SCOPE
Of CALL IS
DEMAND MADE
Senate Joint Memorial
Passed, Requests High
way Legislation Call
GOV. is SILENT
Refusal of Creditors Relief
Threatened If Demand Is
Ignored

PHOENIX, AriZ, July 26, (R-Pos-
sible solution of the highway problem
in Arizona tonight was in the hands
of Governor Hunt, who today was the
recipient of a senate concurrent mem
orial requesting him to enlarge the
scope of the third special session of
the eighth state legislature to include
important phases of highway work.
The memorial, introduced by Senator
A. H. Favour of Yavapai, carried in
both houses after lengthy discussion,
particularly in the house.
Fractional lines were clearly defined
in the voting on the memorial, which
according to majority members OF the
legislature represents the demand
which the electorate of the state is
making to the governor and the legis-
lature for highway legislation, espec-
Tally concerning repair Of bridges,
maintenance of roads, and provisions
for matching federal aid.
The Apache trail was among the
projects specifically mentioned in the
memorial as needing state aid and one
which the legislature desired to have
included in proposed legislation. Other
projects included the repair of bridges
at Cottonwood wash and Larue wash
in Navajo county, and bridges at st.
David in Cochise and at Wickenburg
in Maricopa.
Failure of the governor to grant the
request of the legislature will probably
lead to one of two things. The first is:
The legislature will go ahead with the
of highway legislation, re-
gardleSs of such being declared illegal
in the courts, and the other would be
sine die adjournment of the third
special session without creditors of the
highway department being paid.
Governor Hunt would not commit
himself on the memorial today and
some members of the minority (ad-
hazarded that he would
ignore the memorial. Senator Joyner
(Pima) declared on the floor of the
senate that the memorial was unnec-
essary and irrevelant-- the COVER
nor had called a special session for the
express purpose of paying creditors of
the state, and that it was not the legis-
lature's business to perfect such legiS-
lation. He added that undoubtedly the
governor would Immediately call an
other session to consider general high
way matters.
A bitter verbal fight was staged in
the house over the resolution. Repres-
Coxon of Cochise declared
that unless the scope of the special
session call is extended, for one am
not going to vote for creditors relief"
His stand was vigorously supported
by Wisener of Yuma and Pickett of

AIMEE REPLIES
Denies She Or Mother Has
Anything To Confess, AS
Truth Told

LOS ANGELES, July 26 Up =
Aimee Senlple Mcpherson and her
mother, Mrs. Minnie Kennedy, were
accused today by Gladwyn N
Nichols, former confidential aide OF
the, evangelist, of fabricating the
strange story of her kidnapping and
imprisonment in Mexico.
He urged them for the good of
their souls and the peace of Their
consciences to make a clean breast
Of the whole affair, of the mystery
which demanded world interest for
several months last year.
Rev. Nichols, formerly choir leader
at Angelus Temple, withdrew from
the organization and, with several
hundred revolving members, set up
the Church of Philadelphia here re-
Gently.
"Aimee Mcpherson and her mother
both have confessions to make to
the world. 1 and 28O members of
our church demand that she clear
up the kidnapping story. Unless they
do, the public will never have conf
dcnce in them again." he exhorted
today
The revolt of Rev. Nichols and his
secessionists was ascribed to the "in-
creasing worldiness of the evangel.

her reddish hair, it proved the straw

and his church of Philadelphia need

uncharitable After all these months
of silence it seems strange that
Nichols should take such sudden
concern in my conscience. Isn't it
revealing that his urge came at the
anCment when my name is in the
headlines every day?
II have no confession to make
whatever. I told the truth and
walked in the light"
Mrs. Kennedy, just back from a
hot trip to Taft, said that Nichols
seemed like nice boy and that it
was too bad he had to take such
d mean attitude.
Nichols admitted that overtures
had been made to him and his flock

PHOENIX, Ariz., July 25, tH)-Flag-
staff, Self-advertised as "the summer
capital of Arizona" came within a
house Of becoming literally correct
today |
The house in question was the state
house of representatives which did not
take kindly to a senate concurrent
motion to adjourn the third special
session until Thursday and then to
assemble at the Conocino County high
schoor in Flagstaff. The senate passed
the motion to Z and then stood at
recess until the call of the gavel.
THAT the legislature may move the
official site to either Flagstaff or
Prescott, county seat of Yavapai
county, in the event of prolonged
session, was the serious declaration of
many members today and the senat-
ors voting favorably on the Flagstaff
motion said they meant business"
Senator Runke of Coconino made
the motion, which was seconded by
Waters. Bettwy tried Nogales in
substitute motion and Favour of va
vapai said "the intention had been to
make the move to Prescott, which is
preparing royal welcome, but / will
concede to Senator Runke's motion"
When the senate committee, appoint
ed by Senator Donnelly of Pima, pres
ident protein presented the resolution
to the house, Murphy of Gila moved
to substitute Prescott. He was not
seconded and a motion by Wisener
adjourned the lower house until 10 a.
m. tomorrow to meet in Phoenix.
The senate then recessed until the
same time, and further action on the
matter of moving" is expected when
the governor replies to memorial
asking him to enlarge the scope Of the
special session.

NICARAGUA ARE
AGAIN FIRED ON

MANAGUA, Nicaragua, July 26, F)
United States marines and Nicara-
guam constabtilary have again come
under the fire of the irregular forces
of General Sandino. One marine and
several of the constabulary were
wounded.
The skirmiSh occurred yesterday
near San Fernando, about 20 miles
from Ocotal, the little town where
only few days ago handful of mar
ines and constabulary aided by bomb
ing planes, killed 300 of Sandino's men.
An attempt was made by Sandino to
ambush Major Floyd's troops and
nearly succeeded. But good handling
OF his troops prevented this and en-
abled him speedily to rout the attack
ing forces, who lost several killed and
q score wounded.
Efforts will be made to run down the
Sandino band and it is understood that
airplanes will participate in an action
which is expected to occur soon.

prior to d basket ball game at Frank

The athletic department of Wabash

game at Franklin. January 81, a MEM

I'VE are giving these facts to the
