That Williams will celebrate the one hundred and thirty-fourth an- niversary of the nations independ- ence and celebrate it in grand style is assured fact, and nothing will be left undone by the business men and citizens of the town to make the demonstration a grand success if actions can be judged by the senti- ments and views of our leading citizens.
 While the various committees have not as yet been appointed, it was decided, at very enthusiastic meeting of the business men, held at the Grand Canyon hotel. last Wednesday evening, that in view of the fact that an agreement had been entered into between Williams and Flagstaff two years ago that it vas to the advantage of both towns to take turn about, one celebrat- ing one year and the other the next, it would be we'll to still carry out this idea and take out turn this year.
 However, nothing was accomp- lished at last Wednesday nights meeting, which was attended by a large majority of the business men of town, other than the decision to

CHALK TALK PLEASED
 A LARGE AUDIENCE

A large and appreciative audience was on hand to greet Mir. and Mrs. Ash Davis, the Santa Fe entertain CTS, at the opera house last Tues day evening. and the theater goers of Williams were given one of the most pleasing entertainments of the season.
 MT. Davis is one of the leading cartoonists of the country and is certainly an artist with the chalk; and aside from being an artist is very clever lecturer, and he tells the audience with delft fingers and clever explanations of his character sketches, in the course of the even ing's entertainment, what would re- quire hours to tell with just the use of language-his original jokes and sayings will long be remembered by the people of Williams
 MT. Davis made, in the course of the evenings entertainment of one hour and twenty minutes, 12O diff ferent sketches. His pictures have very wide range; cartoons illus trating great events of history, poli- tics and society, paintings. and drawings of home life down on the old farm, character sketches of the prominent people of the day, trans formations of pictures from one sub- ject to another, in fact. portraying scenes and faces of all walks of life from the funniest to the most pa- thetic, and ending the evenings most pleasant and educating en- tertainment with a most beautiful picture entitled, "Home, Sweet Home."

Letter from J. E. Jones

Flagstaff, Ariz., April 13, 191O- MT. D. A. Byrne, Williams, Ariz.
 Dear Sir: I have your favor asking what disposition was made of the Williams tax case and will say, that the injunction was dis solved by the court. I wish you will state to all of the parties who joined in this injunction suit to not pay this tax under any consider ation as I am of the same opinion that l have always been, that is, that it is not legal tax and can not be collected by the city au- thorities. I therefore advise all my clients to pay no attention whatever to the collection of this tax as I am thoroughly convinced that it cannot be collected from them under any circumstances
 Yours very truly,
 J. E. Jones

TAX CASE IS WON
 BY THE TOWN

For the year 1909 the city au- thorities made tax levy of ten mills, four of which was for intrest on the indebtedness. The collection of the latter was waived by City Attorney Geo. w. Glowner when injunction proceedings were insti- tuted against the city by some of our citizens who thought the tax levy illegal, when It was shown that the town had no indebtedness.
 The injunction proceedings were submitted to Judge Doe in his cha DO bers at Prescott last Decem- Der and were dissolved, the court holding the six mill levy legal.
 At that hearing City Attorney Glowner raised the legal question and the court sustained him, that an injunction does not lie to re strain the collection of taxes by a town, and that the statutes provide in suits at law for the protection of the tax payer against illegal as easements, and it was on this de- cision that the injunction was dis solved.
 The case was taken to the district court and was heard before Judge Edward M. Doe in Flagstaff last Tuesday. Attorney Glowner again representing the city, and was again decided in favor of the Town of Williams, so those who have not paid their taxes previous to November 1, last, must now pay the six mill tax with the added penalty. according to this decision
 It is understood that the plain tiffs gave notice of appeal.

have a celebration in Williams, tp which everyone present, after stat ing their views in the matter, pledged both their moral and f. nancial aid in the undertaking, and the effecting of tenn porarv organization, with John Hill as president, and J. s. Amundsen as secretary.
 However. the fact remains that WILLIAMS WILL HAVE A GRAN CELEBRATION ON JULY 4, and every citizen of the town should exert his utmost ener- gy toward making it a grand suc- cess and one of the best ever held in Coconino county.

APPREHENSION OVER
 LIBERIAN SITUATION

Washington, March 31-The situation in Liberia is causing apprehension here. The attack by the native tribes from the French side of the Soudan boun- dary> along the Cavilly river upon the English factory and Liberian troops would be in itself dangerous to the existence of the little republic. In addition there is a state of practical de- moralization at Monrovia, the capital and the finances of the country are in desperate plight, all factions which might easily serve as a pretext for intervention by some of the European powers. svch intervention usually leads to permanent domination and the state departments resolved that thls shall not be. Already British and French warships are on their way to the seat of trouble. This morning from St. Vim cent. c. w., the swift scout cruiser Birmingham sailed direct for Monrovia where it Is due Saturday evening with MT. Lion, the American minister to Liberia, aboard. He has specific in- structions to do what Is necessary to protect American interests and to help out tffe administration there as far as can be properly done.

PREMIER ASQUITH
 HAS OPPOSITION

London, March 31.-The official opposi- tion amendment to Premier Asquith's res olutions on the veto power of the house of lords was moved in the house of com mons today by Sir Robert Bannatyne Finlay It declares in favor of a strong and efficient second chamber and ex- presses willingness to consider proposals for the reform of the upper house, but declines to proceed with the government proposals which would destroy the useful ness of any second chamber.
 Winston Spencer Churchill, the home secretary, made an important contribu- tor to the debate. He declared that when the veto resolutions were disposed of they would advance with the budget, regard less of the consequences. Unless the house of commons carried the budget, it was idle, he said, to look to the king or to the country to carry the veto bill, but he predicted that at the proper time and under the proper circumstances they would succeed in carrying both the veto and budget measures to the steps of the throne.
 Premier Asquith's guiloting measure, which is published tonight, provides that the committee stage of all three veto resolutions shall be concluded on the night of April IA.
