SEN CAMERON CITED FOR
CONTEMPT BY u. S. COURT
CANYON CLAIMS

that there had been no supporting
mineral discoveries and that the
claims were located and used for pur-
poses not contemplated by the Min
eral Land Law After full hearing
in the local land office, in which Sena-
tor Cameron participated his appli-
cation for patents was rejected. The
question later was placed before the
Commissioner of the General Land
Office, who concluded that the claims
were not valuable for mining pur-
poses and therefore We're invalid. The
controversy then was taken before the
Secretary of the Interior, who rem
dered a decision in which he said,
cit is not pretended that the appli-
cant has as yet discovered any body
of workable ore of commercial value,
nor does the evidence reveal such in
dications and conditions as would
warrants the belief or lead to the con-
clusion that valuable deposits are to
be found
The right of Cameron to continue
possession or exploration was denied
by the Secretary of the Interior, who
held that the land covered remained
part of the Grand Canyon National
Monument, as if such location had
not been attempted. This decision
was adhered to on a motion for re-
view. Notwithstanding, Cameron as
serted an exclusive right of the po-
session and enjoyment of the tract,
as if the lode claim was valid and
he and co-defendants, it is asserted,
continued to occupy and use the
ground for livery and other business

GEORGE SCHRADER KILLED
IN FATAL AUTO ACCIDENT

George Schrader, As years of age
and a baker employed at the Clark
dale bakery, came to a tragic death
last Saturday night when a new
Studebaker car he was driving left
the road about a mile north of
Cottonwood, hurtled the upper
ditch and landed about go feet be-
low the road, right side up with
its front wheels in the water resting
upon the mans body. A companion
who was riding with Schrader was
bruised and cut and for a short time
was unconscious but otherwise un-
hurt.
How the accident occurred could
not be learned. A motorist who
in passing noticed the tracks turn
ing abruptly toward the side of
the eqnbankment was the first to
find the men. The car was smashed
almost to bits, it is said, but had
righted itself and at first no
trace of the driver could be found.
Finally, the rescurers, who gathered
from passing cars, decided to search
in the water and one of them,
Mexican boy, started in to find it.
It was determined at a corners in
quest, held by Judge Robinson Of
Clemenceau, that the man had died
as the result Of drowning but that
he would have been killed in any
event, having suffered deep cash
on his head and another in his side,
which practically cut him in two.
He was employed by Chas. Keller
in Flagstaff as baker for two years,
leaving this spring for Clarkdale.
He was a German and had no known
relatives in this section Of the coun-
try.

Acting under special appointment
as assistant to the Attoney-G General,
made by u. S. Atty.-Gen. Stone, Har-
old Baxter, Phoenix attorney, Satur-
day commenced contempt proceedings
in the United States District Court at
Tuscon against United Senator Ralph
H. Cameron, for alleged failure to
obey the mandate of the Supreme
Court of the United States made
April 10, 1920, in the case of Came
ron, ct al, VS.. the United States.
On the filing of Attorney Bax-
ter's motion, together with support
ing affidavits applying for citation,
United States District Judge Sawteile
signed an order directing Senator
Cameron to appear before his court at
Tucson on September Is, next, and
show cause why he should not be pun
ished for contempt, on account OF
his alleged disobedience of the court s
decree. Senator Cameron is under
stood now to be in Los Angeles.
This contempt proceeding is expect
ed to mark the end of certain 1nin-
ing claim and mill site locations made
on the Bright Angel Trail on the
south side Of the Grand Canyon by
Senator Cameron, beginning in 1902.
Those locations, the Cape Horn mln-
ing claim, on the canyon rim and the
Alder and Willow mill sites, were
made by Cameron after the creation
of the Grand Canyon National Monu-
ment.
When Cameron applied to the Lard
Department for issue to him of pat

FEDERAL COMMITTEE SAYS
THIN OUT DEER TN KAIBAB
FOREST, in THIS COUNTY

Immediate thinning of the great
Kaibab deer herd north of Grand Can
Won in this county will be necessary
If the herd is to be saved from famine
this winter, was the decision reached
by the federal committee which conn
pleted a ten-day deer survey in the
forest on Monday. The decision of
the committee is final and ends
long dispute over the fate Of the deer
herd.
Estimates made by officials of the
federal biological survey place the
number of deer at 10000 with an In
crease of several Thousand each year
Stephen G. Mather, head Of the
national park service, reached V. /.
park where the final conference was
held on Monday in time to urge fed
eral killing of the deer should the
committee find thinning necessary.
He opposed the suggestion that an
open season on deer be permitted.
The forest service, though officials
of the fourth district in which the
Kaibab forest is located, recommend
ed an open season on the deer under
very strict regulations and supervls-
ion.
The committee reached a decision as
to the method of thinning the deer
herd but will submit their recommen-
dations to Secretary Of Agriculture
Wallace before announcing their dec
ision.
Members of the committee repre-
sented the leading organizations OF
sportsmen of the country. Those en-
gagged in the survey were John r.
Burnham, chairman, president OF the
Boone and Crockett club of New York;
T. Gilbert Pearson, president of the
National Audubon society, and L. w.
Tomlinson, secretary of the American
Livestock association. Hal Evarts,
Saturday Evening Post writer and a
member of the committee was unable
to be present.
Members OF the committee, the
national park service and the forest
service are desirous of preserving the
great deer herd as a tourist attrac-
ton. Thus far this summer the deer
have attracted over three thousand
tourists. Each evening in V. I. Park
over thousand deer may be seen
feeding and tourists are able to ap-
proach the herds closely enough to
photograph the deer.
The driest summer in 81 years has
been recorded in the Kaibaib forest
this year and the survey committee
discovered that already the deer have
invaded their winter ranges for food.
Unless the herd is thinned this fall,
the committee and forest service of-
ficiaIs fear that thousands of deer may
starve and that disease threatens the
entire herd.
The deer have been protected in the
game refuge established by Theodore
Roosevelt after his visit to the north
rim of Grand Canyon some years ago.

ed over that, however, as the Chev-
rolet people are striving for a pro-
duetion record and he isn't. Mother

FIRES DURING LAST WEEK

Bad enough, but not nearly so bad
as represented by Arizona and New

LIKE A NEW SHAFT.

Perhaps you have not taken pains to notice it, or you have taken it for granted-the soldiers monument in the center has been cleaned, scraped and polished up, after a summer of work that caused it to be surround ed by unsightly scaffolding.
 It formerly was of dark-com- plexion; today its stone is as white as the original stone from the quar- ry.
 The monument never looked hand somer, even when it was originally constructed. Although it may be the same monument, the setting today Is superior than it was when erected years ago. Indeed. there is scarce ly a monument in the state that has more handsome setting of trees and surrounding grass, yet being in the heart of the city.
 The monument is the heart of the community. It is an impression that visitors most easily carry away with , them. As small monuments go 1t is a model of the sculptor's art. Need- less to say, it is a fitting tribute to the valor Of the boys in blue who left this vicinity at the call of Lin coin to prevent the union from being severed.

FAsCIsT1 DOWNS A REFoR,MR

The Chilean fascist have won notable victory--they have thrown President Alessandri out of office.
 Allesandri was popular presi- dent. He favored certain reforms and at the referendum last spring received an overwhelming victory, his followers also securing control Of the senate where the reactionary ele- ments previously were entrenched'
 Alessandri's program included la. bor legislation, an income tax, high duty on luxury importatio1s, fnan- cial reforms and economies ln the public service and the army. /
 The latter two items irritated the fascist. Under the old methods they had nice easy lucrative jobs. So they performed the coup d-etat on the Italian and Spanish model.

quarry, Happily. the fox has sport Ing chance, and in tho particular case in point the animal---or several of them--won the argument, as none were captured by the brave sports men following the hounds.
 The horses used to engage in this sport likewise get taste of modern civilized sport, being compelled to jump fences and engage in stunts dangerous to life and limb. But the patient and willing animals might be assuaged by the thought - if they can think deep enough-that their riders also are in danger; indeed, three of the women In the gay hunt ing party were thrown" from their mounts, one of them being stunned. The prince, remarkable to relate, was not thrown, although his mount refused to jump one fence, so that he had to ride around it, something that seemed more reasonable in the first place.
 Fox-hunting is "sport" that dates from the ancient days in Eng land when the countryside gentry had to have something exciting as an antidote to the sleepy lives they led. In our modern times 1t is an anachronism and merely survives because antique ideas appear better than any other to some people. For a crowd of well-fed, well-clothed, well-mounted folks to charge behind pack of hounds at one or two un- fortunate and terrified foxes appears to violate every instinct of sports manship.
 If a few unarmed sportsmen were being tracked by fifty hungry wolves the tables would be turned, and the sportsmen would be in the same un- enviable position as the hunted fox. Naturally, our sympathy would go out to the sportsmen. The latter would feel like the hunted fox on Long Island.

THE STATE G. O. P. PLATFORM.

The state platform adopted at the New Haven convention of the Re- publican party of the state was a formal concession to the need for writing one. Hardly anyone nowa- days pays much attention to poiti- cal platforms, relying more upon what the candidates say during the course of campaign, and realizing from experience that platform utter ances are largely bombast.
 A proposal that the Ku Klux Klan be condemned in the platform was negatived by the resolutions commit tee. The state G. Q. P. is no more anxious to interfere with the rights of Kluxism than the national party, and an attempt to name inc hooded organization probably was regarded es effrontery.
 dNDIllE u d 4tuIAa al LOI49hAb'A'l al amendment to permit electors 10 vote on proposed constitutional amendments is a plank designed 10 prevent ratification Of supposedly unpopular amendments by the legis- lature. That this would be the re- suit, however, is by no means cer- tain. If the people of the state this year were to vote upon the proposed child labor amendment it's friends would have every reason to suspect that it stood a bstter chance of be- ing ratified by Connecticut than ii has in the legislature. Legislatures sometimes vote for unpopular acts; but they as often do not vote for popular reforms. It is possible that persons who think it would be hard CT to ratify amendments by popular vots are aeludipg the-tssiyes.

Blue Triangle Girls to
 Have Industrial Night

The industrial committee of the Y. w. c. A. with Miss Gertrude Rogers as chairman, met with mem bers of the Industrial Girls club at the Blue Triangle club room last evening. Reports of the New Brit ain girls who went to Summit Lake industrial camp last June were given. Aida Marley told of the po- litical day at the camp when all the girls were divided into the three parties taking part in the present election. stump speeches and a political parade proclaimed the stand of the different parties on questions of particular interest to industrial workers. An industrial exhibit night was described by Eliz- abeth Kane.
 The girls from the different cities explained their work varying from the making of expensive chinaware in Trenton to the manufacture of shoes in Brockton. This sounded so interesting that it was decided to have an Industrial night in New Britain. Miss Gertrude Rogers will sponsor the project and it is hoped to have every industry in New Britain represented with the girls explaining the different processes that they work on. Such an ex- hibit was successfully worked out by industrial girls In Worcester, Mass, and proved of community interest.
 The many pictures which the girls took at the camp were explained by Alma Dressel after which the girls held an amateur theatrical.
 At the meeting of the industrial committee Mrs. Sterling and Miss Bromley offered to get suppers for the industrial girls twice month at the Y, w. C. A. after swimming on Tuesday evenings. Next Tues. day evening the girls will go in swimming at o'clock after which they will hold a "dog-roast" out. of-doors. Each girl will bring her own supper and coffee will be pro- vided from the clubs funds.
 The first business meeting of the Industrial Girls club will be helt Thursday evening, September IS at the Blue Triangle club room wher nominations for new officers ant committees will take place.
