CARELESS WORD MAY
 MITIGATE MORE IN CRIME

POENHIX. Feb 22-The body of stephen Hughes. the Tempe rancher, who was murdered by L. Anderson al his home near that city on the night of December 2. was shipped last evening 10 the former home at Weir City, Kansas, where the fun eraI service will be held and burial lake place. Miss Margaret Hughes sister of the murdered man. who ar rived in Tempe Sunday night after several days spent at Fl Paso. where they worked together with Marsh al Browning in forcing Anderson 10 confess his crime. accompanied the body. The brother. though, who is an attorney-atla in Greenwood. Ar kansas, expects 10 return to Tempe within a few weeks to attend to the details of settling the estate.
 Thomas Hughes at Tempe last evening said that Anderson and Groff. thus far implicated in the mur- der of his brother. undoubtedly had accomplices in the crime. In the Fl Paso jail when young Anderson was giving his confession he continually referred 10 the other fellows" and in one instance said, they kept tell ing me I had cold feet and was afraid to do the job" From the conversation with both Anderson and Groff, Mir. Hughes gathered that the murder had been planned for some time. evidently by a party of men and that it had been cut and dried that Anderson was to do the job. Who the other fellows" were Anderson refused to say.

SOUTHWESTERN ENGINEERS
 TO ORGANIZE BODY

Most Arizona engineers. because of the distance from centers of popula- tion, have found il difficult or impos- sible to enjoy the revivifying and stimulating effects of attendance al meetings of national engineering so- cieties. This fact together with desire 10 study the peculiar problems and advance the interests of engi- neers of Arizona. New Mexico. and Texas. has led 10 the formation of the Southwestern Society of Engineers, which will hold it's first convention in Fl Paso. March s. and 10 An in teresting technical program has been arranged. and the social features of this gathering promise tt be very en- joyable.
 The proceedings of the society will be published. and other advantages than those mentioneds will accrue to members. The dues have been made comparatively low, and applications for charter membership will be receiv- ed up to the time of the convention It is hoped and believed that Ari- zona engineers will take a prominent part in this organization and will support the movement both by be- coming members and attending the convention.
 Application for membership blanks and further information can be ob tained from Dean G. NJ. Butler. Uni versity of Arizona, Tucson.
