UNCLE JOHN MANKINS
 CROSSES GREAT DIVIDE

GLOBE, Sept. 9.-John Mankins, trail-blazer, pioneer prospector and the oldest inhabitant of Gila county, passed away at the county hospital yesterday after lingering illness.
 Mankins, who was about S4 years of age, came to Gila county more than 50 years ago and prospected the hills of this district before many white men dared cross the trails. Of late years Mankins lived on the Up per Tonto, on what is known as the Dell Shea gold property. He was a familiar figure on the streets of Globe during his regular visits here and Uncle John Mankins was known to practically every resident of his district.
 Old timers state that Mankins was one of the hardy pioneers who blazed the trail to California in the Days of '49' and later started with the rush to Virginia City, NevadaJ Man. kins, it is stated, at one time owned the richest placer mine in California, but in his eagerness to develop new mines he cast his fortune with the prospectors who came to Arizona and his fortune slowly dwindled away. So far as known Mankins never mar ried His body will be held at the Jones mortuary pending receipt of instructions from friends in Califor- mia.

CATTLE DIE FROM THE
 DROUGHT NEAR PARKER

PARKER, Sept. 9.-FOr the first time in many years a serious drouth has visited the ranges along the Colorado river on the Indian reserva- ton near Parker, and large num- Der of cattle are dying.
 This is the import of information received by Ed. w. Stephens. secre- tary of the state livestock sanitary board. from Inspector John Roberts. The lack of feed is due primarily to the fact that there has been ao over. flow of the Colorado river this year and this together with a lack of rain has produced conditions unusual in the extreme. The overflow as a rule produces large crop of mesquite beans along the river bottoms as well

SLAYER OF Wife
SHOT BY SOLDIER
Tragedy Follows Quarrel at
Rooms of Dead Woman;
Spouse Jealous

Jealousy was blamed for two
deaths last night, when Private
George Prater, stationed at Fort
Huachuca, shot and killed his wife,
Violet, and was in turn slain by Ser
geant A. Carter, also of Fort Hua-
chuca.
The shooting followed a quarrel in
which Prater and his wife engaged
the former working himself into a
fit of jealous rage and then shooting
his spouse Carter, who arrived on
the scene just before the shooting
shot Prater in self-defense, as the
latter had turned his gun on him.
According to Sheriff James McDon
aid, Prater and his wife had been
quarreling for some time, and off
GERS at the fort decided that for the
wife's safety she should leave the dis.
trict for a time Last night, before
leaving, Sergeant Carter was assigned
to act as her bodyguard, and was on
his way to her rooms when he heard
the quarreling.
Carter rushed into the rooms and
tried to halt the quarrel, but was just
in time to see Prater draw his pistol
and shoot his wife. Prater then turned
the gun on Carter, but before he could
fire the latter shot him through the
heart, killing him instantly.
Carter Immediately notified officers
at the fort of the tragedy, and Sheriff
Mcdonald was sent to the scene of the
shooting, which occurred at a small
house known to officers at the fort as
Joys Place" Carter was turned over
to the military police, but it was an
nounced last night that he probably
will be released, as his story of the af-
fair is supported by Mamie Exelle,
who says she witnessed the fatalities.
Pending further investigation the
Exelle woman is being held by Nc
Donald, in case any intricate matters
in the shooting develop. According
to Mcdonald, last nights double trag-
edy is the third shooting fray that the
Exeile woman has witnessed.
Prater, his wife, and Carter all are
colored.

Commission Reports 1t rs
Reluctantly to Refuse to
Adopt Racial Amendment"
Unanimous Consent Neces-
sary to Adopt Change, and
Some Refuse to Vote 1t
By Review Leased wirel

PARIS, April 12.-The league of ma
Japanese amendment on racial equal
ity according TO an authoritative
statement issued tonight. Some of
the members of the commission voted
against the specific inclusion sOf this
amendment in the covenant and, as
unanimous approval of the commission
was necessary the amendment which
was strongly urged by the Japanese
delegates, failed of adoption.
The statement foESss
AT meeting of the league of ma
tions' commission on Friday. April IL
the Japanese delegation proposed an
amendment to the preamble of the
covenant as follows: To insert after
the words by the prescription of open,
just and honorable relations between
nations an additional clause to read:
BY the endorsement of the principle
of equality of nations and just treat
ment of their nationals
'"The amendment was admirably pre-
sented by Baron Maxine. In the
course of his speech he emphasized
the great desire of the Japanese gov
ernment and of the Japanese people
that such a principle be recognized
in the covenant. His argument was
supported with great force by Wis
count Chinda
"A discussion followed. in which
practically all of the members of the
commission participated. The discus
sino was marked by breadth OF
l7f nd
change of opinion and a complete ap-
probation by the members of the COM
mission of the difficulties which lay
in the way of either accepting or re-
jecting the amendment.
"The commission was impressed by
the justice of the Japanese claim and
by the spirit in which it was present
ed. Mention was frequently made in
the course of the discussion of the
fact that the covenant provided for
the representation of Japan on the
executive council as one of the five
great powers, and that re-
lection of the proposed amendment
could not, therefore, be construed as
diminishing the prestige of Japan.
Various members of the commits
sion, however, felt that they could not
vote for its specific inclusion in the
covenant. Therefore, the commission
was reluctantly unable to give to the
amendment that approval which is
necessary for its adoption"
The preamble of the covenant of the
league of nations, in which the
Japanese sought the inclusion of their
amendment reads as follows:
In order to promote international
cooperation and to secure interna-
tional peace and security by the ac-
ceptance of obligations not to resort
to war, by the prescription of open,
just and honorable relations between
nations, by the firm establishment of
the understandings of international
law as the actual rule of conduct
among governments, and by the main
tenance of just and a scrupulous re-
spect for all treaty obligations in the
dealings of organized peoples with one
another, the powers signatory to this
covenant adopt this constitution of the
league of nations"
