Ashurst backs US purchase of Lower California peninsula
In the Senate debate over acquiring Lower California and parts of Sonora, Senator Ashurst argues the Mexican government cannot control the region and that annexation would enable U S military access to deter foreign powers, while self determination questions arise from others. In Phoenix, officials begin new terms with minor reshuffles as state offices stage ceremonies. A separate Los Angeles incident features Josephine Moore and Grover Heaton jailed after a whisky case linked to an alleged elopement. Heaton pleads guilty and receives a suspended sentence.
