Tunney Still Champion Defeating Dempsey
|. B. KOCH RESIGNS AS
MAYOR AND PRESIDENT OF
HOTEL TO GET MORE REST

|. b. Koch has notified city council
of his resignation as mayor and also
has resigned the presidency of the
board of directors of the Monte Vista,
Flagstaff's community hotel. Both
designations are to become effective
the last of this month.
Mr.. Koch says his resignation car
ries with it also resignation both from
city council and the hotel directorate.
Mr.. Koch's reason in resigning is
to have more time for his duties as
president and general manager of
the Arizona Lumber & Timber Co. as
we'll as more time to rest. His ply
sician has for some time insisted that
he was overriding it, and that he must
give up some of his work.
Mr.. Koch was elected mayor follow
ing his able work during the preceding
two years as member of city council
His election as mayor did not come
direct from the people, as it was an
established custom under the town
form of government for the new coun-
ell to elect as mayor the one among
them who had received the largest
vote at the polls. Mr.. Koch received
the largest vote, and council ratified
the peoples expressed desire.
He devoted a great deal of time
and his great ability to overseeing
the building of Flagstaff's new water
reservoir, the building of the new
pipeline from springs to reservoirs,
and the extension and Improvement
of the distribution system here in
town. Other important Improvement
matters also came under his general
supervision, and none of them were
slighted. Stricter economy was intro
duced under his leadership. During
his administration much more has
been accomplished in the way of street
and other improvements, with lower
corresponding cost, than was before
thought possible.
When a new council is elected, next
spring, the mayor will be elected by
direct vote of the people, as that is
provided for in the new city charter.

MRS. L. R. HALL AWARDED
POSSESSION WEATHERFORD
HOTEL BY SUPREME COURT

Mrs. Lula r. Hall is given control
as tenant of the Weatherford hotel,
Flagstaff, owned and operated by Mr..
and Mrs. John w. Weatherford, in a
decision handed down by the state SUI
preme court on Monday. The decision
was written by Justice Alfred c..
Lockwood and was concurred in by
Chief Justice Henry d. Ross and JUS
tice A. G. McAlister, making it unani-
nous.
C. b. Wilson of this city was Mrs.
Halls attorney, Frank Harrison OF
Flagstaff and E. S. Clark OF Phoenix
attorneys for the Weatherfords.
Mrs. Hall in 1919 leased the Wealth
erford hotel for five years from May
z. 1920, at a rental of $4,000, to
contribute $4,000 to improvements to
the property, said improvements even
tually to revert to the Weatherfords,
and to keep the hotel in repair. She
was also to provide all. furniture re-
uuired for the operation Of the hotel,
but this furniture was to remain her
property. The lease included this
clause:
"It is further agreed that the party
of the second part upon the expiration
Of this lease shall have the option to
renew the same for a like period at a
price to be agreed upon, and shall
have the preference right to the same
at any price which may be agreed
upon by the party of the first part:
Mrs. Weatherford did not sign this
original lease, but was present when
it was read and discussed by her hus-
band and Mrs Hall and was also pres
ent when they signed it.
Some months before the lease ex-
pired Mrs. Hall took up the question
of renewal with Mr.. and Mrs. Wealth
erford. Mrs. Weatherford strenu-
ously objected to renewal. She con-
tended that the property was COM
munity property and that since she
did not sign the lease of 1919 1t was
void and in no manner binding on

new WEBER BUILDING
TO BE LEASED BY {. [.
CHASE MOTOR COMP ANY

The E. L. Chase Motor company
will occupy the new building being
constructed by Webber brothers, it
was announced yesterday, and long
term lease has been drawn between
the two parties.
Ground was broken for the founda-
tions and floor Wednesday morning
and the work will be rapidly rushed to
completion, according to Pete Sol
berg, contractor. Plans call for COM
pletion in approximately 45 working
days.
The company, of which E. L. Chase
is president, has made extensive plans
for the layout and equipment of head
quarters. Besides devoting a large
part of the building to a salesroom
for showing the latest models Of
Dodge cars, special attention has
been made in the plans for a large
modern repair shop. This shop will
be 90 feet long and 35 feet wide with
all the latest equipment. 1t will be
so arranged that at least 10 mechan-
les can work in it at the same time.
Work pits in the floor will provide
for four cars, while all the power ma
chinery, including a reboring machine,
lathe, emery wheels, drill press, gear
pressing outfit, air compressor and
other power tools will be grouped at
one end.
Mr.. Chase is enthused over the plans
for the salesroom, which will provide
room for the showing of six cars The
floor will be of colored tile, matched
with a decorative ceiling and special
lighting will make the showroom a
model of its kind A large plate glass
front will give full visibility of the
showroom from the street.
The E. L. Chase Motor company has
only been in this city since June Is.
Since that time it has enjoyed sue
cess and has taken place in the com
munity as one of its permanent busi-
nesses.

LEES FERRY BOAT VAINLY
BUSTED ITS HALTER STRAP

Part of the rigging holding the
cable of the county ferry boat at Lees
Ferry was torn away in sudden %
foot rise of that stream last week
and the boat was carried a couple
hundred yards down stream and
against shore, where it was made fast
until the water subsidized, when it was
again harnessed up where it belonged.
At frequent intervals recently people
crossing the ferry have been held up
for a day or more until the water
lowered enough to make passage
fairly safe. Long before this time
next year the new bridge over the
Colorado river near Lees Ferry will
have been completed and then all
trouble and danger of that sort will
be thing of the past.

ANTELOPE CASE TO BE
HEARD TOMORROW BY
JUSTICE H. M. RICHWINE

E. Newberry, living near Belle
mont, viii go before Justice of Peace
Harry Richwine tomorrow for pre-
hninary hearing for possessing the
head of an antelope in violation of
the state game laws. The case will
take a peculiar angle, owing to the
fact that Newberry claims to have
traded a. deer's head for the antelope
with Alvy Carver. Carver at a pre-
liminary hearing last week said he had
found the head in the woods near
Fort Valley.
The head of the antelope was found
when Deputy Game Wardens R. E.
MeAllister of Clarkdale and Dave
Greer of Phoenix made a search of
Newberry's home. They allege that
antelope bones and the wings and car
casses of turkeys were scattered all
around the home.
The game wardens are inclined to
doubt Carver's story that he found
the antelope head in the woods. He
claimed it had lain two weeks on the
ground before he picked it up and
traded it to Newberry. The wardens
believe that if the head had been on
the ground as long as claimed it would
have been completely decayed. The
meat still on the skull looked as
though it had been dipped in brine
for preservation.
The antelope is one of the rarest
animals in Arizona. Everyone here
IS inclined to protect the antelope and
because of it the number is rapidly
increasing. Possession of dead an
telope carries minimum penalty of
500 fine The state also may sue
for the value of the animal

REFUSAL OF TICKET
TO NEGRO UPHELD
|. c. C. Acts in Pullman Com
pany CaSe-DeniaI of Dis
elimination Made.

BY the Associated Press
An effort to collect damages from
the Pullman co. for refusal Co sell
tickets to a negro. While at the same
time such tickets We're sold to white
persons. failed today when the inter
state Commerce Commission held That
the section of the law under which an
action was brought could not be VIC
lated by such d. refusal.
The commission took the position
that the refusal was not a discrinina-
ton under section . of the commerce
act, since It did not involve any sit
uation by which one person obtained
transporta ton for less than another.
A complaint made by j. j. Harden,
a negro lawyer of Chicago, seeking
5000 damages from the Pullman
co. on the ground that 1t refused to
sell him accommodations, was dls-
missed.
The Pullman Co. at the same
time, denied that it's agents or en-
ployes were ever authorized or IN
structed to refuse Pullman accommo-
dations to negro passengers.
Harden alleged that he attempted
to buy a Pullman berth from Atlanta
to Chicago July Z, 1928, and that the
ticket agent and the Pullman CON
ductor on the train both refused to
make the sale. Both of these men
testified they had frequently sold
herths to negroes and had no recol-
lection of refusing to make such a
sale at any time.
