Glasgow, Aug. 2.-In his presiden.

of the Society of Chemical Industry.
recently Mr.. Reman, principal OF the
John Hopkins University, Baltimore.
made a severe attack upon Sunday
newspapers. Speaking of the conserva.
ton of the forests in the United States
he said they were being rapidly ruth
lessly destroyed, and that the manu-.
facture Of wood pulp paper made cru.
ell inroads on them.
This drain" he continued. 'is per.

Srate Of mind on the part of the people
who seem TO delight in masses of

Sunday newspaper. wish 7 could

RAGING GAME
NEARING END
Saratoga Meet Tomorrow
May be the Last in the
Empire State for
Years.

New York. Aug. 2.--Race track fol.
lowers win leave New York tomorrow
night on a special train for Saratoga
where they VIII witness what may be
the last important race meeting TO
be held in the Empire State for many
years to come. Indications are not
lacking that the sport of kings is on
its last legs and that the first day
of next month will marx It's finish.
On thai, day the Directors Liability
Law becomes effective, and the back.

ey with the legal buzz-saw.
Although the Saratoga meet and
the running Of the Futurity are likely
to be the last events of the year on
the local turf, the racing interests
have too much money at stake to give
up without struggle. There will
doubtless be n test case OF the new
law, but there is a general feeling
among the horsemen that this will
serve little t. perpetuate the game,
and many or the weaker spirited ones
are advocating a yielding to the inevi-
table. No matter ny that hook or
crook the sport might be given n short
lease OF life, they urge. the dissolu.
ton is inevitable and the patient may
as well be permitted to die in peace.
Others h"lG that a poker may be
found In the new law, which. they all
lege, is very ambiguous. At that. the
leaders are not going to take any
chances, but will let the courts decide
before attempting to resume racing.

SECOND MEETING OF
 GITY FATHERS HELD
COUNCIL WILL HOLD ADJOURN ED SESSION UNTIL EouALlzA. TON is COMPLETED.

The council was in session last evening as a board of equalization in the second meeting it has held for this purpose. The work is a long and tedious one and will require at least four more sessions before com pletion. After the assessment list has been gone over and equalization made where it is found necessary. the council will call upon the city clerk for his estimate of all bills which the city owes and by a com Darison of the amount of these bills with the total assessed valuation of the city they can determine what tax assessment shall be made.
 In order to Iegaiize the proceedings of these adjourned sessions one name on the city list was taken up at the last previous meeting and the made. As much work as is possible is now being done in the list of assessments and >equaliza- tion and recess taken until the next night of meeting. Until a final de- cfsion is reached the council may be said to be in continuous session.

All that was accomplished in the days trad ing was to rectify the false steps talk en In response to the sensation mon gering of yesterday regarding the Ger man foreign office utterances. Part of this had been accomplished be- fore yesterdays colse.
 There was a spasmodic advance in prices at the opening. when uncover ed shorts took stocks at the prices offered, owing to the discovery that they had been totally misled by yes terday's unfounded publication. The satisfaction of this more urgent de- mand left little buying power in the market and a fresh decline in the coppers followed.
 Amalgamated Copper sold down to % Is, a new low level of the year. A rally in the price of copper metal in the London market relieved this stock of some of the pressure.
 The question of the dividend rate was discussed and the varying views affected the price movement.

REGIST RATION
 ISPROCEEDING
 VERY SLOWLY
Only 177 Names on Roll in
 BiSbee 10 This Time, DeS-
 plte the Importance of the
 Election.

Registration of voters in the pre-
 cincts of Bisbee and Lowell is pro ceeding very slowly and the regis tration officers are of the opinion that
 the voters do not appreciate the full importance Of this registration.
 Judge Murphy of Lowell precinct, at noon yesterday, had registered only 24. In 1908, when the territorial cleo ton registry was taken this precinct totaled HOO including Warren, which has since been redistricted. and is now a separate registration pre- cIRct, although yet in the same ju- dicial district.
 Judge High, City Clerk McKeehan and Judge Burdick record a total registration yesterday of TIT, Judge High leading with 127 registered vot- CTS.
 The true importance of this regis tration can not be too strongly i'm pressed on the citizens of this dis trict, and in fact of the entire county.
 When Governor Sloan. by procla- nation, called for a special registra- tion he left it to be inferred that all voters who were on the great register of 1908 were eligible to vote for state officers at the election of such next year and that although reg istrauon at this time is desirable it Is not absolutely necessary to the exercise of the suffrage. The county commissioners also issued a call for a special registration and they place more importance upon 1t than does the governor, for they insist and are up held in their contention by County Re corder C. A Mcdonald that a voter who does not register at this time VIII be ineligible to vote for state at the election next year.
 A test case on this question will come up and be heard be- lore higher court, bat it may be that when the opinion of the court Is handed down it will be too lase to register, and the voter will lose his right to vote at an election which Will be tha-most important that has ever been held in Arizona.
 It may be that the governors op- ! lnion in the matter will be con firmed by the court but if it is not, and the commissioners are in the right of the matter, then it were well { mat all voters should register at | once, that there may be no bar to ! their voting at the coming state cleo ton, the first held by the Common wealth Of Arizona.

ITALY ID ASK ExTRADITIO N
 FOR CHARLTON
Alleged Wife Murderer May be Safely Immured in ASIum and Complex Legal QueS- ton Arises.

WASHINGTON July 1S.-Formal request for the extradition of Porter Charlton, charged with killing his wife at Lake Como, Italy, has been forwarded by special messenger from Rome to London, whence it will be sent on to Washington by the first last mail. Word to this effect reached the state department through the em- bassy at Rome. Monday next will be the earliest date on which the receipt of the request may be expected, and the document may not arrive for eight days.
 Can an insane person be extra dited?" was a question the depart. ment considered today. It was con sidered that a person in an insane asylum at the time the request for extradition comes cannot be surren- dered. No definite steps looking to the confinement of Charlton in an asylum, aside from the employment of alienists, have been taken, and consequently this case opens up some interesting considerations.
