Committees Manned for Important Celebration Work
WANT AN UNJUST
 PROTEST IGNORED

WASHINGTON, D. C., June 10.- The hearing of the protest of Mul- ford Winsor, chairman of the state land commission of Arizona against the issuance of patents to 92O Ari- zona settlers who put Moqui base scrip on their lands, began before As, sistant Secretary A. A. Jones of the Department of the Interior.
 Mulford Winsor, the protestant. was present in person. The Arizona delegation in congress appeared in body to represent the interests of the settlers affected by Winsors pro test. Some of the settlers who have means were represented by attorneys John B. Wright and Gibson Taylor Of Tucson, John H. Page of Phoenir and E. s. Clark of Prescott being present in this capacity.
 It is understood that Senators Ash. urst and Smith and Congressman Hay den had a private conference with Winsor last night and advised the land commissioner that he was mak- ing great mistake in charging the settlers with irregularities and work ing a great hardship on honest men who purchased the scrip in gcod faith and paid real money for it.
 
 They are said to have advised the to withdraw his protest put he was 0bdurate and insisted on going ahead with the hearing.
 It is regarded as foregone conclu- | 'ioD that Winsor's unjust protest will | 'e igOrned and that patents will issue ,n the recommendation of the senators | md the congressman.
