Congress will await the recon-
mendations of President Cool

sion before acting on proposed
Z gislation, in the interest Of the
farming industry, Senator Arthur
Gapper Of Kansas, leader of the
Senate farm bloc, announced to-
day in a statement to Interna-
tional News Service.
Despite the desire Of. the Ad-
ministration to enact constructive
and remedial farm legislation
without delay, Senator Capper is

ment. Robert d. Carey, chairman
of the President s, commission, told
international News Service in q
telegram from his home at Carey
hurst. Wyo.. that a thorough in
yeStigation" of the agricultural
situation would be necessary, ac-
cording to his view, before definite
recommendation could be made
to Congress.
Carey said that he could not
make any predictions as to the
plans of the commission in advance
Of its first meeting next week.
Before such Investigations are
made" he added, II would hesitate
to express any opinions regarding
either the foreign situation or
needed legislation as a more COM
prehensive study might change
materially any views may have
at the present time.
II will say that / think much
beneficial legislation has already
been enacted, but in spite of this
legislation the farm situation is
one of the greatest problems that
we have in this country.
IF the commission is success
full in helping the situation it will
have accomplished much and no
one realizes more than I do the
Importance of the work that we
are now undertaking.
Favors Transportation Study
While awaiting the report of the
Carey commission, Senator Capper
suggested that Congress should
proceed with a study of the trans
portation problem in it's relations
to agriculture with view to work
ing out more equitable system of
freight rates on farm products.

VALLEYS
PROVIDE GRAZING
FOR 10000 SHEEP

Approximately 10000 sheep have
arrived in the southern valleys of the
state or are now grazing in the foot
hill districts on their annual south
ward movement, according to H. B.
Embach, secretary of the Arizona
Wool Growers association. Mr. EN-
bach says that there is still a large
number of sheep in the north, which
will not move south until after the
first OF the year.
The late movement this year, ac-
cording to Mr. Embach, is caused by
the lack of feed in the foothill region,
where there has been an extended
drought Mr. Embach says that the
sheep which are still in the north will
probably be shipped south by rail un-
less there is material increase in
the feed in the foothill regions.
A. A. Johns, president of the asso-
citation, reports that light rains have
been visiting the northern section of
the state, although no appreciable
amount of change is noticeable in the
range conditions. Mr. Johns says that
a normal precipitation within the next
few weeks will probably result in an
increase in the amount of feed in the
foothill regions and many of the
sheepmen will drive their flocks
through after January 1.

BURKE DECLARES INDIAN
REPLACING MEXICANS

Increasing numbers of Indians are
flocking from western reservations to
the southwest "where a white welcome
awaits them," and where they are
likely to displace much of the Mexi-
can labor, Indian Commissioner Char
les H. Burke declared in his annual
report.
Efforts of the Indian bureaus en-
ployment supervisor have been CEN
tered during the year largely in the
Salt River valley of Arizona where
irrigated lands call for from 5000 to
1000 laborers in cotton production,
Burke said.
Indians, in some respects are the
best cotton pickers and are likely to
displace much of the Mexican labor
of this region" he added. "There are
even indications that many of them
will purchase small tracts of the cot
ton land, although at high figure
and establish permanent homes in the
valley where a white welcome awaits
them and public schools will be open
to their children"

HOUSE COMMITTEE TOLD
BRIGHT ANGEL DANGERS

A. B. Cammerer of the national
park service, before the subcommittee
of the house committee ON appropria-
tions in charge Of the interior depart
ment appropriation bill, said last week
of trails into the Grand Canyon that
in the original budget 100000 was set
aside for the purchase of Bright
Angel trail from the county, and an
additional 100000 was assigned to-
ward the construction of an approach
road to Grand Canyon. Upon receiv-
ing word that the Coconino referen-
dunn had been adverse to the sale of
the trail, the fact was communicated
to the budget director and the $780,
900 item was stricken out, according
to the explanation offered the COM
mittee.
item, however, Mr.. Cammerer testi-
fled that the Coconino election result
ed in a decision on the part of the de-
partnent and the park service that
further negotiations for the acquiring
Of the Bright Angel trail were useless.
Accordingly, upon the recommended
ton of the director of the national
parks, the interior department direct
ed the construction of new trail
that had been located three or four
years ago off Yaqui point
The head of this trail, according to
Mr. Cammerer, is two and half miles
by road from Ell Tovar hotel. The
proposed trail, he said, would be easy
of construction and provide a better
means of descent than that of the
Bright Angel, leading direct to the
bridge crossing the Colorado river at
the bottom of the canyon, and the
Indian Gardens, a famous resting spot
on the Bright Angel trail, can be
reached by a slight detour and added
"The trail will go from Yaqui point
to the Tonto (plateau) and Of course
the money will also be used, after this
trail has been completed as unit, in
rebuilding the trail from the terminus
of the new trail on the Tonto, down
past the Tipoff to the bridge, which
means correction in parts, and up the
north side, making one complete, fine
trail from the north side to the south
side"
In other parts of the proceedings
before the committee it was brought
out that the Bright Angel trail is un-
usually dangerous, especially at GER
tain seasons, where shadowed portions
are covered with ice. The new trail
would be built on a sunny slope, and
would be devoid Of precipitous grades,
thus providing more comfortable de-
scent for tourists, it was testified.

COCONINO ENTITLED TO
HELP FROM THE STATE

We understand a request will be
made at the coming legislature for a
small appropriation for Coconino
county, the money to be used to place
the roads around Lake Mary and
Mormon lake in good condition
Ordinarily we would not favor such
a proposition on the theory that a
county should raise it's own funds for
it's county roads, but in this particular
instance there are other factors to be
considered.
Coconino county is rapidly becom-
trail and southern Arizona. Last sum-
mer at one time there were over 500
people from Maricopa county alone,
camped along Lake Mary and Mormon
lake. Any state money spent on the
Ccconino county roads particularly
those in the lake region, is an invest
ment that will benefit the man from
Cochise, Santa Cruz, Maricopa or Gila
counties just as much as it benefits
the resident of Coconino.
Coconino is the largest county in
area in Arizona-in fact is is the sec
ond largest in the United States
while its population and taxable
wealth are small. There is but one
person for every two square miles in
the county, and of the $4,000 square
miles in the county, 80 per cent is
owned by the government in Indian
reservations, forest reserves and the
Grand Canyon national park leaving
but IL per cent of the property of the
county to bear the entire burden of
taxation.
There are now 400 miles of county
roads in Coconmo and it is all the
county can do to maintain this mile
age without adding to it. With a
small appropriation from the state
the roads around the two lakes can be
put in splendid shape for the people
Of all Arizona. We believe this is a
worthy proposition and hope the legis-
lators from southern and central Ari-
zona will look upon it with favor when
the measure is before them.-Dun-
bars Weekly.

PHOENIX VOTES SCHOOL
BONDS OF $4,000

Maricopa County School District No.
/ on Friday gave it's approval to a
grade school bond issue of $650,OO0
by vote Of 1868 to 101.
The proceeds of the issue, accord
ing to Professor John D. Loper, city
superintendent of schools, will be
utilized to build more schools and to
increase facilities in the city schools
already established in the district en-
bracing Phoenix. Congestion in the
schools, resulting from overcrowded
conditions attendant upon the in
creased population of the city, makes
enlargement of school facilities inn
perative.

ANNUAL ASSESSORS
CONFERENCE IN PHOE-
NIX DECEMBER 10

The Arizona tax commission is com

conference with county tax assessors
in the state, which will open in Phoe-
nix, December IS. The conference
probably will be one of the most i'm
portant held in several years.
Among other matters to come up
will be the setting of tentative valua-
tions on livestock, irrigated land and
personal property, and the deciding
Of the basis to be used in assessing
motor vehicles. Although valuations
for the approaching year may vary
from those fixed for 1924 taxation, it
is not expected that radical changes
will be made.

WARDEN SIMS ARRESTED
BECAUSE HEADS MEN HUNG
GONE; HUNT SAYS 0. X.

r. B. Sims, warden of the state
prison was arrested at Florence Fri
day after two complaints had been
filled charging him with aiding, abet-
| ing and causing the mutilation of the
dead bodies Of two men who were exc
cuted at the prison and later buried in
the cemetery.
The sensational charges were sworn
to by Mrs C. E. Howard, whose hus-
band is now serving a sentence in the
state prison. Mrs. Howard was ar
rested several months ago for carry
ing concealed weapons into the state
prison but was released after long
legal battle.
ut is merely spite work" the war
den said. 'The charges are without
foundation" he continued, "and were
trumped up to get even for some fam
cied wrong, for there is no other foun-
dation for them"
The complaint alleges that Sims did
"wilfully and unlawfully aid and abet
and cause the dead body of human
being, towit, Paul V. Hadley, to be
mutilated by removing the head and
did aid, abet and cause the head of
the said dead body of a human being
towit, Paul V. Hadley, to be removed
from the place where the same had
been buried without authority of law"
The second complaint is similar ex-
cept that the name of Theodore West
is substituted. Both men were exc
cuted within the past two years.
Sims was released on his own recog-
milton to appear for preliminary ex
animation on December n
George w. P. Hunt on Saturday an
nounced that the heads from the bodies
of Paul V. Hadley and Theodore West,
who were executed at the state penin-
tentiary at Florence, were used for
scientific purposes, but denied that
Warden Sims had violated any law in
allowing their use. The governor has
report on the skulls for the Carnegie
Institute, he said.
The skulls of Paul V. Hadley and
Theodore West, hanged for murder in
the Arizona state prison at Florence,
are at present scientific exhibits in
the museum of the Carnegie institute
in Philadelphia, according to a state
nlent by Sims on Monday.
Examination of the West skull by
the scientists without knowledge of
the criminals record or identity, re-
suited in their opinion, as expressed
in the report that it was quite pos
sible the subject had been an asylum
inmate and had been insane, accord
ing to the warden. This opinion,
said Sims, conceded with the facts,
West having actually at one time
been an inmate of an insane asylum.
Findings in the Hadley case were
equally striking, said Warden Sims,
the scientists reporting that the skull
was unusually well developed and
might easily be that Of a prominent
statesman, or one active in affairs of
government.
The West skull, due to the striking
agreement between the findings and
the record of the subject, has been
used as the subject of lectures in New
Jersey and through the east and is
considered valuable contribution to
science, said Mr.. Sims.
Both skulls are now on exhibit IN
the institute museum and are ldentl-
fled at all times only by numbers, In
order to avert embarrassment ever
coming to relatives or friends OF
either man, the warden declared.
