SMUGGLING OF
AMMUNITION is
BEING WATCHED
IN 1,,snatcl, 2 wirea

NOGALES, Feb. 3.--The smuggling
of ammunitien across the interna-
tionaI boundary here is receiving
the, serious attention of both MeXi-
can and> United States officials.
Three persons have been arrested
following the discovery of a taxicab
carrying 1900 rounds of ammuni-
ton across the line last night A
fourth arrest was made today when
customs officials found man on
his way to the interior carrying 80
boxes of ammunition strapped to his
person by a special harness. He is
being held at the customs house un-
der guard pending the filing of a
formal complaint and his name was
not given out.
Laura Bojorquez, Jose Hernandez
and Pedro Miranda were arrested in
connection with the ammunition
smuggling discovered last night. The
two men are declared to have en-
tered pleas of not guilty to q charge
of revolt completely, declaring that
they were unaware of the cargo be-
ing carried in the taXicab. Emery
Chalfant, deputy United States mar
shal, is here to conduct an inquiry
into the situation. He declared that
his Information revealed only 1900
rounds of ammunition smuggled in
stead of 1900 but a check at the
office of the Mexican commanders
office confirmed the larger figure.
Military officials in Nogales, So
nora, are reticent about giving out
information regarding the smuggling
and the customs head was mot to be
interviewed on the situation.
Many close to the situation be-
lieye that the munitions movement
is closely connected with an antici-
pated revolutionary move. TT is
known that two men registered at
a Nogales hotel, and suspicioned of
being rebel generals have been ques-
toned by the authorities.
Special detachments of mounted
soldiers also have been assigned to
aid the Mexican border patrol to
stamp out the smuggling.

Blackburn Guilty;

sner, Miguel BernaL The case went
following a final plea for conviction
Of first degree murder and exaction
of the death penalty by Ralph Bilby,
assistant county attorney.
The entire afternoon was spent by
Fred C. Struckmeyer chief of de-
fense counsel in his plea for ac-
quittal and night session of court
was necessary to hear the closing
argument of the state.
Struckmeyer made dramatic plea
for his client and fought inch by
inch to contravert the testimony Of
the Apache Indians, principal witt
nesscs against Blackburn. They tes-
titled that the death struggle be-
tween Blackburn and .Bernal took
place on the highway south of Rice.
Sttruckmeyer based his argument on
the inability of the Indians to see
what they testified to on the witness
stand. The alleged details of the af-
fair We're enacted by the chief de-
fense counsel in an attempt to depict
the alleged duel when Blackburn is
accused of beating Bernal and finally
crushing Bernal's skull with a rock,
topping the body over the bank and
pushing an automobile over after it
to give the appearance of an automo-
bile accident. During the argument
Struckmeyer was on the floor many
times, wrestling an imaginary oppo-
nent. Jesse Udall, Graham county
attorney, made the first argument to
the jury this morning. He said that
verdict of guilty of murder in the
first degree was the only logical de-
oision that could be reached from the
evidence and he asked that the death
penalty be exacted.
Udall was followed by Lynn Laney
of Phoenix, of the defense counsel,
who attacked the testimony of the
Apache Indians, who declared they
saw Blackburn kill Bernal and he
said that insurance companies were
behind the prosecution of the de-
fendant.

HOT DEBATE ON
DEBT FUNDING
IN THE SENATE
(By Dlspatcn A. P. mirei

WASHINGTON, Feb. "a heated
debate over the foreign debt settle-
ments flared up in the senate during
discussion of the tax bill, when Sem
ator Howell, republican, Nebraska,
charged that the agreements amount
ed virtually to cancellation of the
war obligations.
Chairman Smoot of the finance
committee, a member Of the American
debt commssion, retorted that in ev-
cry case the agreements specifically
provided for both principal and in
terest payments and that the amounts
to be paid had been ,determind on
basis of eadlI nations ability to
pay.
Senator Howell contended that,
computing interest on the foreign
debts at the rate this government is
paying on its bonds the interest on
the British debt during the first year
under the funding agreement should
be more than $2O0,OOO,0OO, yet its ac-
tual payment in interest and princi-
pal was fixed at $780, 100000 for the
period
The accuracy of hts figures based
on the higher interest rate was chal-
lenged by Srmoot who asserted that
'if the senator would use six per
cent interest rate, he could make the
matter look much worse" and that
''if he computed it on that basis, he
could make it appear that We are
actually giving these countries a
lot of money
The Nehra ska senator a1So charged.
that the debt commission did not fol-
low the principle of funding debts
on the ability of nations to pay, as
serting that Poland had been given
virtually the same terms that were
accorded Great Britain This also,
was denied by Senator Smoot, who
said that Poland was given much
more liberal terms on first pay
ments.
