NEW ARMS PARLEY
PREPARATIONS ARE
ASKEDBY COOLIDGE
President Instructs Kellogg
to Lay Groundwork
for Conference.
AIRCRAFT LIMITATION
MAY BE MAIN ISSUE
Thorough Study of Problems to Be
Made Before Foreign Nations
Are Asked to Meet.

President Coolidge has suggested
to Secretary Kellogg that certain
definite preliminary steps be taken
toward laying the groundwork for a
new naval limitation conference.
The work, as the President sees 1T,
divides itself into two phases, the
first being determination OF the tech
nical aspects of naval limitation that
remain to be concluded; the second
the sounding out informally OF the
sentiment of the other powers as TO
the desira bility of calling a new con-
ference.
There are many technical matters
TO be considered before proposals for
limitation of cruiser and submarine
tonnage can be formulated or before
the Washington Government itself
can Judge what smight be accomp-
lished now with regard to aircraft
limitation.
Aircraft Phnse Important.
The aircraft phase of any new con-
ference promises to be of chief I'M
portance in view of Developments
since the original naval Limitation
treaty was signed. That treaty hxeo
a limitation upon airplane carrier
tonnage for each signatory power,
but left the question of what aircraft
may be carried on capital ships or
upon ships of less thar 10000 tons
displacement entirely open.
Conversations thus far between the
President and the Secretary of State
have been limited to this general out
line of the situation. Mr.. Kellogg
has not yet had opportunity to take
UP with naval experts, as he expects
10 do the practical possibilities OF a
further limitation.
So far as known the Secretary has
had no new informal conversations
in other capitals relative to tie con-
ference plans.
VIII Confer with Experts.
1t is assumed Mr.. Kellogg will talk
matters over with naval experts be-
fore any more definite conversations
are initiated abroad in order that the
governments to be consulted can
have more complete understanding of
what the Washington Government
thinks it might be able to accomplish
through a supplemental conference.
Some of the Presidents advisers
believe the subject of aircraft limi-
tation affords an opportunity for con-
structive work, despite the fact that
the original conference was unable
TO find a formula that would not in
hibit in all countries the development
of commercial aviation There has
been no indication, however, of the
methods by which it is now thought
possible to limit aircraft without en-
countering the same objections that
prevented the original conference
pre- from dealing with that subject.

TOXIC, March 24-Notwithstandin

Washington and London, the news
papers vary on the reported under
standing between America and Brit
ain over the agenda of another arms
conference.
The Chugai, which it is generally
believed voices a strong Seiyukai sem
timent, points out the American naval
maneuvering in the Pacific for a num-
Der of months, while Britain is build
ing an enormous naval base at the
western entrance of the China Sea.
1t also asserts that Austen Chamber

House of Commons regarding an un-
derstandng between Britain and
America concerning Singapore.
The Yamato, a chronic firebrand'
among Toxic newspapers, supports
using considerably stronger arms
especially directed against selfish
Britain" and asserts that Britain's
and Americas sole object is limita-
tion of Japan in the Pacific. In this
connection J. Wickham Steed's New
York speech, asserting that war on
the Pacific was inevitable, was cabled
at length and featured in the news
papers.
The Nichi Nichi points out that this
dire prediction, broadcast by Brit

leading American newspapers, natu-
rally arouses suspicion, II not convic-
tion, among the Japanese thinking
people that not only an understand

Daily News.
= HAVANA, Cuba, March 24.-Smug-
Cling, immigrants into the United
States is becoming a thriving industry
in Cuba. Havana Is the base of op-
erations and the west coast of Florida
is the principal dumping ground for
contraband human cargoes. From
here the business of Systematically
defeating tia purpose of American
immigration restrictions is carried on
extensively through agents in various
foreign countries and in the United
States
A conservative estimate places the
number of foreigners who have thus
clandestinely entered the United States
as 1000 during the last ~ months.
The number legally admitted through
the United States consulate has been
slightly less than 1900 since the new
immigration law became effective,
July l, 1924. 1t appears, therefore,
that for every one who goes through
on a properly Vised passport TWO get
in by stealth.
1t is manifest that those who sneak
in are doubly undesirable, because
their introduction into the States Is
predicated upon bribery in all cases,
upon perjury in many cases and in
variably with knowledge that they
are violating the laws Of the land
they are entering.
Pay $3.50 to $500 Per Head.
There are no fewer than 10 recog-
nzed methods of entering the States,
either surreptitiously or by brazen
fraud. These may be enumerated as
follows:
1. Contracting with agencies that
have headquarters in Havana or
Florida and representatives abroad
who guarantee" for from $3.50 to
$500 to deliver aliens safely on United
States soil.
9 Shipping with rumrunners who
smuggle foreigners across the Florida
straits is a sideline of the bootleggin 6
business.
8. Trusting to steamship petty Of
ficers or crews to be carried as stow
aways.
4. Actually slowing away on ves-
sells clearing for America and swim
ming ashore when port is reached, or
else mingling with gangs of steve
| dores who board to unload freight,
and thus walking Off unnoticed.
s. Signing on as seamen on Amer
! lean ships, being classed as emer-
| gency crew members signed after
| clearing" and claiming the legal
| status Of American seamen on the
| second voyage to a port under the
! United States flag.
6. Presenting at the consulate a
/ purchased or borrowed passport OF
| some one entitled to enter the States
| together with falsified supporting
/ documents.
Z. Going through as students

| tuition in America.

DEER INCREASE
ON SOUTH SIDE
OF THE CANYON

An interesting development m
wild animal conditions in the Grand
Canyon National park has been the
increasing number of deer rang
ing on the south rim, it was an
nounced at the department of the
interior today. Seldom seen on the
south rim in the past, recently sew
eral herds have been observed
there, and there is every indica-
ton that they are increasing as a
| result of the protection afforded
them by park authorities.
AS usual, deer are plentiful on
the north rim, and beyond in the
Kaibab forest, and are in splendid
condition. They are expected to
winter successfully during the
present season.
The drought early in the season
which caused the cattlemen seri-
Gus worry did not appear to affect
the deer to any extent. When one
source of water dried up, they al
ways seemed to be able to find an
other supply. A tank built by park
authorities for the use of the wild
animals was one of the few in that
vicinity which held water during
the entire year. Late summer rains
resulted in a good growth of forage
and the winter range is in good
shape. On the north rim the best
winter range conditions in years
are reported.
A considerable increase in noun
tain sheep has been noted at the
Grand Canyon Investigation re-
Gently disclosed the fact that a
small spring under the Coconino
Wall of the canyon is used regu-
larly by these animals. Meeting
these sheep along the trails into
| the canyon is an interesting ex-
perience for park visitors.

Big Mail And Express
Causes Double Trains

Prosperity of the country, the
excessive shipments of mail and
express this Christmas season are
causing the Santa Fe to run trains
in two sections that rarely achieve
that distinction. Number Z, the
fast mail, has been run in two sec
tions for more than a week, the
first time it has been necessary for
more than a year. Number %, east
bound, also has been doubled for
several days. Number 3, the west
bound Limited has been forced to
three and more sections.
Passenger travel is considerably
increased. and the amounts of mail
and express are unprecedented.
Trainmen report that several car
loads of Salt River Valley oranges
and grapefruit are being sent out
daily over the country in individual
packages, constituting large item
of the Christmas rush, the loading
platform at Ashfork, the junction
point of the Santa Fe from the
south, looking like a great market,
more than twenty men being en-
ployed to load. the boxes on the
main line trains.
The new schedule of the Santa
Fe is proving popular with eastern
and California people, the system
being patronized at present more
than ever before by trancontinental
travellers.

NEW PACT MAY
BE R A Titled
BY LESS Than
SEVEN STATES

A new Swing-Johnson bill to gov
ern construction of the Boulder
Canyon project on the lower Colo
RADIO river was introduced in the
senate this week by Senator John
son and in the House by Repres-
entative Swing, both republicans,
California.
Authors of the measure, recog-
nizing the apparent deadlock in eff
forts to obtain agreement between
the seven basin states for a divi-
sion of the rivers waters between
the upper and lower basins, have
written into the new bill provisions
which, they believe, will afford ade-
quate protection of the rights OF
the various states so that the Boul-
der Canyon project might not have
to wait until the Colorado river
compact is ratified by all seven
states.
This section, which is one of a
few additions to the old Swing
Johnson bill of last session, would
provide for government ratification
Of terms Of the compact, the instru-
ment to become effective ratifica-
tion Of six of the seven states.
Users of water benefited by con-
struction of the Boulder dam would
under terms of the measure, be
bound by the terms of the compact,
a provision which in the view of
Senator Johnson, would give to
states Of the upper basin the pro-
lection they desire of their rights
to fair share of the rivers waters.
The measure would appropriate
$70,000,000 for construction of the
American canal to the Imperial VAL
ley of California.
Provision is made also, however,
for repayment of $20,OO0,OO0 to the
government from sale of power
rights and other benefits of the pro-
ject, which would bring the cost
| to the government to $50,000,000.
Under provisions of the bill, the
secretary of the interior would be
empowered to receive applications
for right to use for the generation
of electric power portions of the
water discharged from the reser-
voir. Leases would be limited to
fifty years. Title to canals and in
! cidental works would remain with
the government until it should have
| been reimbursed.
The measure would provide that
no part of the cost of construction
should be charged against lands to
be irrigated
The purposes Of the proposed
dam and reservoir, as set forth in
the bill, would be: (D For river
regulation and flood control, (2) for
| domestic and irrigation use, and
I 60 for power.
The Swing-Johnson bill was the
subject of extended hearings in
committees of the senate and house
last session, but neither committee

Prescott Men Killed In
Automobile Accident at
The Arizona Capitol

H. c. Luhrs and A V. Waggoner
of Prescott, both elderly, were kill
ed almost instantly last Thursday
afternoon, when an automobile in
which they were riding was struck
by an inbound Grand avenue street
car and utterly demolished. The
accident occurred at Fifteenth and
Grand avenues.
The automobile, a small touring
~car owned and driven by Luhrs,
was struck just as it reached the
middle of the car tracks after leav-
ing an auto camp on the north side
of Grand avenue. The street car
rolled the automobile completely
over, forcing the front trucks of
the tram from their moOrings and
pushing them under the car dis
tance of several feet.
