IDOUCHERTY ASKS
THAT LEGION Be
NON POLITICAL

The American legion is to- keep out
of politics. A. J. Dougherty, depart
ment commander for Arizona, follow.
ing directions from national head
quarters. has. reiterated the iposition
that neither the state department. nor
any post should go on record as fas
voring any particular candidate. The
message of the department. commander.
in part, says:
"All legionaires are urged to gel
into politics and work for their respec-
tive parties, but those legipnaIres who
value and love the legion will be care,
full not to split the legion by making
political capital of legion work.
'The American legion has friends in
all parties, and many candidates for
office .are non-legionaires who have
relatives and close friends who are
legionaires. 1t is thus easily seen that
for any post to back any particular
candidate would be suicidal so far as
the legion itself is concerned The
statement from the department com,
mander resulted from the erroneous re-
port that the American legion was fa-
voring some certain candidates.

PEACE OFFICERS
CONVENTION IS
BROUGHT TO END

With the adoption of tour bills to
be presented before the next state leg
islature the Arizona peace officers as
sociation closed it's second annual con-
vention at Prescott Tuesday. William
Van Winkle chief watciiman of the
Copper Queen smelrer. was Douglas,
only representative at the convention
illness keeping "a number of local mem
bers from attending.
The most important of the proposed
bills is one intended to check the sale
of small arms. This bill follows close
1y similar bill passed by the Cal
fornia legislature, which makes it a
felony for any person previously con-
victed of felony to carry or possess
small arms and misdemeanor Tor
any person to do so. Arizona officers
believe that this step will tend to les
son crime.
second bill is to establish state
finger print identification bureau, with
central headquarters in Phoenix. The
passage of this bill, which has been
advocated by the international Asso'
ciation of Criminal Identification, will
permit the interchange of criminal
records between various cities of the
state and will materially aid officers
in running down criminals from other
cities.
A third bill will be aimed toward
curbing the traffic in marihuana, one
of the most insidious drugs found in
the southwest and one not regulated
in the federal narcotic laws. The
fourth bill, called to being by a re-
cent case in Yavapai county, will make
it a misdemeanor for any person to
impersonate an officer or to wear or
possess an officers badge.
These bills will be prepared for the
legislature by Con Cronin, legal adj,
visor for the association, who attend
ed the recent convention of the Amer
ican Bar association in Denver when
TIE bill prohibiting the possession OF
srnall arms was indorsed.

Two more innovations have been
added to the program for the game to
be played Sunday, August 22, between

CT the Douglas bail club, it was learna
cd Thursday.

er, featuring the Fats and the Leans
in the first game, and the Douglas
Giants and the l3isbee Giants in the
second game, and the musical pro
gram 20 be furnished by the Interna-
tional club orchestra, a special vaude-
willie act is to be staged at conven-
lent tine between innings, according
to the statement Thursday of those
arranging the program.

who, through the courtesy of Morris
Wasserm0n, proprietor of the Inter-
national club, secured the services OF
the International club orchestra, an
nounces that he has arranged for the
Importation G a Hula dancer, a real

inllling as to the date .. the dancers
arrival in Douglas. but he gave his
assurance hat she wonld arrive in
time to appear at the bis: show.
The ether new feature ST the com"
ing grudge game developed from
squabble between the Fats and the
Leans at the meeting of the Kiwanis
club, sponsors of the game, in the
matter of umpires. The Leans, of
course, wanted Pete Wimberley, who
so Eohly took care of the Leans in
terests in last Sundays game, to Of
ficiate again. The Fats protested
bitterly and finally Doc Huxtable pull
ed a new one on the boys.
Denouncing Pete Wimberley as be-
ing either bind or openly unfair Doc
stated that he had always been given
a square deal by the weaker sex and
declared himself in favor of asking a
woman to officiate as umpire. His
suggestion was the subject of consid-
erable opposition on the part of the
Leans, but in the end won out, it be-
ing agreed by compromise that a wo-
man shall umpire on the bases.
1t had not been decided late Thurs
day evening who the woman to enjoy
the unique distinction CT umpiring the
game will be, but Doc Huxtable says
he knows "a whole flock of women in
