CUP

NEW YORK, Aug. 26.-With the
privilege at stake Of becoming the
official challenger France and
Japan willa meet in the opening
matches Of the iater-zone finals Of
the Davis CUP series this afternoon
month with what is believed viii
face the American holders Of the
cup at the Germantown Cricket
Club, philadelphia, early next
month with what is believed VIII
be the sternest challenge issued
since the United States reclaimed
the famous trophy six years ago.
France, on paper strength ruled
the favorite over Japan but many
conceded the MOngo1ians more than
a fighting chance for several rea-
sons, one Of which was the fact
that Jean BorOtra, French star
will not reach America until after
the inter-zone, matches. Another
was that the French have had lit
tie practice on turf courts owing
to heavy rains in the east during
recent weeks, while the Japanese
have been working on the turf for
several months.
An all-night rain and heavy skies
this morning gave a rather dubious
aspect to todayss matches. These
were to feature Henri Cochet, the
latest French sensation. against
Thumie TawAra and Rene Laeoete
opposed to Takeichi Harada; the
Japanese captain. The doubles win
be played tomorrow and the last
two singles on Saturday.

TRIAL
OF ACCUSED AXE

PRESCOTT = Only her CULVER
ing lips and clenched hands serv-
ed to tell of the surging emotions,
repressed after the fashion OF Am
ericans, when Edith Barela, IA
year-old daughter of Josefina Ola
que, told a Superior court jury
how she had last seen her mother
alive before the elder woman had
gone on a drive with Amador An
chondo, her professed lover and
now her accused murderer. An
chondo went on trial for his life,
charged with the axe murder OF
Mrs. Olague at a spot south OF
Ashfork on the morning of May 81.
When stained and blood-marked
overalls and a shirt and hat were
handed the girl by assistant dis
trict attorney Furst, Edith flinched
but identified them. There was
nearly a break when Furst held
out to her the soiled packet and
stained scarf which Mrs. Olague
had worn on that fatal excursion.
The principal purpose of the
girls testimony was to make posi-
tive Identification of the clothing
and personal effects of Mrs. Ola
que.
Anchondo, according to testi-
mony of several witnesses, was en-
gagged in a quarrel with Mrs. Ola
que before they left Humboldt to
move to AshfOrk, and they cOntin-
ued the quarrel at Ashfork. They
left to drive out on the highway on
the afternoon of May 80 and An
chondo returned at 4 a. M, the
following morning, giving the re-
port that the car had upset and
Mrs. Olague was dead.

found the woman her head had

To0ts From The
Round House
By Charles Erickson

Well, readers, I don't seem to
know a great amount Of round
house scandal this week. Every
one has been either too good or
else too "doggone bad" to create
much printable news. Of course,
there is no such thing as having
nothing to write about, but 1 have
disclosed the facts concerning our
fastly being "remodeled" round
house so often that it becomes only
sort of "semi-news." VIII state,
however, that contractor Jones
gangs are at present setting up"
the forms for pouring the concrete
walls of the bran new" tin shop,
shop time keepers office and tool
room. Glad to see this move at
last started.
The writer is glad to say that
the result of last Sundays ball
game was in favor of the riptrack
Redskins. The Gallup boys put up
good battle and it is expected
that they will be out for taste of
sweet revenge when they meet the

Arizona Legion Wins
q Third Place Gain
In Memb erships S

PHOENIX = With 1926 bona
fide members in the 80 posts of
the American Legion in the state
of Arizona on June %, all previous
membership records in the history
of the department have been brok-
en-, according to statement made
by Department Adjutant D. Doug
las.
In 1920, the highest previous rec
ord made in membership by the
department, there were 1922 mem
bers in the state, and the healthy
showing made by the legion this
year is gratifying to the department
officials who have been devoting a
great deal of their time since the
last department convention to
membership problems.
The John H. Slaughter post, of
Springerville shows the greatest
percentage of gain in membership,
with 343 per cent, an increase from
z to "a members, while the largest
gain in membership by any single
post was made by the Morgan-Mc
Dermott post of Tucson, with a
gain of 1877 new members, or a per-
centage of 331, second only to the
smaller post at Springerville.
The records of the department of
Arizona this year show a gain of
1,074 new members or SO per cent,
over last years membership, and
Arizona now stands third among
the four states in the union which
have exceeded the quotas set for
them by the national organization.
Wyoming is first among the
states in the union, Florida is sec
ond, Arizona third, and Idaho is
fourth. The quota set by the ma
tional organization for Arizona was
2,875, and this figure has thus far
been exceeded by $50 members.
According to information receiv-
ed by the department adjutant's Of
flee from the posts in the state, a
substantial increase in member
ship over the present total may
well be expected as representation
from the posts to the department
convention which will be held in
Bisbee next month on the 25th,
9th and 2Sth. Each post is al
lowed two delegates with one ad-
ditional for each so or fraction
thereof.
