RETAIL MERCHANTS ASSN.

This organization is operated as
National, State, and Local, the East
Jordan Association having been
formed about the beginning OF the
present year.
The purposes of the organization
as set forth In the Articles Of Asso-
cation, are: ITO safeguard the inter
ests and welfare Of its members, to
abate trade abuses. injurious aud nn-
business-like practices. and secure
the cooperation Of the retail mer-
chants against partial, t'iased and
discriminating prices, TO disseminate
trade information, encourage better
business methods, and TO advance In
every legitimate way, the welfare Of
our members.
While ali OF these purposes are OF
interest TO the merchants comprising
the membership OF the association,
there is feature which should be
fully understood by their customers,
especially by such as may be lax in
settlement Of accounts.
Article Of the bylaws reads as
follOws:-"E member OF the assoc
iation shall report monthly TO the
Association the names of delinquent
customers. These names TO be
placed in book kept for that pur-
pose aud open to members only."
A delinquent is one who does not
pay, or give satisfactory evidence OF
intention TO pay, when an account
is due.
Before any person Is listed as "de-
linquent" a notice is sent by the mer-
chant to the customer. This notice
gives the recipient certain time in
which TO call and adjust the claim.
Ii there is no response within the
time limit named. party Is reported
to the Secretary as delinquent.
The Secretary. about the close Of
each month. takes all the "delin-
quent lists handed in by the men,
bers and mails to each person named
therein an additional notice request
ing settlement by the 7th Of the fol-
lowing month. All who do not re-
spond by the Sth are listed ia books
for the purpose and delivered TO the
members Of the association respect
lively.
1t will thus be seen that before a
name is listed az delinquent, two
distinct official notices are sent, both
Of which have been ignored.
The object is simply to protect
merchants from being victimized by
INSCRIPTIONS persons who run bills
with no intent TO pay, depending on
their ability TO go from merchant to
merchant and from village To city u
escape payment. There is no desire
on the part of the association to work
hardship or TO cast reflection upon
the credit of any we'll meaning GUS
toner. and inability TO pay does not
| subject any one To modification nr
inconvenience unless accompanied hy
! indifference. or refusal to settle the
claims of the individual members OF
the association.

M GEE RETAINS H|S OFFICE IN
 FINAL COUNTY
Custer Proceedings Are Dropped Upon Motion of County Attorney and Sheriff Remains Without Being Reelected
ASSOCIATED PRESS DIsPArcHI

FLORENCE. Ariz. Dec. 2O.-The case of the state of Arizona against James E. McGee. sheriff of this county, an action to oust the sheriff from office, came up in superior court today before Judge Sutter of Cochise county.
 County Attorney J. E. Bogard ap- peared for the state and Judge Camp bell of Tucson, otis J. Baughn and Steven S. Abbey, for sheriff McGee. Soon after the case was called il was dismissed on the motion of County At torney Bogard.
 About two months ago the board of supervisors of this county declared the office of sheriff vacant under an act of the legislature empowering boards of supervisors to create such vacancies when persons elected to office, for any reaon failed to qualify. This law was intended to meet peculiar condition here. Sheriff McGee who was first eelcted in 1906 and reelected in 1908 was defeated at the election of De- cember last by Charles Foreman. Fore man died previous to the admission of the state when he would have quali- fled
 Having declared the office vacant the board appointed F. J. Mccarthy, a member of the board to succeed him Sheriff McGee declined to recognize the action of the board and continued to discharge the duties of his office though since that order, the board had withheld his salary.
 The custer proceedings were begun not long after the issuance of the ord CT. It was expected that the contro- vrsy would be carried to the supreme court but the matter is ended now by the motion of dismissal by the county attorney

RESTRICTIONS . IN SEALS MUST
 BE MODIFIED
Herd Has Almost Doubled Under One Year Suspen- sion of Killing and Steps Must Be Taken tc Pre- vent Deterioration
ASSOCIATED PRESS DISPATCH

WASHINGTON. Dec 2O.-Unless the agreement reached with Japan and Great Britain for the protection of the seal herds or the North Pa cific is to fail of realization and the seal treaty, perhaps itself be lost, it will be necessary for congress during the present session to amend the seal act so as to remove the five year re- striction upon the killing of male seals on the Pribylof Islands
 This view of the administration is based on several urgent communica- tions to the United States, the latest of which was received today from Japan. This communication pointed out that the existing legislation amounts to practically a repudiation of that part of the treaty which guaranteed to Japanese and the Bri- tish governments a fair return from the seals which might safely be killed on the American seal island. in lieu of those taken by the Pelagic sealers
 The seal herd has almost doubled in number under the one year sus- pension of killing and it is the opin- ion of the state department experts, that so far from this being necessary to prevent the further taking of a due proportion of skins, some thin ming out of the males in the herds is absolutely necessary to prevent de- terioration. Therefore it is expected that the president mill make another effort to induce congress to amend the existing seal act to insure fair treatment to the Japanese and Bri- tish.

WERE UNAWARE OF DyNAM|T|NC
Denial is Made That De fendants ill Trial at In dianapolis Knew McNa- maras Were Guilty Until They Made Confessions
ASSOCIATED PRESS D1sPATcnl

INDIANAPOLIS, Dec. 2O-Denial that aid in raising funds for the Me Namara brothers by the labor union officials now on trial should be taken as an indication they had guilty
 knowledge of a dynamite conspir- acy'' on the part of the defendant was made today by attorneys for the defense in their arguments before the federal jury.
 "It has been repeatedly charged by
 the government that these defendants showed implication in the dynamite
 plots because of their efforts to help
 the McNamaras while the McNa-
 maras were locked up in the Los
 Angeles jail and before they pleaded
 guilty" said NJ. C. Trifft of Mime apOlis, continuing his arguments for the defense.
 Having every confidence that John J. McNamara, d brother union official was innocent, it was the duty of these defendants to help him. The very enormity of the crime at Los Angeles, and the very boldness and extent to which the explosions had been carried on for years, made Ii unthinkable that the secretary of the Iron Workers International union had committed them or caused them tC | be committed. Had the defendants raised defense fund after the Me Namaras had pleaded guilty, ther they would be subject to criticism and not otherwise.
 | John J. was the brains of the plots, and these men, scattered ovel | the country were not closely enougf associated with him to become ac- quainted with his criminal acts. De 1 lending Charles NJ. Baum of Minne- apolis and Fred F. Mooney of Du-
 luth, whom he especially represented
 Trifft said they had no knowledge
 of 5000 a month being used by Me
 Namara for dynamiting expenses.
