AMERICAN TROOPS
ORDERED HOME
President Recalls Contingent
From German Soil
EVACUATION UNDER WAY
Soldiers Will Be Conveyed To Sea-
ports TO Await Arrival OF Trans
ports-No Fear Of
Clashes.

Washington-The American troops
were ordered home from the Rhine by
President Harding.
No official explanation of the order
was forthcoming, but it was under
stood to have followed notification
from France that she intended to pro
coed with occupation of the Ruhr Val
ley despite definite knowledge tina,
withdrawal of the American troops
would be ordered if she did so.
The order contemplates immediate
movement Of the troops to Bremen OF
Antwerp for embarkation.
The only American Army units to
remain in Europe will be those at.

ice.
1t is expected the transport ST
Mihiel will reach the European port
finally selected for the embarkation
within eight days of her sailing. Move
ment of the American Army from the
Rhine to the selected port will be
made in the meantime by rail.
The decision to withdraw the forces
was announced after a conference
between President Harding, Secre-
tary Hughes and Secretary Weeks at
the White House. Secretary Hughes
would make no statement, but it was
assumed he took to the conference
advices from France showing the de-
termination of the French Govern
ment to carry out it's PREPARATIONS pro-
gram.
In the absence of any official ex-
PLANTATION, the inference Immediately
was drawn in many quarters that the
withdrawal was to be interpreted
rather as a protest than as an at
tempt to avoid any trouble with
which the American forces might be
threatened as result of the French
advance.
Although the French forces going
into the Ruhr are passing near
American headquarters at Coblenz,
there has been. no fear in military
circles here that the American Army
would in any way be involved in any
clashes that might occur between the
French and Germans. If any such
trouble developed, it is said here, ii
would almost certainly be conferred
outside the zone of American control
Recently as precautionary meas
ure General Allen has held within
their barracks the French detach-
ments which are at Coblenz and
which technically are under his com
mand as the ranking military officer
there. This step is understood here
to have been taken, however, at the
request of the French commanders

RESTS WITH HOUSE
Committees Recommendation
May Be Final
REP. THOMAS TAKES ISSUE
Declares Hearing Was Converted Into
Prosecution OF Accuser--
House Action Moot
Question.

Washington.-Dis of impeach-
ment charges brought against Attor-
ney-General Daughefty by Representa-
tive Keller, Republican, of Minnesota,
is recommended to the House in a
resolution adopted IL to by the Ju-
dietary Committee, which held public
hearings on the charges last month.
At the same time the Committee
approved, II to Q, formal report to
the House, holding that that body
had the power to punish Mr.. Keller
by Imprisonment or otherwise for his
refusal to obey subpoena issued for
him Immediately after his dramatic
withdrawal from the case on the third
day of the hearings.
| Both the resolution and the report
| will be submitted to the House by
| Chairman Volstead, but whether there
will be formal action on them appears
now to be moot question. Some
committeeman are of the opinion that
| the House action is unnecessary but
others think the resolution and the
l lCPO1t Will ICSdIC W MI. hSlISl
should receive formal consideration.
| The report is understood to say,
| further, that the Committee is of the
opinion that the Minnesota member
was legally required to obey the sub
poena, and that the House possesses
| full power to cause him to be ar
rested and confined in prison until
he shall consent to testify, such con-
| finement not to extend beyond the
term of this Congress, next March 4,
and also possesses power otherwise
to deal with him so as to compel ODE
dience to the summons.
Representative Summers and Thomas
voted against this report and Repre-
sentative Montague, Democrat, Vir-
ginia, voted present. The report car
| ries no recommendation for affirma-
tive action by the House as it was
decided to leave this question solely
to the judgment of the membership.
Should the House concur in the
Committees view there would be es-
tablished a precedent which some
| members argued would be of far
reaching Importance. 1t was contend
ed that if Congressional committees
were given power to summon mem.
bers, they could sit outside of Wash
ington and call away enough of the
membership to insure passage or de-
feat of any legislation which it might
be desired to rush through the House
Announcing he would file a, mi
nority report, Mr.. Thomas charged
that the impeachment proceedings
against Mr.. Daugherty had been con-
verified into prosecution of Mr. Kel
Ter. He said the Constitution pro-
vided for the arrest of member of
Congress during sessions of that
body for only three things, treason.
felonies or misdemeanors.

QUARANTINE IN CT. JOHNS
AREA NOW MODIFIED

Between 5000 and 10000 head of
range cattle have been shipped from
Holbrook and Cooley to California
during the past month, according to
DR.. S. E. Douglas, state veterinarian
Most Of the cattle shipped, Dr. Dou-
glas said were good feeder stock
although the calves were shipped for
immediate slaughter.
There is plenty of winter feed in
Navajo and Apache counties, Dr. Dou-
glas said, and there are a large num-
Der of range cattle in the southern
end of those counties which are fat
enough to place on the market now
but the cattlemen are holding them
for better prices.
/ The quarantine in the area, about
Est. Johns, Dr. Douglas said, will pro-
badly be maintained for another year
.The area was quarantined about two
years ago on account of the cattle
scabies in the district. Recently the
cattlemen in the district finished
dipping 27000 head of cattle in the
quarantined area The quarantine
has been modified, DR.. Douglas said
so that cattle may be shipped out of
the district under inspection and a
permit from the state veterinarian.
The maintaining of the quarantine
for another year, the doctor said, is
being done under advice from the
United States bureau Of animal in
dustry in order to see whether the
dipping of the cattle in the area has
completely eradicated the scabies.

PETITION FOR REHEAR-
ING OF SHEEP RULING

A motion for a rehearing of one
of the two sheep cases recently decid-
ed by the Arizona supreme court has
been filed with the clerk of the court
by Judge F. w. Perkins of Flagstaff
secretary of the Arizona Wool Grow
ers' association, and Morrison and
Morrison of Prescott, counsel for the
sheepmen in the cases.
The opinion of. the court in the
case of the state against Hazas and
Martinez, sustained the conviction of
the lower court while in the case of
the state against Brown, the judg-
ment of conviction was reversed and
the case remanded back to the lower
court. The rehearing is sought in
the case of Haas and Martinez.
The cases involved the constitu-
tionality of the Arizona statute which
requires that sheep be moved across
a cattle range at a rate of speed
greater than three miles day, all
three men having been convicted on
that charge. Although reversing the
case against Brown, the supreme
court upheld the constituionality of
the statute, reversing the one case
on technical errors in the complaint.
In asking for a rehearing of the
case, counsel for the sheepmen allege
that the cases failed to show any
facts on the part of the state that
justified the passage of the statute
by the legislature or the need of the
state to exercise police powers"
Cite Idaho Law L
The state also failed to show, coun-
sci contends in the motion for a re-
hearing, that conditions in Arizona
relating to the joint use Of the pub
lie lands by the cattlemen and the
sheepmen in the grazing Of their
herds and flocks were the same as
those existing in Idaho, which caused
that state to pass similar law and
which was subsequently upheld by
the United States supreme court.
Conditions, in Arizona, they allege
did not authorize the legislature to
pass the statute, because the record
of the case at issue showed that a
joint use of the public lands had been
made by the cattle and sheep men
for 20 years without conflict and
therefore, they contend, the sheep
law is not lawful exercise of the
"police powers" on the part of the
state.
Because of the issues involved, the
cases have drawn the interest of
every cattle and sheep man in the
state and the outcome of the motion
for a rehearing of the one case will
be closely observed by all interests
involved

OF SHRINE
DURING WEEK OF FAIR

Detailed arrangements have been
worked out for FL Zaripah Shrine
Temple ceremonial to be present
ed at Phoenix during the week of
the state fair, beginning on Thurs
day November Is, and continuing to
Saturday, November II.
The opening event of the brilliant
and spectacular ceremonial will be
a Shrine parade, including five bands
beside that of the Ell Zaribah Temple,
and the three-day program will Gull
inmate with the grand ball on Satur-
day night at the temple on West
Washington street.
Shrine officers cite that the cere-
monial will add to the attendance at
the state fair, by reason of occurring
during the week of that event, and
that possibly it's attendance also will
be increased for the same reason. A
class of at least IS novices is ex-
pected to be initiated into the mys-
teries of Ell Zaribah Shrine, while
several hundred are expected to be
in attendance at the ceremonial.
Delegations of both novices and
Shriners from all parts of the state
are to be in attendance at the cere-
monial. The parade and the cere-
monial closing with the traditional
annual banquet, one of the principal
events in the Shrine year, will oc-
cupy Thursday night, the first day OF
the ceremonial program.
New and original stunts learned by
the directors during their trip to the
directors association meeting last
spring, will be brought into the al
ways novel initiation ceremonies
The parade will be filled with unique
and novel features.
On the night of November 16, Fri
day, the Daughters of Isis will gath
er, this being an organization com
posed of the relatives of Shriners
with the Shriners as honorary mem
bers. The meeting will be the re
organization of the auxiliary, which
has not functioned in Arizona for
many years, but is to become in the
future one of the leading activities
connected with Ell Zaribah Temple
it is understood.
j Saturday night. November II. will
be occupied by the grand ball, which
will be a leading feature of the cere-
mOnial.

WILL AID NEW MEXICO
HANDLE TIMER LANDS

An agreement whereby timber on
lands belonging to New Mexico, and
lying within or near the national
forests, will be handled according to
the rules and regulations for handl
ing timber on national forests has
been made between the United States
Department of Agriculture and the
State Commissioner of Lands. APP
proximately 1000 acres of land,
estimated to contain 550,000,000
board feet of timber, are involved.
The State of New Mexico has no
organization equipped to administer
the use of timber on State-owned
lands SO that continuous timber pro-
duction may be assured, and in recent
years the Forest Service has infor
mally aided the State in handling
sales Under the agreement recently
signed and approved the Federal gov
ernment will now lend full cOopera-
ton to the State in handling the
timber on it's lands.
A similar agreement with the State
of Arizona was entered into in 1914
and is still in full force and effect.
Under it's provisions forest officers of
the Department of Agriculture have
supervised the cutting of many mil
lions of feet of timber from State
owned lands within the Coconino and
Tusayan National Forests.
The agreement with Arizona and
the new agreement with New Mexico
both provide that the salaries and
expenses of Federal officers while en-
gagged on State work shall be paid
