TWAS YEAR AGO
 GATEWAY PULLED

It was just about year ago when one of the worst (also humorous) typographical errors in history was made by The Gateway. They still talk about it. Many leading papers and magazines in the States carried quips about it.
 However, The Gateway is glad to recall to the attention of it's readers that MT. and Mrs. Chris Halvorson, popular and well known local resi- dents, celebrated their first anniver- sary last Thursday.
 Oh yes, The error
 The headlines on The Gateway at the time of the marriage of MT. ana Mrs. Halorson, read something like this:
 MT. and Mrs. Halvors9n
 married over the weekend
 One line of the deck was left out and and-- Well what's the use of trying to explain ourselves out of it. The fact remains it sure was some blunder. Even the newly weds had to laugh, thank goodness for that, so everyone is happy. But The Gate way wishes to take this opportunity of extending congratulations to the happy couple and wishes them many more pleasant years.

House Clears Decks to
Act on Farm Bill

among opponents of the fee appeared
to lean towards the Curtis-Crisp BIZ
partisan compromise measure, princi-
pally because it is said to have the
partial endorsement of Secretary Jar
dine. Representative Aswell, demo-
crat, Louisiana, however, said he had
lined up substantial support for his
proposal which, although differing
from the Curtis Crisp bill in several
important details, also omits the
equalization fee.
Among the house and senate mem
bers favoring the fee, the McNary-
Haugen measure has incurred virtually
unanimous favor.
The Curtis-Crisp bill attracted con-
siderable attention due to an infer
ence by Representative Aswen that it
might have been written in Secretary
Jardine's office, but this brought de-
NAL fro mRepresentative Crisp, demo-
crat, Georgia, befor the hous COM

the partial but not the unqualified
approval of Mr.. Jardine.

sLAx1NGs AT CRISIS

RAYMONDVILLE, Texas, Jan. s up.
The case against Sheriff Raymond
Teller and seven other W1llacy
county officers charged with impli-
cation in the deaths of five county
prisoners slain near here last Sep
tember, assumed an international
aspect today, with the Mexican gov
ernment actively interested in the
prosecution.
Mexican officials contended that
at least one Of the prisoners slain
was. a citizen of the southern re-
public and charges filed against the
officers Yesterday was the result of
activities of Manuel G. Gonzalez, San
Antonio attorney, appointed by the
Mexican government as a special in
vestigator County Attorney Roger
f. Robinson declared today that the
warrants were issued without his
knowledge and said that, so far as
he knew, there was no evidence to
warrant holding the officers. Teresa
Nunez, widow of one of the prisoners
slain, swore to the complaint
In court today, County Attorney
Robinson asserted it had come to his
attention that Mrs. Nunez had stated
that she did not know what she was
signing when she affixed her sig
nature to an affidavit and that she
had no more information now than
when she appeared before the re-
cent county grand jury, which in
yestigated the case without return
ing indictments.
Jose A. valenzuela, Mexican con-
sui at San Antonio, made it plain
that Attorney Gonzalez is backed by
the Mexican government,
An attachment for Gonzalez was
issued in district court requiring his
presence Monday when habeas cor"
nus proceedings, brought in behalf
of the sheriff and the deputies, will
be heard
Upon learning of the order for
) Gonzales, Consul Valenzue1a dec
! cIared at San Antonio that either ne
, or Alexandra P. Carrillo, consul gen
oral of Mexico, would come here to
aid the attorney should he be kept
from finding the truth and convict
ing the men responsible for the
killing of our citizens"
The prisoners killed last Septem-
! Der were shot while in custody of a
sheriff's force The officers explained
that the men, had been taken from
the jail into the country in an at
tempt to locae a cache of arms be-
lieyed to have been used fin the
killing of two officers in the MeXi~
! can section here. The officers de-
clared they were ambushed and that
the prisoners were killed in the re-
, sulting gun fight. None of the oft1-
GERS were wounded and none of the
| alleged ambushers captured.

Ask PROPERTY LIST

SAN ANTONIO, Texas, Jan. P).-
Alexandra p. Carrillo, consul general
for Mexico, denied today that mes
sage which he received Thursday
from Mexican Ambassador Tellez in
Washington concerning manlfests OF
foreign owned property, had any"
thing to do with the confirmation OF
OIL lands under the new constitution
He was quoted in an Associated
Press dispatch of that date as say
ing that he had received instructions
from Washington ito receive applica-
tions for confirmation Of leases f~om
American oil companies through
Mexican consulates.
The message from Ambassador
Tellez instructed him to receive
manifests of foreign-owned property
under clause seven of the first Sec
tion of article Is OF the Mexican
constitution, a copy of the message
exhibited by Senior Carrillo showed.
This clause, Senior Carrillo said, re-
fers only to real estate holdings.
The clause, as quoted from the
Mexican constitution, follows:
"Aliens, who may have any right
of those which are the subject mat
ter of this law, acquired before the
going into effect of the same, shall
make a declaration before the de-
partment of foreign relations within
the year following the date of the
PRONUNCIATION of the present law
December 81, 1920 upon the under
standing that if this is not done it

ton was made subsequent to the

Coconino to the joint committee.
Apprised beforehand of the contem-
plated action of Senator Kimball, the
Graham county solons joint memorial
to ask Governor Hunt to discharge his
Colorado river commission of five
members today caused not a ripple on
the placid surface of the upper house.
Kimball moved for a suspension of the
rules to put the measure to vote and
not an faye greeted the motion.
The memorial alleged that the river
commissions proposals, attitude and
Inconsistencies many times proves their
inable and dangerous attitude toward
Arizona in this great crisis"

compact with California and Nevada

The closing hours of the senate ses-
sion wer occupied with the introduce
tion of the Kimball memorial and with
the introduction and filing of several
communications from various sources
problem. In the house the resolution
introduced by the woman representa-
tive from Santa Cruz county, Miss
Gladys Walker, went the way of the
administration measures.
Reported unfavorably by the judi
ciary. appropriations and the agricul-
tural and irrigation committees, the
measure sought to give the board of
directors of state institutions autharity
to expend such sums as mighS be
deemed necessary to conserve Arizona $
interests in the Colorado river.
In some quarters the resolution was
looked upon as yelled attesnpt to
give Governor Hunt an unlimited
drawing power on the state treasury,
but Miss Walkers in true feminine
fashion, appeared hurt by the suspic-
ion cast upon the measure, and she
said so.
Representative Francis, MaHcopa
county, while not wishing, he said, to
reflect upon the integrity of the
woman member from Santa Cruz, was
opposed to any measure that fur
nishes an unlimited drawing account
for any state official" Representative
Wisener, Yuma couty, rose to apollo
gize to the woman from Santa Cruz
for referring to her as the foster
mother of the resolution, adding; 1T
would now appear that it is an ille-
gitimate child, sired by God knows
who and damned, let us hope, by every
one here voting it down"

BY EDWARD C. STONE.

Following the call issued by Con
trcller Macintosh yesterday asking
for the condition of all Washington
banks as of March 20, it developed
that the majority of the local banks
will show an increase in deposits
since the last call dated December
81, 1926. In the very brief time
available for obtaining the figures
before the usual Saturday noon
closing, it was found that out of
10 of the largest banks in the city
had good sized increases in deposits.
So many increases were hardly ex-
pected gy local bankers in view of the
March tax Withdrawals and many
other Withdrawals due to the ad-
journment of Congress. The fine
showing indicates that the local
banks are doing an excellent business
and that 1927 Is likely to be another
record breaking year. The decreases
SO far reported will no doubt be
made up in the period before the
next call.
The following comparisons with the
December figures are very interest
ing. revealing as they do the gen.
eral trend of the banking situation
