SUIT IS BROUGHT
 ANEW IN KENTUCKY
(From Thursdays DaiIy.)


 PHOENIX, June 30.-Word was received here yesterday by Attorney James Westervelt, of Sloan & West tervelt, of the filing by Judge Sloan at Louisville, Ky, on Monday in the federal court of the district of Ken lucky, or an action m behalf of the Development Company of America against the Southern Pacific com pany, for the recovery of damages in the sum of $15,OOO,OOO for an alleged breach of contract. This is in line with similar suit filed in New York one year ago against the Southern Pacific company, and now taken to the district of Kentucky, for jurisdic- tional reasons, the Southern Pacific company being incorporated under the laws of the state of Kentucky
 The cause of action arises of an alleged deal made in July, 1910, by Frank M. Murphy, of Prescott and B. P. Cheney of Boston, represent ing the Development company, and President Robert s. Lovett, repre- senting the Southern Pacific com pany. It is claimed that Judge Low ett, acting for the company agreed to advance $50O,OOO on an option on the control of the development com pany. This money was to be ad- vanced on certain day and in the meantime, it is claimed, Judge Lovett directed that the managers of the various mining companies of which the development company was the holding company, could draw on the development company for operating expense money and such drafts would be covered by the Southern Pacific company It is alleged that several such drafts were presented and pro tested. On the day the S5OO,OOO was to have been paid over under the terms of the alleged agreement, Judge Lovett was absent from New York and his secretary intimated he had been instructed that the money was not to be paid over.
 Tn this action of the Development Company of America, Sloan and Westervelt and William M. Seabury are the attorneys for the company. There having been no appearance i'll the action on the part of the South ern Pacific company in the Kentucky case, the names of the attorneys for the railroad company, have not been made public.

BEARISH TONE TO
 THE CATTLE MARKET

KANSAS CITY STOCK YARDS, June 28-Light receipts of cattle last week met a good market. and sales were Is to 30 higher on most killing cattle Stockers and feeders were
 scarce, and prices were steady to lower. A good run of cattle was ex- pectcd today, which materialized to the extent Of 1l.000 head, including
 143 cars of quarantine cattle. Corn fed cattle were scarce, and sold steady heavy steers up to $9.25, yearlings $940, bulk Of steers $S.25 to $9.10. Butcher cattle are holding firm, as grass cattle have not cut in on them to any extent yet, though more grassers will come each week now. A train of 10 cars of Arizona barley and alfalfa fed steers arrived, and sold at $7.75 to $S.35, prices slightly better than a train of similar steers brought week ago.
 In the quarantine division about 100 cars of the supply were fed steers from North Texas, the good steers selling largely at steady prices, $S to $S.75 Competition was strong on these, because of small offerings of corn fed cattle in the native division. Medium fed steers sold at $7 40 to $S, and South Texas grassers at $6.20 to %.80, the top grassers having had a little cake, and some canner steers brought $5.S5. these prices 10 to Is lower. Stockers and feeders were more plentiful around $6.6O, desirable steers for the country of all weights at SIPS to $S.
 Hogs sold , to 10 lower, packers attempting to get them at a still fur ther decline, without much success. Order buyers paid %.6215 for top hogs, and bulk of all sales ranged from $40 to $755. receipts 9,000 head. Dealers consistently predict higher summer market under the in fiuence of heavier buying of cured meats during the hot weather, but packers are said to covet a range of prices around $7. Receipts have been in favor of sellers during June, and there is no reason to expect any in crease in the supply just now.
 Sheep and lambs arrived to the number of 6,000 head market 25 high CT. Spring lambs sold at $l0.15 and Sl020, including l3 loads of Arizona spring lambs at these prices. Texas stock IS coming in scattered ship nents, ewes worth $ to $5.75. year ings $6.50 to $7. Native ewes sell at S475 to $5.25.

 On the way north slow down signs were erected at Jerome Junction warning motorists to run at not more than 10 miles per hour in that village. These signs were put up at the request of the Jerome Junction people who claimed that automobiles were driving through their town at a furious pace and violating speed laws and endangcring lives at the same lime

SEVEN ARE NEAR DEATH
 IN AUTO SMASH-UP
CFrom Fridays Daily)


 Driving down the Copper Basin road into Prescott in an automobile on which the brakes failed 10 work and which was running. as a result. at a furious pace down the road about three miles from this city. Mrs. Rob ert Shultz. of Thompson valley, in her husbands big seven passenger Case car crashed into a Ford owned by Orville Glenn, of Walnut Grove and narrowly escaped hurling the en- tire seven people in both cars to death over an embankment.
 Glenn, who was accompanied by his wife and daughter, was going up the grade. He had stopped and had pulled out to one side of the road to await the coming of the larger ma chine. which he thought would stop on the turn above and give him 9 chance to pass.
 In the machine descending there were four people, Mir. and Mrs. Rob ert Shultz, and their daughter and her husband.
 The people in both machines were saved through pine tree which stood alongside the highway where Glenn had stopped his machine. The bigger machine coming from above could not be stopped by the driver and there was not room enough to pasa the Ford.
 The Glenns on seeing the big ma chine rounding the curve realized their predicament but did not have time to save themselves, the Case car tearing into the side of the Ford and sending 1t over the embankment. The Case car, after 1t had hit the Glenns' car. stuck right to it and both of them started to go over the side. The Ford going over first hit pine tree about six inches thick. The tree was broken at the roots but stopped the two cars from plunging the rest of the way down the 15-foot embank- ment Neither car turned turtle, but the occupants of both were badly scared for a moment The Ford is a total wreck. The accident occurred yesterday afternoon about 2 o'clock.

CHARITY OA VERY
 sTUPENDOUS SCALE

Relief of human suffering was never effected on so large a scale as by the American Commission for the Relief of Belgium, and never has relief work of such magnitude been conducted so thoroughly, systematically and eco- nomically.
 At the start, the commission secured provisions and distributed them as carefully as possible whenever the des- titute could be reached. But that was a makeshift. Members of the commits sion, many of them men successful in large business undertakings, applied business principles to the problem. They organized the finances and in- dustry of Belgium; erected a great banking and commercial trading insti- tuition whereby money and credit were exchanged for provisions. Gold dis appeared, but there was an abundance of paper money.
 The commission made all who had the money pay for the food, and when
