be invited to discuss the subject fror:
the. standpoint of their countries, par
t!culariy with reference to the OK
change of commerce and the extension
OF the market for their products in the
United States. The practical side OF
the meeting is further shown in the
fact that the best expert and import
trade experts, both official and pri-
vate, aside from diplomatic and con-
sular officers, will give talks on those
particular subjects which manufac-
turers, exporters and importers not yet
familiar with the field wish to hear
discussed. such as Credits" TRADE
Marks" Tariff Regulations Bank

ing" Catalogues, Freight Rates"

a commendable and encouraging
feature of this conference is the fact
.ra. I Will be absolutely nonp partisan
and non political. It will be devoted
solely to educating and informing
those present about. the conditions
and opportunities of an-Amcrican
commerce., so that they may return to
their respective cities, companies and
institutions, and become centers of
knowledge and information, to develop
new and practical interests. Hereto
fore most of the discussions have neen
about the wo lderfpl good which will
come from the Canal without any con-
sidcraticn rs to what is to be done now
to secure that good. 1t is to be hoped
that this conference will impress the
leaders of every American republic
with the exact meaning Of the Panama
Canal to the United States and her
sister nations.

In Mandamus Suit Brought
in Supreme Court by Dis
trict' Attorney McAlister

The mandamus suit brought by
District Attorney McAlister against

creating Greenlee county. and that
said act was subsequently amended
bv the same legislature.
Section admits that the board
of supervisors Of Graham county
and the 80, called board of supervis-
ors of the so-called Greenlee county,
met and made duplicate statements
of the assessed valuation of the
county of Graham and of the So
called county of Greenlee.
Section admits that in counties
of the second CLASS, probate judges
are school superintendents.
Section 5 admits that on January
81, 1911, the supervisors of Graham
county passed so-called order pur-
porting to declare the county second
class.
Section 6 admits that the probate
judge made demand upon the school
superintendent for the office and all
of its fixtures, which demand was
not complied with.

county came into existence on the
first day of August, or at all.
Section s denies that Graham

ond class county.

assessed valuation of only $2,770,-
$3.50, or any other sum, other than
So, ,532, 971.26.
Section 10 alleges that Mr.. Woods
was duly elected school superintend-
ent in 1908, entered upon his duties
as such superintendent on January
/, 1909. and has continued in such
Office lawfully ever since and is still
in possession of such office, and has
discharged the duties of said office
at all times up to the present.
Section IL recites that congress
passed an act enabling Arizona to
adopt a constitution by which it
would become a State; that
said act of congress directed the
school superintendent to conti-
nue. to discharge the duties of
his office until the next general cleo
tion; that the said act of congress
suspended the organization of the
county of Greenlee, and the election
