HOT CONTEST IS
 LAUNCHED IN GEORGIA

ATLANTA, Ga, Oct. 26. - What promises to be one of the hottest fights for the governorship that Georgia has seen in years was form ally launched here today when the State Democratic executive committee met to fix the date and make other arrangements for the state primaries to choose the successor of Governor Hoke Smith, who resigns next month to assume his duties as United States senator. It is generally expected that the committee vii select the second week of December as the time for holding the primaries. ..
 There are three leading candidates in the race for the governorship. They are former Governor Joseph H. Brown, former State Treasurer J. Pope Brown and Richard B. Russell, judge of the court of appeals. This is Joseph H. Brown s third race for governor. He defeated Hoke Smith for a second term in 1908, and in 1910 was de- feated for a second term by Smith. His entry into the present contest has aroused the fighting blood of the Smith adherents who look on his can didaey as part of a plan of former Governor Terrell and the old machine to gain control of the Georgia demo cracy and defeat Smith when he goes before the people for reelection as United States senator.
 The prohibition issue is expected to figure prominently in the campaign. Judge Russell is to make the race on a local option platform, while J. Pope Brown is a supporter of the present statewide prohibition law. Former Governor Brown straddles the prohibit tion question.

CATTLE RECEIPTS
 LARGEST OF LAST YEAR

KANSAS CITY, Oct. 23,-Eighty-
 five thousand cattle arrived here last
 week, including ten thousand calves,
 making the weeks business at the
 stock yards the largest of the year. The market ruled steady to firm the
 first half of the week, but eased off a little after that, closing with a
 slight loss on most of the cattle, na-
 tive cows 10 to 20 lower at the fin ish, calves 25 lower. The steers sell ing between $6 and S7 never lost an undereurrent of strength, packers seeming to need that kind. Country
 buyers cleaned up the supply of stuff suitable to take out, and left few cattle in the pens at the close of the week. More cattle are going direct into feed lots than heretofore. There is also less expectation of lower prices on country kinds, and those who want cattle are more willing buyers. Cattle receipts here today are 30,000 head, estimated, though the final count will show more than that number. Kansas pasture cattle are prominent in the arrivals. The market today is steady to 10 lower, more sales around steady than otherwise. Western cows today at s3.9O brought $4 last Mon day. Forty loads Old Mexieos are here today, steers around $4, cows $3.5O. Panhandle stoekers of high breeding sold today at $5 to s5.25, medium range stoekers s3.S5 to SAYS, panhandle cows $50 to s4.3O, Colo rado beef steers $40 to $5.5O, cows $375 to s4.sO. Quarantine receipts are smaller today, market in line with natives, steers at $3.SO to s. Prime native steers are scarce, no toppy cattle here today, though $50 would probably be paid for them. Good to choice fed steers bring SIPS to $s.25, native grass steers $5 to $7.35, bulls $3.25 to $425, calves s4.5O to s7.5O.
 Another big run of sheep came in last week, but prices held up about steady. A smaller percentage of the receipts are suitable for killers than formerly, and more are wanted for the country, conditions which are fav- orable to prices. The supply today is 27,OOO head, almost record receipts for this market, prices steady to strong, top lambs s5.75. Feeding lambs sell at $40 to $4.7O, fat weth- CTS $40 to $3.7O, ewes s2,9O to $40, feeding and stock ewes s2.25 to $3.sO.

Special to the JOurnal-Miner).
 PHOENIX, Ariz., Oct. 26.-As the result of several months challenging and correspondence E. J. Leavengood of Pomona, Cal, and Dr. Sinard of Denver, Colo, today met in Phoenix and signed articles of agreement for a chariot race in this city at the fair grounds during the Territorial fair which is to be held the second week in November. The fair commission added to a large side bet by offering a purse of 5000 to the winner. Leavengood was the winner of a chariot race at Pasadena in the last tournament of races. Both are owners of several exceptionally fast running horses that are driven to chariots in a race and record-breaking contest is anticipated. The race will be run in three heats of mile and a half each, one heat day till the race is com pleted
 A telegram was received at the fair office this morning that Ed. Geers and his stable of horses, in- cluding the worlds champion, The Harvester, and Anvil, winner of the NJ. and M stakes at Detroit, and Ess P. Kay, winner of the free-for-all trot at Lexington, last week with others, are en route to the Arizona Fair grounds track.
 Bud Doble with a fine string ar rived this morning and ten runners from Colorado points reached the track this afternoon.
 Sixteen cars have entered in the Los Angeles-Phoenix auto road race which finishes in front of the grand stand at the fair grounds the first day of the fair.
 The present indications are that the largest crowd ever in Phoenix will be on hand when the fair opens. Ac- commodations are plentiful on account of the completion of the new hotel.

 Gen. Brush, now at Fort Apache, will arrive in Prescott some time next week and during his visit, Col. Tillson will be offered the use of automobiles and such other enter tainment for his fellow-officer as may be desired.
 Secretary Fraser outlined advant- ages aceruing from the recent Yava- pal county exhibit at the Information al Dry Farm congress at Colorado Springs. He showed twenty gold and silver awards and four white ribbons as third prizes, also a register of two thousand names, many of which will undoubtedly result in tangible bene- fits to this county. The demand for fruit lands which will produce peaches apples and pears such as he and Prof. McOmie exhibited, was so great that it was impossible to secure one-fifth of the names and addresses offered. Recourse was had to the literature shipped, of which over 5000 pieces were distributed to serious inquirers Fraser stated that several land ex- perts from Texas and Oklahoma were in correspondence with him as a re- suit of this visit and that represent atives would be here within a few lays to look over the magnificent off Lonesome and Big Chino valleys with a view to heir develop ment along horticultural lines.
 The meeting was quite the most in the history of the Chamber.

While the diplomats of Europe are
 trying to maintain the peace of the
 world undaunted by the outbreak of
 hostilities between Turkey and Italy. the daneing-masters, in eonelave here
 have been deciding what is to be
 danced this season. Important de- eisions were arrived at. The profes- sors were unanimously of the opinion that the dance of the ball room is tending more and more towards sim pieity, and is now more a rythmie stroll than a dance. Formerly, they say, the dancers of the drawing room vied with those of the theater in "gavOttes" and "sarabandes." Af- forwards came the more difficult kind of eontredanee, but still a step in the direction of simplicity. Then the waltz, and, these later years, the Boston and the Double Boston. At the present time the Argentine dances appear to be most in favor, both with dancers and teachers. As NJ. LepOrt, president of the Academy of Dancing says, these dances are the most appropriate for the ball room.
 The three dances which are ex- peeted to be the most popular t. s winter are: the Modern Mazurka, Louis XV. Waltz Minuet and the Argentine Five-Step.

OF STEEL
 TRUST NOW IN SIGHT

TRENTON, N. J., Oct. 26.-Peti-
 tions were filed in the Federal Cir
 cut court today by the government,
 asking for the dissolution of the
 United States Steel corporation and its subsidiaries. The order was sign ed by Judge Lanning for the issuance 1 of subpoenaes to appear as witnesses to J. D. Rockefeller, ST., J. D. Roeke- feller, Jr, J. P. Morgan, c. NJ. Schwab, Judge Gary, John E. Parson and others. The petitions were pre- pared by former Secretary of War J. M. Dickinson, who has been working on the case the last two months.
 Dickinson, who is at Nashville, Tenn, said today that one suit was for the dissolution of the steel com bine and it's subsidiaries on the grounds that they are a monopoly The petition also asks for the can cellation of the Hill ore leases and separation from the Tennessee Coal and Iron company.
 The officials of the department of justice issued a statement stating that a petition in equity asks for an injunction restraining the corporation from continuing an unlawful restraint of trade and its dissolution. Dickin- son has been engaged by the depart ment to represent the federal gov ernment in the hearing of the case.
 A federal deputy left New York late this afternoon with subpoenaes for the Roekefellers, Morgan, Sehwab and Gary.
 The suit against the United States Steel corporation is the most sweep ing action ever brought by the gov ernment. The petition, speaking of the absorption of the Tennessee Coal and Iron company, says that Gary and Prick deceived Roosevelt as to the real state of affairs and the de- sire to stop the panic of 1907 was not the sole moving cause but there was also a desire to control the company which assumed the position of poten- tial competition. The department of justice officials admit that they knew the corporation directors would today cancel the. Hill ore leases but desire the cancellation under the terms of l contract that would not become eff fective until 1915 and there is no limit to the amount of ore that could be taken out in the meantime.

 NEW YORK, Oct. 26.-At a meet ing today of the board of directors of the United States Steel corporation, voted to cancel the contract with James J. Hill for the lease of the atters ore property.
