Loss, ESTIMATED

BISBEE, Ariz., Jan,sgl9- (P9 - The
Wilcox bank, the oldest banking in
stitution in northern Cochise county,
was burned to the ground late We'd
nesday night, causing damage esti-
mated at $4,000. All the money and
valuableS locked in the safety deposit
vaults escaped damage, and the bank
opened it's doors this morning in. tenn
porary headquarters
The fire was discovered about IL
o'clock Wednesday evening and had
gained such headway before an alarm
was sounded that the volunteer de-
partment, being unable to get it under
control, devoted it's efforts to- saving
adjoining property.
Charles H. Roberts, former state
senator from Cochise county, and
president of the bank, has been in
Los Angeles for the past week under
the care of a physician. He could not
be reached today.

in all probability a new building
would be erected Immediately and that
in the meantime the bank would
continue to do business in the tenn

WESTERN TENNIS
'ASSOCIAT 10 Ms
SEEK CONTROL

NEW YORK, Jan. 19 (P-The old
bugaboo about eastern control in vari-
GUS branches of sport has bobbed up
again. o
Earlier in the winter it figured IN
the organization OF the football
rules committee along more represen-
tative lines. Now it concerns tennis
and an attempt to reduce the dominant
positions of eastern members on the
executive body of the United States
. Lawn Tennis association.
To. those who know their tennis
troubles it isn't strange to find big
Bill" Tilden identified with the forces
seeking change in the constitution
of the u. S. L. T. A. that would cut
.jdown- eastern control. "Big Bill'' is an
easterner himself, but his bloodless tilts
with the so-called old guard OF tennis
shave become an annual affair.
/. The source of this control which
Tilden and his friends apparently de-
sire to lessen, if not actually break up,
is the presence of so many ex-presl-
dents from the east on the executive
committee of the U. S. L. T. A. There
are five now, all residents of the east.
With the retirement of Jones w. Mer-
Sereau of New York, after a three
year term as president, the number
will be increased automatically to SIX,
including four from New York. Mer-
sereau's successor, furthermore, will be
another easterner, Samuel Colon, OF
Philadelphia.
The issue will be carried before the
annual meeting of the U. S. L. 7. A.,
February IL, when a proposal will be
made to limit to two the number OF
ex-presidents any section may have on
the executive committee.
From the sentiment which has come
to the surface SO far it appears likely,
however, that the old guard will muster
sufficient strength to defeat this
recommendation
AS might be expected the eastern
lawn tennis association, most powerful
voting group in the u S. L. t. A, has
already gone on record as opposed to
any change in the present scheme OF
representation. 1t is more significant,
however, that the California Tennis as
sociation also has decided to support
the existing scheme of administration.
This decision was reached by the Call
fornians in spite of agitation by Tilden
and his friends to gain support for
change.
AS it stands now, the western as
sociation, with headquarters in Chicago
and the Philadelphia district. TildenS
own bailiwick, probably will be the
only leading group supporting re-
alignment.

FATHER OFFERS
$4,000 REWARD
FOR LOST GIRL

NORTHAMPTON. Mass, Jan. 19 lP
"A reward of $c,i0 was offered to-
day by St John Smith, New York
broker for the return alive of his
daughter, Frances st. John Smith. The
Smith college freshman disappeared
On January 49, Mr.. Smith previously
had offered $1,000 for information
leading to the discovery Of her where
abouts. ".
While state, local and college auth
critics and detectives employed by Mr..
Smith continued their search for the
girl and looked into the daily crop of
reports that someone resembling her
had been seen in various places, her
mother gave the press direct appeal
to her daughter to communicate with
her.

"please come to father and me, or

MEMBERSHIP IN
WORLD COURT IS
URGED BY WOMEN

WASHINGTON, Jan. 10 up = The
conference on the cause and cure of
war, at it's closing session here today
definitely went on record as favoring
the United States entrance into the
permanent court of international JUS
tice and as opposing increased naval
construction at g time when the state
department is proposing treaties re-
nouncing war.
The first resolution, adopted unani-

recommending the re-opening of
negotiations looking toward the ad-
herence Of the United States to the

The second reSolu ion, introduced by
Mrs. Lucia Ames Mead of Boston, op-
posed both the proposed increased ex-
penditure for naval armament and any
withdrawal of the presidents right to
alter the naval program should cir
.culnstances warrant it. During the

HOCKEY TEAMS
OLYMPIC CHOICE
PROV VOKES ROW

NEW YORK, Jan 10 (P-Express-
ing regret that no tryouts were held
to select an American Olympic hockey
team, Major General Douglas Mac
Arthur, chairman Of the American
Olympic committee, today declined to
reconsider the decision disapproving
choice of the Augsburg college team of
Minneapolis, as not sufficiently rep
reSentative
AT the same time Gen. Macarthur
disclosed that the University Club of
Boston, which he said was regarded
in the east as fully the equal of any
hockey team in America" had applied
for designation as the Olympic team.
The suggestion had been made that
it is not too late TO have Augsburg and
the. University club meet in tryout,
either in Boston or New York, to de-
termine which was best fitted to go
abroad but General Macarthur said
no tryoutS were being contemplated. .
PITTSBURGH, Jan 10 (R-William
S. Haddock, president of the United
States Amateur Hockey association,
said here today that if the Augsburg
college team of Minneapolis is not ap-
proved by the American Olympic COM
mittee as the American Olympic hockey
team .'the United States will not be
represented at the winter OlympieS. .
Haddock declared he would not ap-
prove now of any other team, but
Augsburg college. He sent a telegram
to Major General Douglas Macarthur,
chairman of the American Olympic
committee, pointing out to him that
"the sport governing body selects the
team and the Olympic committee gives
only formal approval
Advised that General Macarthur had
declined to, reconsider his decision not
to approvel the Augsburg team, Had
dock said that no other team would
have the amateur Hockey associations S
approval and declared it was ga rep
resentatiye college hockey team re-
flecting credit on school and coun-
try"
In his telegram to General Mac
Arthur, Haddock stated that the Uni
versity club Of Boston and several
other teams throughout the country
had been given an opportunity to rep
resent the country but that they could
not raise the money for expenses.
Augsburg college. he said qualities as
to calibre and money"
Haddock said the Augsburg team has
met and defeated all comers for two
years. The team, he said, "is unques-
tionably as good as in npTevious Olympics
would defeat all countries with the
possible exception of the Toronto
grads, Canada's representative, and
would have more than an outside
chance to defeat them"
According to Haddock the Augsburg
team has mades=all arrangements to
sail on January 25 for the meet at st.
Moritz, Switzerland.

NOT FIRST INSTANCE

Granting that the owners of the New
York Giants were telling the whole
truth when they said they traded
Rogers HornSby to Boston only for the
purpose of avoiding future conflict in
the management of the club, it still
looks like peculiar way of visiting
discipline on pretender to McGraw's
throne and also a costly one.
Hornsby's case is not the only one
where a great star caused family
troubles within baseball club, but it
is. .,one of mighty few that can be
called to mind where the management
had to cripple itself to restore hag-
mony
It was no secret for years that Ty
Cobb was not idolized by the players
on the Detroit club and it was the con-
viction of any number of smart base
ball men that the tchances of the
Tigers to get into the worlds series
were greatly reduced when Cobb as
Suned the management,
Cobb, however, remained as the prize
member of the Detroit club until cir
cumstances over which the owners had
not control made necessary his re-
lease
Cobb, it must be remembered, was a
Detroit institution and he was a trern-
endous drawing card. Hornsby was
not drawing card in New York.
4 #*
He not only lacked the fire and
color of Cobb but he happened to
be in a city where the worship of
baseball players is not a popular
demonstration of devotion and in
a city where all the fever is saved
for rBabe, Ruth and Lou Gehrig.

NO HERO IN GOTHAM

Attention also might be called to the
fact that New York is a great gambling
town and no matter how hard you try
to put it more delicately, Hornsby join
ed the class of what the gambling ele-.
ment calls "welchers" when he plead
ed his way out of a suit on the grounds
that his debts could not be collected
legally.

ant as it has been made. The relations
between the owners of the Giants and
the Braves have. been investigated a
number of times and no evidence of a
syndicate was found.
1t is understood that the Giants did
offer Hornsby to the Chicago and Gin
cinnati clubs but the Reds were asked
to turn over Critz and Luque and the
Cubs couldn't have met the New York
terms without transferring Charley
Root as one of the players.
With HOrnsby gone the Giants
have Andy Cohen and a 80 year
old Chinese, Lai, to use at second
base. And this is an angle.
ANDY COBEN'S PROSPECT
The hopes of the club are placed in
young Cohen, not only that he might
fill the position acceptably but that he
might develop into great star. The
Giants for years have been trying to
develop great Jewish star for gate
purposes.
Cohen had great year in the In
ternational league last year and is re-
garded highly as a prospect by base
ball men.
Since Babe Ruth crashed into the
big print the Giants always have been
a half-mile behind the Yankees in get
ting publicity and even Hornsby failed
to inject any great color or drawing
power into the club.
Even with Ruth and Gehring the
Yankees have not been asleep and they
have been scouting for Jewish boys to
entertain couple of million in New
York s- 49,

EDITORIALS D Il
THE BOULDER DAM DECEPTION

The CHICAGO TRIBUNE, consistently opposed
to the Boulder Dam scheme, July 25 has this
editorial called, "The Boulder Dam Decepton:'
"The Boulder dam project will come before the
senate as unfinished business when congress con-
venes in December. The bill not defeated by
the fbuster in the closing hours of the last session
The vote only deferred. 49,
t'There is nothing obscure about the purposes
of the Boulder dam bill Z is intended to give wa
ter to the cities of southern california particularly
to Los Angeles Further than that, it is intended to
enhance the value of desert land bought for next to
nothing and held for speculative purposes in the hope
that irrigation will make the land valuable. These
results des red for the benefit of few men in
of the country at the expense of all the
taxpayers of the United States.
THE lobbyists and propagandists have sought to
conceal these elementary facts. They have shouted
that the opponents of the project the creatures
of the power trust The power trust is not the
issue in the fight against Boulder Dam. The power
trust is diversion intended to confuse the issue
and conceal the truth. Boulder Dam should be ap-
proved or disapproved on it's own merits. The
may be said Of the power trust, if there is one.
The way to punish the power companies is not to en-
rich land spectators. -z~ ~v - r = ~ ~ rr
HThe lobbyists have confused the issue so sue
cessfully that midwestern congressman have
been frightened into supporting measure which
only prove costly to their constituents The bill for
Boulder Dam, it has been estimated may come as
high as $3O0,0O0,O00. Almost all of that money
will come from taxpayers east of the Rockies. The
outstanding result of the expenditure will be the
creation of more farm lands to grow more wheat,
corn and cotton compete with the wheat, and
