VAUGHN IN FAVOR
OF MOTOR FREIGHT
ON NoGAlES ROAD

PHOENIX, Feb. describing as a
backward step the order of David F.
johnson. chairman, and Amos A.
Belts. member OF the corporation
commission, denying the application
of Frank Turner and William J. Kline
to operate a motor freight line be-
tween Tucson and Nogales, Loren
Vaughn, of the commission. in a dis
senting opinion today, declared that
the rejected applicants offered a
cheaper and better service.
The majority members of the COM
mission held that public convenience
and necessity did not warrant grant
ing OF the application because there
is at present a tri-weekly railroad
service.
/. Our state highway department,
aided by federal appropriations, is
building roads not for pleasure cars
alone. but for freight as WELL" said
Mr.. vaughn's opinion, in part. Some
OF the best highways in the country
are in Arizona and, with such high
ways firmly built at the expense OF
every citizen. cannot conceive Of a
denial OF the public to the privileges

LIVESTOCK AND RANGES

PHOENIX, Feb. Ranges on the
foothills and desert sections of the
district have been greatly improved
by moderate to heavy rains at the
close Of the week Winter ANIMALS
have come up rapidly and are afford
ing excellent pasturage for sheep and
cattle in the sections named and
stock water has been greatly increas-
ed. Monday and Tuesday heavy snow
fell at the higher attitudes and ranges
have been covered with heavy blan-
ket of snow and in many places feed
ing will be necessary for short time.
Fortunately high winds were compar-
atively general SO that pastures were
left bare in spots enabling stock to
obtain SUFFICIENT food to carry them
along until normal conditions return.
In the Flagstaff section there are
about IS inches of snow ON the
ground but generally it is badly drift
ed and highways will be closed for
several days. In the Prescott section
fifteen inches cover the ground and
the same highway conditions prevail
as reported at Flagstaff Ten inches
snow are reported At Williams and
six inches at Grand Canyon where
the range is reported poor and cattle

BRIGHT OUTLOOK FOR
sHEEPMEN REPORTED BY
U. S. GRAZING CHIEF

= ~. y. o"S&sfNS SI't1E
TUCSON, Feb. THAT conditions
in the livestock industry are steadily
improving and that the sheep raisers
during 1922 should have an especially
profitable year through the, sale Of
wool and lambs. was the way Will Z.
Barnes. assistant forester and chief
Of grazing, Washington. d. c., sum-
married the situation among cattle
and sheep growers as he has found il
on his tour of the West.
For the past few months Mr..
Barnes has investigated conditions
among stock growers throughout
Utah, Wyoming, Montana, Idaho. Ne
vada and Arizona, as result Of
which he has been able to study the
situation confronted by them in de-
tail The assistant forester also at
tended the meetings OF the cattle and
sheep growers in these various states
in order to acquaint them with the
workings OF new legislation passed by
congress and also to hear first hand
information regarding the difficulties
confronted by the livestock men.
Mr.. Barnes declared that delegates
to the recent convention of the Ari-
IONA Sheep Growers Association
which was held at Phoenix, were
particularly optimistic regarding the
outlook for the coming year in the
sheep raising industry
The sheepmen have it on the cat
tie rsisers at the present time he
said. 'as they are able to make two
turns TO the cattlemen's one. The
sheep grower will sell his wool in
April and May and later on will dis
pose OF his lamb crop. Indications
this year point to a large crop OF
lambs. Another encouraging feature
is that the price of wool and lambs
has increased.
What apparently is one of the
setbacks in the cattle business is the
result of the campaign inaugurated
during the war against eating meat
Prior to the war Americans had been
great meat eaters, but as a result of
the educational campaign conducted
during the conflict. the consumption
OF beef has fallen off to a great ex-
tent.
What livestock raisers expect to
be Of great value to them is the
Kenyon Kendrick law, which is known
as the stockyards and packers act
and which governs the operations Of
stockyards. commission men and pack
ers.

NEGRO TROOPER
FACES COURT ON
SERIOUS CHARGE

FASGS SOOHt On
SERIOUS CHARGE
TUCSON, Feb. AFTER two days
spent in trying to secure jury in the
case OF the government VS.. Robert
Mangum. charged with attacking an
army oficer's wife at Fl Huachuca
evidence was started in the case and
it will probably be concluded on
Thursday. 1t was necessary to Sc
cure a special yenire Of 90 jurors to
fill the panel after the first days
work.
The Mangum trial. one having sen
sational aspects, gives promise OF
arousing more widespread attention
throughout the country than any case
tried in Tucson in several years. as
press representatives from large coast
dailies gathered early Tuesday and
were granted special place in the fed
eral court room by district Judge
William II. Sawtelle.
Well filled by tense audiences.
whose ears were strained to catch
every word passed. the court room
scene was one rarely observed in
cases going to trial in Tucson.
Ralph Langworthy. counsel for the
defendant. a negro, formerly connect
ed with the veterinary detachment
stationed at Fort Huachuca repeat
eddy eliminated jurors as he queried
whether they had formed prejudices
in the case and whether their opin-
ions would be altered and influenced
by evidence produced in the court
room.
Would you accept the testimony
of an egro as material evidence equal
to that of white man."
Are You inclined to have preju-
dices against ngro accused Of
rape?"
Such were samples OF the list Of
queries applied to each juror under
going examination After a morning
spent in the attempt, a trial jury had
not been secured at two o'clock Tues
day afternoon and preparations were
made for the opening of the afternoon
session
Mangum was brought to Tucson
secretly in the month of July, 1921,
as rumors OF mob violence and lynch
ing of the negro arose at Fort Hua-
chuca.
The negro soldier is alleged to have
been guilty of rape upon the wife Of
an>army oficer at Huachuca. it being
charged he assaulted her in a canyon
on the military reservation.
Government authorities state that
they will produce testimony to show
that ManSun approached the woman
as she was riding horseback and that
she fell from the horse and was as
saulted by the negro, a rescue being
made by another officer who heard
the screams of the woman from dis
lance
The defense of the negro is said to
be under the auspices Of a -colored
society, which has raised funds 20 be
used for the purpose Of clearing him
of the charge.
