FILING OF CLAIMS IS
 THE ONLY NEW MOVE

PHOENIX, July S.-In an effort to obtain funds under the new ap- pTopriation bill, claims were filed yes terday with State Auditor Callaghan by three state departments. No ac- ton has been taken on any of the claims.
 Secretary Jesse Boyce filed a claim in the morning for s worth of post age stamps. In the afternoon Ad- jutant General Harris and Prof. C. O. Case, superintendent of public instruc- ton, filed claims for travelling ex- penses.
 Aside from the filing of the claims there were no new developments in the situation. The opinion of the attorney general had not been receiv- ed by the state auditor at closing time, although the document had been expected sometime during the afternoon. Announcemtn was made at the office of the attorney general of the postponement of the Hopski and Barette cases in the Federal court there, so that Attorney General Jones will be able to remain here and devote his time to the matter of the appropriation muddle. It is expected that as soon as the opinion of the general is received, Auditor Callaghan will inform the various de partments of his decision not to pay their claims, and thereupon applica- ton will be filed in Supreme court for a writ of mandamus to compel payment.

DEADLY COMBAT
 AMONG THIS SNAKES
(From Thursdays DaiIy.)


 The snake den of the Moose con cession on Montezuma street had an act on the boards Tuesday which was pulled off without announcement, when a rattler and species of the bull breed engaged in combat that proved fatal to the rattler.
 . Doe Roberts, in charge of this feature, gave quite an interesting in terview on the reason for the strife, which he attributes to nothing more nor less than jealously. He said: The rattler had its mate in the den, of the same breed, and the bullsnakc attempted 10 step in and win its af- fertions. when the clash occurred. At the time I was at the Palace to secure a bucket of warm water, with which to thaw out certain species that were somewhat languid in ac ton owing to the change of climate and high elevation. The two snakes mixed up for less than five minutes and when I returned the bull had its coils around the rattler four times, near the head and life was extinct This affair was surprise to me for this reason. The rattler weighed ex actly 19 IS pounds, and the bullsnake was only 3 pounds in weight. The snake killed was in my charge under bond of $15O, and was owned by the San Diego exposition. It was captured in Texas many years ago, and without doubt was the biggest ever known by many pounds. It was also ferocious, and had bitten me on the arm in three places. Since arriv- ing in this city, have had to be very careful in handling it or its mate. It had l7 rattles and button, and its age was approximated from 100 to 15O years"
 Mir. Roberts returned yesterday to San Diego to resume his engagement at that exposition and took away his collection of rattlers and other ven omous reptiles.

PROHIBITION IS
 CAUSING SOME TROUBLE

DOUGLAS, July 7-The chief part of the work of the customs officials along the border and particularly at Naco and Nogales, is watching out for attempts to smuggle liquor into the state, according to Charles E. Hardy, collector of customs for the port of Arizona, who is in the city. Agua Prieta does not figure so great ly in this work as the two ports first named, because of the strict prohibit ton ruling of General P. Elias Gales and its impartial enforcement.
 The other two places have numer- ous saloons and men from this side of the line are constantly attempting to bring liquor from a small quantity up to large amounts, across the bor- der. The next general source of work with the customs men is at tempted smuggling of horses, numer- ous small seizures having been made dlOlS lne DOIueT III recent WeeKS. This is chiefly due, however, in MT. Hardy's opinion, to the disorganized condition south of the border which makes the owners of the animals wish to get them out of the country, pre- fering to face the possibility or prob ability of their seizure by the United States rather than to leave them to certain confscation by the members of one faction or the other.
 But few cattle are being smuggled, no recent seizures having been made by the customs officials.

JONES UPHOLDS
 GOVERNORS VETO

PHOENIX, July 8-Upholding the governors veto, Attorney Gener- al Wiley Jones completed his opinion on the general appropriation bill at } o'clock this afternoon, pursuant to request from State Auditor J. C.. Callaghan, who doubts the legality of certain sections of the bill
 Jones holds that the governors veto is a part of the bill, and that the governor is part of the legislative department when approving or dis approving the bill. "The governor can't add to the bill at all, but he can strike from it." said the attorney general.
 Former Attorney General c. P. Bullard in an opinion to the state auditor holds that the governor can not veto a repeating clause at all Attorney General Jones holds that he can.
 Jones holds that where the legis- lature sought to repeal the statutory provisions of the civil code the gov ernor's veto of the repeal continues the statutory clauses intact
 The opinion in part reads: q deem it my duty to recognize the act as constitutional throughout as far as it is possible for me to do so and in taking this position I am bound of course 10 recognize as part of the act itself the message of the governor when he disapproves great many items of said bill but approves the bill as whole, subject of course, to his disapproval of the various items specifically named in his message.
 "The action of the governor upon bill wherein he approves or disap- proves is an act of legislation upon his part and is not an executive act The governor in his act of approval or disapproval of any portion of the general appropriation bill is acting as part of the legislative department provided for by the state constitu- tion"

FRENCH ARMY IS TO
 EAT SALT RIVER BEEF

PHOENIX, July "A special train load of cattle, said to be the best ever shipped out of this valley, left by Southern Pacific yesterday morning, destined for the French army. The cattle will go by the way of Kansas City and Newport News.
 The shippers of the cattle are; Cartwright Bros, four cars; Ed. Con ger, three cars; Joe Monihon, one car; George Taylor, three cars; John Wright, two cars; John Marley, ten cars; Reed & Evans, one car, and An gus Cashion, two cars.
 Since the Southern Pacific began the opening of the Eastern market to Salt River valley cattle this season it has taken out 700 carloads This shipment should net the shippers from 712 cents to 734 cents. The road has established a record for an average shrinkage to Kansas City Of 20 pounds and a cost of shipment of 75 cents hundred. The train will arrive in Kansas City on Saturday night It will be a special train and crew with a coach. It will be accom- panied as far as Fl Paso by General Freight Agent Sparks who has been busy since the opening of the East ern market in collecting the cattle.
 There are yet in the valley about 100 cars for early shipment. The French demand for them ought to bring the net price of cattle to 10 cents by November.
 The Southern Pacific sent four car loads of horses to Newport News last week for the French army and will take out of Arizona within the next 30 days from 40 to 50 more car loads.

NEVER KNOW WHEN
 THEY HAVE ENOUGH

PHOENIX, July 7.-The first of the initiative petitions in favor of the Pinkley bill, substituting life i'm prisonment for the death penalty was filed yesterday with the secretary of state. The petition, which came from Florence. had been signed by 20 residents of Pinal county.
 The proposed measure would fix the penalty for first degree murder at life imprisonment, and for second de gree murder at not less than ten years imprisonment It specifically provides that mo person convicted of the crime of murder shall be recom- mended for pardon, communication or parole by the board of pardons, eX- cept upon newly discovered evidence establishing to the satisfaction of all the members of the board, his or her innocence of the crime for which the conviction was secured"
 The early initiation of the measure, it is pointed out, is being sought by the governor and others who are op- posed to capital punishment in the hope that it may have some influence with the board of pardons and paroles in the cases of the five Mexicans whose reprieves expire July 30.

TAX MUDDLE IS TO
 BE TAKEN TO COURT

PHOENIX, July 7.-In an effort to secure an interpretation of the general appropriation situation be- fore July Is, and to compel Auditor Callaghan to pay its claims for office expenses, the state tax commission will this week file application for a writ of mandamus from the states highest tribunal. Announcement to this effect was made by Secretary Jesse Boyce of the commission, who stated that he would file claim with the state auditor as soon as the opin- ion of the attorney general has been transmitted to that official.
 A suggestion that the tax commis- sion go ahead and test the matter in the courts was made to Secretary Boyce by the state auditor who has intimated that he would not honor any claims presented for office ex- penses.
 The supreme court has original jurisdiction in the matter" said Au- ditor Callaghan "and there is no req son why the question should not be taken up there, although I do not ex- pect any action to be taken until I receive the opinion of the attorney general However, I do not intend to pay any claims about which there is any doubt.

At Beyrout itself, the schools arc closed with the exception of the Am erican Protestant College, which. ow- ing to the neutrality of the United States and the diplomacy of its pres ident, Dr. Bliss has continued to work peacefully.

 WILL BOOST THE PRICE
Special Correspondence)

(SpeClal OOTreSpOndenCe)
 KANSAS CITY STOCK YARDS, July Seattle sold as well as could be desired today, trade active, and prices steady to strong, some sales 10 higher. The good market today fol lows a rise of Is to 35 cents last week, and notwithstanding weak to lower report from Chicago.
 Features today were the sale of prime steers finished on grass. One instance was by way of the Missouri method, strong wintered steers, fed out on the grass, this sale being made by J. E. Bohart, Plattsburg, two loads steers, 1881 pounds average, at $e65, new high top on heavy steers here for this year.
