STATE LAND OFFICE
 STILL UNDER FIRE

Phoenix, May 20.--With the re- sumption this week of the investiga- tion of the state land board into the alleged irregularities practiced by W. A. Moeur, land commissioner, and the land department, prominent leaders of the democratic party are on the ground using every influence possible to auash the probe. Thus far all ef- forts to hush up the investigation have proven futile and the four democratic members of the board as well as Gov ernor Campbell are standing pat on the proposition that now that the in vestigation has been agreed upon it must go through to the end allowing every person in the state who has a grievance an opportunity to present it.
 This investigation was started by Moeur. It was his attorney, George Purdy Bullard, who demanded it. It was State Treasurer Ross and Secre- tary of State Sims, who asked the governor to call the executive meet ing of the board which resulted in it, and every member of the board voted in favor of it. Ross and Sims believed that an investigation would result in vindication of Moeur. Wiley Jones, the attorney general, and State Auditor Boyce agreed to it as means to an end, that of securing concrete evi- dence which would result in the re- moval of Moeur for cause, and Gov ernor Campbell agreed to it as mat ter of fairness to the land commis- sioner and the department.
 Practically every big cattleman in the state is on the ground, attempting Moeur and a continuance of the easy going policy of the department which has made the leasing of state lands at few cents an acre an easy proposi- tion for the man on the inside.
 Though Moeur demanded the inves- tigation and courted the fullest in- quiry into his conduct of the office, he has now assumed surly truculent at- titude with reference to the supplying of certain information. "I have never accepted dishonest dollar in my life" declared Moeur at the opening of the proceedings, but when Atom ey F. c. Struckmyer, representing the board, attempted to find out about the Moeur oil well transactions and the manipulation of his campaign accounts he was met by absolute refusal on the part of Moeur and his deputy, Ben Clark.
 Struckmyer charges that Moeur sold stock in an oil we'll which he was pro- noting to prominent cattlemen throughout the state who had business pending before the land department of which Moeur was sole arbiter, but when he sought to have the records of the company brought into the hear ing, Moeur refused on the ground that it was private business. For the same reason Clark refused to subnxt statement showing funds on deposit in his name at a Stafford bank. From these funds, Clark previously had tes- tified he had drawn s25O with which to refund S. G. Barrows, of Benson, Barrows having donated that amount
The Coconino sun., 1920-05-21

to Moeui's campaign expenses when he was running for governor.
 The testimony to date has been amazing as bringing out the czar-like administration of affairs under the commissioner. A number of charges have been made of fragrant and ire quent violation of the land code and the rules of the department, and these are supported by evidence of the most concrete nature.
 The scope of the present investiga- ton has been widened to such an ex- tent, and so many new complainants are appearing that is is probable that it cannot be completed before June |.

PRISONER HAS EPILEPTIC FIT
 DURING TRIAL IN U. s. COURT

The grinding of the wheels of jus tice in the United States court was interrupted at Tucson when Henry Watson was attacked with an epilep- tic fit while being araigned. Watson was charged with having whiskey in his possession. In the midst of the case he fell over and a doctor was summoned. After few minutes he recovered and the wheels of justice resumed their grinding. U. s, Mar shal Treahey said he could not recall a similar interruption in the local fed eral court during his five years in of- flee.

MRS. ROBERT J. BURDETTE
 MAY RUN FOR CONGRESS

Mrs. Robert J. Burdette, widow of the celebrated humorist who made the Burlington Hawkeye famous, is likely to be the republican candidate for con- gress in the Ninth California district which is now represented by Charles H. Randall, prohibitionist. Mrs. Bur dette, who has lived in California for years, took a a lively interest in poli- tics as a republican long before wom- en got the ballot in that state.
