NEW YORK, January 15.-The Gov

Leisure had promised to produce the

Attorney General, had waited all day,
he received a telephone message that
the attorney would be unable to keep
the appointment. It was then agreed
that Leisure would produce the books

Understanding Was Reached.
There had been an understanding
between the Government and the COM

After the grand jury had adjourned,
Dodd held a conference with Leisure

wanted by the Department of Com
merce. He asked that an official OF
the company bring these books to the

HUNTERS KILL
SEVENTY-F|VE LIONS

Ihoenix, AriZ., April IS. (UP)-
Arizona Biological survey hunters
killed rs lions in forests of the
state during the first quarter of the
year. establishing new record for
that period.
Based on the fact that lion will
kill, on an average, one deer or
calf each week, the rs lions would
have caused approximately loss
of $4,000 to the state this year,
had the cats escaped the eyes of
the hunters.
One deer, biological survey Off
cials here declare is waited a. az
proximately SIS and calves about
S35 each, with some averaging $50.
Mountain liens are one of Arizo-
mas greatest menaces to live
stock" Charles E. Gillian, assist
ant leader of predatory animal con-
troll, said, Every effort co externi-
mate the lion in the state, and pre-
vent huge losses each year, is be-
ing done by the biological survey
department"
Although a lion weighs on an
average about $50 pounds, they can
kill any livestock on Arizona
ranges, Gillham said.
During March 20 lions were kill
ed by hunters, setting a new rec
ord. Roy Nagillier led other hunt
ers with kill Oh four. He took his
lions at the Williams estate game
preserve.
Last year, during the first three
months, 54 lions were taken. Tie
larger number killed this year was
attributed to ex 3eIlent weather con-
ditions Snow and rain fell in most
lion infested districts, making hunt
ing and tracking by dogs easier.
Included in the kill of predatory
animals in March were 108 coyotes,
40 bobcats and one wolf. The wolf
was shot by w. A Knibbe of No
gales.

CAMPAIGN AGAINST
CAPITAL PUNISHMENT

Phoenix, Ariz., April Is. (UP)-
A campaign to abolish capital pun

next fall, according to r. B. Sims,
chairman of the state industrial
commission. Sims is a member Of
the national advisory committee of
the league to abolish capital pun
ishment.
More interest in the abolition
the death penalty has been created
since the execution of Eva Dugan,
the only woman to be legally
hanged in the state, Sims said.
1.-THE question of capital punish
ment in Arizona has been close
one for a good many years." ]
said in a letter recently to Miss
Vivian Pierce, New York City, ex-
utive secretary of the league.
Sims, who was for several years
superintendent of the state peni-
tentiary, said the most effective
method of procedure in the mat
ter would be by vote of the peo-
pie either by referendum through
the legislature or by initiative.
Seventeen persons have been
hanged in the state since Arizona
was taken into the Union in 1912.
