The first work in connection with
the construction Of the new lead

FEELING DYING
DOWN IN MEX.

MEXICO CITY, Jan. 27.-Discus-
sion of possible arbitration of the
differences between Mexico and the
United States over the new oil and
land laws is dying down, pending
some definite move by one or the
other of the governments The atti-
tude of the Mexican authorities con-
tinues to be that of awaiting develop
ments
The oil situation seems to be re-
solving itself into waiting game
also, until the supreme court ruling
is made Attorney General Ortega
Yesterday requested the district court
to speed up action on the amparios
filed with them by the oil companies
so that the case may reach the SUI
preme court at the earliest possible
Gate.
While there has been considerable
reduction of operations in the oil
fields, none of the companies have
complained to the United States en-
bassy regarding the law, nor has the
embassy been requested to make
representations to the Mexican gov
ernment
Revolutionary groups have not
ceased their depredations, and feG-
eral troops are kept busy in various
states fsuppressing disorders and dis
Irersing as best they can the rebel
bands. The former governor of Guer-
trero, Urgano, LAWN, and IL others
have been killed. in the state Of
Morelos in an engagement with the
federals.
Small towns, held for a time by
the revolutionists, have been recap
tured, and although the insurgents
are usually driven off with losses,
enough of them remain to cause corr
siderable trouble at other places.
This guerilla warfare is causing the
war department some anxiety, al
though optimistic reports are issued
from time to time that all is going
well.

nent denying his guilt and express
ing confidence in the outcome. He
was released under $1,000 bond. The

Fort Lauderdale proper into sur
rounding swamp lands. Dry agents,
immigration patrolmen, coast guards
men, and internal revenue Officers
stationed at points of vantage swoop-

lands for operators of stills to ap-
pear
Plans had been carefully laid, the
raiders said, and the gathering of
evidence, was done by an under
cover man who engaged in the liquor
trade here for that purpose. The
under-cover agent first engaged in
manufacturing liquor and then de-
stroyed his still to create the inn
preston that vandals had raided it.
He then appealed for help, they said,
and obtained liquor from various
sources

Even Break With The
Eighth legislature.

PHOENIX, Jan. 81 [P)-Unless Gov

concessions before March 1O no Colo
RADIO river legislation creating
permanent river committee will be
enacted at this session. The lives of
the two existing commissions expire
March 8.
This became evident today when,
after morning and an afternoon
session devoted to discussion and de-
bate over the Jones (Maricopa) bill
providing for commission of ten
members, the senate approved the
measure in committee of the whole,
with certain amendments but retain
ing the clause whereby the governor
is authorized to appoint only three
members.
Meanwhile in the executive office
Governor Hunt reiterated that he
would veto without batting an eye
any measure which deprived him of
the right to appoint at least half
the members of the commission.
''Pve fought this Colorado river
problem out for four years." said the
governor. 1--WE had help, I'll admit,
but am firm in the declaration that
will veto any bill not stipulating
that at least half the members of
any permanent river commission are
to be appointed by the governor. All
ask is an even break with the
legislature"
The Jones bill as it now stands
provides for a commission Of ten
members of which the governor,
speaker of the house and president
of the senate would be members
Three members would be appointed
by the governor and the house and
senate would each elect two members

The first step toward the construc
tion of an electric power line from
Douglas into the Sulphur Springs
valley was made Thursday night
when members Of the Douglas and
Bisbee chambers of commerce ap-
pointed a joint committee to meet
with ranchers in the valley and
organize a power district. This came
after ]. P. Sexton and I. A. Rosok,
Of the Arizona Edison company, had
go fifty fifty with the farmers in
constructing the transmission line.
]. p. Sexton, manager of the Ar1
zona Edison company at Douglas.
announced that careful surveys mad
shown officials of his company that
returns on the Investment would be
too far off for the Arizona Edison
to build the transmission line by
itself, but that his company was
willing to cooperate with the farm
ers in the development of the valley.
Sexton also stated that a bond OF
about $40 an acre by the farmers
would be sufficient for the building
of the line, the cost of which would
be about $4,000 per mile.
The Douglas and Bisbee chambers
of commerce offered to assist in the
development of the project by ap-
pointing joint committee to confer
with the farmers. The committee
appointed from the Douglas chamber
is composed of j. B. Crowell, Albert
Stacy and T. J. Leeson. The Bisbee
committee is Earl o. Solms, Lee
Jovanovitch and Robert Hamilton.
Fred Hubpell, president of the
Douglas chamber of commerce, stated
that the farmers would have no Diff,
Guilty in financing a power district
since the installation of such a line
would immediately enhance the value
