NEVIS OF INTEREST GATHERED
 HERE AND THERE IN THE STATE
TORRES COUNSEL TO MAKE
 EFFORT TO SAVE. CLIENT

PHOENIX, ARlZ.-Assistant At torney General Luis B. Whitney said he had received word that counsel for Simplicio Torres, under sentence to be hanged April Is, upon conviction of a charge of having murdered Con stable Victor H. Meick near Flag staff, Coconino county, last July, were for second time about to appeal to the state supreme court in an effort to save their client. The assistant at- torney general said Torres counsel first appealed from the sentence of death passed by the superior court of Coconino county and the attorney gen erals office entered motion for dismiss sal of the appeal on the ground that it had been made from the sentence intsead of from the judgment. In it's opinion the supreme court held, said Mir. Whitney, that counsel could not appeal from the sentence and dismiss ed the appeal with instructions to the lower court to resentence Torres. When the office of the attorney gen. eral was notified by the county attor- ney of Coconino county that a second appeal in Torres case was being pre- pared, steps were taken to prepare a motion to dismiss.
 The state board of pardons and pa roles had already announced that at its meeting late this week it would consider an application of friends of Torres for communication of sentence to life imprisonment, insanity being all legged.
 If sentence is carried out on the date set, it will be the first execution in Arizona since capital punishment was restored.

LOSS $3,oo0,ooo IN HOTEL
FIRE; SEARCH FOR BODIES

OLD POINT COMFORT. Va, March
S.-Firemen, aided by civilians and
soldiers from Fortress Monroe today
began searching the ruins of the
Chamberlain hotel for possible victims
of the fire which early last night alb
solutely destroyed the big structure.
Efforts also were being made to
check up the 200 or more guests as
well as the list of the ITO employees,
but this task was slow because the
hotel register and other records were
destroyed in the flames. There were
rumors that two or three persons
had persisted in the fire, but these
were discounted.
The Chamberlain probably was one
of the best known tourist hotels on
the Atlantic coast. The loss, includ-
ing the effects of guests, was esti-
mated at more than $3,0O0,000.

English corn maXimums are removed.
Just how the corn futures are to

the cash stuff advances a little every

very little effect. Locals may con-
tinue to buy corn on dips. Oats are
neglected. The crowd Is in corn and
the export oats demand is dull.
