Copper Queen in Bisbee in 1886.
Powers had by this time become
identified with Arizona mining and
prospecting, and in 1887, 1888 and
1889 he opened and started develop
ment on a number of claims in the
southern portion of the state. It
was in 1889 that he leased the
Mountain Sheep claim from a miner
by the name of Billy Moran, and
shortly afterwards, adjoining it, dis
covered and filed on what later be-
came the noted Worlds Fair mine,
one of the richest silver properties
in the southern portion of the state.
He was married in Nogales in
1892, and, with his wife, had lived
either here or at the Worlds Fair
property in the Patagonia district
ever since
Widely known among the miners
of the southern portion of the state
because of business interests, Pow
ers was also noted for his open
handed charity to the men of his
own profession who we're down on
their luck, providing food and lodg-
ing and money for many Of them
when he was unable to provide them
with employment.

Report Urges
Juarez Races

JUAREZ, Mex, June 26 (U.P-)-
The revival Of horse racing in
Juarez is urged in the report Of an
industrial survey of Ell Paso and
Juarez and their trade territories,
made by experts of the Massachu-
setts Institute of Technology.
The survey was conducted at q
cost Of $4,000, of which the Ell Paso
County Commissioners paid $1,0O0
and the remainder was subscribed
by business men of Ell Paso.
Racing would bring tourists, the
report says, and "every effort should
be made to reinstate horse racing
in JuareZ."
Juarez is losing important oppor-
tunities to develop tourist trade by
allowing it's streets and buildings to
be built in a ramshackle and un-
attractive manner, the report states.
1t recommends cooperative effort to
dress up'' building fronts and re-
pair streets, especially around the
JuareZ plaza.
Completion of the Juarez-Chl-
huahua City highway also is urged
1T appears there is an oppor-
tunity to develop resort center
consisting of first class hotel, WITH
gardens where facilities are pro-
vided for dining and dancing IN the
open air" the report continues.

The decision putting the protocol
back In the pigeonhole was reached
by common consent of the committee

Chairman Borah said postponement
was with the understanding that as
soon as pressing domestic matters are
disposed of, the committee will take it
up and report it out"
He is a foe of adherence to the
court, but is willing for a showdown at
this session.
Court friends willingly agreed to the
postponement on the ground it would
be bad tactics to press the question
when the domestic economic situation
is commanding attention.
There has been no test OF strength

planned.
A policy Of deporting all Canadians

tically the number of offenses, he said,
but women are proving more ready to

Mr.. Hartman, formerly a valuation
attorney in the Interstate Commerce
Commission, was appointed to the local
utilities commission In May, 1929, to fill

nation. The letter to the President

on his desk this morning.
Although the White House said the
President has no one in mind at this
time to appoint in Mr.. Hartman's
place, it is understood that there will

names of persons qualified to fill Mr..
Hartman's place on the commission
have been laid before the President.
