Will Discuss
Range Control

Range control will be the princip subject under discussion at the spnual convention of the Arizona Cattle G row~ er's association to be held in Tucson January , and 6, according to a s,ste- men, just issued from the headquarters of ttat organization.
 A chance in the present law rela. tive to the leasing of state lard for grazing purpo.es will probably be recommended. Under the present law no one person can lease more thsn $40 acres. It ie claimed that 1t has been used to secure contrni of water, that by merely leasing $40 acres an individual can, in many cases, cortrol wide areas of range. The state would receivegreater benefits and the arrange ment would be more equitable, it is argued, if the leasing of larger areas were permitted.
 An effort will be made to psss . resolution asking the department of the inte for t. fence sll Indian reser- vations Resolutions will be iptro- duced asking Arizona's representatives at Washington to work for sn sppro. pristion to fence the boundary line between this stste and Mexico.
 It is possible that the association will decide at the Tucscn convent ton to offer special bounties for the pelss of lobo wolves and mountain lions. which are serious pests ;n some perss of the state.
 WP Gesry. chairman of the corpora. tion commission, will be present to leirh the views of the cattlemen res lstive to car demurrage, speed guar sntees for stock shipments and proper handling of stock in trapsit.
 Arrangements are being made with the railrosds for reduced rates from all points in Arizona.

THEY HAD BEEN ROBBED TO
DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE.

Washington, Jan. 14.-An investi-
cation of the affairs of the Grow
tribe of Indians by the department
of justice will be recommended to the
senate tomorrow by its committee
on Indian affairs. The committee
early today recommended the pas.
sage of the Townsend resolution di-
recting the attorney general to call
upon the secretary of the interior
for any records necessary to the in
vestigation.
At a meeting later in the day the
committee decided to modify the res
oution so that no direct reference

the interior. This action grew out oi
charges made by Mrs. Helen Pierce

pass on the evidence Mrs. Gray
submitted and will suggest that the
entire subject be put into the hands
of the department of justice.
Mrs. Gray charged that Crow In
dian records had been concealed {,

Jim CROW CASE IN
SUPREME COURT
YOUNG WOMAN FROM MISSISSlP-
PI IN $4,000 SUIT - NEGROES
WERE PASSENGERS.

Washington, Jan. 14.-Probably the
most novel Jim Crow +" case ever
before the supreme court of the Uni
ted States reached it today when TIE
Alabama and Vicksburg Railroad con-
pany filed an appeal from the verdict
of the sissippi court, which award
ed Miss Pearl Morris $4,000 for dis
tress of mind and body caused by lie
ing required to occupy b rth in
Pullman car in which three negroes
were riding. The court of Mississip-
pi reduced the damages to $4,000
No case of this nature has ever been
considered by the supreme court.
The case is attracting particular
attention because the NJ ssis sippi
courts have interpreted the Jim
Crow" law of that state as applicable
to interstate commerce as well as to
interstate travel
They justify the law on the ground
that the Jim Crow law was enact
ed to preserve order by separating the
two races, and disturbance is as like
ly to occur upon an interstate train
passing through the sta e as upon a
local train.
Another point upon which tie case
may serve as a precedent in case CT
aff!rmance, in that state Jim Crow"
laws securing separate accommoda-
tions on passenger trains means that
separate Pullman cars must be fur
nished as well as separate "passen-
ger" cars.
In the case brought to the court
today Miss Morris got on the train,
and upon entering the Pullman she
observed the presence there Of three
negro men. She at once demanded
separate accommodations, which were
refused. She boarded the train at
for New York.
