REID IS ANXIOUS FOR DUTIES
Still, choate Delays His Departure
From London Eighty Days

WASHINGTON, June "A remark
able situation has developed as the re-
suit of Ambassador Joseph Cnoate's
delay in leaving London to make way
for his successor, Whitelaw Reid. In
stead of promptly presenting his let
ters of recall to the Court of ST. James
upon the expiration of his term of Of
flee as ambassador, and the formal
appointment of his successor by the
president, Ambassador Choate has re-
manned in London to be wined and
dined by his British friends.
1t is now 80 days since Whitelaw
Reid's appointment was made by the
president. Under the law the limit
prescribed for the preparation and re-
ceipt of instructions during which a
diplomatic officer is entitled to COM
pensation for his services is 80 days
plus the time needed for direct transit
between place of residence when ap-
pointed and post duty. In Mr.. Reid's
case the additional time allowed would
be about one week, making 81 or SO
days in all.
Chatting under the restrain Mr.. Reid
has been obliged to stay in New York
while Ambassador Choate remains on
the pay roll of the state department,
and continues to be the lion of the
hour in London. The result of this
unique situation will be to cost White
law Reid more than $4,000 of the linn
tied salary allowed to our representa-
tive in London.
The total amount of salary is $17,5OO
a year. Mr.. Reid has forfeited more
than a months share of it, Moreover,
the date Of his commission will be far
behind the date when he should, by
rights, have gone into Office.
Just such a case mas never come up
before the appointment officials of the
state department before
There is some speculation as to how
the matter will be settled. There
seems to be little doubt that Mr.. Reid's
pay as ambassador will not begin I'M
til he formally assumes charge of his
post in London. By the time Choate
finishes his farewell tour and is will
ing to leave the embassy in the hands
Of his successor, fully two months Of
Reds term of office will
nave been surrendered.

STOCK TRANSFERS TAXED
New Law Went Into Effect Today in
New York,

NEW YORK, June 2.-Wal1 street
was interested today in the stock
transfer tax, which went into opera
ton in accordance with the measure
passed by the last legislature. The
law operates in the same manner as
the federal tax in war time, stamps Of
various denominations being affixed to
all certificates Of stock transferred,
the denominations varying in accord
ance with the value of the certificates
The brokers have not taken kindly
to the new law, as it was believed at
first that it would drive those engaged
in stock speculation to the exchanges
of Philadelphia, Boston and other Of
the nearby cities. The initial scare
has largely died away now, and yet
plans are going forward for the open
ing of a stock exchange across the
river in Jersey City, it is believed that
the majority of those prominent in the
street have decided that the best and
only thing to do in regard to the tax
is to grin and bear it,

TIP NUISANCE A PLAGUE.
Editor Box Considers Tip a Bride for
Better Service

NEW YORK, June 1.-THE question
among visitors in the metropolis. Per-
haps the most aggressive tip-hater is
Edward Box, editor of the Ladies'
Home Journal. He has turned the
graspng hotel employee on his spit in
the Philadelphia publication from time
to time, but his latest outburst dress
es down the metropolis and it's resi-
dents in one Of it's own publications.
He says:
"The custom of tipping servants and
other employees is rapidly spreading
from New York to other parts of the
country. 1t is becoming a serious nui-
sance. 1t is simply a form of graft.
There can be no doubt of it's increasing
evils, due to the cruelty blatant posi-
ton which money holds in New York.
1T is the influence of the newly rich
in New York that is exaggerating the
tipping nuisance so that it threatens
to become a national plague. New
York is the worst of all American cit
les in that respect. 1t is the center
and exemplar of senseless and vulgar
extravaganza
1t is well enough to talk about tips
as signs of generosity, but the plain
truth is that the tin in New York is
becoming a charge upon the public
from which it cannot escape easily
and it is getting to be so elsewhere
THE tip today is a bride by which
one person hopes to get better service
than another. In many cases it is pure
blackmail."

LITTLE OF THE CEREAL WILL BE
CARRIED OVER INTO THE
NEW CROP YEAR
Every Evidence That Crop of Winter
Wheat Will Be a Full One-Much
Improvement of Late

There is the same quiet tone to the
local wheat market that has been ev-
idenced for some weeks past. While
there is no demand of consequence
from any source, very little wheat is
offering, and there will be no surplus
of consequence to be carried over into
the new crop year. In general the sit
uation has shown considerable weak
ness, losing most of the advance that
occurred during the preceding week,
and Mondays close was at the bottom,
says the Tacoma West Coast Trade.
There are varying reports affecting
the growing crops of the country, but
as the season advances it becomes ev-
ident that the harvest of winter wheat
will be a full one. In the southwest
there mas been marked Improvement
within the past ten days, and predict
ed damage proves to have been large
ly overestimated.
Warm growing weather in the Pa
cific Northwest has done much to ad
vance the position of growing grain.
The crop is making very satisfactory
progress, and promises to afford good
export surplus. With the opening of
the new season foreign conditions will
again become the leading factor In
governing the market and it is very
probable that material declines from
present rulings will be enforced. 1t is
probable also that there will not be
the usual buying pressure Immediate
ly after harvest, as little or no char
tering is being done, and there will not
be much engaged tonnage to be pro-
vided for.

 The Noble company is today the strongest stock stock organization that ever came to Phoenix. It should mean something to amusement loving people when it is realized that twenty-five old time and thoroughly ex- perienced people comprise the cOmpa- ny. It is the idea of MT. Noble to all ternate the different perts in the com ing productions so. as to make the summers work as easy as possible. So far the productions have been of the light meIodrama and comedy order, but during the rest of the engagement the very highest class attractions will be given. The following plays, for which the royalties have been arranged should prove of great interest to the patrons of the Hardwick theater: Carmen. Madam Du Barry, The Chris tian, the Count of Monte Cristo, old Heidelber and Sweet Lavender will be near future productions.
