j. S. RAISES BAN CNl
aanalS INTO MEXICO
lciion Viewed as Hard Blow
to Security Of Gales
Reg me.

Washington, D. c. The American
government has decided to terminate
the anti-smuggling treaty with Mex
leo, which has been one OF the princi'
pal barriers to the reyolutionists in
Mexico securing arms.
Formal notice to this affect has been
served on the Mexican government, it
was announced at the state depart
ment.
Although this step on the part of
the United States has no relation to
the existing embargo on arms and am
munition 10 Mexico, it will in all prob
ability open the door to considerable
smuggling of rifles and war materials
across the border,
The abrogation of the treaty was ac-
companied by reports that this action
presages the eventual lifting of the
embargo Or, arms. but state depart
ment officials declined TO make any
comment on this phase of it.
The treaty provided for an exchange
of information on all smuggling activi-
ties originating on either side of the
border. On these American tips
Mexican border authorities have been
able to make numerous big hauls, and
20 effectually stop almost all arms ant
| ,rnn1urition
This exchange OF information viii
low cease, and 1t is probable that
score Of American agents along thu
Border, sent there after the treaty wa
igned. will now be withdrawn
Recent press dispatches from Mex
ico have emphasized the growth am
scope Of revolutionary actiyitie

$1,000 month, which with the money
he has laid by and other money loaned
on good collateral reasonably insures
him against worry for the rest OF ms

Sandoval is now 65. He began as

1t was Burnett who was the prime

and who must have exerted almost
superhuman strength when he pulled

Here They COnae-Thdt
NeW Brass Band! It's
Going To Be Good, Too

Soon Flagstaff will be boasting of
the Highland Park brass band. James
Billingslea is business manager of a
group of earnest colored boys who
have been faithfully practicing twice
a week since last July in the court
house assembly ROOM Every time
they play there are appreciative aud
fences within short distance. They
are making fine strides toward the
time when they can appear in public
in competition with the best, probably
by May |.
The boys are all local chaps and
the band viii be a town product. The
handsome instruments are almost paid
for About $75 yet remains to be
raised of the original 1897, Of which
$199 was donated by public spirited
persons, and when this is done they
hope to acquire uniforms.
Billingslea was adamant in keeping
the band going. When occasionally
one of the original members left town,
he arranged to continue payments on
his instrument himself, later find
ing someone else to take ii. Vicissi-
tudes and hard luck aplenty have
tried, Intellectually. to break up this
worthy endeavor; money has often
been hard to find, discouragements Of
one kind and another have failed to
dampen their ardor and now success
seems to be theirs.
This is the personnel: James Bill
| lingslea, business manager and play
er of the bass drum or bass horn; Z.
w. Garrison, who works at the Ari-
zona Lumber & Timber mill, alto
saxophone; Frank Walker of Bah
bits, B clarinet; Prince Simon, of the
Arizona Lumber & Timber CO., bass
horn; Ed Fowler of the Commercial
hotel, melaphone; Johnny Johnson,
school boy, melaphone; Albert Watts,
slide trombone; Clifford Webb OF
Webber Brothers, slide trombone; Joe
Taylor of Rabbits, cornet; Arliff
| Davis, school boy, clarinet; FL.
Hodges, Of Weatherford hotel, trap
drummer; Ira Coleman of Monte
Vista hotel, tenor saxophone; Andrew
Fuller, alto saxophone. There are five
more instruments now belonging to
the band and it is hoped that they
will be in use soon by new boys COM

Smith Admits Booze
He Made Pretty Poor

Frank Smith, well-known local
lumberjack,. was not at home at the
Ray Eddy ranch southeast of Flag
staff near Fisher Tanks Tuesday
when Under-sheriff D. L. Mckinney
and Deputy Art Vandevier called on
him. But there was no reason why
the officers couldn't have a good
time had they chosen to. For there
was 55 gallons of corn and prune
mash under the floor, nice 10-gal-
lon copper still in the attic and near
" gallon of finished product in a
big bottle.
When Frank got home he was
brought to town. He said he'd just
begun to make booze and didn't real
" know very well how to. This was
evident in the very poor quality and
looks of the stuff he had made It
was pretty cloudy and not SO terribly
strong. Frank said he'd intended
throwing it away and trying to do
better next time.
After some parley between the of
ficers and County Attorney Frank
M. Gold, Frank decided to plead gull.
ty to attempt to make booze" which
he did, Judge j. e. Jones of super
ior court fining him 500 and letting
him off until tomorrow to raise the
money, which it is believed he will
do.
The still is not of the usual worm
variety, but the kind most gener-
allv used to distill water.
