YUMA CHAMBER
OPPOSES TOLL
BRIDGE PLAN

Support of the Douglas Chamber
of Commerce and Mines is asked by
the Yuma Chamber of Commerce i'll
it's move to dispute or 20 defer
action in the senate in The case of
bill recently passed by the house
of representatives, calling for the
construction of a toll bridge across
the Colorado River near Blythe
The measure was introduced by
Congressman Phil D. Swing Of Cali
fornia and has raised much opposi-
ton among the constituency OF the
Yuma Chamber of Commerce which
opposed for several reasons. The
Yuma opponents point ous that the
present ferry-system now in opera
ton is sufficient to meet the needs
and that the request for bridge
is premature. 1t is also held that
the road leading to that point will
not yield enough revenue until it is
adequately paved.
In the letter received here from
the Yuma chamber. it is also stated
that the bridge is not the ultimate
build it want simply a good re-
turn on the capital invested AMI are
not advocating its construction for
philanthropic reasons.
Furthermore, the Yuma chamber
writes that federal aid is not avail
able to help build the road Which
the bridge would require and thus
the burden would fall on the tax
payers of the state. Finally it is
stated that lack of funds in the
state highway department is holding
up much road work no wand that it
would be unwise to insist upon
other such projects.
According to the Yuma chambers
outlook, when conditions justify the
bridge, it should be built by Arizona
and California as free bridge as
the users of it will be paying a
gasoline tax into the treasury of
the states for it's maintenance

West Virginia in the last tabulations,
but the vets picked up plenty Of
votes in Massachusetts and Virginia
to offset them. The state of Wash
ington also gave aid and comfort to
the vets and in Iowa the modifica-
tionists continue to lead the dry by
2 to 1.
New York, as was expected, is
coming to the fore as the wettest
state of all, casting 142,71S votes for
modification and 10O,949 for straight
repeal, and only 15,S46 for prohibit
ton. California is not far behind
with upwards of 10000 votes for
modification and over 10000 for re
peal and Ohios combined repeal and
modification vote is well above 100,-
00O
AS more complete returns come in,
they illustrate more fully to what an
extent public interest is aroused. In
one wisconsin city the drys found
themselves trailing as the poll neared
it's finish; SO dry leaders canvassed
the town, and got enough votes to
bring them to an even footing with
the vets in the final totals. In
Michigan city the wet leaders 'got
out the vote" with vengeance,
while the drys sat idle and the city
went wet heavily. In a Kentucky
city ministers denounced the poll
from their pulpits-and vote of
more than SO per cent of the towns
population was polled with the drys
far in the lead.
The figures in MEAS referendum
are accurate. Every effort has been
made to keep them so. And so to-
days announcement that 1,574,3O7
votes have been tabulated means thai
exactly that number of people have
voted.

night were much pleased with the
new four piece orchestra which has
been obtained to play there
For sometime, the theatre manage
ment has had fine pianist and an

complete the orchestra.
Sunday, two high class musicians
arrived here from Eel Paso, a corniet-
list and a violinist, to complete the
orchestra of four members and last
night this group played together for
the first time.
Everyone who heard the musicians

Belmont Co. Reports
Striking Rich Ore Vein

According to the Superior Sun Of
March 10, 1926, development work
of the past week at the estate of
the Belmont Copper Mining COM
pany has exposed a magnificent
body of high grade silver ore, COM
monty called native silver, which
means a close approach to the pure
stuff. Recent exploitation disclosed
the fact that tremendously large
shoot of high grade silver has been
opened The rich silver was found
in the Copper Bell vein, which was
opened few weeks ago and gave
to the district it's second big pro-
Queer. The rich ore was found about
sixty-five feet west of the original
discovery.
Good progress is being made on
the crosscut to the Gibson vein. 1t
is estimated that the Gibson ledge
will be encountered in another hun
dred feet of work. This crosscut is
being made from the 1150-foot level
and when he ore is cut it will be
at vertical depth of about 1900
feet. Crosccutting in the direction of
the Belmont vein is also in progress.
That the Belmont has a high rich
silver mine, carrying good values in
gold, zinc and lead, is now generally
conceded. That the mine at depth
will make a big copper producer,
rivalling the Magma is another safe
conclusion.

upon by the house, Senator Ashurst
declared that nothing had been said
since to change the situation He
quoted a series of rates to prove his
point that railroads through charg-
ing a larger tariff on short inter
mediate hauls than on longer hauls,
were discriminating against the
southwest and in favor of Mexican
communities.
Alleged efforts of chambers of
commerce and the chamber Of COM
merce of the United States to de-
feat the measure were referred to
by Senators Nye and Frazier.
"The chamber of commerce crowd
is running true to form" Senator
Frazier declared, adding that en-
actment would tend to alleviate
agricultural depression. Senator Odic
said that the measure would re-
lieve economic depression in the in
termountain region which has been
held back and hampered for years
by an uneconomic and wasteful
policy.
Senator Ashurst said residents of
the intermountain range are paying
for the Panama. canal twice over
first, in taxes assessed to build the
canal, and now for the second time
in increased freight rates imposed
because of water transportation
competition through the canal.

from her waist, had ralded par

ment on lower Folsom street, backed
five men up against the wall, de-
spite their snarlng threats, and held
them there while she rang for the
police.
The women were one and the same
"Daisy Simpson," loyal worker for
the police, the best shadower that
the city hes ever known, terror to
liquor sellers and the nemesis OF the
underworld. The encomium is from
the lips of Captain of Police Charles
Golf, who employed her both as a
member of the morals squad and as
general enforcement officer.
The variety of her talents was in
finite. Armed with the knowledge
she gained while narcotic addict In
San Francscos dives, and whilo
beating her way back to respectable
ity again, and with an iron nerve,
she would assume again the droop
and the twitch of the eater" go
down into the dens that she had for
saken and clean them out, with
gun in the folds Of her dress, and
the inevitable bracelets" which she
always carried.
Weeks later she would appear in
Chicago, Milwaukee, Baltimore or
New York, for she worked the coun-
try over for the government, dressed
in a. stunning Gainsborough hat and
Deauville gown, and drink and sing
in high revel at a supper club or
some other night resort that knows
only the royal spenders and royal
drinkers. A few hours later there
would be a lineup of silken gowned
women and top hated and fur coated
men at the nearest police station.
Prior to 1915, Captain Goff said,
Daisy Simpson was an underworld
figure whose weakness for narcotics
did not take the keen edge off her
clever mind Her chief duty was to
trap those who sold liquor to sol
diers. She got into one place near
the preside Where she was known.
For a time it looked like her career
would be ended there by knife or
bullet, but she whipped out heI
gun and shot her way out. Then the
police closed in on the place.
Later she joined Goff while he was
a federal prohibition enforcement di-
rector here and her work reached the
apex of its sensationalism. William
Anderson, then federal enforcement
officer in Los Angeles and later Chi
cago, started her on nation wide
campaign, and she swept like flame
through many an underworld colony
and bootleg nest She was a capable
automobile driver and tracked much
of her quarry this way.
She was divorced IA years ago
from Bert Sinkins, a customs en-
ploye, and later became a narcotic
addict through an unfortunate love
affair. She Sought off the drug
craving successfully and then enlisted
as a peace officer so that she might
strike back att the underworld that
had trapped her. Sinkins is being
closely questioned by federal author
tiles today as result of the attemp'
of the woman 60 kill herself in Ell
Paso, but there is no charge against
him, and he will not be held, they
said.

FiveO men and woman were in
dicted with Whittemore as was his
wife, Margaret. They were charged
with seven specific crimes in which
loot totalling between $75O,O00 and
$1,OOO,OOO was obtained. Their pos

crimes still was under investiga-

trial for the murder of a prison
guard last year were before Governor
Smith for signature, but executive
action was deferred at the request

Assistant States Attorney Edgett,

Whittemore and to urge his i'm
