/. It Is not generally understood that
the services Of the Visiting Nurse So
ciety are available to all residents
within the District. In cases where
the patient is capable of paying for
services, an actual cost fee is charged
for visits, according to the time re-
qufred and the nature of the case. If
person Is unable to pay the usual
fee, then they may give whatever they
can afford. In cases where the pa
tieit can give nothing. no. charge is
made. There have. been cases where
persons unable to stand the expense
have made payments which have been
refunded by the society upon the dis
covering of the patients financial con-

DECISION AWAITED
ON DALE MEASURE
House Republican Steering
Committee Expected 70 De-.
eide Soon on Vote Date.

Decision as to when the Dale bill to
liberalize the Civil Service retirement
law, which has passed the Senate and
has been granted special rule in the
House. will be allowed to come up for
a. vote in the House, is expected 70 De
made at the next meeting or the Re-
publican steering committee, early this
week
House Leader Tilson. Chairman Smell
Of the rules committee and Chairman
Lehlbach of the Civil Service committee
have been beseiged by fellow members
who's are pledged to push the bill
through. In response to THE ir1sistent
demand that 1t Be- allowed to come up
for a vote early in the present session,
iMr. Tilsop late yesterday stated he
would, bring the matter up for q de-
Scisioia as soon as the steering COM
mittee meets to draft It's program of
legislation.
House leaders emphasize that when
they consider in executive session the
policy of allowing the retirement bill
to come up for a vote in the House,
they must consider the probability that
it faces Presidential veto If passed.
Chairman Smell of the rules COM
mittee bore the brunt of blame for
failure to get the measure passed In
the House last session after 1t had
passed the. Senate. It became known
that Mr.. Smell held up the special rule.
ordered by his committee, out of defer
enre to the wishes of the President.
It Is generally conceded that with
the great majority of the House mem
bers pledged to vote for the measure,
it will pass. easily when a vote Is al
lowed and, it is said, there is little
doubt but that. 1t can be passed over
the Presidents expected veto. Opinion
Yesterday. even among Republican
leaders. seemed to be that the bill will
be passed at the short session. ,,

American Federation Of Labor has
openly supported the Dale bill as part

Funeral services and burial of
T. G.. Wright, Al, many years a
prominent citizen of Nogales,
who passed away Wednesday,
morning at his Walnut Grove
home, after suffering several
years with tuberculosis, we're
held this morning under the aus.
pices of the Masonic lodge, in
terment being in the Masonic
cemetery.
Deceased, who is survived by
a wife and son, Gray, came to
Nogales in 1916 and was employ.
ed by the Southern Pacific of
Mexico railroad. Soon be rose
to the responsible position of
assistant terminal superinten.
dent. which position be held
until February, 1926, when ill
health compelled him to retire
from business. He was Mason

interest in civic affairs and at
one time was president of the
Nogales Rotary club. He also
served as a director of the No.
gales Chamber of Commerce.
Gray Wright was a man among

UNCER AiNTY

The question of the hour is
What is going to happen in
Mexico?" The great fear of a
serious disturbance hovers over
the country and citizens of am
bos Nogales fervently hope that
peace will prevail. A revolt
would mean setting the progress
sive program that was spring
ing SO rapidly forward, years
behind. General Alvaro Obre-
gon, friend of the United States,
promoter of good relations, and
extensive agricultural developer,
is dead. His death may lead to
turbulent times for the Mexican
republic.
Rumors, rumors, rumors, are
more than easy to obtain at pre-
sent. A strict censorship has
been put on the dispatches from
Mexico City and Mexican Off
cials are naturally closely OBJ
serving instructions sent out
from the capital
Mexican officials seem intense
ly distressed over the ruthless
assassination of General Obre-
gon and the appalling danger
which may result from the fam
atical act of stupidity. We are
assured, however, by the best
information possible that there
is absolutely no cause of alarm
and that the Gales government
will be strongly supported.
The present exterior appear
ance in Nogales is as peaceful
as ever. There are no added
restrictions along the interna-
tional line and the expected en-
forcement of more rigid cross
ing permits has not developed.
What discontents against the
Gales government are planning
behind closed doors is, however,
still uncertain. 1t is to be sim
cerely hoped, however, that per-
sonal ambition is forgotten and
will not act as an incentive for
armed action, and that the peace
and prosperity Of the country
will be the first consideration in
any steps that are taken. Off
cials of a republican form of
government must bear in mind
that they are the servants of the
people rather than the rulers,
and that a republic can only pro-
gress and maintain peace when
this fundamental principle is re-
allied and lived up to.-Herald.

RECORD ABSTRACT is MADE

Perhaps the most voluminous
abstract of title which has ever
been drawn up in the state of
Arizona, and unquestionably the
bulkiest which has ever been
seen in the Santa Cruz county
court house. was finished last
night by Miss Eliza beth Van
Horn, for the Kino Mining com
pany. The great pile of docu
ments is 400 pages long and
takes up in minute detail the
exact properties and holdings Of
the local mining company. The
task took Miss Van Horn five
weeks on the typewriter.
The Kino Mining company has
prepared this abstract in connec
ton with the pending deal with
a New York firm which was re
Gently represented here by one
M. II. F. Koch. Mr.. Koch ob
tanned a six months option of the
mining properties of the Kino
Mining company and work is
now underway so that diamond
drilling can start in the near
future. At the end of the six
months period, if the specimens
prove satisfactory, the New York
firm plans to take over the Kino
Mining company's property for
$750,O00 and, it is said, spend
S. 100000 for development work.
