Phoenix, Sept. 2.-Expressing the fear that the Senate and House conferees will kill the McNary reclamation project amendment to the soldiers bonus bill, Senator Henry F. Ashurst, in a telegram today urged the Phoenix Chamber of Commerce and the Phoenix newspapers to get behind the measure as pass ed by the Senate and to tele- graph senators and representa- tives in Washington, insisting on the retention in the bill of the McNary amendment
 The McNary amendment pro vides for the reclamatio of arid lands in the west and swamp lands in the south to be devolop- ed into homesteads which would be available to ex-service men.
 Bisbee, Sept. 2.-The follow ing telegram was received here yesterday from Senator Henry F. Ashurst:
 "The Senate has adopted the Smith McNary reclamation bill as an amendment to the soldiers bonus adjusted compensation bill and this legislation now goes to conference. The American Le zion posts in the east. west and south favor the McNary recla- nation amendment, but there is danger that the conferees will recede from or abandon this re- clamation amendment. May I presume so far as to suggest that you telegraph to such senators and represen tatives as you think expedient, urging them to ad- here to and sustain the McNary reclamation amendment?"
 SENATOR ASHURST."

Washington. (-Correspondeelce OF
the Associated Press.)- Damage
by smaller predatory rodents on stock
mems ranges, while not so spectacular
as that by wolves, mountain lions and
coyotes, is very considerable, and in
some cases more than equals that of
the predatory animals, according to
DR.. A. *. Fisher Of the United States
biological survey. There should be
closer cooperation. particularly in the
matter of appropriations. between the
federal and state governments, so that
the largest amount available from both
sources may be obtained, he says.
The department of agriculture de-
clares that if the prairie dog alone
were exterminated over its entire
range, which is economically possible
100000 more cattle and 100000
more sheep could be raised on that
area. because of the increase in the
amount of forage.
Records of the biological survey, &
branch of the department, show that
in Texas it's hunters, cooperating witt
the state agencies. have killed about
10000 predatory animals. a~ggregatine
a saving of more than 81, 100000. Of
the total of 1900 wolves and coyotes
captured, more than half had records
as killers.

ARTIFICIAL PEARL
NOT DETECTED BY
FRENCH PROBERS
Experts See No Difference Be-
tween Japanese Pro-
auctions.

Paris.-(Correspondence of The AS
ISOLATED Press.)-Owners in Paris of
valuable strings of pearls have been
thrown into something like consterna-
ton by the published opinion Of DIR.
Louis Boutan, professor of science at
the University of Bordeaux, and an ex-
pert in pearls. that he and other pearl
experts are unable to distinguish be-
tween real pearls and those artificially
grown by the Japanese. The statement
of DIR. Boutan, made at the French
Academy Of Sciences, removes the last
hope concerning japanese pearls, which
have grown in quantity since NJ. Mkt
motto, the japanese scientist, made his
discovery.
Pearls normally are grown by acci-
dent, through a fine grain of sand en-
tering the shell of the oyster. The
white substance, called a pearl, grows
inside the oyster and is a secretion
caused by the effort of the she'll fish
to get rid of the foreign substance.
Mikimoto conceived the idea of open
ing oysters and inserting the foreign
substance, or grain of sand, that for
merly came there accidentally.
Since japanese began to grow pearls
artificially, there has been much dis
c~ussion as to whether these new pearls
would affect the value Of the acciden-
tally grown pearls. The only differ
ence would appear to be in the pearl
seed, or grain of sand, and now it is
claimed by DIR. Boutan that even this
difference cannot be detected.
The statement of DR.. Boutan is cate
goric: IF I did not have a certificate
of origin when sections of pearls were
shown me, pearls cut into sections for
testing purposes, | would not be able to
say which pearl is artificial"
