NEW LEAGUE
PROPOSAL TENTATIVE.
Marion, Ohio, Dec. 16.

The calling of a new peace
conference to meet in the United
States to revise the League of
Nations covenant or to organize
a new association of nations, is
one of the projects under con-
sideration by President-Elect
Harding. The conference prob
ably would be held in Washing
ton.
Harding has not made final
decision on this proposal, but it
is understood he is seriously con-
sidering it. Such conference,
Harding's advisers say, could
either reshape the existing
league framework or create an
entirely new structure.

Annual Report Of Secretary
of Nogales Chamber of Commerce

Mr.. ]. B. Bristol, secretary of
the Nogales Chamber of Com
merce, submitted his annual re-
port to the maeting which was
held in the club rooms last
evening. Addressing a large
gathering of Nogales business
men, Mr.. Bristol spoke, in part,
as follows:
Throughout the history of
it's entire existence, the Nogales
Chamber of Commerce has nev-
er undertaken a matter of more
vital interest to it's numbers nor
of greater Importance from a
national and international stand
point than the first trade excur-
sion down the west coast of Mex
leo. This trip, through a coun-
try which had been held back to
a point of absolute discourage
ment for many years and where
the people had not seen a Pull
man car in five years, was the
big factor in this work of the
development of friendly inte1na-
tional relations.
During the year 1919, follow
ing the trade excursion, as a di-
rect part of the work of cement
ing friendly relations and i'm
proving trade conditions, the
Chamber was actively engaged
in insisting upon removal Of
passport restrictions, the lessen
ing of effects of certain ernbar-
gos and other similar matters.
On September 9 the Chamber
of Commerce started to make
plans to run an excursion to the
City Of Mexico in order that the
friends Of President Obregon in
the west coast of Mexico and at
Nogales might be present when
he was inaugurated as president
of the Republic of Mexico.
AS report on the Inaugural
Special will be presented by the
manager, DR.. A. L. Gustetter,
no further reference to came will
be made in this report, except to
state that this event rounded
out the great work of the No
gales Chambers of Commerce in
bringing about the present amic-
able situation with Mexico, a
work that in itself justifies the

10000 unemployed
In Portland, Oregon
Portland, Ore, Dec. 16-

Portland, Ore, Dec. 16.
Ten thousand men are with
out employment in this city, ac-
cording to a report which has
been made by investigators to
Mayor Baker.
No prospect of relief is in
sight and a committee has been
appointed by the mayor to send
broadcast the warning to those
seeking employment that they
should shun Portland.
However, statistics gathered
show more men are now en-
ployed in Portland than at any
time in the history of the city.
The majority of men looking
for jobs here are persons who
drifted into the city for the
winter.

Magdalena in bad condition, and
as Altar leads direct to Pitiquite
and Caborca, which lead into the
great agricultural regions Of the
west coast it would be to the adj
vantage of the people-especial-
ly the business man-here to see
to it that these roads were
looked after. The Importance of
NOgales as port demands that
lnuch interest, said Mr.. Finkley,
as the members listened
with keen interest to his lucid
description of the conditions he
foIDd and +ke quaint missions
he visited.
The acting president moved a
vote of thanks be sent to Presi-
dent Obregon of Mexico for the
cordial reception and countless
courtesies extended the Nogales
Chamber of Commerce during
their sojou1n in the southern re-
public. The motion was second
ed and carried unanimously.
A committee was appointed to
draft resolutions on the various
matters that came up for discus
sion and were passed. Officers
will be elected at a later date by
the new board of directors.
The meeting was well attend
ed, very few business men of the
city not responding to the roll
call. The meeting closed at
10:45 pm.

SENSATIONAL.
RAvISH CASE.
ISBEINC TRIED.
San Francisco, Dec. 16.

Ed (Spud) Murphy, known
from one end of the coast to the
other as prize fighter, went
to trial here today on the first
of the so-called Howard street
vice gang" indictments
Murphy will be tried for an
alleged felonious assault against
Jean Stanley of Portland, Ore,
said in the indictment to have
been committed at a shack at
1856 1-2 Howard street, San
Francisco.
The charges against Murphy,
as well as against Ed Ok %
Kluvosky, pugilist; Allen Nc
Donnell, James Carey and Thos.
Brady, will be tried later and
would not stand description in
pint.
Murphy was arrested after
Miss Stanley and Miss Jessie
Montgomery had told their story
of the alleged gang assaults
upon them to the police. Muir
ply was taken at the point of a
gun after a thrilling chase over
housetops.
The arrest of Murphy and his
four associates here was follow
ed by the arrest of Charles Va
lento, George Boyd and Torrance
Fits at Santa Rosa as alleged
gangSters. 1t was in making
these arrests that Sheriff Jas.
Petray of Sonoma county and
Detectives Miles Jackson and
Lester Dorman of San Francisco
were shot dead by the gangsters.
The lynchi.' gs of Boyd, Fits
and Valento by a band of angry
citizens at Santa Rosa followed
quickly.

continued support of the Cham
ber by every business man in
Nogales.
In the absence of an accurate
census during the past ten years
various estimates as to the
growth of Nogales had been
published from time to time, the
guasses ranging from 5000 to
5000 people. In the fall Of 1919
the secretary estimated the opp
ulation at 6400. The result of
the 1920 census was such a dis
appointment locally as to cause
a protest to be raised. The re-
suit of the investigation, howev-
er, did not indicate that over
200 people had been missed in
taking the census. The census
report disclosed that we had
5199 people, exclusive of the
military population in the city
of Nogales and that the county
contained 1850 people.
In order to take advantage Of
federal aid in construction of
highways, this chamber advo-
Gated the bonding of the county
for an additional sum of $780,
600 for the construction of a
main highway from the north
last part of the county to No
Gales, the said stretch of road
being a part of the state high
way from Tombstone to Nogales
known as the military branch of
the Bankhead highway. A meet
ing was held at Patagonia on
May 27 in furtherance of this
proposition. The election for
the bonds was carried by a big
majority and the work is ready
to start.
The federal building site ques-
ton was one of the difficult
problems during the year and
one that for a time created no
little discord in the community.
The government, however, set
tied the matter in it's own way
and the federal building will be
constructed at the corner Of
Morley avenue and Hudgin
street.

BILL PROPOSED
TO CURB COAL HOGS.
Washington. Dec. 16.

Washington, Dec. 16.
Supervision of coal industry
by a federal trade committee
probably will be provided in a
bill now being drawn by Senator
Calder, Republican, of New
York.
The proposed bill is the result
of Calder's report to the Senate
that coal profiteering is a ma
,tional disgrace, partly response
BILE for the serious housing
shortage, and is retarding recon-
struction generally.

WaSnlngCon, Dec. 10.
Twenty American citizens are
still held prisoners by the Rus
sian Bolshiviki, it was stated to-
day at the state department.
Included in this number is
Miss Margaret Harrison, sister
in-law of Governor Richie of
Maryland, who went to Russia
as correspondent.
Most of the prisoners are de-
tanned at Moscow, and at least
one of the Americans, according
to latest advicol, has been in

years, causing his health to be

of the Mexican government and
that so long as they remained on
Mexican soil they might send all
the wires they wanted to free of
charge.
In the course of a speech
President Obregon stated that
Mexico owed a debt of gratitude
to the Nogales Chamber of
Commerce and to the people of
Nogales for initiating such an
excursion, according to DR.. Gus
letter. The publicity that No
gales obtained would do a very
great deal for the city, and they
were informed by the leaders of
other parties, from Phoenix, Los
Angeles and other points, that in
event Nogales initiated another
such excursion they could be
depended upon to render all the
assistance in their power.
DR.. Gustetter aroused some
vain regrets by announcing that
champagne was somewhat more
than plentiful-he was modest
enough not to say how much
they consumed. He also spoke
of something weird which he
called "red tequila."
Captain Mix followed DR.. Gus
letter, celebrating On the doc
tors remarks regarding the
magnificence of their reception
in Mexico and the endless chain
of entertainment and excursions.
Mr.. Frank Pinkley, a member
of the National Park Service,
who returned yesterday evening
from an extensive tour of So
nora, spoke at length on the
roads, missions and other items
of interest 10 the immediate
south. He was accompanied by
Mr.. Prentice Duell, Mr.. H. o.
Jaastad and Lester A. Losey.
Some of the roads they trav-
eled, said Mr.. Pinkley, were
good and well kept; others were
not, and it was with the latter
he was most concerned, in an
effort to arouse the interest of
both the Chamber Of Commerce
and the people, to a realization
of the benefits in keeping these
roads in good condition. Tubu-
tama is some fifty-odd miles
southwest of Nogales, Sonora,
and there is no road direct from
Nogales. Goods are now routed
from Nogales to San Ignacio,
and thence to Magdalena, and
from Magdalena they must go
across country in a northwestern
ly direction to Tubutama. This
roundabout course could be OBJ
Waited by the building of a road
southwest to Saric, about forty
miles, and another ten odd
miles to Tubutama, cutting the
time and trouble in half.

Secretary's Report Reviews Activities
of Chamber During the Past Year;
Annual Meeting Was Well Attended

| lIO c1lluOL AilCOIAAlS VI VAN
Nogales Chamber of Commerce
was held last evening in the
Chamber of Commerce rooms,
Grant avenue. In the absence of
President Bracey Curtis, who is
confined to his home with an
attack of influenza, Mr.. F. j.
Barry presided.
The meeting was called to Or
der at $40 by the acting presi-
dent, who requested the secre-
tary, Mr.. J. B. Bristol, to call
the roll.
This having been done, the
acting president requested that
any one present who was not
represented in the roll call make
himself known. Mr.. E. A. Tit
comb, of the firm Of Roy Tit
comb & Co., rose to ask that he
be placed on the roll.
The secretary was called upon
to read his annual report, which
was listened to with great inter-
est. He dwelt upon the excur-
sion to the Inauguration Of Pres
ident Obregon and the benefits
that would accrue to the city of
Nogales from the publicity. Our
relations with Mexico, the cen
sus, immigration and freight
rates were touched upon, and
regarding more local matters the
secretary declared that it was
the desire of every business man
in the city that carnivals should
not be permitted to operate in
Nogales.
The mining situation was
touched on briefly and the fol-
lowing telegram was read from
Senator Ashurst of Arizona:

tension of time until July. 1 of

Senator Henry F. Ashurst.
Mr.. Titcomb spoke of the i'm
'portance of Nogales handling
west coast products, and refer
red to what he considered incon-
sistencies in the prevailing in
surance rates. Mr.. Griffith, who
has had considerable expe-
rienca along those lines, replied
very fully.
The president requested DR..
Gustetter to speak of his expe-
riences while in Mexico City and
his impressions of the political
and economic effect of the visit
of so large a party of Americans
at one time.
DR.. Gustetter, in reply, stated
the last excursion to Mexico City
was a success from beginning to
end. There were five represen-
tatives from the city of Nogales.
There were 1873 persons all told
on the special. The American
visitors were, stated the doctor,
in reality as well as in name the
guests of both President Obre-
gon and the Mexican nation. The
courtesies shown the Americans,
he said, were far morethan any,
one could have expected. The
President and Mrs. Obregon met
the train in Mexico City, and
the visitors were told that if
they cared to telegraph back
home advising their friends Of
their safe arrival, that such COM
munications were at the expense

For two whole hours Bird remained
