ot Mrs. Hopes fine sensibilities, resulting from the alleged vile re- marks and actions of Mrs. Moves. He said he does not believe any per son, especially woman, should be permitted to attack another person and inhict maiming injuries.
 Attorney Sake contended that Mrs. Moves precipitated the fracas by the use of vile language. Mrs. Hoppe became angered and Host her head" but the injuries inflicted on Mrs. Moves were caused principally by the fall, he claimed.
 If Mrs. Hopes attack was as vii cious as had been represented, Mrs. Moves injuries would have been of a more permanent nature.
 Where do you want her? In the cemetery" Attorney McDonough asked.
 Atr Grenestein said he felt he should express to the defense attor- neys his appreciation of their able prosecution of the states cases.

GALES REQUESTS
SPECIAL POWERS
FOR FARM LAWS

MEXICO CITY, Nov. 80 Especial to
the Dispatch )-President Gales has
asked the national congress to grant
I'm special Legislative powers In
ae.rarian matters in order that he
may properly regulate the junction
ing of the existing laws and fill
gaps which have been left in these
laws by lack OF measures which ne
intends TO promu!gate. The president
points out that theEe has not been
a complete Legislative program to
carry out the precepts of the law OF
1915, nor of the federal constitution,
and that this materially impedes the
progress in agrariaA mArrers which
might be desired.
Due to the complicated nature OF
thet&proposed legislation and. to the
short time which is at the disposaa
CT congress because of the large
amount of work now before it. tho
president asks the special powers IN
order that Legislation may not have
to pass over to another session with
the loss of practically year and the
consequent injury to agrarian popula-
ton.
The resolution sent to the chamber
of deputies follows:
Article /. The executive power or
the union is granted spec'as powers
to issue, amend and repeal agrariaN
legislation strictly in accord with
the law of January g, 1915, ana
article 81, of the constitution.
Article 2. The executive shall re-
port to the congress OF the un=on
On the use of which he makes of the
powers granted him.
Article 3. The decree issued by tho
congress of tho union November -,

OF the same year, is repealed.

THIS STATE AND
THE EAST HAVE
SAME PROBLEMS

From New. England to Arizona is a
far cry. Geographically they are as
far apart as they can be without
moving out of The United States. In
climate and topography they are, ut
terly different. New. England is as
typically the east of Arizona is typ
cally the west. 1t is the, olS tanc,
thickiy settled, well developed, con-
taining four of the original thirteen
states-Arizona is the new land, COM
paratiyely small in population, com
paratiyely und4veloped, the youngesr
state in the union, though II was
known to the old world long Oerore
the white mans foot had toucnec
Plymouth rock.
And yet New England, facing vast
" different problems, but SEEKING
the same end, has joined Arizona In
applying to its future new rorlE
Of co-operativa effort-and applying
il in. the Identical way as Arizona,
originator OF the plan
Last year New England awakened
to a peculiar condition. Secure in
generations of manufacturing and fl
nancial supremacy, it had allowed
it's agriculture to languish, it's his
torical and scenic attractions to be
overlooked by the rest of the coun-
try And with other states sailing
nlerriIys along and making their
breeze as they went, New England
discovered it had been drifting on
its lod momentum until it was al
most at standstill, with even lis
once nationally dominant manufacture
ing industries no longer leading their
fields.
New England got busy. II had a
conference, and organized the New
England council--a sort of central
clearing house for bringing about the
cooperation of all the New England
industries and organizations in Civ
ing each other hand for mutual
profit, and for co-ordinatng the ef-
fort Of these various interests and
agencies on all problems common to
the New England states. Many OF
New Englands most famous men,
leaders iE all sorts of industry aad
activity become active workers in
seeing what could be done to bring
New England back into Its own,
and assure it's future.
New England, in short, went about
its problem in exactly the same way
Arizona did five years ago. At that
time Arizona awakened to condt-
tion of it's own, which was that
things in Arizona could be made a
great deal better, and future de-
yelopment speeded up enormously, i
all interests and all sections got
together and went tc work. Arizona
too held a conference then, and
formed a central organization, the
Arizona Industrial congress, to serve
as it's clearing house for cooperation
between all industries and all OF.
sanizations, and coordination of their
work along lines of common m
teTest.
Just as the Industrial congress has
been a principal factor in the state
