Dissolution Suit
Will Be Reargued
LRepubIlcan A. ?. Leased Wirel

-
WASHINGTON, April 12-During
rearrangement of the Southern Pa
cific case, the last of the railroad dis
solution suits in the supreme court
today, Solicitor General Beck declar-
ed that the transaction by which G..
p. Huntington and his three asso-
ciates leased the Central Pacific to
the Southern Pacific railroad con-
stituted one Of the darkest pages in
American railroad history.
Referring to them as "the big four"
the solicitor general declared that
they had received government aid for
the construction of the Central Pa
cific to such an extent that 1t cost
them no financial outlay on their own
part to construct the system and that
by liberal dividends they distributed
the stock in large part among for
eign purchasers.
After they had "unloaded," he add
ed. they leased in what the govern
ment alleges was a violation of the
law, the Central Pacific to the South
ern Pacific, in which the same big
four' had in the meantime obtained
control. The whole purpose OF the
transaction, he insisted, was to dis
pose of all their interests in the Cen
trail Pacific and then when they were
no longer financially interested in it.
to turn it over to the Southern Pa
cific so that they could then, as the
directing influences of the latter sys-
tenn. use the Central Pacific to divert
it's traffic to the Sunset route.
The court which had set today as
the end of reargument. granted an
additional hour tomorrow and So
ncitor General Beck stated he would
use the time to present fully these
features of a transaction which he
told the court was a blot upon the
history of the transcontinental rail-
road construction and development.

French Delegate
Friendly To Russ
At Genoa Farley

GENOA April 12-Delegates from
several countries represented at the
economic conference remarked in
formally today upon what seemed TO
them a changed attitude on the part
tof France toward Russia.
They declared that Louis Barthou,
head of the French delegation. ap-
peared to be especially cordial and
conciliatory in his manner toward
George Chitcherin. leader of the Rus
sian group and interpreted this as in
dicating that France is now disposed
to 60 as far as possible toward reach
ing an understanding with Russia.
Another remark by a leading rep
resentative was that Russia doubt
less will oppose any attempt of the
conference to impose Europe's will
upon her, any project involving inter-
national control or any kind of world
protectorate.
Similarly. it was predicted among
some of the delegates that Bolshe-
vik Russia would oppose the inter-
national consortium plan. just as
China hitherto has failed to ratify
the consortium arranged for her.

Woman Talks
Mrs. Shoushusen. 40 years resi- :
dent of Arizona, told how she had
been offered the heart and hand
of famous Apache Chieftain. though
the Indian leader already had seven
wives. Her ability to make good bis
cults won the respect of the Indian
she said. She claimed the distinction
of being the first white woman ever
to turn down a crown.
Action by the pioneers to mark the
graves of the Oatman massacre was
urged by Mr.. johnson of Mesa. II
was later brought out that steps al
ready had been taken to this end, url.
der the direction of the Daughters oi
the American Revolution. Iron fences

purchased, Colonel J. FL. McClintock

Mrs. Haywood told OF Indian ex-
periences during the early days, say
ing that she suffered death hun.
dred times through terror.
The meeting then was turned oyei
| to the Arizona Pioneers association
and President John Orme presided.
Elect Officers
The election of officers and selec'
tion of place for the. 1928 reunion
followed. A resolution was passed
unanimously calling upon the mex
regular legislature to pass a bill ap
propriating good and sufficient
sums for the maintenance OF tn

For months, she added, she lived
in a shed with her chickens. There
were no houses to be had and the
family was forced to wait until the
men had time from their work in
the fields to build living quarters.
Pioneer women of Arizona bore the
brunt and burden of frontier life.
George Roskruge of Tucson, said. He
took the floor, he explained. to pay
tribute to the grand old women OF
Arizona whom he said he had over
looked in his talk of the day previous.
Captured by Apaches,
Experiences OF the Pennington
family in Pima county were recited
by Mr.. Roskruge to illustrate his
point. One of the Pennington women,
he said, was captured by five blood
thirsty Apaches during raid in
Pima county and. with little girl,
was carried away into the mountains.
The trail led toward the San Pedro
river along the northern slope of the
Santa Rita range. The woman, III
and fatigued. was unable to main
tain the swift pace set by the In
biflg her in the back wit their sharp
pointed weapons. Seventeen such
wounds were inflicted on her back,
he said.
Finally a rear guard reported a
posse of whites on the trail. The
Indians decided that, to make escape
certain. they would dispose of the
woman. who had become something
of a. burden and was impeding their
progress. So they threw her over q
cliff. he said. after beating her se-
verely over the head.
Fortunately. she landed in a snow
drift. For three days and three
nights she lay unconscious. When
she regained her mental faculties,
she was too weak to stand. Realiz-
ing that to remain where she was
would result in her death by starva-
ton: that there was little or no like
lihood of her plight being discovered
by wayward travellers, she started
back to the Pima county camp,
crawling on hands and knees. Tra-
Yelling in this fashion. it took her IL
days to cover the II miles back to
camp. only to find it deserted.
quantity of flour and coffee was
found at the site, however, and the
nourishment from these foodstuffs
revived her so that she was able tc
continue.
on her hands and knees. finally com
ing upon another camp. where she
was cared for. said Mr.. Roskruge.
Tribute to Women
"There is not stone enough in Ari-
zona to erect q suitable monument tc
these brave women" he concluded.
Mrs. Thomas Steele of Ajo. the
first white woman born in Arizona
spoke a few words She was born
at Tucson, Feb 2S. 1851, she said
and was married there 20 years later
Her first son also was born in Tue
son. Feb. I9. 1882.
Indians and rustlers were plentiful
In those days but we had more tc
contend with from the rustlers thar
from the Indians she said. She also
spoke Of the great peace parley near
Wilcox, when Apache Indians made
terms with government representa-
tives.
