CARDNER'S TRIAL ID
 OPEN THIS MORNING;
 INSANITY H|S PLEA

Insanity will be the defense of Roy Gardner, mail bandit, wao goes on trial in federal court here this morn ing on charges of robbing a United States mail car at Maricopa early in November and with having attempted to rob a mail car here November 15, when he was captured by Herman F. Inderlied.
 Judge William H. Sawtelle, who will preside during the trial, is expected to rule this morning on a request of Thomas A. Flynn, United States dis trlct attorney. that Gardner be tried on both charges simultaneously. Mir. Flynn made the request when Gard ner was arraigned in federal court after he had been indicted. The de- fense opposed the motion and filed written arguments against it, de- manding separate trials on the two charges.
 Some of the best known alienists in Arizona will testify that Gardner is mentally unbalanced, it is understood. It is known that the defense has been vigorousdly prosecuting its insanity plea during Gardner's confinement in the county jail here and is said to have amassed scores of exhibits in support of the claim.
 The defense not only hope to clear Gardner of the two charges pending against him in federal court here on the insanity plea, but has intimated that, if successful it will carry the fight further and attempt to have prison sentences against the man sci aside on the same plea. In such ar event, it is probable that Gardner will be committed to some hospital foI the insane for treatment. Gardner is TOW facing prison sentences totallins 50 years as a result of previous mai robberies and convictions He wal sentenced to serve terms of 25 year: cn each of two convictions.
 In the event of conviction here Gardner win be sentenced to serve ar additional 50 years, providing th' jury finds him guilty on both charges The law fixes the penalty in each in stance at 25 years, there being n'

state in an organization such as state chamber of commerce, for the promoting of all business interests and industries in the state and for cooperative action along all lines that will be for the development and betterment of Arizona.
 One of the questions to be con sidered by the industrial conference is that of reclamation of arid lands" and Judge O. J. Baughn of Florence has been invited to attend the conference and make an address upon this question. While the mat ter will be considered by the con- ference generally. it is hoped that the attention of the conference will be directed to the importance anc value of the san Carlos as a state wide project, along with other pro- jects of similar nature and character which would benefit the entire state
 On December s, and 10, the League of the Southwest will hold a conference at Riverside, California, with the departmental heads of the reclamation service and interior de- partment, for general consideration of the Colorado River project. State officials and representatives of civic and commercial associations of the entire southwest will be in attend ance at this meeting, as well as prominent men from all over the United States who are experienced in reclamation work of this character.
 The committee hopes to convince the league, a. we'll as the reclama- ton service. that if the Colorado River project is to be built inn mediately, the San Carlos project should be considered as a part of the project in view of the fact that Gila River is tributary to the Col orado, and the Lower Colorado basin is directly affected by flood water from the Gila in times of high water and which would be practically elim- mated by the construction Of the San Carlos dam.
 The association will send a delega- ton to the Riverside convention. and in addition to having the reclama- tion service look upon the San Carlos
 as a part of the main Colorado River project, one of the chief ob- jects of the committees attendance will be to endeavor to secure by con- ference with the reclamation official: an increase of the acreage of the San Carlos project over that recon mended by the report of the board of review.
 The San Carlos executive com mittee Is endeavoring to do all within it's power to bring about the con- struction of this project. Whether
 it is Quilt by direct appropriation for this specific purpose. or as {
 part of the Colorado River projec is immateria S long as its is bull and built at once.
 The construction of the San Carlo: at this time would revlieve the un' employment situation, materially better trade conditions in Arizona and in fact the results to be derived would be of such magniture as ti stimulate every civic and commercial l organization in the state of Arizon; i to at this time lend every effort to
 ward assisting in securing favorabl, action.
 | The committee invites all organiza | tions, associations and persons in l terested to communicate with 1t Il regard to the project.

Much interest has been aroused by
the announcement made last week Of
the gift by Senator Clark of 100000
to the Corcoran Gallery Of Art. to
perpetuate the William A. Clark
prizes. awarded biennlally at the Cor
coran daliery's exhibitions Of cotempo-
rary American painting.
1t is indeed q generous gift. and it
was undoubtedly inspired by desire
on the part Of the donor to further
stimulsts. through competition. high
These prizes have in the past ag-
gresated 5000, there being a first
prize Of $4,000, q second prise of
$l.5e0. a third prize Of $1,000 and a
fourth prise Of $500. The probabil-
tiles are that they will not be in
merioally. SO unless the exhibitions
become annual affairs there should
be surplus from the income every
second year of approximately $1,000
The details in regard to the dispo-
sition Of the gift have not all been
hoped that the directors Of the Corr

Clark will consent to having this
surplus used a8 q Dufch06inG 6unl.
