SAY WILSON KEPT
 BACK BY HEALTH
(By United Press)

Kansas City, June 21.-Following conference here with Burris Jenkins, editor of the Post and who was to make the nominating speech for Me Adoo, Assistant Secretary House of the Democratic national committee announced that he had urged Mr. Jenkins not to bring McAdoo's name before the convention against his wishes. MT. Jenkins, however, has not decided definitely as to whether the speech will be made or left un- made.
 MT. House also denied any connec- tion between President Wilson's in- terview in the New York World and the statement by McAdoo that he would not accept the nomination. He declared that it would be impos- sible for the president to make the race for a third term, as his health will not permit it.

 When the resolution was introduced at the special meeting, Governor Campbell expressed his doubt about the bringing of court action, declaring mat until such time as the land board mas made some ruling upon the ques- Llon before it, there could be no cause TOT action. Legality of an action Is impossible until the action is taken, the governor contended.
 Points brought up by the governor at the board meeting are substan- 1ated by Attorney Morrison in his lengthly communication to the chief executive of state Misstatement of facts. he claims, misled members of the board into adopting the resolution, Bhe governors vote being the only one of five cast against adoption of the Simms'. resolution.

of the Be It Resolved paragraph; and that the attorney general be au- thorized to facilitate the testing Of said question in the aforesaid case and the matters therein involved.
 "The statements in the whereas are absolute miscellaneous of fact. The members of the board who voted in favor of the adoption of this resolu tion. l am taking it for granted, must have been misinformed, for the reason that l know. and the attorneys for the Hudspeth Sheep company know. that there is no case or suit or proceeding of any character pending, nor has any been initiated in any court in Arizona in which pr. Perrin is plaintiff and Hudspeth Sheep company is defend ant. or vice versa, involving the queS- ton of the validity of the renewal leases and I can state that there is no suit of any kind pending in any court on this subject at this time. nor has there been any in which Dr. Per rin is a party and the Hudspeth Sheep company the other party to any such suit.
 Therefore, the resolution is based upon false premises, and l am sur prised that a resolution of this char acter could have been adopted by the state land boaW.
 This being true, there is nothing pending in the courts which involves anything in any manner relating to the determination of the question or the validity or cancellation of the character of leases mentioned in the resolution.
 "The only proceeding of any char acter which is pending. to which these persons are parties, and involving the question of the validity of this char acter of leases. is now pending before your state land board, upon the peti- tion of Dr. E. E. Perrin against the | Hudspeth Sheep company, and the answer of the Hudspeth Sheep com pany to said petition.
 Before this proceeding can possibly get into the courts, there must be a l hearing upon the same before your l honorable board.
 T feel quite confident that when this matter is presented at a meeting of your honorable board, that this error will be corrected. for error it is. with out a doubt.
 T, therefore, request, that a hearing | relating to this resolution, and a re- vision of it, may be held on the 21st I of September, 1920, al the hour of ten i o'clock a. m. of said day. when it will 1 be my pleasure to be personally pres | ent and present this matter to the members of your board, confident that this board because or a miSunder- | standing as to the facts, will surely l in a spirit of justice to all parties con- i cerned, change the character of the resolution. and make an order that there be a hearing at an early date of | the proceeding entitled Perrin Vs Hudspeth Sheep company, now pend
 ing before the state land board

PROHIBITION AGENT CLEANS FLOOR WITH
 ALLEGED BAD MAN

Days of the old west were given twentieth century enactment at NO gales Friday night when Roy Fridley. internal revenue agent for enforcing prohibition, met Jess Gattlln, alleged gunman and border raider, in combat that would have made the screens most notable achievement appear like child's play.
 Fridley in company with Ralph ColVin of Tucson, a representative Of the department of justice, had gone to Nogales on official business. Gattlin, hearing of their presence at the border city, decide the time was ripe to settle an old score with Fridley, who only a. few weeks had previously arrested a close friend of the alleged bad man.
 The two government officials were seated in the Evans hotel when Gattlin entered Friday evening, blood in his eye. He approached the two and di- rected abusive language at Fridley. The federal official ignored the in truder for a time, but when Gattlin started shouting his abuse so that 1t was audible to other guests in the lob by, he arose.
 Gattlin immediately reached for his gun, according to the story related here. but before he had an opportunity ot play it upon the intended victim, he was sent sprawling across the lobby by terrific jolt delivered by Fridley who was unarmed at the time. Still reaching for his gun, Gattlin arose and again was sent to the floor This time, the impact knocked the gun from his grip. Fridley called to his brother officer to grab the weapon Then it was that several of Gattlin s gang started to his aid.
 Colvin turned the gun upon Gattlin's friends and ordered them to keep back Jean Stewart, a spectator, also held the alleged gunmen's friends at bay with a .45. With this picturesque set ting. the battle between Fridley and Gattlin continued, with the federal of l ficer a top heavy favorite from the outset. He finally forced the alleged bad man to beg for help, then arrested l him and took him to the NogaIes jail Gattlin was later fined $100 in police court at Nogales for carrying con- cealed weapons and using abusive lan- l guage.
