HUNT REFUSES TO LET U.S..
HANG INDIAN AT THE PEN

Federal officials were denied by
state officials authority asked to hang
Dixon Sujynamie, Indian convicted of
murder in the United States district
court at Prescott, on the scaffold of
the state prison at Florence. Sujy-
mamie was convicted and sentenced to
hang for the murder of a taxi driver.
As result, the board of super
lvisors of Yavapai county have been
asked by the U. S. marshal to arrange
scaffold in Prescott for the execu-
tion of the Indian. Sujynamie was
convicted in Prescott before Federal
Judge Fred G. Jacobs Of first degree
murder and was given the death pen
atty. The date of the execution has
not yet been set. The killing occurred
on a government military reservation.
Following the conviction of Sujy-
mamie, United States Marshal George
A. Mauk applied to Governor Hunt for
permission to hang the Indian on the
state scaffold at Florence, offering to
pay the state rental for the privi-
llege. The governor informed Mr..
Mauk that the matter would have to
be taken up through Warden Robert
B. Sims of the prison.
Through H. S. McCluskey, secre-
tary to the governor, the matter was
proposed to Mr.. Sims and the latter
flatly refused to permit the hanging
in the prison. He gave as his chief
reason, the fact that an execution at
the prison upsets the morale of the
prisoners for 10 days prior to the
hanging and for several days after
the execution has taken place. Dur
ing that period, he declared, it is hard
to discipline the prisoners.

which fell in Holbrcok last week, the
range should improve materially.

he said, will begin, as soon as the

SUSTAINING, OTIS CLAIMS

tural commission Of the American
Bankers association who came to
Tucson to attend joint meeting of
the agricultural commission of the
Arizona Bankers association and rep

TAX CONFERENCE CALLED OFF
DUE TO A CUT IN THE FUND

Phoenix, July 10.-For the first time
in IL years, there will be no state tax
conference this year. Lack of funds
was the reason offered by members
of the Arizona tax commission this
morning for the adoption of a reso-
luton concelling the usual gettogether
of county and state tax authorities,
held the last week in July.
The tax conference idea was insti-
.tuted in the summer of 1913, as a
practical means of ironing out differ
ences between counties and county Of
ficials and of securing uniformity in
taxation.
The Seventh legislature cut five
hundred dollars from the allowance of
the state board of equalization and
$1,000 was saved by cutting off steno-
graphic hire, which funds previously
had been applied to the holding of the
conferences.
