Housing Problem a School Problem
PRESCOTT S.H. Martin, superin
tendent of the city schools, expects an
enrollment larger than last year in both
the high and the grade schools. With
the exception of a kindergarten assist
ant for the Lincoln school, his teaching
staff is completely filled, eight men
being on the teaching force.
The high school building will accom-
miodate 160 pupils; the enrollment of
last year averaged 118. Three port
able school "houses" have been bought
and oh arrival will be erected on the
Washington school grounds to take
care of any overflow of attendance,
thus avoiding any overcrowding in the
basement rooms of that building.
Superintendent Martin emphasized
fthat his greatest problem was how to
Satisfy the teachers who were depend
ing on him to secure them apartments
and rooms for the winter. Previous
fyears he has had a long list of desir
able rooms furnished him by the own
lers; this year he has but five or six
listed, and the teachers write him to
'have" a place to stay. Journal-Miner.

"How You Goin' to Keep 'Em?"
MESA Approximately 80 teachers
will arrive in Mesa Just before Sept. 20.
Where will they live? This is no small
question that faces. Superintendent
Hendrix Just now. He will ask the real
estate men and the residents of the
town to list with him any vacant rooms
or dwellings, for at present there
seems an utter lack of places where
even the greater part of the faculty
may find a place in which to live.
But here is the hardest part of all.
Twenty of these incoming teachers are
men with their wives. This means 20
new families coming to a town where
at nresent there is hardly a vacant
house. Furthermore it means that if
the residents of the high and grade
school districts are to keep these
teachers at alL some very active work
will have to be done within the next
3 weeks. Teachers are humans Just
like other, folks and when they arrive

Experimenting In Cotton
DOUGLAS There is every indica
tion that the cotton industry will soon
become prominent in all the valleys
of the Cochise county. Experimental
crops are now growing in the San
Pedro, the Sulphjr Springs and the
San Simon valleys, the latter showing
decidedly the largest area. At San
Simon last Sunday a representative of
the Daily International -learned that
two hundred acres in cotton is now
making a remarkable showing, all now
bearing bolls and blooms and in the
most promising condition. It is be
lieved that much of this cotton will
yield more than one bale to the acre
and that some of it will easily make
more than one bale to the acre.
On Saturday last there was a meet
ing of the business men of San Simon
and those farmers who have planted
cotton this year to meet a man from
Dallas, Texas, representing a cotton
gin manuracturing company. As a
result of this meeting a decision was
reached to order a gin on the assur
ance that delivery would be made in
time to have the gin ready to operate
in time to care tar the present crop.
The gin will cost $5,000. This gin will
be the more accessible for ginning the
cotton which will be picked in the
Sulphur Spring and San Pedro valleys
as either by rail or truck the haul will
be shorter and by truck over better
roads International.
Another "Empty Gun"
TUMA Because a friend to whom a
shot gun had been lent was so careless
as to leave an unexploded shell in the
barrel when he returned the gun, Ma

dead and Modesto Quintero, two years
of age is lying at the Yuma hospital
dangerously hurt.
The accident took place at 8 o'clock
Sunday evening. The friend who had
borrowed the gun returned the gun to
the Ochoa home Sunday evening. Mr,
Gregoria Ochoa was in the yard watch
ing the playing of a large crowd of
children. The gun was given to her
ana she placed it in her lap. A few
minutes eiapsed and the gun was ex
ploded. Whether the -trigger was
pulled by Mrs. Ochoa or a girl who was
standing by her side, could not be de

Plan Celebration
DOUGLAS Plans for the Mexican
day celebration, Sept. 16, were made
yesterday at a joint meeting of com
mittees of Mexicans from both sides of
the line.
It was decided that all Mexican so
cieties on the American side would go
to Agua Prieta and join in the Sept.
16 celebration there, especially cele
brating the repatriation of Mexicans
who long have been refugees in this
country. "There are no longer any
Mexican refugees," Mexican Consul A.
Pesqueira said last night.
In spite of contemplated protests of
results of Sunday's municipal election
in Agua Prieta, Pablo C. Gonzales, who
received the highest number of votes,

16. Dispatch.
Finley Appointed
NOGALES Unofficial announce
ment is made of the appointment of
James B. Finley of Tucson, stationed
at Empalme, as general superintendent
of the Southern Pacific of Mexico, suc
ceeding in this position H. J. Temple
whose death occurred some months ago.
Mr. Finley is well known in Nogals
and Santa Cruz county. He twice has
served in the Arizona state senate and
represented this section of the state
prior to the establishing of Santa Cruz
county as a separate unit. He has long
been a resident of this part of the
country and is well acquainted among
business men of both Nogales. His ap
pointment is greeted with approval
among the business interests of the
border section.
Speculation has been rife for some
time as to who would be appointed to
succeed Mr. Temple as general superin
tendent. Mr. Finley has held the po
sition of assistant general superintend
ent of the Espee de Mexico for years.
His succession to the general superin
tendncy is regarded as a deserved pro
motion. Herald.
Sell City Bonds
TUCSON Municipal improvement
bonds of $215,000,000. voted at the bond
election several months ago. were
awarded to the Eankers Trust com-
tx- Wvilijji. j.
Compton company of St. Louis, Mo.,
by the city council at a meeting last
night. The bid was to act as fiscal
agent In the selling of the bonds at
par and accrued interestwith the com
Xianles receiving 3.83 per cent of par
value as a fee.
The bid was made in this way in
stead of by buying the bonds outright
because state law3 did not permit bond
companies to buy bonds under par.
Conditions of the money market make
bids for bonds at par inadvisable, so
by acting as the fiscal agent and re
ceiving 3.89 per cent of par as a fee
and advancing the city 96.11 on de
livery of the bonds wltliout binding the
city to stand responsible for the failure
of the bonds, the city was able to ob
tain the money to go ahead with the
improvement work. Star.

governcT adopted) ot a -one-iunser
motor. '
During all of his addresses, the gov
ernor was applauded frequently, par
ticularly during discussion of the
league and the Newberry case.
Bands, fife and drum corps and auto
mobile parades were strewn through
the governor's Michigan path. He made
three speeches and attended a Rotary
lub luncheon at Lansing in two hours
and here tonight made two addresses
and had dinner in the s.me period. The
governor's only scheduled address to
morrow was at Milwaukee, which he
was to reach after an early morning
top at Chicago.
Discusses Article X
The league issue predominated in the
governor's address here to a large street
corner gathering and, for the first time
ince his notification, he discussed
Article 10.
"It says that the boundary line is the
boundary line," said the governor, "for
weak and strong nations alike and the
powers must keep off the grass. That
is the whole meaning of that instru
ment.
"There is no offense against article
0 unless the aggressor comes from over
the boundary line and then the council
of the league shall advise on what
means shall be taken to fulfill this
pledge."
The governor said that an economic
boycott was one resort but he insisted
that congress only has the power to
send American soldiers over seas.
Has Lively Tilt
The governor's league arguments
brought the liveliest tilt he has had yet
with any member of his audience. When
the governor asked if the argument of
Senator Lodge, Republican leader, in
urging ratification of the Spanish war
treaty, that the president should not
be sent, "hat in hand" to negotiate a
new treaty, snouia not apply now, a
man in the audience ehouted "no."
When the governor asked his reason
the answer was, "Because the league
of nations was worked into the treaty
py Wilson."
"Then.Wrilson is the matter," the gov
ernor retorted, in a erood natured ex
change, while various members of the
audience cheered each narticinant.
Arter several more clashes, the gov
ernor changed his vein and said:
"You and your kinl and Lodge and
his kind have glorified in the" sickness
oi rresmeni vv nson. i ou ana your
kind should be ashamed of yourselves."

Republican A. P. Leased Wire
NEW YORK, Sept. 3 The greater
part of more than $100,000 collected in
the United States for benefit of the
Turkish Red Cross was used for spec
ulation in stock by the late Abdul Hak
Hussein Bey, acting Turkish ambas
sador at Washington prior to sever
ance of diplomatic relations between
Turkey and the United States, accord
ing to an affidavit filed here today in
surrogates court.
Following the Turkish diplomat's
death at Atlantic City in 1919, Sebas
tian Romero, Spanish consul general
acting in the stead of the Turkish am
bassador after the severance of diplo
matic relations, was appointed admin
istrator of his estate. In attempting
to collect $114,364, the amount col
lected by Abdul Hak Hussein for tho
Red Cross, he found the diplomats ac
counts in such a muddle, it i's alleged.
that in behalf of the Turkish govern-
ment he employed a law firm here to
straighten them out.
The affidavit filed by a member of
the firm says the Turkish envoy ac
tually sent only $18,722 to Constanti
nople. The remainder, it is stated, had
been placed in banks here, in Chicago,
Detroit, St. Augustine, Fla and other
cities. He also had accounts with nu
merous brokerage firms, it is under
stood. The diplomat's widow, a resi
dent of New York, has relinquished all .
claim to the estate and is assisting in
the straightening of the accounts, it is
added.

TOLEDO WThen Leo Cousino ex
plained to his wife that he would be
gone but a short time, and went to the
home of another girl, he dropped a 45
caliber revolver into his coat pocket.
And it was this revolver thought it
was never fired that solved the short
lived mystery surrounding Cousino's
suddent death and put the lie to a
suicide story.
Mrs. Myrtle Hensley is in jail charged
with first degree murder, and her
daughter the girl in the case and her
son-in-law, are held at witnesses un
der $1500 bond.
"Eternal Triangle"
Cousino fell in love with Mrs. Hilda
Shinbach. Mrs. Hensley, mother of
the girl, knew that trouble always re
sults when two men love the same girl,
especially when one of the men is mar
ried to the girl and the other man is
wedded to another woman.
So she arranged a meeting between
Cousino, Mr. and Mrs. Shi'nbach, and
herself. An argument ensued.
"Let Hilda decide for herself!
Cousino blurted.
"No," protested Shinbach, "she's my
wife!"
And according to Mrs. Hensley,
Cousino reached toward his pocket.
One shot, a burst of flame Cousino
dropped dead in his tracks.
Poli'ce came.
The suicide story was told.
The widow of the dead man refused
to believe it. and the apartment of
Mrs. Henslev was searched. Under
a bed the 45 caliber gun, belonging to
Cousino, was found. A gun of differ
ent caliber lay at the victim's side.
Trapped Confessed
Trapped by her own amateurish at
tempt to cover up the crime, Mrs.
Hensley confessed.
She had shot Cousino, she said, be
cause she thought he himself was pre
paring to bring a gun into play. She
then hid Cousi'no's gun and put her
own by his side.
