COURT ACTION

KINGMAN, Ariz., Aug. 5. W.R)-
Mohave county authorities moved
swiftly today to stamp out what
they said was widespread practice
Of polygamy in the Arizona strip
probably the most isolated section
in the United States.
A deputy sheriff, armed with
warrants for four men and four
women, accused, under Arizona law,
with "open and notorious cohabita-
tion,' was in the district summon
ing the defendants to a preliminary
hearing in justice court at Short
Greek next Friday. The court room
is less than 100 yards from the
Utah border.
First information that polygamy
was being practiced in the section
was brought here by federal relief
investigators. County Attorney Ell
mo Bollinger said. They reported,
he stated. that as many as five
women gave the name of the same
man as her husband. In one in
stance. he said he was told, three
women in the district gave birth
to children the same week, and
each woman named the same man
as her child's father.
The district attorney said he was
told several men in the community
had from two to six wives" with
whom they lived openly, apparently
confident that the isolated nature
of the country would protect them
from legal consequences.
The men and women accused of
polygamy, Bollinger said, are mem
Der of a sect which calls itself the
Brethren of the United Order, and
had been communicated from the
Latter Day Saints CMormon) church.
Mormon church officials, he de-
clared. have been cooperating with
him in an attempt to arrest and
convict the accused.

than Is per cent in the value of
property subpect to local taxes.
This is the first time since 1910
that the bulk of the utility prop

corresponding reductions in taxes

Utility assessments will be re-
viewed during the next two weeks

ings, which started today.
To Be Delivered Soon
Final assessment rolls will be
completed and delivered to county

Return of utility property to the
counties caused the state to lose in

TAX-THE-R|CH
BILL. |S GIVEN
HOUSE OKAY

WASHINGTON, Aug. 5. UP -
The house, by a one-sided vote, to-
day approved the $25O,OOO,OOO tax
the-rich bill designed to carry out
President Roosevelt's gram
against unjust concentration Of
wealth and economic power"
The roll call vote sends the mea-
sure to the senate, and forces the
onus of ADJOURNMENT delay on that
body. The vote was 282 to 96.
Leaders consider the tax bill the
main barrier in the way Of con-
gress adjournment by August 25.
Formal house passage was de-
layed until today under an agree
ment with Republicans. The house
Friday and Saturday knocked
down scores of amendments to the
measure offered as share-the-
wealth schemes. Only one change
was adopted-that backed by ways
and means committee Democrats
permitting corporations five per
cent exemptions on taxable in
comes for gifts to charity. The
amendment-a rebuff to the Presi-
dent-will reduce federal revenue
from the measure S2O,0O0,0OO from
the originally planned S270,000,O00.
The bill provides for inheritance
and new gift taxes, hikes person.
al income taxes of persons max
ing over $4,000 a year, imposes
new gift taxes, high excess pro-
fits taxes and the new idea Of a
graduated corporation tax, with a
penalty on "bigness."
AS sent on to the senate, the bill
is generally along the lines the
President proposed in his message
of June 10.
Before final passage the house
defeated a Republican motion de-
signed to kill the bill by sending it
back to the ways and means COM
mittee.

effort to avoid irritations to rela-

Saito said that his intention was
to ask the department to take
whatever action it could, although
apparently realizing that the de-
partment has no power to regulate
the press.
The ambassador arranged to see
Cordell Hull, secretary Of state, at
11:15 a. m. to present the views of
his government to the state depart

The cartoon satirically depicting
the japanese emperor receiving the

with considerable feeling due to the
special regard in which the ruler is
held.

newspaper. Gropper said he would

The trip on which Pope is em-
barking from New York on August
Is, will take him into Europe just
at the moment which the League

There was a possibility that Pope

Cancellation commission. If devel
opments warrant, he may go on to
Adds Ababa after his talk with

Charles A. Bratton.
The supreme court turned the
petition over to the appellate court
and briefs were ordered to be sub
mitted by attorneys of both con-
testing groups. Several weeks ago
the appellate court rendered its
decision to the effect that the
property qualification act which
governed district elections was un-
constitutional and, therefore. the
election held under that act was
void.
Appeal Filed
Immediately following this deci-
sion. Harry w. Horton. chief dis
trict counsel who represented the
majority of the board in the action
and also Hatch and Bratton, filed
an appeal with the supreme court.
Again briefs were ordered filed
upon which the court rendered its
decision of this afternoon.
Following the appellate courts
decision as to the unconstitution-
ality of the district property quail
fication act, the state legislature,
then nearing the close of its last
session. repealed the act.
The actions before the appellate
and supreme courts were not the
only court proceedings taken in this
election controversy. McIver and
Barry secured an injunction against
Hatch and Bratton in local supe-
rior court to prevent them taking
possession of these offices. This
was afterwards dissolved by Judge
of San Diego.
Further actions were brought in
court here, heard by Judge B. F.
of San Bernardino coun-
ty. to secure possession of the rec
ords of these offices by Hatch and
Bratton. In one of these cases
Judge Warmer rendered a decision
which left the matter right where
it was and in the other a decision
is still pending.

Italo-E ethiopian crisis, it was re-

Pope has scheduled important
interviews with Premier Mussolini

While official confirmation is
lacking, it was understood Pope

Popes rise to eminence in the

GENEVA. Aug. 5.-Small nations,
angry over the compromise effected
in the Ethiopian dispute,
intend to force a supreme test OF

SO outraged were feelings Of
representatives Of the nations which
really make up the league member
ship that it was indicated today
they were ready 10 envisage the
death Of the league rather than see
it continue to live on its present
basis.
They called the league councils
compromise two part negotiatory
plan for Italian Ethiopian peace an
evasion. a weak surrender. They
denounced it as being not a league
plan but a plan dictated by three
great powers = Gre / Britain,
France and Italy.
Their representatives. seeing in
the plan nothing but an excuse to
avoid a decision, made 1t apparent
that they are ready when the coun-
Gil meets September 4, and when
the assembly-at which all 81 mem
Der nations will be represented
meets September 9 TO force the issue
whether the league is TO be
League of Nations or a rubber
stamp body TO approve decision OF
the big European powers.
The powers plan which the coun-
Gil approved Saturday provided:
l. Direct negotiation Of response
bility for frontier clashes by Italy
and Ethiopia. with a neutral chair
man who may be Nitchlas Polltis,
Greek minister to France.
2. Direct negotiation on the whole
Italian Ethiopian dispute by Brit
ain. France and Italy. This meet
ing may start at Nice or another
French or Italian Riviera town this
week.
3. 4 meeting Of the council Sept
ember 4 if no solution has been
found which would prevent war.

who gathered here for the council
meeting even though they are not
on the council itself call the com
promise a shameful thing.
