Attorney ]. Ralph Tascher-"I

Attorney L. J. Mitchell-"Ditto."
This one statement and two puz-

Mr.. Clark when questioned re-
garding the report emanating from
Phoenix that he would be asked
to run for governor on a Progress

The refusal of former Governor
John Kibbey to accept the nomi-
nation on the third party ticket
makes it case OF playing bean

logical candidate for the important
office. Mr.. Clark, it is generally
understood, would prove a welcome
candidate if he agreed to accept
the nomination.

SUES IRRIGATION COM
PANY FOR WAGES
CFrom SATURDAYS Daiiv.l

The first development Following
the suspension of work on the irri-
CATION project here, came yester-
day with the filing OF a suit for
the collection of delinquent wages
by F. w P. Walker against the
Arizona Land and Irrigation Com
pany. Walker alleges in his COM
plant that the defendant corpora
ton is indebted to him in the sum
of $7119O for professional services
as chief engineer during the years
1912 and 1918.
After months of booming and ex-
plotting OF the splendid results to
follow the Inauguration of the 30
goo acre reclamation project, the
startling report was submitted about
a month ago that work upon the
dam had been indefinitely suspen-
ded. Conjecture was rife regarding
the cause but an authentic report
has it that lack of funds was direct
ly responsible. The engineer and
other local officials OF the company
are still in Prescott, however.

Mr.. Clark pointed out that he was

that he had not had sufficient time

THE GAP INTO
THE VERDE VALLEY
From Saturdays Daily


Before leaving for the capital
Thursday afternoon State Engineer
Lamar Cobb made announcement
that contract would be let inside
of the next month for completing
that section OF the Cherry Creek
Hill cutoff into the Verde valley.
estimated to be three and one-half
miles long.
The sum OF about $4,000 of the
public road funds is available for
this work, which will exhaust the
allotment to Yavapai county for
the year. When this link is added
to that already built the Verde val
ley will enjoy one of the best high
ways in the county so far as an
outlet is to be considered. In Sc
lecting this particular strip to build
on. Engineer Cobb, created quite a
ripple OF interest by saying:
1t is to be regretted that there
is not available funds necessary to
complete the north and south high
ways through the State, with one
concerted movement. As the road
ways stan today there is strip on
Cherry Creek Hill, beyond the Yer
de out OF Beaver, there is another
unit OF about seven miles, Pres
colt has about sixteen miles to the
south, while in the Bradshaws at
Silver Mountain nearly two miles
are ready on the popular route
south. Between all are uncomplet-
ed gaps, piece meal propositions in
short. and rejecting a system OF
uncalled for outlay OF the peoples
money One reason why I favor
the road bond issue is this: Let
there be funds sufficient by which
each and every county in the State
will experience immediate and de-
cisive action toward road building
as desired. Under the present sys-
tenn OF securing funds, it will take
generation for any appreciable
benefits to accrue to any commune
| ty.'
Sectional chickering's are intensi-
fed under the present financial
method of obtaining limited resour-
ces to patch up this and build that
strip in which is reflected in the
main artery OF the State being a:
long way off toward realization as
when the work was started over
three years ago. Build at one stroke
from Phoenix to Prescott, from
Prescott to Flagstaff, and from
Flagstaff to the brink of the Grand
Canyon. The same rule will APP
ply to Douglas, Bisbee, Tucson
Globe and the rest of the populous
communities. In short. build north
and south, and leave the east and
west routes alone. When the back
bone of the State is penetrated, the
ribs will grow on later, as Col
onel Sellars, the brilliant New Mex
lean stated before the road con
vention in Prescott during last
week"

LIVESTOCK MEN BENE-
FITTED BY NEW RULING
(From Fridays Daily

(From Fridays Daily
WASHINGTON. July o-New
regulations governing the interstate
movement of livestock became ef-
fective July l, 1914. These changes
were designed by the department
Of Agriculture to facilitate the
movement Of livestock from quar-
antine areas or from public stock
yards. The new regulations, which
are known as B. a. l. (Bureau of
Animal Industry Order 30, super
seding B. A. l. Order 143, deal with
the shipment OF cattle from tick in
fected areas, with the movement Of
swine from public stockyards> and
with the dipping of cattle and sheep
for scabies.
Hereafter cattle that have been
dipped once under State or Federal
supervision may be shipped from
an area quarantined for ticks to 4
market where there are proper dip
ping facilities and the Department
OF Agriculture maintains an inspec-
tor. After a second dipping there
under his supervision the cattle may
4 be sold Tor any purpose. Hitherto
it has been necessary in times OF
drought for cattle owners in quar-
antined areas to slaughter their
stock or sell it for Strengthening for
whatever it would bring. The re-
sulting loss will, it is hoped, be
done away with under the new reg
ulation.
The provision permitting. under
certain strict conditions the trans
portation of hogs from public stock
yards into interstate commerce has
been made possible by the diseov-
cry by government scientists of a
serum which renders swine immune
to hog cholera. Hitherto all stock
yards have been considered as in
fected with this disease. Now. how
ever, it is considered safe to permit
the shipment of hogs which have
; been treated with the serum and
which show symptoms of suffering
/; from any form of disease. As
result of this it is expected that
/ thousands OF lightweight hogs will
be sent from the stockyards to the
country for feeding and fattening
and that the country's total pro-
duction OF pork will be greatly in
{ creased thereby.
The new regulations also with
draw all permission for the use OF

and cresol preparations in the Of

= decided to insist upon a field test

LAWYERS ARE ACQUITTED
WHEN HARDY ARRIVES
(From Fridays Dailvl

With the arrested attorneys re-
leased and at the same time con-
tending that they have not budged
an inch in their attitude. with State
Examiner Plunkett granted permits
sion to investigate the documents
he seeks in the possession OF the
County Road Superintendent, D. NJ.
Clark. and with Assistant Attorney
General Leslie Hardy acquiescing in
the decision that the attorneys could
not be held upon the charge of
aiding and abetting a felony, the
most interesting incident in the Clark
graft investigation yesterday after
noon came to an all-around salts
factory and yet peculiar close. From
the position assumed by the defense
attorneys in the graft case who
were served with the warrants, the
entire proceeding was more OF less
OF the farcical order On the other
hand. Mr.. Plunkett has gained ac-
cess to the records he desires. While
it is generally understood that di-
plomacy was employed in some di-
rection, still no one is in a position
to specify exactly where the diplo-
mats work comes in.
Assistant Attorney General Hardy
arrived here on yesterday mornings
train from Flagstaff and appeared
at o'clock in time for the arraign-
ment. The four attorneys charged
with aiding and abetting felony,
Messrs. E. S. Clark. J. Ralph Tas-
cher, Leroy Anderson and Richard
Lamson were present together with
Superintendent D. NJ. Clark. Speci-
ically the first four named were
charged with advising Clark not to
surrender public documents in his
possession when these were demand
ed by the State Examiner. In re
turning the subpoena, the defendant
declared that he could not deliver
the documents upon the grounds
that he might incriminate himself
Owing to the lack of time allowed
him in which to acquaint himself
with the details Of the case. Attor-
ney Hardy requested an adjourn
ment until l o'clock in the after
noon. To this, Attorney Anderson
objected upon the grounds that he
desired to start serving sentence
at once If possible.
During the morning hours, Mr..
Hardy was in consultation with
the State Examiner, the defendant
attorneys and the county attorney
As a result of these conferences.
he came to the conclusion that it
would be best to drop the charges
in view of the fact that the de-
PENDANT agreed to satisfy the condi-
tions' of the subpoena in SO lar as
that subpoena was interpreted by
the agents OF the State.
"Our object in this action has
been amply justified. We did not
want these documents other than
for investigation purposes. The
State Examiner cannot determine
whether or not they constitute legal
evidence. Only court Of juris-
diction can take such action"
IF that court desired that these
documents be produced, it would
issue subpoena and then the doc
uments would be broght into court
and determination made as to wheth
er OF not they constituted public
documents"

not call for their custody but mere.

that the accused county superin-
