With the beginning of construction yes,
terday morning of the new $4,000 stucco
store of the Western Piggy Wiggly Com

The original intention of the city in acquisition
of the lot, it is stated had been to straghten out

Lincoln and Monroe.
The project was abandoned and the lot sold to
the Grnnell Realty Company who re-sold 10 the

Sen. Heain Uses Four
Hours Of Senate Time
.Denouncing Catholics

WASHINGTON, Feb. liz (P)-Nearly
four hours of the senate's five hour
session today was taken up with a
cenunciation of Catholics in this
country by Senator Heflin, demo-
crat, Alabama.
During this time the legislative
machinery was at standstill and
when Senator Heflin threatened to
continue his speech tomorrow there
were cries of mo, no." from other
senators and Senator Curtis, the re
publican leader in obtaining the
floor to move for recess, said he
could not promise that Mr.. Heflin
could proceed at that time.
I'm not saying that I want it
tomorrow" Heflin replied. "But if
I do I'll get it."
Besides attacking the Catholic
church and the Pope in connection
with what he described as an ef-
fort to involve the United States into
war with Mexico, Senator Heflin ac
cused Governor Smith of New York
and his supporters of disrupting the
democra tic party by seeking to have
stlie 1924 New York convention de-
rounce Ku Klux Klan. Moreover.
the Alabaman expressed the belief
that Governor Smith and Certain
republican leaders" had an agree
ment by which the khan issue would
be kept out of the 1924 Cleveland
republican convention and dumped"
on the democratic convention.

five times mayor of Columbus, Ohio,
set the court, attorneys and spec
tators to laughing with his replies.
Daugherty and Miller are charged
with conspiring to defraud the United
States of their best services in con-
nection with the transfer of $4,000,
600 of impounded assets of the Amerf-
can Metal company, which were seized
as enemy owned during the war. By
witnesses, the government showed
that a fee of $441,000 had been
paid to John T. King, former repub-
1ican national committeeman from
Connecticut, for aiding Richard Mer-
ton, German agent of the Societe
Spusse Pour Valeurs De Metaux, in
recovering the assets for that COM
pany. The fee" was paid in cash
and liberty bonds. BY their serial
rumbers the government contended it
had proved that Miller and Daugh-
erty received part of the ''fee."
In the first trial Miller did not
take the stand, but called several
witnesses, who testified the claim
was paid in the ordinary course of
business nd without the influence the
government alleged had been brought
to bear. King and Smith died with
out being brought to trial.
The government alleged that Smith
acted as Daugherty's agent in the
alleged conspiracy.

House to House Drive
Is Plan to Get Names
OF All War Veterans

Next week, throughout the state
of Arizona TIE American legion will
conduct membership drive. Com
mander Fred Weiss of the Douglas
post told the Dispatch last night
that the drive in this city is going
to be intense. A house to house
canvass is being arranged for pc
cause the legion has no very good
way of knowing what persons are
veterans of the World war. In this
way it is hoped that with the peo
pie of the city cooperating a COM
rlete list of Douglas veterans may
be complied. The legion wishes to
have the name of very veteran
whether ne belongs to the organiza-
tion or not.
The post officers point that the
greatest problem of the legion is
that of caring for the men who were
disabled in the war and in this con-
nection men who were in that war
are urged to join the legion. In
greater numbers there is greater
strength and more Legislation look

American Opera Put
On at Metropolitan

NEW YORK, Feb. II R-Metro-
politan Opera goers tonight strained
their ears to catch the English text
of "The Kings Henchman," the
American opera composed by Deems
Taylor, with book by Edna st. Vim
cent Millay.
So infrequently does the Metropol-
itan Opera house present an opera
in English that many hearers aD-
sorbed themselves with the novelty
of deciding first, whether an Eng
lish text was singable, and second.
whether it was understandable.
For many it took the rousing
drinking song at the end of the
first act 20 awaken interest in the
music. 1t was that song which
after the first a& had ended, sent
many of the listeners to the cor
ridors 10 exchange approbations. The
world premiere of an America OPERA
which was written on commission
from General Manager Gatti Cassazza
of the Metropolitan opera house
seemed to be successful.

bill invalidates the liquor law"
Wisener admitted that he hadn't
entirely learned not to blow off the
foam, but l am against this bill"
He was applauded.
After Representative Harmon had
expressed the belief that during the
hot summer months "at least So per
cent of the homes in Arizona are
used for making beer = know [

the chair suggested that all the con-
verts to the cause probably had been
made.
On standing vote, approval of the
bill was voted down and on a roll
call demanded by Jones of Maricopa,
after the committee rose, the meas
ure was frowned upon, 81 votes to
19. It would have required actual
knowledge of Illicit possession before
the issuance of a search warrant. A
similar bill was defeated two years
ago by vote of As to 1.
While the house was passing six
measures on third reading today,
seven were being introduced in house
and senate. The governor signed
two bills, one requiring the filing of
nominating petitions 80 instead of
20 days before the primary election,
and the other empowering common
councils to license, tax and regulate
garages and service stations.
The Akers, Maricopa, banking bill
was approved in the senate commit
tee of the whole. A bill by Joyner
OF Pima creating the office of state
oil inspector, was indefinitely post
poned, but bill by Harmon, charg-
ing the state sealer of weights and
measures with the duty of inspecting
gasoline and other flid products of
petroleum, was approved by the house
committee of the whole. While
launching an attack upon the Win
sor election bills, the house approved
for passage a bill by Jones of Mari
copa, requiring statements of cam
paign expenses from every firm, COR
poration, club, league or association
which engages in political propa-
ganda or collects or expends any
money or valuable thing"

Representative Lynch was on his
feet '"rhe sole purpose of this bill,
he objected, "is to amend the state

Applause was cut off by Holub Of
Maricopa, who had been recognized by
the chair, Allen of Maricopa.
Peters of Pima no sooner had af-
firmed that the present law was suf-

Studley of Pinal courageously sup

again Jones of Maricopa was recog-

U. S. AGENTS
MAKE MONEY
IN PERFUMERY

NEW YORK, Feb. II (P.-Le Shone
De Paris corporation, just off Fifth
avenue on 10th street, described by
Representative F. Fl. La Guardia as
q government operated speakeasy,"
was revealed today as money making
perfumery plant operated entirely by
government representatives, including
porters and bookkeepers, says the New
York Sun.
AS result of the business which the
special government agents did in the
perfumery plant, more than Is indi-
viduals and corporations are under in
dictment awaiting trial in this city.
John NJ Harlan, chief of the prohibi-
tion division of United States Attorney
Emory r. Buckner's office, directed the
activities which resulted in the estab
lishment being taken over for the de-
velopment of the evidence which re-
suited in the indictments. The original
owners of the plant gave their interest
over to the special agents.
During the operations, government
agents were amazed at the large sums
of money they were able to put in the
bank. AS perfumers they were able to
negotiate deals with a number OF in
dividual dealers in bootleg alcohol.
In this manner, some of the specially
denatured alcohol which the govern
ment obtained the agents were obliged
to sell to outlets that represented boot
leggers, in order to maintain the de-
ception that the company was privately
owned. Representative La Guardia, in
letter to Secretary Mellon, said that
between October and December, 1925,
the agents sold 1850 gallons Of spe-
cially denatured alcohol.
