NAVAJOS PROTEST ORDER
CREATING COMMISSIONER

Indians on the Navajo reservation
in Arizona, New Mexico and Utah do
not take kindly to the appointment of
a commissioner. Protest is expressed
in a petition to the secretary of the
interior, expressing the belief that the
appointment is a violation of the
treaty of 1868. The case will be
carried to the federal courts if nee
essary, it is said.
The commissioner appointed is Her
bert j. Hagerman, of Roswell, N. NJ,
former territorial governor. He is the
first to be appointed to this office in
a period of more than 90 years.
The petition in part follows:
"We of the tribe Of the NzVajo In
dians of Utah, Arizona and New Mex
leo believe the order directing the
appointment of commissioner to our
tribe is illegal Our tribe has had a
form of government by council of all
the Indians for so years or more. We
do not want our tribal form of gov
eminent changed.
eve believe we are entitled to a
voice in the councils of our tribe un-
der our treaty with the United States
we nave uSdIt Will CIlc Willie Hldll
and granted him leases on our lands
through our Indian agents to whom
our treaty tells us we must take our
matters.
"We are concerned for another rea-
son. We know that part of our
lands are valuable for oil. Many
leases have been requested. We be-
lieve we have the right to decide upon
granting these leases, as we have al
ways done, and do not think our con-
sent to such leases should be given
by six men selected from our num-
ber
1.-The order for new commissioner
and six-man council is making the
Navaios feel very bitter. We feel so
sure that this order is violation of
our treaty rights that if it is insist
ed upon, we will ask the United States
courts to rule upon our rights.
"But we are determined to uphold
our rights in a proper and legal man
ner, and we hereby pledge our faith
in the United States and in the hon
orable secretary to do so as shown by
our signatures affixed hereto"

GATHERED FROM HERE AND THERE OVER THE STATE OF ARIZONA
OTHER STATES WOULD
TRY ARIZONA'S PLAN

The Arizona plan of cooperation as
put into operation in the Arizona In
dustrial Congress is being studied IN
a number of eastern localities at the
suggestion of the United States de-
partment of agriculture.
Several instances have been report
ed in which the Arizona plan was cit
ed by department officials in cases
where cooperation between business
men, farmers and other industries was
sought, and last week the Industrial
Congress was informed Of still anoth-
er case.
In writing Bruce Dunlap, county
agricultural agent at Hollidaysburg,
Pennsylvania, on March %, William
A. Schoenfeld, director of marketing
research for the agriculture depart
ment, said:
"I am enclosing Bulletin No. IL
(Annual Report and Accomplish
ments) of the Arizona Industrial Con-
gress, showing the accomplishments
of that organization for last year.
You will recall my having discussed
the good work which this organization
is doing and the relationship Of this
type of work to the work you have
in mind for your county"
Mr.. Schoenfeld will be recalled as
being sent to Arizona as a special
representative of Secretary of Agri-
culture Wallace for the annual con-
vention of the congress last Decem-
Der. He and other officials of the
department, and Eugene Meyer, Jr..
managing director of the war fl
nance Corporation, frequently request
the Industrial Congress to send full
details of the Arizona plan to outside
sections where cooperative organiza-
tions are beinC considered.

HEAD BRAKEMEN WANT
CUPOLAS TO RIDE IN

Believing that head brakemen on
trains operating in Arizona, especially
freight trains, should be provided
with convenient places in which to
ride in safety during the time the
train is in motion, the state corpora
tion commission has issued an order
setting May May A as the date upon
which it will hold an investigation to
determine whether or not the loco
motives shall be equipped with Gu
pola in which the head brakeman may
ride.
The order names all steam railroads
operating in the state respondents in
the case and cites them to present
estimates as to the cost of equipping
their engines with suitable cupolas.
The hearing will be held in the office
of the commission at the state capital.

COMPLETE BIG DISTILLERY
is FOUND NEAR PHOENIX

of national prohibition, was uncovered
by federal prohibition enforcement Of
ficers within the very shadows of
Phoenix. 1t had capacity of 80 gal

A five-room home, two miles west
of Phoenix, and midway between the
Yuma and Christy roads, had been
converted into modern and complete

had been spent in its construction, the
installation undoubtedly having been
the work of mechanics.

HOLRROOK FAMILY BREAKS
BREAKING RECORD

w. H. Chamberlin, manager of the
wholesale mercantile house Of L. B.
Putney Company in Holbrook, receiv-
ed word this week that his daughter,
Mamie, who broke one of her arms
about a month ago, had broken the
other one during the past week. It
is needless to state that Mamie has
but two arms. Mr. Chamberlain states
he is out of luck as among his
three daughters they have had seven
broken arms and one broken leg with
in the past year. He thinks this is
going some for one family. The
daughters are attending school short
distance from San Diego, Cal. Mr..
Chamberlain feels that his family is

''OLD CLUB FOOT"
FAMOUS GRIZZLY
BEAR IS KILLED

M. r. Butler, while riding on Es-
cudilla mountain recently, encountered
large silver-tip grizzly bear. Mr..
Butler, who was mounted on a mule,
took shot at Mr.. Grizzly, but the
bullet failed to find vital spot. The
bear, becoming enraged, started in
pursuit of Mr.. Butler and the mule,
whereupon ensued very exciting race
in which the bear was gaining rapidly
upon the mule and the consequences
might have been disastrous had not
Mr.. Butler by a we'll directed sho
hit the bear in the head, which ended
the race.
Upon investigation, the bear was
found to have his left foot missing;
therefore Mr. Butler knew he had kill
ed "Old Club-Foot." This bear has
ranged on Escudilla for years and
many have been the calves, and even
full grown cows that have been slain
by the beast, as proven by the pecu-
liar track left by Mr.. Club-Foot when
the cattlemen would come upon the
mutiliated remains of their stock.
The bear hide is now on exhibition
at the Springerville Mercantile COM
pany's store and measures seven feet
from tip to tip, and seven feet across,
being literally "as broad as it is
long" The breadth of its head from
ear to ear is fifteen inches.
Clay Hunter, noted trapper Of this
vicinity, identified the bear as being
one he had trapped fifteen years ago.
and on which, at that time, certain
cattle men had offered reward Of
one hundred dollars. Mr.. Hunter,
wishing to make sure Of the reward,
left the bear in the trap and pro-
ceeded to Springerville to collect the
reward. However, being prior to the
advent Of Mr. Volstead and his amend
ment, rumor has it, that upon his ar
rival, Clay partook rather heavily of
something stronger than Bevo, and
upon his claiming the reward for the
bear, the cattlemen would not believe
him and refused to pay it.
Clay returned to the trapped bear,
and climbing an adjacent tree, pro-
ceeded to shoot off the trapped foot
of the bear with his rifle, thus setting
him free, and at the same time giving
the beast the name which for years he
was able to carry, until the fatal bull
let Of Mr. Butler ended his career

THE CAPITOL

AS its attraction for two days
beginning tonight, the Capitol
theater has announced the Select
Pictures Corporations special pro-
duction, ''Pawned,' made under the
personal supervision of J. Parker
Read, Jr. Advance reports on the
photoplay warrant the statement
that motion picture patrons who
are fond of mystery thrills, and
action will overlook bet if they
fail to see this offering.
~Pawned" is from story Of
Frank l.. Packard, among the best
known of. America; writer's Of
current fiction and especially dear
to motion picture devotees because
of the success of his 1.-The Miracle
Man" as photoplay. The tale is
frankly melodrama but melo
drama done in such a way as to
make the picture stand out among
the really worth while and artistic
productions on the screen.
The title comes from a series of
pledges. either willingly or unwill-
ingly, made by the principal char
acters. One pawns his life to the
service Of an international gamb-
Ter. Another pawns his soul to
drugs, another to drink. and the
heroine pledges her hand in mar
riage as a loveless bride to save
the life of the man she loves. One
needs no further information to
convince them that the working
out Of such a tangled skein is
likely to result in intense and vivid
ph0toplay action.
Tom Moore and Edith Roberts
are featured in the interpreting
cast. Irwin V. Willatt directed the
picture.
