the apprehension over the fate of the

entirely upon women, holding them
up at the point of a gun, snatching
their rings and hand bags and then
fleeing into the night
He chose womcn'-for victims. he
said, because they were not as dan
gerous as men. Invariably he ap-
preached them on an unlightcd street,
robbed them and then fled down an
alley. emerging on the next street
where he had left his automobile and
then driving casually away.
His wife, Mrs. Helen Mitchell. has
been held and police said she will be
charged as an accessory. Mrs. Nit
chell. who said her father is a St.

Several bushels of jewelry were
found at the Mitchell home. Police
estimated the total value Of the ar
ticles at more than $25.000.
Mitchell said he attended the uni
versity Of st. Louis before the war,
returning to finish his civil en-
gineering studies after serving as a
volunteer with the American forces
in France. His home, he told Off

From Train Service To Pa

Washing out bridges and undoing
temporary repairs to the Northern

struck the west Missouri Slope in the
vicinity Of Sentinel Butte and Me-
dora Thursday evening As q result
bismarck is without tram service to
the coast until repairs can be made.
Railroad officials both here and at

new DUTIES ON
US. EXPORTS TO
FRANCE HIGHER
American Importers Declare
New Rates Exclude Many
Commodities

Paris, Sept. 9.-[R)-What arc said
to be prohibitive duties upon va
riety of American exports to France
have been in force against shipments
from United States ports since Sep
tember l, it was learned today. The
new duties are from four to six times
higher under the general tariff now
effective than previously.
This fact came as surprise to the
Z. S. embassy on Wednesday, il is
stated, the embassy having under
stood from the. French foreign office
that the new tariffs were rather
more favorable to America than the
old schedules.
Commodities Being Held
The embassy, acting under instruc-
tions from the state department, is
making energetic representations to
the foreign office for most favored
nations treatment. Meantime, COM
modities arriving on vessels which
have sailed from America since Sept.
will be held in French ports, await
ing the action of the French govern
ment.
American importers declared. that
these new high duties exclude num-
crous articles from competition in
France, with Germany. England and
other countries enjoying most favor
able national treatment. These ar
t!clcs include magnetos, electric ma
chinery. small hardware, pumps, ra-
zor blades, clothes pressing and
clothes-maklng machines. prepared
and worked leather, and enameled
ware.
Some Examples
An example of the new duty is
seen IN the case Of steel furniture, in
which quite trade recently has
sprung up in France. The duty in
this instance is increased from one
franc 30 centimes. and two francs, to
eight francs 80 cent;mes. This figur.
is said to be at least so per cent o.
the value of the furniture itself. The
duty on fountain pens, which previ-
ousiy averaged five francs, or 20 per
cent of their value, has now been
raised to 80 per cent.
American business men sav that
such imports from America cannot
compete with the German and Eng
lish exporting markets unless the
duty is lowered. England automat-
ycally has full benefit of the new
Franco German commercial treaty
which became effective on Septcm-
Der 6.
1t is estimated at the embassy that
20 per cent of the value Of American
imports into France are affected. The
imports were valued at about $685.
100000 in 1916.

Is. Senator Henry
MOUing TO Calf?

If the Swing johnson Boulder Can
yon dam bill can be gotten on the
floor of the next congress or any sub
sequent one, it will pass, Senator
Henry F. Ashurst of Arizona declared
in San Francisco while there on a re-
cent visit.
Senator Ashurst led the senate fill
buster against the bill during the
closing days of the last congress. In
making his prediction, the senator
said:
ARIZONA is right. California, con-
gress and the nation are wrong in the
Boulder dam matter But California,
largely through her able senior sem
ator, has so dramatized the Boulder
dam issue that the outcome seems al
most foregone conclusion.
"And it is my studied opinion that
if the new Swing-Johnson bill-and
am assuming that such a bill will be
ntroduced-comes before either house
of congress, either this coming session
or any subsequent session, it will
pass.
ARIZONA may have the guidance OF
superior wisdom, but it has neither
the prestige nor the influence required
to prevent congress or the nation from
making what we in Arizona believe tc
be great mistake.

Real Wild Vest
Shooting Affair

A tale of the widest west was con-
tributed by w. Deming to Ajo history
just prior to his demise by means of
a rifle bullet fired by member of a
posse that was seeking his arrest.
Deming, a half-breed Cherokee, was
son-in-law of Tom Childs, one of the
most noted of Arizona's peace officers
and desert trackers. He had threat
'ened his father-in-law with presented
pistol, this at the Iatter's ranch, six
miles from Ajo.
Drawing a knife, Childs advanced
upon his assailant, while Isaac Hook
er, a ranch hand, secured a revolver.
Hooker was 'ttoo slow on the draw
His pistol was shot from his hand and
he dropped with two bullets through
his body. Deming then fled by auto
for Mexico. At the border his car
was confiscated by the Mexican au-
thorities. Turned back, Deming
started on foot to return to Ajo, with
the announced intention OF killing
Childs and others, including Deming's
wife. Several posses started TO IN
tercept the outlaw.
At Bates Well, 20 miles southwest
of Ajo, he was met by Boots Burn
ham and j. w. Cameron and was
killed when he refused to surrender
and reached for his pistol. Hooker i
expected 10 recover.
The Coconino sun., 1927-07-08

The great American bison will be
hunted again in the United States and
the place of the hunt will be no other
than the northern plateau land of Ari-
zona.
Fifteen majestic monarchs of the
big state-owned herd in House Rock
valley near Lees Ferry will fall VIC
tins to the rifle fire of Is marksmen.
The hunt is being arranged by State
Game Warden d. E. Pettis for the
purpose of ridding the famous buffalo
herd of outlaw" animals, and, in
cidentalIy, to obtain funds for COM
pleting the purchase of the 80 or
more bison in the valley.
The state game warden explains
that the Is animals to be killed are
considered to be very old bulls. Sew
eral of them are known to be at least
twenty years old. A part of these
old buffalo have voluntarily separated
themselves from the herd proper, the
rest have been driven off by younger
bulls. These "outlaw" animals roam
at large and live solitary life, be-
coming in many respects more than
useless to the other buffalo. Many of
the old bulls are fast becoming feeble.
The wild state of the animals, having
never known captivity, necessitates
the hunt as the only means of reliev-
ing the situation. The herd consists
of descendants of young animals
taken in wild state many years ago
from the plains Of Texas and set loose
in the northern Arizona country.
The buffalo hunt will be conducted
under the supervision of the game
warden's department. Any holder Of
an Arizona hunting license who de-
sires to take part in the hunt is re-
| quested to send his name, address,
| license number, and the name of the
warden or deputy warden whose name
appears on the license or the name Of
| the person or concern from which the
license was purchased Both resident
and nonresident hunters licensed in
| this state Will be permitted to make
application to participate in the hunt
All of the applications received by
/ the game warden will be mixed to-
gether and Is of them selected by s
drawing The first Is applications
drawn from the lot will be permitted
to take part in the hunt
Each hunter will be permitted tt
| kill only one animal. The animal viii
be selected by the warden or one 0.
! his deputies. To the hunter will bI
given the hide and the head of tn,
4 slain buffalo and 100 pounds Of it!
i meat. The state will take the re
4 naming part of the carcass and sell it
i The proceeds from the sale of th'
