PEACE PACT
IS APPROVED
PRESIDENT WILSON GIVES Az
PROiA. To THE SCOTT AND
OREGON AGREEMENT.
Up To CARRANzA
The Contents of the Agreement VIII
Not Re Given Out Until Car
rama Approves or Rejects
Terms of the Plan.

WASHINGTON. May 4. The
peace agreement between General
Scott and General Obregon regard
ing the future movements of the
punitive expedition in Mexico has
been approved by President Wilson.
While it is known that the presi-
dent has accepted the terms no for
NAL announcement of the acceptance
will be made until General Car
rama has had an opportunity to re-
ceiye and approve or reject the
agreement.
The president conferred with Sec
retary Baker over long code mes
sage received from General Scott
detailing the terms of the agreement.
While ii is the understanding that
the agreement sets a time limit for
the American troops to remain in
Mexico and provides for the use of
Mexican railways nothing of an Of
fetal nature can be said regarding
its contents until Carranza is heard
from
Immediately after the conference
message was sent to General Scott
stating that the president awaited
word from Carranza before final
acceptance. 1t was believed Car
ranza's approval would be received
later in the day. The president will
probably issue a statement on the
Mexican situation as soon as the
first chief is heard from
1t was learned that this govern
ment declined to agree to the pro-
posal definitely fixing sixty days as
the period for the United States
troops to leave Mexico, the position
being taken that the time might be
much less if Villa is captured. but
the gradual procedure of withdrawal
if the chase is turned over to Car
rama might take longer.

SPORTSMEN CONDEMN
 GAME LAW CHANGES
(From Sundays DalIy)

The Arizona Sportsmen' Associa- ton is fighting Game Warden Will lard and also law he is seeking to initiate. At recent meeting reso' lution was passed condemning in severe terms proposed amendments to the game laws, as follows:
 Whereas, the present State Game Warden of Arizona has. ever since his appointment to the office, been most objectionable to the sportsmen of Ari- zona. by reason of his continued ef- forts to enforce imaginary game laws. and Federal game laws or regulations. which court decisions i'll every case where the question has been raised have declared unconstitutional, and which Federal regulations do not come within the jurisdiction or scope of work of said game warden, instead of enforcing the real game laws oi Arizona. therefore,
 Be It Resolved. by the Arizona Sportsmen's Association. in regular called meeting assembled. that we condemn the action of the, State game warden in attempting to place upon lilG DdllOl dl tIlC HNNt SNhNioA CNoeN election certain proposed amendments to the game laws. which represent simply his own pet" ideas and which are more stringent than the laws i'll any of the other States where game is less plentiful and in no sense voice the sentiments of the sportsmen ot Arizona, who are the only people di- rectly interested in the game laws.
 Resolved. That we are opposed to the proposed amendment and especi- ally that part of it increasing the non resident hunting license from Sl0 to SEQ and an additional Sl0 for fishing license. It is the sense of this asso- citation that said nonresident license should be lowered instead of in creased.
 Resolved. Further. that this asso- citation of sportsmen urges all its members to refrain from signing the initiative petition now being circulat- ed by the Game Warden of Arizona and to influence their friends as far as possible in like action, with the pur- pose in view that when the legislature convenes a game law may be enacted in which those concerned may have a voice"

A system oi cross-cutting also has been decided upon, that thorough exploration may he vigorously carried out.

IS PREPARING FOR
 B|G WORK
(From Saturdays Daily)

Reports are in circulation that the Commercial Mining Company will be gin in a short time a larger line ot development for their Snoozer and Seniator mine holdings in Hassayam- pa district. than has heretofore been given, this action being in line with a like movement for their interests in Copper Basin.
 At intervals for several years the Snoozer has been active. shipping to Douglas several cars of high grade copper product. The movement con templates thorough exploration of the Senator mine. it is said, in which the old tunnel over 2,600 feet long, is to be extended and used as an outlet for the output of several mineral sys- tens. In recent years but limited work has been performed on either holding. but the good record made by the Snoozer, it is stated, is supporting this outlay of large development fund authorized recently at meet ing of the company.
