Is Not Unexpected


 The decision of the President was not altogether unexpected. as he had been advised several days ago by leaders of both the Senate and House that a major ity of the Republican members were adverse to an early session, and that Senate Republicans saw nothing to be gained by calling special session of that body alone.
 On the day following MT. Cool idge's return to Washington from his summer vacation, Senator Curtis, Kansas, and Represents tive Tilson. Connecticut, leaders of the majority in the Senate and House respectively were sum- moned by him to the White House for a conference on the proposal to call special session.

NO NECESSITY FOR CONGRESS
 MEETING NOW
President Definitely Against Special Term New Con-
 gress, Announced
NO PRESSING NEEDS
 FOR FLOOD MEASURES
House and Senate Leaders Inform Coolidge Major
 ity Against Proposal

WASHINGTON. D. G., Sept.
 20. = President Coolidge has
 definitely decided against
 calling a special session of
 Congress. This was made
 known today at the White
 House, the announcement
 ending all discussion as to
 the urgency of the need for
 an early meeting of the new
 Congress.
 Two main reasons had been advanced for calling a special session which, earlier this sum- mer, was urged by prominent leaders both Republicans and Democrats One was to provide relief for Mississippi River hood sufferers, and the other to dis pose of the contested election cases in the Senate.
 Information Not Ready
 At the White House 1t was said that all information indicat- ed the Mississippi flood situation could be handled as easily at the regular session, which will meet next December, as by a special session of Congress. Sufficient relief funds, it was said, are on hand to provide for all needs until after January 1. 1928. En- gineers who are in charge of the situation, 1t was added, will be unable to have complete informa- tion ready to submit to Congress before December.
 Nothing was said regarding the matter of the contested cleo tion cases in the Senate.

1t has been brought to the atten-

there are two cases of infantile paral-

known as poliomyelitis. 1t is COM

The first stage comes on abruptly

with nausea and vomiting, irritability

pain and tenderness in the extremities.
This stage lasts a few usually

SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA CITIES NOT
ALL IN FAVOR OF THE LOS ANGELES
PROGRAM OF RIVER DEVELOPMENT

and California which would be devel-
oped under the Glen Canyon dam.
The lands of Senator Johnson and
John L. Bacon will be irrigated, for
they are in the scheme. The millions
of acres" which Johnson and Bacon
talk about as being ready for develop
ment under the Boulder Canyon dam
project are Pigments of the magma
tion. Under the Glen Canyon project
they are facts, but if the Glen Canyon
dam is built and the water is brought
to Southern California by gravity
flow, these millions of acres will be
watered, Los Angeles will have no con-
troll over the development of the other
cities of this part of the state, and
the interests Of all the people of the
southwest will be served. In addi-
ton, while the Glen Canyon dam will
furnish all the water which the Boul-
der Canyon dam will furnish, it will
produce five times as much power, and
power is the life of industry. Con-
servatively, the benefit to southern
California of the Glen Canyon dam
will be worth a billion dollars over
and above the benefit of Boulder Can
yon.
The Boulder dam bill before con-
gress, if it passes, will place it in the
power of Los Angeles to do to every
community in southern California
what that city has done to the Owens
Valley. If President Coolidge or Her
bert Hoover, who seem to favor the
bill, can explain why this should be
done, let them come out in the open
and say so, but not do it covertly.-

Plan to Celebrate
Opening of The
Lees Ferry Bridge

For the purpose of formulating
plans for the official opening and
dedication of the Colorado river bridge
at Lees Ferry now under construc-
tion, with the thought of making it
an event of international Importance,
the Northern Arizona Association of
Commercial Organizations have ex-
tended invitations to many civic or
ganizations in the south and middle
west asking that they be present at
the quarterly meeting Of this associa-
tian in Holbrook, Arizona.
"We believe this to be the biggest
thing of its kind" said E. r. Byers
of Williams, president of the associa-
tion, recently, "and for that reason
are asking that other organizations
meet with us for the purpose of COM
pleting the details"
The following organizations are
some of those which have been in
vited to this meeting, many Of which
have already signified their intention
to be present: Automobile Club of
Southern California, California State
Motor association, A. T. & S. F. Ry.,
Nogales Chamber of Commerce, Tue
son Chamber of Commerce, Panhandle
Automobile association, Albuquerque
Chamber of Commerce, Denver Cham
Der of Commerce, Colorado Springs
Chamber of Commerce, Arizona Auto
mobile association, Inc, American
Automobile association, Durango
Chamber Of Commerce, Los Angeles
Chamber of Commerce, San Francisco
Chamber of Commerce, Reno (Ne-
vada) Chamber of Commerce and
Yuma Chamber of Commerce.
1t is expected that the bridge will
be ready for use some time next
spring. Tentative plans are to form
caravans from the north and south
and proceed to the bridge, an impress
sive dedication ceremony to follow
participated in by the governors Of
the surrounding states as well as rep
resentatives of the various highway
associations, the American Automobile
association, the National Motor asso-
citation, government officials from

Gen. Harris Still
Continues To
Promote Self

The One Hundred and Fifty-eighth
Infantry, national guard of Arizona,
is at the Fort Huachuca encampment
with the colonel, lieutenant-colonel
and major missing. The officers,
though on the active list, are not in
cluded in the camp orders of the ad-
jutant generals office, and hence
stayed at home. Adj Gen. Charles
w. Harris assumed command of the
camp with Maj. Joseph Pomeroy as
| senior line officer in attendance.
All this is merely part of the in
ternal warfare now being waged in
the Arizona guard. Commanding the
regiment is Col. E. p Conway, vet
eran of the recent war He was COM
plainant in suit against the adjutant
general for asserted diversion of guard
funds, a suit won by Harris in supe-
rior court.
In return, Harris had Conway
brought before a court-martial of
three regular army colonels for trial
on three charges, with Conway emerg-
ing triumphant.
Harris has ordered regimental head
quarters transferred to his own office
at the capitol. This, with the arbi-
trary retirement of Capt. Howard S..
Reed, Conway's appointee as regi-
mental adjutant, and substitution as
adjutant of captain chosen by Har-
ris, is declared unprecedented in mill
tary procedure.
Lieut.-Col. Harry B. Embach, secre-
tary of the Arizona Wool Growers as
sociation, and Maj. Shepherd Hiscox,
machine gun officer and who has been
boy scout executive in this state, also
are seemingly under the ban.
