REPORTED IN GOOD SHAPE

ment has been reached with the
Arizona highway commission by
which surfacing of the Casa
Grande-Gila Bend cutoff will be
accomplished proportionately with
the paving on the Blythe Phoenix
road, so that both thoroughfareS
are to be finished simultaneously.

ways been represented at highway
meetings in Arizona. Hays stated
that in that state where road reve-
nues are limited, surfacing becomes
a serious problem and much care
is necessary in planning highway
work so the funds will reach. THE
highway group in southern Arizona
has done much commendable work, =
said Hays land southern Arizona
! highways are in a fair way of be-
ing completed This is highly i'm
portant because, with the compile
ton of the Blythe-PhoeniX road,
Imperial Valley will have to fight
for its traffic over the southern
route, and, unless the southern
roads i'll Arizona are paved COM
parably with the Blythe route, I'm
perial Valley will suffer loss of
motor travel which we now enjoy"
While some of the southern Ari-
zona roads are not yet surfaced,
they have been graded and graveled
to a high standard and are well
maintained. Hays and Hansen
stated that speeds of SIS to so miles
per hour are made without diff
Guilty the entire distance between
Gila Bend and Casa Grande.
Hansen and Hays on:y the week
before were members of the party
which travelled to Lordsburg, N. M,
to investigate traffic conditions
there. Upon their return they re-
ported that the people of Lords
burg were doing everything possible
to divert travel over the Phoenix
road, away from southern Arizona
and southern California routes.
In order to assist southern route
travel the Ell Centro chamber has
participated in the maintenance OF
lighted billboards as far east as Ell
Paso, directing travel through FL
Centro and Imperial Valley, as it
is realized in Ell Centro that the
tourist traffic is becoming of in
creasing Importance and that the
tourist dollar is source of mucn
community income to Imperial VAL
ley, therefore the roads which bring
this traffic are highly important.
Hays state, 81 believe the cham
ber's activities should be directed
toward the betterment of these
roads which flow into e. Centlo
The situation is such that in order
to receive this flow of travel. it is
necessary to advertise the route as

diversion of traffic be made and

SPORTS PARADE
OFFERS VARIETY
IN TODAY'S NEWS
BY HENRY McLEMORE
United Press Staff Correspondent


NEW YORK, April 1o.-It is a
privilege for this column to in
form a world which is always
anxious TO learn of a new sport,
that there is a new sport.
Now don't get all wrought up,
for the rules of common decency
forbit me telling you what this
new sport is at this time. But you
can jot down in your memorandum
book that April % will be a gala
and red letter day in the lives Of
The American sports loving public.
For on that day this depart
ment, through a working agree
ment with a publishing house, will
break loose with full details of this
new and fascinating game. Suffice
TO say at this time it is a restful
game. And golly Moses. what this
country needs is more restful
pastimes It has long been a con-
tention of this year that altogether
too much energy, effort, perspira-
ton, preparation, strain on the bi-
cepts and coordination Of eye,
mind and muscle is required in
most. present day games.
Look at hurting. look az wrest-
ling, look at tennis, look at box
fighting, look at bowling, look at
marathon running Why, practi-
cally all of our sports will wear you
out, tire you out and beat you
down.
Why couldn't there be few
competitive sports that don't leave
a man limp; sports like reading a
newspaper in bed, sitting in chair
with eyes shut, smelling flowers
while in prone position, admiring
scenery from overstuffed chair,
plucking century plant blooms,
calling out stations on transatlantic
liners and peeling tangerines, some
of which are already pelt.
The sport which the publishing
house and are going to give off
on April 20 is along these lines. 1t
will suit the muscular and the un-
muscular, the long-winded and
the short winded, the slow and the
smart, the industrious and the lazy
Almost anyone can enjoy watching
and playing-wup! I almost gave
it away.
This sport can be done from a
pent house, a garret, wigwam, a
ship at sea (gross tonnage doesn':
natter, a balloon Gree or cap
tive), hammock, bicycle built
for two, a crib, hayloft, or from
on high. The time of day does not
matter, nor does the temperature
the humidity or the terrain.
It's a shame that I can't tel
you now what the sport is, but
them publishing people would be
sure to give me fits if I did. But
if you'll watch this column or
April 90, all will be revealed.
The best clue I can give you al
this writing is that the new anc

PRINCE SLAIN
AS CLIMAX TO
THRILLING LIFE
Woman With Razor Is Last
Chapter in Adventures of
Edgar De Bourbon.
BY RICHARD MMILLAN
United Press STAFF Correspondent

PARIS, Aug. 18.-The colorful,
adventuresome past Of Edgar De
Bourbon, reputed son of the En-
peror Franz Joseph, intrigued in
vestigators today as they questioned
his timid Spanish woman compan-
ion who said she killed him on
Wednesday with a razor.
Senorita Ondeleria Brau Solor.
bespectacled beauty specialist OF
nearly forty years, who admitted she
slashed the prince" in her hotel
apartment after he threatened her
with the razor, apparently could
furnish no definite information.
He held the reputation of an in
ternationsl adventurer. Some said
he was a son of the late Franz Jo-
seph, and that his mother was Alice
de Bourbon.
Popular When in U. S.
The prince" past so years old,
and somewhat eccentric, had posed
many years as a member of the
Austrian branch of the French royal
family.
He was once in New York, where,
as Prince Charles Albert Edgar
Serge Caesar de Bourbon, he was
widely popular at society affairs.
He obtained a high position with
the United States navy and, by re-
port, was married to Claire De CosSe
Conger of New York, daughter Of
a former minister to China. She
died ten years ago. Their son,
Rodolph De Bourbon, 30, now sells
automobiles in Cleveland, o.
Police cabled the son today, after
having found a letter on the body
of his father, addressed and sealed.
The letter had not been mailed, de-
tectives said, because the man did
not have money to buy stamps.
May Have Been in Revolt
The newspaper LIE Matin said
that police are investigating the
possibility that the prince" was in
volved in the monarchist revolt
earlier this week in Spain, and that
he likewise was sought in the coup
d'etat against the late Spanish die
tator, Primo Rivera.
The prince" according to legend,
led the Malissori uprising against
the Turks and was elected a tribal
chieftain in recognition of his
services.
He was arrested as a spy by the
British during 1916, but later was
acquitted.

LESLIE SIGNS
BILL SLASHINC
TREASURER PAY
Salary Reduction Measure
Is Held Invalid by
Attorney General.

Bill reducing compensation of the
Marion county treasurer was signed
today by Governor Harry G.. Les
lie. the general salary reduction bill
was held invalid by Attorney Gen
eral James M. Ogden, and utilities
are bombarding the Governor with
kilograms urging him to veto the
bill, which would smooth the path
to public ownership of utilities.
Just how much the Marion county
treasurer will be cut by the bill,
which becomes law, is not definite.
The measures in its original form
wa Sdesigned to effect a cut from
100000 to $4,000 a year, but
amendments adopted are said to
make an income of $4,000 annually
possible.
Among those active in urging
signing of the bill was its author,
Senator J. Clyde Hoffman (Rep.)
indianapolis; Frank Noll, former
Republican member of the house,
and William Ciauer, Democratic
candidate for treasurer.
Ruled Amendatory Bill
In holding the general salary bill
unconstitutional, Ogden ruled that
while it is purported to be an indie
pendent bill, it is in reality an
amendatory measure. 1t had been
designed to reduce the state pay roll
$4,500,000 annually.
The bill provides that salaries of
three Democrats who now hold state
offices shall not be reduced below
Sc 900 a year, but no mention is
made of the salary of the attorney
general, an Office held now by Re-
publican, and his pay would be af-
fected by the general provisions.
These provide for reductions rang
ing from 4 to Is per cent.
Among other bills signed today
were the following:
Eliminating from the anti-lynch-
ing statute a provision which made
counties liable for personal injuries
and property damage resulting from
mob disorders. Negroes opposed the
change.
Utility Bill Faces Veto
Measure reducing salaries of Van
derburgh county officials.
Stricter gasoline tax regulation
with the object of curbing gasoline
bootlegging.
Fight of municipalities for an
easier road to public ownership of
utilities and subsequent reduced
rates may be lost today through
veto of the remaining Municipal
Rights League bill.
Although Leslie refused to commit
himself regarding the bill, he de-
voted considerable attention to an
opinion from Ogden, holding one of
the principal sections invalid for
the next five years. Announcement
of Leslie's decision was expected to-
day.
Ogden held that section of the
bill providing for erection of a mu-
nicipal plant in competition with a
private utility could not be effective
until a. fve-year period elapsed.
Leslie's proposed pocket veto" for
the pari-mutuel betting bill may be
changed to a direct veto since Og-
den has held the bill unconstitu-
tional.
