ergy which have made him nationally
known and respected figure were fur
ther evidenced when it became known
Wednesday evening that he has for
some months past been conducting an
investigation into conditions in the
Sulphur Springs valley which culni-
mated in the senator's decision, after a
conference with engineers which termi-
mated in Bisbee at o'clock Wednesday
morning, to foster new plan for the
development of the valley.
The building of a dam to impound
waters with which to irrigate the Sui
phur Springs valley was the plan which
Cameron originally considered, but
after exhaustive investigation and after
comforting with some of the best engi-
neering talent in the country, Cameron
has now decided that the plan would
be impractical due to the fact that the
source of water supply to such a dam
would not be dependable.
1t is estimated conservatively that
there are some $4,000 acres of good ag-
ricultural land in the valley. 1t is also
known definitely that good water
abounds at a shallow depth below the
surface of these lands. Accordingly, it
is Cameron's plans to secure a federal
appropriation with which to- build q
giant power plant at some strategic
location in the valley, such plant to
supply electrical power to farmers In
the valley at cost so low as to enable
them to pump water for irrigation pur-
poses at a cost even below the cost Of
gravity flow irrigation waters.
The meeting at the Grand theatre
"Wednesday evening, which was pre-
sided over by Charles Cunningham,
president of the on-for-Senator'
club, opened with Cameron campaign
song, sung by c. o. Bartlett of Tucson.
Cunningham then introduced Hoval
A. Smith, we'll known Arizona mining
engineer and Cameron's campaign
manager, who delivered a forceful ad-
dress on the theme, Cameron and the
Colorado"
Smith, who has been associated with
Cameron for more than 20 years eX-
planned in graphic manner Cameron
activities in connection with the Colo
rado river and it's development by
documentary evidence and matters OF
public record, Smith was able to sub
statiate beyond question the claim ol
Cameron supporters that Cameron Is
the father of the first projects for the
development of Arizona's greatest nat
ural resource. He showed that as fal
back as 1908 Cameron had compiled
data and formulated definite plan
for the rivers development.
Hoval A. Smith said:
u is strange indeed to witness the
present day maneuvers of certain
cliaues, and the critical fervor with
which they and certain self-seeking ac-
quisitive, mercenary forces are lnces-

Still Locking EN- Up

Judge Collier is determined to
break up the dangerous practice
of speed cranks inside the pre-
scribed zones in the city, and
with that end in view he con-
tinues to tack the two days in
the county jail to the sentence
of S25 and costs to the punish
ment handed out to violators of
the law.
Monday morning a couple Of
the boys got theirs. One was
travelling at a thirty-eight mile
gait on Wilson street, and the
other was cutting a thirty-five
mile clip on Church street.
His honor put a crimp in
their happiness by soaking both
for the S25 and costs-and the

whose duty it was to enforce the
law, knew he was doing wrong
even though the girl had not
been injured, and he should be
the last man to have such a
charge preferred against him.
Defendant had also been per-
nitted to remain on the police
force, and even had the audacity
to appear in court armed and
wearing a policeman's uniform.
The court was convinced that
witnesses had committed perjury
in giving testimony in behalf of
defendant, and that it was the
duty of the state officers to in
vestigate the matter and put
such guilty parties on trial.
In passing sentence the court
said he believed the defendant
should be given severe penalty,
and he therefore sentenced him
to pay a fine of $4,000 and the
costs and to serve 120 days in
the county Jail.
Burton's attorneys have ap-
pealed the case and defendant
has given bond in the sum of
$1,000, signed by Nettie Hall,
his mother, and former service
director Charles F. Taylor, for
a stay of execution.

Four Months For COP

Policeman William Burton's s
trial upon the charge of contrib
uting to the delinquency of a
minor girl aged sixteen years
has finally arrived at the end of
a tempestuous and exciting jour
ney as far as it's trip through
the juvenile court is concerned.
The trial itself, occupying sew
eral days, was held in the COM
mon pleas court room in order to
accommodate the anticipated
crowd of spectators; but the at
tendance of scandal lovers far
exceeded expectations and over
flowed into the adjoining halls
and corridors.
Some spectacular testimony
was introduced and considerable
legal oratory indulged in on
both sides. When the case was
finally submitted to the jury a
verdict of guilty was returned
after several hours deliberation.
Counsel for defense Immediately
filed a motion for a new trial
and furnished the necessary
bond.
Judge Alexander took the case
under consideration and in pass
ing upon the motion Tuesday
morning stated that thirteen
charges were argued by defend
ants counsel and he did not be-
lieVe the court erred in the con-
duct Of the trial, that no new
evidence had been presented and
he believed that the verdict in
the trial was sustained by the
evidence and he therefore over
ruled the motion.
Before passing sentence the
Judge expressed his opinion in
good plain immistakable Eng
lish regarding some Of high
spots Of the case. Among other
things, he believed defendant.
