SHOWERS
FALL STEADILY
in this AREA

April is following close upon the
heels of March throughout Cochise
county in the matter of establishing
a record for heavy precipitation.
Records at the reduction works of
the Copper Queen smelter for the
present month state that nearly
three-quarters of an inch of rain has
fallen in the Douglas section al
ready. Up until noon Tuesday, the
exact figure was go of an inch and
this was improved upon by later
showers.
The heavy series of electrical
storms which struck this city early
Tuesday morning and continued in
termittently throughout yesterday,
had dumped a quarter of an inch of
precipitation in Douglas up until
about o'clock last night. The fig
ure obtained at the reduction works
at noon Tuesday was exactly "a of
an inch for the storm which started
early Tuesday morning.
Sharp lightning and heavy thunder
accompanied the initial showers early
yesterday morning while the rainfall
at times was so heavy that it al
most deadened the ear drums. Later
in the day the rain fell more steadily
and slowly.
March of this year topped all rec
ords since 1905 when the rainfall was
about two and three-quarters inches.
The total precipitation last month,
however, as recorded at the reduc-
tion works, was about 1853 inches.

OF
BROW-BEATINC
IN BUTLER CASE
(By Dispatch A. P. wirel


MARINE BASE, SAN DIEGO, April
13.-Intimations that Brigadier GEN
eral Butler attempted to brow beat
subordinate officers into submitting
written statements supporting the
charge of intoxication lie brought
against Colonel Alexander S. Williams
last month came out in the closing
hours of testimony at today's ses-
sion of the colonels court martial.
The question of what, if any, pres
sure was brought to bear on the Of
ficers of General Buffers command
developed during the prosecution's S
attempt to impeach a defense wit
ness. This witness, Captain George
F. Stokes, adjutant of the fourth reg
iment Of marines, had testified on
direct examination that he was at
the Hotel Del Coronado on the hight
of March 6, last, when Colonel Will
liams is alleged to have been drunk
and that he noticed nothing unusual
about the coloners behavior. He ad-
mitted that out on the hotel grounds
a little later he noticed the colonel
was unsteady on his feet and sick
enough or intoxicated enough to be
unfit Tor duty.
Upon hearing this admission the
judge advocate, Captain Leo Permle,
produced a written statement and
asked the witness. if he recognized it
as one he had submitted to General
Butler.
Captain Stokes said he recognized
the statement as his own. Captain
Permle thereupon launched an at
tempt to impeach the witness, de-
claring his admission that Colonel
williams was sick or intoxicated,
contradicted flat assertion in the
written statement to the effect that
the colonel appeared to be perfectly
normal.
Defense counsel, objected vigorously
to admission of the written state
ment as evidence, citing sections of
naval law frowning upon the prac-
tice of subordinates making written
statements bearing on the guilt or
innocence of any one at the behest of
their superiors.
Captain Stokes explained that the
reason his statement appeared to con-
tradict his testimony of today was
that when General Butler ordered
him to prepare the statement he un-
derstood the general to mean state
ment confined to what happened in
the ball room of the Hotel del Coro-
nado."
So, he said, he did not mention
what he noticed outside, on the
grounds of the hotel
What helped him to be careful, he
added, was the fact that when Of
ficers present at the hotel on the
night in question first submitted
their written statements to General
Butler the statements were handed
back to them with the remark You

the stomach Of the late General Angel
Flores, aspirant to the presidency Of
Mexico in 1924. by doctors and profess
sors. who conducted the examination
at Itosales college in Culiacan, it was
announced here today.
Because the laboratory equipment
there is CO ,.sdered inadequate to make
definite conclusions regarding the gen.

was said, and the results of that in
quest will be made public Immediate

There is much comment in the press
and on the street about the generals
death which, rumor says. was caused
by poisoning at the instigation of his
political enemies.
Attorney Ramon Sanchez Alveron,
president of the National Syndicate
of Agriculture, in statement to the
press, says he is convinced Flores met
his death through slow poisoning.
The Rosales school could not classi-
fly the second substance reported
The prosecuting attorney has an
nounced that he would appoint rep

rently on the assumption that the

PEGGY JOYCE IS
TO We'd WEALTHY
MIAMI RESIDENT
(By Dispatch A. P. wirel

MIAMI, Fla, April 13. Peggy
Joyce is about to stage her fifth
matrimonial venture, this time with
Stanford E. Comstock, wealthy Miami
real estate man, in the roll of hus-
band.
The exact date has not yet been
set, but Peggy limited that the we'd
ding might take place before she
sailed for Europe on May 1 to begin
work on her next picture.
Eyes, I'm engaged she said to-
day, 'and here's my fiancee, Stan
Comstock. I can't see how my little
engagement would be of any interest
to the public though"
This will be the second time Miss
Joyce has honeymooned in Miami. A
few years ago she came here as the
bride of James Stanley Joyce, re-
ceiving a $25O,O0O home as we'd
ding present. She lost the home
when the venture went on the rocks.
The first person to be cast as
husband was Everett A. Archibald,
who eloped withthe Virginia barber s
daughter, who was 16. The marriage
was annulled six months later. Then
came Phil Brick Hopkins, attorney
and representative of marine, oil and
mining interests. A divorce brought
a reorganization, and James Stanley
Joyce into the scene. Another dl-
vorce and she became the Countess
Costa Morner De Moreland, the wife
of a Swedish nobleman. That ven
ture ended only recently with a di-
vorce.
