Senator Akers, Maricopa county, on
the floor of the senate yesterday. The
Maricopa senator presented his views
to his colleagues without formally
moving for the drawing up of me-
mortal, and his suggestions were not
acted on prior to yesterdays adjourn

The action of the senate was predl-

Arizona executive of the support of

however, was non-committaL
The letter from State Senator Pat
tersoQ, made public today said he had
observed your stand with reference
to the Colorado river compact and feel
that the position you take is the only
tenable one Accompanying the letter
were copies of a brief submitted to
Governor Dern upon the right of the
state to the river bed. The brief at
tackled the six-state pact, declaring
that "a legislature without constitu-
ional authority canot renounce, sell
or barter away the sovereign property
of the state or property held by the
state for the benefit of it's citizens.
"The distribution of the water under
the terms of the pact" the brief con-

disadvantage to upper basin states,
especially Utah"
The Whnsor memorial recited the
history of negotiations among the up
per and lower basin states looking to-
ward an agreement for Colorado river
development, opining that:
"The concurrent effort to force upon
the sovereign state of Arizona, at least
in effect, the provisions of the Colo
RADIO compact, through the medium OF
a six-state pact, to which it is not a
party, and through the medium of the
so-called Swing-Johnosn bill to bring
so-called Swing johnson bill to bring
'six-state pacr,' strongly smacks of
coercion; that it. is in violation and

of uprisings in the interior of the
country.
The Whereabouts of Bishop Diaz
secretary of the Catholic episcopate
still remains mystery. The bishop
was reported to have been ordered
sent out of the country after he was
arrested on Monday and since that
time nothing definite as to his posi-
ton or his whereabouts has become
known. Catholic leaders, concerned
ever the bishop, express the fear
that many Mexican priests may be
banished from their native land on
charges of rebellion against the gov
eminent, it having been charged that
the episcopate was responsible for
the resent series of risings against
the authorities.
Some American business interests
regard with apprehension the pro-
rosals by LaNn-Ameriean societies
of Mexico City for a boycott
throughout Spanish America of goods
from the United States as a protest
against the policy of the United
States in Nicaragua. Thus far there
are no tangible evidences here that
such boycott is in effect or even
that 1T will so any farther than the
fiery speeches advocating it.
prominence was given by the
newspapers today to Senator Borah's
speech, which well-informed persons
who are close to the government hail
as heartening for Mexico.
AS for the situation arising from
the new OIL and land laws, the gov
ernments next move is not Indicated.
Attorney General Ortega has re
ceived from the department of in
dutry report on foreign oil COM
panies which have not applied under
the new law for concessions con-
firming oil land Fights they acquired
before 1917, when the present MeNi-
can constitution became effective.
There has been nothing to show
whether Senior Ortega will order
such properties confiscated or merely
take such action as would throw the
into Mexican courts
thereby possibly postponing the final
decision for some time.

WASHINGTON, Jan. II. - up = Dis

Ncaraguan question ran all the way
today from a possible break with Mex

newed attacks on the government for
its policy in Nicaragua and it's con-

America.
Declaring the real danger" in Mex

Eaton said the United States cannot

He protested against the attempt
now being made by certain politicians
in and out of the house to create a
partisan issue out of the present sit

Representative Huddleston, demo-

The luncheon was acclaimed a big
success by everyone present. Barbe-
cueda beef and pork, roasted Irish and
sweet potatoes, bread, butter, pickles,
cakes and coffee were on the menu.
Although it required more than two
hours for the double lines of men to
