Hunt Assures
Protection
For Yaquii

PHOENIX, Sept. 25-AsSnrance
that nothing will be done to molest
Yaqui Indians residing in this
state, either by Arizona or federal
authorities, was repeated by Gov.
George w. P. Hunt yesterday in a
letter addressed by Cayetano Lopez,
chief of the Yaqui village near Tue
son.
'My office has had considerable
correspondence with the depart
ments of state and labor of the
federal government with respect to
the Yaqui Indians who came into
Arizona from Mexico" Governor
Hunt wrote.
st am assured by the interested
departments of the government that
Their policy will be not to force any
of these Yaqui people to return to
Mexico against their will.
st believe you can rest assured
that your people can continue to re-
side undisturbed in Arizona SO long
as they respect and obey the laws
of the land and do not permit them
selves to become public charges"
The executives letter answered an
appeal written to him Saturday by
Lopez, who wrote in part:
my Yaqui people are afraid TO
90 back to Mexico, particularly the
ones who came in May, 1927. The
Yaoui are afraid to go back to Mex
leo because when they were living
in the Yaqui river country, the Mex
ican government started to make
trouble for them***
"We thank the American govern
ment for keeping us under the Am
erican flag, and will be glad to help
the government in anything we can
do

MARSHALL JURY ONLY OUT
FEW MINUTES In RETURNING
VERDICT OF mot GUILTY."
Jury Delberates 35 Minutes; Takes Only Three
Ballots Before Deciding Defendant
Innocent Of Murder Charge

It did not take the jury in the
trial of Mrs. Louise q. Marshall,
charged with the murder of her
husband, long to decide her guilt
or innocence.
After celebrating only 35 minutes
the jury at $50 o'clock wednesday
evening returned a verdict of mot
guilty.
The case was given to the jury at
Nogales international., 1931-09-26

4.42 o'clock. TIL rteen minutes later
the jurors began balloting and at
$50 had taken their third and final
ballot. st 5::32 word came to Bailiff
William S. Larcom that they had
reached a verdict. The court, the
defendant and the attorneys in the
trial, were notified and at 5:55 the
verdict was read.
A crowded courtroom was on hand
when the aged defendant learned
she was a free woman and great
applause greeted the reading of the
verdict. Mrs. Marshall was quickly
surrounded and showered with con-
gratulations. AS the jurors passed
out of the courtroom, after the long
ten days trial, she personally thank
ed each one, and she was in tears
overjoyed by the good news.
BY reaching a verdict in such fast
time Mrs. Marshall, as well as the
attorneys in the case, had every
reason to believe the jury had ruled
in behalf of the Tucson philan-
thropist. AS she entered the court
room, accompanied by one of her
attorneys, James P. Boyle, there
was a smile on her face. "Is that
Mrs. Marshall?" a small four year
old boy asked his mother as Mrs.
Marshall entered the courtroom.
Mrs. Marshall heard him and quick
ly grabbed his hand to greet him.
A. F. Duval was foreman of the
jury and handed the verdict to
Bailiff Larcom who took it to Ro-
bert E. Lee, clerk of the superior
court, who read it.
The last day of the trial was de-
voted to the arguments of the op-
posing counsel. William G.. Hall
county attorney of Pima county,
opened for the state and was follow
ed by Attorneys James P. Boyle,
Dunane Bird and George Darnell
for the defense. Arthur T. La Prade,
assistant encouragement of Ari-
zona, closed the arguments for the
prosecution. All five attorneys made
very able addresses.

chair had then been born. The steam
locomotive was still two years from In
vention. and the world was travelling on
land by horse power, though 1t was
doing a bit OF navigation by steam.
There was no telegraph. Nobody
dreamed Of the telephone and as for
such very modern nnarvels as the phono-
graph, the radio and the flying ma
chine" they were beyond the realm Of
the imagination. Ballooning had been
carried merely to the point Of some
daring ventures In uncontrolled flights
for short distances. The harvesting ma
chine was sixteen years ahead and the
sewing machine seventeen.
The youth of this centenarian was
spent In simple circumstances. New
York, to which he was taken as an
infant of one year, was what would
now be called small town. Where now
stands the Grand Central Station was
dairy farm, the owner of which, de-
spairing Of the city ever growing out
that far, sold for q then large sum but
now mere pittance in proportion, and
went West to Buffalo for wider OPP
portunity. The site of the Empire State
Building was likewise cow pasture.
The real town was away down around
the Battery and about mile north
ward from that point.
Tammany, Of which this hale birth
day celebrant is now grand sachem, was
then forty years old, counting from Its
organization as the Columbian Order, q
secret society. 1t had become the Tam
many Society in 1905, and by the time
the Voorhis family was gladdened by
the arrival Of little John 1t had grown
strong as q political institution. Nu-
-merous leaders and sachems were to
rise to eminence and power and aff1u-
ent influence before that infant in time
became the supreme chieftain OF the
order. Many scandals were to be re-
vealed before his time Of Office holding.
He did not, indeed, become identified
with city administration until he was
forty-four years old, when he was made
an excise commissioner. Probably no.
body conceived the possibility that this

men Of the metropolis would survive for
fifty-eight years.
II ever there was mine Of recollec-

But he has discreetly guarded his tongue

he has marked another year and when

New York's Centenarian.

On Monday John r. VoorhiS, New
York's eldest inhabitant, celebrated his
one hundred and second birthd2y ami
versary. He did this by going to his
oflce--he Is president of the board Of
elections Of Notwithstanding over
a meeting Of the board, cutting a BIRTH
day cake bearing the appropriate num-
Der Of candles, listening to the con-
gratuiations Of friends and then adj

Some one with q mathematical ten
dency figured out that Mr.. voorhis has
spent no less than three months, one

now have thousands Of hours to their
credit, experience that can be gained
in no other way than flying under all

as the engines in motor cars. Plane

ment and the art Of streamlining to cut
down air resistance and to increase

The American public has become

ing to the gentleman in the panama

Templeton Jones and the gentleman
met In front Of q radio store, where
they both were gawking at the sets In
the window.
Then, as Is SO often the case with
addicts, they fell into conversation.
Next to base ball game, nothing
makes the average man SO loquacious

"Yes," continued the gentleman In
the panama hat. "but nobody cares.

the wiseacre air Of connoisSeur In tone,
which he Is.
Instead Of people being educated in
tone quality, they have become in
different, it seems to me-" went on
the stranger. They are willing to
accept anything"
Just so long as it makes plenty of
noise" replied Jones, with his near
est approach to sneer.
After the two Of them had gone
their respective ways Templeton Jones
fell to wondering II their collective
judgment on the great radio public
had been correct.
It would be a dificult matter, he
thought, to prove that the taste of
the people at large had got any bet
ter as the result Of the universal spread
Of radio.
Perhaps, he reasoned to himself,
thousands Of men and women who
had never heard q symphony had lis
tened to one over radio. and to that
extent, at least. had been elevated by
the broadcastfng Of good music.
And it surely was the mass Of the
people who had so persistently patron
lied the bigger and better sets. year by
year. patiently junking good outfits,
mostly in an effort to get better tone.
Or was it more distance. after all?
Jones didn't know, and he wondered
II any ono did. It was easy enough to
talk about millions of people listening
in. as the expression persists. but who
could prove how many really listened to
any one feature? The switch Is still q
very much used knob.
Tone quality-so Jones reasoned with
himself-is q veritable Wtll-o the wisp,
which many run after, but which few
catch.
Thousands Of owners, economically
getting along with sets four, hve, maybe
six or seven years old, are convinced
that they have reached the ultimate Of
tone perfection.
1t is scarcely possible to get into O

radio without meeting the loud -mouthed
