A GREAT DECISION.

The United States Supreme Court
in an unanimous decision handed
down an opinion Monday, March 7,
1927 that the Texas law barring
coiored people from voting in Demo
cratic primary elections in that
State is unconstitutional This is
the most far-reaching decision upon
the question of constitutional rights
that has been delivered by that
august tribunal in fifty years. Il will
have a far-reaching effect in every
Southern State and is a virtual pro-
ciamation of q new era in the
political history of this section.
1t is bound to result in a better
feeling amongst the races and will
give the colored people of this Sec
ton an opportunity to show their
appreciation of thousands of chiva 'ric
white citizens, who have wished
them well and who have exerted
themselves in their efforts to i'm
prove the Industrial. financial, edu
cetional and the religious condition
OF this large body of devoted blacks.
We see or think we see. the be
ginning Of the fulfllment of our
prophecy made over a decade ago.
lat the time would come when the
southern whi'e man would be ready
ana willing to protect the black man
II his vote, while the Northern one
might be Indifferent in according
him this same privilege In some
sections, the white people who have
an antipathy TO the Negro may seek
4 return to the convention system.
Still, even this can be avoided if
our people will be conservative and
exercise good judgment. They now
have in their hands weapon, which
will tend to aid them in gaining
prestige in politics. Certainly, if
coIored folks show their apprecia-
ton of white folks by helping to
nominate them, while at the same
time pledging themselves to aid in
eiecting this same class of people as
against all corners, the beneficiaries
o. this service must be the last ones
to: complain. God at one time fought
eoy Israel. He is now according to
the colored folks this same faver in
these United States of America.

No act Of the National Association

People has tended to emphasize the
necessity for it's existence more than
this Supreme Court decision in the
matter Of Democratic Primaries. Ii
will open the floodgates of good
feeling between the white and black

TRAIN CRASHES TRUCK
HERE SATURDAY MORN:
DRIVER NOT SCRATCHED

Only a fraction of a second prob
ably saved the life of Jesse James,
driver for Robinson & Carter, fruit
wholesalers OF this city, when the
truck he was driving was crashed into
by train No. 4 at the Beaver street
crossing at $40 Saturday morning.
The heavy truck was struck on the
front end by the cylinder of the loco
motive and showed off the track. An
other three feet further and the ma
chine would have been hit squarely
on the cab and its driver either killed
or seriously injured.
James said that he came around the
corner from Phoenix avenue onto
Beaver street in second speed and had
train upon him. He had not noticed
the trains approach and the noise of
his motor inside the cab made it i'm
possible to hear it. No watchman
was on duty at the time James said
he applied the brakes and tried to
turn the truck sideways so as to run
down the track alongside the loco
motive but the engine hit him before
he had time. Trainmen said that they
were moving about Is miles an hour
when the crash came The train had
its brakes applied. preparatory to
stopping at the station.
The train was stopped as soon as
possible after the crash and trainmen
rushed to the assistance of James,
who crawled out Of the cab of his
truck with smile on his face. He
jocularly remarked that the engineer
ought to take better aim the next
time. The truck remained right side
up.
Considerable damage was done to
the machine in spite of the fact that
| it was only hit on the front end. An
entire new motor will be needed and
the frame was badly bent, besides
damage to the steering gear and 9TH
er items.
Efforts have been made by the city
council to get gates placed at the
Beaver street crossing because Of the
heavy flow Of traffic across that point.
During the day a guard is stationed
at the crossing but after five o'clock
there is nothing to warn cars of the
approach of a train.

ASHURST HOPES TO GET
CAMERON UTAH ROAD IN
CONGRESSIONAL BUDGET

Senator and Mrs. Henry F. Ashurst
arrived Monday from the coast and
will be here some time. They would
like to stay longer in their former
home town and visit with their old
neighbors but the senator will have to
go to Washington soon to appear be-
fore the director of the bureau of the
budget with reference to several spe-
cial matters. The most important of
these to Flagstaff is that concerning
the building of public roads across
Indian reservations.
Senator Ashurst is appearing espe-
cially to try to induce the budget mas
ter to provide funds for the building
Of the Monumental highway from
Cameron to the Utah line across the
Indian reservation He will also ap-
pear before the budget master with
reference to the Coolidge dam.
Senator Ashurst after leaving here
had a full program of addresses in
Arizona and California cities, for a
couple of weeks. At the conclusion
of this extensive lecture tour Senator
and Mrs. Ashurst sailed from San

POLICE ARE PUZZLED
By OUTBREAK OF HOME
ROBBERIES PAST WEEK

Someone will have to do some tall
explaining if he opens a secondhand
store IN Flagstaff following on the
heels of three home burglaries here
within the past week which have puz-
zled police investigators by the ap-
parent lack of clues.
Tuesday evening of this week police
officers were called to the home of
Mr.. and Mrs. Carl Dickinson on West
Birch avenue. They reported that
during their absence at the picture
show their home had been entered and
all their clothes stolen. Entrance was
through a rear door which had been
left unlocked. Besides the clothes the
thief had not molested anything but a
cheap watch. Mr.. Dickinson places
the loss at approximately $500.
Early Saturday evening the resi-
dence of D. E. Hart near Teachers
college was broken into by removing a
screen and jimmying and few per-
sonal belongings taken. The loss was
about $50.
Last week Wednesday night. the
home of w. H. Thompson was en-
tered by a sneak thief between the
hours of eight and nine and approx
AhASCzy fPOOO WOItu O1 personal De-
longings taken. No trace of the rob
Der has been found, although Satur-
day morning city police were notified
of several clothes hangers which
were found on the hill at the end of
Aspen avenue just north of E. d.
Babbitt Motor company's camp
ground. Members of the Thompson
family identified the hangers as taken
with wearing apparel from their home.
As yet no tangible clue has been
found on which police can work, says
j. R. Cooper, city marshal That the
three robberies were committed by
the same person or persons is certain
in the minds Of Investigators. In all
three cases burnt matches, evidently
used for lighting, were found strewn
about the houses. The time in each
case is also fixed at between eight
and nine in the evening. Whoever COM
mits the burglaries is evidently ia
miliar with the actions of the occu-
pants of the houses and seems to
know just when to strike.

PLANS MAMMOTH INDIAN TRIBAL
REUNION NEAR COMPLETION; TO
BE GREATEST EVER IN ARIZONA

An undercurrent of expectancy, a
gradual drifting into town of strang-
ers and the click Of high-heeled boots
on the pavements brings one to the
realization that in just another week
Flagstaff will be in the center of the
greatest Indian tribal reunion ever
| held in the state Of Arizona.
Doc Pardee arrived in town We'd
nesday afternoon for a several weeks
stay to personally take charge of the
celebration which will open next
| Thursday, July ID, with the mammoth
Indian pageant. Over 500 Indians are
already lined up for the three-day
celebration with promises from more
coming in every day. Word has been
received that every Indian at The Gap
will be here, these Indians alone num-
bering over 300.
There will be at least 10 tribes of
Indians represented. To stage every
known outdoor Indian sport, includ-
! ing horse races, chicken pulls, stone
races, flag contests, viii be the aim
of the management of the reunion. An
! Indian marathon race, featuring Hopi
and Navajo winners of the New York
and Phoenix marathons will be held.
All Ol IU6 IdEES JIOOC VA
the rodeo will be hald at a specially
constructed track at City park, work
men having started on the construc-
tion this week.
I At one o'clock every day, a great
equestrian parade will pass through
the streets. Five hundred mounted
Indians, 300 mounted whites and 800
Indians and their families in wagons
and automobiles will make up one Of
the most interesting sights ever seen
| in the state War dances will add
color and life to the parade.
Every citizen is urged by Doc Pardee
to get in the parade. Lee Doyle will
bring in 80 horses; Tom and Archie
Brown of Marshall Lake will loan ev-
cry saddle horse from their ranch
while the Foxboro Prep ranch will
send 40 horses and 80 riders from the
school to take part in the parade.
Other people who care to assist in the
parade are asked to leave their names
at Reunion headquarters. All horses
which are brought in, says Doc, will
be taken care of and fed.
The international News Reel and
Pathe News will be here to secure pic
lures Of the parade and other re-
union features.
Cowboy Preacher Smith, ''the In
dams friend" will have charge of ra-
tioning the provisions to the Indians
because of his wide acquaintance with
the natives. Ten beeves have been
ordered to feed the Indians who will
make camp on q hillside near town
where everyone may go and watch
them in camp.
On Wednesday a carload of buck
ing broncos, including Aimee McPher-
son, Jerry Sullivan, Red Dog, Rubber
Heels, Carbolic and the Hired Girl,
were shipped from Prescott by Doc
Pardee. These famous bucking horses
are the property Of Doc and are noted
for their tenacity in getting their

LACK OF FIRES ON 4TH
SURPRISES FIRE ladies

Members of the Flagstaff fire de-
partment got together Tuesday morn
ing after the Fourth and asked them
selves "how come? how come? Only
one fire over the Fourth and that
can't be absolutely laid to firecrack-
ers.v
According to Chief Hogan and Jack
Irish, fire truck driver, this was the
quietest Fourth for the department
since Hector was q pup. Everyone
of the men was on his toes all day
Sunday and Monday awaiting fire
calls that usually result from the
celebration of the Fourth.
The only call the boys had to an
swer since last weeks issue of The
Sun was one on Coeonino avenue in
the Mexican quarter where a large
pile of wood caught on fire, ostensibly
from firecracker. The alarm was
turned in at 1:05 Saturday afternoon
by a passing pedestrian. Efforts
were made to get the fire under con-
troll with chemicals from the tank on
the big fire truck to obviate the ne
cessity of laying three blocks Of hose.
However, it was found necessary to
bring water to the fire. No damage
was done any of the buildings, several
of which were in close proximity.

NOIU Can Motor Right
TO Sunset Ice CaDes

Do you know that you can now
drive right up to the mouth of the
Ice Caves under Sunset mountain on
a fine new road? For years past a
half mile was the nearest one could
drive. Ambitious ones travelled the
rest of the way on Shank's mares.
The new Sunset loop recently fin
ished by the forest service in its so
minute fire control project, Included
the building of this stretch Of road
across the lava beds from the end of
the Sunset mountain road to Sunset
crater.
There used to be an old wagon road
over the lava beds with steep pitches,
and rough going. The forest road
crews used this old route to some ex-
tent, easing the old grades by taking
longer and easier ascents. They filled
up the big cracks in the lava with
coarse cinders, pounded down the
sharp points, ploughed through the
small cinder mounds with caterpillar
and grader and then surfaced the
whole with good cinders.
This road has paid for itself sew
eral times over. There have been sew
eral fires in this cinder district east
of Sunset crater, two of them right
near the road, which were easily put
out but which would have caused
heavy damage, as. they did last year,
if there had been no road into that
section.

Beautiful Celestial
Displays Witnessed
Here Last Saturday

Residents of this vicinity were
treated to brilliant but not rare ce-
lestial display Saturday morning when
two beautiful halos, popularity called
sun dogs, were visible. One Of the
halos was at % degrees and was the
most noticeable, while one at rs de-
grees was somewhat obscured by the
sun.
The display, very clearly visible
Saturday for from 1870 to noon, is
not properly q sun dog. In astron-
omical circles it is called halo and is
formed from ice crystals or drops Of
water in the atmosphere. The light
passing through these crystals or
drops of water is refracted the same
as when passed through a spectrum
and halo is the result.
Halos as were seen last Saturday
and Sunday are not at all rare, but
it is seldom one is as brilliant as the
display on those two days. The vari-
Gus coIors of the spectrum at times
were very plainly visible.
It is said that one resident of Flag
staff called the Lowell observatory
Saturday when the halos were the
brightest and asked if it was the
Pons- Winnecke comet coming near the
earth. The caller was reassured that
it wasn't.
