.OWEN'SBUFFALO
HERD REPORTED
DOING NICELY

FLAGSTAFF, Dec. 20. = Word
was received here recently by Joe
B. Rickel, Clerk of the board of
supervisors, that "Uncle Jimmie
Owens herd of buffalo are in no
danger from the recent cold spell
in the country north of Freedonia
where Owens has his buffalo on
pasture.
Coconino county holds an option
on the herd which, it is said, will
expire some time next spring. D.
E. Pettis, state game warden, has
recently been paying Owens 500
month to keep the option alive.
The purchase price of the herd has
been set at $4,000 with a guaran-
tee that eighty head be delivered
to Coconino county at the time the
deal is consummated. When
Owens originally made this agree
ment with the Coconino county
board of supervisors there were 80
head in the herd. However in the
last Calling of the herd fourteen
young buffalo were added. Four
of these young calves were brought
to Flagstaff for the Days of 49,
celebration but have since been
moved to the Mesa zoo for the
winter. One of the young calves
died this fall and he had to kill off
four of the old bulls. Owens still
has enough buffalo in the herd to
make good on his delivery and
enough to throw in for good meas
ure.
Owens has been selling the baf-
falo heads to buyers in the east
and he told Mr.. Rickel that the de-
mand for his heads far exceed
what few he has each year.
1t is expected that Gov. Hunt in
his message to the next legisla-
ture will include the purchase of
the buffalo herd by the state game
department.

FALL-SINCLAIR
CASE DECISION
DUE THURSDAY

WASHINGTON, Dec. 81 (AP)-
Justice Jennings Bailey of the
District of Columbia supreme
court today took under advisement
q defense motion to- quash the
Tea Pot Dome criminal conspiracy
indictments against Albert b. Fall
former secretary of the interior
and Harry F. Sinclair, lessee Of the
Wyoming naval oil reserve.
After hearing argument on the
motion for two hours Justice Bail
ey advised counsel his ruling
would be rendered Thursday morn
ing. He instructed the defendants
to be present in court then, indi-
eating that the next step in the
proceeding might be expected as
sooon as his ruling on the motion
is considered.
The next move, in the usual
course, in the event the motion is
denied, would be the formal ar
raignment and the setting of a
trial date.
The defense argument by Martin
w. Littleton, of New York and
George P. Hoover, of Washington,
in behalf of Sinclair, and by Levi
Cook, of Washington, for Fall, at
tackled the indictments as the out
growth of unusual legal proceed
ings initiated in the Senate when
it was under the spell of the "hys-
terra" of the oil Investigations.
The prosecution position, as de-
fined by Owen J. Roberts and AT
lee Pomerene, special government
counsel, was that the motion was
"unQuestionably a dilatory move.
William E. Leahy, a Washington
attorney, was admitted today as
counsel of record for Fall. Will
ton ]. Lambert, who with Cook
and Mark B. Thompson, of New
Mexico, represented the former
cabinet officer in the Fall-Doheny
trial, which resulted in an acquit-
tai last Thursday, are still attor-
neys of record in the present case
although Lambert was not in court
today.

Winter Wheat
Acreage Shows
New Increase

WASHINGTON, Dec. 81 (AP)-
Winter wheat which furnishes
about two thirds of the total Uni
ted States wheat production, has
been sown on slightly increased
acreage this autumn but it's con-
dition is somewhat under average.
The area soWn was estimated to-
day at 41,807,000 acres by the de-
partment of agriculture There is
about 100000 acres, or five per
cent more than sOWn last autumn.
The condition of the crop on De-
cember /, was 81.8 per centA of a
normal as compared with a ten
year average of 84.4 per cent.
Farmers had intended to plant
a somewhat larger acreage, as in
dicated by their reports on August
l, but were prevented by rains, by
drought and in one state, by scar
city of seed and inability to buy it..
The low price of cotton however,
caused the conversion Of some cot
ton acreage into that of winter
wheat. Texas has sown 25 per cent
more than year ago; Georgia 80
per cent and South Carolina 35
per cent. Kansas, which has more
than one fourth of the country's
total area, increased sowings five
per cent.
Sowing was SO delayed in some
states by rains or drought, or by
cotton picking, that some of the
wheat plants, the department said,
enter the winter poorly prepared
to stand it's rigors.
Winter wheat sowings a year ago
totalled 39,799,000 acres, Of which
36,913,000 were harvested, produc-
ing 626,929,0O0 bushels or an aver
age acre yield of II bushels.

i. S. Agricultural
Supply Bill Is
Passed By House

WASHINGTON, Dec 81 (AP)-
The agricultural department sup
ply bill, appropriating $128,000,000
for it's activities during the next
fiscal year was passed today by
the House and sent to the Senate.
The bill, the third appropriation
measure to pass the House, went
through with it's major provisions
intact. 1t provides nearly $80,000,
900 for maintenance of federal aid
highway systems and millions more
for the departments campaign
against destructive crop pests.
In addition, it provides for Gre
alton of two bureaus to separate
research and regulatory laborator-
les of the chemistry and soil di-
visions of the department.
Only three amendments were ac-
cepted by the House, all sponsored
by Representative Buchanan Of
Texas, ranking Democrat on the
appropriations subcommittee in
charge of the measure. One of
them, providing for Investigations
of the cotton root pest, raised the
bills total $17,500.
The other amendments would di-
rect the department to issue re-
ports on the length of cotton as
we'll as grades by color and to
abolish the mid-month reports dur
ing July, August, and November
on bale production estimates.
The latter amendment was
adopted with almost solid support
from cotton states. 1t was oppos
ed by only Representatives Ran
kin, Democrat, Mississippi, who
contended abolishment of the re-
ports would tend to leave the cot
ton grower at the mercy of specu-
lators.

COL. NED GREEN
FREED BY JURY
In LIQUOR CASE

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, Dec. 21
(AP)-Colonel Ned NJ. Green, for
mer Federal prohibition admins
traitor here, was acquitted by a
jury in the United States district
court today on a charge of embez-
zling confiscated government liqu-
or stores.
The jury went out at Ait p. m.
and reported at ABB p, m. that it
had reached a verdict "a Judge,<A.
F. st. Sure was sent for and the
clerk of the court read the verdict
Of acquittal.
The jury not only exhOnorated
Colonel Green on the eight counts
remaining in the Indictment but on
the three additional counts that
were dismissed during the trial,
giving the colonel a "clean slate"
Theodore j. Roche, chief defense
counsel, announced Immediately
after the verdict he would tele
graph to General Lincoln Andrews
in Washington, asking that Colo
mel Green be reinstated as federal
dry administrator so that the colo
mel may resign with clean re-
cord.
When the verdict was returned
there was a demonstration in the
courtroom that had to be suppress
sed by the bailiffs.
The jurors crowded around the
defense counsel table and congratu-
lated Colonel Green and the defen-
Sc attorneys. They were in the
midst of this when Judge st. Sure
remarked: "We must stop this
now. Let us not have any re-
ception committees here.
Colonel Green said later that he
might accept reappointment at the
hands of General Andrews if con-
ditions demanded it "but the whole
thing is poison to me now.
The courtroom was cleared a few
minutes after the verdict was re-
turned.

CHICAGO, Dec. Il (AP)-Wheat
prices advanced sharply today with
buying much more active than of
late, and with offerings scarce
Milling demand for cash wheat at
a premium over future deliveries
counted as a stimulating factor and
SO, too, did the unexpected bullish
showing of the government report
regarding production both of win
ter and spring wheat.
Closing quotations on wheat
were strong, l IL to 3 SIS cents
net higher, corn ga to l IL to
5S cents up, oats unchanged to
IA off and provisions varying
from ten cents decline to rise of
20 cents.
Virtually the tip-top prices for
the day prevailed in the wheat
market at the finish. December
delivery led the advance. Bear
forces found themselves at a dis
advantage right from the outset,
commission house buying soon be-
general as a result of overnight
study of the government crop fig
ures. Previous sellers of Decem-
Der especially turned buyers and
were obliged to bid the market up,
with talk current meanwhile that
Minneapolis were aggressively pur-
chasing future deliveries and that
Chicago appeared to be the cheap
est market for futures.
Unusual strength in the rye
market contributed to the upward
swing of wheat values, rye scor-
ing net gains of 3 rs cents a
bushel today in some cases. Ger
man advices were bullish as to rye
and some new export business in
rye was noted, together with a
much broader inquiry. The United
States government crop as to rye
was constructed as decidedly bull
ish. On the other hand, new ex-
port demand today for North AM
erican wheat seemed to be at a
standstill for the moment.
Corn and oats rallied on account
of the strength of bread grains.
Disappointment of bulls regard
ing government figures on corn
and oats touched new high rec
ord for the season.
Provisions averaged lower, SYM
pathizing with hog values Be
sides, cash trade in provisions was
reported slow.

Regular Army
Men Underfed,
Veteran Says

NEW YORK, Dec. 21 (AP)-The
United States army was pictured
today by Brig. Gen. Henry j. Riel-
ly, Rainbow division war veteran,
as demoralized group of under
fed and unhappy men, trooping de-
Jectedly across the military scene
on aged, under nourished nags and
living in shacks unfit for habita-
ton.
American soldiers, he said, are
dieserting at the rate Of more thar
"a 600 every month in protestag ganst
being made the victims of exces-
sive governmental economy.
In an article entitled Our Crum-
bling National Defense" in the
January number Of the Century
magazine, issued today, General
Reilly said the country's defense
is in a precorious condition due to
ECONOMY measures of the past six
years.
The man power of the army, he
wrote, has been cut from the 297,-
700 officers and men provided for
| in the national defense act of 1920
to a total of 121 200, and that the
contemplated strength of the ma
tional guard under the same act
has been reduced from 454,600 to
174,270.
Definite retrogression,' he con-
tinued, has set in our military es-
tablishment, both in material and in
morale. Owing to existing condi-
tlons nearly $4,000 men deserted
from the army last year and many
others, seeing their chances of pro-
motion gone, are taking their dis
charges. The regular army off
GERS, discouraged over the state of
affairs, are beginning to lose heart.
The American soldiers today, in
the midst Of national prosperity, is
being fed with a lighter ration and
less variety than before the war.
His horse, if he is mounted, is Civ
en- less forage, and in the artillery
his mules are underfed.
"Of 40,100 horses and mules in
the regular army this year, the
average age of over 10000 is II
years. The excessive age of the
animals renders them unfit for Wig
orous drills or marches.
In majority of cases. the Of
ficerS and men of our army are
living in tumbledown wooden
shacks, built as temporary struc-
lures when we entered the war 10
years ago. Frequently they must
go into their own pockets if their
quarters are to be made comfort
able"

NEW YORK, Dec. 81 (AP)-Cop-
market slowed up considerably to-
day with reactionary price tenden:
cies still predominant. The sud
den waning of speculative enthu-
siasm was somewhat of disap-
pointment to professional opera
tors who attributed it to the ap-
prOach of the Christmas holiday,
the prospect of firm call money
rates over the year-end and the
sharp increase in brokers' loans
last week.
Declaration of 25 percent stock
dividend by the Otis Elevator Co.
was in accordance with Wall street
expectations, the stock closing
IA points lower on the day. Mod
crate recessions also took place in
such recent favorites as U. S.
Steel. common, Allied Chemical,
Baldwin, American Can, American
Smelling, Chrysler and Warner
Pictures, but the selling did not ap-
pear to represent anything more
than the correction Of a weakened
technical position in those stocks.
Various Pools Active
Pools were again active in a
number of stocks with promising
merger dividend possibilities Col
Inns and Aikman, Dawson Chemi-
cal. international cement, Madison
and Universal Pipe all showed net
gains of 2 or more points on the
day. According to some Of the
large commission houses, the buy
ing for the account of small trad
ers and investors was confined
largely to high grade dividend pay
ing rails and industrials.
Occasional attempts of floor
traders to unsettle the list by ham
mering supposedly vulnerable
stocks encountered strong resist
ance, indicating the presence of a
strong underlying demand. With
hundreds of millions of dollars
still to be distributed in year-end
dividend and interest payments,
spectators for the advance strove
valiantly to maintain interest in is
sues sponsored by them, which
probably explains the large crop
of rumoFs in circulation.

the publication of bullish govern
ment crop report, featured the
commodity markets. Cotton fu-
lures were steady in quiet trading.
