High School Assured

House Bill No. IS, being an act to
provide separate high school build.
ings for Colored children where 20
pupils of African descent are eligible
for admission to said school, came up
in the Arizona State Legislature
Wednesday morning for the third and
final reading. The gallery was filed
with interested Colored people who
the past few days have been watching
the progress of this bill Rev. T. ].
Sanford, pastor of the A. NJ. E. church,
was, by unanimous consent of the
members of the House, given an op-
portunity to speak ten minutes in sup
port of the bill before final action
was taken. DR.. Sanford delivered a
wonderful address, and when the final
vote was taken on the bill, it passed
without dissenting vote. The local
branch of the N. A. A. c. P, through
its leaders, was the father of the
movement to have such a bill pre-
sented to the legislature, and they
have worked faithfully, day and night,
to secure the passage of this meas
ure. Our Colored attorney, William E.
Watkins, was employed by the asso-
citation to draft the bill and look after
other technicalities that might arise

RULE OF RIGHT WILL END WAR PRESIDENT TELLS SOLDIERS
Millions to Blot Booze in US but Enforcement Chief |OverdraaOs; Good Objects
Associated Press Night Wire,

WASHINGTON, D. C., May B. After heated discussion of the prohi- bition question during which Con- missioner Kramer was bitterly crit. cized and as vigorously defended, the house today voted an additional $200,000 for enforcement of the Vol stead act until July l. Representa- tive Volstead proposed the increase in the total of the deficiency appro- priation bill to permit retention on federal payrolls of 700 prohibition agents whom Mir. Kramer had an- nounced would be dropped for the remainder of the fiscal year because of shortage of funds.
 The amendment was adopted, v to 38, less than one-fourth of the house membership being present, but an- other vote can be demaded before the bill is passed. Even the mem bers who favored the amendment dOuDted whether It would afford re- lief in time to be of much value, in- asmuch as the bill after passage by the house must go to the senate.
 During the wrangling, Chairman Good of the appropriations commit tee, who opposed the Volstead said Mir. Kramer had violated penal provisions of law by mourning a deficit and had made liable to jail sentence"
 q want Mr. Kramer to obey the law just as much as bootleggers," he declared, adding that $6,900,000 had been appropriated for enforcement during the current fiscal year.

Associated Press Night wire)


 WASHINGTON, D. C., May B. Mrs. Emma C. Bergdo1l mother of Grover Bergdoll, the stacker, again went to the bat today with the house investigating committee After a two-hour ross-examination Mrs. Bergdoll came up smiling for the committee refused to send her be- fore the bar of the house for not answering questions bearing on her buried gold. There were times when the witness, rising from her chair and slamming the floor with a para sol, denounced the inquiry as an- other persecution.
 It was while Representative John son, republican, of Kentucky, had the witness in hand that the clash oc- cured which caused him to offer a motion charging her with contempt. The committee, however, thought best to decide this question in execu- tive session and ten minutes later the doors were opened and Mrs. Bergdoll was told she might return home
 While making no attempt, as he explained, to find where the woman had buried $105,0O0 obtained from the treasury in 1919, Mir Johnson drew from her the statement that it was on the Bergdoll farm near Phila- delphia. It was while he was trying to learn who assisted in hiding it that Mrs. Bergdoll flew into a rage and declared it was a shame for members of congress to be so nasty" MT. Johnson replied that he was trying to lay foundation to see if she was telling the truth, at which Mrs. Bergdoll launched into a ti- rade This was checked by Chair man Peters.
 q refuse to give you any other about the goldP' she shouted, banging the table with her parasol. q am sick and tired of itl You ought not to be SO nosey. It's a waste of time and I don't pro pose to console you by answering it."
 Asked how Grover had been named for President Cleveland, Mrs. Berg doll shouted "He has got as good a chance as anybody here of becoming president!'

ANOTHER ARVIZO IS
 SHOT IN THE LEG

Shot in the leg with shotgun by Marciano Duran, Manuel Arvizo was brought to Prescott from Cedar Glade Sunday. and taken to the Mercy hospital Arviso was called to the door of his home early Sum day morning by Duran, who open ed fire on the other as soon as the door was opened, it was said by county officers. Arviso was wound ed in the right leg. Duran has dis appeared and, according to latest re- ports, has not been seen since the shooting. His wife maintains that her husband was drunk when the shooting occurred.
 A curious coincidence in connec- ton with the affair is that last Fri day, Henry Arvizo, son of the wounded man, was himself wounded in the right leg by a shotgun, while out hunting. Breaking the smallpox quarantine now in force at Cedar Glade, young Arvizo dropped the gun on a rock, breaking the hammer. and firing a shell. Some hours later he was found at the bottom of 5O- foot embankment, wounded in the right leg, and bruised from his fall.
