 A statement of a member of the house committee said that everything had been cut to the bone, but it Is cer- tain that efforts will be made further to reduce the total.
 On the opening of the house session house joint resolution was offered by Speaker .Seefe, a tribute to the memory of Champ Clark.

 Madame Devouge's stay in Phoenix was very limited. Arriving shortly before noon yesterday. she was obliged to leave early last evening for Los Angeles. She will visit all Pacific coast states and then return to the eastern seaboard over the northern route. She expects to reach France early in April.
 Her visit to this country is part of the government reconstruction pro gram, but is being financed by private individuals. Her tour of America Is being financed by Anne Morgan, a sister of J. P Morgan. multi million aire American banker, it was an- nounced.

Madame Lucie Davouge, dean of the Grignon Normal school at Grignon, France, was a Salt River Valley vis- itor yesterday. Her stop here was. in directly, a part of the reconstruction program for devastated France, as out lined by the French government.
 Your modes of living and your methods of doing things are so new and strange to me-" she exclaimed when she had returned to Phoenix after a trip about the valley. The tour took her into high and normal schools, into private houses and onto great ranches Its wonderful, just wonder full" she enthusiastically declared, using gestures so becoming Europeans of her race.
 Madame Devouge is especially inter- ested in the study of home economies and vocational training. In fact. the purpose of her visit was to acquire new ideas for the extension work among her own people. Her tour will take her into practically every state of this na- ton.

 Aubrey Mules Appear
 Not the least interesting episode of the day was the clattering of the hoofs of the Aubrey mules across the floor of the chamber and the outlines of those animals which have played SC great part in the politics of the state for the last four or five years. Steps were taken to lay the ghosts of the mules yesterday by the presentation of a message from the governor in which a statement was made of the status of the mule case.
 The mules were rented some years ago in the Hunt administration from the Aubrey Investment company, oi Which Hon. A. A. Johns, former speaker of the house and former president of the senate, is the head, il not the whole thing. Later a contrac

 Debate Cave Creek Flood Bill
 The bill had come from the standing committee with an unfavorable recom- mendation. Mir. Schupp spoke in favor of it and presented a list of the prop erty that would be affected, showing the great interest of the state in the control of those floods. A strong plea for the bill was made by Judge Phillips.
 Speaker Keefe addressed the com mittee against it and referred to the fact that such a bill had once been defeated. charging that the introduce ton of this one indicated belief that the house members were of unstable minds.
 Mr Haynes of Pima believed that it was Maricopa county bill; the prop erty affected, whatever might be the ownership of it, was an asset to this county, which, therefore should find it to it's advantages to take care of it A motion to recommend the passage of the bill failed by d narrow margin on viva voce vote and a motion to recommend it's indefinite postpone ment was declared carried. But later the senate session for the purpose of amendment, the bill was again re- ferred to the whole committed Other measures disposed of in the | committee of the whole were the fol- lowing:
 Senate bill 53, providing for takine out casualty insurance in the amount of | s1 ,000 on the lives of sheriffs. theil deputies and other peace officers. Ii was argued lamely that this matter

was made between the state and the investment company for the purchase of the mules. But the contract was disavowed by the next administration on the ground largely that the mules were not worth the price asked for them and they were turned back.
 On this statement a bill was intro duced by Speaker Keefe appropriating that sum for the relief of the Aubrey Investment company.

Fewer Criminals
Operating Along
Western Railroads

There is even less OF criminalfy
along the lines of the great railroads
of the west than during tho period OF
the great war when every man who
was able to work was being sought
out by employers.
This is the report of the detective
forces of such roads as the Rio Grande.
continentally connected roads.
Chief Special Agent William F. NC
cafferty, of. the Rio Grande and its
branches and extensions, stated on in
quiry yesterday that his force is hav-
ing less trouble In protecting the COM
pany's property and that of shippers,
than heretofore. This in spite Of the
fact that more people are out of en-
ployment than for some years. Thefts
and damage to cars and property in
care OF the company is very light of
late. Like Chief Special Agent
o'Leary of the Santa Fe, Mr.. McCaf-
ferty takes the position that it is not
thru poverty that most of the depre-
dations to railway property and freight
are committed. but that there is
criminal class who would prefer to
steal than work, and II is that class
that is being watched all the time by
the special agents and watchmen OF
the departments. 1t is the preferably
idle, both these heads of secret service
departments assert, that causes most
of the trouble to the railroads, not
those who would prefer to be honor
ably employed.
McCafferty covers the entire Rio
Grande system with eight road men.
but they are all experienced and
trained. and have the faces OF most

NEW ROAD SIGNS
TO Be INSTALLED

Road signs have been completed for
erection on main highways into Pu
eblo. The publicity committee of the
Pueblo Commerce club yesterday an
nounced that a dozen signs, feet 8
inches in height have been received
made by the Newton Lumber company.
The signs will be painted forest green
with ivory white lettering, and when
set in the ground will be exactly feet
inches in height. The sign itself is
AZ by % inches square and has a sort
of framed effect.
When asked regarding the height
of these signs, A. G .Hamel, forest
supervisor, stated that this height had
been decided on after exhaustive tests
by the department. The signs and
standards are made according to plans
furnished by the local office of the ma
tional forest service
Not only are these subject to less
destruction from high winds when
closer to the ground. but they are more
readable. At night, for instance, one
coming into Pueblo can turn the lights
of his car on the signs and easily read
the directions. The lettering will be
large and quite plain.
The signs will be painted forest
green. with ivory white lettering.
