NEW FISHING
 REGULATIONS
 ARE PROPOSED
Ala s k a Gamers Present Plan-Reduce Gear in
 s. E. Alaska

SEATTLE, Nov. 21-A commit tee representing the Alaska can ners has presented United States Fisheries Commissioner Henry O'Malley with a plan calling for a reduction of fishing gear in Southeastern Alaska
 The plan eliminates approxi- mately 120 of 544 traps in opera ton this year
 Drastic steps are necessary, Commissioner O'Malley believes, if the industry escapes destruc- ton.
 Commissioner O'Malley, in talk ing the proposal under advise ment, said new regulations will be issued in December
 The packers plan provides ex- tension of areas in which trap operations are prohibited. At the same. time. O'Malley said the pro posal apparently extends the scope of seine Fishing by allowing sein- CTS to operate in areas in which traps are prohibited
 "The Independent trap owners may protest against the cannery- mems plans" said Commissioner OMalley, lon the ground it would eliminate more independent traps than traps belonging to the can neries. The committee assured me the plan attempted talzsssea care of the independent traps. Sub mission of the plan followed my statement of last September that there will have to be drastic re- dnction in fishing gear in South eastern Alaska next year. and will be willing to consider any proposals the fishing industry wishes to submit. My plan, as then announced, was. to bar all traps in bays and estuaries in Southeastern Alaska and in many instances remove trap operation off points where the fish run is intercepted. The plan presented by the committee apparently does not go so far as this"
 The committee which presented the cannery plan included H. B. Friele, of the Nakat Packing Com pany; August Buschmann, of the Deep Sea Fisheries; Charles Burk- hardt and John Gilbert, of the Alaska Consolidated: F. Shoen- wall, Petersburg Packing Com pany, and Gilbert. Skinner, of Sunny Point Packing Company.

Sold Beef, But Did
Not Own Brand, Said

When D. Vasquez, Mexican, hv-
ing just south of town on the Lake
Mary road, decided to go into the
meat business he found that he could
cut his overhead to minimum by
not having to pay for the meat he dis
tributed to his customers. At least
those were the facts brought out at
his preliminary hearing held Monday
morning before Justice of Peace Harry
Richwine.
Vasquez was reported last week as
selling meat in the Mexican section
of town without a license. 1nvesti-
cation showed no source of supply for
his meat and now it is alleged that
Vasquez has been guilty of cattle
rustling. A search of his premises by
men from the sheriff's office disclosed
a hide with the j diamond brand, the
brand belonging to the Kellam Cattle
company.
Vasquez was bound over to superior
court by Justice Richwine in bonds of
$4,000 The penalty for cattle rustling
in this state carries from one to 1G
years in the state penitentiary. Ii
Vasquez isn't convicted on this charge
he will be tried for selling meat with
out a license.

At Local Camp Ground

A fire which broke out in one of the
cabins of the E. d. Babbitt Motor COM
pany camp ground Tuesday morning
at Z o'clock destroyed the entire con-
tents including the personal property
of the occupants.
The fire started from an overheated
can of gasoline which stood near the
cook stove in the cabin. No one in
the cabin noticed the fire until it had
leaped to the ceiling. An attempt
was made to get the flames under
control with three small fire extin-
guishers but they were not able to
cover the fire. By the time the fire
department arrived the building was
in flames and a cabin next to it was
seriously threatened. The fire was
cotton under control by the use of the
large chemical tank on the fire truck.

property was heavy as very little

BY LARGE NUMBER ALUMNI

The fourth annual home coming day
of the Flagstaff Teachers college
achieved its highest success when the
college football team Overwhelmingly
defeated its ancient yet friendly rival,
Tempe Teachers college Bulldogs, in
one of the most spectacular classics
ever witnessed on McMullen field.
Home coming this year was replete
with many festivities. Getting off to
a boomerang start last Friday night
the student body in cooperation with
the faculty and alumni of the college
staged gigantic bonfire on the col
lege campus which was resplendent
with a demonstration of pep and
speeches that will stand out in red in
the history of home coming days.
In the "big parade" the float rep
sresenting a huge football from which
sprouted Coach Lavik's first eleven

the girls of Campbell hall. The Camp
fire float was awarded second prize.
In the football imbroglio between
the bonneville Topics" and the
"Boomerangs" the former team was
awarded the verdict by Chief Coun-
selor Danny" Deaver of the college
science department. Each year this
classic between representatives of the
different girls halls on the campus at
tracts a great deal of attention from
the adherents of football.
Many visiting alumni took advan-
tage of open house in the different
dormitories. It was the occasion for
many happy memories of the olden
days. Old college grads took time to
lock over new improvements made
since their college days. 1t was esti-
mated by those in charge of the ar
rangements for the day that more
than 125 alumni were present.

Coming as a complete surprise to
town and county officials, who had
been working on the case, was the
confession of murder made by Ray
mond Sandoval of the little Jaycox
baby here in July. Local officials as
well as the superintendent of the in
dustrial school, Phil Merrill, had con-
cluded that the Mexican had nothing
to do with the case. People in the
community, among them the father
and mother of the baby, have always
held that the Sandoval boy knew
something of the crime Owing to the
formation of the country about the
Canyon it seemed an impossibility for
two and half year old child to
wander two miles away from home and
any other habitation, so that he must
have been taken to the place where
his body was found last month.
County Sheriff ]. O. Parsons and
Judge j. E. Jones visited the parents
last week and the latter left at once
for Fort Grant to interview the Mexi-
can youth and determine what steps
will be taken to bring him to justice.
At the time of the burial of the
baby, Mrs. Jaycox had the skull re-
served for further examination by
specialists, since the local doctor held
to his opinion that a fracture had
caused death. The skull has been sent
away and will be used as evidence
when the case comes to trial.
Superintendent Merrill stated in a
letter that he had purposely gone slow
with Raymond in order not to make
mistake and said that he had been
convinced until the confession that the
boy had had nothing to do with the
disappearance, but that Raymond had
made full confession, telling details
of the actual murder and the disposal
Of the body. Mr. Merrill is certain
that the boy is now telling the truth
and should be handled according to
law as dangerous criminal.
The baby disappeared from his
home on Saturday, July p. After a
24-hour search by Canyon residents,
foul play was suspected and the fin
ger of suspicion was turned on Ray
mond Sandoval who had given a great
deal of trouble at the Canyon by mo-
testing small children. When ques-
toned by officers he started to tell
a coherent story, but his father spoke
a few words in Spanish to him and he
then repeatedly denied and confessed
to the crime.
The decomposed, dismembered body
of the child was discovered by Mexi-
can boy working for Milo Jaycox,
father of the murdered baby, on Sep
tember 18. Mr.. Jaycox and the youth
were cutting wood in the forest and
the latter picked up what appeared to
be a large mushroom. A search re-
suited in the finding of almost COM
plete skeleton and it was identified
as the missing child by tuft of hair
and coverall suit which it wore at
the time of its disappearance.

John @. Thomas Will
Head Drive for Red
Cross Members Here

Give million members for 1928,
has been adopted by the American
Red Cross as it's slogan for the 18th
annual roll call, to be held from Ar
mistice day, November 18th, to
Thanksgiving. If this goal is, reached
it will mean an increase Of nearly
100000 over last years enrolment
The goal for Flagstaff has been
set as 500 members as a minimum.
John @. Thomas, superintendent of
the Flagstaff city schools is chairman
of the drive.
Extensive demands for service in
disasters and other emergencies and
a desire on the part of the Red Cross
to widen its activities in the fields
of public health, life saving, first aid
and similar enterprises" said Mr..
Thomas, makes necessary increased
support from the people"
Just how gigantic the task of adj
ministering disasters has become is
evidenced in the annual report of the
Red Cross for the closing fiscal year.
Relief was given in a total of 81
major and minor disasters in the
United States and in 81 foreign dis
asters. Included in the list of the do
mestic disasters were the Florida
hurricane and the Mississippi Valley
flood, which affected a total of more
than 100000 people.
During the roll call more than
250,000 men and women, wearing the
Red Cross workers badge, will go
among the people inviting them to
join for 1928. All will be volunteer
workers. Dues collected will finance
local Red Cross work, such as public
health nursing and service to world
war veterans, and supply funds also
for the international and national
Red Cross program
Flagstaff will play its part in en-
listing members. Officers of the To-
cal chapter are now mapping plans
for the annual enrolment. These of
ficers are DR.. NJ G.. Fronske, chapter
chairman; DR.. E. S. Miller, vice.
Mrs. Forrest w. Aver.

FLAGSTAFF LUMBERJACKS
AND LOYOLA LIONS MEET
In BIG GRID BATTLE ON
LOCAL FIELD TOMORROW

Coach "Rudie" Lavik of the Flag
staff Teachers college Lumberjacks
has been priming his cohorts all week
in preparation for the toughest game
on the local colleges football sched-
dule, with Loyola college of Los An
geles, tomorrow at McMullen field.
Loyola by far represents one of the
best football aggregations on the Pa
cific coast, ranking with Stanford last
year in being the only undefeated
teams in both the southern California
and Pacific coast conferences. Loyola,
like her big brother, Notre Dame, is
not associated with any conference
but plays the field, meeting such
teams as Occidental, Pomona, Whit
tier and others.
Saturdays game will marks the sec
ond meeting of the Lumberjacks with
the Pacific coast team In their tilt
last year the local boys were, in a
measure, handicapped. Leaving here
in the evening on a private sleeper
attached to the mail train, the Lum-
berjacks arrived in Los Angeles at
ten o'clock and it was almost eleven
and past when the last Of the lads had
their breakfast. And with only time
to steal an hours rest the boys were
logged out and hustled off to the ath-
letic field to meet their opponents. In
the face of these adversities the Flag
staff squad was able to hold Loyola
Lions to "a 287 to Z score.
The only comparative perfunctory
dope at hand is the game Loyola had
with Tempe early in the season. The
Tempe Bulldogs were able to hold the
Californians'to 25 to 8 score, Johnny
Riggs, the dininutive ball toter, boot
ing the pigskin between the uprights
for Tempe's lone tally. Loyola lost
only three of her regulars from last
