GIRL s CASE At
THE COUNTY JAIL
IS INVESTIGATED

John w. Wilson, justice of the
peace of precinct 26, is in receipt
of a letter from Mrs. Rupert f..
Asplund, chairman of the state of
New Mexico girls welfare board,
making inquiry in regard to a girl
who, it is alleged, is I years old
and is serving a ninety-day sent
ence at the county Jail for incorri-
gibility. 1t was through Judge
Wilson's court the girl received
sentence.
Mrs. Asplund's inquiry was to as
certain if the girl was seventeen,
in which event she would have been
subject for the girls welfare
board.
Mention was made of the case a
few days ago in the columns of the
Morning journal in relation to an
exposure made of the present con-
'dition at the county Jail. Judge
Wilson, Immediately after reading
the article, made an investigation
of the case and the same state
ment was made to him them by the
girl as she made at the day of her
hearing, that she was now in her
twentieth year, This statement
was substantiated at the trial by
her father, who filed the complaint
which led to her being sent to jail.
At the time of the hearing, evil
dence was introduced to the effect
that the girl had left home on sew
eral different occasions without the
consent of her father and would be
gone several days.
1t was in connection with this
case that Manuel Candelaria paid a
fine of $S5 for abducting the girl,
and it was during his trial that the
girl defiantly refused to return
home to her father, giving no rea-
son to the court only that she
wanted to go and do as she pleased.
This the court refused to let her
do and committed her to the coun-
ty Jail for a period Of ninety days.
If the girl had been seventeen
years of age as stated she would
have been sent to the district court
who would have committed her to
the state girls welfare home.

their share Of good speakers, but
Ben Scovell led them all when he

BOXING IS To BE
REVIVED At ARMY
POST IN TEXAS

frankie FoWser and Kid ShankS
are the headliners on a boxing card
to take place at Fort Bliss. FL Paso,
"Wednesday night. March 10. This
bout will mark the reopening Of
the glove game in El Paso and
much interest is being shown by
the Ell PasO patrons of the hempen
square as for the last six months
there have been no boxing bouts
staged in that city, or at Fort
Bliss.
The last fight to take place at
the fort was held on Labor day OF
last year when Otto Wallace and
Gene belmont fought a fifteen
round draw. Shortly after this
fight an order came from the
southern department headquarters
" hich prohibited paid boxing bouts
in all army posts and caused much
gloom among the fighters, match
makers and fans. The gloom is all
fading into smiles now that the
army officials are endorsing the
reopenng of the studorium, and
the promoters are right on the trail
for good fighters, as they nave
tllt lang tN NfhN
two weeks,
Kid George had so many nice
words to say to his El Paso FRIENDS
about Walter Caldwell that the
matchmakers there are seeking TO
secure the Albuquerque favorlte
for a match on future card. Cald-
well would most likely be matched
with some soldier as the bouts are
held on a military reservation ana
thus escape the fatal boxing laws
OF Texas, but at the same time UNI
der the new arrangements 1t is un-
derstood that the soldier fighters
are to make up so per cent of the
cards.
This is only fair for both parties
and when adhered to in the past
always gave satisfaction to the SOL
der and civilian fans. Good fight
ers are never lacking on the SOL
der side of the bill and the army
has developed many clever men,
Corporal Merritt Wheeler of the
Ninth engineers of Ell Paso, who is
row on recruiting duty in Albu-
uuerque, had great deal to say
about boxing and athletics in the
army. Boxers and ball players
lust live on the fat of the land,
he said when explaining how ath-
lctics were being handled around
Fort Bliss. Now, just for in
stance, take a boxer. any one of
them. they have time off to train,
are always in condition and get
more money than they know what
to do with, for fighting.
1.-THE same is true of ball play
ers: they are uniformed. have the
afternoons off for practice. and
get paid for playing, that Is, mem
bers 'of the Army-City league. of
which the Ninth engineers is a
member. After these boys finish
IN their enlistment they are in fine
shape to step right out as a profess
sionaI boxer or ball player and
make good. / really don't see why
some of the young hopefuls of this
town are not taking on for a year.

SOLDIER IN GIRL CASE IS ID GO
 BEFORE GRAND JURY

Henry O'Brien. British soldier. who brought Vera Mort, an artists model. to this country from London will be cross-examined by the federay grand jury when it is in cession here next week. J. H Langston. assistant United States attorney. stated yesterday that O'Brien. who is being held at the coun- ty jail. will not be arraigned before the United States commissioner. but that all the facts of his case will be brought directly to the attention Of the grand jury.
 O'Brien was first arrested on the charge of white slavery. but later the charge of violation of the immigration act in bringing a girl to this country for immoral purposes was substituted It was understood that O'Brien would be deported when he and the girl were taken into custody, but later 1t was de cided to bring the matter before the federal jury. O'Brien is behind the bars Of the county jail. and the girl is occupying the women's cell after her removal from the Crittendom Home.
 The Mort girl is only 20 years old and exceptionally beautiful. She is said to have been the heroine of many romances on the other side before com ing to America. She is the cause for Dr. Campbell being the defendant in ss criminal action. the 60-year- r-old physi- elan having shot and wounded O'BrieTt in an encounter which arose over the girl

CLARKDALE AFTER
 CAVALRY TROOP AS
 PHOENIX DELAYS

Disquieting rumors are abroad about that Clarkdale cavalry organization that is known to be getting itself in readiness for muster into the state militia, according to capitol reports yesterday. an impression being preva- lent that the Clarkdale bunch is pussy footing with the idea of making a sud- den call for inspection with resultant seniority in the troops of the state. The Phoenix organization. according to the adjutant generals office. can't be ready before the end of this week.
 It is known that the suspected pus- syfooters have secured every imagin able blank that is required for the or ganiZation work, and that they have reuested that Dr. Thom of CIarkdale be commissioned as a state medical in spector. Dr. Thom'S recommendations are under investigation now and are said to appear alright, in which case there is a probability that the governor will sign his commission today and thereby empower him to perform the last trick in the organization work. A Clarkdale agent, it is pointed out. could obtain the information here and wire it to Clarkdale and the alleged pussy Hooters could wire back their de- mand for inspection as the doctor in all proba ability would have nothing to do but sign inspection papers already made out.
 The Phoenix organization, expected to head the state organizations, now has only 50 men finally examined, leav- ing 13 more "preliminaries'' to work over before it can demand the govern ment inpsection and acceptance. The work of getting the city men and the doctor together is said to be extremely difficult and there is a firm belief that the last of the thirteen will not con meet with the local medical inspector before the end of the week

MILLION DOLLAR BURDEN IN ALL
 WHO PAY TAXES
Total Tax Delinquency In State Places That Extra Load On Those Who Do Pay Tax, Commission Reports

Arizona's taxpayers who really paN are carrying a one million dollar burden imposed upon them by the tax payers who don't pay. according to figures just submitted by the state tax commission to show tLat the delin- ouent tax bill that has been accumu- lating during the last five years now amounts to S954.55T.16- MariCopa county is the worst offender with a burden amounting to $291.o96.4S.
 The figures represent the total de lnauency of state, county. city. and town taxes. including the delinquent~ to the first installment Of the 1919 taxes that was due on The first Mondav of last November. and the figures az computed from the date of Jan. ,. ls-d. The state has an assessed valuation of SS55. .000, ,000, according to the com Emission, and in 1919 il collected from all sources the sum Of s13,66S,592.S7 aS the amount budgeted to handle the state expenses.
 Five Year Total
 Out of whatever amount was delin- quent in 1915. the sum of S56, 123.62 re mains unpaid or did on January :. 1920 The hangover from 1916 amounted last month to $74,5Sl.1S. The 1917 hangover stood at S127.923.3S. Of the 1918 tax bill there remains unpaiu $31475e64 The first instalIment for 1919 still unpaid, amounts to S3S1.- 171.74 making a delinquency burden of almost S1,00O, 900 for the fiveyear period.
 The tabulated figures show a gen eral tendency toward better collections in the mining counties, as against the agricultural counties. Santa Cruz county has a total delinquency for the five year period amounting to S113.- 439.45. which is explained largely by the fact that the ownership or tract there known as the "Baca Float" had been in dispute and as the ownership recently was decided in the courts it is expected that the tax delinquency thereon will be settled soon. No ex- planation is offered for Marieopa county's outstanding position as the

 The total delinquency list. for the five-year period. by counties. follows. Coconino, $S9.6S5-52; Gila, S51, ,35S.66- 452.50; Maricopa, $297,096.4S: Mohave, S23. 7S4.61; Navajo, s36.6Ss.29: Pima. $TS,359.19; Pinal, s2S.933; Santa Cruz. s113.459.45; Yavapai, s61,5S1.97; Yuma. sS1.s49.74
 Various officials at the state house yesterday expressed surprise that the delinquency total should he so large and concensus of opinion was that one half of the amount could be col lected in six months time if the many state. county, city and town officials concerned would get out and work

MYSTERY HUDSON SPEEDSTER SETS /. RACE PROMOTERS ON WILD CHASE

Somewhere in Phoenix is a racing Hudson, guaranteed, according to it's owner, to do 70 miles an hour on the curves Of the state fair grounds track and 90 miles on the straightaway. At least this is the information passed along automobile row yesterday after. noon and set the promoters of the Fri State Auto classic on an almost fran .ic search for its owner
 According to the story woman yesterday entered the offices of G. Purdy Bullard, local attorney and rep resentative of the American Automo- bile association. She inquired whether she would be permitted to drive a Hudson racer in the Tri- State Auto .iaSsic. MT. Bullard informed her that women were barred under A. A A. rules. But, later in the day she made an appearance at the fair grounds and informed several drivers who

were working out that she had an automobile that would dust 'em all.
 Now, the local promoters are making every effort to get line on the car. Floyd Strong, a registered A. A. A driver. has volunteered to pilot it in event it can be found. Tn fact Strong has been looking for mount for sev- eral days.
 That the track will be faster than ever before was the positive declara- tion made last evening by Mrs. F.. Mais. who claims the feminine racing championship of America. Mrs Mais has many medals to show that she has piloted some fast machines over some of the greatest speed courses in the country. She has been a close observer Of workouts at the fair grounds track for several days and bases her opinion on the times she has clicked off in company with some of the entrants in the Tri-State classic.
