FEDERAL JURISDICTION i
 DENIED SOME CASES

An indisposition to load its dockets up with bootlegging cases was revealed in the federal dis trict court here yesterday morn- ing when Judge William H. Saw telle dismissing number of cases awaiting grand jury consideration, said he would not try cases initi- ated in state courts. It was indi- cated at the office of the United States marshal that a number of cases touching violations of the prohibition laws had been brought to the federal court on search warrant evidence, the warrants having originated in justice courts and being regarded as faulty in the district court.
 An agitation recently sought to have many if not all liquor law violations in this county turned over to the federal authorities for trial on the ground that convic- tions could be obtained before the United States court, whereas in the county court many of lenders were acquitted. Judge Sawtelle dismissed II such cases here yesterday.

 "83" PETITION
Associated Press Night wirel

PHOENIX, June 6. - Petitions bearing 1,500 more than the required number of signatures asking that house bill No. 8, be referred to the voters of the state at the regular election next fall instead of at a special election as provided in the bill, were filed with the secretary of state today There were 4,254 sig natures on the petition while only 3,423 or 5 per cent of the total vote cast for governor at the last election were required.
 All of the petitions were directed against article of the bill which was passed at the last legislature. Article proposes an amendment to the state constitution to provide for the issuing of state bonds to pro mote and assist in the reclamation and irrigation of lands in the state and provides for the submission of the proposed amendment to the voters at a special election.
 The bill provides that before the state bonds are issued the state shall receive from the land owners of the district to be benefited, district bonds which the state will hold as a guaranty that it will be repaid for the money given the district.

 MOVE ALTERED
Associated Press Night wire)

1 WASHINGTON, D. C., June G. 1 By IA to l, with two democrats vot- ing present, the house foreign affairs
 committee today reported a joint resolution which would give Presi-
 dent Harding the master hand in
 calling an international conference on disarmament.
 Rejecting the same resolution it approved a year ago, the committee "concurred in the declared purpose" of the president to call such a con- ference and sent its new measure to the house as virtual suggestion to
 conferees on the naval bill that it be
 accepted as substitute for the
 Borah amendment authorizing and requesting the press to call a naval disarmament conference of England,
 Japan and the United States. It had been expected the bill would go to conference today but the motion was held up until tomorrow.
 Republican committeeman stood solidly on the resolution prepared by Chairman Porter. The whole question of disarmament, both naval and military, had been placed before the committee. Taking up the Brooks resolution from the last congress, re- ported but never acted on by the house, Representative Flood, of Vir- ginia, ranking democrat, fought to have 1t adopted again but found no republican support. It would auth orize and request the president to ask all the powers to send delegates to a disarmament convention.

fAssooIated Pregg Night wIrel

WASHINGTON, D. C., June G. Inauguration of senate consideration of the $355,OOOOOO army appropria- ton bill today brought from senators advocating economy a hot attack on the committee recommendation for a minimum army of 10000. Econ omy advocates led by Senator Borah, republican of Idaho, and including Senators Hitchcock of Nebraska and King of Utah, democrats, criticized the personnel provision and indicated their intention to wage bitter fight to reduce it.
 Senator Borah announced he would move to limit the army to l50,000 men because 1 am convinced that is the lowest obtainable under the circumstances"
 Senator King, however, declared he would seek to obtain a reduction to 100000.
 The amendment for a minimum army of l70,0G0 as compared with the house provision for an average army of 150,000 also was strongly supported during debate.
 Chairman Wadsworih of the mili- tary affairs committee declared in ability to cut army expenses was due to the unwillingness of Newton D. Baker while secretary of war to re- duce the size of the army.

Whether Tommy Murphy, colored, who shot and killed a fellow patient in ward at Whipple Barracks, will be tried for murder at the present term of the United States district court here may depend upon the state of the defendants health.
 Murphy has been in the county jail since his arrest by county officials on charge of murder He has been held to trial in the federal court be- cause the offense alleged against him occurred on government ground.
 During his incarceration, Murphy IS said to have remained i'll, and at one time, according to the jail au- thorities, set fire to his bedclothes on the ground they were not sani- tary, and nearly smothered himself to death in the smoke.
 The Murphy case is the only one involving a major law violation, on the current federal court docket. Pending criminal cases cover game and bird regulations violations and similar small offenses, and the list of cases for the grand jury run the gamut from failure to register to white slavery and selling liquor to an Indian. Of 28 cases listed, 19 are for bootlegging.
 Sawn Case Pending
 Among the pending cases, how ever, is one of special interest here-I the charge against Robert Sawn of wearing the naval uni form. Sawn has been in custody at Kingman in the Mohave county jail, | but has been sent for.
