COOLIDGE IS OUT, i BUTLER DECLARES
Columbia President Does Not
 Think He'll Run in 1928

New. York, Feb. 8 (UP)-Nicholas Murray Butler. president of Colum- bia university, in an address before the Riverside Republican club last night predicted that President Cool idge would not be a candidate for president in 1928.
 "One Of the presidents strongest characteristics, Butler said lis com mon sense. and common sense dic- tates this course"
 He disavowed any inside infor- nation but said that he, as "a work ing republican who is both a per sonal friend and political supporter of the president" was taking it for granted that Coolidge would not risk having the third term issue raised.
 Tho republican parts" he said, 'is going to have a hard enough time in 1928 without inviting certain defeat'' by injecting the third term issue into the campaign.
 The next successful candidate for the presidency must take stand against prohibition, Dr. Butler add ed. The 18th amendment has no place in the constitution" he said.
 The notion that either Governor Smith or Governor Ritchie, should he be the democratic candidate, can he defeated by the republican who is not openly opposed to prohibition Is quite groundless." the Columbia president continued. For the first time since 1884, it seems likely that the presidential election will be set tied in 1928 by the vote of the city of New York"
 Dr. Butler also spoke of farm re- lief and foreign affairs. Tt will not do simply to say that the farm prob- lem will solve itself if left alone,' he said. "There is no sign that this is true.
 "The great agricultural states have in the past been almost uniformly republican in national elections. There are pretty positive signs that this will not be the case in 1928 if the republican party has neither ean- didates nor platform with any ap- preciation of the gravity of these questions and of the large number of

Gripping aches quickly relieved
 by simple home remedy

Freed from the crippling pain of neuritis after having tried various treatments without getting relief, a well-known business man of Cincin- nati, Ohio, writes:
 Following influenza I was seized with violent attack of neuritis in the right arm and shoulder. I got no relief until l tried Sloan's Liniment. The affected arm and shoulder were shortly restored to healthy con- dition and all pain and symptoms dis appeared"
 Sloan's gives real relief because it doesn't just deaden the pain. It gets at the cause.

c. B. WILSON TALKS OF
LAWYERS, DIR. COTTON
OF DUDES AT ROTARY

Lawyers and the legal profession
was the theme of G. B. Wilson, chair
man at Tuesdays Rotary meeting,
And he didn't roast his fellow gratis
men at all; indeed, rather intimated
that the majority of them are noble
members of a noble profession
C. BIS talk was interesting. He had
five local attorneys and one from
Oklahoma as guests and they took no
exception to what he said about the
profession. Knowing lawyers love
for objecting, this indicates that what
he said was true.
The American Bar association
adopted strong code of ethics many
years ago. Most lawyers conscien-
tiously try to live up to it.
Speaking about the prejudice in the
minds of some against lawyers, Mr..
Wilson asked that all present who
were prejudiced against them stand.
Everyone except the lawyers prompt
ly stood Then Sergeant-at-Arms
Tommy Knoles was directed to col
lect a fine from each. He did.
There are three different popular
conceptions of lawyers, Mr.. Wilson
said. That they are human and re-
spectacle, that they are necessary
evils, that they are necessarily evil.
There are some crooks in the pro-
fession But in no other profession
or calling is the temptation so great.
Often a lawyer is asked by some in
fluential, respected member of his
community to do something crooked.
But though the temptations are
great, the percentage of crooks is
very small.
A San Francisco firm dealing with
lawyers exclusively had its plant and
all its records destroyed by the earth
quake Though it had no record of
and could not prove a debt against
anyone of its thousands of lawyer
debtors throughout the United States,
a circular letter telling them so and
asking them to consult their own rec
ords in a short time brought in $685.
600 of the estimated 100000 in out
standing accounts. The concern abb
solved all San Francisco attorneys,
themselves sufferers, from payment
Yet many of them insisted on pay
ing.
There is much csiIism Of lawyers
because of their defense Of criminals,
the speaker said. But such critics do
not understand that the associations

quires lawyers to defend criminals 1t

Local Garage Instals
New Tire Vulcanizers

The installation of the latest equip
ment for tire vulcanizing was CONF
pleted at Webber Brothers garage
this week and is now in operation,
The new outfit is heated by electricity
and is the only one of its kind in
Flagstaff. The equipment has been
installed in a room by itself in the
front of the garage and the depart
ment is to be devoted exclusively to
tire repair work. Hugh Tillman has
charge of it.
The equipment is designed to vul-
canize inside and outside of castings
from the smallest high-pressure tc
the big balloons. Besides casing re-
pair work there is a special electric
vulcanizer which handles inner tubes
at the rate of three to five minutes
for each patch" All together there
are seven individual pieces of equip
ment. Kenneth Webbcr, one of the
proprietors, says electricity is much
faster and more easily controlled thar
in the cooking" process.

REGULAR SESSION OF
SUPERIOR COURT WILL
CONVENE ON JULY II

Regular session of the Coconino
county superior court has been called
by Judge j. E. Jones for Monday, July
IL. The late spring session of court
which is usually called the latter part
of May, was postponed by Judge Jones
awaiting decisions on several cases,
two of the most Importance being the
Holbrook bank case and the decision
of the state supreme court on the mo-
ton for a retrial of the Sloan Burgen
murder case.
Tom NJ. Quebedeaux and B. B. Neill,
both of Holbrook, will probably be
tried in the Coconino county superior
court at the coming session in connec-
tion with the failure of the Bank of
Holbrook The trial is brought to this
county on change Of venue, but will
not be tried until several points of
law have been settled In case the
court decides the law in favor of the
defendants the charges against them
likely will be dismissed. The two men
were indicted by the grand jury OF
Navajo county in the spring OF 1876,
the indictments covering receiving
deposits after a bank became lnsolv-
ent and other charges.
Sloan Burgen will be given a re-
trial for the murder Of Joe Cans un-
less his case is dismissed by County
Attorney Frank M. Gold. Burgen was
sentenced to life's Imprisonment last
July by the superior court but the
Judgment was reverse by the state SUI
preme court because the local court
had failed to allow evidence estab-
fishing the relationships between the
two men proceeding the killing of
Cans.
Several minor cases will be heard,
mostly violations of the 18th amend
ment. Jim McCann will be tried on
two separate counts of liquor deal
ing and Mary Beceril on charge Of
selling. Several charges against
various Williams bootleggers will also
be heard. Henry Sorrell of Williams

uting to the delinquency of minor
child. Sorrell is charged with hiring

Bank Bandit and Murderer Caught
In Grand Canyon Yesterday After
Gun Fight With Sheriff Parsons

Matthew Kimes, bank rObber
and murderer, was captured at
Grand Canyon, this county, yes
terday afternoon, following a
thrilling fifteen-minute battle
with Sheriff John Parsons of
Flagstaff, and his escape into
Grand Canyon where two armed
men subdued him about two
hours later.
1t is one of those stories that should
take many hours in the writing, so
full of action was the short interval
between the time Parsons, in an auto
mobile with Kimes, had to fight for
his life, and the subsequent surrender
of the latter 800 feet below Grand
Canyons rim at the points of rifles
leveled by Curley Ennis and George
Cravey.
That John Parsons is alive today
after his terrible battle with a young
er desperate man, careless of human
life and bent only on his own escape,
is mostly sheer good luck.
And that a desperate deep-laid plot
of five killer-bandits to loot the road
payroll at Grand Canyon this week
was not carried out is due to the sep
aration following a series Of Okla
homa and Texas bank robberies of
the bandit gang and their failure to
get together in time to carry out
their plan.
There were two others "a man and
a woman-Mr and Mrs. G. H. Ready,
arrested at Grand Canyon following
Kimes' arrest. He was travelling with
them. All three were brought to Flag
staff this morning at two. The fol-
lowing detailed story is compiled from
answers by the three to questions put
to them by a representative of The
Sun and facts given by Sheriff Par
sons, Curley Ennis and Bert Lauzon.

Sloan Burgen Brought
Back For New Trial

Sloan Burgen, colored, was brought
back from the state penitentiary Sun
day afternoon by Sheriff J. o. Par
sons for a retrial in superior court
following a reversal by the state SUI
preme court of the life Imprisonment
sentence.
Burgen was sentenced last June for
shooting and killing Joe Cans, also
colored, near the Flagstaff Lumber
company mill early in the spring. He
was angered at the attentions Cans
was paying Mrs. Burgen.
The supreme court in reversing the
decision ruled that the superior court
Of Coconino county erred in refusing
to admit testimony as to previous diff
ficulties between the two parties.
Due to Burgen's good character and
the fact that he had never been in
trouble preceding that with Cans it is
thought by many that he will not be
tried aagin. If the case is again
heard the unwritten law will be
strongly presented by the defense.

THREE PAINFULLY HURT
CAR CROWDED OFF ROAD

Mrs. w. H. Robinette is suffering
with several broken ribs and her hus-
band from minor injuries received
early Sunday morning when their
Nash touring car was crowded off the
road five miles this side of Williams
by another car.
That both Mr.. and Mrs Robinette
and E. C. Mcdonald, who had accom-
panied them to Williams to attend a
dance, were not more seriously hurt
or killed was because Mr.. Robinette
was driving slowly. Even SO, the ap-
preaching car hurled itself down the
middle of the road toward them SO
that there was nothing to do but turn
off the road, they said.
Mrs Robinette, who was asleep on
the back seat, was thrown against the
front seat, breaking several ribs and
knocking her unconscious. Several
passing cars refused to stop, but
finally they were taken back to Viii
iams by Joe Kellam. There DR.. P.
A. Melick attended to their injuries
and they stayed at the Harvey house
until Sunday evening, when they
came home by train.
The car was badly damaged by
rocks at the side of the road.
Mr.. Robinette is a Santa Fe civil
engineer in charge of rail replacing
east of here Mr.. Mcdonald, week
end guest at the Robinette apartment
at Mrs. Amy Lovell's, is assistant en-
gineer on Santa Fe work near Houck.

F. P. FOX, FOUNDER OF
FOXBOR0 PREP RANCH,
AND FAMILY ARRIVE

Frederick P. Fox, principal owner
of Foxboro Prep Ranch, and Mrs.
Fox and five children arrived Friday
from their home in New York city.
The children went at once to the
ranch, Mr.. and Mrs. Fox remaining a
few days al Hotel Monte Vista await
ing the arrival Of their automobile.
They were met here by Frank Gy-
berg, director of the Prep ranch.
Mr.. and Mrs. Fox are ardent in
their love for Arizona and especially
the section around Flagstaff, and
take a keen interest in recent develop
ments and others proposed.
Quite a number Of boys from the
east have arrived and have begun
their outdoor study at the ranch
the school opened on Monday-and
more are due in few days.
Mr.. Fox unhesitatingly says that
the school is entirely an experiment,
and that many parents prefer sending
their boys to Europe to be polished
off" to sending them out here to
learn to ride, take care of themselves
in the woods and on the range, study
ing geology, astronomy and such ma
ture things as that. He believes that
they would almost invariably benefit
far more in the directed work and
study planned for them here than in
the enervating and character weaken
ing surroundings the sons of rich men
find in European capitals.
Mr.. Fox is wealthy. While inter
ested in various enterprises, he has
retired sufficiently from active busi-
ness to be able to spend his time
pretty much as he likes. Northern
Arizona has meant so much TO his
health-he has asthma-that his sem
timent for it and its scenic beauties
and wonderful climate is stronger
than it otherwise would be. He was
influenced in financing Foxboro
Prep Ranch partly by his love for this
country, though underlying is his be-
lief that the institution should pay its
own way, which, he believes, most in
stitutions for the benefit OF. mankind
should do, at least to a large extent.
Mrs. McColgan, nurse, accompanied
the Fox family. Mr.. McColgan will
arrive later.
There are tour boys and one girl in
the family, the eldest Is. Mrs. Fox
laughingly contrasted their coming to
Arizona with the Coolidges going to
South Dakota. They took coon or
some animal like that and some other
animal with them. eve brought five
little Foxes with u.s." she said.
