The protests that Harold Kincaid and Harry Newnham helped them selves along the route of The Re publiCan's Tempe Phoenix bike race having failed to be proven, the com mittee has awarded the prizes to those two young athletes, who fin ished one and two in the contest. Neil Doheney gets third prize, Harley Fra ley. winner of the Echo Canyon to Phoenix race, fourth and Alfred San ders fifth.
 Kincaid's reward for having made the best time, will be a handsome adn useful coat sweater, and the big end of the purse raised by collecting entry fees. The other winners get merchandise prizes and small cuts off the roll-the bacon, as it were.
 Plans for the next race are now being considered by the committed The Republican has offered to back a race from Chandler here, either on Christmas or New Years day A change in the system of starting has been found advisable, from the eX- periences of the committee in the two road races already held. The riders will be lined up and started all at once, instead of on scheduled times. This change will do away, in part, with the difficulty of figuring times, and will also make it almost impossi- ble for contestants to slip one over' by hooking onto automobiles, unless he first earns by his own efforts, such d lead as will carry him way out of sight of the bunch

 In line with his attitude Senator James Hamilton Lewis, democratic whip of the senate, introduced a reso- lutiOn which would direct an executive inquiry by military and naval commit tee of the senate into expenditures of millions of dollars appropriated in the past for national defense. The inquiry will be directed to ascertain just what has been provided by expenditures in late years, to ascertain actual military conditions. The resolution was re- ferred to the committee on military af- fairs
 Another military measure, submitted by Senator Chamberlain of Oregon, chairman of the military affairs com mittee, proposed the creation of a council on national defense to consist of the secretary of state as president, the secretaries of war and the navy, the chairman of the appropriation, mil itary, naval, foreign relations commit tee of the senate and house. the chief Of staff of the army and an officer of the navy, and heads of the army and navy war colleges.

 The Outlaws are the fastest junior baseball team of the state, and have been playing regularly scheduled games for many weeks. The team is not organized on a money basis, and plays no formal games. But the va cant lot contests that are pulled off every Sunday and holiday are the means of providing amusement for hundreds of fans whose love of the game over-reaches their regard for the season of the year.

HUNT WILL NOT DELAY NEW LAW
Wires Bryan that Under Provisions of State Con- stitution New 80 Per Cent Bill Must Soon go Into Effect.

Although the full text of Gov. Hunts reply to Secretary Bryan's in quiry as to what steps would be taken to prevent the eighty per cent | law from going into effect will not | be made public until further advices are received from Washington, it be- came known yesterday that the gov ernor expressed himself as unwilling 1 to defer his proclamation in view of i the fact that the law had been | adopted by the voters of the state. 1 Secretary Bryan's wire came as a
 result of formal protests against the new Arizona law lodged by the Italian and British ambassadors with
 the state pedartment, and suggested
 a temporary suspension of the meas
 ure or some other method of pre- venting it's enforcement pending a settlement of the question as to
 whether or not it conflicts with ex- distinguishing treaties.
 In reply Gov. Hunt explained that
 the law had not been enacted by the I legislature, but adopted by the peo- | pie of the state under the initiative 1 and that it would automatically be-
 come effective following the eXecu- ! tive proclamation as to it's adoption. 1 He quoted the provision of the state 1 constitution relating to the issuance of this proclamation forthwith and stated that in his opinion he had no right to delay the matter. In addi- | ton he explained the application of l the new law, and it's provisions as laffecting employers. A complete copy | of the new measure has been for warded to the secretary of state. Furthermore the governor expressed
 his willingness, in view of the in | ternational aspect of the situation to await further advices from the state department and to give them his
 careful consideration. His proclama- ton, however, will be issued this lweek, probably tomorrow.
