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

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.

Made At Santa Fe, N. M.,
Hearing By A. 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.
Mo., to Missoula, Mont., a distance
of 1.389 miles, was 551.0 S or 3.6
cents a mile, -while the rate from
Kansas City to Phoenix, a distance
of 1.383 miles, was $57.58 or 4.2 cents
a mile through mileage, this rate be

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

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.

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

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.”

GOVERNMENT EFFORT

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.

Sun’s forces now’ converging on

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.

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.

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.
