with a revolver-the gift Of a
friend-Mrs. Rachel Buracker,
widow of Edward Buracker, muir

Grand Opera

PHILADELPHIA, March 20.
With Leopold Stokowski direct
ing the Philadelphia Symphony
Orchestra, "Wozzeck," a mod
ern" grand opera with cubist
scenery, was presented at the
Metropolitan Opera House here
last night.
The opera, written in 1925, is
based on an ancient German
drama of the love affair of a
soldier, the murder of his sweet
heart and finally his accidental
drowning.
One popularity of the form
of the opera is the use of the
orchestra in place of the voice
to carry out impressions on the

WALKER PROBE
STILL AWAITS
ROOSEVELT
Governor to Study Charges
at Home Over Weekend;
Quick Decision Is Unlikely

ALBANY, N. Y, March. 20
UN.S0-Governor Roosevelt may
reach a decision within a few
days on the charges filed with
him demanding the removal of
Mayor Walker of New York, it
was persistently reported today
at the capitol.
Unless there is a last-minute
switch in his plans, the governor
will motor to his country home at
Hyde Park either late today or
tomorrow morning. He expects to
remain at Hyde Park until Sun
day afternoon, returning directly
to the executive mansion.
To Take Charges Along
The governor will take with
him to Hyde Park a copy of the
charges filed against Walker by
the John Haynes Holmes and
Rabbi Stephen S. Wise, chairman
and vice chairman of the city
affairs committee.
Samuel I. Rosenman, counsel
to Governor Roosevelt, is ex-
pected to accompany the execu-
tive to Hyde Park and in the
quiet SecluSion of the governors
home further study will be made
of the charges and possibly a
decision will be reached.
G. o. p. Sure of Probe
Governor Roosevelt has made
it plain that, in considering the
charges against Mayor Walker,
he is acting in the capacity Of
judge Just as much as if he were
sitting on the bench of the
supreme court or the court of ap.
peals.
Regardless of what action
Governor Roosevelt may take in
the Walker charges, Republican
leaders at the capitol are still
confident that before the present
session of the legislature adjournS
early next month, a resolution
providing for a legislative probe
Of New York city will be adOpsed
by the senate.
Republican leaders denied re-
ports they would abandon their
efforts for a legislative probe in
the event Governor Roosevelt
should order an investigation
under the public officers act Of
charges filed with him against
Mayor Walker. Said one leader:
Regardless of what action
Governor Roosevelt takes on the
Walker charges, we hope to
adopt a resolution providing for
a legislative investigation Of
New York."
Opponents Stand Firm
Despite the optimism of Repub-
lican legislative chiefs that ulti-
mately they will be able to obtain
adoption of the probe resolution
in the Senate, there have been no
signs as yet that Senators Walter
B. Westall and Seabury C. Mas
tick, Westchester Republicans, are
weakening in their opposition.
WeStall and MaStick defeated
the resolution in the upper house
a few weeks ago and since then
have repeatedly reiterated their
determination not to support the
probe measure when it is called up
for the second time.

GAS TAX GETS
FIVE MILLION
New Gas Tax Will
Produce Vast
Sum
HIGHWAYS GAIN
BY GEORGE D. CRIssEY

BY GEORGE D. CRISSEY
Omitted Press Staff Correspondent
PHOENIX, Ariz., May 1. U.P0-
The new five-cent gasoline sales
tax, enacted by the 10th legislature
as an emergency measure, probably
will produce in excess of $5,000,000
this year for the state and the var
ious counties, judging from estim-
ates based ON funds collected dur
ing February and March.
Approximately $3,5O0,Oo0 of the
sum will go into the general state
highway funds for the building of
roads while the remaining $780,
600 will be appropriated among the
II counties IN proportion to gasoline
sales.
1t was early in February that the
new five-cent tax law, replacing
the fcur-cent tax, became effective
and to date $515 ,495 has been col
lected, tidy showing for the less
than two months period.
Receipts during the latter part OF
February and March are not at
true measuring rule OF an average
trend, however. At that time winter
tourists are slipping back home
from the southern part of the state
and the flow of vacationists to the
north is not underway yet.
Later in the year the volume OF
travel over northern transcontin-
entail highway VIII increase greatly,
and the tourists who buy gasoline
along the route will leave much
money in the state for roads.
Likewise, it is explained, the re-
ceipts Will show an increase next
fall and winter when tourists drive
across the southern part of the
state, many spending the winter
here
The total for March, admittedly
a light month, was $311,985.56. OF
this -tenths, or $2OO,565.94,
was credited to the state. The re-
,nainder ,$85 ,956.83 went to the
counties.
Maricopa county, due to its heavy
population, receives the lions share
Of the gasoline tax money given
the counties-the March total Tor
that county being $39, ,427.16.
Other counties received in March
the following sums.
Apache, $73288; Cochise, $5,928-
As; Coconino, s2,596.63; Gila, So
923.77; Graham, $1,983.56; Green

Every year on May S, Cinco de
Mayo is commemorated ON a big
scale throughout the Republic of
Mexico. The 5th of May is one Of
Mexico's two greatest holidays, the
other being the 10th of September.
Why does Mexico celebrate Cinco
de Mayo? This question was asked
several persons by representative
of the Nogales International during
the working up of a special Cinco
de Mayo section appearing in to-
days international.
A majority of the persons inter
viewed said that Cinco de Mayo had
it's beginning with battle at Quay
mas and that the Mexican Army de-
feated the French at Guaymas on
May S, 1862. It is true there was a
battle one time between the MeXi-
cans and French at Guaynas but
it was not on May S, 1862. General
Roussett, French adventurer, met
defeat at Guaymas while trying to
detach Sonora from Mexico and
make it a Republic but that Incl
dent had nothing to DO with CincO
de Mayo.

Changes Taking

There are no yesterdays for to-

This is a significant utterance by

The present time has no prece-
dent in all of the history of the

have been made in science and in

Most of us accept each new ach-

without ever questioning how it

sible for it.
1t is impossible to really grasp
or appreciate the magnitude of
these rapid changes for the rea-

them. 1t is much like the growth of
a city to those who live within it's
limits. A building rises here, there

Following the most bitterly fought
campaign in the history Of this
city, Nogales voters will go to the
polls Tuesday and choose a mayor
for the next two years.
Much interest is being taken in
the outcome of the biennial elect
ion not only in this city but thru
out the state as well. owing to the
prominence of the two mayoralty
candidates-Harry j. Karns, in
cumbent, and Andrew Bettwy-both
having formerly been members OF
the Arizona legislature.
During the campaign, charges and
counter charges have been made by
both sides and this has been par
ticularly 50 the past week when on
the eve of the election, workers on
both sides became as active as ants
building a hill.
Who will win? That is the big
question of the hour. If you talk
to Karns adherent he will reply
'Karns":: If you talk to Bettwy
supporter he will tell you "Bettwy"
In other words, your guess is as
good as ours. Competition for the
mayoralty office-a job that pays
not one cent in salary--is keen.
1894 Can Vote
Registration for the battle of the
ballots is the heaviest in the his
tory of Nogales, 1894 persons being
eligible to vote. This is 1872 more
than the previous highest registra-
