Convention
ARRANGE JUDICIARY SYSTEM
Each County Will Have One Su-
perior Court-DeIegates Hold
a Night Session
ASSOCIATED Press)

PHOENIX, Ariz., Nov 15.-Work-
ing in three sessions, the constitutional
convention made a record for progress
today by the tentative adoption of the
judiciary and executive propositions
after generous amendments to both.
The former proposition has been un-
der consideration the greater part of
two days, while the consideration of
the executive measure occupied the en-
tire attention of the convention tonight
at the first evening session held.
Afer the entire day had been spent
in tearing apart and putting together
again the majority report of the ju-
dietary committee, the committee OF
the whole at the conclusion of the
afternoon session recommended the
adoption of the report of the judiciary
system as amended and then voted to
hold its first night session to make up
for lost time. There was much oppo-
sition to holding an evening session,
but after several votes had been taken
the motion prevailed by one vote to
take a recess until 1880 o'clock tonight
Comparatively few of the twenty
one sections of the judiciary proposi-
tion went through unamended. In ad-
dition three new sections were ap-
pended. over a dozen amendments
were proposed to the section fixing the
salaries of the supreme and superior
court judges and the location of the
latter courts. AS finally adopted each
of the fourteen counties has a SUI
perior court.
The salary of the supreme court
Judges is reduced from $1,000 to $4,000
The salaries of the superior judges OF
Maricopa, Cochise, Pima and Vavapal
counties were fixed at $4,000 a year;
Gila, $4,000, and all others at $500.
An additional superior judge is pro-
vided for each additional $4,000 addition
to the population of any county, in
stead of 10000 as reported by the COM
mittee.
AT the morning session the conven-
tion decided to have the state pay all
superior judges instead of making the
county pay half but that action was
rescinded at the afternoon session and
county and state will each pay hall
as originally provided.
The consideration of the executive
department measure occupied over tive
hours tonight, the proposition of an
executive committee being accepted
with a few minor amendments. The
effort to have four-year terms for state
officers was defeated, two-year terms
prevailing, with a five years residence
prior to election being among the quail
ifications. The measure also limits
the pardoning power of the governor
and fixes the salaries of all state Off
GERS.
Much time was consumed at the
night session to secure a reduction in
the salaries of state officers, but only
two were cut, secretary of state ano
auditor being reduced from $3500 to
$4,000. The total annual payroll adopted
today was almost 100000.

DECLINE DOESN'T BENEFIT
LOS ANGELES HOUSEWIVES

Los Angeles housewives have not
benefited much from the decline in the
price of meat and other foodstuffs
reported from Chicago. Meat dealers
said yesterday that there probably
would be a reduction Of or 4 cents
pound in the price of pork in a
few days. Lard is now quoted at IS
cents, a reduction Of cents a pound.
There has been no change in the price
Of beef.
Thanksgiving turkey probably will
be higher than last year, when it
averaged 80 cents a pound. This year
the price is likely to average nearer
81 cents. The consolation offered is
that the 37-cent turkey will be a
home product and better than the
usual grade.

TAFT INFORMED CANAL
WILL OPEN DEC. |, 1915
President Expresses Amusement
at Work Accomplished on Big
Ditch Since 1909

PANAMA, Nov. 15.-The Panama
canal will be completed December 1,
1913.
This information was given to Presi-
dent Taft today while inspecting the
famous Gatun dam.
The official date of the opening re-
mains January l, 1915.
Lieutenant Colonel Goethals desires
one year in which to train the canal
tenders and to get the machinery
working smoothly.
Ships, meanwhile, will be granted
the privilege of the canal, but at their
own risk of delay
In addition, ii was announced by the
colonel, the report that President
Taft's visit was the forerunner of a
request for another 100000, 900 from
congress was unfounded.
The canal will be completed in 1913,
he said, within the $375,OOO,0O0 already
authorized.
The president was pleased at the
outlook for the early completion and
congratulated Colonel Goethals. He
expressed amazement at the work ac-
complished since his visit in Feb
ruary, 1909
Colonel Goethals explained that in
formal opening of the canal in 1918
necessitated immediate action on the
part Of congress relative to toll rates,
because eighteen months would be re-
quired by shipping interests to adjust
their rates to the new routing.
Colonel Goethals is not officially
promising that the canal will he COM
pleted in 1913, lest contractors delays
and supplies interfere, but is sanguine
of accomplishing the feat
This evening the president briefly
addressed the Americans engaged in
the canal work at a reception given
under the auspices of the Y. M. C. A.
and the Red Cross.
Tomorrow he will inspect Culebra
cut and in the evening will dine with
President Arosemena, this being the
occasion of a state function.

1000 WHITE SLAVERS
DRIVEN FROM CHICAGO

CHICAGO, Nov. 15.-That 1000 pan
ders have been driven out of Chicago,
besides many convicted, since the cru
sade against the white slave traffic
was inaugurated in the spring of 1909
is the estimate made by Clifford G.
Roe in a report made to the white
slavery traffic committee for the year
ended October l, 1910.
Through Mr. Roe the committee has
Investigated 34S cases, of which ninety
one resulted in prosecutions. OF the
persons prosecuted fifty-one were con-
vieted. Two additional convictions
have been obtained since October l.
Prosecutions and convictions, how
ever do not begin to measure the good
that thi- work has done, according to
NJ. Roe. He estimates that about
1000 engaged in the traffic left Chicago
to escape prosecution.

GOVERNMENT WINE SUIT
WILL INVOLVE MILLIONS
Courts to Decide Whether Pom
ace Should Be Taxed

CINCINNATI. Nov. ia suit in
volving millions of dollars in interna
revenue tax is being prepared by at
torneys of this city as the result OF
a conference held in Washington re-
Gently with United States Internal
Revenue Commissioner cable and Sher-
man r. Mcpherson, United States at
torney for the southern district OF
Ohio.
The matter at issue is whether what
is known to the liquor trade as pom
ace wine" is subject to the internal rev.
enue tax.
The "wine' is made by adding su-
gar and water to the Cheese" or ref
use, after the juice has been squeezed
out of grapes in the manufacture of

the fermented juice Of the grape is not
subject to tax but the fermented prod

BRITISH OFFICIALS RID
H0NGK0NG OF MALARIA
PesthoIe of the Orient Cleaned
Up by Colonial Deputies

WASHINGTON Nov. 15.-Hongkong
long known as malarial pesthole, is
being rid of the disease by the actIvi-
ties of the British colonial office.
During the last ten years there has
been a steady and substantial reduction
in the number of cases. The British
troops stationed in the colony appear
to be more affected with the disease
than civilians
The ratio of malarial cases admitted
to the military hospital last year was
So per 1000, against 115 per 1000 the pre-
Yious year.
The reduction of malaria has been
due to ridding the colony of mosquito
breeding places by making waterways
or bitches, the filling of stagnant pools
and the covering of standing water
with oil.

PARIS is THREATENED BY
STEADY RISE OF SEINE

PARIS, Nov. 15.-The river Seine
rose at the rate of half centimer an
hour today. The official statement
that the maximum flood would be
reached Thursday next has not re-
assured the riverside dwellers in this
city and in the suburbs, who see the
waters advancing slowly in the streets
bordering the stream and fear another
disaster.
The return of flood conditions has
convinced the government that the
raising of the parapets is but make
shift measure, and accordingly it will
push the big project of canal to
divert the waters in times of flood. The
building of this canal will be a problem
for years.

This is said tc cause them to "give
