Address of Professor McGee at the
University Last Night.

Tucson. AriZ-, June 2.-(Special)-
Prof W. ]. MCGEE, secretary of the
national conservation commission and
member of the board of governors OF
the national irrigation congress, was
the principal speaker tonight at the
university commencement exercises. In
the course of his address Professor
MCGEE devoted himself mainly to the
agricultural possibilities of Arizona
and he made a statement which he
said would be received with surprise
in som parts of the country.
He said that it was now generally
understood that Arizona was among
The richest, if not the very richest
of the mineral regions of the United
States. Ee would predict. though, that
before long Arizona would be better
known for its agricultural than for its
mineral wealth and would become the
richest agricultural region in the un-
ion. There was not of course, he said,
such great unbroken areas of agricul-
tural lands as there are in some of the
so-called agricultural states, but he
said that the greater fertility Of the
soil here and the ability of it to pro-
duce so many crops a season would
overcome the difference in area

NIGHT CARS STOPPED
N PHILADELPHIA
RIOTS CAUSED BY ATTEMPTS TO
RUN THEM.
Street Car Strike Being Dragged Into
Politics in Philadelphia.

Philadelphia, Pa, June Am at
tempt by the rapid transit company to
run cars with non-union men resulted
tonight in a number of serious riots
1t was the first effort to operate lines
at night and after several futile eff
forts to get the cars through the mobs
they were sent back to the barns. At
least 100 men were more or less serI-
ously injured in rioting
In the Kensington district men, wo-
men and children pulled the motor
men and conductors from their cars
and beat them severely. In many in
stances the cars were set on fire The
police were powerless to control the
strike sympathizers. When they
charged the mob separated only to
form again in the vicinity of another
car. Several policemen were injured.
In West Philadelphia dynamite caps
were placed on the tracks and crowds
stoned the non-union workmen when
they attempted to bring out the cars,
forcing them to return to the barn. In
the downtown section conductors and
motormen were pulled from the cars
and their clothing torn off by mobs of
strike sympathizers. In some cases
the terrified men had to be taken to
private houses and guarded by the
police to save them from harm.
The Central Labor Union has de-
termined to take advantage of the po-
litical features involved and tonight
decided to issue a call upon all the
members and sympathiZers to cele
brate next Saturday. which is primary
election day here and white Ribbon
Day" The White Ribbon is an en-
blem of le striking carmen. Their
sympathizers are asked by the Central
Labor Union to wear this emblem on
election day and vote for d. Clarence
Gibbony for district attorney and
President Murphy of the union for
city treasurer in opposition to the slat
ed republican nominees.
An attorney for the strikers today
caused warrants to be issued for the
arrest of two policemen who are al
legged to have struck one of the drivers
without sufficient provocation. Writs
of habeas corpus have also been issued
for the release of strikers who have
been arrested.

THE GOVERNMENT
GIVEN MORE TIME
TO PROVE THE EXISTENCE OF
MALICE
In the Editorials of the Indiana polls
News.

Indianapolis, June z.-Prominent fl
nanciers. politicians and government
officials must testify in the criminal
libel case of the government against
Delavan Smith and Charles r. Will
liams, owners of the INDIANAPOLIS
News. Judge Anderson today con-
tinued till October II, the hearing of
the case growing out OF the publica-
ton of the Panama graft charges.
This was done on the governments s
contention that such delay was nee
essary in order that witnesses might
be heard.
Those whose testimony is sought,
include Frank NJ Hitchcock, former
chairman of the republican national
committee; Norman Z. Mack, chair
man of the democratic national COM
mittee; George B. COrtelyeu, and GER
tain members of the office staff of
]. P. Morgan and company and vari-
Gus government officials
The defense protested against the
continuance, saying the government
should have been prepared to sub
nit evidence and the court at first
seemed to approve. On the statement
of government counsel, however, as to
what it was expected to prove by the
new witnesses the court decided to
hear further evidence District Attor-
ney Mcnamara said he would prove
by Hitchcock and Mack that they had
made public announcements that the
Panama story offered to both of
them was a fake, originated by black
mailers who at first hoped to get
money from William Nelson Crom-
well, but failed.
The story was published in the
New York World and the same paper
on October printed CromweIrs de-
nial. Mcnamara said he expected to
prove that the defendants had knOwl-
edge of the denial when they pre-
pared their editorial articles for the
Indianapolis News
By members of ]. Pierpont Nor
gan's staff he said he expected to
prove that the forty million dollars
that the United States paid for the
Panama canal was paid directly to
the two old French companies and at
once distributed to about 22O,OO
holders of the stock in France and
that no go-between got a cent of
profit.

is Believed Will Contribute
Much to Peace on the Con-

st. Petersburg, June "A meeting
between Emperor William and EN-
peror Nicholas has been arranged and
will take place i'm the waters of the
Finnish gulf The exact date is not
yet settled but it probably will be
on June II. The German emperor
will arrive on the imperial yacht Ho-
henzollern. Emperor Nicholas will be
aboard the STANDARD, accompanied by
NJ. IswOlsky, the foreign minister. and
Admiral VoevOdsky, minister of ma
rine
News of the approaching interview
between the sovereigns, coming so
soon after the settlement of the Bal
kan crisis, has aroused eager spec
ulation among diplomats here. 1t was
supposed in some quarters that Ger
man mediation which had ended the
crisis, had left a heritage Of bitter
ness that would estrange the two
monarchs and lead Russia to identify
herself more closely with Great Brit
aims continental policy.
The meeting, which, according to
some reports, has been arrange on
the initiative of Emperor Nicholas, is

many to the doubtful issue of an
antagonistic policy If Emperor Will
liam meets President Fallieres also,
as it is reported he will do. the Eu
ropean situation may be regarded as
entering upon a decidedly peaceful
phase.
After meeting the kaiser, the czar
will go to Stockholm, probably on
June 26. Then he will return to
Peterhof and during the early days
of July and will receive King Fred
erick of Denmark The car will pro-
ceed later to Poltva to be present on
July and at the celebration of
the 200th anniversary of the battle
of Poltva. He will then depart for
visit to France and England and
probably Italy.
Plans for this trip are held in the
deepest secrecy, but elaborate prep
arations already are being taken to
prevent tampering with the railway
lines to Poltva- Forty eight thousand
troops will be stationed along the
route during the journey. The mill
tary attaches of the various legations
have been invited to accompany the

YOUNGER HORN BROTHER
Spared the Imprisonment on
Account of His Youth and
the Bad Examples of His
Elders--Judse Snider's
Absence from Arizona.

Kansas City, No, June 2.-(Spe-
cial)-Four of the promoters of the
Two Queens" gold mines in Arizona,
Frank H. Horn, E. S. Horn, Raymond
P. May and S. II. Snider, were SEN
fenced to one year and one day at
hard labor in the federal prison at
LeavenwOrth, and fined $500 and costs
today in the federal court. John E
Horn, 22 years old, the youngest of
the defendants, was fined $500 and
costs.
All of the promoters except E. S.
Horn were in court and were SEN
fenced this morning. E. S. Horn sent
word that he was i'll, but that he
would appear this afternoon to take
his punishment. At 2:25 o'clock he
went to the federal court building in
a motor car. Two men who accom-
panied him helped him into the build
ing. He was taken to Judge Philips
private chambers and there sentenced.
The maximum fine for this offense
is only $780," Judge Philips said to
four of the promoters. In viewing
your whole case and considering the
number of persons who were affected
by your mining operations and the
purposes of the law, it would be a
travesty on justice to impose this fine.
1t is the order of the court that
Frank II. Horn, Raymond P. May
and 5. H. Snider be Imprisoned for
one year and one day and that they
pay a fine of $500 and costs.
And now as to John E. Horn. he
is ony % years old; if he had had
better example from his older broth
ers l believe that he would not now
be in this trouble. He is not, how
ever. to be excused for what he mas
done. He wrote a telegram to Mrs.
Skaggs, a widow, and induced her to
buy mining stock. He signed another
mans name to his letters However.
on account of his youth l will not
sentence him to prison. He shall
pay a fine of $500 and costs"
The case of the Two Queens pro-
moters was placed on trial in the
federal court, May 10, and continued
eight days Circular letters. booklets
and announcements sent through the
mails by the promoters, were sub
mitted to the jury and evidence was
introduced to show that the repre-
sentations were not based on facts.
About twenty purchasers of Two
Queens stock from various parts of
the United States testified. The trial
