The close relation of the order in council to traffic in contraband with neutsal countries has caused British officials to combine all phases of these questions in a single note which is expected to be sent as soon as all data is obtained when the situ- alton with Germany is clarified

BACK PEACE PRAYERS BY ACTION"
 TAFT
Former President Elected Head of Organization Whose Object Is to Lessen the Possibilities of Wars.
AMERICAN LEADERS
 ENROLL AS MEMBERS
Mr. Taft Says They Believe That Something Should Be Done to Support lnyoCatiOnS Against War.

PHILADELPHIA. June Within historic Indepen3 srce Hall. on the an- n.vorsary Of the battle Of Bunker Hill, there was formed today an oreaniza- tion whose object will be Co promote the creation Of a league of nations with the view of preventing wars or, at least, of lesseniug the possibilities of armed conflicts. The name adopted by the organization after some debate was The League to Enforce Peace. America Branch"
 Former President Taft. who presid- ed at the conference part of the time. was elected permanent president and a number of representative American citizens were named permanent vice. presidents Tn moving the adoption oL the report Of the committee on resolutions, which embodies the ob- jects of the league. Taft expressed the hope that "out Of this historic tuutiul may-cQme "a message that a- aaiu will help the world"
 Apefmddeut executive committee was selected with instructions to take an measures necessary to promote the objects of the league. The con- ference was not an assemblage Of what one participant termed pure peace' men. Instead. it was a gath erin- of those who, for the most part believed in trying to bring about peace even though they had to use force 10 do it.
 As Taft had to leave the city early. he called Professor John Bassett Moore. of Columbia University, to the chair Before leaving he gave his hearty endorsement to the report
 We are in favor of doing some thing as well as thinking something" |" the former president said "I believe in praying for peace. ] also believe in doing something to support that prayer"

HOUSE WILL BALK. AT LAND BILL
 CHANGES
Senate MeaSue Provides for a Triple Headed Commission With Power to Select Its Own Acting Head.

PHOENIX, June 1.-The Senate .concluded its consideration of the land bin today and returned it to the House where the question will come up on concurrence in the Senate amend ments, the principle one of which pro- vides that the State Land Commission shall consist Of the Governor. Secre- tary of State Auditor-Treasurer and Attorney General House leaders say that the bill will have to go to a con ference as this provision is objected to by the administration majority in the House The naming of the com mission as above was agreed 10 in the Senate after the members had failed to come 10 any agreement on naming an individual in the law to be com missioner By the terms of the bin the above commission shall name a conn missioner who is to be the active head Of the land department
 In the House, the entire day was spent considering the miners hospital and home bill but without definite final results. That the prohibition measure will be taken up soon was indicated from a report agreed on to- day by the House judiciary committee which returned to the House without recommendation the prohibition bill passed by the Senate. A poll of House members indicates a majority as being opposed 10 the enactment of any leg islation amending the present consti-
 utional amendment but the minority are planning to urge an early vote on the question to decide the issue
 In this connection, it developed to- day that the House judiciary commit tee, backed by the administration members and the consent of Speaker Brooks. have held in committee the semi-annual payment Of tax bill, and refused 10 report the same, hoping thereby to force a continuation Of the session until the miners hospital, state labor commissioner, and Proc tors Apache County flood sufferers relief bill can be considered. The Senate had indicated some days ago that with the land bill and semi-an- nual payment of tax amendment dis posed of they would be ready for ad- journment.
 There was a move in Phoenix today to urge the legislature to again take up the Pari-Mutual racing bill with the idea of passing it through the leg islature and sending it to Sidney P. Osborn, acting governor, with the hope that the official would not impose veto as did Governor Hunt. The was discouraged by previ- ous friends of the bill in the Senate, consequently it is doubtful if trB will be introduced.
 The Senat judiciary committee re- ported out the bill providing for an in- crease of salary for Sheriff Wheeler of Cochise County with the statement that they could see no reason why the item should have been included in the governors call, and consequently re- commended adversely on its passage.

GOVERNOR HUNT AND BRYAN REFUSE TO
 FURNISH MESSAGES
Pardon Board Is Turned Down When They Ask for Copies Of TeIegramS Regarding Mur- dererS.

PHOENIX, June l7-It is probable that the state board of pardons will take final action the latter part Of this week or the first of next in the cases of the four murderers under sentence to die at the penitentiary July 30. It is also probable that the board will decide that the sentences must be car ried out.
 Al that meeting the board will is- sue a full statement settin gforth the circumstances which caused the post ponement of the executions from May 2S Villa had made certain represen- tations to Bryan, then secretary Of state, and Bryan urged postponement on the ground of possible international complications and reprisals against Americans in northern Mexico. C. o. Case and Frank r. Trott, two mem bers of the board, voted to recommend to the governor reprieves Of nine weeks duration Their recommends ton was so worded that governor Hunt, had he chosen, could have scat tered the dates of execution. But he reprieved them all to the same date, July 30 apparently determined that if capital punishment is to be continued in Arizona there shall be bloody Friday"
 Win be Fully Set Forth.
 This fact will be set forth fully in the statement the board plans to iA sue at it's next meeting It will also be set forth that the board asked the governor and Bryan for copies of the telegram from Hunt on which Bryan based his strongly worded request for a postponement of the executions, and that both refused.
 The members of the board naturally do not care 10 make any definite state ment at this time, but persons close to Trot and Case say that there is no reason to expect any further delay Of the executions Sufficient time will have been given by July 30 for all fac tions in Mexico to know that Rodrl. guez. Chaves, Peralta and Perez were duly convicted of murder under the laws of the United States, and that hey would have been hanged long ago
