Attorney MCGOWAN, who received
a few scattering votes for district
attorney of Graham county at the
recent election, has filed charges
against Wiley f. Jones in an action
for disbarment. Jones was elected
district attorney by an overwhelm-
ing majority, but the court held him
ineligible by reason of holding a
commission in the volunteer army.
DiSbarment proceedings have also
been instituted against MCGOWAN.
Jones will probably receive the ap-
pointment of district attorney, as
his regiment is being mustered out
of service and he will return to
Graham county about February

as to give time for adjusting affairs to
the changed conditions.
The maiu purpose of the treaty is to
do away with the extrs-territorial sys-
tenn still in operation in China and
other eastern countries, which gives
foreign powers the right to try civil
and criminal cases relating to their
own citizens, in consular courts instead
of a the native courts.
The new treaties abolishing this sys-
tenn in Japan means the recognition of
that country's status as a first class
power by America and the European
countries.
One effect of the treaty will be the
opening up of the interior OF Japan to
the capital and enterprise of the for
eign merchants, Another immediate
result will be the liberation of num-
ber of American prisoners held by the
Japanese authorities in accordance
with sentences of the consular courts.

CHICAGO, ILL.,, July 1.-The efforts
of the Western Federation of Miners
to have a national labor convention
held in Chicago today to protest against
the course of General Merriam, United

futile because of the disinclination o
the American Federation of Labor, and
other big labor bodies, to cooperate in
the movement.
The local labor leaders claimed to
day to know little concerning the pro-
posed convention, except that 1t has
failed to msterialize. At the same
time the local unions express their
sympathy with the western miners in
the course they have taken.

DECIDED TO DEFER
The Extension of the Sierra Madre
Road Until a More Favorable
Time

The HERALD has it on good author
ity that the Sierra Madre railroad will
not be extended up the PieGras Verdes
canon at present.
It was proposed to make narrow
gauge extension into the timber and
mining country west of Casas Grandes,
and the preliminary surveys and esti-
mates had been completed, but the
stockholders of the present road have,
it seems, decided to wait until the
road as it exists pays a fair return on
the investment before they begin
work on the extension.
1t is not thought that the project has
been given up, but merely deferred in
realization.
