"Hello" is to be the by-word OF the
Arizona delegation when they enter
tain the national convention of Busi-
ness and Professional Women's clubs
at the Grand Canyon on July 13, and
also at the national convention in
Oakland, Calf, July 16 to %.
"The hello spirit of Arizona" will
be brought to the attention Of these
1900 women in such a way as to inn
press them with the genuine hospital
fly and good fellowship Of Arizona,
for everywhere, during the conven-
ton, they will be met with CHEEKY
sshello" by these Arizona delegates.
Plans for the entertainment of these
women at the Grand Canyon are fast
taking shape under the direction Of
Mrs. Allie Dickerman, chairman of
the Arizona hospitality committee, and
Miss Margaret X. Stewart, state pub
licity chairman, of Flagstaff. 1t is
planned that a committee of twenty
business women will board the special
trains at Flagstaff in the early morn
ing hours of the 18th and distribute
copies Of the Arizona magazine "Pro-

women aboard. This magazine will
contain special views of all parts OF
Arizona as we'll as convention news,
and will stress the northern part of
the state on account Of the days stop
at the canyon. This committee will
wear the typical costume of Arizona
dark blue bobby skirt, white blouse,
cowboy hat and gun and holster. All
Arizona hostesses will wear the
s'hello" badge of Arizona.
The Prescott club has some special
stunt typifying the cowboy which will
be staged at the Grand Canyon. The
Indians will also put on special
dance for the benefit of these eastern
visitors. The balance Of the day will
be devoted to rides, walks and sight
seeing about the canyon.
These special trains bearing one
thousand women from all parts of the
country east of the Mississippi Valley
will arrive at the Canyon at $40 a. m.
and leave at $50 p. m. of July IS.
Arizona delegates will join the special

greatly impaired its efficiency. Many
of the employees of the highway de-
partment while wholly or partially
unfit to discharge the duties OF their
respective offices are nevertheless re-
strained because of political expedi-
ency. From the evidence submitted
to it, the grand jury is satisfied that
funds of the highway department
have often been expended Indirectly to
further the political fortunes of GER
tain of the state officials, although
the grand jury is frank to say that
sufficient legal evidence was not
available to justify an Indictment. If
it be true, as testified, that highway
employees have been used at state ex-
pense to collect campaign funds for
state officials, the grand jury feels
that some law or method should be
Immediately devised whereby such
practice Immediately cease.
At this time the grand jury desires
to call to the attention of the public
the matter of diverting funds from
one department to another department
of the state government, and thus de-
feat the purposes for which such
funds were appropriated by the state
legislature In several instances the
grand jury found where monies were
taken from the salary fund of the
state prison and paid to the highway
department with the approval of the
secretary of the board of directors of
public institutions, and such transac-
tions were based solely upon dummy
claims and were in no sense legitimate
transactions, the purpose being, the
grand jury is advised, to prevent such
funds from reverting to the general
fund at the close of the fiscal year.
In other words, the state highway de-
partment obtained money from the
salary fund of the prison without hav-
ing any legitimate claims whatever
against such fund. The same was
found to be true with respect to GER
tain of the funds of the state hospital.
In attempting to check up carefully
on this matter, the grand jury caused
the books of the state prison to be
produced before it and upon inspec-
ton of these books it was found that
the pages in the journal containing
the record of the mutual accounts be-
tween the highway department and
the prison were missing and the abb
sence of these pages was wholly un-
accounted for by the prison officials.
Incidentally the grand jury realizes
the Importance of maintaining an ac-
curate accounting system at the
prison, hence it desires to recommend
at this time that civilian book
keeper be employed by the state in
stead of compelling the prison Off
cials to depend upon prison labor in
the matter of keeping the prison ac-
counts.

Serious Charges
Made Tong Case

Affidavits charging prominent pub
lie officials of Mohave county with
perjury, suborna.ion of perjury and
the sequestration of witnesses at the
tong war murder trials held at King
man last December were filed Satur-
day in the Mohave county superior
court by Lewis L. Wallace, attorney
for the five convicted Chinese, all OF
whom are now in the state prison at
Florence, under sentence of death.
Former Superior Judge E. E. Boil
linger, who presided at the three
trials, is accused of having been privy
to the fact that Don On, Kingman
born "China boy" who was the states
principal witness at the preliminary
hearing of the accused, was IN hiding
during the trials on Mohave county
goat farm.
Former Sheriff "Bill" w. P. Ma
honey is accused of having spirited
away Don to the goat ranch, with the
assistance of his deputies. On the
strength of testimony, now alleged to
be perjured, that Don On could not be
found, Judge Bollinger ruled that the
transcript of his testimony taken at
the preliminary hearing be admitted
as evidence at the trials.
Copies of the affidavits have beer
mailed to Attorney General John w
Murphy at Phoenix, whose office is
now investigating the case. One OF
his deputies is at present on the
ground. Five affidavits are on file II

Pleasing union Of purpose is shown
in the determination Of the state, the
county of Coconino and the govern
ment to build the Lees Ferry bridge.
Such a joining of forces indicates that
the need Of the bridge is well recog-
nized.
AS was to be expected the bids for
the construction of a 600foot steel
bridge over a 500-foot canyon gorge,
10 miles from a railroad in the midst
of wild and uncivilized land, exceed
ed the estimates of the engineers and
the sums set aside for the job. Then
there were extraordinary expenses
that had to be met by someone, and
Coconino county, poor as it is IN road
building resources, came manfully IN
to the breach The Indian bureau also
has promised important cooperation.
When it is completed the bridge
will allow two states to visit one an
other by q direct route where now
they must take devious one. Utah
and Arizona have common interest
in the Grand Canyon that will be
served by a fairer means of commun-
ication. But the most important eff
feet of the bridge and the highways
that will approach it will be to open
up an enormous scenic territory for
travel. Nowhere else in the world is
there a more varied and stupendous
scenic interest than in the great
northern plateau of Arizona.
It contains the inestimable gorge
of the Grand Canyon, the n1arvelously
bewitching beauty of the Rainbow
Natural Bridge, the colorful Painted
Desert, the worlds largest forest Of
fossil trees, prehistoric dwellings, of
number and variety nowhere else
known, the remains of pre-human life
of the time of the dinosaurs, lakes,

Are there secrets imbedded in and
preserved by the red iron" sands and
limestones of the Colorado River
which may cause general readjust-
ment of the theory of science con-
cerning the history of man?
Samuel Hubbard, honorary curator
of archaeology of the Oakland museum
and director Of the E. L. Doheny sci
entific expedition to. the Hava Supai
canyon of northern Arizona thinks it
probable.
Hubbard goes so far as to say it is
possible the pick and shovel some day
may disclose the existence of:
An "ape-man" with nine feet Of
vertebra ending in long tail-claws
instead Of feet.
Twelve legged dragons and other
anirnals of shapes and sizes as yet
unknown to naturalists.
Animals that answer Biblical de-
scriptions, but which some scientists
say never were".
"When the fossilized bones of each
of these many strange types of crea-
lures have been disclosed we can say
that they did exist, but until then we
can only surmise," Hubbard added.
Hubbard declared in his opinion
sufficient has been learned to war
rant new expeditions into the south
west to dig for prehistoric types of
man and animals.
A digest of the results of the Do
heny expedition coupled with recent
archaeological finds has led Hubbard
to number of conclusions which he

ner in which certain state departments
have been administered and 18 addi-
tional indictments, said to involve less
than half as many individuals, were
reported Monday afternoon by Mari
copa county's cleanup grand jury.
None of the indictments involved
state officials whose departments
were investigated, according to unof-
ficial reports. The grand jury re-
cessed subject to the call of Foreman
Vernon Wright, and it was reliably
reported that the jurors do not ex-
pect to be called back into action be-
fore next fall.
Even though Secretary of State
Kerby was not mentioned by name, he
was flayed in the grand jury report
by title of office. His administration
of the motor vehicle title act, now re-
pealed, was arraigned directly. 1t
was charged in the report that he
$4,000 to which he was not entitled,
and the jury recommended that the
proper officer institute suit to recov-
er this cash item for the state. Scorch-
ing review was made of the immense
cost the secretary of state reported
for administration of this law figures
being given to show that the revenue
was almost consumed by the secre-
tary's collection system.
The indictments were returned in
connection with the probe of vice con-
ditions alleged to exist in Phoenix,
according to the best information
available. Part of the report also
deals with these conditions as found by
the investigating body. Names of
state officials under fire from the jury
were not contained in the report, but
one or more of these department Of
ficials were mentioned by title.
The 18 indictments returned Mon
day brought the total number of true
bills the grand jury has returned to
65, with II persons involved in the
first batch of AZ and approximately
half this number in the second batch.
Practically all of the true bills were
brought against persons charged with
violating the anti-gambling laws.
The grand jury says in part:
Were certain of the state officials
to refrain from interfering with the
management of the highway depart
ment and to permit it to function sole
ly for the purpose for which it was
created, under the sole and direct
management of the state engineer,
the grand jury is satisfied that the
highway department would be very
efficient institution, returning to the
people of Arizona the equivalent in
value for the public funds expended
by it. The chronic interference with
the affairs of the highway depart
ment, however, by certain of the state
officials, particularly in the matter of
the selection of the personnel en-
ployed by the department, has seri-
ously handicapped that department in
the discharge of its functions and has

"However," he said, II am more and

Among Hubbard's tentative con-
clusions are:
That man and animals of the dino
saur type were co-existent.
That the Colorado river district
will reveal eventually proofs which
may force readjustment of ideas re-
garding the antiquity Of man.
That eventually science may dis
close the truth of the Biblical version
of the origin Of man through Divine
creation.
That there were intelligent men
on earth millions of years before apes
are supposed to have evolved"
That the Eskimos are, descendants
of the Chinese or Mongolian people
rather than the Indian, but that an
cient Mongolian invasions Of America
came from the south instead of the
Asiatic continent via Bering strait.

historic game-trail leading from Cali

cations from Alaska to Mexico over a

ing the administration of the receipts
and disbursements of funds arising
under Chapter rs of the Laws of 1925,
relating to motor vehicles and drivers
licenses. The enforcement of this law
and the discharge of the duties there
in rests with the secretary of state.
The grand jury finds from the evi-
dence submitted to it in connection
with the office of secretary of state,
that that official has caused to be
paid to himself for the year 1925 the
sum of $1,10555 and for the year
1926 the sum of $1,999.80, or total
of S3,1O5.35, for administering the
provisions of that law and in addition
to the salary which he received as sec
retary of state. The grand jury feels
that. the secretary of state was not en-
titled to this additional compensation
under the law and that the proper Of
ficial should Immediately institute
suit against the secretary of state to
collect such extra compensation and
return same to the state treasurer.
Even though the secretary of state
had been entitled during the years
named to receive this extra compensa-
tion, it would have been the part of
good business to have received it
through the usual channels of the
state treasurer's office, rather than
to pay the same to himself direct.
Considerable criticism is to be di-
rected at the secretary of state for
the enormous expenses incurred by
him in administering the provisions
of that law. OF the sum of $124,-
937.42 collected by that official from
various sources under that law, only
SIS 1000 was RENTED to the state
treasurer, the balance having been
disbursed by the secretary of state to
pay various expenses arising in the
administration of said statute. From
the evidence received, the grand jury
cannot help but feel that that enor-
nous expense was incurred by the
secretary of state for purposes other
than the administration of the provi-
sions of that particular statute.
Among other things it was found
necessary to return to various indi-
viduals of the state of Arizona the
sum of $9,443.00,0 yet the jury finds
that to return that sum of money, the
secretary Of state expended the fur
ther sum Of s11,968.71,
