Kitchener as Secretary for War IS
touched on only lightly by the London

MAY ARBITRATE

Settlement by Com

Washington. June "A proposal to
General Carranza that the United

mission is being seriously considered
by the administration.
Such 3 proposal, If made, Will serve

by the treaty Of 1s4s, which provides

Coming down from bygone years are
disputes as TO certain portions OF the
international boundary. Out OF the
Vera Cruz incident arose the problem
of disposing of the customs revenues

also claims for property damage az

Most farreaching, however, is the
question of naturalization for Amer

attempt ever has been made TO set an
estimate upon the amount involved IN
these claims. but all are recorded at

ANTI-AMERICAN RIOT
PUT DOWN IN MEXICO
Demonstration Made Against
United States Consulate.

Chihuahua City, Mexico, June An
anti-American riot, melted by a mass
meeting to protest against the con-
tinued presence Of American troops in
Mexican territory, was put down here
tonight by the military.
The mob made a demonstration
against the American consulate. and
hurled stones at the Foreign Club. in
the belief that it was an American in
stitution.
The meeting, as a protest against
prospective American Intervention, as
well as against the presence of the
punitive force, was called for the Cen
tennial Theatre. The theatre proved
too small to contain the crowd, and
an overflow meeting was held in the
Alameda. near the American Consulate
There various orators made speeches
Of protest. The crowd snatched the
consulate signs. which were later re-
covered by the police.

WINTERS HARDSH|PS IN VERDE VALLEY
Snow Many Inches Deep; Stock Starving; Birds
 Also Suffer
Special to The Republican,

COTTONWOOD, AriZ., Jan. s. - StOckmen are fearful lest the cOntinu- ation of the deep blanket of snow which has lain over Northern Arizona for a week may continue for another week or ten days, in which case many cows and range horses will doubtless perish. The snow in the Verde valley is the deepest that has fallen for sev- eral years. being from IS inches to two feet. The snow was very damp and heavy when falling and did consider able damage to both timber and buildings. Many barn roofs were cottonwood trees were stripped of many of their limbs.
 Now a week since the snow fell, but little melting has taken place; the snow is crusted on top which makes it all the more difficult for stock to mi grate to favorable places where they may browse upon the oak or other brush. Cowmen are riding daily in an effort to drive to their home ranches such cattle as will surely succumb to the cold and hunger. But even at the best many must perish, unless a speedy thaw exposes the ground sur face.
 Hundreds of game and song birds have already perished. and unless the weather moderates speedily it is feared that the quail and dove will be so deci- mated as to render an open season for them undesirable for some years to come. During the winter the Verde valley is haven for thousands of song birds that nest in the Mogollon forest during the summer. These include robins, finches, band-tailed pigeons. bluebirds. flickers, bluejays and many others. All these are now suffering from cold and hunger and the starved and frozen carcasses of scores of them may now be seen throughout the val ley.
 It is useless to state that telephone communications are impossible. mail service crippled and life in general made reminiscent of Whittier's Snow bound. And yet the coming season will be all the more fruitful and Ari- Zona will be all the more prosperous for this unwonted storm.

Special to The RepubIicanl


 WASHINGTON, Jan 8-Announce- ment is made today that the Depart nent of the Interior has completed, on the rim of the Grand Canyon. Tn Arizona a memorial to Mai. John Weslay Powell, the intrepid pioneer and celebrated scientist who first eN plored the Grand Canyon. The me morial is an altar decorated in Indian imagery and supporting a bronze tab let resting upon a pyramidaI base of rough -hewn stone. Fifteen steps lead from the west up to the altar floor from which one may gaze into the very heart of the glowing mie-deep canyon. It is a structure worthy alike of the rugged, forceful per sonality of the man and of the ti- tanic chasm which it overlooks.
 The spot chosen for the memorial is Sentinel Point, a promonotory south of the railway station which commands a particularly fine view of the Granite Gorge and of the river, whose unknown terrors of whirlpool and cataract the Powell party braved in small open boats. The structure, which is built of weathered lime stone from the neighborhood. has a rectangular base 21 by 2S feet. The altar carries on it's east side a me- dalHon portrait of Maj. Powell in bronze bas-relief by Leila Usher and the following inscription:
 "Ereceted by the Congress of the United States to Maj John Wesley Powell first explorer of the Grand Canyon, who descended the river with his party in rowboats, traversing the. gorge beneath this point August

 1 The memorial which Secretary Lane | has now realized. was planned at the l International Geological Congress of l 1904 in recognition of Maj. Powell s distinguished services as Director of the United States Geological Survey. In March. 1909, Congress appropriated 5000 for the purpose. in recognition | of his distinguished public services as a soldier. explorer and administrator | of government scientific work" Dr. l Holmes chose the site.
 ] The original purpose was to make ] the memorial q Roman chair facing l the canyon. Last spring Secretary | Lane substituted an altar for the chair, and Mark Daniels, then gen eral superintendent and landscape en- | gineer of National Parks, designed the
 structure as it stands today.
