AFTER PRISONER

A stern chase is long chase as
was proven by Capt. Al Camerlin

destined for Tucson, took after one
Juan Azuna, a customs violator,
who made a break for liberty on
Tuesday as he was about to board
the stage with number Of other
prisoners.
Dashing up Court street with
Camerlin close behind the prisoner
lodged into the yard Of DR.. Smell
ker's residence where AL fired a
shot into the air in an effort to
halt him. Ignoring the warning the
fugitive jumped fence and rolled
down the hill to Dunbar street
where two more shots from AIS
revolver only served to increase his
speed to Franklin where he hid In
an alley. There AL lost sight Of his
quarry for few moments.
Catching his wind the prisoner
again dashed into sight and was
seized by Sheriff Patterson at the
corner of East and Littlepage streets
after having his progress stayed by
Thomas Turner, of the Nogales
Plumbing and Electric company,
who happened to be in the vicinity
at the time.

(By CRAIG PoTr1NGER)

Twenty years ago the publisher
of the Nogales International, then
reporter on the Arizona Gazette
at Phoenix, used to drive with horse
and buggy from Phoenix to Tempe
| in hour and Is minutes. There
were no good roads then, nor any
highway bridge at Tempe. From
Phoenix to Tempe the distance is
only 8 miles.
On Wednesday Of this week The
International man, J. G. Tovrea OF
the Arizona Packing Company, Cap
tain Leslie Arnold, famous round
the-world flyer, and Charley Cold
trap, pilot, jorrneyed from Nogales
to Phoenix, ITO miles by air, in
hour and Is minutes, In a Ryan
Monoplane of Scenic Airways, Inc
It was the first time that Mr.
Tovrea and the newspaperman ever
took a trip in an airplane. and like
most persons who have never been
on an air journey. both were a lit
tie reluctant about boarding the
plane.
All uneasiness was quickly dispel-
led after the plane had been off the
ground q few minutes. The start
from the Nogales international Air
port was made with so much ease
that we did not know we had left
the ground until the airship was ur
about fifty feet.
Having utmost confidence in Pilot
Goldtrap we felt that all would &c
we'll and that there was no danger
of hitting a mountain, going into
a tail spin, or crashing a mile 8
lminute into the ground below.
The takeoff from the local air.
port occurred at $50 A. M. The ca
bin of the plane was closed and
there was not much noise from the
motor, persons onboard being able
to converse as freely as is done IL
the average closed car. Heat from
the motor made the cabin warm ant
, comfortable, thoroughly enjoyed af

WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. 23-
The large attendance and deep in
terest In the principles of the De-
mocratic party manifested at the
numerous jackson Day rallies in
various sections of the country au-
CUR well for the success of that
party in the approaching biennial
Congressional election, in the opin-
ion of Representative Joseph W.
Byrns, Chairman of the Democratic
National Congressional Committee.
Like other party leaders, Chairman
ByrnS holds that the Democrats
have splendid opportunity to wrest
control of Congress from the oppo-
sition at the election next November.
"In a great many respects, condi-
tions at present are comparable to
those which obtained just prior to
the Congressional election Of 1922.
said Mr.. Byrns. I'm that election we
increased the Democratic member
ship in the House from 1873 to 208,
only ten less than a majority Of
the whole House. Our Senate men,
bership was increased from SO to
43. This time, we start with Dem
ocratic membership Of 165 in the
House and 80 In the Senate, so that
we do not have to equal our feat Of
1922 to win the House.
"a glance at the election returns
from the various Congressional dis
trictS discloses our opportunity.
There are SO Congressional dis
trictS now represented in the House
by Republicans which are Demo-
cratic fighting ground. orty-eight
of these districts were carried by
Democrats in 1922, and So Of them
either in 1922 or 1926. In more than
40 of these districts which the Re-
publicans won in 1922, their major
tiles were under 5000. In eight, Re-
publican candidates won by fewer
than 1000 votes and in 18, by ma
jorities below 1000. The political
tide is already running in our di-
rection. This, plus organization and
a little earnest effort on the part
of party workers, will be sufficient
not only to win back for us the "a
districts we carried in 1922, but
enough of the districts which we
have lost in the past by only few
! hundred votes, to give us a major
ity of the House. That the tide is
running in our direction has been
shown in every election held in the
last year, and will be more striking
ly shown at some additional special
Congressional elections soon to be
held. The people are dissatisfied
with the existing administration.

Stimulated by frequent rosy pic
lures OF prosperity painted by Pre-
sident Coolidge and Secretary of
the Treasury Mellon, stock prices on
the New York and other exchanges
rose to unwarranted and sometimes
unprecedented peaks. Initiation and
plunging by spectators resulted in
one of the greatest "bull'' markets
the country has ever known. It was
hailed as the Coolidge market"
Within eight months of the Hoover
administration, probably the worst
stock market panic the country has
ever known was experienced. If the
bull market was entitled to be
known as a Coolidge market, then
the bear market should be called
the Hoover market. Thousands of
traders, big and little, became bank
rupt. Other thousands had to draw
on their savings bank accounts or
borrow on their insurance policies
to protect their stock holdings, the
disastrous market break has had its
effect on general business condi-
tions, as shown in last weeks state
ment by r. G. Dun & Company, on
commercial failures. During the
week, Dun g. Company reported a
total of 732 business house failures
as compared with 635 during the
relative week of the preceding year.
The record of bank failures in
the United States during 1929 is a
disastrous one, and does not bear
out the claims of a golden era of
prosperity so lavishly made for the
Coolidge Mellon and Hoover Mellon
administrations. The report of r.
G. Dun & Company shows a total
of 437 banking suspensions during
the year, an increase Of IS over the
number suspending in 1928 and Of
"a over the number closing their
doors in 1927. Liabilities of banks
suspending in 1929 were $218,796,-
5S2 compared with $129,649, sos in
1928 and $143, 3,449,2 ,246 in 1927.
How hard hit the agricultural
section of the country has been in
indicated by the large number Of
failures in the Central West, the
number of bank suspensions in that
block of states in 1929 being 211.
Of the 1902 bank suspensions oc-
curing in the country during 1927,
1923 and 1929, more than half of
them, GOT to be exact, occurred in
the Central Western states. showing

onado trail, from Nogales through

Mexico state line, in the present
system, is therefore postponed in
definitely. So also is that section of
Highway SO between Tucson and
Phoenix, not specified as being a
U. S. Highway, held in allegiance
until some future time.
The delegates from Nogales-Gus
Michaels and Fred Hannah-with
those from Yuma, Cochise and Pima
counties, were outvoted on nearly
every point brought up which would
in any way favor the southern part
of the state. However several am
endments proposed by the southern
ers were accepted for future con-
sideration.
The completion of the Blythe
highway through the mountains
from Bouse to the California line
was strongly favored as was also
the construction of a highway be-
tween Globe and Springeryille.
It was estimated that it would
require $S0000,00 to place the high
ways of Arizona In shape to compare
favorably with the highways Of
other states of the union, and the
method by which such stupendous
sum may be raised is now in the
hands of legislative committee for
consideration.
