FLOOD OF TOBACCO
CHEWS FOR VOLSTEAD
Every Member of Congress
Gets Plug for Dry Leader.

Special Despatch TO THE New YORK HERALD.
New York Herald Bureau,
Washington, ID. c., June "a.
Some New York joker has flooded
Congress with one inch squares of to-
bacco for Representative Volstead
(Minn). chief dry legislator. But the
little plugs are labelled unfit for
chewing purposes" as n possible sug-
gestion that tobacco should not be
chewed since Volstead is trying by leg
islation to make several concoctions of
alcohol, wine and drugs. which have en-
joyed a wide sale since prohibition be-
came effective. unfit for beverage
purposes"
Every representative in Congress re-
ceived a plug attached to a tag which
bore this inscription:
Unfit for chewing purposes. Contains
one grain of tartar emetic Please hand
to Representative Volstead."
The tobacco probably is the result of
Mr.. Volsteads constant chewing off
"the old plug while arguing for more
drastic prohibition laws before the
House Rules Committee. Although a
bitter foe OF liquor, Mr.. Volstead dis
poses of plug of tobacco every day,
so while he remains chairman OF the
Judiciary Committee. radical reformers
probably have little chance of passing
a twentieth amendment 10 the Consti-
tuition prohibiting the use of tobacco.

Women voters of the country are pre-
pairing a fight fer another constitutional
amendment. il was learned here to-day.
The militant branch OF the organizations
which put over the equal suffrage
amendment are now proposing that the
twentieth change in the Constitution be
one which will insure that equal rights
to women shall not be denied because OF
sex or marriage
Constitutional experts are now max
ing an exhaustive study of precedents
in order to determine whether a consti-
tutional amendment is required The
National Woman's party. members of
which did most of the picketing of the
White House and served Jail sentences
prior TO ratification of the equal suffrage
amendment are back of the move for
the new change. and intimate that once
they are satisfied a new clause TO the
Constitution is needed, they will pursue
their old militant tactics until they
get il.
They have enlisted the interest Of
Senator Curtis (Kan.). Republican. and
-
and these officials may sponsor the in
PRODUCTION of the new measure, if it is
found to be needed.
Senator Curtis told THE NEW YORK
HERALD to-day he Is not satisfied a con-
stitutional amendment is required, but
he does believe that some sort of legisla-
ton is necessary in order that women
shall have rights equal to men, notwith-
standing sex and marriage. Many con-
fiicts, he said, exist in the various State
laws as to property rights, some States
depriving women of their property and
comforting them upon their husband by
the act of marriage, while others enforce
modification of property rights not only
in marriage but also because of sex.
II it is found that a constitutional
amendment is not required Senator Cur.
tis said he intends to introduce a bin
the effect of which will be to provide
uniform State laws so far as this can
be done, affecting the rights of women.

Yukon Gold Co. has shipped the first 230 tons of silver-lead ore from its Mayo, Yukon Territory, properties to Dawson, for reshipment to the Ia coma shelter. This lot is valued at $50,O00, or $21S per ton. It is re- ported that nearly 2,500 tons addi- tional are awaiting shipment from Mayo Landing. The total value of the winters output is placed at $750,000 including 500,000 ozs. silver.
 By closely sorting the ore mined at the newly discovered Keno Hill, Mayo, deposits, Yukon Gold is able to ship out ore running 200 ozs. silver to the ton, in addition to 60 per cent lead. Eventually through deep level devel- opment it is possible that milling fa- cilities will be provided to treat the larger tonnage of lower grade ore not now commercially exploitable.- Financial Review.

A meeting jointly of all members or the Arizona Cattle Growers As. sociation and the Arizona Woo, Hrowers' Association, which has been calied to convene at Flagstaff, Ari- zona, on July 7th, 9th and 9th. it is predicted, will be the most sipnificant gathering of stockmen ever gotten to. gether in the state. This business of the raising of cattle and sheep on the range is encountering possibly the worst handicaps of any of the basic industries as resulting from the de- pression of our reconstruction period, and realizing the urgency of organiz- ed effort as the only means of se- curing a recognition of the needs to avert a disaster to the industry, the cattlemen and sheepmen of the state are hopeful that the deliberations of this important meeting will bring to the industry some means of solution of the serious problems with which it is now confronted.
 B. H. Crabb, the president of the Arizona Cattle Growers Associa- tion, has announced to the cattlemen the imperative necessity of united &C., tion in the interest of securing relief measures in financing and in reduc- ing costs of operation, if the business is to survive from the deplorable con- ditions existing at this time, and from all sides there is an unusual indica- tion that the cattlemen will respond in large numbers to this opportunity of securing protective measures which will be taken up at the Flagstaff meeting early in July.

BIOLOGIST MAKES REPORT
 ON THE Fl DORADO POOL

The people of Mohave County who have become interested in the Fl Do- rado oil field will be interested to note what world famous geoligist had to say of the field. The main thing of interest in regard to the interview is that it is an answer to the question "ls Fl Dorado pocket pool ?"
 The world famous geologist, Dr. G. W. Murray, says that it is not, but the leg of the mother-pool, that when once penetrated with drill, will surprise the civilized world and ultimately place Ell Dorado on the map as one of the worlds greatest oil fields.
 When asked what he thought of the field by this thine, Dr. Murray said: well, young man, you can through the medium of your valuable paper, convey my candid convictions to the world, that you are in the very heart of one of the greatest pools in the world, for quantity and quality, if the devine laws of nature are to be recken- ed with, you have one of the greatest undeveloped fields in the world.
 "All the large oil fields of the world are found at the base of ancient sea walls.
