Finds $1,000, 900
Diamond iR Apple

PARIS. Every once in while a
travelling salesman or some other for
tunate person bites on d pearl while
eating oysters, but it remained for a
chambermaid in Paris hotel to bite
en- a $2,000,000 diamond.
The maid, whose name seems to
have been overlooked in the scramble,
was munching on luscious apple
found in the room of an absent guest,
when she nearly broke tooth. A
large and brilliant stone Of rose tint
had been concealed in the fruit. She
took it to a policeman and then came
the revelation that the "Grand Ccnde'
stolen from the museum OF the Due
D'Aumale's chauteau in Chantilly in
October, had been recovered.
Leon Kauffer, the careless guest
who left the apple in an open valise
for the modern Eve to find, is now a
guest of the police, together. with
Emile Souter and two other gentle
men described as fences" of stolen
property.

Prescott Is Dead

Robert Emmett Morrison, dean of
Yavapai county's attorneys and
pioneer in Arizona, succumbed to a
lingering illness at his home in Pres
cott Tuesday morning while mem.
bers Of his family formed a sorrow
full group about him after keeping
vigil at his bedside feT the last ten
days. Kept up by his indomitable will

High Court Voids
Commission Award

In the first case before the state
supreme court on which a construct
ion of the workmen's compensation
act was asked, the court has hand
ed down a decision setting aside the
award made by the state industrial
commission, created by the last leg
islature. This decision, therefore,
sets the first precedent to be follow
ed by the court in the appeal by the
commission, the insuring company
or the beneficiary of the insurance.
The case was that of the Federal
Mutual Liability Insurance company
versus the state industrial commits
sion and Cleve w. Van Dyke, r. b.
Sims and Burt III. Clingnan, COM
missioners. 1t involved the award
made to the dependents of George
Roberts deceased. Roberts died Dec
ember II last year from injuries
received while working for the Salt
River Valley Water Users associa-
ton.
The parents of Roberts were
awarded $2080 together with fune-
raj expenses not to exceed $3.50. The
insuring Company moved for re-
hearing, was denied it, and secured
from the supreme court, a writ of
certiorari Under the provisions of the
worlmen's compensation action.
The court, in setting aside the
award, states that it is of the opin-
ion that the evident intent of the
legislature was that both parents
and brothers and sisters are to he
governed by paragraph 6 Of the law
whether the dependency be either
partial or total. Therefore, it con-
cludes, the commission was without
jurisdiction. Paragraph six has to do
with the total dependency of the sur
viving relatives. Roberts parents
were not wholly dependent upon him.

Income Tax Forms
Sent to Taxpayers

Forms for filing income tax re-
turns for the calendar year 1926 are
being distributed to thousands of
Arizona taxpayers daily, it was an
nounced by John r. Towles, collector
of internal revenue for Arizona.
Forms for the filing of individual
returns will be. received by those tax
payers, who filed similar returns for
the year 1925, within a few days.
This will allow all those who can inn
mediately make out their returns to
forward them to the office of the
collector now as the filing period is
from January to March H.
Assured by the bureau of Internal
revenue Of prompt service in furnish
ing the necessary forms, taxpayers
need experience no delay in the filing
of their income tax returns this
year, Towles declared. While the fill
ing period does not expire until mid
night March Is there is no reason
why taxpayers should not file their
returns early to avoid the usual last
minute rush.
The early filing of returns will give
the local internal revenue office the
opportunity of making an audit of
the returns ard give the taxpayers
the advantage of correcting any pos
sible mistakes before the closing of
the filing period.
Forms fer filing individual, corpor-
alton, partnership, information, fl
duciary and other returns required by
the revenue act are now available at
the internal revenue office at $40
West Washington street, Phoenix.
Failure to receive a form does not
relieve the taxpayer of his obligation
to file his return.

Chestnuts From
Little Acorns Grow

C. R. Beiderman, 85-year-old her
nit of the Huachuca mountains, IS
doing such novel things in the way OF
grating commercial nut trees on for
est trees that three professors from
the university horticultural depart
ment ard a class of students will
spend part of their Christmas vaca-
ton with him. They will stay in his
log hut in the mountains and hear
him tell of his discoveries with trees
during rs years of experimental
work.
Beidernaan at the beginning Of his
grating work, perfected a graft of
his own. This IS so successful in
grating nut trees that it has come
into general usage the country over.
A new bulletin on nut culture by the
u. S. department of agriculture tells
all about the graft the old Arizona
hermit discovered.
Notable among Beiderman's dlscov-
cries are two. He found by persist
ent work that English walnuts could
be grated on native wild walnut
trees, and made to bear. This discov-
cry came as q result of years of ex-
perimental work. Deer running
through the woods knocked out his
scions and made the work very dis
agreeable, but he persisted until he
proved his theories.
Lately he has discovered that he
can graft Italian chestnuts on the
native oak trees in the mountains and
make them bear.
Although he has devoted much Of
his time in recent years to a study Of
trees, the old hermit is essentially an
entomologist. He has collected bugs
for 25 years for the Smithsonian In
stitute and the Academy of Science
and is reputed to have sent in more
new specimens Of insects than any
other man in the United States. His
home in the mountains is near Here
ford, Arizona.
The University of Arizona has
awarded Beiderman an honorary de-
gree for his work with trees and his
contributions to general horticultural
knowledge. By men who know him
intimately he is called the Luther
Burbank Of Arizona.

Cardinals HYMN
/ BAN ST|RS DEBATE
Musical Circles Divided on
Merit of "Beautiful Isle
of Somewhere"
By the Associated Press.

Yy the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, October S.--The action
Of Cardinal O'Connell Of Boston in
barring from the Catholic funeral
ritual in the churches under his juris-
diction, a hymn, Beautiful Isle of
Somewhere" was a subject of discus
sion in both church and musical circles
today.
The cardinal declared the song to
be cheap. trashy and vulgar" sob
producer which had no place in the
dignitied ritual of his church.
Cardinal Hayes and Bishop William
II. Manning refused to comment upon
the action of Cardinal OConnell. but
spokesman for Cardinal Hayes de-
clared that while the head of the New
York diocese of the church would not
discuss the subject. Cardinal O'Connell
had a perfect right to ban the hymn
in his jurisdiction if he considered it
improper.
Critics Opinion.
Deems Taylor. composer and critic,
remembered the hymn from his boy
hood. It's no masterpiece" he said,
land it would not rank with Parsifal,'
but / would not he so positive in con.
demning it as Cardinal O'Connell."
The Rev. John Haynes Holmes
never uses the ola hymn III the services
of his church. his secretary said. The
melody is of the same type encoun
tered in the familiar Moody and Sanky
hymns of a past generation, 'maudlin
and sentimental, funeral sob-maker."
according to Mr.. Moores' spokesman.
Several music publishers declared
the hymn to be "cheap and mushy,"
asserting that no competent musician
classified it as worthy of considera-
ton.
Praises Hymn.
A dissenting opinion was voiced by
William Guard. ambassador of Gatti-
CaZazZa. maestro of the Metropolitan
Opera Co. While not familiar with
'Bea utiful Isle of Somewhere" Mr..
Guard knows many of the Moody and
Sanky hymns. the composers of which
he declared to have been possessed of
a marvellous gift of melody.
Were the modern writer's of SEN
timental songs to take the old hymns
and change the rhythm bit" he said.
they would have an ineXhaustible
supply of melodic motifs
