MAY FIGHT IN NEW YORK.

NEW YORK, July 26-George Brow
err member of the New York State
Athletic commission, in telegram to-
day urged Tex Rickard to return to
New York and place the matter of n
Dempsey Tunney bout before the COM
mission again.
Brower's action came as a surprise
following his action in voting with
Chairman James A. Farley that Demp-
sey must meet Harry Wills before any
other in this state. The commissions s
verdict caused Rickard to seek a site
for the Tunney contest in Chicago.
"While l make no promises as to our
action, 1 formally request that you
proceed Immediately to New York and
bring this matter before the commis-
sion for furthelf consideration" the
telegram advised.
Only last week Commissioner William
Muldoon attempted to have the ques-
ton reopened and was voted down by
Farley and Brewer.

Several counts listed the embezzle-

bezzlement of liquor was charged to
Colonel Green for June s, last when
he is said to have taken ten bottles
of whisky, one bottle of wine and
one bottle of gin.
The case against Colonel Green

Colonel Green, while admitting his

in his room, said that he'd not vio-
lated the Volstead law, but had done
all he could to gain it a wide ce-

favorably as the battle ground, but
that so many obstacles had arisen that
he was unable to make the definite
statement that he had promised Sat

b. E. Clements of the Chicago CO.

tion that he alone has the right to
Dempsey's services, and said he was
going ahead with his plan to stage the

NOGALES, July 26.-The building
Arizona is resulting in the develop
ment of a state asset quite as inn
portant as agriculture or mining,
Governor Geo w. P. Hunt told the
joint conference of county assessors
and supervisors at the opening ses-
sion here this morning.
Good roads are proving of inesti-
mable value in acquainting the ma
tion with the scenic attractions Of
the state, it's untouched resources
and it's magnificent possibilities" the
governor told his auditors.
Maintenance of these highways,
even though the cost mounts can
not be considered false economy
the governor declared
In his opening remarks the chief
executive voiced high praise for the
services rendered the state by the
county assessors, the supervisors and
the members of the tate tax COM
mission.
Prosperity of the state depends a
great deal on the Just equalization Oh
taxes, and the fact that many of you
assessors have been reelected 70
office in just index of your fair
ness" he continued.
Much of the credit for the prog
ress of highway building in Arizona
was attributed by the speaker to
the splendid spirit of cooperation.
that has existed between county
boards of supervisors and the state
highway department. Tracing this
highway development through it's
growth, he said: Fourteen years
ago, there was not single mile Of
state highway in Arizona. Today
we find the state covered with q
system which is recognized far and.
wide as the finest west of the
Mississippi river. The best part of
this development is that we have
been paying for the roads as we
build them. There have been no
state road bond issues, as in many
other states. Good roads are a grow
ing asset that are bringing wealth 10
every county and happiness to thou
sands of visitors" he concluded
