THIRTY-THIRD YEAR PIUMGOTTON a CLOSES FIRST TEMA 010 SUCCESS At Annual Meeting Os Members Yesterday Of ficials Show How Or ganization Benefits In dustry Celebrating the end of the first suc cessful year, confirming the new board of directors, and hearing many talks on various phases of the co operative marketing movement, the Arizona Pimacotton Growers held their first big annual meeting of members at the high school audi torium yesterday. A good representation of the mem bership was present. Many more that were unable personally to be present manifested their interest by sending representatives. Every member of the new board was present with the exception of one man, and he is not in the state. All listened enthusias tically to a long program, many took part in the discussions, and the gen . eral feeling at the end of the meet ing seems to be that a good year was just passed and many better years coming as a direct result of the or ganization of this pioneer co-opera tive for Arizona and its successful operation. The president for the past year, Dwight B. Heard, presided at the meeting, and the record was taken by the secretary, Charles M. Morgan. In opening the meeting Mr. Heard made a brief report of the history and accomplishments of the associa tion, touched on the high spots of the movement in general, and laid special stress on the new markets for Pima cotton that have been opened anS are being developed by and through the association. Develops Markets "There is no question,’’ said Mr. Heard, in part, "but that the asso ciation has done remarkably good work in developing new markets for cur Pima cotton, particularly among the manufacturers of the finer types of sheer and high quality cotton goods. "During my recent trip East I had the pleasure es several personal in terviews with representatives of mills making fine goods, that are now and for some months have been using Pima cotton as a result of the asso ciation's work of introduction, and they one and all reported good results, and that they are entirely • pleased’ with our cotton and could continue to use it in quantities.” Mr. Heard concluded .hja remarks with a tribute to the officers, mem bers of the board and employes of the association, who have, he said, given splendid service hr working but' the many difficult problems that arise in setting up and operating a new business of the magnitude qf. the. Arizona Fimacotton Growers’ asso ciation. F. M. James, who has been manager of the association’ during’ its -first year, made a detailed report of the business condition of the association, giving the statistics or the apappiu of cotton handled, the amount sold and the prices received, the costs of operation and many other pertinent points. In the discussion that followed it was brought out that the cost of operating the association, which has naturally been somewhat higher the first year than will be necessary in future, as is the rule with every new business, was still materially lower■ than the cost to the grower of doing business in the old-fashioned way, and that many very material sayings and benefits had accrued to the mem bers and to the Pima cotton industry in general through the operation of the association even in its- first year. Review# Co-op. Movement W. S. Stevens, vice president of the association during its first year, and who is recognized as being tlie real "father” of the co-operative market ing movement in Arizona, was next introduced, to speak, on the subject of •’The National Movement for Co operative Cotton Marketing.” Mr. Stevens reviewed briefly the (Continued on Page Two) ISSK DAUGHERTY TO ! HULE DN LEGALITY OF LIQUOR SALES WASHINGTON, June 26—Secre tary Mellon has formally requested Attorney General Daugherty for a ruling as to the legality of tire sale of liquor on shipping board vessels outside the three-mile limit, it was stated today at the treasury. It has been officially held by counsel for' the prohibition enforcement unit that the treasury regulations, as now’ draw n, do not prohibit- euch -sales,, but the ruling when made will defi nitely determine the question. Request for the ruling, it was said, was made at the urging of Prohibi tion Commissioner Haynes and an early reply from Mr. Daugherty was sought to settle finally the contro versy precipitated by Adolphus Busch 111., in connection with the shipping board's practice of operating bars at sea. Accompanying the request, high officials said, was a brief prepared by Sol Mapes of the internal reve nue department reviewing previous opinions of the department of justice which have held that the prohibition laws follow the flag aboard American vessels at sea and also the recent treasury regulations which excepted shipping board vessels along with foreign craft so far as sea stores are concerned, front the operation of the recent decision bringing in transit liqtioi shipments. Only a decision of a court could overturn any position the attorney e-eiieral might take. THE ARIZONA REPUBLICAN Ponce de Leon Got Wrong Number-He Wanted Chicago Harold F.

A. Betts SANTA FE, N. M.. June 26—Sta tistical data and rate exhibits show ing a comparison between the oper ation of railroads in Arizona under the. higher base passenger fare of 4.S cents a mile and the operation of railroads in the other sections of the country where a base rate of 3.6 cents a mile is in’effect were offered in evidence here today by Amos A. Betts. Ariona corporation commis sioner.. at the hearing of the "three cent fare” case. This hearing, the last of three scheduled- by the Interstate com merce commission upon application from the corporation commissions of Arizona. Nevada and New Mexico, is expected to close tomorrow’ with the rebuttal evidence of the complaint ants. The hearing is being conduct ed by Examiner Henry C. Keene of th‘e interstate commerce commission. The other hearings of the case were held at Phoenix on June 17 and at Carson City, Ney\, on June 9. The commissioners of the three states involved are asking for a re duction of passenger fares in these states to the’ base *rate of 3.6 cents a mile which applies in all other states without exception. The rail roads at previous hearings of the matter, ail of' which were decided adversely to the three states, con tended they were justified in a high er rate Ijeoause- it- cost them more to operate their roads in these states while the number of passengers car ried were less on account of the Sparsity ’ of ‘ populOt ion.' Many Exhibits The exhibits offered by Mr. Betts consisted .of .data, on fares between certain points, cost of operation, net revenue derived and other data showing various phases of operation. The entire ' list ’of ’ exhibits offered were compiled by the Ariozna, cor poration commission from figures taken front the records and report furnished by the railroads to the in terstate cemmerce commission. One exhibit offered by Mr. Betts Showed the fare from Kansas City.

Big Majority Os Rail Section Men Vote for Strike DETROIT. June 26. —Early returns on the strike vote taken by the United Brotherhood of Maintenance of Way Employes and Railway Shop Laborers following the recent wage cut ordered by the United States railroad labor board, indicate an “overwhelming majority” in favor of a walkout, conditional however, upon similar action by other crafts affect ed by board reductions, it was an nounced here tonight at the general headquarters of the maintenance men. Tabulation of the ballots started this morning and it was said about 40,000 had been checkd. It was added the vote was considered “fairly representative.” Exact figures were withheld under instructions from E. F. Grable, grand president, now in Chicago conferring with the leaders of other unions whose membership has been affected by wage cuts and who, it was said, would consider taking some joint ac tion in protest. DEMOCRATS LAUNCH film ITTICK ON SHIP SB BILL WASHINGTON'. June 26—Three Democratic members of the house merchant marine committee —Hardy of Texas; Davis of Tennessee, and Bankhead of Alabama declared in a joint attack on the ship subsidy bill put in the Congressional Record that Chairman Lasker of the shipping board probably is the only man in the United States “who could have captivated the president, over-awed the cabinet and chloroformed the Anti-Saloon league and the prohibi tion commissioner. Characterizing the bill as "vicious,” the Democrats asserted the purpose back of its postponement was to pro duce a “favorable reaction” so as to change a sufficient number of house members to put it through. The statement set forth a dozen “facts” about the bill, representatives were asked to explain to their con stituents. Touching on tli£ sale»of liquor on American ships, members were asked to explain: “That Chairman Lasker demands both subsidies and booze, insisting that even with subsidies and aids granted by the ship subsidy bill. American ships can not successfully operate unless they are also permit ted to run saloons aboard. If Lask er's statements as to the necessity of subsidies are to be accepted, his statements as to the necessity of the sale of booze must also be accepted. Wherefore, nothing is to be gained merely by assuming the enormous additional burdens entailed by tn* pending bill. Consequently, in ascer taining ‘the reaction’ of their consti tuents. members should ascertain whether they arc not only willing to confer upon the shipping interests the enormous bounties provided by the pending bill but also authorize the sale of liquors to those who are able to sail aboard and at the same time prohibited such sales to those who remain on land. o CHILDREN PEDDLE “DOPE” EL PASO, Texas, June 26. —Maria Sanchez, 14. and her father were ar lested by narcotic agents today.

ATTEMPT TO SCALE PEEK OF EVEREST AGAIN FAILS Science And Man Baffled In Effort To Reach Top Os World’s Highest Mountain [Republican A. P. Leased Wire] LONDON, June 26.—Mount Everest has again baffled the best efforts of man. The Calcutta correspondent of the Daily Telegraph tpday confirms prev ious reports that Brig. Gen. C. G. Bruce, head of the present expedition, has been forced to the conclusion that persistence in the effort to scale the peak would result only in useless tragedy. , General Bruce was most reluctant to abandon further attempts, but the condition in which the two last climb ing parties returned, the advice of his medical officers and the certainty of worse weather conditions daily forced him to a decision, says the writer. M'aj. iH. T. Morshead was the worst sufferer from frostbite. C. L. Mal lory and another member of the party also were badly bitten and several others less severely. The correspondent quotes ‘‘one of the greatest authorities on the Hima layes as saying that Bruce's "glorious failure” has proved conclusively that the summit is almost unattainable. The authoritative view in India is that is an expedition started earlier in the season it might be barely possible to reach within a thousand*feet of the top, but that the last lap could only be covered by almost super human effort, under unprecedentedly favorable W’eather conditions and by men who faced the certainty that they would never return. Presents Many Obstacles Mount Everest, in the Himalayas, the*highest peak in the world, has al ways in the past interposed great ob stacles to the few’ efforts of intrepid adventurers even to gain a foothold upon its slopes. Only one definite and organized attempt ever has been made before to scale its sides and stand upon its peak at an altitude ot approximately five and one-half miles above the level of the sea. This was the British expedition of last year under Co!. Howard Bury, which reached an altitude of 20.000 feet, or about 9000 feet below the summit, i Bury’s expedition was compelled to turn back and the work was taken up again this year by another British expedition under Brig. Gen. Charles Granville Bruce. Announcement to this effect was made last year by Sir Francis Younghusband, president of the Royal Geographical society of London. No peak in the world has presented such difficulties to mountain climb ers as Mount Everest. These have been political as well as physical, for only in recent years has it been pos sible to approach Mount Everest from the Tibetan side. The deep seated objection of the people of Tibet to foreigners passing through their country made it impossible for any expedition to take advantage of the easiest route, wliic his through Tibet. The Bury expedition, however, dis covered what was regarded as the easiest way to the summit before it had to turn back. General Bruce, 56 years old, is a man of remarkable physical attain ments and of extensive experience in mountaineering. He was shot through both legs in Gallipoli but promptly recovered. Stories of his great physical strength, of his prac tical jokes, and of his other more serious exploits are common prop erty throughout northern India, whore he has commanded a Gurkha regiment for years. Towering above the frontiers of the hitherto forbidden land of Tibet and the remote province of Nepal. India, another land of mystery, the difficul ties in even approaching Mount Ever est have beeil sufficient to baffle explorers. ' The world's highest peak lies in Tibet, north of the British Indian bor der, yet, so far as known, no Euro (Continued on page 2) Rail Union Heads Meet to Discuss Strike Situation CHICAGO, June 26. —The general committee of 90 union leaders repre senting the six railway shop crafts met here today to discuss the strike vote being taken now against recent wage reductions ordered by the United States railroad labor board. The executive council composed of the international presidents also held a secret meeting tonight. Although no announcement was made regard ing the sessions, it was said that a "program of action” in the event of a countrywide strike was discussed. On the Southern Pacific company system, 93 per cent of the shop men : on the coast and in the gulf states were reported to have voted for a walkout. On the Union Pacific and Santa Fe, it was said. 93 per cent of the shopmen favored a strike. In the case of maintenance of way men, it was reported from Detroit that the first 40.000 ballots counted showed an "overwhelming majority for a walk out.” Supply of Bonded Grains Shows Big Decrease in Week NEW YORK, June 26.—The visible supply of American and bonded grains show the following changes: Wheat decreased 2.612.000 bushels.

GOVERNMENT EFFORT TO Eli COIL STRIKE IS BLOCKED BY LEWIS Informs President And La bor Secretary That Union Policy Has Not Been Altered WASHINGTON. .Tune 26—Admin istration efforts to bring about a set tlement of the bituminous coal strike met a preliminary check today. After conferences with President Harding and Secretary of Labor Davis, John L. Lewis, president of the United Mine Workers of America announced that the union policy still was unaltered and unyielding in its insistence that a new wage scale must be set up for the strike-ridden mining districts by national or semi national conferences with operators. The meeting between Mr. Harding. Secretary Davis and Mr. Lew is, which took place around the White House luncheon table, was the last of a series of conferences into which Sec retary of Labor Davis took Mr. Lewis after his arrival from Cincinnati Sunday. Officially no statement was forth coming, though Secretary Hoover was also called to the White House for a word with the president about the situation immediately after Mr. Lewis left. "We talked over the general prob lems of the bituminous industry and the strike.” Mr. Lewis declared on leaving the White House, "its -over development and intermfttency; and projects for its stabilization. "With relation to the present strike we considered the matter of a joint conference of operators and miners, especially the merits of proposals to hold district joint conferences be tween operators and miners for wage settlements, as compared with a joint conference in the central competitive fields, or a national conference of all fields, through representatives. No definite plans affecting the strike were decided tpon. The strike situa. tion is unchanged. , "The country will be facing a ser ious shortage of coal within a few’ weeks and if the strike continues the railroads will be unable to transport enough to take care of industries and domestic consumers.” There were no indications of what further steps might be taken by the government after the meetings had been concluded. SHITTEREO FORCES OF A. E. F. GITHER IN (11 MEETING SAN FRANCISCO, June 26—A spare and shattered battalion, broken on the wheel of war and counting in its numbers the blind, the halt and the lame, arose in inspiring saluta tion to the national banner today when the second annual convention of the Disabled American Veterans of the World War was called to or der. "A rendezvous of faith.’ was the pharse by which this initial ses sion of the convention was referred to by the speakers.

Republicans of N, D. Vote Wednesday For Senatorial Nominee BISMARCK, N. D„ June 26—Voters of North Dakota will ballot in a state-wide primary election Wednes day. The outstanding contest —for the Republican United States sena torial nomination-!-does not present a clear-cut issue as between Non- Partisan Leaguers and those opposed to the league. This unusual situation grew’ out of the decision of the state convention of the Independents or anti-leaguers not to endorse a candidate for the senatorial post, as division in the ranks was admittedly threatened by any definite selection. Porter J. McCumber. incumbent, chairman of the senate finance com mittee, who has endorsed Governor R. A. Xestos, independent, for re nomination, is opposing Lynn .1.

Leased Wire] SHANGHAI, China, June 26—Sun Yat Sen’s northern army liberally estimated at 50,000 men, still remains loyal to the de posed president of South China and is marching on Canton in three sections, according to reports re ceived here by the vernacu lar papers from various Canton sources, believed to be reliable. Sun’s forces now’ converging on Canton are declared to outnumber the troops under Chen Chiung-Ming, who deposed sun. Chinese observers predict severe warfare between the two factions with the odds in favor of the restoration of Sun Yat Sen and the defeat of Chen. Three generals are in command of 30.000 of Sun’s Kiangsi army of 50,- 000, said to be driving southward. They are Hsu Tsung-Chi, Li Lieh- Chun and Huang Ta-Wei. , Reports received from Canton as sert that General Huang, with 20,- 000 troops, is holding a line in south ern Kiangsi province below Kan chow, while Generals Li and Hsu are commanding the Spearhead of the drive against Chen Chiung-Ming. Sun’s northern forces are not ex pected to reach the neighborhood of Canton inside of two weeks. Introduces Bill To Tighten Law On Immigration WASHINGTON. June 26—Under a bill designed to tighten up the immi gration law, introduced today by Chairman Johnson of the house im migration committee, admission for permanent residence in this country would be granted only to aliens elig ible for citizenship, thus it was pointed out. shutting the gates to Japanese. Chinese, Mongolians and others not granted the right of citi zenship who desire such residences. The Johnson bill also would reduce on July 1. 1923. the quota percentage from each country from three to two per cent based on 1910 census bureau figures. In addition to the two per cent quota each country, however, would be given a flat allowance of 600. the maximum total from this 600 flow being estimated at 24.000. The percentage reduction, accord ing to Mr. Johnson’s estimates, would cut the total quota admissions from around 253.000 to 170,000. Ex emptions are not included in these estimates. Not more than 10 per cent of any country’s quota would be admitted into the United States in one month which would extend the movemcn l over a period of 10 months instead of five, as at present. No attempt will be made to have the house vote on the Johnston proposal at this ses sion. FEAR RED DEMANDS FOR CREDITS MAY WRECK CONFERENCE THE HAGUE, June 26.—Bolshevik Russia wants credits before anything else. This pronouncement was made tonight by Maxim Litvinoff, head of the Russian delegation which arrived here today, in his first statement to the press, and it has created conster nation among the representatives of the European countries here because they had virtually agreed to discuss credits last of all—after some tenta- j tive accord had been reached on the questions of private property and Russian debts. Some of the delegates believe that persistence of the bolsheviki in this attitude may imperil the conference; they point out there can be no seri ous conversations about loaning money or opening credits until some satisfaction is first obtained concern ing property and debts. Belgium and France will be the first to oppose the soviet procedure. The eve of the conference, there fore .has produced a thorny issue, which only adherence to the policy of calmly and patiently listening to the bolshevik spokesmen can save from wrecking the conference at an early date. The Russians have further an nounced as they have only three del egates they can not split into sub commissions, but must, all go togeth er to the various meetings. This up sets plans which were arranged be fore the Russians arrived, and will probably necessitate further sessions of the non-Russian delegates to read just the formation of the conference. o Prince of World*s Smallest Kingdom Victim of Disease I Republican A.

SEITE HAS eusr DAY WITH TARIFF: PROCRESSISIUIIDE Cleans Up Wood Schedule And Makes Ready To Consider Agricultural Duties Today WASHINGTON. June 26.—Confin ing itself more closely to the tariff bill today than it has on any day since that measure came before it. the senate cleaned up the wood schedule by voting, 49 to 18, to retain shingles on the free list, and then disposed of all committee amendments to the tobacco schedule. Tomorrow it will come to the agricultural schedule with its multitude of duties on farm products. The controversy over shingles was confined almost wholly to the Repub lican side. Senators Jones and Poin dexter, Republicans of Washington, and MeNary, Republican of Oregon, led a fight for the house rate of 50 cents a thousand on shingles. After voting to approve the com mittee action in striking out the house rate. Ahe senate rejected. 45 to 18, an amendment by Senator Borah. Republican of Idaho, to make the duty 25 cents a thousand. The Re publican agricultural tariff bloc split on each vote, as did the majority of the committee. Senators Watsin of Indiana and Curtis of Kansas, com mittee members, voting to make shingles dutiable. Only two controversies of moment arose over the tobacco schedule and all rates proposed were approved without roll calls. The committee majority receded from its recommen dations for duties of $2.35 a pound on unstemmed wrapper tobacco and $3 on such tobacco stemmed, accepting the house figures of $2.10 and $2.75, respectively. Senator Pomerene. Democrat, of Ohio, moved to cut the $2.10 duty to $1.85, but this amend ment was rejected. Senator Shortridge, Republican of California, opposed a committee amendment striking out the house duty of $1 a pound on Turkish to bacco. He said large quantities of this tobacco had been produced in his state and could be produced with proper tariff protection. Other committee rates approved were 35 cents a pound on unstemmed filler tobacco; 50 cents a pound on such tobacco if stemmed, and 35 cents a pound on scrap tobacco.

XXXIII, NO. 61 MADALYNNE INTRODUCES LOVE NOTES IN DEFENSE Letters From Paul Roman Are Read In Court To Offset Testimony Given By State’s Witness LOS ANGELES. June 26—Letters written by Paul Roman, Folsom prison convict, to Mrs. Madalynne Obenchain in purported response to affectionate missives she sent to him were introduced in evidence today by the defense in Mrs. Obenchain’s trial for the murder of J. Belton Kennedy. Roman previously had identified Mrs. Obenchain's letters and declared she had sought to per suade him to testify that he over heard two men plotting to blackmail or kill Kennedy, the prosecution contention being that Arthur C. Burch, co-defendant, killed Kennedy at Mrs. Obenchain's behest. Roman admitted writing all the letters shown him. In them he spoke of his correspondent as “My dearest.” "Dearest Madalynne,” "My Dream Girl,” "M.v love for you had NO be ginning and could have no end” he wrote in one. In another he said; “If you and I should ever go down to the ocean some day, rest assured you will then have reached the end of the rainbow. . . . What you need moat is attention and lots of it.” Still another read; “I would give all I ever expect to have you to hold you in my arms and kiss you and hug you and then take you away from everything.” Asked if he was sincere in these expressions and whether they ex pressed his true feeling toward the defendant at the time he wrote them, Dontan replied "Yes.” Exchanged Code Letter* "Do by all means send me more data for my narrative.” was a sen tenee in one letter. Roman testified be had an nnderstanding with Mrs. Obenchain that whenever anything was written concerning the testi mony she wanted him to give she was to refer to it as 1f it were a magazine article he was supposed to be preparing. "I haven't told you all l know.” Roman also wrote. Another passage Wits: g "Everything seems to be for you. For my sake be brave.” In the cross examination which preceded the introduction of the let ters Roman was questioned closely about the origin with him of the story of the "two men.” He was asked whether he had told of it to other persons prior to the time he said Mrs. Obenchain mentioned it. He denied this was the case. He was required to go over prac tically all his direct testimony again and in some cases added to what he had told prior to today. He said he saw Mrs. Obenchain in the Los An geles county jail last August soon after she was arrested and when he had been confined there for about a month awaiting trial for grand lar ceny, for which offense he was con victed and sent to prison. His com munications with her for some time were confined to notes they passed between them in the jail, he declared. He said the first note Mrs. Oben chain gave him “had nothing to do with the case.” Later, he declared, she passed one in which was writ ten in effect: “One of the men w’as 5 feet 9 the other" shorter, wore a slouch hat. loose clothing. This is important.” Again, he declared, she wrote tell ing him to call at the women’s apart ments in the jail and say he had im portant information and in this way he would get to see her. U. S. Naval Officer Confirms Reported Mutiny at Kiangsi SHANGHAI. June 26.—Rear Ad miral W. 11. G. Bullard, commanding the United States naval patrol on the Y'angtse river, who arrived tonight on his flagship, U. S. S. Isabel, con firmed reports of the recent uprising in Kaingsi province and the killing of many natives, but declared that no foreigners had been killed nor cap tured. Admiral Bullard said that the dis turbances resulting from the mutiny of the troops in Kiangsi province perhaps had not been wholly quelled south of Nanchang, in which region cities have been looted and many persons slaughtered, but that else where the Chinese authorities were restoring order. He believed that all danger of damage to the property of foreigners had passed before he left Kiuki in northern Kiangsi. The worst phases of the mutiny, said the admiral, continued through out two days during which looting and killing became general. He war unable *to estimate the number of Chinese slain nor the extent of the. damage but he was certain that the latter would be found to be extensive.
