Associated Press Night wirel

WASHINGTON, D. C., Dec. 19.- After a sharp preliminary sLirmish the house took up today resolution proposing an amendment to the con stitution under which the issuance of tax exempt securities by the govern ment and states would be prohibited.
 Backed by the endorsement of President Harding and the treasury, the proposal was the center of hard fight in which many republicans op- posed it. Passage of the measure offered by Representative Green of Iowa will require a two-thirds vote of the house Opponents claimed tonight 1t would be defeated although leaders who caused 1t to be brought up insisted 1t would go through. Four hours of general debate allotted un- der a special rule giving the measure right of way had not been concluded on adjournment tonight.

Associated Press Night wire)

PHOENIX, Dec. 19. - Present freight rates have created tariffc be- tween states that have narrowed the market of many commodities to the confines of the community in which they are produced, William A.. Shoenfeld, director of market re- search of the United States depart ment of agriculture, declared in an address before the Arizona Indus trial congress which closed its annual two-day convention here today.
 Because of these rates certain markets open to you in the pre-war days are now closed, while others have been narrowed" Mr. Shoenfeld said. Your only salvation, there fore, Is the development Of local markets by creating a demand for products you grow here at home, or unable to do this, convert your pro ducts from heavy bulky goods to light, compast products of high value"
 The two-day convention of the congress was attended by approxi- mately 400 accredited delegates from all parts of the state and the prob- lens and accomplishments in the field of Arizona developments were discussed by experts during the nu- merouS general and special sessions of the congress.
 Election of officers and selection of the meeting place for the next convention were left to the board of directors of the organization.

 AN ] |S r RE [:

There will be no prosecution of the husband of Gabrielle D'Ar1ey. This was made clear and definite yesterday when Mrs. DArley return ed from Los Angeles, after having dismissed the robbery complaint against the husband who had forced her to cash him check for. $2000 at a local bank, practically at the point of a revolver.
 Bernard Melvin, the husband, who was held in custody at Los Angeles awaiting a deputy sheriff from Yava- pal county, was turned loose after Mrs. D'Arley had extracted from him what remained of the 5000 and a quantity of jewels of hers, he was said to have appropriated.
 Deputy Sheriff Bill Fitzgerald, who went to bring Melvin back to stand trial, returned yesterday, the expense he had been to in going after Melvin having been put up by Mrs. D'Arley after her dismissal of the formal charges of robbery.
 The action of the prosecutrix winds up what promised to be stirring chapter in a series of dramatic do- mestic relations. The arrival of the Prescott lodging-house keeper in Los Angeles was greeted with large head lines in the Los Angeles press.

FIGURES GHOW
 CONTESTS OVER
 ROAD CONTRACT

Close competition and closer fig uring marked the bids of contractors on the recent work offered jointly by the state and county for the con struction of the road and bridges that make up project @ from Cedar Glade to Ash Fork. This stretch is the last half of the Prescott-Ash Fork highway to be contracted under the Yavapai county bond issue. Re maining on the boards program is only the Fossil Creek highway which will be contracted under the regula- tions of the bureau of public roads, as $50,000 in forest aid money IS to be added to the county's fund.
 The job of building project e was let to the state highway department on a cost plus $l0 bid. The state and county highway commission then turned around and sub-contracted parts of the work, reserving all blade or grader work for the state which has demonstrated its ability with men and machinery to do this sort of road work more cheaply than the usual run of contracting companies. The 23-mile road contains two large bridges and a number of smaller structures and the jobs to be con tracted were divided into four sched- ules on which the following bids were obtained:

RANGER AT BAKERS BUTTE
 NEAR DEATH BY LIGHTNING

Charles N. Peach, forest service fire lookoutman at Bakers Butte Tower, had a most miraculous escape from death by lightning Sunday when his tower was struck.
 The tower is built similar to wind- mill tower and extends 45 feet above the ground, so as to enable the look out man to see over the tops of sur rounding trees. At the top of the tower a cab is built, about six feet square and completely enclosed by windows. A telephone and switches were mounted on board in the cab.
 The bolt of lightning apparently came in on the telephone wire; it shattered the switches and telephone instrument, and burned the wires and imbeded particles of them into the board. The concussion also broke ev- cry window light out of the cab. The miraculous part is that MT. Peach happened to be stepping down on the floor searching for key which he had dropped, and, outside of being temporarily deafened by the tremen- dous shock, he was uninjured.
 Bakers Butte is on the edge of the Mogollon Rim, about nine miles north of Pine, and it commands an excellent view of an extensive area of heavily timbered country.-Miami Silver Belt.

MIAMI CITY MARSHAL IS
 ARRESTED ON BOOZE CHARGE

Marshal Montgomery of Miami, considered by federal prohibition en- forcement officers the most fragrant violator of the Volstead act in Ari- zona, was lodged in the Gila county jail Friday night following terrific hand-to-hand battle with federal of ficers on the Superior Miami high way. Montgomery, better known as "Tex," suffered painful scalp wound before he was finally subdued, ac- cording to report received by Michael E. Cassidy, federal prohibi- ton director for Arizona.
 The trouble started, enforcement of ficers said, when Montgomery at tempted to resist them and dispose of several bottles of liquor found in his car. He had previously been inform ed, they said, that they were federal agents.
 As a result of his action, Mont gomery is facing three serious charges, one of resisting federal of ficer, the second of destroying gov ernment evidence, and the third of transportation and possession of in toxicating liquors. His automobile, a high-priced car, also was seized, to- gether with 100 bottles of beer, sev- eral quarts of tequila and a dozen pints of old Hermitage whiskey.

MT. and Mrs. James Donohoe have purchased the Adamana hotel in that town. The sale was made during the past week. They have been operat- ing the place for the past month or so, and arrangements looking to the purchase of the place have been in course of negotiation for several weeks, the former proprietor, MT. Nelson having concluded to sell out his business. It is understood the purchase price was $13,000. The ho- tel at Adamana is an especially val uable piece of property from the fact that hundreds of people from all over the country stop there for the pur- pose of visiting the Petrified Forest and Painted Desert, as we'll as other remarkable scenic points of interest in this section of Arizona. Both Mir. and Mrs. Donohoe are to be congrat- ulated upon being able to purchase the place.-Holbrook Tribune.

SCIENTISTS SHEDDING LIGHT.
 ON ORIGIN OF HAWAIIANS

Information which may throw val uable light on the mystery which sur rounds ths origin of the Hawaiian race was obtained in explorations on the Ma Pali side of the island of Kauai by a party of scientists under the direction of Dr. H. E. Gregory, of the Bishop museum, it was reveal ed when the party returned to Hono- lulu.
 The finest type of terracing for agriculture in the Hawaiian islands was found in the valleys on Kauai and the irrigation system displayed great engineering skill on the part of the early Hawaiians who lived there, pr. Gregory said. A prov of an anc- tent outrigger canoe was found in one of the caves high up on cliff. The prov contained three skulls, which on examination, appeared to belong to some race other than the Hawaiian, probably to a race originating more to the south. The skulls may hold

NEWS OF INTEREST GATHERED
 HERE AND THERE IN THE STATE
BIOLOGICAL SURVEY FINDS
 TWO NEW RACES OF SKUNKS

Two hitherto unrecognized geo graphic races of skunks of the genus Conepatus, the hog-nosed type, have been described by the biological sur- vey of the United States department of agriculture. This general kind of skunk ranges for the most part from southern South America north to southern Arizona, where it reaches its northernmost limits. One of the two new forms, known as the Arizona hog-nosed skunk, is found in south ern New Mexico and Arizona; the other, the Nelson hog-nosed skunk, is native to Mexico.
 The fur of the hog-nosed skunk is not so valuable as that of the ordinary black skunk, owing to the poorer tex ture and to the fact that the tail and much of the back are white. This type of skunk is better equipped for roofing than others because of the greater length and strength of it's snout, and it is probably useful in the control of certain insects,

SHOOTING RESULTS FROM
 AN OLD TEXAS FEUD

Another chapter was added to a Texas feud of long standing when J. W. Anderson and w. W. Chrain met in the courthouse yard at Phoenix. Chrain, unarmed, was wounded twice when Anderson opened fire with a shotgun. More than a score of pas- sersby witnessed the affair. Chrain was wounded in the left thigh and in the right foot. Neither wound is serious.
 Anderson, who has lived in Phoenix few years, earlier in the day had called on Sheriff John Montgomery.
 "Chrain has come to Phoenix to kill me-" he told the sheriff. Depu- ties went in search of Chrain but were unable to find him.
 Later the pair met in the shadow of the county jail. After firing five times, Anderson was seized and over powered by Deputy Sheriff Sterling Price.
 The feud is said to have had it's in ception years ago with the staying of one of Chrain's relatives.
