ARIZONA,S OLDEST RESIDENT
 DIES; WAS OVER 1O6 YEARS OIL

Mrs. Mary J. Taylor, Arizonas' old est resident died recently at the age of 106 years, one month and one day. The end came peacefully and without warning as the aged woman detired at her customary early hour and nev- CT awakened. There was no illness and the evening was spent as her evenings usually were, in quiet con- versation, as she rocked in her easy chair, and enjoyed the company of her children. She lived with her son William Taylor, at 1460 Nineteenth St.

The Senate and Immigration

IIt StNdIt dIIu IHINIIS IdtIUI
 The immigration committee of the Senate has begun consideration of the House bill extending for another year the three per cent quota law.
 There is some sentiment in the Sen ate in favor of stronger legislation. MT. Harris of Georgia, has proposed a total suspension of immigration for five years. Our unemployment pro- blem is not as grave as when Con- gress enacted the three per cent limi- tation measure. Still, it remains grave, and while it remains so Congress will agree, at least, that the tide of new corners hould remain limited.

SECRETARY FALL AND ALASKA

Secretary of the Interior Fall in a statement says he has been unjustly attacked since he attempted to have the Forestry Service, controlling ap- proximately 120,000,000 acres of for est in the United States and Alaska, transferred to his department. Nation wide editorial criticism, it is said, re- suled from this action by Secretary Fall, and also resulted in a breach with officials of the Department of Agriculture. In the first interview given relative to the troubles, Secre- tary Fall stated that while he had not wished to be drawn into public discussion of the matter he felt he could properly reply to propaganda sent all over the United States by the Department of Agriculture. Secretary Fall says his desire to assume greater responsibilities in Alaska brought town upon him "the wrath of Gif- ford Pinchot and his followers, and immediately there was issued a press sheet in glaring black headlines, pur- porting to be sent out by the American Forestry Association.
 "In the first column appears an in- terview quoting from Colonel Greedy, Chief of the United States Forest Ser vice. In the second column is a pie ture of this very efficient official, and under the picture, the explanation in headlines: Colonel w. B. Greedy, Chief of the United States Forest Service, who challenges plan to get control over Alaska's forests Below this picture is quotation, apparently emanating from the American For esters, or someone else, to the effect:
 "The purposes back of this attempt can be surmised, though they are not accurately known. Secretary of In terior A. B. Fall is apparently chief sponsor of this movement, as he was the chief sponsor of the Curry bill, still technically before Congress, but probably dead. This bill was direct ed against continued public control of Alaska. A more daring piece of leg islation has not been attempted in our time.'"

Steel Firms Deny Data to Trade Com.
 mission.

The Federal Trade Commission, which has for nearly two years been endeavoring to compel twenty-two large steel corporations to answer questionaires regarding the affairs of their corporations, lost one round of its fight when Justice Bailey of the District of Columbia, signed an order which grants the corporation what is believed to be permanent injunction against the commission to restrain that body from interfering in the cor poration's affairs.
 It was charged by the Federal Trade Commission that the steel corporations were responsible in large degree for business depression in that they re- fused to scale down their prices in proportion to the sealing down of prices of other necessary commodities.

said and so some arrangements must
be made to handle this work and it is
