Auto Supplants Burro
See Many In New
The very latest wrinkle in pros
pecting is the automobile.
Prospecting with the pack burro is
very passe, according to Charles R.
Howe, chairman of the state tax
commission, who yesterday returned
from the Union Pass district, where
every little canyon has its little Ford.
No more are the hills studded with
the picturesque old miner standing
beside his burro laden down with the
weight of the carnp outfit, says Mr.
Howe. Instead are spick and span
tin lizzies with up to date equipment.
The rush to Union Pass is the re
sult of the development of the Kath-
ryn mine, whicn is being operated
by the Sutro interests of Ban Tan
cisco. The district has the promise
of becoming one of the leading gold
sections of the ocuntry, says Mr.
Howe.
"Mohave county Is in" better shape
than it has been for years. The clos
ing down of the mines in the copper
districts does not affect this district,
since it is a gold district. It is even
in better shape than-during the war,
it
CONTRACT FOR PIPE
FOR WATER SYSTEM
City commissioners yesterday gave
the United States Cast Iron Pipe and
Foundry company of Birmingham,
Ala., a conditional contract for the
furnishing of 131,000 feet of water
pipe for city water extensions ar
ranged under the last city bond elec
tion. . The awarding of the contract
was made by the commissioners at
their regular meeting in the city hall
yesterday.
Final signing of the contract will
depend upon whether the railroads
will grant a municipal freight rate of
$15 per ton for the pipe and fittings
from the Birmingham district to
Phoenix. The bid tentatively accepted
offered the pipe and fittings at the
base price of $55 per ton, Birmingham
district. If satisfactory freight rates
cannot be obtained the bid will not
be accepted.
. The water line extension not only
will supply new districts, but also
give Phoenix an auxiliary system for
the business section of the city. In
case of leakage or other emergency
the damaged line can be cut off
without disturbing the water supply
in the downtown district.
PUGH JURY FAILS
Failing to reach a verdict at 11
o'clock last night, the Jury in the trial
of Spencer B. Pugh, local attorney.
in disbarment proceedings, was taken
to a hotel for the night. It will re
sume its deliberations, this morning.
The case went to the jury yesterday
afternoon shortly before 4 o'clock.
The trial began in Judge Stanford's
court on Tuesday.
Setting a precedent In the court
here. Judge Stanford yesterday wa
sworn in as a witness while he was
still occupying the bench in the trial.
According to local attorneys, this is,
the first time in their experience,
that a judge has been sworn in as a
witness in the case in which he was
presiding. Judge Stanford testified
as a defense witness and told of the
visit of Mrs. Carroll to him and of
turning the matter over to Attorney
James E. Nelson.
The defense put Mrs. E. H. Mc
carty and her husband on the stand
yesterday. They testified that Mrs.
Carroll and E. B. Fox had lived to
gether as man and wife. This was
the reason. Attorney Pugh testified
that he did not file the divorce suit
of Mrs. Carroll. He said he advised
Mrs. Carroll to leave Fox, and he then
would file the suit.
Attorney Pugh is charged with un
professional, unethical and fraudu
lent practices.

For violation of the terms of their
admission to the United States, 70
Mexicans were transported from
Glendale to the refuge camp at Tem-
pe yesterday by the cotton growers'
association and will shortly be sent
to Mexico.
The action was taken by the asso
ciation as the result of an investiga
tion made by P. R. Milnes, immigra
tion commissioner. Restricted to
agricultural employment under the
terms of their contract with the gov
eminent, tne contract laborers were
found to be otherwise employed in
Glendale or to be entirely out of em
ployment and a burden to the city.
The investigation by Mr. Milnes
was made at the request of the city
council of Glendale. Complaints
were made" that destitute contract
laborers had to be cared for by resi
dents of Glendale in the way of food
and shelter.
Sterling Robertson, with the federal
bureau of immigration, field repre
sentatives of the cotton association,
Constable Rudd of Glendale, and
Spanish interpreters, accompanied
the state commissioner on his tour of
inspection of the camps and investi
gation in Glendale.
. Mr. Milnes said yesterday that he
found no sign of poverty in the
camps. Phonographs, sewing ma
chines, bicycles and acknowledgment
of three meals a day led him to be
lieve that the Mexicans were not
starving by any means.
. In town he found justification for
complaint that there were numerous
instances where families had taken
up other than agricultural employ
ment in violation of their admission
to this country. In one case a father
and son had left the farm to herd
sheep in Tucson. They, will be
brought back immediately and with
the remainder of the family " sent
across the border.
"When the farmer turns in the
laborer be is immediately sent to the
camp by the association, but it is
difficult for the association to keep
track of every laborer who leaves the
farm," said Mr. Milnes. "The asso
ciation in my opinion is handling the
situation well. It is living up to its
obligation with the government."
Mr. Milnes said there were few if
any instances of alien laborers who
wished to return to Mexico. Within
a few weeks he believes, there will
be sufficient farm work to take care
of the surplus alien labor at that time.

Former Senator Tells Ad
Club Advertising Is Uni
versal Need Now Will
Do Much To Restore
Normal Conditions
The gospel of Americanism is in
greater need of advertising than
ever before in the nation's history,
exSenator Charles A. Towne of New
York told members of the Phoenix Ad
club at their first luncheon held yes
terday noon at the Y. M. C. A. His
talk carried a real message to the
club members and was sent home
with much force by the former sena
tor. During the course of his talk, Mr.
Towne paid a tribute to-Arizona and
its citizens, in which he said the nat
ural attractions and scenic beauty of
this great state are unmatched in any
state of the union.
"When I first came to Arizona, I
was an enforced guest," he faid. "My
health failed me and I was obliged to
seek a new climate. But I have re
gained my lost vigor and I am now a
voluntary temporary resident of your
wonderful state. I am happy in the
fate"" that resigned me to this land of
unexcelled climate and best fellow
ship," Mr. Towne declared amid ap
plause. "We're all advertisers," l.e told the
club members, getting down to his
subject matter. "When we buy a nevy
suit of clothes, we advertise it as we
walk along the streets. We are ex
hibiting something of real merit.
At this particular time we must
all do our full phare of advertising.
lou have so much in Arizona to. ad
vertlse and it commandj your very
Dest talents m the expos'tion and ex
planation of the natural attractions
or this stae.
All Must Advertise
"Everybody should engage in ad
vertising," he continued. "Advertis
ing is necessary. Never before in the
time of this republic has it been so
necessary for every individual to do
nls full share oT. advertising.
"I say this because of the dis
jointed association of society every
where, the broken trade relations, the
exchange rates and worthless money
we must advertise to re-establish
conditions On a pre-war basis.
"Men hesitate as to what duty re
quires, but I say to you that right
now there is abroad in this land a
very definite propaganda to offset the
teachings of the war.
"We have got to take the big per
spective of things. Every citizen has
got to advertise. You owe it as your
duty to mankind.
"Prussianism and Americanism
cannot co-exist in this world. Prus
sianism is the most sinister, tireless,
expert, pitiless propaganda in the
world. It represents might as right.
It is a fascinating subject to study,
but I have not the time today to tven
outline its aspects.
"When 2.OUO.00O American soldiers
went overseas in the late worll war,
their purpose was a covenant for the
self-government of mankind.
'It is these things that we must
exemplify, that we must advertise,"
he concluded.
Ex-Senator Towne was Introduced,
by Judge William Barnum, another
guest of the club. J. Arthur Tobias,
president, presided as toastmaster.
Fred McNabb. president of the
Merchants and Manufacturers associ
ation, urged members of the club to
preach a spirit of optimism. "It will
inspire confidence and give the busi
ness man a smile." he said.
Points Out On Consolation
"Another thing that should be a
source of great satisfaction in the
valley, notwithstanding the period o
depression, is that our cotton crop is
not perishable," he said. "In other
sections of the country, grains and
fruits are spoiling in large quantities,
resulting in heavy loss to the farm
ers. But our cotton will be just as
good a year from today as it is now.
There is no chance of our losing it,
and cotton is bound .to come back
sooner or later."
Mr. McNabb also dwelt upon "what
he termed '"bunk" advertising. Such
advertising, he declared, should come
under the head of donations, for it
constitutes just that, he paid. He
then pledged the M. & M. association
to support the Ad club whenever the
organization needed any assistance.
Appointment of tho following
standing comirtittees was announced:
Entertainment, Fred Myers, R. H.
Taylor and George M. Neir

cussions for the improvement of the
profession will be held.
TEWIPE BANDIT NOT
TO HANG APRIL 29
Tomas Roman, sentenced .to hang
on April 29 for the murder of 10-year-old
August Hintze in Tempe on
the night of January 11. during the
holdup of the Baber-Jones store, will
not die on that date, according to a
letter received yesterday by Thai
heimor & Hart, attorneys appointed
by the court to defend Roman, from I
C. G. Powell, superintendent of the,
state penitentiary at Florence. Mr.j
rowell advised the attorneys that he
will stay execution pending the out
come of the appeal filed in the su
preme court.
Roman was found guilty of murder
in the first degree by a jury in the
superior court on February 19 and
was sentenced by Judge Stanford on
February 23 to be hanged April 29.
The notice of appeal was filed several
weeks ago and perfected recently.

Martinez, is alleged to have held up
the Baber-Jones store in Tempe on
the night of January 11 and killed

Reunion Is Over, But Memory Of
It Will Abide As Long As Life
As a fact, the Pioneers' reunion fori
which The Republican (had planned
for months, has come and gone, but
as a memory of the finest gathering
of its kind ever held in the West and
as a milestone in the history of the
state, it will abide as long as those
who attended it shall live. This Is
the measure of success vouched for
the reunion by the pioneers yester
day.
In interview and in casual conver
sation the opinion was the same.
None of the old timers who had
waited for the celebration were dis
appointed. None had expected so
good a time or one so crowded with
interest and entertainment. And the
feeling of goodfellowship and com
radeship which made itself manifest
at the registration of the old timers
on Tuesday morning continued with
out a break until the last farewell
was spoken last evening and the last
hand was clasped.
Perhaps chief in the recollection of
the pioneers will be the barbecue and
picnic at Riverside park. No arti
ficial stimulus was needed there. The
pioneers themselves were stimulus
enough. Gathered from every town
and hamlet and almost every hill and
valley of the state, they entered im
mediately and thoroughly in the
spirit of the gathering, and before
those who were in charge of the day
had realized it the pioneers had taken
over the direction of affairs and had
made it such a success as no outside
influence could have done. It was a
big day the biggest day that the
pioneers have ever known and for
many a long year it will be remem
bered and cherished.
"This trip has cost me more money
than I thought it would, but I do not
begrudge a single cent of it!" This
sentiment., voiced in the offices of
The Republican yesterday, represent
ed the thoughts of the 1200 men and

women who had taken part in the re
union. Accompanying this word of
appreciation .was always a declara
tion of praise and gratitude for The
Republican, which had conceived the
reunion so well, as the pioneers said.
and which had carried it out so suc
cessfully.
The interest of the opening day of
the reunion waa continued during
yesterday. The trip taken in the
morning through the Salt River val
ley was as full of interest and pleas
ure for the pioneers as had been the
barbecue. To all the world the Salt
River valley is of peculiar signifi
cance; because it is the most wonder
ful example of the taming of the
waste places that the earth affords,
but to those who had crossed its bar
ren desert in the days before the rail
roads and who had known it in all its
emptiness, the realization that a mir
acle had been worked came with add
ed force as they saw it all in its
modern glory. ,
The meeting at the Blue Bird hall
in the afternoon waa another success.
It gave the pioneers the opportijnity
to gather together again and tJ re
vive memories which had beentlper
haps dormant for years. It brought
back the past easily and naturally to
them, and it gave them the oppor
tunity to live over again the stirring
days when they were young and
when they were busy in fashioning
the foundations of the great state
they know today.
The reunion waa a success. It was
a success because of that pioneers
themselves and its most enduring
commendation is in the fact that
those who- were most vitally interest
ed the old timers have voted it to
have been worth while. And The Re
publican joins heartily with all Phoe
nix in saying "Goodbye and good
luck." and In wishing that the re
union was still to continue.
DENIES HE STOLE
Declaring that he did not steal the
automobile of J. M. Dunn, rancher.
who was murdered on the night of
March 10, General R. Smith yesterday
took the stand in his own defense at
his preliminary hearing on a charge
of burning an automobile with1 intent
to defraud an insurance company, and
denied that he had set fire to the
car and attempted to burn it as
charged. The hearing began in Jus
tice Henry J. Sullivan's court yester
day morning. It was continued until
the afternoon after Smith's counsel
made a motion to dismiss on the
grounds that Smith had not been
brought up for a preliminary hearing
within six days after his arraign
ment. The motion was denied by
Justice Sullivan at the resumption
of the hearing In the afternoon.
According to witnesses foe- the
state, Dunn and his children came
into town from -their home near the
Grand -canal on Orange road about
January 19. 1921. and. after parking
their car. went to a show. When
they came out of the show, witnesses
said, the car was missing, and the
next day it was located near Mesa.
Someone had attempted- to burn the
car, they said, and had removed .one
tire from a front wheel. A repre
sentative or me Arizona Fire Insur
ance company said that Dunn had
insured the car in February, 1920, for
i0, payable to the Western States
Securities company and himself.
Shortly after the car was burned, he
said, the company adjusted the claim
tor oou.
Smith was first arrested on
charge of murder in connection with
the death of Dunn, but the case was
dismissed, and he was rearrested on
the present charge. Just before his
preliminary hearing was .to come up
he broke out with smallpox and waa
removed to the pesthouse.
The preliminary hearing was con
tinued until 1 o'clock this afternoon.

FIRES START UNDER
While fighting an unusual fire un
der the Collings 'Vehicle company
building on East Adams street yes
terday morning the fire department
received another call to the McKean's
Cleaning Works, where a second fire
was discovered under conditions
closely resembling the Collings blaze.
Intense heat on the floor and one j
wall of the Collings place led to -an i
investigation. Construction timbers !
used as concrete forms were found to i
be smouldering underneath the build-
tng. Firemen estimated that fire had
been slowly eating at the timbers for i
at least two days. Heat from the !
boiler room of the Hotel Adams was
assigned as the cause.
Although the fire was compara
tively small It was in so obscure a
place that four hours were required
to completely extinguish it. The fire
at the McKean Cleaning Works was
similar to the one at Collings'. Con
struction timbers underneath the
flooring were found slowly smoul
dering. No damage was reported in either
case.
