cows leg and explain the incident.

hind quarter of beef lying in the
middle of the alley in plain sight. 1t

when the officers had passed. A care
full check of all butcher shops in the
vicinity failed to discover any broken
locks or signs of robbery.
The police exhausted many theories
They believe that the quarter of beef
has an Illegal taint to it. Experience
has taught that beef that might be
lost while being delivered at night is
likely to prove stolen property to be-
gin with and this might account for
the present quarter except that the
officers do not know where it might

Former Postmaster General
Flies From Tucson to
San Diego

TUCSON, March S. - That the
southwest is particularly adapted for
air mail service was the statement
made here by Frank Fl. Hitchcock,
former postmaster general ana pioneer
in air mail service, upon his return
from an air flight to San Diego in
the interest OF air mail service.
He was particularly well impressed
with the excellent airport at Yuma,
which he inspected Thursday, in
company with E. S. Worthington,
publisher of the Yuma Sun. and
other leading citizens. This field Is
located three miles southeast Of the
center OF Yuma, and is in the center
of Yuma, and is in the center OF
a wide, flat area, well adapted for
landing
At short intervals all the way
from Tucson to the coast there arr
adequate landing fields, N1r. hitchcock
said. A number of these are well
developed, and they are supplemented
with emergency fields. which means
that planes travelling this route which
develop trouble, will not be TAR from
an emergency field. Weather con
ditions for year-round flying are also
favorable over this southern route.
He Started Air Mai
AS postmaster general under Presi-
dent Taft, Mr.. Hitchcock inaugurated
the first air mail service in this
country. The service has developed
until now every large section of the
mail service, with the exception Of
the southwest.
Mr.. Hitchcock was interested in
the united appeal OF communities OF
the southwest to secure air mail
service while here on business OF the
Tucson Citizen, OF which he is owner.
He has promised to use his influence
in Washington calling upon the
postmaster general and others with
the view of pointing out the need
of the air line throughout the
southwest.

CONSUL REPORTS
FOR MISSING MAN
DATES FOR YEAR

Through the detective abilities of
the United States foreign service,
Vice Consul John E. Jones of Aqua
Prieta reported yesterday that Calvin
w. Cane, lost in Mexico and searched
for by the consular service, has been
located The Dispatch played part
in the finding for, month ago the
list of missing persons being searched
for by the consular service was pub
lished in The Dispatch and man,
away down in the interior of Mexico,
wrote to the vice consul that he
had seen Cane in Mexico City five
years ago.
This man mentioned another man
whom he believed had seen Cane
more recently, The vice consul wrote
letter to this second man who wrote
back that he had seen Cane three
years ago and referred the service to
a third man who finally reported
Canes residence a year ago. While
the full particulars of the continual
ton of the search. have not yet
reached the consular offices here it
is understood that a fourth man was
found who knew of Canes present
residence so that he was found.
This case is simply an instance
taken from the recent records which
indicates one phase of the work of tn
consular service which is spread all
over the world and cares for the
interests of the United States in
every corner of the globe and searches
for missing persons everywhere. In
this particular instance there was no
clew in the case except. that Cane
had been known to be in Mexico five
years ago.
