OLD WAR HORSE IS
 EAGER TO FRANCE
From Thursdays Daily)

That G. W. Hull of Jerome is an avowed candidate for member of the Constitutional convention, subject to the will of the county Democratic convention, was the statement made last evening by Attorney c. H.: Ruth erford, on his arrival from his home in the Copper City. Attorney Ruth erford is United States Court Com missioner at Jerome. He is here on official and professional business.
 "With the exception of a few, every resident of Jerome and the Verde Valley is enthusiastic over Statehood and the coming Constitu- tional convention is the subject of much diseussion,' Attorney Ruther- ford said to a representative of the Journal Miner. "G. W. Hull is all avowed candidate for the nomination as one of the six representatives al- lowed this county. MT. Hull has a strong constituency, and his claims will be pushed in the next Demo- cratic convention. It is conceded in Jerome Democratic circles that he is well fitted for the place. He is a legislator of much experience, and duIlnS the laSJ twenty y-nNe years mas ,fathered some very important legisla- tioR. He is also a good parliamentar- ian, and in the event of his election would be a prominent member of the fifty-two that will be chosen to frame the constitution for the new state. '
 Asked if ne would be a candidate for the much coveted honor. himself. Attorney Rutherford refused to af- firm or deny that be is a receptive candidate. He admitted in a diplo- matic way, that he had not heard of any candidate from the Verde Val ley on either ticket, and declared that he considered the valley and Jer- Ome are each entitled to one candi- date
 MT. Rutherford reports the usual activities at the United Verde mine and shelter and other properties in the Verde district. Prosperous busi- ness conditions prevail in Jerome and Verde Valley farmers are tub liant over good fruit, grain and hay crops.

zona, if not the party dictator of the entire Territory, to Ego way back and sit down.'' Mike G.. Burns of Yavapai was omnipresent, jumping here and there like a car niverous flea. Other notables who drifted into the caucus, wearing. an air of wisdom and a few clothes, were Dr. J. R. Whitesides of Mo have. Sam Withers of Mohave, John J. Hawkins, T. G. Norris, P. w. O'Sullivan, R. P. Talbot, George D. Morris, John H. Robinson, Joe Ryan, H. T. Andrews, J. E. Russell and N. A. Vyne. Later on Reese M. Ling and J. P. Dillon made their Appearance.
 A TOW developed from the drop of the nat. the hostilities arising over the political expediency of whether the Territorial committee should rec ommend that the county organiza- tions should work for non-partisan tickets. Norris, Hawkins and Ling stood as firm as Casabianea on the Dulu mug uCCh 4Ol HOHSACi NCAOSo tions, or to use more polite term, non partisan delegations.
 Vyne, Russell, Ives, O'Sullivan and Ashurst, argued until their teeth be- came loose, for a bipartisan Consti- tutional convention. They seemed to scent a scheme that the non- partisan idea was for the sinister purpose of permitting the corpora tions to control the convention. Mike Burns argued that the voters could be seduced into voting for the Democratic candidates as dele gates to the convention by having each county convention instruct its nominees to vote for the initiative and referendum and a railroad liabil- ity clause, to be incorporated in the proposed constitution.
 As result, nothing definite was accomplished after two hours of pow-wow, and the matter will be threshed out today in the regular session of the committee after the remaining members shall nave ar rived from the south. There were many animated street conferences last night and the consensus of opin- ion was that the committee today would decide to make the fight along party lines.

RUINS IN
 NORTHERN ARIZONA
rFrom Wednesdav,s Dail

(From Wednesdays Daily)
 Dr. J. W. Fewkes of the Smith sonian Institute, returned on last Thursday evening from a trip of 200 miles to the Marshall Pass country, in northern Arizona, and after having been gone for forty-fve days. He was accompanied by Mrs. Fewkes, Al. Doyle and Robert Caring, says the Flagstaff Sun.
 Dr. Fewkes is the best authority on ancient ruins in the United States and has done more to protect them than any other person in the West.
 In describing the new wonders, pr. Fewkes says they are among the largest and most perfectly DIV served ruins of the ancient race in the Southwest, and he estimates they are approximately 800 years old.
 One mammoth cave has an opening of about 600 feet in front and ex- tends back into the cliff about 100 feet or more. This cave contains from seventy-fve to one hundred rooms, all built of adobe brick The bricks are made of mud and straw and are about two feet long and four inches thick.
 Altogether there are over fourteen separate and distinct two story houses of this kind, and only one which was built of rock
 "The trip was the toughest one I have ever taken during my work in the Southwest,'' continued the doctor, "and owing to a lack of help I was unable to do more than build a road to them over ins In dian trail. Help from the Indians l was unable to secure, owing to their dread of what they call dead houses.' The country sur rounding is extremely rough, but well There are some pine and fur scattered over the mesas, and plenty of scrub oak and juniper.
 "That whole section of the Nav ajo country has been set aside as a national monument by President Taft, pending the investigation, ana as soon as possible I will make rec setting aside merely the ground covered by the different rulns."

George Reed, the only eyewitness of the shooting, and who was in the field at work, about 200 yards from where Murphy and Rhode met. He saw the former coming down the road leading a horse. At the same time Rhode was seen to advance from the field where he was plow- ing, going to the fence in front of Murphy. When about 120 feet from Murphy, he saw Rhode pull a gun from his pocket and fire. The bull let missed its mark, and Murphy ad- vanced toward him. Rhode then fred second shot, and it, too, went wild, Murphy during all this time continuing to advance. The last shot proved the fatal one, the bullet en- tering Murphy's right side, above the hip, bone, and lodging in the left side. He fell within eight feet of Rhode.
 After the shooting, Reed corrobor- orated previous statesments made that Rhode immediately after firing the last shot, rolled a cigarette and lighted it, standing over the body of his victim. He then went to his house near by, and after a few minutes returned to where Murphy was lying dead.
 Evidence was also given at the hearing that Rhode stated he was compelled to shoot in self-defense, when Murphy picked up a rock as he was advancing, and by throwing it at him in a violent manner. This was the only testimony of a miti- gating nature brought out in favor of Rhode.
 The hearing before Judge Stephens began at o'clock in the evening, and was cOnluded at 10 o'clock that night. Representing the defendant was R. N. Ling, while Assistant Dis triet Attorney O'Sullivan had esarge of the prosecution. W. $. Norviel, the official court reported of the district, was the stenographer. Dep uty Sheriff Joe Young accompanied the party, taking Rhode down and returning with him. The trip was made in D. NJ. Clark's auto, the lat ter driving the machine.
 Also in attendance at the examin- ation was Oliver Lee, a brother-in- law of Rhode, who arrived in Pres colt Tuesday morning from Donna Ana county, New Mexico, and who IS Teputed to be one of the wealth fest land and cattlemen in that Ter ritory.
 4 pathetic side of this unfortunate affair is shown in the leaving by Murphy of wife and five little children, who are being cared for at present by friends in the Verde Val ley.

NOVEL IDEA FOR B|G F|REMEN'S
 TOURNAMENT
CFrom Saturdays Daily)


 Yesterday, while in the city, en route to his home in Jerome, where he fills the important position of chief engineer of the United Verde Copper company, c. B. Hopkins made announcement of a very novel pur- pose to entertain the public in giv- ing a general fremen's tournament on Labor Day. The cities of Pres cott, Jerome, Flagstaff and Will jams are designated, and if the mat ter could not be arranged for that day, and a later date was deemed advisable, Phoenix should be included and the Territorial Fair occasion the proper time. The matter has been placed before Chief A. A. Johns of the Fire Department of this city.
 MT. Hopkins is aetuated in this movement from principles to see these worthy organizations recog- nized, believing them as of the best that are in existence, and annually, in their respective comun- ities, render incaleulable assistance in the preservation of property in- terests. MT. Hopkins stated that during the recent Fourth of July celebration in Jerome four hose teams entertained the people of that city, and the splendid record each team made prompted him to make the the teams of the four above named cities into one general demonstration to show the efficiency of the fire laddies of the respective localities, in practical work in all lines.
 A series of wet tests, straight away races and individual matches, with all the lines of fire working apparatus put into action, he be- lieves, would be instructive to the people, and advantageous to the good cause of the volunteer fremen.
 Several have suggested that Pres eott would be the proper place and Labor Day as a favorable time for the holding of such events. Better conditions prevail here for entertain ing the fremen in their various lines of giving fire exhibitions, and the accommodations are likewise sui fcient to care for any number of visitors that may come. The Pres colt Fire Department in addition, has a new and unused racing cart, of standard type, including ball bearing hubs. Apparatus in abund- ance is also available, with a gen eral meeting house equipped with bathing facilities available for the sprinters of each team.
 The observance of Labor Day with this character of sport and with what is being outlined in other attractions, will make the day one of the best that has ever been observed in a public celebration in Northern Ari- zona.

NEW HIGHWAY IS CLOSED ID
 TRAFFIC
From Saturdays Daily)


 That no accidents may happen while the Territorial road south of Prescott is under headway, and while the work of surfaeing the grade is going on, that thoroughfare will be closed to the public from and after today, was the announce ment made yesterday by the John son-Snea company, the contractors in charge of the work.
 The grade has been completed to point over three miles south of the city, and the crew is now en- gagged on the fourth mile. The work of eapping the roadbed with a de- composed granite will begin thIs morning, while the laying of pipe across the many gulehes will also be started immediately. A ear load of this material arrived yesterday, consisting of 1000 feet of 7-inen and 1000 feet of 24-ineh pipe. It will be laid at the many points along the route, so that no further delays will occur in the grading work. The read as completed is pronounced one of the best in Northern Arizona, and when the granite capping is laid and rolled on with implements especially made for finishing road work, it will be a boulevard.
 The rains falling are a great ad- vantage in creating a permanent roadbed, and the contractors take the action of closing it to traffic that they will not be interfered with in their special work at this time.

RHODE IS HELD WITHOUT
 BAIL
CFrom Saturdays Daily)

CFrom Saturdays Daily)
 P. T. Rhode, who shot and killed Lee Murphy, last week, near Camp Verde, was held to appear before the next grand jury, without bail, by Judge William Stephens, at the preliminary examination held at Camp Verde, Thursday evening. The prisoner was returned to Prescott yesterday morning and lodged in the county jail, to await further legal action.
 In the examination held before Judge Stephens, Rhode did not take the stand in his own behalf, and figured only as a spectator to the proceedings.
 Twelve witnesses were placed on the stand, and from the testimony given the following deductions are made, according to a statement of Assistant District Attorney O'Sulli- van, who represented the Territory at the examination:
 The differences existing between Murphy and Rhode were due to a misunderstanding on land matters, and from what could be learned it seems as though the two men were jointly farming a tract of several acres, and were to receive share and share alike of the proceeds. The land was secured by Murphy under a lease, and Rhode, the leaser, was to perform one-half of the work on the land operated by Murphy. Fol lowing dispute over the method of tilling the land, Murphy is al- legged to have made overtures to Rhode to take $100 in cash and turn the property back to Rhode and leave the place.
 From the testimoy of three wit nesses, the troubles between the two men that led to the shooting of Mur- phy had their inception over the land dispute, which took place about three months ago, Rhode at that tim openly threatening the life of Mur- phy. These threats were also re- newed to within the day previous to the killing.

MAY SUSPEND
 LOCALS
From Saturdays Daily)

"I believe that all the Socialist locals in Arizona, with the exception of that in Phoenix, will be suspend ed by the national organization as a result of the part they took in the labor convention just held in Phoe- nix"
 F. H. Lebiel, one of the leaders in the new Labor pary, expressed this opinion yesterday when asked what effect the afiliation of the Social ists with the Labor party would have on the branches of the Socialists in Arizona.
 "While it will result in our sus- pension," he added, Git will be merely technical, and probably will not last any longer than the exist ence of this new party, which is formed for the sole purpose of taking part in the framing of the state constitution.
 "Every Socialist who went into this Labor conference realized in ad- vance that he ran the danger of be- ing suspended, but we believe that Socialism mas been helped more by this move than it possibly could have been if we had not united with the whole body of the laboring men.
 "As far as this suspension is concerned, it affects only 290 voters, for that is the total enrolled mem bership of the Socialist party in Arizona. Of this number fully 100 have had not vote However, 2,600 votes were cast for the Socialist tickets in Arizona at the last Ter ritorial election.
 "The laws of the Socialist party are plain and cannot be misunder- stood. They provide clearly that suspension will follow any afiliation or fusing with another party. In the convention just held were reg ularly elected delegates from all the Socialist locals, except Phoenix, and I will be surprised if there is not an immediate order to suspend the locals in Arizona outside of Phoenix"
 lOCdlS CApCCl lO be suspended are those at Jerome, Bisbee, Globe, Miami, Lowell, Pres colt, MeCabe, Tucson and Yuma.
 Delegate James Johnson, who rep resented the Phoenix Socialists, walked out of the convention when he discovered that the sole purpose of the promoters of the conference was to bring about the organization of a new political party.
 J. D. Cannon of Bisbee was the candidate for Delegate to Congress on the Socialist ticket, two years ago. He is today the burning light in Soeialistic circles in Arizona. Can non, with Lebiel of Jerome, Kenneth Clayton of Globe and Jack Provost of Phoenix, will practically dictate the management of the Labor party in this campaign.
 As far as appearances go now, the Labor party and the Socialists will have a ticket in the field in | practically every county in Arizona. Each mas practically the same plat form.
