NOGALES, June 10.-Richard Daw-
son, American, whose death is under
investigation by the state department
was found on the streets of Los
Muchias, Sinaloa, Mexico, by a Mex
ican policeman Tuesday night, a
correspondent of the Herald tele-
graphed tonight. His head had been
crushed by an unknown assailanr,
but he was still alive.
He died last night at the United
Sugar company's hospital. Dr.. O..
c. West of the sugar company tried
Tor several hours to save the mans
life. The burial took place today at
the suggestion of DR.. West who con-
sidered it unfeasible to ship the
body back to Chickasha. Okla, Daw-
sons home.
Dawson is survived at Los Muchias
by his wife who is reported by the
Herald's correspondent to be desti-
tute. The Dawsons went to the Sim

son apparently looking for work. A
Mexican colonel here by the name of
Serrano said that little was known

BOXES EARS OF
DICE SHOOTER
(By Dispatch A. 4. Wire1

TUCSON, June 10.-Imitating the
example of his master who scourged
the money changers for their lack of
respect for the house of God, the Rt.
Rev. Daniel James Gercke, d. d.,
bishop of Tucson. stepped from his
throne during solemn high mass at
ST. Augustine's cathedral last Sunday
and boxed the ears of a youth who
was playing dice with companion
in the rear of the church.
Clad in the purple cassock of his
holy office and wearing on his head
the "zucchetto" and the "biretta' of a
prince of the church, and on his shoul-
ders the "mozetta' of Episcopal au,
thority, Bishop Gercke was seated on
his throne, to the left OF the altar,
while Father Eduardo was preaching
The bishop noticed a commotion in
the rear of the church. Stepping from
the throne, Bishop Gercke approached
the group and found one of two lads
"rattling the bones"
1t was the work of but moment
for the indignant prelate to give the
dice rattlers sound cutting on the
ears and hustle both of the players
out of the church

REICHSTAG IS IN
DISPUTE AS TO
THE PRESIDENT
(By Dispatch A. Z. Wirel

BERLIN, June 10.-The reichstag
was in an uproar today when the
subject of President Won Hindenburg' $
letter declaring against confiscation
of the former rulers property reused
the wrath of the socialists. They
abandoned the reserve with which
the presidential office has hereto
fore been treated and openly criticized
the action of the president
Charging the president with "giv-
ing up the neutrality which lie
solemnly promised to observe in in
ternal political controversial ques-
tions," the socialists, through former
chancellor Herman Mueller, declared:
'This constitutes violation of the
-partisanship incumbent upon the
president by virtue of his office"
The socialists seemed particularly
angry that the president had desig-
mated the proposed confiscation meas
ure as an infringement on the prin-
ciples of justice and morality, ard
sought by many historical examples
to show that the former rules them
selves had violated justice and moral
ity by their demands.
The attack on Won Hindenburg was
occasioned by the first reading oE
the government compromise bill for
settling the affairs of the ex-rulers.
The bill calls for the appointment of
a special court composed of profess
sional and lay judges.

Achievements, purposes, ideals and

According to ]. P. Sexton, the object
of every Kiwanian should be to see

no matter what his politics; and to
see that money is spent, and spent
right. The general principles on
which the speaker based his conclu-
sions were elucidated in his preced-
ing analsysis, which was as follows:
"There are three major menaces which
hamper or destroy industry, and the
livelihood it provides people.
"These are: First, war; second, in

menace of resumed war; third, gov

WANT EICV.AL A. SMITH TO MAKE.
RACE FOR GOVERNOR THIS FALL

A number of prominent republicans
of Cochise county have started move
ment to nominate Hoval A. Smith of
Warren, for governor on the republi-
can ticket. Cochise county has never
had a candidate for governor or either
ticket since Arizona became state,

make highly acceptable candidate
to the republicans throughout the
states and would set their united sup
port.
He has served as chairman Of the
republican state central committee,
was a candidate for United States sen.
ator in the first state election and is
widely known throughout Arizona.
Smith is at present in the east, and
it is not known whether or not he
will make the race, but his most inti~
mate friends feel certain that he can
be induced to run.
Hoval A. Smith is prominent min
ing engineer, having started in his
profession in the Lake Superior cop
per mines 81 years ago. He came to
Arizona soon thereafter, having been
the first chief engineer of the Calu.
met and Arizona Mining company and
later aiding in the construction of the
Phelps Dodge smelter here. He was
also a leading figure in the Develop
ment of the Warren district mines, and

Agriculture Department
Plans to Restrict The
Ariz. Cotton Movement
(By Dispatch A. p. wirs)

WASHINGTON. June 10. - The
department. of agriculture today
announced tentative regulations
restricting the movement of cot
ton and cotton products as well
as other materials capable of
carrying the Thurberia weevil from
the infested area of Arizona into
or through any other part of the
country.
Final recommendations are eX-
pected before June %.
The departments announcement
said the regulations were drafted
"primariIy to apply to the area
which it is expected will be desig-
mated by the secretary as infested.
This belief is that state cO-Opera-
tiOn will make it possible to limit
them to such area. Failure on the
part of the state, however, to
establish an intrastate quarantine
will necessitate the enforcement
of the restrictions of the federal
quarantine and regulations to the
entire state of Arizona.

progress that we are enjoying today"

The senate agreed by
unanimous consent to limit

Champions of the McNary measure
saw their support dwindle during the
day and they conceded tonight that
the bill would have close shave.
They had depended on help from the
