Little Data Given
On Arizona Weather

The April weather bulletin issued by
Father James Ricard of Santa Clara,
Calf, has been received. Making
deductions for Arizona weather from
this bulletin, which is primarily for
California and the other coast states
is a difficult matter, especially as in
the present instance where no direct
reference is made to Arizona, but the
general indications for this locality
seem to forecast little rain here dur
ing the month of April
Father Ricard's local reference for
March proved 100 per cent correct
as he foretold one rain for Arizona
for March 10, on which date il
rained all over the state.

DELINQUENCY IN CAPITAL DROPS


MEXICO CITY, April G3y Trens
Agency. y).-Delnquency in the Mexican
capital has decreased more than 20
Per cent, according to General
Roberto Cruz, chief of the police de-
partment. This is attributed by Cen
cral Cruz largely to the recent de-
}ortation OF large numbers Of known
GCnis-is Of the under world to tho
penal colony ut Islas Marias and
also to the Increased vigilance ana
efficiency Of the police here.
There is a project now under dis
cussion for the substitution of motors
cycle patrols for some or the mount
ed police but the project has not re-
ceived the approval of the police de-
rartment particularly 50 far as the
outlying suburbs are concerned.

SINCLAIR AIDS
PLEA FOR Low
BOND BLOCKED
U. S. Attorney Indicates
Fear Day Might Flee
From Country.
HEAR MOTION MONDAY
Reduction of Bail From
$4,000 to $4,000
Asked in Petition.
HEAR MOTION MONDAY
BY HERBERT LITTLE
rYuffad prae~ Star Nnrraeunvdavi

WASHINGTON, Nov. 1.-THE
Government today blocked, temper
arily at least, an effort by Mason
Day to win a reduction from $25, 900
to $4,000 of the bond under which
heals free on a Sinclair jury
tampering conspiracy charge.
It was the second time in two
days the Government fought to re-
tain its hold on reluctant witnesses
in the famous Teapot Dome case.
Yesterday F. L. Siddons ordered
seized 100000 property Of H. L.
Blackmer, missing "key witness"
in the oil trial proper, who refuses
to return from Europe to testify.
Day was not in court, but his
lawyer, Daniel Wright, asked Chief
Justice Walter I. Mccoy in District
of Columbia Supreme Court to
reduce the bond on the ground that
it was excessive. His wealthy client
is an American and will not run
away to a foreign country, he said.
Fears Day May Flee
Assistant United States Attorney
Neil Burkinshaw pointed out, how
ever, that Day, vice president of
the Sinclair Expectation Company,
had no permanent address in
America and was accustomed to
spending much time abroad. He in
dicated plainly the Government felt
that Day might flee if his bond was
reduced.
Justice Mccoy refused to act i'm
mediately, but permitted Wright to
file a motion for reduction Of bond,
which will be argued probably Mon
day.
Day was charged with jury tam
pering conspiracy two weeks ago
after he refused to testify before a
grand jury investigating such
charges. He pleaded not guilty. A
professional bondsman furnished his
bond. The usual charge for a $25,-
600 bond in such cases is $1,250.
The Governments opposition to
reduced bond for Day followed
United Press reports from Paris that
Blackmer did not intend to return
as a Teapot Dome trial witness, de-
spite the contemplated early seizure
of 100000 worth Of his property IN
Denver.
Delay Kidwen Hearing
Government lawyers and S. Nc
Comas Hawken, attorney for the
alleged "talkative" oil trial juror,
Edward j. Kidwell, reached agree
ment today on another complicated
phase of the Fall-Sinclair scandal.
Hawken consented to ask Justice
Siddons tomorrow to postpone hear
ing on Kidwell's petition to clear
himself of allegation that he said
he expected to profit if Harry F. SIN
clair and Albert B. Fall were &C
quilted.
The postponement will be effect
i've, Hawken said. until special
committee appointed by Siddons to
undertake possible contempt pro-
ceedings against any jury tamper-
ers can make its report.
Kidwell's petition asked contempt
action against Don King, newspaper
man and j. Ray Akers, street car
conductor, for making affidavit that
Kidwell told them he expected "a
car block long" in case of acquittal.
Kidwell swore he never made such
statement.
