CONSTITUTION MAKERS
ADOPT LABOR MEASURES
Last Arizona Proposition Prob
ably Will Be Considered
at Today'S Session

puOEN1x. Ariz., Dec. 2.-Rapid
nroeress was made today toward COM
Melting Arizona's constitution, anu uh-
less unforeseen developments occur
the convention which was been IN sea-
sion eight weeks tomorrow VIII De
ready to adjourn Tuesday, seVeIal
days earlier than the limit fixed by
the enabling act. At the close of to-
DAVIS session comparatively few prop
ositions remain in the hands or ne
revision and compilation committee
and they will be up for final passage
tomorrow.
More than half the constitution as
adopted has been sent to the printer
for the printing of the completed oocu
ment.
With the forenoon session devoted
largely to the measures advocated by
union labor, the afternoon session was
consumed largely in a third readlnS
and final passage of measures Tor the
regulation of corporations. Inc nrsl
measure adopted was that for the
government of municipalities, g wing
cities of $500 population or greater the
mower to frame their own charters.
The article for the regulation of
foreign and domestic corporations was
passed by a vote of A to in almost
the identical form it was tentatively
adopted and that creating corpora
tion commission and prescribing du-
ties also was adopted without amend
ment after a motion to raise the sal
ary of the commissioners from $4,000
to $500 had been defeated. An effort
also was made to change the clause
compelling telephone COMPANIES TO
transmit MESSAGES from other COM
panies but this likewise was defeated
Considerable debate occurred in the
forenoon over the labor measures. Al
though numerous efforts were made
to amend or defeat them, all three re-
ported by the compilation committee
were passed The proposition proVld-
ing employment of only citizens, Wards
of the government, or aliens who have
declared their intention to become c1tl-
zensN on state, county and mun1clpal
work had q narrow escape. On the
first vote it was defeated but friends
obtained reconsideration and final pas
sage was effected by bare majority,
it receiving the necessary 27 votes re-
uuired for final adoption. The others
passed provided for eight hours day
on state work and prohibited labor
blacklsts.
The convention concluded the days
work with the passage of an educa-
tional measure by unanimous vote.

WRITES FAREWELL NOTE;
ENDS LIFE IN CEMETERY Y
Body of John Miller Found by a
SearCher for CurioS

at did this job November 30-John
Miller" written on piece of paper is
the only clew the coroner's office has
to the identity of a man whose body
was found dangling at the end of a
rope in Calvary cemetery yesterday
morning. The body was found by John
Conley, who was walking through the
old burial ground in search of curios.
He notified the police and the body
was removed to John r. PauFs UNDER
taking establishment
From all appearances, Miller was a
German, about 80 years old, and a
travelling furniture salesman by pro-
fession. He probably had come here
from San Francisco about two months
ago, ticket stub being found in his
clothes bearing a recent date. A re-
ceipt, indicating that he was in the
habit of sending money to Hamburg.
Germany, was also found. He had a
picture of himself carefully put away
in his pocket. The inquest probably
will be held today.

j. S. TRUST FOES
|NDICT RAILROADS
Eastern Lines Caught in Net with
Transportation Company
and Grain Shippers
ALLEGED RATE REDUCTIONS
Investigation Arises from Com
plants Registered with the
Interstate Commission,

SAVANNAH, Ga, Dec. 2.-After
hearing testimony since noon on Mon
day, the federal grand jury of the Unit
ed States district court handed down
indictments today charging an IN
ffingement of the antitrust laws on
the part Of three large corporations ana
two individuals. The Atlantic Coast
Line railway and the Seaboard AR
Line railway were each jointly indict-
ed with the Merchants and Millers
Transportation company for specihc
violation of the Sherman antitrust
law and the Elkins law, while Harvie
Miller and Morris Miller, grain mer-
chants and members of the firm of l..
f. Miller g. Sons of Philadelphia, were
the individuals to feel the wrath OF the
government.
The Merchants and Millers' Trans
portation company was indicted three
times, once as a sole offender and twice
in connection with the Seaboard Air
Line and the Atlantic Coast Air Line
railway Morris f. Miller and Harv1e
c. Miller of Philadelphia were immedi-
ately arrested and placed under bonds
of $25,000 each. :,
Dates are given when the individual
defendants are alleged to have made
over the lines named at rates
less than those on file with the inter
state commerce commission. 1t is al
legged that from a western point to Phil
adelphia the Millers obtained export
rates, where the law demanded that
they should be shipped under domestic
rates. This saved them from / to 8
cents on every hundred pounds OF
grain shipped.
The investigation arose from COM
plants registered with the interstate
commerce commission during the sum-
mer to the effect that the Miller firm
had effectively destroyed competition
in grain shipments over an enormous
territory, embracing points along the
and Ohio rivers and in the
South A tIantic states

DIAz ASKS REBELS
TO ACCEPT PEACE
Commission Named by Mexican
President Speeding to Ma

WHITE FLAG ON ENGINE
First Time Mexican Government
Has Made Such 0vertures
in Thirty Years

Ell PASO, Tex, Dec. 2.-The insur-
rectionary troubles in Mexico took on
an entirely new and unexpected aspect
here tonight when it became known
the government had made overtures of
peace. This is the first time in thirty
years the Mexican government has
made such overtures.
A peace commission has been ap
pointed by Diaz, according to spe-
cial dispatch to the Times from Chi
huahua, to treat with the dsaffected
element, and the commission is now at
San Isidro, where the insurrectionists
are strong.
The trip from Chihuahua was made
in a special train over the Mexican
Northwestern railroad with q white
flag flying on the engine. The COM
mission is composed of Chihuahua
men, but the personnel is not given.
The explanation of this move is that
foreign interests have brought strong
pressure to bear on the government to
end the turmoil by placating the In

the benefit performance given yester-
day afternoon by the Theatrical Me-

both. Talent from the various houses

help was given by persons outside pro-
fessional ranks. The performance was
started at 1 o'clock and continued
until $50.
Probably the features were 1.-THE Old
Soldier Fiddlers" and Frank Morrell,
1.-THE Singing Minstrel" William
Faversham, who was booked for an
act, refused to appear, and this num-
ber was filed by the Russian ballet.
