NEW YORK, July 25.--Gene Tunney
should stand out as fighting champion
after he gets through with the New
Zealand challenger, Tom Heeney, Thurs
day evening. Tunney figures to score
q knockout along about the twelfth
round.
Heeney is just made to order for the
title holder. This much can be seen
after checking over the challenger's rec
ord and observing him in his workouts.
Granting that Heeney was given the
worst Of the decision In his two scraps
with Paolino Uzcudun. the fact re-
mains that the Basque weathered Toms
best punches and scored the only knock
down in IS rounds Of milling.
Heeney got draw with Jack Silarkey,
who refused 10 take the contest seri-
ously: won decision over good light
heavyweight, Jack Delaney, and had all
he could do TO get the nod over John
Risko.
Heeney Not Rated Lightly.
Add to this the fact that Heeney
was chosen nth in consensus Of
opinion of sports writer's from all over
the country with q point score Of 31S
Tunney was credited with sos points
out Of . possible total Of $40.
Nothing has occurred in the ring
history Of either man TO alter this cotin-
try-wtde opinion, unless 1t is that
Heeneyis chances have magnified be-
cause he was selected TO face the cham
pion.
Tom Heeney Is durable, as heavy
weights go these days. But Tom has yet
10 live down knockdown at the hands
Of Bud German or knockout at the
hands Of Tommy Loughran In a GYM
nasium setto. This last statement will
occasion quite a bit OF surprise. II is
true, nevertheless. Unless Heeney has
injected layer OF concrete In his broad
iawbone since these occurrences took
place, the durability Of Toms jaw is
a myth. No matter how tough they
come, IL they get 1T on the button"
they are bound to 90 out.
The past two weeks Tunney has
looked very good. Better, in fact, than
he appeared when he was getting ready
for the two Dempsey nights.
Tunney Is capable OF furnishing sur
prises He has displayed his repertoire
Of blows, fancy steps and generaiship.
He has not concentrated on any one
thing. 1t was up 10 the spectator TO
dope out for himself Just what Gene ex-
poets 10 unleash In the way of a sur
prise. And the writer thinks that this
will be a stand up, toe-to-toe smuggling

Tunney knows he has nothing to wor-
ry about In the way OF a soporific sock

Heeney and depend on his longer,

AB|Z. HISTORICAL
REVIEW WILL Be
PUBLISHED APR. |
Major Kelly, State Histor-
ian, Announces Launch
ing of Publication.

PHOENIX, Jan. 4 tF9-It was an
nounced this morning by Major Geo
H. Kelly, state historian, that Arizona
is to have in the future quarterly
publication to be known as the Ari-
zona Historical Review, the first is
sue of which will appear on April l.
next
This will be following in the foot
steps of historical departments of many
of the other states, such as Missouri
Kansas, Oklahoma and New Mexico.
It is the purpose to devote the pages
of the Arizona Historical Review to
the publication of manuscripts descrip-
tive of the prehistoric and archaeolog-
ical features of Arizona, which have
proven to be a rare field for the study
of the peoples and their customs who
inhabited portions of what is now Ari-
zona many, many years before the
coming of the Spanish conquistadors
in the first half of the fifteenth CEN
tury; also articles covering incidents
and experiences in the progress of
Arizona since the coming of United
States authority in 1846
Through correspondence, Ma jor
Kelly has been assured that he and
those who may follow him in the Of
flee of state historian, will have the
hearty cooperation and help of the
Arizona university, and the Arizona
Pioneers historical society, in Tucson,
pledged by President Byron Cummings,
of the university, and President Ed
Vail, of the pioneers association. Gov
ernor Hunt gives his hearty approval
of the idea behind the proposed His
torical Review, also Con P. Cronin,
state librarian
President A. j. Matthews, of the
Tempe State Teachers college, in a
letter to Major Kelly, says: IT believe
THAT the establishment of a quarterly
review for Arizona would be success.
Should you decide to take up the mat
ter let me assure you of my personal
interest and cooperation. so far as
can be of service. I am sure that the
state educational institutions would all
be willing to cooperate with you in
the publication of such a work"

RESIDENT ASKS
INVESTIGATION OF
DISASTER OF SUB
Congress Requested to Au-
thOrize Appointing of Com
mission to Probe.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 4 H9-In an
swer to the nations question concern
ing the loss of the S-4 with her 40
officers and men, the administration
took steps to- set in motion an inves-
tigation by a specially appointed
commission.
Acting upon suggestion of Sec
retary Wilbur, President Coolidge
asked congress for authority to ap-
point three civilian experts and two
retired naval officers to inquire into
the disaster which Chairman Hale
Of the senate naval committee de-
clared had stirred the country as
had no other since the blowing UP
of the battleship Maine.
Identical resolutions to carry out
the presidents suggestion were in
troduced at once in the house and
senate with indications that final
action would be taken within few
days.
Besides inquiring into the disaster
itself, the commission would study
and make recommendations for the
improvement of devices to insure the
future safety of the navy's submarine
forces and to prevent SO far as
possible repetition OF the S-4
tragedy.
Under the resolutions the commit
tee would be clothed with full power
to subpoena witnesses. books and
papers, take testimony under oath
and perform all the other legal
functions of a regularly constituted
committee of congress. Its report
would be made to congress through
the president, insuring complete pub
licity for it's findings and recon-
mendations.
The presidents proposal, which in
cluded an expense appropriation OF
$4,000 occasioned brief discussion in
the two houses and apparently headed
off eAtbursts which had been prom
ised by a number OF congressional
statements during the Christmas
holidays.
In introducing the resolution in the
senate, Senator Hale said he believed
that the navy had done everything
possible to rescue the men in the

Boulder CanyonDar11
Bill Is Endorsed Bv
Interior Secretary

WASHINGTON Jan. 4, R)-The
Swing johnson Boulder Canyon dam
bill was endorsed today by Secretary
Work. He said he had been advised
by Director Lord of the budget bu-
that the proposed S125,00O,OOO ex-
| penditure would be in harmony with
President Coolidge's fiscal plans un-
less tax reduction exceeded materially
what the treasury regards as a safe
cut in revenue.
Writing Chairman Smith Of the
House irrigation committee, which
has jurisdiction over the proposal,
the interior secretary said that en-
gineers had estimated that $125,00O,-
600 would cover the construction cost
and operating expenses of the project
and that "there is no reason to ques-
ton the ultimate solvency of this
undertaking if carried out along lines
proposed"
''The provisions relating to the
Colorado River compact appear well
conceived" he continued, "and 1 be-
lieve are sufficient to afford the
necessary protection to all states in
.volved. The approval of this pro-
ject should open the way for other
developments, and encourage the con-
Struction of projects above this dam
for development of irrigation, power,
or other purposes.
'"This bill has been referred to the
director of the bureau of the budget
who advises that the proposed .1egis-
lation would not be in conflict with
the financial program of the preSi-
dent unless the pending revenue bill
should result in tax reduction in a
materially greater amount than that
recommended by the secretary of the
treasury and the president"
The tax bill, now pending in the
senate was passed by the House af-
ter it had increased the proposed
tax cut from the 1925 ,OOOO 900 maxi
mum recommended by the treasury
to about $29O,O0O,OOO.
Secretary Work said that in pass
ing upon the BILL he had considered
the proposed development as includ-
ing the following features:
A dam approximately $50 feet high,
creating a reservoir holding not less
than 20,000,000 acre feet of water;
works for the generation of electric
power, and an all-American canal
starting at Laguna dam and deliver
ing water to Imperial and Coache1la
valley canals.
Secretary Work said settlement of
interstate and international problems
growing out of the use of this river,
will be promoted by the construction
of these works.
"It will give more definite basis
for negotiations of the international
water commission, appointed by the
authority of the last congress, in
formulating the basis of a treaty with
Mexico.
"The diversified benefits and new
rights to be created include the neces-
sites or cities for increased water
supply, large development of latent

HEARST'S MEN

Authenticity Of Startling
Documents Destroyed By
Witnesses.
CLEARSENATORS
Purported Signatures of
President Gales Declared
Spurious.

WASHINGTON, jan R-The
Mexican documents published in
Hearst newspapers were pronounced
spurious" today by five handwriting
experts, three of them employed by
Mr.. Hearst, in reports submitted to
the senate investigating committee
Called to the stand after subnis-
sion of the reports, Miguel Avila
producer of the documents, insisted
Ire still believed them authentic but
added the experts findings might
indicate otherwise.
Avila quickly explained he never
had examined the documents, one
of which purported to show the
creation of d $l,2l5, 900 fund for four
United States senators. He reiterated
that he saw some of them removed
from official files in Mexico City
but had no idea what was in the
papers. The documents, he said, were
turned over by him to John Page,
Hearst reporter, without any in
spection OF their contents whatever
by him and he did not know what
was in them until they were re-
printed in the Hearst newspapers.
Mr.. HearSt's experts declaring the
documents ungenuine, it was revealed
that the committee had received
similar reports from two handwriting
experts of it's own whose names were
not divulged.
In addition, at its session today,
the committee had before it James
r. Sheffield, former ambassador to
Mexico, who denied testimony that
the American embassy had purchased
Mexican documents and emphasized
that he had given orders that none
of the So-called Mexican papers
should be bought.
David E. Smiley, general manager
of the North American Newspaper
Alliance, and Robert Barry, a news
paper correspondent, told the COM
mittee how John Page had offered
to sell them purported letter from
Senator Lafollette, republican, Wis
consin, written to President Gales.
Smiley and Barry were with the
Philadelphia Public Ledger at the
time and they declined to print the
letter sent by Page from Mexico City
after an investigation.
Mr.. Smiley said that in the letter
purported to have been sent by
Lafollette to President Gales the Wis
consin senator had offered to interest
Senators Johnson OF California,
Borah of Idaho, and Swanson OF
Virginia against intervention in Mex
leo by the United States. Smiley
testified that Mr.. Lafollette branded
the letter a forgery and fake, =
showed good reason why it was, and

ter.

of New York Advice

Announcement was made yesterday

of the Douglas branch of the Arizona
Edison company, that the General
Power & Light company and it's sub
sidiary, the Arizona Edison company,
has been purchased by the Peoples

morning shortly after the business day
started and further than to state the
purchase had been made and direct
ing how TO divide reports between the
former destination at Chicago and to

only further information contained in

"the order until further notice."
The Arizona Edison company has

Peoples which now appears as the pur-
chaser already owned the plants at
Miami and Globe.
The announcement caused no sur
