 party of young people took their din- ners and spent a very enjoyable Sun
 day out at the White Tank mountains l They were also refreshed by ice cream and lemonade furnished by a couple of
 young gentlemen of the picnickers. >Mr. George Brown will drive to
 Phoenix about the 18th and bring home his wife and children and he may al-

 taken charge of the valley canals. Barkley thinks that he will be better
 off renting out his ranch here and farming his Glendale ranch.

A PHOfNICIAN DIMES
 WITH SECRETARY TAFT
The Return Of Mir. E. F. Dunlevy After
 an Extended Trip Through the East.

E. r. Dunlevy returned home yester- day morning after a visit in the east of about two months. He spent a cou- pie of weeks in Denver and vicinity en route east. then spent a month in New York and vicinity where he was the guest of his sister. and on the way home he stopped again for a couple of weeks in Denver.
 On the way back he travelled with Judge Kent and the latter's mother, from Colorado as far as Ash Fork. The judge has been spending sometime re- gently in Gloucester. Mass. and travel ing west joined his mother at Colorado Springs where shhe spent the summer. They went on through to Los Angeles and will return here in about two weeks. Judge Kent. said Mir. Dunlevy. is enjoying unusually good health and has improved wonderfully during his vacation.
 In New York MT. Dunlevy says he spent the greatest part of his time au- tomobling. The machines are very popular and 1t seems as though almost everybody has them. Those who don't have one all wish they did have. Mir. Dunlevy was offered one as q gift if he would pay the freight on it but he is very loyal to Phoenix and said he would rather buy his machine at home and pay for it. It was noticed that about the first thing he did yesterday was to climb into Richardson's new Ford runabout and take a spin. It would appear that he is fatally smitten with the chug wagon and the chances are he won't be happy until he gets one.
 In Chicago MT. Dunlevy met Dele gate Mark Smith and spent day with him taking in the sights. He also col lided with Secretary Taft's political visit in Colorado and had the honor to put his feet under the same ban quet table.
 The weather Mir. Dunlevy said was hot wherever he went and he imagines it was about as cool in Phoenix as any where during the past summer.

Judge GrOsscup's Plans for 'RehabiI-

at Naught.

Chicago, Sept Z.-Reyersal to-day in the
United States Court Of Appeals of all Of
Federal Judge Grosscup's plans for re-
organizing the Chicago Union Traction
Company has rendered Of doubtful value
SO, ,0OQOO1 in bonds and stocks held by
Eastern capitalists.
The Court Of Appeals sat in extraordi-
nary session late this afternoon, and un-
did the work Of Judge Grosscup- and Prof
Cray. as arbitrators. and of Judge Gross
cup. as Federal judge, in control of the
recelvership for the past five years. Incl
dentally the expenditure Of $4,000 in fees
and for ether expenses is rendered Of no
avail.
The case had its incipiency in the al
legged watering of traction stocks, the
property's sale before the death of
Charles 7. Yerkes and a state of financial
chaos growing out Of the company's in
ability to pay interest and dividends.
The 100000 franchise, recently granted
as a gift to the company, may be lost. as
the final date Of the court acceptance is
next Saturday.
It is not believed the new company. to
which the grant was made, can reorganize
in time TO legally accept it.
Judge Grosscup has been sharply Criti-
cized by attorneys in the litigation. The
appeal was taken by his critics, and the
Appellate Courts action sustaining their
objections was unanimous. The whole
matter IS left in a muddle. which mdy
cause a slump in Traction and allied
stocks in Wall and La Sale streets when
