brought into the proceedings OF the
"cribbing scandal" at the Naval Acad-
emy. From Newport, where the Ozark
now is stationed, Surgeon Mcdowell has
telegraphed vigorous denial of news
paper reports that connect his name
with the examination scandal. In addi-
tIon, Ire has asked the Navy Depart
ment to investigate the matter !mmedi-
ately so far as he Is concerned.
When informed that his name had
been Slentioned by Admiral Fulla,n
and Robert Moss, father of Midshipman n
James r. Moss, as having some possible
connection with the alleged sending Of
Naval Academy examination papers to
Midshipman Moss, DR.. Mcdowell said:
''Mr. Moss and Admiral Fullam evil
IDENTIFY have been msquoted. have not
been at the Naval Academy for more
than a year. I have been the medical
officer of the United States ship Ozark =
and from May, 1914, to January 1916. we
were In Tampico, Mexico. have not
seen or written to Mr.. Moss or his son
since left Annapolis. more than A year
ago, nor have l been TO Annapolis since
May, 1914"
In cross-examining Admiral Fuilam
at the Investigation, Mr.. Moss brought
out the. fact that the reference to Dr.
Mcdowell was entirely casual. and that
no charge was made against him In con-
nection with furnishing questions. He
also brought out the fact that Dr. Nc
DowelI had been away from the Acad-
emy for more than a year.

June Is Showing Boom
In Marriage Licenses

The bottom has not dropped out of
the marriage license market In Wash
ington as 1t has In Baltimore and other
cities similar to the Capital in size. In
fact. trading in the blissful certificates
dispensed by Colonel Kroll, in the
clerks office of the District Supreme
Court has been more brisk thus far dur
ing June. the month of brides" than
In the same perio da year ago.
The war In Europe, the new styles in
milady's wardrobe. the tenor of the re-
joinder to Germany. and even the addi-
tional tariff imposed on weighty nup-
tial baggage by the Cummins act has
thus far failed to check the issuance of
marriage licenses, and Colonel Kroll,
who Is the last word as a hymeneal
prognostician. today gave the optimistic
forecast that June, 1915, would greatly
eclipse the same month last year.
In the first nine days OF June. 1914
there were 157 licenses issued here. UI
until the closing hour yesterday
Colonel Kroll had issued 1853 passports
to happiness. Eliminating one Sunday
thus far in June, the average daily
issue of marriage certificates for the
eight days has been in excess Of twenty
and this figure multiplied by the total
of twenty-seven week days in June will
bring the total in excess of last June
when 500 licenses were issued.

Pope Says Peace Move

ROME. June l0.-'T stand ready now or
at any future time to cooperate with
President Wilson in any move that Is
destined to bring about European
peace" said Pope Benedict XIV. when
giving an audience to Miss Jane
Adams, of Chicago, and DR.. Aletta
Jacobs. Of Holland. who. as representa-
tive of the Women's Peace Conference.
were given an audience by his holiness.
II realize that the whole world is look
ing to the Vatican to take the initiative
in peace, but believe that the move

is the greatest neutra! power in the
world, and which. up to this time, has
maintained a high standard Of strict
neutrality. feel that 1t Is only the
matter of great national pride that pre-
vents an early peace"

While Bryan leaders are talking about

part OF men close to Wilson TO drive
bryan out of the Cabinet, wilson Iead-
ers have been Jared into realisation
or the fact that Mr.. Bryan's talk OF
aiding the Administration now that he
is out of the Cabinet means mischief to
tne Administration and, as many De-
heve. a big split in the party
strong words are used among some OF
the friends OF the President today to
characterize Mr.. Bryan's course. Had
ne been content to quit the Cabinet and
remain silent until the international
crisls fad passed, they could not nave

little white until all pretense Of peace
between the Wilson and Bryan elements
Is dropped.
President Worried.
The astonishing ENHANCEMENT Of for
eisn complications and domestic po-
htical troubles has brought great worry
and anxiety to the President and the
men closest to him. But at the same
time. they are not showing the least
sign of beips swerved from the lines
they have laid down.
They realize that Mr.. Bryan has q
following of strength in the Democratic
party, and that In his new pacifcist
peace organizations and other elements
In the nation without regard to party.
They realize that he will probably
have the support of pro-German ele-
Bryan advocacy OF prohibition in the
past has displeased German Americans.
But they feel that there will be com

other words. the Administration feels
convinced that in the pursuit Of firm
international policy. 1t will have the
strong and militant backing, not only Of
the greater share 9th Of the pemoeratlc 0srstI
and that IL Mr.. Bryan goes ahead with
the course he has mapped out at this
time. while the foreign situation con-
ttnues acute, he will damage himself
real support of the White House.
Berlin May See.
1t is too early to tell what effect the
Bryan resignation and his open declar-
alton for the very course Germany
wants this country to pursue will have
In Germany. But the view is leld by
many that it will be misiutcrpreted in
Berlin for a sign of weakness on the
part of this country.
In other words, 1t is feared that
the attitude of Mr.. Bryan. who 10
urging peace, will be the very thing
that will cause Germany to fiout this
country and bring about a break in re-
lations.
Had Mr.. Bryan resigned when he be-
gan to differ with the President on the
Falaba case. Administration leaders
would not have been able to criticise
him greatly. But having gone along
with the Administration policy thus
far and then to balk when the real
crisis was at hand. they feel criticism
Is warranted.

"SEE ARIZONA FIRST"
1915 State Fair WilI be Held November
 l5-2O, Inclusive.

The State Fair Com mission at their recent meeting perfected plans and program for what will no doubt be the best State Ex- position and greatest week of Sports and Amusements, ever held in Arizona.
 The dates selected this year are November 18th. 2Oth, inclus- i've, following immediately after the closing of the great fall race meeting at San Francisco, where all the best race horses in the United States will be congregat- ed.
 They will be seen this year at Phoenix as this is the last meet ing of the year, and directly in their path back to their Eastern winter quarters.
 The feature attraction this year will be the 5000 Arizona Grand Prix, Auto Race, to be staged on Saturday, of Fair week. This will be the longest auto race ever held on one mile track, and will DO doubt be very exciting as the element of dan ger IS greatly enhanced by the small circumference of the mile oval. The damage to the track by the heavy racing cars going at such terrific speed render it necessary to hold this event on the last day of the Fair.
 Hon. George Purdy Bullard, uperintendent of the auto de- pertinent, announces that De Palma, Resta, Cooper, Oldfield, Rickenbacker, Burman and all the great dare devil drivers in the world will be on hand this year. This event which will be one week before the annual Co., roma Road Race, will give Ariz- ona great publicity throughout the United States as the Arizona Grand PriX and the Corona Road Race are the only great auto events to be held in the west this year.
 The Fair Commission have al- so arranged program for a great Cowboy Tournament, Cowboy sports being included on each day of the week, instead of two days only, as in the past. Two thousand dollars will be offered in prizes and, it is tbe aim of the Fair Commission to have a rod co which will surpass anything of the kind ever held in the State.

The Worlds SubIimest Spectacle.

I thank the ruler of my mortal circumstance that it has been my fortune once to see the Grand Canyon of the Colorado.
 No mortal eye has ever held so great a scene.
 I should be ashamed-As an American should be ashamed if, by my own choice, I had looked on Egyptian pyramid, or and never seen any of my own country's glory in the sublimest spectacle of all the world.
 It is one great gulch of grand eur let down into the eternitieS. It is the soul and substance of all the mountains and all the chasms, of all the deepS and all the heights, sculptured and chiseled, majestically masoned, |, and magnificently upholstered in myriad splendors of light and shadow, of shape and color, by the Lord God Almighty.
 Here are vast Gilbraltars that no artillery of earth could ever shake. Here are Alham bras more splendid than any sultan's dream. Here are thrones too magnificent for any mortal king heights unspeakable, depths unuterrable, and colorS divine: crimson falling softly into brown, old gold fading into violet: domes of chalcedony of temples of porphyry; auroras crouching splendid among the rocks, and mighty cathedralS of purple and gold, where sunrise and sunset are married to the setting of a rainbow ring.
 No canvas or camera has ever caught the grandeur of the Canyon.
 No pen or tongue has ever done justice to this matchless perora tion of the universe.
 Put away words! There is nothing to do before this un- speakable glory but to be silent and still, whilo the poor cramp- ed souls beats against its bosom for expression, and in the i'm potence of all human speech simply whispers, "God!"-John Temple Graves.

Farm Advisors Not Kid-Gloved.

The county farm advisors of the U. of A. Agricultural Ex- tension Service and the U. s. Department of Agriculture are not of the kid g1oved variety. The following incidents which occurred recently will illustrate this point.
 Farm Advisor James A. Arm strong of Maricopa County, found a farmer, who was mex perienced with silos, attempting to fill his silo. MT. Armstrong spent most of the afternoon working with the farmer instruct ing him how to pack his silage and operate his machinery.
 Farm Advisor A. l.. Paschall of COchise- Santa Cruz Counties, after getting tired of seeing a bad place in main road, got the local Farm Improvement Association out and fixed the road. The job required two days work and the woman mem- bers furnished luncheon for the men. This is the kind of CO., operation that get results. Post.

Mining Investments Best Says Expert.

In a statement just made pub lie by Chester R. Lawrence, 6 prominent financier of Boston, the startling claim is made that of the average returns from cap ital invested in various in dustries, mining profits lead all others.
 Mr. Lawrence is well known among the mining men of the west, having financed among his many projects, the Empire Cop per company of Arizona.
 His statement, in part, follows:
 The National Banker in re- cent issue makes the unequivoc- al statement that the com bined dividends paid by the gold and silver companies of the United States are greater than the com bined dividends paid by all the banking institu tions of the Unit ed States.
 That the com bined dividends paid by the copper companies of the United States are greater chan the combined dividends l)dlO Oy dIl OI OllO clliL Oddo O1 the United States, and that 52 per cent of the freight handled by these same railroad is either ore or some commodity connect ed with the mining and milling of ore.
 To this somewhat astounding and not generally know fact, BradStreet'S and Dun'S cOmmer- cial agencies supply the some what startling addenda that but 36 per cent of all legitimate min ing investments fail, as against , per cent in general conner cial lines.
 Seventy six mines of the United States have paid in divi- dend in 1914- up to October 1 $75, 100000.
 During 1907 $500, ,OOO, 900 was lost in gilt edge securities and about as much during the past two years, which was more than was ever lost in mining.
 Government figures show the following returns on capital in- vested.

Cochise Has Lowest Tax Rate.

4 comparison of the tax rates as levied by the supervisors of the various counties of the state discloses the fact that Cochise county with her rate of S1.O7 on the S1OO.OO valuation has the lowest, while Maricopa county comes second, with SLIP, and Yavapai follows with rate of S1.15. Clerk B. l.. Hitch of the board of supervisors has just re- ceived the list from the state board of the rate from the vari- ous counties, and while it was practically assured that Cochise rate would be the lowest. it was not thought that the difference from the next closest wound amount to three cents. The rate of the counties follow in order: Cochise S1.O7; Maricopa SLIP; Yavapai S1.15; Greenlee SLY; Pinai SIPS; Yuma $1. 80; Santa Cruz S1.35; Navajo SLY; Gila S1. AS; Mohave $1.5O; Pima $1. 55 !; Coconino $165; Graham $1.7O; Apache $1.8O.
 Most every county this year shows an increase in the rate, some, slight increase, such as ! CochiSe, which was only B cents over last year, while others show a much larger increase ] over last year.
