BISBEE. Ariz., Jan. 27.--Pro-
duction Of copper will be re-
sumed here approximately March
1 by mines of the Copper Queen
branch, Phelps Dodge Corpora
ton, according to G.. II. Dowell,

suspended April 1S, OF last year,
will probably not be appreciably
increased, said Mr.. Dowell, with
the resumption of production, the
present force merely shifting a
part Of its activities from de-
velopment work to actual mining
Of ore.
AS the ore bins at the Douglas
smelter Of the Copper Queen are
well stocked, Mr.. Dowell said,
production will start on March /

DURING HOLDUP
Republican A. p. Leased Wlrel

PITTSBURG, Jan. 17s - Several
persons had been taken into custody
tonight in connection with the rob-
berry today of the First National bank
of Grafton, a suburb, by five armed
bandits, during which Harold Moss,
assistant cashier, was killed when he
attempted 10 obtain a pistol to de-
fend the institution. Although there
is no direct evidence against those
arrested, one Of whom is a woman,
Miss Anna Joyce, they are being held
by the police as a precautionary
measure, city detectives said. Sew
eral of the suspects have been taken
to Grafton in an attempt to have
them identified by bank employees.
The loot obtained by the bandits
amounting 10 about $23 900, was re-
covered after the robbers abandoned
their automobile in which they es-
capped, following a running gun fight
through the lower north side with
detectives in a machine who inter-
cepted their car.
After checking up the amount
taken by the bandits. bank officials
said they believed all had been re-
covered.
The Pittsburg detectives had start
ed for Grafton shortly after the rob

Point bridge. An order to halt mere
~ speeded their machine. The police
lost some time in turning, but fol-
lowed through the lower north side,
firing at the robbers, who stood on
the running boards of their car re-
turning the shots. The fire became
too hot and the bandits left their ma
chine near the Fort Wayne station,
seeking shelter in a house nearby.
The house was surrounded but the
bandits escaped. In the car was
found money and Liberty bonds, guns
and overcoats.
A Gordon of police was thrown
around the entire north side and in
structions issued to guard every
street and search suspected houses.
County detectives also were sent to
guard the highways leading to the
north boroughs.
Cashier Moss was killed when,
slow in obeying orders to line up
against wall with five other en-
ployes, he reached for a pistol and
was instantly shot through the head.
Police said tonight that they be-
lieved the bandits were "out Of town

ASSA|LS
SENATESTAND
ONNEWBERRY

WASHINGTON. Jan. 27-The sem
ate was told today by Senator Reed,
Democrat of Missouri, that never in
all the history of legislative bodies
in the world has so shameless a reso-
luton been adopted" as that ~~~
proved by the senate in confirming
Senator Newberry, Republican of
Michigan, in his seat.
There is not a man who voted for
this resolution" Senator Reed said,
who did not brand in red letters
above and over his political record
the word 'dishonor.' No word OF
tongue and no word of pen can de-
scribe the degradation of that reso-
luton and the self-confessed degra-
dation OF those who supported It."
1.-THE tongue is paralyzed in an eff
fort to describe a thing like that. IF
he was wrong. why did you not wipe
out the effect OF the wrong and not
adopt it?" Senator Reed continued.
You say: This thing that crawls
and has forked tongue and crooked
teeth is a poisoned serpent. There
fore we win admit It to the family
circle and allow it to wind its folds
aabout the arms OF our children
You say: This is q dog with the
rabies. Every time he sinks his
fangs into the flesh they carry with
them deadly disease and therefore
we will turn the dog loose on the
community
You say: This is thing black
with infamy: therefore we will spread
1t as a mantle over the senate cham
ber'
you say: This is a deadly leprosy
that. introduced in to the body poll
fic will destroy the virtue of the
nation. Therefore. we will introduce
the disease here
You say: This office was sold
for money. Therefore. he who bought
1t shall be confirmed in his title
"You say: The thing is crimson
in its crime, and reeking rotten in
all its parts. Therefore, it shall be
introduced into the senate chamber
to vote on a bill concerning the well
fare of the state
'You wrote the epitaph OF decency
in this body and you have preserved
it for all time in the records OF the
state.
"a new word ought TO be intro
duced into our tongue-a word that
would describe this sort of thing that
has happened-a Newberryism. 1t
will not serve much use however. be-
cause the thing that l have described
never will happen again. for there
never will appear upon the face OF
this earth another band OF gentlemen
who will write down in cold type,
the thing is bad, wicked. dangerous
to the state. and therefore. we do that
thing: therefore. we ratify it, we
confirm it, we sanctify IT."

MEXICO CITY, Jan. 27.-Reports
from Paris that war between Mexico
and Guatemala has broken out are
wholly without foundation. so far as
newspaper circles in Mexico City are
informed.
While no statement has been made
by government officials, in news
paper circles close to the govern
ment, reports were secuted as ridic-
ulous
The Mexican minister to Guate-
mala recently was recalled to Mexico
City, giving rise to rumors of
strained relations. These rumors
We're officially denied and the gov
ernment, through President Obregon,
has declared that Mexico would not
interfere in Guatemalan affairs.
Mexico City is the gathering point
Tor many Guatemalan eXiles and op-
ponents OF Provisional President
Orellano. In view of this fact the
government has announced its neu-
trality and warned all persons
against violation of it.
Events in Guatemala since the
latest revolution in that country
have been closely followed in Mexico.
Every effort has been made to pre-
serve the strictest neutrality, espe-
cially along the boundary. Early this
week it was reported that a small
Guatemalan federal force had crossed
the border in pursuit of a band of
alleged revolutionists. No serious
difficulties between the Guatemalans
and the Mexicans resulted.
NEW YORK, Jan. 27.-The Mexi-
can consul general, Senior Lobos
stated tonight that he had received
no advice from his government rela-
tive to a state of war having been
declared between that country and
Guatemala as reported in a London

TRepubIIcan A. p. Leased WIre1

WASHINGTON, Jan. 27.-Presi-
dent Harding, it was said today at
the white house, will investigate re-
ports that banks in the west and the
southwest have been loaning federal
funds provided by the War Finance
Corporation at rates which are above
the legal percentages allowed, and
which have been declared uSurious.
The usual rate charged for federal
loans to farmers and stock raiserS
in the sections mentioned is 51a per
cent, it was said but the stock raisers
have been charged rates varying from
3 to 10 per cent and in many in
stances. commission also has been
charged.
Secretary Fail in the cabinet meet
ing today, it was said by white house
officials, reported the situation to
the president, who Immediately COM
municated with Eugene Myers, Jr.
managing director of the War Fin
ance corporation, who verified the
report.
Mr.. Meyers, who Immediately came
to the white house, told the Presi-
dent personally that most of the
loans to stock raisers had been made
to the banks handling the loans at
the general rate of 51a per cent and
that in only few instances had the
rates been six per cent.
Mr.. Meyers told the President. Il
was said. that he had learned the
banks in the southwest had been
charging as much as five per cent
for six months loan and charging
an extra two per cent commission
for each renewal
The legal rate banks are allowed to
charge the stock raisers over the
federal rate of 5A per cent. it was
exlained, is only two per cent That
rate is to cover the cost OF inspection
and the risk on the loans and other
similar charges.
1t was not indicated at the white
house just what steps would be taken
against institutions found violating
the laws in that respect. but it was
said the first move might be to re-
fuse further federal moneys to such
banks.
President Harding. It is under
stood, received the reports with deep
feeling, and promised action, saying
that the services for the lending of
federal moneys for agricultural and
STOCK raising purposes was supposed
to be entirely free and that the gov
ernmert does not sanction usury in
any connection.
Inquiry made of local bankers
asst night brought out that moth
ing in the foregoing dispatch
applies to Phoenix banks. None
of the banks of this city have
loaned or handled any War Fin
ance Corporation funds. Banks
handling such funds are allowed
difference of 2 per cent. and
It was suggested that it was pos
sible than banks in some parts of
the country were exceeding that
but no local banks, and so far
as known here, no banks in the
state are involved in any tran
sactions with War Finance Cor
poration funds.
