DEATH SUMMONS A
WELL KNOWN CITIZEN
John Maddox Passed Away After a
Long lllness.-Fun.ral Sunday.


John Maddox, well known and
highly respected citizen of Phoenix,
died yesterday afternoon at 1870 O'Clock
at his home, 606 South Fifth avenue.
Death was the result of paralysis-of
which he has suffered for year or so,
though the disease came upon him
gradually and not in the form of a
sudden stroke as more frequently Oc-
ours. For the last year he has been
practically beyond ability to work at
ALL first one limb and then another
passing from his control until finally
for some months past he has been
practically bed ridden. He retained
his faculties to the end, though fog
some time he has been unable TO speak
clearly.
The funeral will be held Sunday a1
ternoon at 4:3O o'clock in the paI1ors
of Fastening and Whitney.
John Maddox was born in LAGRANGE.
Georgia, October 3, 1916. He served
three years in the Confederate army as
a member of the Seventh Louisiana
cavalry. After the war he moved to
Fort Worth, Texas, and later to Santa
Barbara, Cal, where he lived for two
years. He moved to Phoenix with his
family from California about 1889 and
for many years was engaged in team
ing contracting for hauling and team
ing in Phoenix and vicinity. His later
years were devoted exclusively TO min
ing, and at the time of his death he
owned properties in the south end of
the White Tank mountains that have
been only partially developed and which
are believed to be of great mineral
value.
Deceased is survived by his wife, a
son and three daughters. The son is
Clifford Maddox. who is in the employ
of the railroad at Tempe, and who was
at his fathers bedside in his last hours.
This daughters are Mrs. William Evans.
Mrs. Claude Cisney and Mrs O. E
Bellas, all residents of this city.

MYSTERY ENVELOPES
MARKET OPERATIONS
What the Hartman Plan Is, Is Not
Quite Clear.

New York, June 25.-The action of
the stock market was not Illuminating
as showing the state of financial
sentiment. A reactionary movement
in Union Pacific rather discredited
the rumors used to push that pre-
ferred stock suddenly to 10. A pub
LEGATION of the plans of the Southern
Pacific and the merging of Mexican
properties aroused suspicion that this
might be the matter that had given
rise TO all the surmises of the COM
ing Hartman financial plan. Copper
industrials were the center of depres-
sion, the influence of the London
market and increasing rumors that
an operator largely concerned in
American coppers was in trouble.

tons.

New York, June 25.-Bradstreet's

weather and crops. and further ex-
pansion in the advancement of indus
trial operations were noted this week
Retail reports are still irregular. ex-
cessive heat being credited with re-
tarding distribution in some sections.
The jobbing trade reports are slightly
better, but by far the best reports as
to distributive trade come from the
WHOLESALERS lines.
The industries led by iron and steel
show an expansion of operations. a
larger output and some wage advances.
More confidence is expressed than at
any preceding time since the depres-
sion began. The situation in leather
trade is one of great strength. based
apparently upon the scarcity-of hides.

LOCAL FINANCIAL NEWS.

Interest was manifested at the meeting
of the stock exchange today to learn the
effect on the market price for Lanston of
the news that came from the company
that 1t was proposed to ask from the
| stockholders authority to double the cap
| ltal stock or increase it from five to ten
millions of dollars and make the par value
of the stock 800 instead of $50. This in
formation reached the stockholders today
in the form of printed notice of a spe-
cial meeting of the stockholders to be held
at Alexandria the 18th instant for the
purpose of considering an increase in the
capital stock
1t was apparent that this was news to
| most Of the stockholders. 1t was inferred
that 1t was a part of the business trans
acted at the meeting of the directors held
In Philadelphia last week. when a q per
cent dividend was decided upon. 1t is con-
Guided from this circumstance, as well as
the wording of the notice. that while 1t is
intended to secure authority to increase
| the capital stock yet the issue of it will
be made matter of the future
Further it is not supposed that the
earning capacity Of the company is quite
up to paying dividend of per cent on
ten millions of dollars of stock. At any
rate this was evidently the vieM taken by
the brokers. for the call of the stock was
entirely without event. There was no
CndnSe mace IN the quotations ana 1874
was bid today at the close, and - was
asked, just as was the case at the close
of yesterdays trading.
SiXty-five shares comprised the entire
trading, two small lots selling for 10 and
a fifty-share lot for 1875.
Gas stock has become the scarcest
stock on the list, at least of those for
which there is a demand In fact just
now gas stock stands by itself, for it is
practically the only stock where the bid
is on a rising scale, and where so few
lots are marketed Today. following the
course of the past few days, the stock
advanced and scored nearly point, when
the best selling price of yesterday is
compared with the bid of today.
In spite of the better figures, only six
ty shares came out. and the best figure
secured for a twenty-five share lot was
69S4. The bid rose to 20 while the asking
price was 71n.

MEETING is POSTPONED.
Railway Commissioners Will No
Assemble Here Until Nov. 16.

A call was sent out today to the men,
bers Of the National Association of Rail-
way Commissioners giving November JIG
as the date for the annual meeting in this
city. The sessions will continue for at
least three days and are to be held in

merce commission chambers. 1t is OK
pected that important questions OIL rail-
way legislation will be discussed
The association Is composed of the in
terstate commerce commissioners. the au-
ditor, the statistician and the chief clerk
and all state commissioners, their depu-
ties and clerks. The membership Of the
organization is about 1875. and at least $50
are expected to attend the sessions here
IN November. In addition to railway leg
islatton 1t is expected that important re-
ports of committees on other subjects at
fecting the control and management of
railways will come up for consideration
1t was originally intended to have the
association meet today but owing to the
fact that all of the interstate commerce
commissioners are now on the Pacific
coast it was deemed expedient to post
pone the date until the middle of No.
vember.
