The chauffeur, scenting danger al

ant, increased his speed. When the

Mussolini escaped without a wound
but eight people in the street lay
bleeding from superficial wounds
Gioviannini was captured immediate

enough to save him from the ven-

This evenings sequel of the abor-
tive attempt was no less dramatic
and vastly more pregnant of meaning
not only to Mussolini and italy, but
to all Europe.
Italy must not be disturbed by
a handful of criminals, declared
the premier. "As I have abolished

said he had eaten hearty breakfast
and lunch and wasn't hungry. Nelson
has said that he Cannot see how ]

eater"
While the two men talked over their
troubles, friends were considering legal
plans to win their freedom in case
County Physician Benson, who exam
ined them yesterday, does not order
their release or their diet modified.
Under the law the county physician
can change the diet or sentence if he
feels a prisoners health is too poor to
stand the diet.
Benson said it would be several days
before he would announce his decision.
r. G. Hunter, Omaha attorney who has
been retained BY ]. H. Chat, brother of
Judge Chatt to aid the men, today said
he would bring injunction proceedings
against the sheriff and county attorney
seeking an order restraining them from
enforcing the bread and water diet if
the county physician did not modify the
sentence.
Clarence Darrow, Chicago criminal
lawyer, had telegraphed Hunter from
Greeley, Colo, expressing. his desire to
aid in fighting the sentences. Darrow
said he has engagements that prevent
his participation in the case before that
time.

GIovIANNINI AN ANARCHIST

ROME, Sept. 11.-Ermete Giovian-
mini, who this morning tried to as
sAssinate Premier Mussolini, is a
pale, tense faced young man with
burning eyes and thick long hair. He
archist of an .individualist type and
to have alone conceived and carried
out the plot.
The young man is thin and Of
medium height, quiet in demeanor,
dressed in modest but neat brown
suit
When first questioned by the po-
lice he would not talk but several
hours of grilling broke down his
reserve and he cried I'm tired.
Wait a bit and I'll tell you every
thing"
Then followed his confession. Clio
vannini said he was born in 1900 in
the town of Castelnuovo Di Garfag-
mana in a district of north Italy
where he early went to work in the
marble quarries. He was called to
the colors in the latter days of the
war and thereafter became an ad-
herent of the communist cause be-
coming one of the most active agi-
tators in his region. The two bombs
which he flung at Mussolini today
he had retained from the days of
his army service.
With the advent of fascism, the
youth went to France, visiting Nice
Marseilles and Paris, taking part in
anti fascist activities. Recently so
his story rms ba conceived the
idea of returning home and eliminatS
ing Mussolini whom he regarded as
an evil genius to his country.

Another verbal attack against his
brother for imposing the sentences was
made by J. H. Chatt today in answer to
Judge Chatt's question at Rochester,
Mimi, asking why his brother had be-
come SO interested in the case.
when a judge will give a man a
sentence for having a little liquor it is
time all men took a hand in the DEAL"
he said. TITS a cinch that you can't
expect much of the Tekamah ministers.
One minister said he would be friend
of Carsons after he had paid his debt
to society If living on bread and
water for 20 days at a stretch is the
kind of payment a minister wants,
Carson won't have any need for his
friendship. He might use him for fu-
neral services"
The defense is considering an appeal
to the supreme court of the United
States.

ROME CELEBRATES ESCAPE

ROME, Sept. 1.-THE remarkable
escape of Premier Mussolini, from
death at the hands of an assassin
this morning evoked demonstration
of popular joy in Rome today par
alleled perhaps only by the Armistice
day celebrations in New York or
London or Paris.
Rome indulged in demonstration
that increased in fervor all day long
and eliminated this evening in mass
ing more than one hundred thou
sand people in Collonna Square.
There is scarcely a window in all
Rome that does not fly a flag, big
or little, the tri-color for Italy or
the black and gold for fascism where
of Mussolini is the supreme and un-
questioned leader.

JURY DISAGREED IN ONLY
CIVIL CASE OF THIS TERM

RANGES DRY BUT STOCK
NOT SUFFERING YET

The hot, dry weather Of the week
has favored vegetation in all irrigated
sections of the state. Cotton has
made more rapid Improvement and
it's condition at present is first class.
Cantaloupes have ripened rapidly and
will soon tax the facilities of har-
vesters and sshippers. Tomatoes are
ripening rapidly also and the crop IS
unusually large; some express snip
ments have been made to other por-
tions Of the state Generally low hu
nidity except in the last few days
when it has been higher, and almost
continuous sunshine has made ideal
weather for alfalfa harvest. In the
Yuma section the alfalfa seed crop
is difficult to estimate as some fields
promise well while others are poor
Cotton is progressing wonderfully in
that section and it's condition is ex
cellent.
Pastures on the foothills AMI at
lower elevations are drying consid-
erably but in most places there is
plenty Of cured feed. Livestock is
generally in good condition, young
animals especially, and large numbers
Of young stuff are going to market
right off the range In cochise coun-
ty, the range is reported to be dry
ing up but there is still plenty of
cured feed.n Livestock has fallen off
considerably but are in normal con-
dition for the season. Both progress
and condition of stock in western
New Mexico are satisfactory. A good
shower in the southwestern portion
of the state during the week was
beneficial to both stock and range.
The lowest temperature in the dis
t1ict during the week was 28 degrees
at Bright Angel, north rim of the
Grand Canyon.

new CITY RESERVOIR
is NOW BEING USED

Water was turned into the new so
million gallon city reservoir the last
of last week, the full flow now going
in there. The other 50-million gallon
reservoir was full
The completion of the new reser-
voi1' takes care of the surplus COM
ing from the springs, which for sew
eral weeks has averaged about a mill
lion gallons day more than the old
reservoir could take. The daily sur
plus Of intake over consumption the
first of this week was only about
half-million gallons a day, but this
was largely because of the great
amount of water used on gardens and
lawns. With the coming of the sum-
mer rains and no farther need for
water for ground sprinkling, very
likely on some days close to a mill
lion and half gallons will be stored
that, were the new reservoir not COM
pleted, would have to go to waste.

PRESCOTT BANK CASES
TO BE TRIED FLAGSTAFF

After but brief arguments before
Judge John j. Sweeney in the super
ior court of Yavapai, an order was
entered removing the trials of r. N.
Fredericks, Morris Goldwater, Paul
Deming, +. G. Norris and G. III. Hind
erer, all indicted in connection with
the failures of the banks, to the su-
peyior court of Coconino county. The
indictments in these cases were re-
turned by the grand jury which was
recently in session.
There are several other cases pend
ing in the superior court there against
Deming, Ross Foreman and Earl
Foreman, and these are not affected
by the order issued. Unless a further
effort is made to secure change Of
venue in these cases as well, it is
presumed that they will go to trial
in the usual way. The directors mem
toned are the only ones who applied
for change.
County Attorney Lyman argued
against the transfer of the cases,
stressing the extra expense that
would necessarily be incurred and
presenting affidavits claiming that a
fair trial can be had by the defend
ants in Yavapai county. He admitted
that there is much prejudice in some
localities and Judge Sweeney granted
the order transferring the cases. I'm
der the law, the court nearest that in
which the cases are pending is the
on selected for the trial. There was
some little discussion as to whether
Phoenix or Flagstaff is nearer Pres
colt and the county engineer decided
in favor of Flagstaff by something
less than a mile, the basis of. com
putation being habitually travelled
roads.

W. A. WEBER BUYS
THE WHITE GARAGE

w. A. Webber within the last few
days closed a deal by which he be-
comes owner of the White Garage,
corner Beaver and Railroad. James
G. Tillman had been the owner of
the building for several years.
Mr.. Tillman isn't quite ready to an
nounce definite plans, but very like
ly will soon be reestablished in an
accessories and service station, re-
tanning the agency for REQ, Hudson
and Essex cars, of all three of which
he has made many sales. 1t is pleas
ant to announce that he intends stay
ing in Flagstaff.
Mr.. Webber, the new owner, is the
father of Orrin and Kenneth Webber,
owners of the Flagstaff garage,
which they bought two years or more
ago. They have there, in addition to
their big repair, accessories and SER
vice business, the agency for Dodge
cars. Webber senior has the local
franchise for the Franklin, and very
likely will handle that car at the
White garage.
Flagstaff has a strong appeal for
him and he's about decided that it's
the best place in the world 20 stay
And, staying, he may be counted on
to be one of our most consistent
builders and boosters.
The White garage was built seven
or eight years ago by Will Marlar
and leased to Jim and Hugh Tillman.
Eventually Jim took over the whole
business and a short time later bought
the building, which is well built,
roomy and well equipped.

ter The Sun has turned out this year
is the advertising folder of Shekayah
ranch, the enterprising and interest

Stiles at Tuba City. 1t is illustrated
with fine halftones and scenic, ana
map drawings by Mrs. Smith, who IS
as delightful a hostess as she IS IN
her artistry. -.
Flagstaff people have little reall-
zation of how many people in the
course of a season visit these scenic
desert points. There are many every
week. from all parts of the world.
Reading the Tuba City and Kayensa
correspondence in The Sun each
week shows how extensive this traf-
fic is becoming.
