Under this head in your issue of

Griffin, Ca, criticises those who adj
vocate growing alfalfa in Georgia,
and classifles those who attempt to

never did like to advise others
what to do, but if Mr.. Carson will
run down to GAINESVILLE some time

alfalfa something like eight years

CONGRESSMAN LEE
To OPPOSE COTTON
IN FOOD BILL
Saws Many kilograms And
Letters Have Reached
Him About Bill.

cince the inclusion of cotton in
.bo Food Control Bill in the Senate,
ho;rc on the Committee on Agricul
+,,ro NV friends throughout the 7th
congressional District have flooded
NO with kilograms and letters of pro-
lost to this, to such an extent that l
dos;re to answer them through the
columns of your paper.
know how important the question
as to the price of cotton will be to
the farmer this fall. I also realize
that the people who raised cotton in
the years of 1914 and 1915 were al
most bankrupted on account of the
effect of the great war in Europe,
which demoralized the prices to such
an extent that cotton dropped from
- and Is cents to 6 cents pound,
with few buyers at that price.
In my judgment cotton is the
cheapest commodity being sold, when
we calculate the great expense the
farmers have had to grow the pres
ent crop, and it is absolutely impor-
tant to the South that they should
receive at least reasonable price
for cotton.
When the Food Control Bill was
reported by the Committee on Agri-
culture in the House, it contained
not one word which could be con-
strued to include cotton. The con-
troll was limited to foods, feeds and
fuel. An effort was made on the
floor of the House to include other
things, but they were finally disposed
of, either by vote or points of order
were raised against them.
We admitted that cotton seed
would likely be included in feeds and
fuels, but lint cotton had no place
in the bill. Therefore, when the mat
ter passed the House, cotton was not
included in the bill To make the
matter perfectly safe and beyond
question, Representative Young, of
Texas made it impossible for the
courts to so construe it, by an amend
ment to the Bill which he offered.
Cotton was inserted in the bill in
the Senate
l am one of the three conferees in
the House to meet with like number
OF conferees in the Senate to settle
the differences between the House
and the Senate bill on the subject of
food control. We have had several
meetings, but no final results have
oeen attained. | want to assure my
Trends throughout the District that
my efforts and influence on this
measure will be to restrict the bill,
as was formerly intended, to include
only foods, feeds and fuels. Cotton
Will be eliminated from this bill if
my vote and influence can attain this
result.
Yours truly,
GORDON LEE.

Workman Rushed to Hospi- tai from Gila Bridge Site
 After Premature EXplo-

One dead, one seriously injured, was the toll of a premature explosion tha; occurred at Sequeta on the Arizona Eastern railroad yesterday morning at 9:30 o'clock
 Jesus Calamino died last evening at the Sisters hospital.
 Jesus Calamino and Philip Foley, members of the Arizona Eastern sec tion gang No. ,, were preparing a blast at the stone quarry. They were tamping a charge of giant powder when it exploded prematurely hurling the two men from the embankment where they had been working. Their fellow workmen rushed to their aid immediately. but the flames caused by the explosion had already done great damage to the injured men.
 The men were rushed to Tempe on a gasoline track car, where they received care at the hands of Doctors Dimes and Patterson of that city. As soon as possible the men were rushed to Phoenix to the Sisters hospital Here they were placed in the care of Doctors Win Wiley and George M. Broadway. The doctors gave little hope for the recovery of either man. Calamino died last evening at 7:15 o'clock, and at that time the nurses report that Foley was resting easy.

APPEAL TAKEN FUR MRS. BUTTS
 |S PRESENTED
Five Assignments of Error Alleged in Asking State
 Supreme Court to Free
 Woman on Murder Charge

An appeal from the order of Judge Stanford of the superior court deny ing a writ of habeas corpus to Mrs. Ethel Butts, charged with the murder of her sister law, Mrs. Amanda Butts, last spring, was filed in supreme court yesterday by Attorney F. Louis Zimmerman.
 On June IS Judge Stanford had granted a motion to discharge the de- fendant from the custody of the sherlff on the ground that the time within which an information should have been returned had lapsed. On the dlscnarge of the defendant she was taken into custody by Deputy Sheriff Warren where she sat. It was then that an application was made for the writ of habeas corpus and denied a few days later after hearing.
 There are five assignments of error. The court. it is alleged. erred in failing to carry it's own order of discharge; in failing to find that the detention of the defendant was in violation of her rights, and in not finding that Justice Wheeler. before whom she was straightWay taken after her re-arrest, was without jurisdiction.
 As to the first assignment of error. the case of Yule versus State. Al Pa cific. and several other authorities are cited This and other alleged errors of the lower court are claimed to be in contravention of the sixth amendment to the constitution of the United United States and Section "A, Article II of the Bill of Rights of the consti- tuition of Arizona.
 The defendant recently became the mother of baby boy at the Crltten- den Home, where she had been re- moved.

 Two of the changes were previous ly corrected in The Arizona Republi- can of Saturday morning and so have no affect

COOKS WANTED
 T0 WORK WHEN
 ARMY |S READY

Twentytwo hundred men are want ed in the army for duties which do not involve a great deal of peril. They are wanted for cooks and bakers, ac- cording to the following orders from the adjutant general. received at the recruiting office in Phoenix:
 In order that the training of bakers and cooks for the increased forces may be started at once it is requested that 1700 privates to be trained as bakers and 800 to be trained as cooks be transferred to the quartermasters corps at once.
 These should as far as possible be from men who have had experience as cooks or bakers in the army or in civil life. If not, they should be men of good physique, strong and robust who are willing to be trained as bakers and cooks.
 In the event there are not sufficient recruits possessing these qualifications at the recruit depots and recruit posts, it is further recommended that re- cruiting officers be authorized to re- cruit the required number. If possible certain defects should be waived. A man might be physically fit to perform

FREIGHT WRECK
 DELAYS TRAVEL
 OVER SANTA FE
Broken Wheel Said to Have Torn Up Track North of Wickenburg for Distance of 800 Feet; Details Few

Details of a freight wreck north of Wickenburg on the Santa Fe line to Prescott are lacking but it is re- ported that a broken wheel on one of the freight cars tore up 800 feet of track before the train could be stopped . At any rate the track was blocked from after the accident until too late to carry out the passenger schedule on this line, according to word given out in Phoenix last eve ming.
 The accident took place yesterday morning and disarrangcd shipping and travelling schedules for at least the day and, perhaps, for longer. So ar as can be learned no one was injured in the accident and the dam 1ge to the train was small as com, pared with that to the right of way. Inquiry at the Santa F'e offices here last evening disclosed an almost total lack of information with regard fo the accident here. Shippers of fruits and vegetables had more in- ormation about the accident appar- ently, than did the railway men themselves.
 There was also a minor smash up in the Glendale yards of the rail- way, according to reports received at the produce houses, which disar- ranged the schedule for the canta- loup shippers in measure Glendale is very busy yard at this time prac- tically taxed to it's capacity by the enormous quantity of cantaloups be- ing handled from that point.

 AND GAMBLING

Responding to the treatment of Judge Stanford who had granted him a sus- pended sentence a few weeks before. Lawrence Hubbard, a negro, yesterday confessed to the court that he had stolen some s20 or more from a nurse at St. Joseph's hospital and gambled the sum away at the Clover Leaf cub. Arrested by the city officers Hubbard refused to make a statement but when he was brought before the court which had given him another chance" he con- fessed his crime. He was sentenced to serve not less than one nor more than three years at the state penitentiary at Florence.
 After he was given suspended sen tence for theft of bicycle, he obtained employment at the hospital. He saw a few collars within easy reach, he said and made a getaway. He later lost the sum in a gambling game at the club.

Pauline Frederick at lamara


 U Those who have followed Pauline Frederick's film career will note the wide range of subjects and characters her work has covered. While there is no doubt about the fact that Miss Fred erick's best work is done in heavy emotional types of pictures, still the fact remains that this gifted actress of the screen possesses scope seldom equalled. For instance, she has paved an old woman in The Moment Be- fore;" wild young girl in Audrey" an adventures in "The Worlds Great Snare;" a quiet home-loving woman in The Woman in the Case;" again young girl, but this time suspected shoplifter, in Ashes of Embers," and many other varied characters.
 In her latest picture she portrays young wife and mother, fighting through the long battle of the counts for her child She is patient, loving and gentle until, as the title suggests the Sleeping Fires" are aroused when she becomes little short of a iloness fighting for her offspring and rises to heights of artistry. Sleeping Fires will be the featured attraction at the Lamara theater today and tomorrow.
