PLAN ENLARGEMENT
 OF FIRE DETECTION
 SYSTEM ON FOREST
From Thursdays Daily)

Plans for the extension of the fire detection system on the Prescott forest were announced. here yester- day by Supervisor H. B. Wales, i'll connection with the campaign of the forest service to prevent fires de- structive to timber and ranges.
 Recommendations to the authori- ties at Albuquerque, the central of flee for the southwestern district, will be made by J. C. Kircher, fire prevention specialist from that office. who has been going over the Pres colt forest with Supervisor Wales, for the construction of four lookout towers in the Crown King district of this forest. The towers will be To- cated on the tops of Mingus noun tain Spruce mountain, Table noun tain and Mount Union.
 The plans for this addition to the Prescott forest fire detection system call for the. construction of roads to permit the lookout towers to be reached by machine The towers will be approximately 40 feet high, and will be constructed of strong timber.
 Though no funds are at present on hand for this work, it will be recom- mcnded to the Albuquerque office by Kircher that funds be made available.
 The towers will be a part of the regulation fire detection system eX- hibited here last year at the forestry booth of the N A. State fair. Look outs from the top of the towers arc able to spot fires at a considerable distance away, and by means of range finders locate them and phone the information in to the ranger sta ton nearest the fire.

YAVAPATS ROADS IN
 FINE SHAPE--TOTTEN
Chamber of Commerce Member Re- ports Condition of Roads at
 Commercial Body Meet

Yavapai's roads are in first-class condition, according to Christ Tot ten, who returned here Thursday from Phoenix. The roads between here and the state capital, Totten re- ported at the chamber of commerce meeting Thursday night, are excel lent on this side of the county line, compared to their condition from that line to the outskirts of Phoenix. The. Black Canyon road is in very bad shape below the county line, and the other road below Wickenburg is not all it might be.
 At the meeting it was moved by Totten that vote of thanks be ex- tended the board of supervisors by the chamber of commerce for the excellent condition in which Yava- pai's roads are, generally speaking, to be found. This motion was car ried with an amendment conveying a vote of thanks to the Phoenix chamber of commerce and the auto mobile dealers of that city, as we'll as to the Phoenix Republican, for the splendid publicity given Prescott and Yavapai county in the "See Ari- zona First" campaign being conduct ed in the southern city.

INQUEST UP0N
 CHAS. M NULTy
 BE HELD TODAY

With the body Of Charles ]. Me Nulty, well known mining man who died in the Hassayampa river some time approximately IA days ago at the mortuary of Lester Ruffner, the coroner last night awaited the find ings of the physicians in an autopsy before proceeding with the inquest. The coroner's jury will sit th.s morning on the case,
 That McNulty probably fell from a ledge, two and a half feet high, into the river, and may have met death through this fall. is the belief Of Deputy Sheriff Murray. one of the party who first found the body. According to Murray, who, returned to town yesterday, the prospector's pick McNulty carried, was lying on this ledge and not in the unfortunate mans hands, as was first reported. The hat, weighted with a stone, lay about 10 feet from the body.
 The spot, is about three-quarters of mile above the point where the old Cotoctin road crosses the Has sayampa.
 Arrangements for the funeral will probably be announced today, the Prescott lodge of Elks, of which the deceased was a member, having taken part in it.

] EG|ON MAY
 SECURE HUME

"A plan whereby the old governors mansion on West Gurley street may be renovated and put into first class condition, and the American Legion at the same time be afforded perm anent and adequate quarters was taken up at last nights meeting of the chamber of commerce, follow ing recent proposal by Supervisor W. w. Midgley that the legion be allowed to use the building provided it sees to it that the grounds and building are put into shape
 The county is willing to place teams and tools at the disposal of the legion for repairing the grounds, and it is believed that money can be found for accomplishing such re- pairs as the building needs. Under this plan, the building, it is felt, will be kept in the condition due it as valuable historic property, and at the same time serve a purpose in keeping with its nature.
 Commander w. Nj. Roberts an- nounced that the legion will go into the plan with the greatest enthusi- asm, communicating with ex-soldiers who are sons of Arizona pioneers, for the purpose of forming a com mittee in charge, and will set about the work of putting the property in- to shape. A working committee will be appointed to cooperate with an auxiliary subcommittee of the cham Der of commerce.
 The city has approved of the plans for the rehabilitation of the mansion. All that is now needed is to set about put the thing through. Rob- erts will report progress of the le- gion's activities at next Thursdays meeting of the chamber

WORK ON NORTHERN
 ROADS STARTS SOON

In a day or two road crews will be placed on the Ash Fork road be- tween Ash Fork and Prescott, and on the road between Ash Fork and Seligman, according to County En- gineer H. L. Fishel, who has return ed from a "trip of inspection over these roads with Supervisors w. w. Midgley and C. C. Stukey.
 While the roads are for the most part in fair condition. there are stretches badly ill need Of repair, and work on these will commence at once. The roads will be graded, ditched and surfaced.
 Right now, Engineer Fishel says, the county could use more road crews. but has been compelled to cut temporarily in order to reduce expenses. It is his opinion that this condition will not obtain long.
 Road crews at present are working in the Verde valley, from Jerome to Clarkdale and from Camp Verde to Stoneman's lake. Another crew is engaged on the Williamson valley road, which passes to the north of the Williamson Valley Farms com pany's damsite, and a fourth is at work on the Black Canyon road be- low Mayer.

ICE SOLD BY POUND,
 SEE! SAYS B. DYAS
Gournal-Miner Capital Bureaw

CJOurnal-Miner Capital Bureau)
 PHOENIX, April 19.-With the approach of hot weather and the busy season for the iceman, the state department of weights and measures is calling attention of ice dealers to section 25 of the weights and measures act which, though short. is very explicit. It reads:
 Every person, firm or corpora ton engaged in the business of sell ing and distributing ice at retail. shall sell same by weight"
 This means, according to State In- spector Dyas, just what it states. and the practice of selling ice by guess will not be countenanced by the de- partment or city sealers of weights and measures. A note of warning is sounded to all sellers of ice to equip their wagons with scales and weigh the ice sold, so that tn purchaser may get the exact weight he pays for
 Where the householder has no scales with which to re-weigh the ice purchased, Inspector Dyas sets forth the following rule for ascertaining the weight in pounds of piece of ice Of any given size:
 Multiply the length by the width by the height Gin inches); then null tiply the product of that by 0.532 and divide the result by 16. This will give the weight of tine piece of ice in pounds. s

TANNER kAYOS KLEMNE IN {;
 COOK VICTOR

For seven gory rounds, Wild Bill Tanner hammered on the puffed vis- age and stocky body of Kid Klemme and then. pop! A right smash land ed on the Illinois ear, the Kid slump ed to the carpet and while Referee Joe Morgan waved his finger ten solemn times, all of the floored fighter that moved was a listless hand.
 Klcmme was carried to his corner and revived after a little time and AIr. Tanner had earned the right to meet Sergeant Lynch in the Moose boxing arena, about the first of May" as the Moose management in dicated.
 Except at times, Tanners blows lacked the put-away steam, but the half dozen times he really jarred Klemme showed he had some mass , behind those long arms. Klemme, on the other hand, did not land on Tanner except in clinches, where he hurled himself frequently. But even at close range, Klemme lacked zip, and did not damage his opponent
 Early in round one, Tanner drew the liquid from Klemme's nose and the rest of the fight until the seventh consisted chiefly of the smearing operation by which the blood was plentifully spread over the counten- ance and chest Of the shorter man. The fight oil points was Tanner s from the start. He showed ability to use his feet and a nice sense oi time and distance, and when occas- ion demanded, could put q good deal Of snap back of his blows. How Tanner will fare with Lynch when those two meet, will be the cause for large speculation during the time necessary to prepare for that contest There is no doubt, however that Lynch and Tanner will bring before the fans a faster and more scien- tific exhibition than that of last night. and there is cause for the an ticipation of the sport followers.
 There was this about Klemme however. When he had had his nose hurt and had been smartly rapped here and there on his massive per son, he never attempted to evade an issue. While he bored in obviously for shelter, he never feared to meet

Two Soldier Organization Now Brought Into Scheme to Util- ize Old Governors Mansion and Open It to Public
fFrom saturday's Dailyl

In accordance with the announce mcnt at the chamber of commerce meeting Thursday night, April 2lst, w. NJ. Roberts, commander of the American Legion of this city, has appointed a committee to cooperate with the chamber of commerce, the county supervisors and the city of Prescott ill any move that will be made to bring about the restoration and opening to the public of the ter ritorial governors mansion and the keeping of relics and history of the early days of Arizona.
 Asked as to the suggestion that the Veterans of Foreign Wars or ganization be also included in the plan to keep open house at the ter ritoria1 mansion, Roberts expressed himself as heartily in accord.
 The Committee
 Alfred Gale, chairman, Dr. Harry IT. Southworth, George Nilsson, Elm melt Morrison, Ernest Kittredge, Harry Shumate, Alfred B. Carr, A. C. Johnson, Harry Smith, Clarence Kessler, Roy Chambers, H. w. Ex- ter, Kenneth Aiken and Edward NJ. Harris.
 Acting on the suggestion that the Veterans of Foreign Wars be given an opportunity to assist in the trust of keeping alive the connection be- tween the pioneer days and the present, and have headquarters in the territorial mansion, Roberts confer red with NJ. L. Clancy, commander of the "Buckey" O'Neill post of the Veterans of Foreign Wars. Clancy at once responded with enthusiasm typ ical of the off-handed judgment of earlier days and as an earnest of his cooperation appointed a com mittec- to cooperate with that of the legion, the chamber of commerce, and other interested organizations and persons. The personnel of this committee includes James Lowry IT,, Albert Akin, L. C. Neal, William Allen, John H. Shull, George Tracy, and A. Curric.
 Mayor Goldwater will be invited by the committees to give the benefit  of his long association with affairs of this community and the state, and the various pioneer societies, and as many of the pioneers themselves as can be reached will be asked to give their advice and support to the move to provide for the keeping in safety, the marks which were blazed on the early Arizona trail
 It IS expected that a joint meet ing of the committees appointed to represent the two organizations of the men who served in the world | war will be called early next week. At that time a subcommittee rep resenting both organizations will | probably be selected to cooperate with an auxiliary subcommittee of the chamber of commerce. The com- mander of the Ernest A. Love post of the American Legion stated that he expected the committee to report such progress as had been made to the chamber of commerce at its meeting April 2S

TWO SUPERIOR COURTS GRIND
 OUT JUSTICE
Irrigation Matter Is Heard Be- fore Judge Bollinger in High CT" Court and Judge Sweeney Inquiries Into Mine Case

Some progress was made in two causes-at-law without jury in two court rooms in the county building yesterday To the visitor seeking inc sensations of the usual trial, however, neither Judge Bollinger's court on the third floor, nor that presided over by Judge Sweeney in the regular court room, provided any inducements.
 The trial of the forccIosure suit of the Phoenix Title and Trust com pany, acting as agents for w. T. Sawyer and Daniel E. Parks against the Alamos Land and Irrigation company, before Judge Bollinger of Mohavc county, was a triflc the more interesting of the two on ac- count of the warm passages between Judge Parks, counsel and witness for the plaintiff, and opposing counsel. At one stage of the cross-examina- ton, Judge Parks interposed objcc- ton to question from his seat i'll the witness chair, and, it having in volved a general discussion and dis closed the fact the question had been answered in an exhibit, the judges objection was upheld by the judge on the bench.
 Walter Bennett of Phoenix, coun- scl for the defendant company, had had correspondence read into the record, and Judge Parks attacked the use of the correspondence as "a mans private affairs"
 The plaintiff is represented by J. E. Russell, and w. T. Sawyer. who with Judge Parks was original owner of. the land in the Date creek coun- try, now ill litigation. was one of the witnesses. He said the corpora ton had paid half the stipulated sum of $80000 and issued bonds on which interest had not been paid. He had demanded payment of this interest, and also payment of taxes on the land and insurance on the structures.
 Jerome e-Superior
 In the lower court room, so called, not to infer that the bench there was inferior in anything save actual physical elevation, Judge Sweeney heard a reading of dispositions that required virtually all day. The case involves a controversy among of ficers and stockholders in the Je- rome Superior Copper company over control of the corporate affairs.

one or more wallops that Tanner had in stock
 Before the match, Sergeant Lynch was introduced as challenging the victor and it was also announced that Young Skinner of Jerome, who could not be present. likewise craved the opportunity Of exchanging swats with the best man.
 A short, fierce and sensational semi-windup provided interest for the fans. Hume, outclassed in round one of the little controversy with Vaile. who displayed lightning left and an indomitable desire to use it, swept through two more rather blundery rounds and near the close of the third inning. crashed his op- ponent for the count. The fallen gladiator caromed off a corner post and dropped in sitting position with his legs dangling outside the ring. and there in spite of the very audible count of Mitch Mahoney and the frantic roofing of his seconds, he rested. his head dizzy with the inn pact, This was while it lasted. sen sational little combat and the GUS toners appreciated it.
 Cook Wins Graphing
 Walter Cook, who has appeared in the ring here number of times, showed his knowledge of the game of grips and levers when he secured two falls from Ben Ferree. In this match. Cook was substituting for Loyd Ireland, who was hurt in, the fire that partially ruined the interior of the Moose hall.
 Ferree. outweighed, he said by 20 pounds. proved tough little grap- pier. and knowing in the ways Of the mat He made Cook work for his victory and while the victor showed a wide sagacity in holds and leverages, he had to make both his falls good.
 After the match, it was announced that Cook had accepted the challenge of Cheyenne Riser, worlds cham pion broncho and bareback rider, for match. Bud Gardner, announcer for the events, issued challenge to any wrestler in the southwest up to 16O pounds, though he weighs but about 150.
 Kid Karol and Kid Richards ram bled through four rounds that were declared even by Referee Mahorey, And it was even. While one fighter had a little blood on his face and the other had none, nobody saw how it came about. It might have been the result of a broken scab.
 The management of the fight card by the members of the Moose was of a high type. A very good crowd enjoyed the offerings, and there is hope that more of the same sort of shows can be put on.
