100 talesmen.
Relief was visible in the counter
ances of every court officiai-eyen
the defendants themselves-when
after a last minute battle by a
defense attorney to unseat the jury
failed, Judge Elliott Craig officially
indicted the arbiters.
But the end of the dreary queS-
tioning had not come. Two alternateS
had to be chosen in case OF illness
of any of the regular jurors. and
it was not until the closing minutes
of the days session that TWO women
had been chosen and the jury-select-
ing phase of the trial was ended.
When the IL regular jurors were
accepted by both prosecution and
defense, Attorney Richard Cantillcn,
associate of Jerome Walsh in Hick
mars defense, moved to displace the
entire body on the ground that its
members had served more than the
legal 20 days i'll jury duty. Judge
Craig, however, overruled Cantillon's
challenges and the jury was sworr
as the last act. CT the morning session
of court.
Both Hickman and Hunt appeared
to relax when they realized that the
taking of testimony soon would be
the order OF procedure. It was evi-
dent that both youth were glad thaI
the ordeal was over.
Present again in court today was
Mrs. Toms, widow OF the druggist
who was slain year ago Christmas
eve in his store in Rose Hill,
suburb OF the northeast foothills dis
trict. To her also the end OF the
days OF questioning and parading OF
prospective jurors to and trcm the
box seemed welcome.
Indications tonight were that the

highway commission has won in the
Maricooa court in the fight between
the highway department and the state
treasurer to secure the funds set
aside by the proclamation for the
building of the bridges and am
positive that we are right and that
we will ultimately secure the funds
and get the bridges built"
The bridges referred to were washed
out in a flood last tau Ind temporary
structures have taken their places
over the San Pedro at st. David ana
at Fairbanks.
"The bridge at Fairbanks is a state
project and is r(N1y Tor construction
as soon as funds are available, said
Mcdonald "The other bridge is a
federal aid project and will have to go
through the bureau of public loads
as the highway construction does
In explaining the proclamation ap-
nrcpriation Mcdonald said, mo OBJ
lection to this appropriation through
proclamation was raised at the time
the taxes were levied. There was
certainly an emergency. The taxes
nave peen half paid in now and the
money is in the treasury SO that when
tlle controversy between the treasurer
and the commission is settled, if the
commission wins, the funds can be
secured at once.

Travelled on anywhere. I am not IN
favor of any great extension OF the
present highway system but OF a
steady improvement of the system as
it exists and the connecting OF some
|! missing links. While many in this
section of the state are urging action
in paving here, there are roads in
the state that carry a vastly heavier
traffic than do the roads here and
that are therefore demanding paving
| much more strongly.
'"The route for the Douglas -Rodeo
road may be laid out altogether south
of the Southern Pacific tracks as
there are four grade crossings in the
first IA miles the. way the road is
now and one of the federal aid
stipuIationS is that all unnecessary
grade crossings be eliminated. One
of the surveys made is over an en-
tirely new stretch of country which
is one reason for the long delay in
securing it. The surveys for the
Benson-St. David stretch which were
authorized at the same time as the
Douglas-Rodeo project, have been tin
ished and the office work is nearly
done so that this project should &c

this is that there was very little al

new BOMB PLOT
DISCOVERED BY
CHICAGO POLICE

CHICAGO, Feb. 20-Learning OF
extensive plans for future bombings,
heavy details of police were thrown
about 16 places when lnVestlga-
tors learned they had been marked
by bombers.
At the same time, police edict
was issued that "all gambling houses
in Chicago must close until the bomb
ers are under arrest"
Two men we're arrested, one OF
whom police say, confessed a plot to
blow up q restaurant owned by Mrs.
Martha Francisco.
The confession was made by Joseph
Lusker, "a, an ex-convict.
He was arrested near the Womans
restaurant Lusker admitted, police
say, that Felix Poslin, competitor OF
Mrs Francisco, hired him to do the
lob" Poslins restaurant is located
across the street from that OF Mrs.
Francisco.
Chicagos gamblers, bootleggers are
being sought out by police in the
plans to rid the city of the bombers
who have terrorized judges, investi-
gators and other city officials for the
past several weeks.
Gambling cliques vieing for SUI
premacy were blamed for the most
recent blasts. The dynamite warfare,
quiet for brief period, broke out
anew Friday night when the under
taking establishment of municipal
Judge John Sbarbaro was wrecked.
Inc bombers had been under the

was the political power in that dis
trict, police believe. They blame a
gembling clique who believed Judge
Sbarbaro was favoring an opposing
gang.
While the judge had once been
the power in the district, politicians
said that the leadership recently had
passed into the hands of another.
Louis Barsotti, who, police say, was
competing with Frankie Pope, a
gambler, for the districts patronage,
recently opened a cigar store I'M
mediately it was bombed. Pope's
place had been closed but investiga-
tors say he was conducting gambling
house in the rear of the radio shop
he had purchased.

There were many nurses VINO we're
with the boys when they died. They
had informed mothers that the boys
lips were sealed with the words
mother, my mother. Oh, what a
death, to be calling for his mother.
"Can government ever repay us
for our loss? The cost of this pill
grimage would be very little for the
government to do for us. 1t would
only be fitting to send us across this
year, this being the tenth anniversary
of our great sacrifice, and I am sure
it would not be asking too much.
May we not include the mothers OF
the unknown dead on this trip? There
are so few. The government has
done such good work in Identifying
the bodies. I believe there are only
about 300 left. What comfort it
would be to let these mothers kneel
at one of the graves marked with a
marble cross with these words: Here
lies an honored American soldier
known but to God and be comforted,
thinking it might be her boy"

FOR EMERGENCY

The Douglas city council will meet
in special session a tthe city hall
this evening to secure funds necessary
TOR two emergency projects. The first
project is that of cleaning and re-
constructing the septic tanks into
which the city sewage flows.
The second project is the purchase
OF approximately 1000 feet OF new
hose Tor the fire department. Both
these projects came up at the regular
meeting OF the council a week ago
and were approved by the body An
inspection OF the septic tanks by
the councilmen and mayor convinced
them OF the emergency.
Fire Chief Nemeck asked tos the
new hose. He explained that the
Gadsden fire had proved the weak

very well during the big blaze. He
brought out that the pressure coupl-

pact in Latin America with one or
more nations guaranteeing its opera
ton, as Great Britain and Italy
guarantee the Locarno pact, is i'm
practicable. The absolute equality OF
all the signatories, it is said, would
be a primary requisite, since Latin
American states would welcome neith-
er the United States nor the ABC
nations as guarantors.
One idea informally heard expressed
was that there could be one regional
accord in Central America, another
fer South America. But Lord Cush-
endun, who is Lord Cecil's successor
at Geneva, found little favor for his
proposal of definite regional pacts
from DR.. Ernst Won Simson, German
industrial expert He voiced the fear
taat such accords would create hostile
groupings Of states within the league;
he advocated the development OF con-
ciliation and emphasized the idea,
which is gaining ground in league
circles, that more attention should
be paid to measures to prevent war
and less to the preparation Of pen
alties against an aggressor nation
after hostilities had started.
