CAMPBELL CLAIMS MAJORITY
FAVORS COLORADO TREATY

Belief that the public opinion of a
majority of Arizona citizens is in fa-
vor of the Colorado river compact and
that a vote on the matter would be
overwhelmingly in favor of its ratifi-
cation was expressed by former Gov
ernor Thomas f. Campbell, who has
returned from a five-weeks' tour of
the east which took him to Washing
ton and other eastern cities on private
business.
"In the absence of any special ses-
sion of the legislature before the next
election" he declared, II intend to
set in motion an opportunity through
the initiative and referendum for the
people of Arizona to determine wheth-
Ell the next legislature shall ratify the
pack without reservations"
Failure of the Arizona legislature to
ratify the compact was one Of the
greatest disappointments of his entire
public career, the former governor as
serted. The most unfortunate part
of this failure, he declared, is that the
state that would be benefited most
by the pact was the only one of the
seven basin states not to ratify it.
IT was advised while in Washington
recently from administrative sources"
he said, "that there viii be no devel-
opment permitted on the river either
by private or government agencies un-
til the pact is ratified

WOOL GROWERS HEAD
PREDICTS GOOD TIMES

Prosperity of worldwide and per-
manent nature was predicted by F.
j. Hagenbarth, president of the Nat
ional Wool Growers association.
Asserting that in the west, sheep
men "were coming into their own, "
with prices for wool prevailing from
40 to 80 cents pound, Mr.. Hagen
barth stated that prosperity of the
wool growers could be taken as cri-
terion for general prosperity. In the
inter-mountain country there are
about 100000 sheep, which will
bring in at the prevailing prices near
ly $15,000,000 for wool and about
$20, 100000 for lambs, according to
Mr. Hagenbarth.
'"There is one thing to be done IN
behalf of the sheepmen, however" he
continued "and that is to adjust wool
freight rates. The rates now are no.
toriously unscientific and unbalanced.
They are not equitable in different
sections Of the country.
"At hearings to be held next month
in Billings, Salt Lake, Boise, Portland
and Phoenix, by the Interstate Com
merce Commission, we propose to
make scientific expose, bearing in
mind, however, that the railroads
must live.

ministration and the need for prison
reform. Members Of the Rotary, XII

mans Advertising clubs joined in the
luncheon, several hundred being pres

"Eytinge said he thought the jury
system was failure in the trial of
criminal cases. He thought man ac-
cused of murder should be tried before
judges, three judges sitting together
in each case; never one, lest the one
man be influenced by his own physical
condition during the trial. He thought
that criminals should be imprisoned,
not for life or for any definite term,
but until they showed unmistakable
evidence of change of heart. Then
they should be released. A child with
measles is sent to a hospital, not for
a number of weeks, said he, but un-

ternal injuries sustained in an auto
mobile accident which occurred near

from Prescott to care for the woman,
was forced to attend the injured hip
by the light furnished from the car,
with the assistance of two little girls
who were in the car. The great suf-
fering and the extreme exposure
which the woman went through were
almost uncomfortable, but she had to
be cared for before she could be
moved.

During the rain storm last night, or
rather early this morning, lightning
played a peculiar freak with a couple
of Indian sheepherders employed by
Tom Ortega with one of his bands OF
sheep. The place is some miles south
east of Holbrook. The lightning struck
the camp, killing a dog and twisting a
gun all awry. The two Indians We're

streaks down his back, where the flash
had scared him. The shock rendered
them senseless, however, when it hit

COMMON LAW MARRIAGE AN
NTTLS COMPENSATION

A ruling was made in Camden,
Tuesday, by Referee Cordin, of the
Workman's Compensation Bureau, that
common law marriage deprives a
widow of redress under the act: 1t
was in the case of Mrs. Mary Hackett,
of Swedesboro, who sought compensa-
ton for the death of her husband,
Harry Hackett, killed in March, 1921,
when run over by team while in the
heroic act Of trying to stop runaway
horses. Counsel for a bonding com
panv that insured John H. Carroll. who
employed Hackett, asked that the COM
pensation be cancelled on the ground
the woman had entered into common
law marriage relationship with anothel'
man. A denial of such relationship
was made by Mrs. Hackett, but Refree
Corbin stated that he was convinced
that technically she was in the class of
= married woman. An order cancell-
ing the compensation was accordingly
entered.

Deer Season To Offer
Sport To All Hunters

Hunters who were fortunate to bag
a deer during the days of the open
season, last January, will not be de-
prived under the "one-buck-a-year
law, of the privilege of deer hunting
again this month, according to an i'm
portant decision of State fish and
game commissioners. The open sea-
son, this time extends to over five con-
secutive days from December II to 21,
inclusive, instead of certain Wednes-
days during December and January
and already thousands of sportsmen
are preparing to spend the entire
period in the deer woods.
Under the law that permits a hunter
in New Jersey to kill only one
deer a year. the fact that many hunters
bagged deer during the open season
that extended into January, alst,
would seemingly operate to deprive
them from hunting again, this month.
This would probably have been the in
depreciation of the law had the open
season dates remained unchanged but
the last legislature having returned to
the old plan of five consecutive days
in December for deer hunting, the
commissioners have decided having
killed a buck last January, sports
man will be entitled to go deer hunt
ing again this season.
All reports from the deer woods in
dicate that game is plentiful. Large
bucks are probably not as numerous
as in recent years but most sportsmen
who have been thru the deer woods
agree that there is no shortage of
young bucks. The bucks must have
horns visible above the hair before
they become legal game and this law,
which makes it necessary for hun
ter to identify his quarry as buck
deer is credited with doing much to
prevent careless shooting and the in
jury of fellow sportsmen. Wearing of
red hats and coats by deer hunters is
advocated by game wardens as an adj
ditional safeguard to hunters.
Every successful hunter must report
his killing of deer within 48 hours,
to warden or to the State Commits
sion at Trenton, under 800 penalty
for failure. Only shotguns, none
smaller than IL calibre, can be used
in deer hunting in New Jersey. Rifles
are prohibited 1t is also illegal to
hunt at night, or to shoot same from
an automobile.

NO JERSEY MUSKRATS
FOR NONRESIDENT BOYS

Nonresident hoys cannot trap musk
rats annd other fur-bearing animals
in New JERSEY, this Winter. under the
new law that gives the State more
direct control of trapping operations by
renuiring that all trappers carry a
fishing and hunting license. This law,
enacted by the last Legislature. has
been advocated for several years by
native trappers who sought to stop
aliens and non-residents from inter-
fering with owners trapping lines.
New JERSEY woods and meadows
aTorded excellent trapping during re-
cent wears and many nOn-residents
have crossed the State boundary to
engage in this Temunerative winter
oocupation In order to continue their
trapping operations, these non-fesl-
dents must now take out non-resi-
dent fishing and hunting license. The
license is necessary for every person
engaged in any manner in setting or
carinp for the traps. Efforts for soEoe
non-residents to circumvent the new
law by using boys under IA years OF
age to care for the trans on JERSEY
lands will be checked. hereafter by
the decision of the Fish and Game
Commission that there is no provision
in the law under which nonresident
bows can procure q license to trap or
+ hunt in New jersey.
Onlv those aliens who can qualify
for fishing and hunting licenses as
owners of uninrnn1bered real estate to
I the value of $4,000 in New Jersey can
engage in trapping. All trappers must
be prepared to show their licenses to
anv warden. policeman, propertv
owner or anv other person requesting
to see it.
The trapping season for nuskrat
skunk. mink and otter extends from
November IS to March l. These ami
mails may be trapped only. and cannot
legally be shot.

NJ INNS IS MAN
Of MYSTERY IN
BASEBALL
Why Stuffy Was Waived Out
of League Is Still
Unexplained.

What's the matter with ''Stuffy''
McInnis?
Why was he waived out Of the
American League?
At present McInnis Is the biz
question mark of the. baseball world.
"Stuffy' McInnis has joined the
Boston Braves. he viii add much
strength to that club.
Playing with the Braves he will
help the prestige of the National
League in that city, where Aneri-
can League popularity has already
been shot to pieces.
Report has it that McInnIs was
waived out of the American League
because no club believed he was
worth So, 900 a year. Incidentally
that, belief cost McInnis q cool
SO 900.
II such is the truth, 1t looks as
il number of American League
clubs will suffer as the result Of
such a penurious policy. Several
teams could use him to advantage.
1t would seem that the st. Louis
Browns would have gone the limit
to get McInnis, with the condition
of Sisler still an uncertainty. For
a time ST. Louis bid for McInnis.
then suddenly terminated negotia,
tions.
When McInnis consented TO be
transferred to Cleveland, it is under
stood that the Boston club agreed
to pay him bonus Of $4,000 for
three years. McInnis sought 10
get the bonus in a lump sum.
1t was pointed out to him that
such a thing was unnecessary to
protect his interests, since there
was no chance of him getting away
that time.
