BORAH DOUBTS BREAK.
Other Senators Hopeful of Peaceful
Settlement of Issue
By the Associated Press.

While various Senators are taking
u hopeful view of the situation, no
indication has come from the State
department or Mexico City to relieve
the impression that the strain which
las been placed on relations between
the two governments in the oil and
land law controversy has brought
fhem almost to the breaking point
The Gales government, apparently
awaiting a new move in the dispute
by the Washington Government, has
shown no inclination to modify it's
plan to put into effect, January !, the
new retroactive naturalization laws
which the United States regards as
detrimental to the rights of American
citizens who have obtained property
sn that country under the old laws.
New Notes PrOblematical.
In Washington, its demand for
t'concrete cases" is viewed as an in
Sitation to continue the diplomatic ex-
changes when specific instances of in
Justice. from the American viewpoint,
arise under the new statutes. Whether
this will lead TO further correspond

His view is shared by Senator Fess,

CARPENDER STORY
WEIGHED BY COURT
Question of Admitting Denial
of Mrs. GibSon'S Charge to
Be Decided Tomorrow.
BY the Associated Press.

SOMERVILLE, n. j., November rs.
When the Hall-Mills murder trial
is resumed tomorrow Justice Parker
is to rule whether Henry de Ia Bruyere
Carpenter should be permitted to
deny testimony of Mrs. Jane Gibson
that he was present when the muir
ders were committed four years ago.
Mr.. Carpender, under Indictment for
the murder of Mrs. Eleanor r. Mills,
along with his cousins, Mrs. Frances
Stevens Hall and her brothers, Henry
and Willie Stevens. but not on trial
at present, was called to the stand
late Yesterday. His testimony was
promptly stopped by the States OBJ
jections, but not before he had de.
MED his presence at the scene of the
crime.
Changed Identification Charged.
The defense contends that Mrs. Glib
son. who is regarded by the prosecu-
ton as the only witness of the muir
ders. switched her identification from
carpenter to Henry Stevens as the
man who held some glittering object
in hand. Special Prosecutor Simpson
argued that Carpenter was not de-
fendant in the present trial, and that
Mrs. Gibson had not identlned MN IN
direct testimony.
Regardless Of Justice Parker's de-
cision, the defense is ready to climax
its case by calling Mrs. Hall to the
witness stand when court reconvenes,
unless delayed cross examination or
f1ncerprint experts by the State pre-
vents It. Prints found on a calling
card at the feet of Rev. DR.. Edward
Wheeler Hall, the State contends, are
those of Willie Stevens. The defense
has introduced evidence to the con-
trary.
Points against the States case were
recorded before the controversy over
Carpender's testimony stopped the
trial. Willie Stevens came through
crosseyamination smiling and un-
confused. A prosecutors detective
and a former sheriff contradicted the
story Of Mrs. Gibson, told from a
hospital cot in the courtroom early In
the week.
Scratches Are Denied.
In addition, an Episcopal clergyman
testified that there were no scratches
on Mrs. Halls face the morning OF
her husbands funeral, and Prof. Ray
mond S. Dugan Of Princeton Uni
yersity said the moon had not yet
risen at the hour the murders were
committed, although Mrs. Gibson said
she saw Mrs. Hall crying in the moon

According to the finding of the

learned of this she expressed strong
opposition, desiring that Consuelo
marry a man with a splendid name,
although Rutherfurd was of fine
lineage, being a, descendant of Peter
Stuyvesant, last Dutch governor of

COUNTRY CLUB
MEMBERS ENJOY
WINN RECITAL

Nearly 100 members of the Douglas
Country club and their friends en-
joyed an excellent recital at the club
house Sunday afternoon in which Mrs.
Frederick Winn, instructor of voice
at the University of Arizona appear
ed in two groups of songs
The afternoon gathering took the
form of a musicale-tea, which was ar
ranged in honor of Mrs. Winn by her
Douglas friends. Throughout both
her groups of songs the singers voice
showed the results of exceptionally
fine training. She sang powerfully
and her voice is most adaptable for
grand opera singing, embracing as it
does great depth and strength. In
every numebr, Mrs. Winn easily took
the finest passages with grace and
smoothness and her voice has an al
most unlimited range.
Special mention should be given to
the B number in her second group of
songs, "Vissl D'Arte," from the La
Tosca, by Puccini in which she exhib-
tied rare feeling and most striking
tones. Her Interpretation of the sec
( ond passage in this number, which
singer cried out in a most sympathet-
ic manner pleading for her lover, was
done SO realistically and so pathetic
ally that it almost brought tears to-
the eyes of her listeners. The singer
studied in Italy eight months under
Puccini, which perhaps was partly re-
sponsble for her splendid rendition
OF this number.
She offered Romance" by De Busy,
in her first group of songs in a most
intelligent and effective way and this
was perhaps the second most appeal
ing of her selections. Mrs. Winn was
a student under De Busy in France
for several months also.
After each group the singer re-
sponded to encores Which proved de-
lightful and pleasing in each instance.
In all her numbers her interpretative
ability was exceptionally fine.
A. J. Pickering gave her most
accurate accompaniment and is to be
commended for his support. The au-
dience was much pleased with the
string sextette, which rendered two
numbers in the first part of the pro-
gram. The violinists with David Far
ber giving them wonderful accom-
paniment, brought forth great ap-
plause and played in perfect harmo-
ny throughout. Isadore Kline, Lee
Bodenhamer, Leslie Farber, Charles
Nichols and Marry Lusk, Jr., on the
violins and Harry Lusk on the cello
made up the string sextette which has
been heard here with pleasure Pm
Oooo cionS
Mrs Winn is lover of music and
is tremendously interested in chill
drens work and in building up her
two Junior choirs in Tdcson. She is

game played at Santa Rita. The
score was IL to 2.
This much can be said for the BIS
bee boys, however, they showed the
most hopeful work they have put
forth in their three games, their de-
fensive playing being far less marred
by misplays. A little more season

into real bunch, of contenders be-
fore the close of the season.
The Chino team started in the
first inning by touching Bell and

miles southwest of McNeal on Fri
day, April 6. The schools entered

the second sports pennant with 70 IL
points Neel won the first relay PEN

and endurance.

exhibition of ability when he won
the fourth high jump with a jump of
