nlinent engineer who, with City At
torney James v. Robins, represent
ed the city of Nogales at the hear
ing, told Corporation Commission
ers Amos A. Belts and Charles
Howe that the gas rate as proposed
by the power company is satisfac-
tory but that he did not like the
service charge clause in the pro
posed electric rates.
Want A Reduction
"The people here want reduction
in rates. After discussing the COM
pany's proposed rate revision Tues
day evening we felt it would be bet
ter to leave the entire matter up to
the Corporation Commission. think
the city would object to these rates
being put into effect at this time,
largely because of the service
charge, Kenny said City Attorney
Robins, City Alderman o. A. Smith
and Engineer Kenny had spent q
good part of Tuesday night check
ing over the power companys offer.
1t was brought out at the hear
ing that the Corporation Commis-
sion can decide within thirty days
whether it ought to let the ccm-
pany's proposed rates become effec-
tive.
j. R. Malctt of Globe, an attorney
for the power company, asked that
the revised rate schedule, as sub
mitted by the company, be put in
to effect and said that they could
rot become effective for thirty days
even if those rates were acceptable
to all parties concerned, and that if
they are put into effect they can
not be billed until October 80.
Two reporters for the Corpora
ton Commission who were here dur
ing the hearing said they would be
able to complete the transcript of
record in the case by August 5. 1t
will be a volunainous document and
after it is completed, the attorneys
for the two sides are to submit
briefs.
The transcript of record in the
case will have to be read over by
Corporation Commissioner Loren F.
Vaughn who was the only member
of the commission not present at
the rate hearing. That will take
some time. Fully eighty percent of
the evidence to appear in the trans
cript was evidence put into the re-
cord by Attorney Ma1ott for the
power company and the other twen-
ty percent by City Attorney Robins.

Possible Fate Of Ruth

PHOENIX, Ariz., Dec. %. U.P)-
The possibility that Winnie Ruth
Judd, asserted trunk murderess"
may use a claim of insanity as a
means of avoiding a threat Of
death by hanging was one of the
problems presented today to spe-
cial session of the Arizona legisla-
ture.
The presentation was indirect.
Her name wasn't mentioned. But,

asked to provide the means of car

adjudged insane when tried On

Roi and Hedvig Samuelson whose
bodies were shipped from Phoenix
to Los Angeles as luggage.
That Arizona is without facilities
to care for such cases was pointed
out by Gov. George w. P. Hunt
His message to a joint meeting of
both houses of the legislature, de-
livered at noon, contained the fol-
lowing significant paragraph:

patients has never been provided

purpose should be made"
In brief, Arizona became a state
10 years ago and lack of a place in
which to confine persons of un-
sound mind and "homicidal tend
encies" never attracted official at

possible fate of Mrs. Judd brought
it before the public mind.

Bombay had taken on the aspect

Gandhi came ashore from the liner
Pilsna greeted by cheering of thou

GOVERNMENT Aid
TO UNEMPLOYED
UP FOR ACTION
Bitter Fight Expected
In Senate On Proposed
Legislation.
By LYLE c. WILSON
United Press Staff Correspondent


WASHINGTON, Dec. %. U.P}--
Political battle lines are forming in
the senate today TO determine
whether the federal government
shall contribute funds 10 the winter
relief of the unemployed.
A senate subcommittee, which
has been against President Hoover
on this issue, has begun considera-
ton of two bills which would pro-
vide 1915, 100000 and $250,000 900,
respectively. Mr.. Hoover has de-
nounced such relief projects be-
fore and is prepared to do so again.
He says the dole" has no place
in American life.
Adherents of federal relief reply
that when other sources of aid are
insufficient it is the duty of the
government to provide the jobless
with the minimum of food, shelter,
clothing and medical supplies that
will enable them to live in reason
able decency and cleanliness.
The congressional struggle over
this issue promises to be as sharp
as any during this long session.
Although composition OF the sem
ate committee suggests it will
most certainly vote to report favor
ably some form of federal relief
the advantage in the congress as a
whole appears to lie with Mr.
Hoover and his power Of veto.
The bills were introduced by
Senators LaFollette, Republican,
Wisconsin, and CoStigan, Demo-
crat, Colorado. Costigan's, for
S375, 100000, would make $l25 ,000,-
100 available for relief in the fiscal
year ending June 80, 1882, and
allot the remainder in the ensuing
y months. Both bills would set up
federal boards of unemployment
relief. These boards would allocate
relief funds to the states on the
condition that each state establish
relief boards meeting specified
standards.
These state boards. in turn,
would distribute funds through
county, municipal and other re.
gional relief agencies. To this ex-
tent the responsibility for determ-
lining who required help and now
much would rest finally with COM
munity authorities.

WASHINGTON, Dec. %. iU.P}-
An event unique in history will
take place in the quiet Swiss city
of Geneva early in February when
the entire world gathers for the
general disarmament conference.
There. for the first time since
tribe fought tribe with crude stone
weapons, all the peoples of the
world, through their representa-
tives, will peaceably discuss the
free surrender Of at least part OF
their arms.
IN one sense, the conference does
not lack precedent. The naval
powers agreed at London and
Washington TO limit their ships and
guns. But these were specialized
agreements between small groups.
At Geneva. it is expected. every
nation will have a seat at the
council table. And if the confer
ence meets full success, fighting
implements of all kinds, for use
on land, sea and in the air, will
be limited.
Twelve years ago civilization
stood on the pFecipice of ruin. A
long war had wrecked Europe and
weakened America and the Orient.

DISARMAMENT PARLEY
TO Be HELD IN GENEVA

Suddenly freed from the chains
of war, statesmen shuddered at
past horrors and looked about for
ways to avoid future wars. Many
of them believed competitive arma-
ments were the greatest threat to
peace. They disarmed Germany,
the defeated nation, by force, but
wrote into the League of Nations
covenant these clauses:
The members of the league
realize that the maintenance of
peace requires the reduction of ma
tional armaments to the lowest
point consistent with national
safety and the enforcement by
common action of international
obligations.
The council. taking account of
the geographical situation and cir
cumstances Of each state, shall
formulate plans for such reduction.
for consideration and action of the
several governments"
United States Takes Part
Acting under this section, the
league set up the preparatory dis
armament commission. Although
not league member the United
States took part in the commits
sion's work. After six years of
labor, struggling and pickering,
the commission last year completed
a draft treaty of disarmament.
This document, although de-
signed as a treaty in which only
the number of soldiers, ships, guns,
ETC., affected would have to be
filled in by the disarmament con-
ference, is regarded now as hardly
more than basis of discussion.
The Geneva conference will meet,
it is feared, in an atmosphere of
gloom intensified by the hates and
fears inherent Europe's postwar
rivalrieS.
France, when asked to cut down
its army, sees a nationalistic Italy
on one border, a Germany now
weak but powerful in men and nat
ural resources on the other. Soviet
Russia sees what it believes to be
threat of destruction in the cap
italistic nations about it. The
postwar states carved out of the
territory OF old empires-Jugo
Slavia, Czecho-Slovakia, Poland
and others-fears to lose through
weakness what they have gained.
Some hope of success is seen in
the economic pressure a world de-
preston is exerting on national
treasures in behalf OF saving.
Some statesmen believe the con-
ference will be justified if arma-
mentS can be stabilized at their
present level. Even that, they con-
tend, would promote confidence and
make possible later reductions.
