MICHAEL ]. DOYLE OF
BISBEE DIES SUNDAY

BISBEE, Dec 6. - up - Michael j..
Doyle, 81, pioneer peace officer and
Indian fighter died here suddenly
Sunday night, thus marking the close
of one of the most colorful careers in
the history of this state.
Doyle joined the United States army
when he was Is years old and was
sent west, where he saw service in
Kansas, New Mexico and Arizona in
Indian campaigns. He was one of the
group which captured Geronimo, and
he was stationed successively at Fort
Huachuca, Fort Bowie and Fort Low
ell 1t was at the latter fort near
Tucson where he was discharged from
the army in 1884 with the rank of SER
geant
Returning to this vicinity after his
army service, Doyle became a peace
officer during the boom days of Tomb
stone and served as chief of police of
that mining camp. He later came to
Bisbee, where he served for a number
of years as an officer of the law in
various capacities until recent years,
when he has been engaged in mine
leasing operations.

WARRINGTON, Dec. 5.-Demands of
the U. S. state department regarding
enforcement of the Mexican constitu-
tion have been resisted by Mexico be-
cause article 27 is the foundation of
the Mexican republic" Ambassador
Manuel c. Tellz says.
Teller represents the Gales govern
ment here. He gave NEA Service an
interview summing up his country's
side of the present controversy.
Reports of severance of diplomatic
relations between the United States
and Mexico because of the clash over
article 81 have been widely published.
But none of the rugs at the Mexican
embassy here have been rolled up nor
any chinaware Grated.
Denies COnfiscatiOn
AS the U. S. state department inter-
prets it, article 81, if enforced literally
might effect confiscation of American
property in Mexico. Oil and mining
interests particularly are concerned.
Article 81 expresses the aspirations
for which the Mexican people fought
for Is years. 1t is the embodiment of
their SOUL, said Tellez.

WASHINGTON a.
LETTER SKI

american property is not in danger
of confiscation; there is no threat to
deprive American citizens or interests
of their governments protection, and
in my opinion, the protested Mexican
petroleum and land laws do not justify
the furore that they have caused.
1--WE intend no confiscation and no
retroactivity. Our oil laws simply mean
a change of title, and the new titles
will be better titles because they will
be granted by the government, where
as the old ones were but personal
titles"
Effective January 1
Article 27 declares that the subsoil
and it's contents are the property of
the nation, and that such preferential
rights in subsoil as were vested in the
surface land ownership must be ex-
changed for 50-year concessions, free
and renewable. But the new legisla-
ton applying this provision, in effect
after January l. 1927, exempts all lands
acquired before 1917 on which oil ex-
ploitation had begun or could be proved
to have been contemplated by any posi-
tive act.

CONGRESS GETS.
| 600 BILLS IN
FIRST Sc SION

WASHINGTON, Dec. 6 (P)-Congress
expects to listen in on the radio this
winter to programs coming in not
only on the receiving set at home,
but also to the broadcasting of a
number of it's members from the
floors of the house and senate.
In other words, radio legislation,
which got sidetracked in the closing
days of the last session, is slated
for another turn on the main track
of the legislative program.
Two radio bills, one the White
bill coming from the house and the
other the Dill bill from the senate,
were so unlike each other that both
houses appointed a group of members
to confer on the matter and attempt
to adjust differences. This group
of conferees met and static imme
diately issued forth. When congress
adjourned July 3, the two bills still
were drowned out in the confusion.
Both the White and Dill bills are
designed to give the federal govern
ment broader control of radio activ-
lllSSJ Jul piOpOSGu ullIeISlI uleIIOuS
of going about it. Representative
White, republican, Maine, feels that
his plan is best, while Senator, Dill,
democrats Washington, is convinced
that what he suggests would be
better. Whether radio legislation is
enacted at the Forthcoming session
probably will depend largely upon the
attitude the authors of the two
measures take
The White bill proposes that the
federal government exercise control
over the ether through a bureau in
the commerce department and also a
radio commission to be created by
congress. The Dill measure would
place sole power to regulate the
ether in the hands of a commission.
This latter measure also is prefaced
by a declaration, as follows:
That it is hereby declared and
reaffirmed that the limits of the
United States, it's territories and pos
sessions, ether within is the inalien-
able possession of the people thereof,
and that the authority to regulate
its use in interstate and foreign COM
merce is conferred upon the congress
of the United States by the federal
constitution"

BACK TO VICTORIA

There isn't much need to account
for the reason
1t seems to be simple enough
That folks are expected, the forth
coming season
Again to begin taking snuff
1t is more than a whimsical Pigment
Of fiction
That Betty and mother and dad
Will shortly develop frenzied addic-
tion
TO the habit their grandfathers
had.
Where flappers their Charlestoning
knee caps are shaking
On the porch, on the beach, In
the dorm'
The young generation will shortly
be taking
The weed in it's powdery form.
Although still here and there some
out-dated old fogy
Will now and then solemnly puff
A slim cigarette, cheroot or
stogy,
The rest of us will all take snuff.
For the world has arrived at
serious crisis
It's taste has grown callous and
cold
And having grown weary of all the
new vices
1t is forced to return TO the old.
No drink and no dance has been
lately invented
Whose vogue hasn't rapidly passed,
And people are certain to grow dis
contented
Unless they revert to the past.
And so they will set the, reformers
to croaking
And bring themselves into disgrace
BY dropping the mild harmless habit
of smoking
And sneezing all over the place.
And why should an effort be put
forth to curb us?
Though the habit may make us
all sick,
A trifling discomfort will never dis
turb us
A long as it gives US kick!
