ability was unconstitutional, but if it is constitutional it is not sound gov ernment policy and if carried out to an extreme would lead to oligarchy, or the old Roman form of govern ment. He will recommend the aboli- tiOn of this law.
 Concerning the position of land su- perintendent created by the last legis- lature, four-year term, after Janu- ary l, next, the govenor-elect said that term would be cut down to two years along with other long terms, if the bill he recommends passes. He would not commit himself as to whether the office of state superin- dent of banks would be recommended for abolishment, and the work put back in the auditors office where it was prior to July last. The question was asked to quiet a persistent ru- nor that this change would be made. The position pays $5,000, and the gov ernor's program for economy led to the rumor, if rumor it is, that he would abolish it, it was learned in pol itical circles.
 Governor Hunt plans a change in the board of parole and pardons which would remove the superinten- dent of public instruction from that board as he does not believe the head of the public school sysetm, with its children of tender years, should be compelled to sit in judgment over men and women convicted of crime, some of them condemned to hang. He said he would recommend to the leg islature an act to be submitted to the people, changing the law so that the board of pardons and paroles be made

appointive by the governor.
 In regard to the long year terms, to hang over after he takes office, the governor indicated that the water commissioners office might be abol- ished along with the child welfare board, although he made no definite statement in this regard. In the same way. he viewed the position of adju- tant general.
 In political circles, however, it was current that the session laws of 1919, revising the civil code concerning the adjutant general would be repealed, permitting the selection of the adju- tant general with sufficient military training, provided he had not been out of active service more than two years. The 1919 laws are such, as explained, that practically only one man can qualify for adjutant general, the man being Colonel w. s. Ingalls,, the pres ent adjutant general.

INDUSTRIAL CONGRESS-
 WILL ELECT DIRECTORS
Especial to The Sum

Six directors of the Arizona Indus l trial Congress are to be elected this week by the members of the organiza- tion in the first annual election of l the congress. Ballots have been mail ed to the entire membership, and will | be canvassed and the results announc- ed at the annual convention of the congress, to be held December 18th and 18th at Phoenix.
 The election is expected to devel- op some real contests, as there are | three candidates for each of five of the six vacancies to be filled. Consid- erable interest already has been aroused by this fact.
 Owing to the fact that each of the major industries of the state must have the same representation on the board of directors of the Industrial Congress, members of the congress will vote only for a director from their own group. That is, farmers may vote only for the director for the agricultural group; business men for the director for the business and financial group, etc. One director is | to be chosen, from the three candi- dates, from each of the six divisions into which the membership is divided.
 The candidates for directors were nominated by the organizations mak ing up the six groups of the congress, three men being nominated for each vacancy to insure that the members of the respective groups would have a wide choice. For instance, the Ari- zona Farm Bureau Federation nomin- ated three men for the one vacancy of director for the agricultural group; the bankers and merchants associa- tions and the chambers of commerce made three nominations for the direc- tor for the business and financial group, etc.
 The ballots mailed to all members of the congress carry voting instruc- tions requesting that each member classify himself in the group repre- senting most closely his business or profession, and then vote for one can didate for director in that group. Hence each member will vote for but one director.
 This provision that each industrial group have the same number of di- rectors, and that members vote only for the directors from their groups, has been termed one of the strongest 1 features of the form of organization of the congress, as it assures that no industry can control the board of di- rectors. The disparity in numbers be- tween various groups is so great that any other system is impossible.
 The candidates for director in each of the groups of the congress are as follows:
 Agriculture-C. M. Bridge, Somer- ton; Fred Caring, Flagstaff; Law renee G. Wilson, Casa Grande.
 Business and Financial-George E. Buxton, Douglas; David Goldberg, Phoenix; Charles F. Solomon, Tucson.
 Livestock-Charles E. Burton, Ash fork; Hugh E. Campbell, Flagstaff; John Hennessy, Flagstaff.
 Mining-T. H. O'Brien, Inspiration.
 Professionally. P. Bland, Globe; John D. Loper, Phoenix; J. o. Mullen, Jerome.
 Public Utilities-Spiro s. Proto, No- gales; Frank E. Russell, Tucson; F. s. Viele, Prescott.

Final Rites For
Martyred British
War Lord Monday

LONDON, June 23.-The funeral of
Field Marshal Sir Henry Wilson will
be held Monday in st. Paurs cathe-
1ral, the empires military pantheon.
The body will be inferred in the north
transept beside the grave of Field
Marshal Lord Roberts. Full military
honors viii be accorded the dead SOL
der.
The two men arrested as assassins
of Field Marshal Wilson were ar
raigned on a charge of murder today
and formally remanded for week in
order to enable further investigation
Little has been added to the identity
or the motives of the assassins, ex-
cept that they proved to be former
soldiers.
Thus far responsible republicans in
Ireland who have spoken regarding
he assassination, including Eamon de
Valera, have disavowed any knowl-
edge of the crime or its perpetrators.
Mr. de Valera tonight, however, is
sued a political manifesto in which he
denounced the policy of the British
government and that of Ulster as the
cause of such outrages. Sir James
Craig, the Ulster premier, also issued
4 statement in whith he asserted the
assassination would serve TO widen
the breach and harden the hearts OF
the Ulsterites for their policy OF no
surrender.

MADALY LYNNE' 'SLOVE
VICTIM TEsT|F|Es
FOR PROSECUTION
Says Story Of Ragged
Strangers" Was Framed
By Accused Woman"
Identifies Letters
IRepublican A. PLEASED wirel

Los ANGELES, June % Mrs.
Madalynne Obenchain sought to per-
suade Paul Roman. now a convict,
to give false testimony for her in her
first trial for the murder of J. Bel
| ton Kennedy, Roman testified today
| in her second trial.
He followed up his assertion by
| identifying about a score of letters
| as having been written by Mrs.
| Obenchain from her cell in the Los
Angeles Jail to him in Folsom peni-
tentiary, where he is serving a SEN
tence for grand larceny. The letters
teemeds with expressions of affection
and % referred TO story Roman
was tW tell.
The last missive, which Roman
said was handed to him in the county
Jail while he was there last May,
having been brought from prison to
testify for Arthur C. Burch, CO.
defendant in the Kennedy case, read
as follows:
Paul, My Sweetheart:
Il love you, believe me. Don't give
me up now. If you do / will take
you with me- so help me heaven"
There was no signature. Roman
said the handwriting was Mrs.
S5 bill, was brought to him by a Jail
"trusty."
The false testimony" Roman said
he was to give was that he had over
heard two ragged men" plotting to
kill Kennedy after having tried to
blackmail him. Mrs. Obenchain at
her first trial testified that when
Kennedy was shot in Beverly Glen
on August 5, last, she saw two
ragged men disappearing in clump
of bushes after two shots had been
fired at Kennedy.
Roman did not testify at the
previous trial regarding this angle
but was witness for the defense in
both Bruch's trials. His testimony
on these occasions was that a story
of a thorn having been cut from
Burch's knee similar to a species
found in the Glen was frame up. :"
This testimony was read from the
transcript in the first Obenchain
trial. Roman testified that he was
placed in jail here July 19, 1921. He
said he had previously met Kennedy
and had also become acquainted with
Mrs. Obenchain and saw the latter
soon after she was arrested last
August. Later on they had con-
versations in the Jail, while he was
on duty in the meulcai clinic thefe,
he declared. which resulted in "re-
hearsing'' the story about the ragged
men,
This story, he said, was repeated
to Ralph r. Obenchain, former hus-
band of the defendant, who was one
OF her attorneys at her first trial.
Roman was taken from the Jail on
December 23 last to San Quentin
penitentiary whence he was later
transferred to Folsom. He said that
he saw Mrs. Obenchain the day he
was leaving the Jail and told her he
had changed his mind about testi-
flying for her" and that she told him
if he did not she would make it hot
for him.
Previously, he said, they had ar

chain was to refer to the testimony

SWING BILL
.R0bS STATE:
of ITS RIGHTS
.GOV. CLAIMS
Advocates Passage Of The
Smith -McNary Bill AS
Best Way Of Carrying
Out Reclamation Work

BISBEE, Ariz., June 23-Charging
that the Swing johnson bill would
practically make a nonentity of Ari-
zona and rob her of the water and
hydro electric power rights of the
Colorado river, Governor Thomas T..
Campbell. of Arizona, in an address
here tonight, advocated the passage
of the Smith McNary bill as the
most feasible way of carrying on
the reclamation work of the western
states.
In my opinion" said the governor
Arizona has reached the peak of her
prosperity unless the Colorado river
or other rivers of Arizona are har
messed and water and power fur
nished the people. AT the present
time the mines of the state are fac
ing the problem of high power cost.
AS prices Will never reach the pre-
war level, it means that costs will
not ct NE down and unless a cheap
power is found they will never be
able to produce the quantity of ore
they have in the past, and never
reach the billion pound point almost
attained under the urge of the war.
Condemns L. AS Selfish Spirit
THE Swing johnson BILL" Cover
nor Campbell pointed out in prais-
ing the Los Angeles spirit which has
induced her rapid growth and con-
demninc her for her selfishness, "has
been drawn up to furnish Los An
geles with the power she needs as
seventh largest manufacturing city
in the United States. This bill is a
detriment to Arizona, should it be
passed"
In advocating the Smith McNary
bill, which the governor said he
hopes will De passed this session OF
congress as a rider to the bonus bill,
he pointed out that sS50,000. 900 would
be authorized for reclamation work
IN 16 western states, and would fur
nish a necessary aid to states under
taking reclamation projects.
AS rider to the bonus bill il
would take the place of the presen,
clause of the bonus which gives, the
governor said. public lands to the
soldier that are worth nothing
In discussing the most efficient
manner of undertaking reclamation
work, the governor pointed out that
there Wee three schools-those who
ADVOCATED federal control; those who
believed the state should manage the
DEVELOPMENT: and those who believed
in private concerns-and of these,
he said, private concerns were 'un-
doubtedly the most economical.

TARIFF TALK
Republican Leaders Seek
To Limit Debate On Bill
Through New Rule If
Present One Fails

WASHINGTON. June 2S-Slow
progress in the senate on the tariff
bill today resulted in a new cloture
, movement Republican leaders in
private conferences planned to in
woke the existing cloture rule, limit
ing debate by thirds vote and,
if unsuccessful. they said they were
considering the drastic step of laying
aside the tariff bill to fight for their
pending majority cloture rule.
Senator Watson, Republican of
Indiana. was said TO have made the
suggestion for an attempt to apply
book.
Senator Lodge of Massachusetts,,
Republican leader, said he believed
the cloture move would be made.
Vote On Two Amendments
Two paragraphs of the bill were
disposed of favorably today and the
votes on these were the first the
senate had had since the considera
tlon of the measure was resumed
last Tuesday following passage of
the naval appropriation bill. Rates
approved were on chains and spades,
scythes, etv.
The rates on chains ranged from
IS cents a pound to 80 per cent ad
Nalorem and represented a material
reduction from the duties originally
proposed by the committee majority.
The duty on spades, etc. approved,
was 80 per cent ad valorem as orig
inallv recommended.
Much of today's discussion con-
sisted of Democratic replies TO
speeches made previously by Repub-
lican senators. Contentious of those
senators that American industry was
threatened by an inflow of cheaply
produced German goods were dis
puted by Senators Hitchcock of Neb-
raska and Jones of New Mexico, both
Democrats
Presenting official reports from
American government commercial
representatives in Germany to show
that wages in that country as meas
ured in marks were from 10 to 20
times as high as before the war;
Senator Hitchcock told the senate
that the talk about disastrous Ger
man competition was bugaboo."
Both he and Senator Jones declared
that the bill seemed to be designed
10 continue commercially the war
with Germany.
Curtails German Exports
The Nebraska senator asserted
that despite enormous subsidies to
railroads and industries in an effort
10 cheaper production and expand
export trade. Germany is now able
to export only one third as much as
it did before the war.
Referring to the attack yesterday
by Senator Watson, Republican of
Indaian. on the New York Times,
Senator Jones charged that II was
part OF a plan of the Republicans to
distract attention from the trifi bill,
which he said had not been defended
in any of the several addresses de-
livered recently by leaders CT the
majority side. Characterizing the
Times. as another great Independent
newspaper" the New Mexico senator
said he did not believe there was
another paper in all the country
that enjoyed the confidence of the
people" TO a greater degrees than the
Times. He added that he did rot be-
lieve the Republicans could convince
the People that the metropolitan pa
pers and press generally We're cor

WASHINGTON, June 22--Along
with official expressions of regret for
the mine strike outbreak in Illinois.
it was made known today that the
administration still was pressing ef-
forts to bring about a settlement of
the bituminous coal strike through a
conference between the two parties
and has some hopes of success. There
were White House intimations that
publicity for the details of the at
tempt would not be helpful and that
details consequently wouls be with
held.
President Harding was said to de-
plore the Herrin events and to realize
in them evidence of the bitter hos
tility arising out of the strike. while
Secretary of Labor Davis who was
twice in conference with the Pres
ident during the day. issued a state
ment declaring that those respon-
sible for the outrages in the Illinois
mining town should be punished to
the fullest extent of the law.
The President is awaiting an Off
cial report on the events in the
Herrin field which he is said to ex-
pect shortly. Labor department
agents have been in constant touch
with strike developments since April
/. when the miners walked out in all
Union fields.
Efforts to bring about the desired
settlement at present lie along the
lines of getting the mine operators
and the miners union representa-.
tives into a joint gathering, Secre-
tary Davis indicated.
The miners leaders, however, have
countered in the informal negotia-
tions with proposal TO meet in
national conference fixing wages at
one time for all fields. The opera
