Hugh Patten Delivers Stirring Address At Dedication Of Dam Today.
Coolidge Dam, Ariz., March 4— (INS)—Hugh Patton, full-blooded Pima Indian, today spoke in crisp English, the welcome of the tribe to the great Coolidge dam, which will irrigate 50,000 acres of Pima farms.
Patton, speaking on the same program with Calvin Coolidge, said:
Great White Father who gave to us the Coolidge dam, blood brothers of the Pima tribe, my friends of the Apache nation, white brothers and honored guests:
Today is the brightest page in the long and varied history of the Pima people. It is the day to which our race has looked forward to for many long and weary Difficult as it may be for many of you to understand, you are witnessing today the realization of a dream of cepturies.
Water means life in Arizona-land. Without it our acres thirst anil our people hunger. Witli it we prosper. Coolidge dam brings prosperity alike to the Redman and the white settler. God once said, we are told, “Let there be light" and there was light. Today he says “Let there be water” and so we are deluged with great happiness.
Many centuries ago—just how many none perhaps will ever now,—there dwelt in the great valley below us an industrious, happy and contented people. Their annals are lost in the mists of antiquity. Of their origin w»* know nothing, of their life little. That they were industrious we know’ from the silent but expressive remains of their work—crude methods for reclaiming the desert that was their home. That they were happy, at least to a degree, we are certain from the traditions which have come down tq us.
His lands have been restored, and with them a heritage equally as valuable—the assurance of life-giving water. Redmen and White, side by side, in love and friendship, are working toward a common goal. Together they are making of the Florence-Casa Grande valley a beauty spot of the earth.
To the Great White Father who gave us this, again let me speak for the Pima people. We are grateful to you.
New York, Mar. 3—(INS)— “I hereby give fair warning that all riotous demonstrations will be suppressed at once.”
Thus Mayor James J. Walker tonight indicated his support of any action police may take to break up riots that may develop in this city In connection with the Communist demonstrations scheduled for Thursday.
“The Communists, as are other minority groups, are entitled to the protection of their rights of free speech, free assembly and petition when their meetings and demonstrations are held’ In the proper places," the mayor said. He further explained that he fully realized the importance and seriousness of the unemployment problem confronting the people of the city, "but it shall not be used as an exxcuse for lawless demonstrations by the communist element,” he also concluded.
There has been much propo-ganda of late concerning the activities of Communists in this country. Recent investigations have traced many of the movements in this country to organi zatlons in Russia.
Recent announcement stated that a nation wide demonstration was scheduled for Thursday. In every large city the police departments are preparing for the alleged outbreak that has been so skillfully worked out on such a large scale.

NEARLY BURNED IN SUNDAY FIRE
Rho Alpha Sigma Lodge Damaged As Garage Next Door Burns.
Only the speedy arrival of the fire department saved the Rho Alpha Sigma house, located at 2633 South Hoover street, from com plete destruction Sunday morning when the garages next door burned to the ground.
The damage will amount to approximately $5,000 and consisted mostly of burns to the outside of the house.

Only the prompt action of the members of the house with the garden hose and buckets of water kept the house from burning to the ground .
This marks the fifth fraternity house to be burned since the be ginning of the school year.

GRADUATION IN ADVANCE WILL STOP
Scholarship Committee to Eliminate Deferred Completion of “Rees.”
Thp practice of summer session graduation will be discontinued after September, 1930. The ultimatum was issued recently by the scholarship committee.
The policy of allowing students to go through with exercises at commencement clay if they were within eight units or eight grade points of graduation, provided that the work be finished at the following summer session, was adopted in 1923.
This year the practice will be continued. Students planning to graduate at the summer session of 1930 will have the privilege of doing so, but after September, 1930, no one will be permitted to participate in graduation exercises or to have his name appear on the commencement program unless his w'ork for his degree, certificate, or diploma is complete.
This change in procedure ls announced early enough so that next year students planning to graduate in June. 1931, may plan their courses accordingly, leaving no work will be taken at the summer session.
“This action taken by the scholarship committee is a result of many students having taken advantage of the privilege without finishing the work as expected,” said Theron Clark, registrar.
Any student will be entitled to receive a certificate of completion of the close of any session in which he completes the work for a degree, and the certificate of completion will authorize the student to use the degree from that date. The actual diploma form will not be given until the following commencement day in June.
