ITEMS AND TOTAL OF OMNIBUS HIGHWAY BILL FAIL TO AGREE;
 SENT. TO REVISION COMMITTEE

PHOENIX, Feb. 16.-Al.hough 1t confidently had been expected yester- day evening that today the omnibus highway appropriation bill would have been passed finally by the sen- ate, the surmise proved wholly incor- rect. After day passed in taking the bill apart, item by item. and put ting it together again. it was left in he peculiar situation that its item iZed appropriations aggregated more than the total appropriation. thus set ting at naught the mathematical prin- ciple that the whole is equal to the sum of all its parts. .
 Shortly before adjournment. Presi- dent W. H. Wilkinson remarked:
 If there is nothing further to be said on the bill, 1t will be sent to the committee on style. revision and com pilation." ..
 Il have much I would like to say" replied Senator W. D. Claypool. "but notice there are ladies in the gal lery."
 G. A Becker. of Springerville. was allowed the privilege of the floor to speak against one feature of the bill,

appropriating $50. GOO for a road east from Holbrook along the line Of the Santa Fe railroad to Lupton, near the New Mexico line He appeared on behalf of another route which would pass through St. Johns. Springerville various Indian villages and the petri fled forest.
 The former route had the support of the Gallup. N. NJ. chamber of com merce, which sent a telegram today to the legislature stating the road would be an extension of New Mex. ico state highway. However, Becker presented his case so strongly that the Holbrook-Lupton item was strick en out of the bill and the Springer vile route substituted.
 Later in the day, on motion of Sen ator Scott, without disturbing the substitutes, the Holbrook-LuptOn item was restored and an appropriation of S50. 900 was made for it. sIt was then that Senator Eddy moved that, in or der that the total might be made tc conform to the items. $I,025 .00O be substituted for s975.0O0. Somehow the motion failed
 In the morning session, Senator Stoddard, Maricopa, moved that the continuing tax levy of 10 cents fol road work be reduced to five cents which would have cut the appropria ton by about $40O, 900, it was said The amendment was adopted but iI the afternoon it was reconsidered and rejected.
 House bill No. 47 was taken up In the senate in committee of the whole this afternoon. It would legislate "hawkers, peddlers and itinerant ven dors" out of business. Former Sen, ator D. H. Claridge appeared to speak for an amendment to the bill so that established merchants might send out goods in motor trucks or other. wise to serve the needs of customers in remote regions. Also. he said. in certain camps where companies own ed all the ground. passage of the bill in unnamed form might leave the in habitants at the mercy of company stores. The views of Claridge were put in the form of an amendment by Senator Lines and the amendment was adopted
 Two other amendments also were adopted. One. by Senator ClaypoOl would include lobbyists" with hawk CTS, peddlers and itinerant vendors and provide for the licensing of them The other. by Senator Eddy. provided that all moneys received from license be converted into the state road funC

 It. is expected that the conference committee which includes Senator Shoot will be able to start work with similar committee from the house late tomorrow.
 While the senate was debating. the house ways and means committee was concluding open hearings on re vision of the permanent law. With that work finished. Chairman Ford ney will leave late tomorrow for an other conference with President-elect Harding at St. Augustine. It Is un- derstood he will ask for definite ex- pression as to his views on the legis- lative program outlined by Republi- can leaders and whether he favors consideration by congress of tariff legislation ahead of taxation.
 The speech by Senator Moses was filled with caustic shots at his Re publican colleagues. He declared every senator knew that the bill, if it should become law. would avail nothing and he challenged denial by any senator that it was -unsciestific and designed to fool the farmer rath- CT than aid him" He also assaulted supporters of the bill for havig of fered no defense for its provisions.
 The Republican party cannot go before the country with such mea- sure," he declared. Tt can only give to President Wilson, who was so repudiated in November. an opportunity to eacoriate the Repub- lican party and. believe me. he will do it.
 "Why, this bill is lopsided, it's blind and it's deaf and it has the rickets. It's a combination between the rice paddles, the cane brakes, the cattle ranges, the sheep runs, and the wheat fields"

Peete. who broke down February 5. when the jury returned its verdict finding Mrs. Peete guilty, sat beside her during the arguments with his arm about her shoulder He did not seem affected by the sentence.
 w. J. Ford appeared today as coun- sel for Mrs. Peete. William T. Agge- Ter. acting public defender. who was counsel for Mrs. Peete during her tri- al. announced his withdrawal
 The motion for a new trial was based on affidavits purporting to re veal new evidence; on charges Of mis conduct in tho trial on the part of the district attorney. Thomas Lee Wool wine. and on attack on the legality of the act of the legislature proyid- ing for d thirteenth. or alternate jur- or to sit in the event of illness of a juryman.
 The district attorney distorted the facts in his argument to the jury. said Ford 3a.
 The district attorneys office filed counter affidavits. one of which, -oy Larkin A. Beck. contradicted one by him which was presented by the de fense.
 The defense affidavits were of no serious consideration. Judge Willis ruled. m announcing his denial of the new trial motion. He stated he did not believe that misconduct of the district attorney was legal basis for a new trial, and called the thirteenth juror law "a wise provision of the legislature"
 Therefore, I have no alternative; I must impose sentence" the court said. Mrs. Peete. stand up"

Too Tired To Tell Story Of Struggle

Pearson's bedroom in a local hotel was guarded tonight by two soldiers from the military border patrol sta. tton at Maria. Their instructions. they said. were to allow nobody to interrupt the lieutenant's rest.
 Comrades Jubilant
 Officers of the air service. who were comrades of Lieutenant Pearson. and who had been searching for him in the belief he was dead. were jubi. lant tonight at tlee discovery of their brother officer had returned unhurt from his ordeal in the desert They Jumped and pranced and howled like school boys. Their attitude tonight was a striking contrast to their de meanor of despair for the two days previous when Sanderson first be- came the base of operations for the searchers.
 iSnatches of information which Lieu. tenant Pearson confided to his chums as they led him to his bedroom. were gleaned from Lieutenant E. n. Jones whose station was at Camp Harry J. Jones, at Douglas, Ariz., where Pear sons quarters were.
 According to Lieutenant Jones, Pearson landed about 40 miles above Reagan Canon. but he does not know whether the plane is in Mexico or on the American side of the Rio Grande. Motor trouble is said to have preceds ed Pearson's landing and to have forced his descent Into the most bar. ren stretch of the waste land in the Rio Grande valley. Reagan Canon is about 95 miles from Sanderson.
 Prior to his forced landing. Pear. sos machine it is said, was driven south by T strong north wind. out of its compass course toward San An. tonic. His choking motor is said to have made his plane the plaything of air currents. He began to fly lower to seek safe landing place when his engine died. He was compelled to glide without power. to the earth. and succeeded in landing with orlv minor injury to the wings of the plane.
 The region of Pearson's landing is mountainous and sparsely settled. Old Texans here say it is the most inhospitable section that fate could force upon a lost airman. It offers no means of communication. Not a

 3 Hours From El paso -~ Pearson is said to have landed in the canon region at 1920 D., m.. less than three hours from the time he took the air at Fort Bliss. Fl Paso.
 Stories of what he did after hs reached the river differ. One account says that the lieutenant floated down the stream on the Rio Grande for day and a night. using a raft he had improvised from castus stems and stray pieces of wood. Another says that he was in the water not more than an hour when he was seen and brothers. whose ranch is 60 miles from Sanderson.
 The Rutledge boys furnished Pear them until he had dried his clothes and partaken Of food. Then he set forth for Sanderson.
 Not sign of human habitation was visible. He waited until the water in his engine had cooled. drew off some for drinking purposes and set tortl 10 una some means or COIunun- ication. Darkness overlook him, he says. before he met anybody.
 The next morning at dawn he con tinued his quest. X sandstorm almost blinded him as he trudged wearily across the desert. He had been with out food for two days, he said. and lack of it had weakened him.
 The third day was repetition of the second. he said The unabated wind hurled swirls of cutting sand in his face and temporarily blinded him. Late in the afternoon he reach. ed the Roi Grande. Too tired to swim. he lay down on the bank and went to sleep.
 On the morning of the fourth g2y he plunged into the river ant. with the aid of floating log, swan down stream He had been in the water almost an hour, he says. when he saw two ranchmen. They helped him to climb from the water. gave him some food and burro and escorted him here.
