THE CUNN|FF AMENDMENT
On Which the Segregation ists and Anti Segregation ists Stand for a Time at
 Least in Harmony-Th Recall Will Be Up Today.

Out of most threatening situation in the constitutional convention yester- day there came a compromise on the segregation feature of the proposition by the adoption of the Cunniff minority report of the legislative committee last week.
 When the unfinished initiative and referendum measure was taken up ih the whole committee, with MT. Ingra- ham in the chair, MT. Roberts moved that paragraph of the proposition be adopted. It was plain that Mir. Rob- erts did not understand the status of the proposition and it turned out that nobody was quite sure of 1t. A refer ence to the record showed that action on it had been postponed; that there was pending an amendment by MT. Webb calculated to give the counties absolute control over the towns and that there was also pending a motion by MT. Cooker to substitute for the Webb amendment one absolutely pro- tecting incorporated towns and cities from county control
 With the air of one who knew his strength, MT. Coker introduced still an-
 
 than the former one. It proposed that even school districts as we'll as cities and towns should be invested with home rule.
 Further Delay Sought.
 It was the general opinion that if this amendment came to a vote, it would be adopted. Mir Crutchfield therefore made a motion to defer con- sideration of it and all other related matters. The motion went to a vote without debate and was defeated by 21 to 29.
 This did not exactly represent the comparative strength of the two fac tions. A couple of members who were opposed to segregation voted against the motion. They could see no use in prolonging the agony.
 Judge Baker made a strong protest against the Coker amendment. He feared that the convention was about to do something at which Arizona would blush. The parting of the ways had been reached. The convention stood on the brink of a chasm. Judge Baker said that he was not concerned with the struggle between the saloon
  this amendment he said would remove from the counties the power to tax property in the cities and towns for county purposes. It would also be so mangling of the initiative and refer endum provision that it could not be recognized by any friend of direct legislation between Maine and oregon.
 That paragraph was confusing he admitted The original paragraph had been clear. It had taken away no right that the towns enjoyed under the pres- ent segregation law and had not dis turbed the status of either the saloons or the prohibitionists. The confusion in paragraph had grown out of eff forts to amend it to meet the various views of all concerned
 Judge Doe rose to inquire of Judge Baker if he seriously believed what he said when he stated that under the Coker amendment the county would be Continued on p. 2, Second Section.)

tire absence of dust. The grounds have been thoroughly sprinlzled and there was no thick, heavy brown fog to choke ones throat and obstruct his nostrils.
 This year the Hassayamp is un- usually well supplied with midway shows that are really high class. The principal attractions are the Colorado Mummy. Eaton's museum of anatomy, Ia big snake, wild girl, oriental or 'hoochee coochee" show and a Span ish vaudeville show. The captive balloon, mentioned above, is the greatest attraction of all.
 Music was furnished by the Copper Queen band from Bisbee, which was sent here at the expense of Walter Douglas. The fair commission is not paying a cent for the service of the musicians. It is conceded by all who know good music when they hear it that this band is as good as any ever heard here. though not as large as the Mexican military band which came to the fourth fair.
 During the afternoon an excellent exhibition of fancy shooting was giv- en just inside the half mile track by a representative of the U. M. C. com pany. A trick bicycle rider furnished much amusement.
 More has been done for the accom- modation of the public at the fair grounds this year than ever before. The addition to the press stand is particularly appreciated by the news paper men. The reporters also ap- preciate the telephones which have been installed free of charge in the press box by the Consolidated and Overland companies. A pay station booth has ben fitted up in elegant style by the Consolidated.
 The Races.
 Wilbur Lou, a California colt owned and driven by F. H. Halloway started the weeks racing with a sensation by equaling the worlds yearling trotting record of 2:23, held by Ad Bell
 It was announced by Starter W. P. McNair that Wilbur Lou would start to beat his own record of 2:3OH. Aft CT driving the little sorrel about the track few times, MT. Halloway nod GU lO lHe SldTIerS DOX ana was away on a mile that will be talked about by horsemen from one end of the coun- try to the other.
 Before Wilbur Lou had gone quar- ter it was apparent that he was trot- ting a wonderful mile for a yearling. Those who were holding watches pre- dicted that if the colt did not break he would certainly lower his own rec ord but no one suspected that he would equal the worlds record. His remark able performance came as a complete surprise.
 Without faltering once, Wilbur Lou swept around the track. As he came up the stretch every muscle was strained to the utmost and the speedy yearling was reaching for all he was worth.
 When the timers announced the time of the mile the horsemen got together and began to ask each other if 2:23
