COMMISSION
ROW STARTED
Chairman w. p. Geary Introduces
Resolutions Against Colleague.
Alleges That F. A. Jones Accepted
$4,000 as Retaining Fee.

PHOENIX, May 25.-Two reso1u-
tions aimed directly at Corporation
Commissioner F. A. Jones were intro
duced at the last executive session of
the commission. One was introduced
by Chairman w. P. Geary, the other
by Commissioner A. w. Cole.
The Geary resolution grew out of
Commissioner Jones' action in accept
ing a retaining fee of $500 from the
Sid Mauk company and other Globe
and Miami firms in reparation and
rate case now before the interstate
commerce commission. In this case
Jones represents the complainants as
their attorney; his name is signed to
the complaint and was fled at Wash
Fington. 1t is said that his retaining
! fee, which he accepted last Septem-
Der, was $500.
Geary's resolution follows.
1T is resolved, that the Arizona cor
poration commission holds itself will
ing and ready at all times to aid and
assist any receiver or shipper of
freight, residing in the state of Ari-
Zona, complaining of 'lterctate rates
made, charged or collected by any
common carrier, to complain to the in
terstate commerce comm ission by in
tervention, petition or otherwise, rela-
tive to the unreasonaOleness of the
rate III question, ana also seek .Fepd-
ration where the same may be due,
demanded, just and reasonable.
THAT this commission holds itself
in no way responsible for the action
of any member thereof asking or re-
ceiving and remuneration from any
shipper or receiver of freight in the
state of Arizona, conn aiming of IN
just and unreasonable inters tate rates
maintained by any CC"'7non carrier,
jor seeking reparation witt r9ference
4thereto.'
AS a substitute Commissioner Jones
offered the following:
I In the event any complGi1ant be-
fore the interstate commerce commits
sion declines to accept +he services of,
or fails to ask the ir+ervention or aid
of the state commission, the action of
any member of this commission or
other person in appearing on behalf
of said complainant IN no manner
binds or involves the commission
On this substitute, Geary and Cole
voted no, Jones aye. Chairman Geary,
however, asked the record to show
that he would vote for the substitute
if the following be added:
But the commission does not ap-
prove of any member thereof accept

STEWART PAYS THE
PENALTY FOR
MURDER
Second Man Dies Today at Globe for
Part He Took in Sordid White
Mountain Tragedy Nearly Five
Years Ago.
4fI CANNOT PRAY
I'm NOT SINCERE.
Says Condemned Man When Offered
Divine Services-Alernates Between
CaImness and Display of Cold
Nerve.

GLOBE, May 29.-"Only the priest
and Jesus Christ can do me any
good now," said William Stewart, sen
fenced to die here tomorrow morning
At the same time he ordered priest
sent to his cell An hour later he
called Marshal Joseph Dillon and said,
Don't send the priest, I can't do it.
He would want me to pray and
cant get down on my kness with a
clear conscience. wouldn't be sin
scere. -
The priest was not to be had,
however, even if the man had not
changed his mind, as the nearest
was at Phoenix, an eight hour ride.
Stewart has just been denied a re-
prieve by President Wilson at the
request of Attorney Benton Dick, of
Phoenix.
He sent Attorney Flanagan after
the May number of magazine to
finish continued story. He is less
defiant than formerly, is quiet and
nervous, but his grit is still evident.
Stewart dies tomorrow on the
escaffold which was used to
send his partner in the crime into
the next world When Chief Deputy
Unied States Marshal Don Willitts
of Phoenix, springs the trap tomorrow
he will have concluded the tragedy
that has been noticed in every court
in federal jurisdiction over Arizona
from the old territorial district court
up to the circuit court of appeals.
Like his partner Goodwin, Stewart
faces death with entire calmness and
almost without emotion. He has
known since the case failed to get
into the supreme court, that he was
doomed. IN spite of every effort, he
must now pay the penalty for that
seemingly useless murder of the two
campers at the lonely Tuttle station
near Fort Apache five years ago.
The history of the case is an in
teresting one. First convicted in the
territorial court with his partner
Goodwin, Stewart was sentenced to
life Imprisonment. 1t was later dis
covered that the murder had taken
place on an Indian reservation, and
that the court-in its final sitting,
had no Jurisdiction. So, under a
severance, the two men were tried
again in the same court sitting as a
federal tribunal. This time another
conviction was secured, but the SEN
tence was also life Imprisonment, and
was not inflicted for the murder of
Kibbe, but for Hillpot, his fellow
camper.
After spending six months in At
ilanta, Stewart was taken to Phoenix.
At the April session in 1913, with
Judge William w. Morrow sitting,
Stewart was for the third time con-
victed, and this time sentenced to
hang. Benton Dick of Phoenix de-
Tended the case, and brought every
pressure to bear to secure a retrial.
His grounds were former jeopardy,
and the fact that the prosecution
had neglected to supply him with a
witness list two days prior to the
opening of the case. The case went
up to the circuit court of appeals at
San Francisco, where the judgment
was not reversed.

Ambiguous Law Which Has Made for
Much Confusion, Still Contains Its
Puzzles; Legal Complications as to
Contracts.

PHOENIX, May 26.-There seems
to be some confusion still regarding
the status of the members of the
boards of Supervisors as regards the
coming election, but be that as it
may, the attorney generals office
gave out an opinion on the matter
February "a of this year. In brief,
Assistant Attorney General Leslie G.
Hardy, who gave the opinion says
after quoting the law on the subject:
1T will be observed that the redis-
tricting of the various counties of the
State into supervisorial districts by
the board of supervisors shall be
made on the first Monday in Septem-
Der next preceding the general cleo
tion for State and county officers.
The first Monday in September pre-
ceding the next general election falls
on the 7th day of that month. Under
the provisions of the primary law, the
primary for the next general election
will be held on the Sth Tuesday
prior to the next general election,
which falls on the 3rd day of Novem-
Der. The next primary election,
therefore, will fall on the Sth day of
September. 1t, therefore, appears
that the next primary election will be
held one day after the date pre-
scribed for the redistricting of the
various counties of the State into
supervisorial districts. 1t is obvious,
therefore, that the boards of super
visors of the various counties of the
State can not divide the counties into
supervisorial districts before the time
prescribed by law for the filling of
papers by candidates for
boards of supervisors, in view of the
fact that Section of the primary
law prescribes that persons desiring
to become a candidate at a primary
election shall file his nomination pc
tition not less than twenty nor more
than sixty Days before the primary
election. In view of this fact it is
the opinion of this department that
candidates for supervisors in the va
rious counties of the State will not
be effected by Chapter 81, supra, but
they should be nominated and elected
from the county at large, as had
heretofore been the custom, rather |
han from supervisoral districts"
And in conclusion, he says this |
opinion should not be construed to |
prohibit the boards of supervisors of |
he various counties of the State from
their counties into su-
)ervisoral districts, but, on the con-
rary, we hold that such districts
should be made at the time pre-
'cribed by law. We only advise you
hat because of the inconsistency of
he law and the dates for filing nomi-
lation papers, candidates for supervi-
ors can not be nominated and elected
rom supervisoral districts at the
Iext primary and general election. "
From the foregoing it is the opinion
# many that there arises a chance
or several suits in the shape of in
unctions and the further question
hat if the new supervisors are to
re elected under the old law that it
aust naturally follow that only two
upervisors will be elected and the
old-over man remain on the board
or another two years, such being
he old law.

a profound impression upon the
mind Of Mrs. Badleigh who was lv-
ing in constant dread of like Wis
itation to their own home, that, as
already stated she readily acquiesced
when her husband decided to migrate
once more and settle in the west. No
open rupture occurred, however, and
their relations continued undisturb-
ed
Nevertheless it had become an
open secret that Am Badleigh must
leave the country, the people had
made up their minds to hasten, if
necessary, his departure from among
them. Fortunately for Mr. Bad eigh,
young man whose home was some
distance away was to be married in
the early spring and hearing of the
Badleigh's expected removal rode
over to that gentleman home one
day and made him fair offer for
the place which, after much hagglins
and chatting was finally accepted.

THE TOWN hNOCKEI,.
Clear Lake Man Likens Him Unto a
"One-Lun." Automobile.

Charles F. Crane, former president
of the Clear Lake Commercial club
and for years a vice president in the
state association, relieved himself of
the following anent the "knocker.
These chronic kickers, the kind
that lack the ability to do anything
themselves and ascribe an Interior
and selfish motive for every public
enterprise remind me of the old style
"one-luhs axautomobile. You can
hear their exhaust afar Off they
are always making loud noise, but
never get anywhere and do not make
progress themselves, but keep the
main Travelled path where others
who do want to get somewhere have
to turn out, and go around. About
ever so often they backfre with a
loud report that always relieves
their pentup energy for the time be-
ing. They easily short circuit, for
every time they put their hands in
JnS1T POCKET anu lOuCH their pOtheI-
book their enthusiasm oozes out.
Their radiator steams a little all the
time and any enterprise that seems
liable to cause raise in taxes, no
matter how slight, causes it to boil
over. Their carburetor is never
working right due to the mixture
which is mostly hot air and not
enough of the real source of power.
They have a blowout on the street
corner about once day. Their clutch
is always slipping for no matter how
much energy is expected they never
so forward. About the only mechan-
ism that is always working is the re-
verse. Their backward movements
are something wonderful, and you
will do well to avoid being in the
rear. The exhaust well is indescrib-
able, and in neighborhoods thickly
populated with this brand of citizen
ship pOlcats have been known to
commit suicide for very envy"

PuhLic Men and Social Functions.


If the managers of a charity ball,
chamber of commerce, or church fair
can get a president, a governor, or
other high public official to attend
one of their functions, its success is
assured 1t is the cheapest form of
advertising, provided one has the
pull to put it over" Every pub
lie man is overwhelmed by these in
vitations.
President Wilson has shut down
The lid pretty close on this kind of
thing. He opened up to some extent
however in the matter of making
long distance speeches to such gath
erings over the telephone. Now he
is flooded with requests for this ia
vor, which he has had to announce
he must refuse.
| Governors and congressman yield
too willingly to these impositions.
1t is to them one means of feeling
the pulse of the people. They like
it to an extent to break over their
isolation from daily life.
| No doubt it Helps in a superficial
way When a governor or congress
man attends a dance, shakes hands
with all corners, exchanges witticisms
with local celebrities, hands out com
pliments on the locality, he gains a
reputation for being democratic,
though inside he is horribly bored.
But as for getting closer to the
life of the people, he fails. Only
the glossy surface of life is touched
in these functions. To get close tC
what the people feel, he needs tc
have his secretary Gull every signifi-
cant expression of opinion from the
newspapers, and talk things over
with close observers of human drift
The train travel, the upsetting oil
regular hours, uncertainty of hote
Accommodations, make these jaunts &
severe physical strain. Even the lit
tie speech over the telephone is 6
burden, if a public man is not to say
something that will sound fiat anC
crude in the newspapers next day.
