The Press at the Conference

The people of the United States are letting the representatives to the coming on the Vston of know that they want the confer <nee conducted in the They all the details cf the gathering which may greater significance 10 the future welfare the nations than even the Peace conference itself
 As soon as there was doubt expressed that the press would not be admitted daily sessions t'ass conference at Washington in November a pro- <e<t from quarters which has increased in volume and in vigor until member of the confer snee can fail 10 be impressed with its earnestness and the nsistence that .the of this country be sixen place the council table as the represen- tative of the people
 There are representatives at the disarma- ment conference who do this recognition of the of America; that it should have 10 all the deliberations and be free to publish every word of what takes place at the discussions. But the storm Of protest which when it became known that the press might be barred has caused Of these advocates of od-time diplomacy to weaken and to change front under the weight of public sentiment.
 The past record of secret diplomacy and secret agreements is to lend great strength to the argument in the of the disarmament conference They have their pnenviable place in the history of nations and in he cause of war and bloodshed. Lives in untold numbers have paid the penalty of secrecy in the deliberations between nations.
 The argument for secret sessions of the confer ence is a weak It is stated that such negotia- tions could be carried only in secret But biz business saw the light not so long and where they let the people know little possible concerning their affairs. they permit the light of publicity shine every phase of their business They found 1t wise thing to do It is good policy big business learned, and 1t will be equally good policy in the deliberations of the Washington conference-
 The people will not be satisfied with carefully prepared and censored report of the disarmament conference after it has been concluded. They have made that fact plain They want to know what IS going on all the time. They want every word of every session every day. They demand that the press as their representative admitted that the negotia tsons may be conducted entirely in the open.
 This conference Washington will be one of she most important held. It easily may be the
 most important in history, with its intimate rela- lion to the welfare Of every human being Amenca ss mol the place secret diplomacy. Out of such old world juggling with the destiny of nations grew the crisis which made this nation of liberty-oving nsopie Therefore the coming conference must up- hold the traditions America and be conducted open and above board. The press must have place at the council table

DECREASE
 IN FOREST REVENUE

Why should Arizona's revenuf f5rcfr her national forests drop from Ysf,- 679 to SAP. .430 in a year2
 This was the question debated at the state house when the report came to Charles Fairfield. state auditor. that revenue from the forests for the road and school fund had decreased many thousands of dollars while f;se forest acreage. 11,355.S46, represent ing every county in the state with the exception of Yuma county. was little less than the acreage of a year ago.
 Now the problem has been solved in a letter received by MT Fairfield yesterday from 1T. W. Norcross. chief enginer of the forest service with the United States department of agri- culture.
 Mir. Ncrcross has assured the audi tor that the national forest receipts have not fallen off for the fiscal year of 1921. He has pointed out that congress passed an act which makes it optional with the permittees to defer if they wish final payments of grazing fees until December sI. 1921.

I|WENTS DEVICE TO
 CRANK PHONOGRAPH

After using all his surplus energy turning crank on a photograph, George A Adams of sos East Van Buren street began work on an in vention to eliminate this work and declares he has at last perfected a device for the purpose.
 With the invention on a phono- graph only one pull of a lever is nee essary to completely rewind the ma chine, Adams said. znterlocking cogs respond readily to the single stroke. As the motor runs the lever returns gradually to it's original position. This feature keeps the operator ad- vised at all times as to the speed of the motor. The device also will en- nance the appearance, as it substi- tutes a tiny ornamental knob for the crank. Patents on the invention have been applied for

Their proximity ito Minnehaha Falls makes the name especially appropriate A statue of Longfeliow in heroic size ornaments the Gardens, and was un- yelled with appropriate ceremonies. The house in which Mir. Jones lives is replica of the Longfellow house. and contains collection of things owned and used by Longfellow.
 All in all, this is a most unusual zoo, for it is no mere meaningless col : lection of animals. but the expression of a human personality.

Jose Hernandez Dead After
Being Shot in Saturday
Night Brawl in Border
Town. One American In
jured.

Jose Hernandez, chauffeur for the
MeXicali police department died yes
terday from a bullet wound in the
abdomen inflicted by Francisco Izunza,
alias Frank Alexander, age 10, after
Izunza had terrorized scores of people
in the Owl at Mexicali by flourishing
a gun while he was intoxicated and
under the influence of drugs. Izunza
is in Jail lat Mexieali with bullet
wound in his shoulder received when
he tried to fight off several other
Mexican policemen.
According to the police version of
the shooting Izunza accosted several
patrons and employees of the Owl and
in joking manner placed his gun
against their bodies meantime remark
ing about what good chance it would
be for him to shoot them. When the
police interferred he ran from the
building and sought refuge back of
a post from which ne fired a number
Of shots at the police. The police re-
turned the fire and wnen Izunza had
apparently exhausted his ammunition
they placed him under arrest.
While Hernandez was driving to
the Jail with him lzunza succeeded
in picking the lock on the BLACK
Maria" as the patrol wagon is known,
and was about to escape when he was
discovered by Hernandez. Stopping
the machine, the officer gave chase,
firing at Izunza when orders to stop
went unheaded. luna again began
shooting, one Of his first bullets
striking the policeman in the abdomen.
Other officers took up the chase and
soon rearrested IZunza and took him
to Jail
lzGnza is said to be we'll known in Ell
Centro where he is said to have work
ed as 4 waiter in a restaurant for
some time. He is declared by the
MeXicali police to be addicted TO the
use of drugs, which they believe
caused him to menace the crowd with
his gun.
When the gun play started in the
Owl Saturday night the crowd stam-
peded for the exits, and several were
slightly hurt in getting through it
is said. An American was baly hurt
when he ran from the building and
directly into TIE path of the Mexican
mounted police who were passing the
building. He was knocked to the
ground and trampelled by the horses
before he could De rescued by COM
panion.
