couRT REFUSES TO DROP CASE

YUMA, April 26-Efforts of coun-
ell in superior court today to have
the bigamy charge against William
Judson Johnson of New King Mine
in Yuma county dismissed met with
failure when Judge Dudley Windes OF
Maricopa county, presiding in the
case, dismissed the contention as un-
tenable that bigamy can exist in this
state only when the bigamous mar
riage is consummated within the
state. Judge Windes was brought
into the case when affidavits of bias
and prejudice were filed against Judge
Fred L, Ingraham. The Johnson's
domestic troubles have been in the
legal limelight for more than a year.
Divorce proceedings, instituted by all
legged wife number one, are pending

BELGIUM DEBT
PACT APPROVED
IN The SENATE

WASHINGTON, April 26.--As the
negotiations for the settlement of
Frances four billion dollar war debt
proceeded today, the senate gave
overwhelming approval of the ar
rangement with Belgium for the fund
ing of it's s417,7SO, 900 war obligation.
The American debt commission found
some of the major provisions of the
French proposal unacceptable and di
rected Chairman Mellon to communi-
cate this decision to Ambassador Ber-
enger who is representing France in
the renewed negotiations.
Meanwhile, the commission will
meet tomorrow with the commission
from Jugo-Slavia in an effort to
reach an agreement on the debt of
that country. The negotiations will
be taken up where they left off last
fall and the Americans are hopeful of
an early settlement.
Senate action on the Belgian agree
ment came after brief. but brisk
debate during which Senators Reed,
democrat, Missouri; Howell republic
can, Nebraska, and others insisted
that the debt commission was sad

nations. The vote for approval was
SIS to 20, an even larger margin than
the italian agreement received last
week.
The vote of the senate completed
legislative action in both countries
and the agreement will come into full
force as soon as President Coolidge
has signed the bill of ratification.
The temporary stumbling blocks in
the French negotiations include the
proposal that Franch pay only $685.

FRESH INSTRUCTIONS.

PARIS, April 26.-The French gov
ernment is likely to send fresh in
structions to Ambassador Berenger,
regarding the settlement of the French
war debt to the United States. This
developed tonight after the finance
committee of the chamber heard Pre-
mier BRAND and M. Peret, the fl
nance minister, describe the status Of
the negotiations at Washington and
London. Several of the committee
urged the insertion in the debt ac.

tanned in the Dawes reparation plan
concerning transfer, in order to pre-
vent Frances payment to Great Brit
ain and the United States having an
unfavorable effect on her exchange

dissented, denying that this constitutes
legal decision. He pronounced the
proceedings null and void and not
binding on the United States
Attorney H. A. Basham, advisor to
the American embassy, filed formal
motion for the re-opening of the case
and a new hearing. Sefior Octavio adl
mitted the motion, subject to future
definite ruling.
The presiding judge designated
Tampico, as the place for the next
meeting and the date September 2.
Judge Perry said he did not know
whether he would attend this meet
ing; his action would depend upon
further developments and the attitude
of the state department at Washing
ton.
Senior Octavio and Judge Perry met
today for the first time since the
breakup of the commissions meeting
last March. When Chairman Octavio
called the meeting to order he imme-
diately proposed that the commits
sioners enter into a secret session.
'T was not consulted before you
reached your decision and I am cer-
tainly not going into a conference

Judge Perry said.

with all due respect to you, it is
a little late to invite me to a private
conference, after the minutes are all
written up deciding this matter in
favor of Mexico" Judge Perry re-
sponded.

Says Young Bob
Sen. La Toilette Predicts a Vic
tory for the Big Bread
Trust

/ Washington, d. C.-The gov
ernment's suit against the bread
trust will fail, predicts Senator
la Toilette.
\ The government, he said, should en-
join the "Big Three" corporations
from merging. He points out that no
attempt has been made to require the
defendants to abandon their control
of these corporations-the Ward, Con-
tinental and General Baking corpora
tion.
"Either of these three is big enough
to give Mr.. Ward full opportunity to
develop any possible economies by
large scale production" said Senator
La Toilette.
"The effect of the present proceed
ings, even if the court grants every
thing that the government now asks,
will be to leave Ward-the bread king
in undisputed control of the bread
industry. He will be able to issue or
ders to each of the baking corpora
tions which he now controls, and of
which the government does not seek
to deprive him, as effectively as if
they were merged into single trust.
II sincerely hope, therefore, that
the department of justice will speed
lily order its petition amended to cure
this defect"

Solicitor Kicks
s.S
WITH
APOLOGIES

The "star" event at the ath-
letic exhibition last week-the
wrestling match between Kilonis
and Alexander-became so ut
terly rotten and unsportsman-
like, that the Mayor, it is said
urged to it by the City Solicitor,
wiped it off the map before the
official ending.
The referee stood for a whole
lot of rule violations, but when
the contestants resOrted to kick
ing, gouging, Knockout blows,
throwing chairs, and the lord
knows what, his Honor stepped
in and put a quietus on the fias-
co.
The Solicitor, in speaking of
the affair, classes it as an old
time rough-and-tumble alley
fight which will not be repeat
ed, for should these two men at
tempt to repeat the dose, he him
self, if necessary, will file an
affidavit and have them arrest
ed for assault and battery.
With this regretable excep-
ton, everything went off in fine
shape, all events were clean and
straight; none of the contest
ants resorted the underhand
dirty tactics employed by the
two wrestlers who deserve to be
barred from the privilege of ap-
pearing before first-class re-
spectacle audiences such as as
semble at the athletic contests
presented in the Auditorium.

age of the convict's earnings to 90 to

The road work should be done by

1T is inconceivable that a prisoner

to give the best service of which he

lationship.
"Organized labor supported the an
thracite miners through this indus
trial struggle. Labor contributed
many thousands of dollars to be used
in supplying food, clothing and shell

"We are proud of the solidarity and
loyalty to the cause of organized labor
manifested by the striking mine
workers and we are gratified at the
devotion, wisdom and sagacity dis
played by officers of the United Mine
Workers and the scale committee of
the anthracite miners during the ne

which will be established in the an
