SCHATZ BACK FOR
HIS WINTER VISIT
AND CLIMATE. TONIC

Evidencing the facoo that Arizona
climate delights and that hospitality
of the ranches which entertain visi-
tors with accommodations for their
vacation please, j. w. Schatz, of Pough-
keepsie, N. Y, will arrive in Douglas
today on his way to Bar-O ranch
where he will pass his second winter
vaca ion. Mr.. = hatz came to Douglas
a year ago seeking an outing out on
the plains where he could get a first
hand experience in ranch life and the
great open spaces and he made his
headquarters at Bar-O.
The coming Of Schatz is a direct re-
suit of the Climate club publicity, it
w2s stated yesterday by George B.
Doubleday, secretary of the club When
he came here on his fir rrislt he had
never been In Douglas before Schatz
is a man OF large industrial interests
and is the president Of the Federal
Bearing corporation. He was SO we'll
pleased with his trip a year ago, in
cluding, as it did, fishing and hunting
trips into the mountains of Arizona,
similar trips in.o Old Mexico and his
golf and other anusenent5 including
horseback riding, that when hc started

may look for me back again" Today
he will make good his promise, accord
ing to telegraphic advices received by

ARM OF LAW IS
TENSE AS HUNT
GOES FORWA

The entire law enforcement or
ganization OF the Douglas district
which is made up OF q great many
units was out yesterday and last
night watching for Edward Hickman,
wanted for the horrible Los Angeles
murder.
Constable Gordon Newman led one
unit. Early on Tuesday morning ne,
accompanied by Deputy Sheriff Earl
Reed, gathered in two hoDos in the
railroad district. These men were not
the right size to cause suspicion but
one of them, upon being questioned,
told the officers that on Monday
night in Tucson he had encountered
a boy in the railroad yards who was
armed and who fitted the description
of Hickman very we'll
Constable Newman immediately
wired the Tucson authorities and
shortly afterward the report came
back that the man had been arrested
and that it was believed he was
Hickman. Deputy Reed notified the
sheriff at Tombstone who reported
back that he could do no more than
is being done as every train and every
automobile crossing the county is
now under the scrutiny OF officers.
Citizens of Douglas called police
yesterday TO check on strangers seen
at various places in the city. The
officers picked up numerous young
hoboS and checked them carefully.
Customs and immigration men along
the border fence, at the port and on
the highways were on the alert and
railroad detectives working out of the
local offices have "gone through"
every freight tram and also every
passenger train on the road. All
cars with California licenses are
stopped by officers.
1t is noted that the hobo and the
car driver respond quickly to the
summons of an arm OF the law
They realize that false moves or any
peculiar action are likely to bring
down upon them quick questions and
the possibility of rough handling
The nerves of the "law" are on edge
for they do not know, in stopping
suspicious characters. when one OF
them, be it Hickman or not, may
shoot at them.

Committeeman
HOLD ADMIRAL'S
CHARGES FALSE

WASHINGTON, Dec 81 R-The
question whether Rear Admiral
Thomas P. Magruder has proven his
charges OF over organization and
waste in naval administration de-
velcpe3 today Uo DC tinder box at
a house naval co:nmitFee hearing.
In the admiraPs presence several
committee members engaged in
short but a heated airing of their
personal opinions on what he had
told them.
Magruder who was rleposed as
commander OF the Philadelphia navy
yard after publishing his accusations,
had offered to leave the room, but
the members did not wait for that
and the sea fighter, who was cited
for bravery in the Spanish American
war; had to sit still and listen without
being able to fire q verbal gun in
his own defense.
Acting Chairman Britten of Illinois
started the warfare by declaring that
Magruder i'll five days had not given
the committee constructive Sug-
geStion
Il do not agree with that" inter
rupted Representative McClintic
democrat, Oklahoma. "You and only
one or two, other members have had
a chance to question ilim''
Representative Andrew, republican,
Massachusetts, agreed With IcClntic,
declaring he did not think Britten's
statement should go out in the
press.
Representative Winson of Georgia,
senior democratic member, who many
times has been the committee paci-
demanding that the discussion OF
Magruder's charges he postponed to
an executive session, behind closed
doors
Magruder, among other things.
argued that the number OF adnirals
should be reduced from 81 to AS.
and insisted that the navy should
stop using old ships that would be
Of no value in war He and Vinson
also cnqaged in a long discussion
over abolishing naval hospitals.
E Meanwhile in the house Repre-
sentative Black democrat New York,
introduced a resolution demanding
sweeping investigation of the whole
naval establishments He said that
'NGagrUder's attack" was timely and
that congress should inquire into the
navy before taking up the admins
tration's proposed $725,0OO,0O0 warship
construction program.
The inquiry should have for its
primary purpose, Black declared, the
working out OF ways and means for
protecting the lives of the navy per-
sonnel, increasing it's comparative
strength with that OF other nations,
and the building up OF private
merchant fleet under the American
flag.

SENDS
CHIEF BOWDEN
A DESCRIPTION

Chief of Police Percy Bowden has
received from Sheriff William l.
Traeger of Los Angeles county what
is believed to be an accurate de-
scription of Edward Hickman, the
fiend wanted for the murder of
Marian Parker.
1t is believed that this description
lis accurate because the Los Angeles
sheriff's office held this man last
summer, at which time he was
weighed and measured and described
as accurately as is humanity posi-
BILE
The description follows:
Edward Hickman, aged 20 years;
weight, 1O4 pounds; height, five
feet, four and One-haIf inches;
brown hair; hazel grey eyes;
well educated, carefully dressed,
very smart, not nervous, will use
aliases.
In connection with this description
it has been noted that the murder
suspect is young enough to. be grow
ing and that the basissSfor the sher-
ifs description is a check taken in
July. The youth might be some
what taller now than he was then
and heavier or lighter. There is,
however, little Indication that he is
over 20 years of age as the various
reports, some of which conflict some
what, all indicate that he was born
either in 1908 or 1910.

COURT ORDERS
TIE LEGISLATOR
HANDS in OKLA.

OKKLAHONIA CITY, Okla. Dec. .21
R-Two new court orders tonight
lent assistance to the efforts of Gov
ernor Henry S. Johnston to send
members of the legislature beseiging
his administration back to their
homes for Christmas.
Apparently convinced that the self
called impeachment session will make
no efforts in the immediate future
to meet at the capital, Adiutant
General Barrett tonight had with
drawn the last OF three units of
national guardsmen called out ten
days to prevent the house OF repre-
sentatives from meeting in it's cham
ber and receiving Impeachment
charges.
Both court orders throwing further
impediments in the path Of the inn
peachment session were iniilnctions.
A permanent injunction issued BY
District Judge T. G.. Chambers bars
the house members from attempting
to function further as a legally con-
vcned group, from continuing their
Investigations OF state officers, from
preparing any more impeachment
charges and from filing new charges
with the pretended court OF I'M
peachment." The second Injunction,
a temporary order issued by DISTRICT
Judge Sap1 Hooker, forbids members
to draw pay for their activities IN
the session.
Insurgent house leaders today show
ed no disposition to violate the in
functions although they had ignored
the temporary order issued by Judge
Chambers IN voting and filing inn
peachment charges against Governor
Johnston, Chief Justice Fred p Bran
son, of the state supreme court, and
Harry B. Cordell, president of the
state board OF agriculture.
The house leaders were silent as
to their future plans. E. p Fill
speaker of the house, said no an
nouncement would be made for the
present H. Tom Knight chairman
of the house investigating commit
tee, had said previously there was
a possibility that the self constituted
senate court would be asked to take
over the district court Injunction
cases on writs Of certiorari.
