CONFERENCE AT HAGUE TO
 SUPPRESS OPIUM TRADE.
United Effort To Be Made By Leading Powers to Control Traffic By In-
 ternatiOnaI Law.

A telegram sent out from The Hague this week announces the fact that Great Britain, thd United States, France, Germany, Italy, Russia, Por- tugal, the Netherlands, Persia, Ja pan, China and Siam have named delegates to the international confer ence there next month to discuss plans for supp ressing the opium traf- fife. At the suggestion of Great Bri- tain a proposal will be made to in elude morphine and cocaine with opium in the prohibition to be en forced.
 It is desired to place the traffic in these drugs under the control of in- ternational law. The conference wilt seek to have the delegates reeom- mend to their own governments measures for the suppression of the production and use of opium, nor phine and cocaine, except under phy sic aps' prescriptions; the prevention Of the shipment of the drug> to other countries; the control of their sale and use; the closing of opium resorts and the extension of foreign conces- sions ie China of the pharmacy laws of the various countries.
 There is a disposition amorg the better class of Chinamen in this coun- try to discourage the traffic in opium. That Chinamen addicted to the habit are also making an effort in their own behalf, is the testimony of local Chi nnmen. Following the raid made by Customs Inspector Creighton in CT f ton last week the following commun- icatiOn has been received at this office for publication:
 Clifton. April l2, 1911. We wish to thank the United States Customs Inspector, Mir. H. s. Creigh- ton who came 10 Clifton to clean up those old opium pipes and the Yen Shetoo (ashes
 According to report the Chinese government is also stopping the plum traffic in China. But of course some old men or those who are sick will continue to use it for their health. Now our Chinese in America are heartily in favor of giving it up. We are sorry about MT. Johnny Garnett and hope he will soon be well and at his work as deputy sheriff again

HUNG JURY RESULTS
 IN THE CLARK TRIAL
Case Against Ex.TreaSurer of Ora ham County Lasted Four Days Jury Finally Discharged
 Friday Afternoon.

The Jury in the case of the Terri tory of Arizona vs. Ben R. Clark, ex treasurer of Graham county charged with embezzl rment, which has been on trial at SOlomonville this week, after having Leen out for twenty -fonr hours and being unable to reach a f verdict, was discharged on Friday af ternoon. It is understood that the verdict stood for conviction and 4 for acquitial.
 The case was vigorously fought on both si les. The pros osecution was con iucted by District Attorney McAlister and w. C. Mcfarland. Ex.- Gov. Jas Kibbey, w R. Chambers and Lee ration looked after the interests of the defendant. A large number of witnesses and a mass of documentary evidence was introduced
 A jury was secured to try the case at four o'clock on Monday afternoon. The particular item upon which ClBrk was placed on trial was the payment of the Morenci Water company's tax amounting to S527 10 showing the re- ceipt and deposit in the Gila Valley Bank & Trust Co. of Morenci to the credit of Clark. The records of the Board Of Supervi sors were introduced to show that the treasurer accounted for S77. 10. His cash book showed that he received the amount at Sol OmOnville and credited his cash ac count. The defense was that the amount was received and the ap- parent discrepancy was expended for county purposes
 The jury selected to try the case was composed of B. E. Adams, Elbers Hotch, Ira Smith, R. A. Bryce. T. S. Wilson, w. K Holyoke, R. H Sam uel, Stephen Bryar, w. A. Wilson, w K Daily. L. Wightman aud L. R Pace.
 rheJury was out practically twenty four hours According to a report received by the COPPER ERA, on the first ballots taken the jury was even ly divided for conviction and acquit- tai. The last ballot taken Friday afternoon was eight for, conviction and four for aciuittal.
 W heu the jury came into court and announced they were unable to reach a verdict they were discharged. Dis trict attorney McAlister asked that the defendant be held for trIal at the next term of court which convenes in SOlomonville in October.
 Ben R Clark has been a resident of Graham county for many years and for long time resided in Clifton. He was at one time sheriff of Graham county and has held many positions of trust to his credit. He always took lively interest in politics. Clark was indicted at the last term of court and was released on bond He has steadily maintained his innocence since the charges were brought against him and the concensus of opinion of those witnesses who at tended the trial from Clifton is that the charges were not supported by the evidence introduced before the ury.
