NEGRO CHARGED WITH
CHILD MURDER SCARED
TO DEATH, IS CLAIMED

Fright, failure to accept food and
cold, stark terror, are attributed as
the main causes of the death of Sgd
ney Smith, a negro inmate of the No
gales, Sonora Jail, charged with the
brutal murder of two and one-half
year old Mexican child.
Smith was found yesterday morn
ing by prison guards, with staring
eyes, mouth agape, and an expression
of horror on his face, stone dead.
His giant frame had stiffened,
plainly showing that death occurred
several hours previous. His once 1.-THE
body lay huddled on the cold floor of
the Gagged bastile where he was taken
just a day or so previous to await
trial before the Mexican courts

California Getting
Busy With States

Regret and surprise were expressed
by Mulford Winsor, secretary of Ari-
zona's Colorado river commission and
president of the state senate, at the
announcement that the California
commission was actively engaged at
the present time on trip to upper
basin states of the Colorado.
''The alacrity of the California
commissioners in visiting the upper
basin states, even before the law Gre
ating their office becomes effective, is
surprising and in way disconcert-
ing" stated Mr.. Winsor.
"When members of the Arizona
commission visited Sacramento re-
Gently" Secretary Winsor said, "be-
basin, and urged Governor Young of
California to informally designate the
California commissioners--and he en-
couraged them to believe that he
would do so-it was with the ex-
pressed idea thought to be mutually
entertained that California-Arizona
conferences be entered upon at once
and an amicable understanding expe-
dited.
"It now appears" observed Mr..
WlnSor, CnaC the Call1OrnlanS regard
it as more important to make their
presentations to others than to treat
with Arizona, the most vitally inter-
ested party. This is regrettable in
that it adds to the feeling long en-
gendered in Arizona and which has
been altogether too much encouraged
by California's general atttiude--that
California is concerned only with her
selfish desired involved.
''It gives color to the prevalent Ari-
zona belief that if California can en-
list sufficient support to take what
she wants, regardless of what princi-
Piles of rights or justice may be vio-
lated, she will not hesitate to do so,
and to ignore Arizona in the taking.
"On the other hand, there is ray
of satisfaction for Arizona in the
course adopted by the Californians.
1t has the look of a sign of weakness.
1t is evident that they are dubious as
to the effect clear understanding of
Arizona's reasonable claims may have
upon the other states, and anxious
that no time shall be lost in offsetting
the Arizona representations"

Claim Oil Rates To
Arizona Too High

The rate hearing brought upon the
petition of the Arizona Corporation
Commission, three large oil COM
panies, and a number of intervenors
opened at Phoenix Monday morning
before Examiner Disque of the inter-
state commerce commission in the
house chamber at the state capitol.
The petitioners are seeking to have
the railroads lower the rates on gaso-
line and distillate from producing
points in California to all distributing
points in Arizona.
Charles E. Payne, traffic expert,
representing the corporation commits
sion and other petitioners, occupied
the witness stand the greater part of
the morning.
The corporation commission and it's
allied petitioners set forth that the
rates on gasoline and distillates from
the California producing points to all
Arizona points, are excessive, unrea-
sonable and unduly prejudicial as
compared with rates charged from
California to other states, including
Utah and Wyoming. The general de-
scription of the case, as made by the
petitioners, was a sweeping and de-
tailed charge that Arizona and New
Mexico are being deliberately bur-
dened by the carriers in the imposi-
ton of tariffs altogether unjustified.
Payne testified that Arizona is
forced to pay an excessive price for
having its gasoline and oil shipped
from the coast state. His testimony
brought objections from the railroad
attorneys.

HEAVY WINDS DO
MUCH DAMAGE SOUTH

High winds sweeping over portions
of central Arizona Thursday night de-
molished the Catholic church, tore the
roof from a residence, blew down sew
eral fences and numerous trees at
Gila Bend. The church literally was
picked up by the wind, and carried
across the street into the front yard
of a residence. The storm at Gila
Bend lasted for more than an hour
Rains of torrential proportions visited
Roosevelt, Horse Mesa, Mormon Flat
and points in the vicinity of Florence.
The storm at Roosevelt and at
Horse Mesa was of three hours dura-
tion.

ARIZONA HAS GREATEST SINGLE
BODY OF WHITE PINE IN WORLD

Here are some facts which surprise
our eastern friends who have been led
to believe that the state of Arizona is
all great desert waste:
Arizona contains the largest single
body of white pine timber in the
world. In its forests are 18 billion
feet of standing timber. OF this
amount IL billion feet is controlled by
the United States forest service; five
billion feet by the United States IN
dian service; $50 million feet is in pri-
vate holdings, and 230 million feet is
owned by the state.
Arizona's lumber industry produces
200,OO0,000 board feet of lumber a
year, valued at $6,250,000.
Employs 2,200 men.
Has an annual pay roll of S3,000,-
900.
Expends over 100000 year for
supplies.
Pays over 100000 year in state
and county taxes.
Pays over $450,000 year for tim
Der to federal and state governments.
Includes 81 mills, although 95 per
cent of the production comes from
the five large mills at Flagstaff, Nc
Nary, Williams and Standard.
Markets for Arizona lumber are
furnished in Arizona by the mining
industry, the building industry, by
packing, powder and, other industrial
plants, by box factories, by sash and
door manufacturers. National mar
kets are furnished by sash and door
manufacturers, box factories and
building industries throughout the
east and middle west.
Arizona forests are under govern
ment control, and with this system Of
reforestation and protection the Ari-
zona lumber industry can operate on
the present scale indefinitely.

Navajo Indian Says Ike
Barth No Heap Savvy

One of the mattresses at the Owl
Drug and Candy company came in for
some heavy suspicion on the part of a
Navajo Indian interpreter and lzaac
Barth, Albuquerque attorney, for
some little amount of Kidding" as the
result of an occurrence which took
place last night when the attorney and
a couple of friends were dining at the
restaurant.
Barth, who, by the way, became a
grandfather today, with two friends
was seated at a table in the Owl when
the Navajo came in and took the
fourth chair at the table. When the
three men had finished their meal,
Rarth paid the check and left tip
for the waitress and the trio walked
out. A few minutes later, Barth
noticed that he had left his cigarette
case on the table and returned, to find
the Navajo guarding it and a box OF
matches very carefully.
81 saved these for you," he said,
''but that girl got away with your
change. I tried to get it for you, too,
but she wouldn't give it up, but know
which one she. is, she is wearing a
yellow dress, and we will get it back
tonight" The Navajo, later telling
some of his acquaintances in the fed
eral court of the occurrence, made
the startling announcement that "it
didn't take much to be lawyer, any
way" because he had heard Mr.. Barth
declare that 'four and four made six. =
This took some little explaining on
the part of the attorney, who assured
his friends that he had remarked that
s'four and four made eight and it was
six of kind" referring to case he
was trying in the federal court

Tom Chez, He
Goes Plumb Free

Twenty-Five indictments on charges
ranging from violation of the Dyer
and prohibition acts to forgery and
statutory charges were returned by
the federal grand jury in the district
court at Prescott Friday.
Only one of the matters presented
to the jury for investigation was dis
missed and that, murder charge
pending against Tom Chez, came as a
distinct surprise to court attaches.
Chez was charged with killing Joe
Scott on the Indian reservation near
Leupp on May 16 Of this year. The
testimony presented to the grand jury
clearly disclosed that Chez had acted
in self defense, it was reported, and
that no conviction could be secured, SO
he was discharged from custody.

Mexico Has Snakes
Some Are Real

Mexico is seeing snakes these days.
They are real snakes, however, ac-
cording to bulletin received by Juan
Evaristo Anchondo, Mexican consul at
Tucson.
Here's the story, according to the
bulletin
"Huge serpents measuring 2h
meters in length have been reported
from Cerro Gordo, in the state OF
Jalisco, and have caused much alarm
in the vicinity. Five persons who
claim to have seen the reptiles say
that they had killed calf and were
devouring it. They are also said to
have killed pigs and other small ami
mails. Another individual states that
he was pursued by one of the reptiles,
but managed to escape on horseback
after a race Of about a hundred
yards"
And speaking of seeing snakes,
here's another bulletin received by
Senior Anchondo:
"Orders have been issued by Primo
Villa Michel, acting governor OF the
federal district, prohibiting the sale OF
alcoholic beverages in dance halls"
And here's still another:
"Marihuana, or scanabis mexicana,
valued at nearly half a million pesos!
has been seized by the authorities at
Alpanoca, in the state of Puebla, and
was burned in the public square. Sew
eral persons engaged in this traffic
including one of the local authorities
were arrested.
"The extensive plantation where
this drug was grown was also de-
stroyed."

Of Jerome, Is Dead

Word was received here yesterday
of the sudden death of 7. F. Miller,
80, pioneer of Jerome, and retired
owner and founder of the T. F. Mill
ler stores of the Verde district. Mr..
Miller, who had apparently been in
good health, died suddenly at o'clock
Wednesday evening at his home in
Los Angeles. Walter and Evans Mil

services which will be conducted there.

California where he had migrated
from his home in Iowa. About 33
years ago he managed the old Bullard
road shipping point which was at that
time the copper outlet and supply CEN
ter of the district.-Jerome News.
