PRISONER shot
while FLEEING
FROM OFFICERS

Felipe Hill, a federal prisoner, was
shot and probably fatally wounded
Tuesday afternoon in Bisbee when
he attempted to escape from Tom
Sims, of Douglas, deputy United
States marshal, who was taking him
to Tucson to answer a charge of
violating the prohibition laws.
Both Sims and Clarence Brown,
night sergeant of Bisbee police, pur-
sued the fleeing prisoner and both
fired when he refused to halt. 'Two
shots were fired by each officer and
it is not certain which of them in
flicted the wound.
The Mexican was rushed to a Bis
bee hospital where physicians stated
that the bullet had pierced lung
and the liver, making death practi~
cally certain.
According to THE reports, Hill
dashed out of the Bisbee Jail when
Sims turned to answer a telephone
call.

BILL TO GIVE
PRESIDENT WAY
TO ECONOMIZE

Among the various bills now be-
ing prepared for the consideration
Of congress and of which copies
are being sent to various chambers
of commerce throughout the country
for their consideration, the follow
ing proposition to give the presi-
dent blanket power for two years
to re-organize the business struc-
been presented to the local cham
ber.
Martin, L. Davey, representative in
congress from the Fourteenth Ohio
district is sponsoring the bill which
would give the chief executive Of
the nation the right to cut off hun
dreds of governmental employees
and he asks that the Douglas Cham
ber of Commerce and Mines re-
quest it's congressional representa-
tives to support the measure if
the directors of the Douglas organi-
zation consider it worthy one.
Writing about the bill, the Ohio
Congressman says: For seven years
IL have observed the departments
and bureaus of the government at
Washington at close range, having
had official business with nearly
all of them am simply appalled,
lat the loafing, Indifference and in
efficiency There are thousands up
aon thousands of unnecessary en-
ployes Aand endless duplication of
alleged effort. There is an inexcus-
able waste of much more than
half billion dollars year.
According to the reports of the
u. S. Civil Service commission, there
were 544,671 civilian employees of
the government on December 81,
1928 On June 80, 1925 there were
564,71S employes-an increase of
more than 10000 in just year and
rather than decrease the personnel
and expenses of government.
The think which is proposed in
my bill should be done. In all prob
ability it is the only way that it
ever will be done. 1t is doubtful if
real government reorganization
will be accomplished by congress
sional action. Thus the question is
will congress pass such a drastic
measure? Congress will do it if
public opinion demands it in a way
that is vocal and persistent
If you agree with me, you may
by official resolution of your or
ganization. If so, may I suggest
that you send such resolution to
your representative in Congress and
your two senators.

scope of foreign governments to de-
eide as to the effects Of the agree
ment entered into by their nationals
with the government of another
country as affecting the relations
within (betweenO them and their
respective nationals"
The rights of petroleum and min

franchises only to the subsoil, the
minister declared, are protected un-

which, he insisted, is to reserve to
Mexicans what is essential in the
cultivation and enjoyment of arabic

"It is possible to point out that
this policy of the Mexican govern

the United States, where by means Of
Immigration laws, foreigners are prat
tical1y barretr from establishing them
selves in its territory in grea'

as a condition to the acquisition o

CHICAGO, Jan. 19.-The selection
of albuquerque, N. NJ, as the site
for the proposed tuberculosis hospital
of the War Mothers Memorial as
sociation was predicted today by
members of the local committee. A
tentative report drawn up by Major
j. H. Toulouse, of Albuquerque, exc
cutive secretary of the association
said that an industrial colony for
families of patients was contemplated,
the whole project approximately $S7,-
100000.
.The report quoted from a recon-
lmendation by w. H. Powell of Albu-
querque. He presented letters from
numerous eastern physicians, the re-
port said, many of whom recommend
ed Albuquerque as the site. The re-
port mentioned the position of DR..
Hugh Cummins, head of the public
health service, suggesting segrega-
ton as possible means of prevent
ing tuberculosis. The report recon-
mended that although complete seq
regation seemed too drastic, the farm
colony plan would partially meet DR..
Cummins' ideas.
The committee is expected to sub
NIT the report to the executive COM
mittee at meeting here tomorrow.

started by the late Enos Mills, Es.
tes Park, Colo, naturalist for unre-

court dismissing the states petition
10 restrain Roger wv. Toll superin-
tendent of the Rocky Mountain Ma
tiohal Park, from interfering with
the rights of citizens in the use Of

was filed after a conference between
Governor Morley Attorney General
Boatwright and Stephen. Governor
Morley announced after the confer
ence that he would submit to the
next legislature q measure to cedo
to the federal government the high
ways in the park.

in the park, would not be available
until Colorado had ceded to the fell
eral government exclusive jurisdiction
over the park.

who protested the action of the fed
eral government in granting eXclu-
sive transportation franchises within
the borders of the park to the Rocky
Mountain transportation company
