ALL OFFICIALS .W|LLBEPRESENT
At Corner Laying Cere- mony of Temple = New Car from Bisbee Section for Shrine Special-Big Crowd from California

An invitation extended by the shrine the corner stone at the temple lot, Sun day morning, has been accepted by all of the state and city heads of the off cial departments and the weather con curing, the picture which is to follow the ceremony should be a splendid sue cess. The ceremony al the temple lot will start promptly at II o'clock and all shriners in Phoenix and those who are here on that day are requested by the committee to be present in the rega- ia of the order, fez and dress suit.
 Following the taking of the picture of the crowd assembled at the build ing site the committee has arranged for the dignitaries present, together with the shriners who turn out, to proceed in cars to the state house where a num- Der of scenes for the picture will be filmed
 It is here that the chief executive will be photographed sending the Arab caravan on it's way to the rim of the canyon in the north. Several other SPp'S w III oO NioitOu Dy llc piN'ulo iiie'il with his crew and all of the shriners who own cars are requested to have them on hand to accommodate the big bunch necessary to the success of the picture.
 Another car was ordered by wire to- day to accommodate the extra reserva- tions which came in with the morning mail. While the local contingent is a bit slow in getting their berths the vis- itors from the out of town points are getting in line for the big trip.
 A wire from Eugene Clapp of the Southern Pacific yesterday asked that permission to attach an extra car to be filled at Bisbee be wired the agent of the Fl Paso and Southwestern at once

dresses of welcome delivered to the conference by local citizens. Mayor Geo. U. Young delivered a delicious address of welcome to the conference on behalf of the citizens of Phoenix.
 He said in part that he desired very much that the delegates of the con ference who had come from various states and communities should feel welcome to Phoenix. He stated that he was sure that Phoenix would gain by the presence of men and women whose coming meant good to the community. He wished the confer
 ence and the bishop every success
 and subscribed his influence to aid

which he was needed nearer home in the business of cleaning out the Agean stables or garage of the capi- tol building in which the big white car is kept.
 Mir. Cameron's further remarks had to do more with the financial condi- tions than with the political affairs of the state. Trouble had fallen in a bunch First there was the na- tural depression incident to a change in the national administration. Then came a democratic state administra- ton and as if that were not enough to satisfy the wrath of the gods, they had precipitated the European war. MT. Cameron believed that he could help some as an antidote to the ad- ministration but he did not go so far as to pledge himself to stop the horrors of the war.
 Thomas Campbell, candidate for tax commissioner is a gentleman of pleasing appearance. He was intro duced as an expert on the subject of taxation. MT Campbell said that he would not at this time undertake a discussion of that complex subject but later Phoenix audience would hear from him.
 C. c. Cole of Clifton presented his claims for support for the office of .anty, seventeen years of experience
 in clerical work. J. C. Reed gave as one of the reasons why he should be elected corporation commissioner, the need of harmony in that organization of which there had beeh too little fhc last three YearS

BRINGS ACTION
 IN J. $. COURT
Ray X GiIa Valley Asks Abatement of 1914 Taxes Based on Assessment of $114,500 Per Mile-Com-
 pany's Value $64,000 Mile

Alleging that it has no redress un- der the state law governing the assess ment of railroads, the Ray and Gila Valley railroad company has filed suit in the federal court asking for the abatement of it's taxes for the year 1914. The state tax commission and the treasurer and board of supervisors of Pinal county are named as defen- dants in the case, which comes up for hearing under temporary restraining order on October 19
 The company makes the claim that the assessment of $114,500 per mile fixed by the state tax commission is unjust and unreasonable, and states that under existing statutes it would be impossible to secure rebate in case suit was brought after the tax had been paid Action was therefore brought in the federal court before this years t;fXes became delinquent
 The assessment attacked by the rail- road company is by far the highest valuation ever placed on railroad prop erty in the state. The company's com plaint compares it with the valuation of s64,000 placed on the main lines of the Southern Pacific and Santa F'e and states that the correct valuation of the short line is not more than that fig ure.

night visit of a party of unidentified

burial by his family.
Vergara's body secretly was placed
at lonely spot on the Rio Grande AS
of Sunday morning to be found by a
and a county deputy sheriff, but who
was responsible for its removal from
Mexican territory was a question still
unanswered. The body was here to-
day waiting an examination which
State authorities hope may disclose
something to aid them in placing
blame for the ranchman's violent
death after he was taken prisoner by
Mexican Federals.
A superficial examination of the
body disclosed two gunshot wounds in
the head, one in the neck, blow as If
from a rifle butt which crushed the
skull and the mutilated left hand,
twisted and charred by fire, suggested
that tortures had been inflicted before
Vergara was executed.
