Tonight the railroad de tectives are frank in asserting they expect to hear of Carlisle definitely when the young bandit attempts to hold up another passenger train.

State Engineer Is Opposed tONatiOnal Highway AidUnder
 TOwnsendMeasure

PHOENIX, Ariz., Nov. 22.-State Engineer Maddock today addressed a letter to Harry Welch of this city, member of the federal highway coun- cil, in opposition to the Townsend bill relating to constructing of a national highway system. Six req sons were cited by the state engineer why he said the state should disap prove the measure
 His first objection was that the proposed appropriation Of $425,- 100000 was not over 15 per cent of the amount necessary for carrying out the program. The amount appro- priated for the first two years would not even suffice for the government to take over the roads already con structed by states and counties on the routes contemplated if the right of way costs were included as the bill provided.
 For second reason Maddock pointed out that no provision was made to secure for Arizona any spe- cific benefits, although AriZona's proportionate tax contributions would be certain. There was no certainty he said, of Arizona getting anything out of the first S425, 100000.

Governor Campbell DenOunces Boxing
 Letter to Minister

PHOENIX, Ariz.. Nov. 22.-Gover- nor Campbell denounced prize fight ing in a letter today to Rev. Harlan Page Cory of Webb, Ariz., character izing it as brutal and degrading. The governor, in the letter, said he had permitted the passage of the bill permitting pugilism in Arizona be- cause he had supposed the bill to be one merely for the purpose of le- galizing boxing bouts which the re- turned soldiers desired. He added, however, that the soldiers. had not benefited and promoters had taken full advantage of the bill.
 Governor Campbell wrote that his desk was piled high with protests from church people with requests for his aid in securing repeal of the box ing law known as house bill No. 113. He stated that in his message to the legislature he would advocate the repeal of the law and added that if any effort were made to legaliZe bull fighting in Arizona he would find pleasure in vetoing a bill to that effect.

Plan to Fix Price
 On Sugar Mistake,
 Says the Chairman

NEW YORK, Nov. 22.-The gov ernment's announced intention of fixing a flat general price of 12 cents a pound for sugar was criticized to- day by Geo. A. Zabriski, chairman of the sugar equalization board, who said that without such action a re duction in the price of sugar might be expected.
 The establishment of flat rate he said, would operate as an auto matic minimum to raise the price oi all beet sugar produced in this coun try, most of which can be manufac tured on a 101a or even 10 cent basis. Cuban producers, he added would be inspired under the fixed 12 cent rate to hold their entire out put for that price.
 MT. Zabriskie expressed the behel that the sugar shortage in various parts of the country is only tempo rary and will soon be remedied. He said it was his opinion that it is toe late for any effective governmental control of the sugar industry

TREATY TROVERSY
 STANDS STILL
Legislators Leave For Homes and White House Gossip Flushed to Await Next
 Session On Dec. 1

WASHINGTON, Nov. P. - The peace treaty controversy apparently entered tonight upon a week of wait ing, while sentiment crystalizes for a compromise or for a finish fight in the 1920 political campaign.
 Most of the few senators who re- mained here after the closing of the session, left for honeduring the day, and there was no indication at the White House that the president had changed his decision to let treaty is sues stand where they are untIl he sends his message to the new session of congress a week from Monday:
 Senator Hitchcock of Nebraska, the administration leader in the treaty fight, issued a statement today be- fore starting home, reiterating his be- lief that ratification yet would be ac- complished He said, however, that reservations were Inevitable"
 The stand in favor of carrying the reservation fight into the campaign, outlined last night in a statement by LOuSc, was uG clared by MT. Hitchcock to have been actuated more by politics than by patriotism.
 The only word from the White House during the day was a state ment by Secretary Tumulty saying that the president was in thorough accord with Senator Hitchcock management of the fight for ratifica tion and was taking no part in the choice of a Democrataic senate leader i to succeed the late Senator Martin
 The statement was directed against published reports that Senator Under
 wood of Alabama would have Mir 1 Wilson's backing for the leadership.
 In the coming week many senators on both sides are expected to feel ou sentiment in their home states.

IF -SECY. WILSON
 ARE REJECTED
 BY OPERATORS
Fuel Administrator Garfield Given Case After Two Fac tions Fail to Agree On
 New Wage Scale

WASHINGTON, Nov. 22.-Refusing to accept proposals made by Secre' tary Wilson as a basis for further ne gotiations, soft coal operators of the central competitive field rested their case today with Fuel Administrator Garfield, whose official approval IS necessary to validate any new wage agreement.
 The public would not stand for a wage advance above their offer of Ia cents per ton to coal diggers, and 20 Der cent to day laborers, the opera tors asserted. They refused to make further overtures or even to rem state their proposal, whlcs was with drawn following the deadlock Frlday' unless the government, through the fuel administration, assumed respof sibility for the added burden to the nations fuel bill.
 The operators are prepared to leave the entire situation in. the hands of the government, unless Dr. Gar field can find a way out of the diffi- culty. their spokesmen announced. No joint meetings of the suD-scale com mittee were held today.
 Dr. Garfield notified the mine own CTS that he would not meet their committee, of which Thomas T. Brewster is chairman, until after he has consulted Monday with Attorney General Palmer, Director General Hines and Judge c. B. Ames, assistant attorney general. It was considered likely that the negotiations might have to go over until after the cab inet meeting Tuesday. when it was expected a policy to get the mines back into operation before the threat ening coal famine brings disaster, will be worked out.
 Operators representatives author ized the statement that in their opin- ion figures on which Secretary Will son based his proposals, showing liv- ing costs in the coal region, were partisan. The secretary told the sub- scale committee Friday that he did not speak for the government, 1t was said. T
 Dr. Garfield is said to have told in- dividual operators that the offer made by them is as large as present conditions justify.
 Following a two-hour session oi the miners, Mir Lewis announced that the workers had accepted Sec retary Wilson's proposal. This prop osition, submitted last Friday, as made public today by Mir. Wilson provided for an increase in mining rates of 27.12 cents per ton, a flat increase in day wages of $1.5S, and an increase in yards and dead work of 31.61 per cent.
 Mir Lewis also announced that the miners stood on their counter propo sal for a seven hour day, a Satur day half holiday and reference of all internal disputes back to the dis tricts in which they originate for settlement.
