One Man Is Held In Jail Following Ice Pick Stabbing Marciano Hernandez, arrested early yesterday morning by Deputy Sheriffs Ed Orduno and Enos Long at his residence near Tenth and Madison streets, is held in the county jail as the result of an affray late Sunday night in which Francisco Valenzuela was stabbed with an ice pick.

Valenzuela'a condition, considered serious at first, had improved last night to such an extent that hospital attendants and physicians felt certain of his recovery. The disturbance in which Valenzuela was stabbed occurred on the Four Mile road, south of the Indian School road, and is believed by officers to have been the climax of an argument by several intoxicated Mexicans at a tent settlement along the Four road. The alterca- lion iook place in jront or one oi tne tents in which Valenzuela lived with a relative named Calletano Valenzuela. The latter was severely cut over the eye. Francisco Valenzuela was stabbed in the chest and bled profusely.

He was rushed to St. Joseph's hospital by the deputies, who answered a call sent in by neighbors and was placed under the care of County Physician Harry J. Felch. Hernandez, meanwhile, had fled from the scene of the right, it is asserted, but was arrested at his home in Phoenix after the wounded man had declared him to have been the assailant.

Jack Dempsey and Gene Tunney expect to find out tomorrow whether or not they will be permitted to fight for the henvyrtf-eight championship of the world at the Yankee stadium September lti.

The champion and his challenger, matched by Tex Rickard for the first title match in three years, will appear personally before the state athletic commission and its all-powerful license committee in an effort to obtain the necessary licenses for their pending battle. The commission already has approved the match, by a two to one vote, but the attitude of the license committee has been shrouded in such doubt that it has held up virtually all preparations for the bout, pending its decision. This committee acts independently of the commission. Tex Rickard believes the licenses ill be forthcoming" but he Is prepared for eventualities. After a conference with Dempsey today, the promoter declared "The fight will be held on September 16, whether or not the licenses are granted for it here.

Y'ou can bet your bottom dollar on that. I'm not prepared to say what I'll do if the licenses are refused. I'll want to know on what grounds such action is based NEW YORK, Aug.

In State (jaiTlSOn Ut Sets Fast Pace As For Team In Gulf (By The Associated Press) National League clubs were bunched closely at the top prior to yesterday's games with five and one-half games separating the leading Pirates' craft from the fifth place boat manned by John McGraw's Giants. Sailing in the breeze of a six-game winning streak at the expense of the Brooklyn Robins, the St. Louis Cardinals were able to creep up into the runner-up stronghold, forcing the Reds into third place. Pilot Rogers Hornsby's crew is now two games from the crest, while Cincinnati is half a contest behind St.

Louis. Bill Sherdel, the Hanover, Pennsylvania moundsman, had anything but a "trade wind" for the now derelict Robins and the Cards triumphed by 3 to 2 in 10 innings, which marked as well the seventh straight setback for the Flatbush team. It was the fifth straight victory for Sherdel over Brooklyn. Hugh McQuillan performed as master of ceremonies while New York handed Cincinnati a 6 to 0 shutout Sunday. McQuillan yielded diate rehabilitation.

A capable and courageous banking superintendent is the to the soundest guarantee of safety depositor Taxation "Arizona is now burdened with the highest tax rate in its history, without corresponding benefits. In spite of most positive assurances of reduction, the tax burden has mounted annually. This cannot and must not continue. There does not seem to have been even a feeble attempt to practice economy in the disposition of public funds, and wide-spread extravagance is apparent. It has been said that the governor cannot do it all.

but by making persistent and resolute resistance to extravagant appropriations, by the use of the veto power if necessary, and especially by calling the attention of the taxpayers to leaks in the state treasury, fixing the responsibility, he can directly and indirectly bring about great savings of public money. It will be my purpose to see that rigid economy is substituted for the laxity now prevailing in almost every department of the state, if I am elected governor. We certainly do not need to levy taxes, but we desperately need to conserve the tremendous sume we are already extracting from the pocketbooks of our taxpayers, and to emplay unceasing diligence toward some measure of relief." Party Success Judge Clark aroused high enthusiasm among his republican hearers when he declared that every political indication pointed to republican party successes at the polls this fall, provided the party presented a united front to the enemy. "Any attempt to foster a schism in the party will be resented by all true Republicans," he declared, "and is foredoomed to failure. For my part.

I already stand pledged to do all I can to secure the election of every nominee on the party ticket next November."

This afternoon, Dempsey put in a hour's brisk workout in a. gymnasium, poxing seven rounds with lour opponents, including two each with Sid Terris. lightweight title contender, and Ted Moore, English middleweight. Regardless of the outcome of tomorrow's proceedings, Dempsey plans to leave for his training camp at Saratoga Springs, late In the afternoon or early Wednesday morning, leaving remaining legal issues in the hands of Rickard.

Tunney is expected to arrive in New York tomorrow from his Adirondack training camp. His manager, Billy Gibson, announced today he had engaged Jimmy Delauey, St. Paul light heavyweight as a sparring partner. Delaney, a protege of Mike Gibbons, has fought Tunney twice in the mid-dlewest. Tempe Hurler League twin bill, he made four hits, three in the first and one in the second.

He made a two-bagger in each game. Garrison played with his school nine in the past two seasons and turned in some excellent contests. During the summer he worked on the mound for the Maricopa Creamery of the Commercial league. He was sent by "Doc" Spencer, umpire in the State league, to a Yankee scout. The scout thought Garrison possessed enough "stuff," and sent him to Laredo with Yankee strings on him.

The Corpus Christ! Caller contains the following comment on Garrison, after his brace of Sunday wins: "Chesty" Garrison pitched a couple of nice games and deserved to win." Again: "'Chesty' can also hit them as he won his own game with a two-bagger in the last inning." Clark Is Accorded Fine Reception By Flagstaff Audience (Continued from Pafe Four) becoming a matter of national anxiety. No other class of people receives so little for the time and effort expended, as do the farmers In our own state vocational educational work should be fostered, agriculture should be made a course of study in our common schools, a text book on farming should be employed, and if necessary, the constitution of the state should be so amended as to fully legalize co-operative action among farmers and dairymen. As no class of people is more seriously interested In education than the farmers, they are entitled to larger representation on the more important educational boards. Neither the state nor the nation can prosper if agriculture languishes. Banking "It is worthy of note that although there have been about 20 failures among state banks of Arizona during the past five years, only one national bank has closed its doors.
