Immigration service at Fl Paso, would attend the session tomorrow, as well as other representatives of the federal service.
 The principal witness of the morning was W. H. Knox, secretary of the Ari- zona Cotton Growers association, who explained the number of additional az ricultural laborers needed, the pres ent available supply of such labor, and was requested by the committee to prepare a definite statement on behalf of the cotton growers showing the exact amount of additional agricultural | labor that was estimated would be needed each month for the ensuing ! year.
 Among the cotton growers who ap- peared in addition to MT. Knox, and 1 were questioned by the chairman of the committee or it's members, were the | following: Charles Woolf. attorney of the association. who spoke from an | intimate knowledge of the Mexican situation made from a number of trips | into Mexico on behalf of the associa- tion; H. A. Atha, the first man who grew cotton in large quantities in the | Salt River valley; Charles Campbell who is associated with Otto Hansen in growing cotton quite extensively near Glendale. and where a community cen ter for the Mexican laborers has been developed which was interestingly de- scribed by Mrs. Hansen; Garnett Holmes of the Holmes Wooten com pany; J. s. HeaTa and a number of other growers.
 Most of these witnesses were also questioned by Mir. 'Scharrenberg par ticularly as to the housing and general
 welfare conditions which had main tained among the cotton laborers dur
 ing the past year. There was a dispo-
 sition throughout the hearing, on the part of the committee to get impar- tially at the actual facts of the situa-

Was Ma7a Kicked or Shoved, Issue
 Is Up To Court

But for an alleged admission made in the office of the county attorney by w. A. Benson who tice De Souza's court yesterday on charge of committing an assault of peculiarly violent character on J. B. Tosh the affair would be shrouded in almost as deep a mys- tery as that thrown about the en- gagement between one Billy Pat terson and some party whose iden- tity has remained concealed for more than half a century.
 Still, by the process of elimina- ton the inquiry is this case has been narrowed down to Benson and a couple of mules. There was mo- body else in the immediate vicinity. THE MULES OH WHERE
 WERE THEY
 This affair occurred on a ranch eight miles north east of Phoenix on February 28. Benson and Tosh were members of grading gang. Tosh who appeared in court with halting step and a bandage like turban about his head, through which the blood was yet Altering, told the story of his misadventure. He said that on the aforementioned day he took his team into the place where it was to be fed. This was just before noon. He saw other members of the gang approaching with their teams but they were at a distance.
 SOME DAYS ELAPSE HERE
 Tosh saw nothing after that for several days. He next noticed that he was in a room where all the furniture was white and a woman moved noiselessly about. The ~ scenery was so different from his last surroundings that he was moved to inquire where he was, and was told, the Sisters hospital. He had not seen Benson just pre- vious to losing consciousness. He could not of his own knowledge say what had laid him low.
 Tosh said he had had no trouble with Benson and had not spoken to him that day. On cross -examina- ton he denied that he had applied approbrious epithets to Benson.
 BENSON OR THE MULES?
 Two other witnesses had seen Tosh at a distance and when they came up they found him lying on the ground, bleeding from a wound on the left side of his head back of the ear. They had seen no one strike him. Benson was some dis tance away and the mules were just as near. There was nothing about either the mules or Benson to indi- cate guilt of recent assault, but the hereditary reputation of the mules was against them.
 The defense on ross-examina- ton failed to avail itself of the mule theory of defense as fully as it might have done, for it sought to bring out the fact that there had been illfeeling between the two men; that Benson had been under names Tosh had called him and be- made against him. No effort was made to show a motive on the part of the mules.
 MAY ExONERATE MULES
 The county attorney took the stand and said that Benson after his arrest had admitted to him that he had struck Tosh. Benson in his own behalf went on the stand and said that he had made no such ad r. mission. That was the way the matter stood when court was ad iourned for the day, and a con tinuance was taken until this morning in the hope that some eye witness may be turned up to ex- onerate the mules.

 MOBILIZATION ' |S PLANNED
Arizona Director Orme at Meeting of Rotary Club
 Tells of Plans Now Made
 for Drive This Summer

The question of the mobilization Of the Boys Working Reserve. which has been ordered by w. E. Hall, national director, came prominently before the members of the Rotary club at thelr weekly luncheon yesterday, Linn $. Orme. Arizona director of the Work, bringing the matter up.
 It is recalled that Linn Orme was in fact the first man of record In the United States who in 1917 suggested and personally carried out the first successful Boys Working Reserve work. It was an idea started by MT. Orme and presented in full soon after by him to the Rotary club of Phoenix of which he is a member. It was about month after the Phoenix boys had been in the harness that similar or ganizations with similar work was perfected in other parts of the United States. and a nationaf movement be- gun.
 The Rotary club was yesterday, l therefore, particularly interested in the talk made by MT. Orme. MT. Orme asked for the hearty cooperation of the Phoenix business men, and again asked for the Rotary clubs continued help, as explained by MT. Orme. His work was so effective last year with the help of the Phoenix high school teachers | that the work will be followed with more vigor and more completeness this year.
 Another important part of yester- days Rotary meeting was the report made by President Charles B. Christy of the governor district convention ot the Rotary club of the Pacific coast, al the Sacramento convention held late ir February.
 Chaplain Minifie of London made ar interesting talk. referring briefly to his experiences in Frances fighting front and eloquently expressing the allie: appreciation of America.
 1 The president of the club announced that Jim Stewart has become a grand father. MT. Stewart was fined a bo! of cigars. Mir. Stewart does not smok, and is really young man. but th' Rotary club wished to express its pleas ure that one so young should become ; grandfather and the members insisted on smoking on Jim Stewart"

Notable Bill at Hip Today

The Hip presents today for the final time an ideal screen combina- tion. The feature brings Dorothy Kelly and Montague Love in a wis utilization of the widely read novel "The Beast served under the title of "The Awakening smart picture of two sides of society.
 For once in the history of pictures, the ideal comedy has been found. Not slap-stick, not horse play, but clean high class comedy with a satiracle touch that makes it stand out in a class by itself. It is called "The Screen Fan,' and was suggested from the famous pictures by Mont gomery Flagg. the international artist This girl loves the movies like a Mohammedan does his shrine. She tries at last to break into the circle herself and from the moment that she enters the studio lot to her exit, the comedy is one riot of clean fun. It does not contain a single slap stick move, but it is just brim full of the smartest kind of subtitles in satire and the comedy is the sort that the average picture fan waits to see but seldom has the chance of witnessing.
