ONLY ONE ACQUITTAL
IN STATE LIQUOR CASES

Out of 173 cases charging national
prohibition act violations initiated
since January 1 last by prohibition
officials, 172 convictions were obtain
ed and one acquittal resulted, accord
ing to M. E. Cassidy, federal prohibi-
ton director for Arizona.
The last of this group of cases were
disposed of during the recent federal
court session at Tucson, which Mr..
Cassidy attended, prosecution of the
cases, most of which involved charges
of manufacture or sale of intoxicants,
were conducted by Frederick Bernard,
United States district attorney, and
his assistants, Francis D. Cradle and
Ralph Bilby.
Three of the cases tried in Tucson
involved defendants charged with con-
spiracy to violate the national prohi-
bition act and resulted in convictions
with prison sentences. During his
trip over the state in which he visit
ed Douglas, Naco, Tombstone and 9TH
er Arizona points, Mr.. Cassidy made
a series of Investigations which he
intimated probably will result in more
complaints of this nature being filed.

HOPES TO GET LOWER
EXPRESS AND PASSENGER
RATE in THIS STATE

Amos A. Belts, chairman of the
state corporation commission, will
leave Phoenix on April for Washing
ton, D. c., to take part in the final
hearing before the interstate COM
merce commission of the express rate
case.
Il is expected that the express COM
pany and its intervenors, the rail COM
panies, will put in their rebuttal tes-
timony at this hearing in addition to
the combined testimony of nearly all
of the public service commissions Of
the various states in the country and
numerous civic bodies and traffic or
ganiZations.
A number of exhibits are being pre-
pared by Mr. Belts to be offered in
evidence in the case at Washington In
addition to some 27 exhibits offered
by the Arizona commission at the
hearing held in Phoenix. 1t was shown
at the hearing that the amount of rev.
enue derived by the express company
in Arizona was larger than in any of
the other states, despite the fact that
the Arizona corporation commission
has been successful in keeping the
the raise in rates granted to the ex-
press company from becoming opera
tive in Arizona on shipments from one
point to another within the state.
It is hoped, Mr.. Belts said, that the
oral arguments in the passenger fare
case can be had while he is in Wash
ington. In this case, Arizona, Nevada
and New Mexico are seeking to get
the passenger fare rates in those
three states reduced to the basic rate
of 3.6 cents a mile, the same as ap-
plies to all other states. AT present
the basic rate in these three states is
4.8 cents a mile.
The examiner who heads the case
has handed in an opinion to the COM
mission stating that the rate is unrea-
sonable and should be reduced.

THERE OVER THE STATE OF ARIZONA
GOVERNORS FIRM
FOR RIVER PACT

The COLORADO River compact be-
tween the states of California, Utah,
Wyoming, Nevada, Arizona, New
Mexico and Colorado, which has been
ratified without reservation by all of
the seven signatory states except Ari-
Zona, remains in effect awaiting out
right ratification or rejection, accord
ing to Governor Richardson of Cal
ifornia and Governor Scrugham of
Nevada. The governors of other
states whose legislatures have rati-
fled the part without reservations
are understood to have the same
conviction.
Gov Richardson's attitude toward
the pact's status was made plain in
a telegram declining the invitation of
Arnold Kruckman, secretary-treasurer
of the League of the Southwest, to
attend a conference on the Colorado
agreement to be held in Santa Bar
bara to draw a new agreement.
In declining either to be present
himself or to send a representative
to the league meeting, Governor Rich
ardson wired Mr.. Kruckman:
"Fail to understand your authority
in calling conference and do not un-
derstand Arizona has nullified Colora
do pact"
Gov. Scrugham of Nevada, who
shares Governor Richardson's opinion
on the pact and who has likewise de-
clined to accept an invitation to at
tend the meeting or send represen-
tative to the conference, replied to Mr..
Kruckman's invitation as follows:
Replying to your wire of March
10, 1922, we do not concede or under
stand that the Colorado river pact has
been nullified by the failure of the
Arizona legislature to ratify.
"You have neither the standing nor
the authority to make or initiate any
kind of a pact, and / am at loss
to understand your connection with
the problem.
"There will be no official represens
tation at your meeting from this
state"
Members of the California legisla-
ture who are favorable to ratification
of the Colorado pact without reser-
walton have been informed by Arizona
friends that the Arizona legislature
may meet in special session and ac-
cept the pact without change.

TUCSON GAVE ROTARIANS
FINE WELCOME; G. ALLIE
MARTIN new GOVERNOR

G. Allie Martin, managing editor OF
the Ell Paso Herald, was elected gov
ernor of the 8th Rotary district at
Tucson last Friday and Albuquerque
was selected as the 1924 convention
place. Mr.. Martin was chosen on the
second ballot, l. B. Koch of Flagstaff,
Carl Einhart of Roswell, N. NJ, and
Harry Heap of Prescott, receiving
heavy votes on the first ballot.
Prior to the balloting, there were
only two candidates announced. These
were Mr.. Martin and Mr.. Einhart. The
two additional nominations were
brought out at the time of balloting
and came as a surprise.
The entrance of the other two into
the race caused certain apprehen-
sion on the part of the Martin con-
stituents, who had been confident OF
victory for their candidate until the
two Arizona men were named. Alvin
Dixon, campaign manager for the Ell
Paso candidate, had considered that
the election of the Ell Paso editor
would be a cut and dried affair, with
the Arizona clubs free to cast their
ballots for one or the other previous
ly announced candidates. The votes
of the Phoenix and Tucson clubs were
considered especially necessary in
making the election of Mr.. Martin
certain.
AS each club participating was al
lowed one electoral vote for every 25
members, or major portion of that
number, there were a total of 33 cleo
toral votes cast.
Mr.. Koch, who shared with Mr..
Martin the honor of being one of the
two highest candidates in the first
ballot, Immediately tried to withdraw
from the contest. He appreciated the
honor conferred upon him but felt he
couldn't well give the time the office
demands. But Rotary parliamentary
usages do not permit candidate to
withdraw. However, he asked the
delegates of several Arizona and New
Mexico towns who had voted for him
not to do so again, telling them he
would regard it as special favor If
they did not. In this way he succeed
ed in defeating himself by narrow
margin, though many of the delegates
insisted on voting for him anyway.
MI. MaftlH JOlHSu Tie III L dSo nv
tary club in 1914. He was president
of that club in 1919, and has been a
director in Rotary on five different
occasions. Mr.. Martin has been con-
nected with the FL Paso Herald for
the past 21 years. He comes origin
ally from San Antonio. He is now
ending his second year as president
of the Ell Paso Automobile club, and
has just ended four years service as
director of the Ell Paso chamber Of
commerce.
Mr.. Martin presided over the dis
trict conference last@year in Los An
geles when the present district gov
ernor was elected. He is extremely
popular all through the southwest.
where his ability, progressiveness and
other high qualities have amply earn
ed that popularity.
There were nearly 400 Rotarians
and their wives at Tucson. The pro-
gram was highly interesting and in
structive, the welcome offered by Tue
son Rotarians and Tucsonians general
ly spontaneous and generous. Fol
lowing the two-day program there,
the entire bunch motored to Nogales,
where they were royalty entertained
by the Nogales Rotary club.

SETTLED NOW WHO WILL
BE ASHFORK JUSTICE

L. C. Parke, who has held the Of
flee of justice of the peace of the
Ashfork precinct since January /, will
continue to serve in that capacity
according to a decision rendered by
Judge Richard Lamson of Yavapai
county, ruling in the case of H. L.
Wilson versus Parke.
In the suit, which has been pending
for several weeks, Wilson contended
that Parke legally had not been elect
ed, contesting number of votes cast
for his opponent, who ran on nom
partisan ticket.
A recount of the ballots was or
dered and was held in the office of
F. E. Smith, county treasurer, where
the vagaries of the average voter
were brought to light.
Judge Lamson ordered a chart of
the votes made and submitted to him
and then ruled that the defendant in
the case and the present incumbent,
Parke, had been given 65 votes as
against 62 cast for Wilson.
