assurances received by state head
quarters Of the American Legion. At
least 1000 men and women are eX-
pected to attend the sessions of the

the system worked out by the COM
mittee on arrangements.
A thorough canvass of the town has
been made for the purpose of secur-
ing an accurate listing of all resi-
dences where visitors may find ac-

modations will also be supplied those
desiring life in the open.
Official headquarters will be at the
Commercial hotel and the convention
sessions will be held at the Flagstaff
opera house, the largest hall central
ly located. All delegates are urged to
register at once upon arrival and a
record will be kept of the lodging adj
dress for the benefit of buddies seek
ing to renew old friendships.
Citizens Of Flagstaff are taking an
active interest in plans for the big
gathering and no pains will be spared
to show the visitors good time. Elab-
crate arrangements have been made
for securing an artistic decorative eff
feet by bedecking the little city with
pine boughs, intertwined with the nat
ional colors.
The entertainment program includes
a dance the first night of the conven-
tion. The second night will be de-
voted to banquet to be followed by

gram will hold the boards. Band mu-
sic and fireworks will fill in any lag
ging minutes and as a grand climax,
Thursday, June ID, following the close
of the business sessions will be OBJ
served as Grand Canyon day, on which
the city's guests will be whisked away
in automobiles for d 75-mile spin to
the brink of the Grand Canyon, re-
turning on the evening of the same
day.
The railroads have granted low
rate of an even one fare for the round
trip from any point in Arizona, and
all who make the trip to Flagstaff,
whether members of the Legion or
not, will be entitled to this rate, ac-
cording to state headquarters Of the
Legion.

OLD LYMAN DAM PROJECT
AGAIN. BEFORE LEGISLATURE

1t has been found necessary for the
lection of the Lyman dam, near st.
state to spend $1,000 more for pro-
Johns, a structure into which about
100000 of state money already has
gone. This action followed legislative
committee investigation which found
much to deplore in the character of
engineering and in the manner in
which the state, by successive stages,
had been compelled to spend money in
order to protect its investment.
The state has a mortgage on about
5000 acres of land and the attorney
general is looking into legal features
in connection with the probable ne
cessity of foreclosure and of state as
sumption of ownership.
Some Of the mortgaged lands al
ready have been deserted and the state
loan board may take over possession
and then attempt to find leasers or
purchasers.
The project, generally termed the
states "white elephant" often is re-
ferred to by those who are in opposi-
tion to the plans that have been made
for the state to erect dam in the
Colorado river channel and to generate
electric power therefrom.

HERE'S A NEW SNAKE STORY; +
REPTILE TRAVELS BY AUTO

An unusual story had its denoue-
ment yesterday afternoon in front of
the Dominion hotel. A physician, said
to be DR.. Whitaker, of Phoenix, EN-
route to the Sierra Anchas, parked his
car on Broad street, Globe, for few
minutes.
A reptile about four feet long of
the variety known to small boys as
the king snake was seen to slowly un-
coil from the automobile and make
its way across the pavement to the
other side of the street. When it
reached the sidewalk passer-by cap
tured it, placed it in a box and pre-
sented it to Al Leissner of the Nu-
Way grocery.
Just then the owner of the car and
several persons who accompanied him
on the trip from Phoenix to Globe by
way of Tucson and beyond returned
and his attention being attracted by
the presence of the crowd investigated
as to the cause and remarked: "Why,
you've got my snake!"
The explanation which followed was
that the members of the party had
attempted to kill the snake on the
highway near Tucson but that it mys-
teriously eluded them, apparently dis
appearing in the interior of the auto
machinery. Since the first encounter
with the snake the auto has Travelled
200 miles and was even repaired at a
garage at Tucson.
The snake and the automobile party
are now en- route to the Sierra Anchas.

MARTINEZ NARROWLY
ESCAPES GALLONS

A legal battle participated in by the
state of Arizona and representatives
of the Mexican government and which
probably will be carried eventually to
the United States supreme court,
looms as the result of a stay of exeeu-
tion which saved Manual Martinez
from hanging for the murder of ].
Frank Pearson, victim of the Ruby
bandit raid of 1921.
The stay of execution, in the form
of writ of habeas corpus, was grant
ed late Thursday by Superior Judge
Steve H. Abbey on application of Rob
erto Quiros, Mexicsn consul in Phoe-
nix. The application raises legal ques-
tions affecting the jurisdiction of the
superior court Of Santa Cruz county
which sentenced Martinez.
Warden r. B. Sims. who was served
with the writ at the state peniten-
tiary at Florence, halted the execution
against the advice of John w. Muir
ply, state attorney general.

40, THE POOR INDIAN" NOT
SO POOR, AFTER ALL, SAY
THE OFFICIAL STATISTICS

Estimates of the total valuation Of
property owned by the American In
dians made by the department of the
interior fix the amount at $1,000
100000.
These figures include forest lands,
mineral and oil rights, lands allotted
and reserved, live stock and other
property Of the Indians under the
guardianship of the government.
Further statistics show that there
is S25, 900 900 in the United States
treasury at the present time repre-
senting funds belonging to the var
ious tribes Of Indians and that individ-
ual Indian funds to the extent of $780,
1000 are deposited in private banks
in Western states. Both of these
funds bear interest ranging from a to
per cent.

NET EARNINGS OF SANTA FE
PROMISE S15.OOe PER SHARE

The earning outlook of the Atchison,
Topeka and Santa F'e for 1923 is
brighter than it has been for years.
Estimates based on its income during
the first quarter Of the year place its
earnings for the twelve months in the
neighborhood of SIS a share. The
heaviest balance the road has shown
was in the federal control year of
1919, when it showed $685. a share.
Net operating income for the first
three months Of the year was $11 ,479,-
$40. Figuring this as one-fourth of
the years total net income the latter
could amount to $45,919,360, which
would give return of $15.01 per
share. AS matter of fact, taking
seasonal variations into account, the
total should reach a higher figure
than this.

FIRE; PHARMACY DESTROYED

The Central Pharmacy, one Of the
largest and best equipped drug stores
in Phoenix, was almost completely
wrecked Sunday afternoon by a spec
tacuIar fire that for time threatened
the destruction of the Goodrich build
ing at Central avenue and Washing
ton street. The damage is estimated
at between $4,000 and $4,000, only
partially covered by insurance.
Starting with the explosion Of an
automatic gas heater in the basement,
the flame spread rapidly and soon had
enguIfed the storage department,
where great quantities Of chemicals
were housed, and the Photographic de-
velopment rooms. The inflammable
character of materials in these de-
partments made combat of the fire
almost useless.

THINK OFFICERS
MADE REAL CATCH
MAY CONNECT SUPPOSED YEGGS
UP WITH BIG ROBBERIES-IN-
TEREST THROUGHOUT WEST.

Accommodating evidence adds to the
belief that the two young boys who
are responsible for the arrest of the
two supposed yeggs Sunday evening
did a real service. A telegram re-
ceived by r. w. Morris, Northern Paci-
fic agent at this place, from Joel
Hinman, special Northern Pacific de-
tective, states that the older of the
two men, who gave his name as Nc
Donald, is a noted bank robber and a
more or less desperate character. His
record is being investigated further,
as is that of his companion.
The sheriff's office at this place has
information which leads to the be-
lief that the name of the man claim
ing to be Mcdonald is Jackson
Thomas, and that the man who claims
to be Dan Sullivan formerly gave
the name of James Smith. These of
course, may also be aliases used by
the men,
Sheriff ]. J. Keane stated to The
Star-Mirror that inquiries regarding
the two men are coming in from all
parts of the northwest, officers MAX
ing an effort to connect them up with
various operations, principally bank
burglaries, and expressed the belief
that there is no question that they
have unSavory records and have here
tofOre served prison sentences.

Monday by deputy sheriff from Nez
