was locked and had to be pried open, the burglar made his way to the office on the ground floor. Using a brace and bit and “can onener,” he opened the safe and took the contents to a vacant room on the top floor. Numer ous discarded cigarette stubs indi cated that he went about his task in a leisurely manner. “Why don’t you pay an extra dol lar and get a decent -safe?” the note to Mr. Brady asked. "If you are going to repair this one, or buy one like it. I would advise you to leave it open and save me about ten min utes time and also save you money. I think a real estate man of your standing to have only about $2,000 in the safe is a piker and I will not bother you again unless I am sure you have more. “If I have any success the next couple I blow I may send you back part of what I took, as I need the money at present. “If you find cut the brand of cigarettes you probably will know Who I am.” The note carried no signature. The cigarette butts the burglar had strewn about him indicated that he smoked several different brands. Mr. Brady said the thief showed familiarity with the real estate busi ness in taking certain papers and leaving others. He thinks the man makes a specialty of robbing real estate offices. The police have some finger print clews. Valuable Secrets From Stone Mountain STONE MOUNTAIN, Ga„ Sept. 23. Here are two valuable secrets that have just been divulged in Stone Mountain: T. K. Warren, merchant, says there will be frost in the next five days, and it is sure to come because a katydid, a bird of common knowledge, just eighty-five days ago sat on a bush and sang, and when a katydid sings, nienty days there after there will be frost. So pre pare. The next secret is from an un known mechanic that was leisurely traveling through the city. Take a common old brick or bricks, of low order, put them in a barrel of crude oil ana let 'em soak for about a week. Then take them out, place them in the grate and you have solved the coal question. This gen tleman of mechanical inclinations al leges that those oil-soaked bricks will furnish more heat than coal and burn indefinitely. So, there you are, a tip and gift from Stone Moun tain freely given. Thirsty Jail Birds Run Prison Still HENDERSON, Ky.—Jailer Rod Davis found a moonshine still in the jail today being operated by seven white prisoners. The still was made from a coal oil can with a smaller can under to hold fire. The men had dis tilled more than a pint of "white mule” from sour cornbread. For a syphon they had torn up a new disinfectant spray and in serted it in the top of the coal oil can to allow the “juice” to run into a tin can. Fire was made from torn-up blankets and it was the rag smoke that led to the discovery. For several days the prisoners complained they were not getting enough cornbread and extra sup plies had been furnished them. MANY INQUIRIES RECEIVED FOR GEORGIA FARMS The work of the “Advertise Geor gia Enterprise” already has resulted in bringing many inquiries as to farm lands‘-for sale in Georgia, al though the campaign still is In its preliminary stages, it was announc ed Thursday by officials of the en terprise. Georgia is receiving considerable free advertising, throughout the na tion because it is the first state to undertake an advertising campaign, officials said. They called attention to the fact that a number of lead ing newspapers and magazines have made editorial comments on the en terprise. J. Kelly Simmons, president of the Georgia Press association, who has just returned from a months’ stay in southern California, has told officials of the “Advertise Georgia” movement that the reason California gained 44.1 per cent in population in the last ten years, while ‘Georgia gained less than 11 per cent is due principally to the fact that aClifor nia advertised while Georgia didn’t. “There is no reason why Georgia, once her advantages are ' shown to the people of the United States, cannot bring new residents to culti vate her idle farms and develop tne enormous acreage of waste land,” said Mr. Simmons. “She has every thing to offer that California has, and many features which California has not. “The great importance to the state of the Advertise Georgia Enterprise, in my opinion, lies in the fact that it will be principally directed at bringing new farmers rather than new citizens for the towns and cities. It will go a long way toward counteracting the disproportionate growth of the cities, which have gained at the expense of the farm ing sections. Some of Georgia’s ru ral counties have actually shown a heavy loss in population in the last ten years. This has reduced farm production, at a time wnen greater production was needed. The pros perity of the state and of the coun try depends upon a large and pros perous farming peculation.” Airplane Proves Handy In Doing Chores On Big Texas Ranch When Bob Slaughter, owner of the Lazy S ranch in Texas, arose the other morning, he was informed by his son, R. L. Slaughter, that the cook was A. W. O. L., and that breakfast was not in sight. “Oh, that’s all right,” the elder Slaughter assured him, “get out your airplane and we will go to Lubbuck for breakfast.” The start was immediately made and forty minutes later the airplane was barked in the town and the two men were dining comfortably in a hotel. They had made the trip of fifty-seven miles from the ranch to Lubbuck at more than a mile-a-min ute speed. The son piloted the ma chine. He was in the air service during the war. The stunt of flying fifty-seven miles to breakfast is nothing unusual for the Slaughters. The Lazy S ranch embraces 250,000 acres in a solid tract. Bob Slaughter owns four other large ranches in west Texas and New Mexico. He and his spn use the airplane constantly in visit ing the different properties. It is 500 miles from tire nearest ranch to Dallas, where Mr. Slaughter main tains his principal business office, very few days he and his son jump off on a voyage to Dallas, *vhich they usually make in six hours, with out stopping en route. Upon the wings of the airplane is painted a big “S” of the lazy type. This ranch brand upon the airplane is easily dis cerned, and all over west Texas the machine is well known. The Slaughters make practical use of the airplane in many ways. If an inspection of the cattle is desired at any time it is quickly and easily made. In locating scattered herds to be rounded up for branding or vac cination the airplane performs a val uable and time-saving service. Fann Shown by ’Plane Finds Quick Buyer Eric Brompton, Indian Springs, Manitoba, wanted to buy a farm, knew exactly what he -wanted and had the collateral. So he stepped into a Winnipeg real estate office. ■* “I have a farm I believe will just suit you,” said the real estate man. “Lies thirty-six miles west of city. Fine farming country. Grain yield big. Plenty of live stock. Great dairying country.” “Sounds good to hear you tell it, replied Brompton. “But you’ve got to show me. I must see the land.” “Sure.” ' The real estate man clapped on his hat and catching Brompton by the arm. rushed him into the street Brompton was nonplused. Either the real estate man was crazy or he was about to perpetrate some practical joke. A few blocks away they came to the aerodrome. Thew stepped into an airplane. The machine rose half a mile and set a beeline course westward. In less than twenty minues it came over the farm. From the flying car Brompton in spected every corner and angle of the land. When the airplane came to earth the deal was closed across a wing of the machine and the prop erty was turned over to the pur chaser. This is said to be the first time a farm has been sold by airplane.—St. Paul Daily News. Inherits $4,000,000 SAN SEBASTIN, Spain. Some years ago a poor woman abandoned her three little sons, who since have been cared for by a fisherman’s family. Yesterday two Argentine attorneys arrived at Sebastian and informed the children they had inherited near ly $4,000,000 left by their mother who died recently in Argentina. St. Paul, Minn., Claims First Woman to Vote Under 19th Amendment . ■ Miss Margaret Newburgn Probably the first woman to vote in the United States under the provi sions of the Nineteenth amendment is Miss Margaret Newburgh, of South St. Paul, Minn. She appeared at the polls at 6 a. m., August 27, to cast ser vote in a special election on a municipal bond issue. She was the first to vote in her district and it is believed the first to vote in South St. Paul, although many women sought to win the distrinction of casting thezfirst ballot. Clothes Burned, But Saves Cigar NEW YORK. —Fred D. Soper, of 1190 Dean street, Brooklyn, a retired business man, was returning home from a directors’ meeting when last week’s Wall street explosion stunned him. He groped his way across Wall street and sat down on the Morgan steps. His clothing was burned near ly off. After his burns had been dressed in Broad Street hospital he sat up in bed and looked at the pile of rags which had been his clothes. The only thing not burned which he had worn was a cigar case, and in it he found one whole cigar. “Guess that cigar deserves being smoked,” the cheerful patient re marked, and the nurses propped him in bed while he smoked it. Excitement Runs High Till Dreaded Bomb Turns Out Pickles KANSAS CITY, Mo.—You wouldn’t think a mother’s birthday present to her son would affect a crowd of big, strange policemen the way it- did You wouldn’t, but here’s the story: The son of a kindly woman who lives “out in Northeast” is a resident of Chicago, but she never forgets her boy’s birthday. She made his present ready yesterday, a favorite delicacy of his—ten jars of finest pickles, sweet, dill and sour. The mother packed them carefully in a wooden box, and took them to a grocer friend, Lloyd F. Cochran, whose store is at 2607 Independence avenue. She asked that he ship thgrr? for her. He obliged. Mr. Cochran placed the box on a showcase and turned back to a busi ness conversation with James P. Fig gins, salesman for Wilson & Co. “By the way, will you ship that box for me on your way in?” Coch ran asked Figgins. “You will? Fine.” To err is human and the grocery boy was human. He put the box in a second car in front of the store, that of John J. Lewis, a salesman for the National Candy company, who also was transacting business with Mr. Cochran. Lewis left the store first. He be held the strange box in his car. Wall street—New York—bomb!” were thoughts which had a head-on collision in the mind of Mr. Lewis. Lewis took his anxious seat beside the thing, and proceeded to the city hall. “A bomb—outside—in my car,” he gasped to patrolmen at police head quarters. Patrolmen, detectives and news paper men trooped out. Lieutenant Leo D. Mullin was accorded the priv ilege of rank, and gingerly carried the box in. At once E. G. McGeary, informa tion man, was paged. Nervously thumbing the pages of his little book of knowledge, he at last ar rived at the chapter on "Bombs— and What to Do With Them.” Mc- Geary read: “Dip it in water.” They got a tub. Lieutenant Mul lin immersed the zbox. Drawing a deep breath, Lieutenant Mullin pried off the lid. Then he exclaimed: "Pickles!” How Lieutenant Mullin solved the case, how he and Mr. Cochran re packed the box and rushed it to the train, c.re concluding details. And probably some day soon a son in Chi cago will be sitting down to his din ner, sinking his teeth in a succulent dill and exclaiming: “Ah, these pickles that mother makes. You can’t beat them!” Police Stage Battle With Swarm of Bees At City Residence KANSAS CITY, Mo. —It' was the cooling shade of large trees that encompassed the inviting screens at the home of Charles Wilson, 16 South Ferree street, Kansas Side, that caused Queen Honey Bee and her swarm to select the premises as a resting place. They literally covered several screens of the first floor windows. Mrs. Wilson, at work inside, heard the strange hum and scream ed. Seizing the telephone she call ed police headquarters and Sergeant William Evans received her excited appeal. She described herself as being a prisoner in her own house surrounded bv bees. The sergeant thought she said thieves. He rush ed Stanley Beatty, secret service utility man for the police depart ment, to the scene. When Beatty arrived to do battle with the “thieves” he found Mrs. Wilson pouring scalding water on them h though the screens. Beatty seized a mop and entered the en gagement. For thirty minutes tne battle raged, then the temperamen tal queen, with a few angry darts at her tormentors, led the swarm buzzing fiercely, to safety in the tree tops. Still Is Discovered When Home Burns Up LEAVENWORTH, Kan. Fire caused by an overheated whisky still resulted in a damage of S6OO to two Leavenworth homes today. When the fire department was called one of the houses was ablaze and before the Are was under control sparks had set fire to another dwelling near by. Fire Chief Schroeder’s investiga tion of the fire revealed the illicit still concealed in a closet. The po lice were notified. Besides the still many bottles and jugs and ten gal lons of sour mash were found. Neigh bors said the owner of the still was on a trip in the country. No ar rests have been made. SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 25, 1920. Heads Will Fly If Kaiser Returns BERLIN. An extraordinary declaration by former Emperor William, made on the grounds of his residence at Doorn, is reported by Vorwaerts in a story purport ing to emanate from a Prussian junker, who recently visited him. It is stated that the former emperor was chopping a tree when he suddenly exclaimed, as he struck furious blows with his axe: “This is the way heads will fly to the right and left when I return to Germany.” VIOLENCE IS USED ~ BY ITALIANS FACTORY FIGHT ROME, Sept. 23.—Violence has en tered the fight of Italian control industrial plants. Reports here today said a patrol of royal guards in Turin was fired upon. One guard was killed and sev eral reported wounded. Three armed men were arrested and a number of suspects were imprisoned. Every city in which labor seized plants reported that referendums re sulted in labor’s rejection of their leaders’ agreement that factories should be evacuated pending enact ment of a national law providing for partial labor control of industris. In Turin a referendum resulted in renewed seizures and the continued occupation of the famous automo bile factories of the Fiat, Dubest and Lancia companies. It was reported the Ansaldo aviation works were seized, together with a number of textile factories. A report from Milan said a bomb had been set off on the threshhold of Angelo Zenere’s residence. Ze nere is the proprietor of one of the occupied plants, and has been a leader in opposing the workmen's program. Franchi Greporini, a man ufacturer of Brescia, was punished for refusing to advance 15,000 lire for work done during occupation, by seeing another of his plants Metal workers in Savona flatly re jected the proposal that they with draw from factories there. Genoa metal workers were reported to have affiliated with the anarchist organiza tion there and refused to recognize the agreement with the government. Reports from Stero and Sestri Po nenti were that occupation will be continued regardless of agreement with Premier Giolitti. The Socialist organ Avanti, fail ing to see concessions of plant owners as settlement of all labor difficulties, says the success of work ers in the present fight is the pre lude of further agitation in the near future. Once Mexican Bandit, Villa Decides to Be Well-Equipped Farmer When the Mexican government promised Francisco Villa, the erst while bandit-revolutionist, that it Would set him up in the farming business as one of the provisions of the terms of his recent surrender, it bound itself to a bigger proposi tion that it probably thought of at the time. Judging from the itemized requisitionn for farm • machinery and equipment which Villa has just placed with the government he is not going to be any piker tilling the soil. Howeevr, much the big order may have shocked the govern ment officials in the city of Mexico it met with the prompt approval of President De la Huerta and it -was immediately dispatched to Luis Nobtes de Oca, Mexican consul at El Paso, with instruction that every item in it be filled and shipments of same made as quickly as possible to Villa at Canutillo, State of Du rango, where the land granted him by the government is situated. Among the machinery and equip ment which Villa asked of his gov ernment are 800 double-row cultiva tors, 200 breaking plows, harness for 1,600 mules, two modern threshing machines, 50 harvesting machines, 30 mowing machines, 400 scythes, 40 scrappers, 300 axes, 2 large motor trucks, 2 tractors, 50 harrows, 20 iron rollers, 2 ditch digging ma chines, 5 gasoline engines, 6 irriga tion pumping plants, 100 corn plan ters and 60 wheat drills, the total cost of which will run up into many thousands of dollars. According to Villa he will have need for everything he has ordered and it is said that the government is perfectly willing to humor him in his extensive farming for converting the big tract of land the government has given him into a modern farm. He has already employed a large number of his former followers and comfortable homes will be built for them and their families. Material has been ordered for a modern school building which will be erect ed upon the farm. —Kansas City Star. Railroad Artillery Bombards Sea Targets ROCKPORT. Mas. —The bombard ment of moving targets at sea from an artillery train on the Rockport branch of the Boston & Maine Rail road furnished the summer colony of the Massachusetts North Shore with a novel spectacle and plenty of noise during the first days of this month. Military experts were especially interested in the demonstration, as it was designed to show the feasi bility of repelling an attack of war vessels by means of railroad artil lery. At a distance of thirteen miles from shore targets towed by a tug were a mark for the heavyg uns of the 42d United States Coast artil lery. The line towing the target was a mile or more in length and the batteries consisted of eight-inch guns, four to a battery mounted on specially constructed railroad cars. Gypsies Use Wheels To Sidestep Taxes GUILDFORD, England.—A novel way of avoiding the payment of lo cal taxation has been discovered by several large families of gypsies in an encampment here. They own the land and thus are liable to house duty. There is a regulation, however, that if the wheels of a permanent caravan home are turned completely round once every year the owner is absolved from duty. Consequently, when the tax collecter calls at the camp there is a general wheel turn ing. Every caravan simultaneously moves forward about two yards— and the gypsies can live duty free for another year. i'?
