OPPOSE ABANDON .
MENT OF FORT

AS a result oftelegrams sent to
Washington today by Mark
Smith, democratic senators will
hle strong protests against the
issuance of an order for the
abandonment of Fort Whipple,
until Smith and Henry Ashurst,
as members of the senate, and
Carl Hayden as representative,
can be heard on the question.
Citizens of Prescott, and, in
fact, Of all Arizona, are up in
aims against the proposed move
and bitter criticisms of Ralph
Cameron, who has done moth
ing to prevent the abandonment
OF the post, are heard. Requests
by the hundreds are pouring in
upon Smith, Ashurst and Hay
den, to use their influence
against this latest move of the
war department. Smith, who
is in Tucson. telephoned to Phoe-
nix today that he has sent let
ters to a number of democratic
senator's who are certain to file
protests which will probably re-
suit in the delaying of the aban-
donment order until Arizona is
a state and has three men to
represent her at Washington.
Among the facts which the
senator's will cite in filing their
protests will be that nearly a
million dollars has been spent
by the government at Fort
Whipple, and it is one of the
best equipped forts in the United
States. The site is ideal as san
itary conditions are all that
could possibly be desired, and
the water is pure MoreoAer, it
is the only fort in Arizona that
is on a railroad.-Arizona Dem

FIRST MEETING OF
new SUPREME COURT

For the first time since their
election, Henry D. Ross, D. L.
Cunningham and Alfred Frank
lin, members elect of the Arizona
supreme court, are all in Phoenix
today.
Supreme Judge Ross arrived
this morning from Prescott, Su-
preme Judge Cunningham has
been here several days from
Tombstone, and Supreme udge
Franklin has his home in this
city.
In order that there may be no
hitch when they assume their
seats, the supreme judges have
gathered here for a conference
during the next few days.
At it's recent session the terri
torial supreme court decided to
turn over to their successors
practically all the cases pending.
ana it is estimated that there
are some sixty actions awaiting
adjudication.
Faced by an enormous amount
of hard york, several of the mat
ters that would be adjusted with
as little delay as possible, the in
coming supreme court members
are planning to be prepared to
lose no time when they take
their seats.
Ariz ona can justly be proud of
the personnel of It's supreme
court. From the standpoint of
ability, Supreme Judges Frank
I'm, Ross and Cunningham rank
with the best attorneys in the
new state. Each Ut them has
long resided in Arizona, and
knows local conditions.
Geographical v the new su,
preme court is ideal, with Judge
r oss from the north, Judge Gun
ningham from the south and
Judge Franklin from the central
portions of the territory All
three are we'll kn own, have been
prominent at the bar and have
the full confidence of the people.
One important matter that is
just now perplexing the new
court is that of quarters. The fc-
deral court will have the court
house until April. and it will also
be used by the superior Judge.
In the capitol building there is
no suitable room, though the
room now occupied by the rail-
way commission was originally
intended for the supreme court.
1t is possible that the state Sc
nate chamber will be used when
the legislature is not in session.
Plans for the capitol building
when completed call for another
wing on the west, large por-
tion to be used by the supreme
court and the library, together
with the judges chambers. -Ari-
