PHOENIX, Jan. 23.-The next
move in the conflict between Gov.
George w. P. Hunt and Col. Jo-
seph F. Pomeroy, state adjutant
general, over the occupancy of the
office of the adjutant general, will
be made by Colonel Pomeray. 1t
is understood he will present the
question of the delayed pay checks
for his office to r. Berry Peterson,
attorney general, for an opinion.
The last move of the governor in
the matter came Friday when he
refused to sign the pay checks for
the adjutant generals department
for the reason that the claims for
the salaries had not been presented
to him for approval as commander
in-chief of the national guard of
Arizona.
AS a result the adjutant general
and attaches of his office were not
paid when other officials and their
attaches in the capitol received
their half month salaries.
After refusing to sign the checks,
the governor wrote a letter to the
state auditor advising that official
not to draw any warrants for claims
Of the military department unless
they were approved by him as COM
mander-in-c chief of the national
guard. 1t was learned in the audi
tors office yesterday that no claims
have been presented by the adult
ant generals office since the letter
was received.

DIES SUDDENLY
AT SUPERIOR

The body of George Clark, about
80 years of age, who died a few
days ago at Superior, arrived on
the noon train Wednesday and fun
eral services were held Thursday
at the home of his brother, Frank
Clark, 807 Morley avenue, Rev. o.
A. Smith of Trinity Congregational
Church officiating. Interment in the
Clark family plot at the Odd Fell
lows cemetery.
Mr.. Clark's sudden death came as
a great shock to his relatives and
many friends in this county. Death
was due to an acute attack Of heart
trouble.
The deceased leaves a wife and
several children and a number of
brothers, including Phil, Frank and
Robert. He was son of Phil Clark,
Sr., who was one of the real old
timers OF this district, and he was
a brother of Dick Clark, who was
killed in an automobile accident
just before some automobile races

HIT-RUN DRIVER
HELD TO ANSWER

Howard F. Gordon, about 80 years
of age, owner of the Cooperative
Book Store at the University of Ari-
iona at Tucson, hit-and-run driver,
was held to answer to the superior
court following his preliminary ex-
animation Thursday before Justice
of the Peace Charles E. Hardy.
Although represented by Attorney
E. T. Cusick at the hearing, Cor
don waived examination and gave
no testimony in his own behalf.
Several witnesses, including Chief
of Police j. j. Lowe and two Pima
County deputy sheriffs, testified for
the prosecution.
The case grew out of Gordon,
while enroute in an automobile
from Nogales to Tucson, plowing in
to a group of boys playing along the
road in the north part of the city.
One boy sustained a broken leg and
another was also injured. After the
collision, Gordon is said to have
thrown his car in reverse, backed
away and then sped on toward Tue
son without giving the boys first
aid.
After arriving in Tucson that
evening Gordon, it is alleged, had
another collision and when arrest
ed for that offense the Tucson Of
ficers learned to their surprise that
he was driving the car that few
hours earlier had struck the No
gales boys.
At Gordon's hearing Thursday
the prosecution was conductes by
County Attorney E. R. Thurman,
assisted by Attorney Duane Bird.
The defendant is at liberty on $1,000
bond.
The charge that Gordon faces is
felony, punishable by either a
$500 fine, or a prison sentence of
not more than two years, or by both
a fine and a prison term.

VALENZUELA NOT
TO RETURN HOME

MESA, Jan. 23.-Mexico is allow
ing here political eXiles to return to
their homes below the Rio Grande
Gilberto Valenzuela, however, pro-
minent Mesa resident since the re-
volution Of 1929, still considers it
IAN unhealthy venture" to attempt
to return to his homeland.
Valenzuela, who has acquired
much citrus land and property in
Mesa, was co-author of the famous
''HermoSillo Plan" whereby the
northern states of Mexico were to
secede from the union. 1t was the
movement of Jose Escobar and VAL
enzuela that brought out arms be-
low Nogales year ago last March.
Former Ambassador
Prominent in Mexican political
circles for many years, Valenzuela
was ambassador to the Court of st.
James for four years and prior to
the late revolution was a candi-
date for governor of the state of
Sonora. He is highly educated, mas
ter of half dozen languages, and
rapidly adapting himself to Amer
ican business methods.
When asked if he has any desire
to return to his former activities in
Mexico, he shrugged his shoulders
and said it would be IAN unhealthy
venture to return to Mexico where
much animosity to the old political
faction still exists"
Valenzuela is tremendously inter-
ested in his native land, however.
and one is able to sense his sup
pressed desire to return among old
friends and associates.

1t Is Announced

of rails will be rushed full force by
the Mexican government.
Federal authorities always have
been hampered in their administra-
ton of Lower California because it
was necessary either to cross United
States territory or go by boat from
the West Coast. The land that the
railroad crosses is a flat expanse of
fertile soil. Construction of the road
and immediate colonization of the
territory along agricultural lines
would end forever, Mexican states
men believe, all thought of purchase
by this nation.
The railway would run from
Mexicali to Rocky Point, on the San
Jorge bay, and thence to Santa Ana.
Development of agricultural re-
sources throughout the area would
bring thousands of dollars to Tue
son. All produce would be handled
over the Southern Pacific through
this city, and supplies and equip
ment would be purchased from Old
Pueblo merchants. It would be a.
mother step in Mexico's "back-to-
Newfoundland" movement, which
has taken thousands of La
tins from the border states.

Proper Conservation of Alaskas Fisheries Major Need Concluding Delegate Dan Suherands Speech Congress-

Perhaps I can explain to those from inland sections just how these unfair and unjust fishery regulations affect the public by analogy. Under the law there are no riparian rights attached to land under tide waters. All title ceases at the waters edge, and there is no question that the laws are de- signed for public use of the ocean and the fish therein. II in any of the inland States you should secure title to an area Of land for a private game pre- serve or shooting ground, the game laws would permit you to shoot a number of game birds to the limit that any other per- son might shoot outside your privately owned land. Assum- ing that your preserve was sur- rounded by public lands, ana game officials undertook to sus- pend all shooting on the public domain in order that the birds

might enter your private pre- serve where you and your friends were permitted to kill them, I wonder what the resi- dents who could not have their own game preserve would say. And yet that illustrates exactly the manner in which the Secre- tary of Commerce cOnserves our fishery resources for the benefit of the interests that exploit them.
 Would a State governor inter- fere with carrying out the hy- pothetical game-bird regulations l have described? He would do so or be called upon to abdica5e his office. Would an Alaska Gov- ernor protest against the intol~ erable fishery regulations have tried to describe? He would not. for if he did so he would imme- diately prepare to abdicate.

 And now let me call your at- tention to the results of seven years of so-called conservation under the act of 1924 which gave the Secretary Of Commerce all the power he asked for in order to conserve the fish supply.

Yorktown Comedy

The surrender of Cornwallis at Yorktown may yet be turned into a musical comedy. It really has been already, except for the music. The idea of fixing the ceremony, in the celebration, so that Yorktown would be presented without any surrender in it. is genuine Gilbert Sullivan stuff. Gilbert would have loved to write the lyrics for it. It is all right. and very fine. to avoid hurt ing the sensibiities of other nations. espe- eially our former foes and present friends. the British But Englishmen are realistic enough to have accepted the Yorktown sur render so long ago. and written it off. as business man would say. so completely. that probably few of them recall or care what 1t was all about.
 The important thing. anyway. in human relations, is not facts in themselves. but in- depreciation of those facts, not what is done so much as the spirit of doing it. There was recently celebrated at Putin Bay, in Lake Erie the dedication of monument to Admiral Perry for his famous victory over the British in the war of 1872. Our Brit ish friends in Canada joined court ousy in that ceremony without turning hair It was enough for them that the victory had ..sulted in natural boundary line and a lasting peace between the two countries. Holding no grudges, they viewed our natural outbursts of patriotic pride with friendly eye.
 It is likely that the whole British Empire is capable of enduring dramatic represen- tation of the Yorktown surrender in sim liar spirit It may even even be that. much as they like us in some ways they are secretly glad Cornwallis surrendered, therby insuring lasting separation. The great Cornwallis doesn't have to humiiate him. self by surrendering in person. anyway. He can remain true to history and send his General O'Hara on that errand. General Washington, likewise true to history, can refrain from gloating and send General Lincoln to accept the sword in his stead as amends for Lineon's previous bumilia- ton at the hands of the British at Charles ton. And British band once more can play. as the redcoats march up and stack their arms. the appropriate tune. "The World Turned Upside Down.
