SHAM BATTLE
 FOR FOURTH!
Attack and Defense of Phoenix, Employing Ma tional Guard and Indian School Cadets, to Be Fea- tUre of Celebration

That Phoenix will witness it's first sham battle, in connection with the coming Fourth of July celebration, was decided last night by Adiutant- General Harris and, in anticipation of this, he ordered thirty thousand rounds of ammunition for use on that day.
 An elaborate attack on and de- fense of Phoenix is planned, in which the National Guard and Indian School cadets will take part, and the National Guard cadets win prob ably be assigned to some part ill the manoeuVers.
 It is the opinion of the Adjutant- General that a sham battle will not only be of unusual interest to the general population; but the manoev- CTS will be of great value to the guardsmen. The Phoenix, Tempe and Mesa contingents will all be repre- sented and it is hoped that it will he possible to bring the companies from Tucson and Yuma as we'll
 Just how the attacking and de- lending forces will be distributed has not yet been decided. but the attack ing party will probably come from the south and the defenders of the city will probably be cntrenched near the river in the vicinity of River side Park, which is to be the center of the Fourth of July celebration.
 Another event which has been de oiled upon by the committee in charge is a championship tug of war between the Police and Fire Departments. It is a long time since such a contest was held in the city and the revival of contests between these rivals will stir up a lot of in terest and enthusiasm
 According to one of the members of the committee it will be a genuine old-time celebration, such as has not taken place for years. with parades sports and contests of all kinds. plenty of fireworks and lots of mu- sic and it is planned to have Glen dale. Mesa. Tempe, Chandler and Buckeye take part

ATTACKS POWER ]. OF COMMISSION
Writ of Mandamls Granted Hcralds of Liberty May Mean Colporation Com mission Has No Discre- tionary Powers

Holding that the corporation com mission has no discretionary powers
 in the granting of licenses 70 in
 surance companies, Judge Stanford
 of the superior court yesterday granted the Heralds of Liberty a writ of mandamus ordering the com mission to immediately issue a per init to the organization to do Dusi-
 ness in the state. The commission.
 will appeal the case to the supreme court
 Applications for the writ was filed several weeks ago, and after argu- ment was taken under advisemelt by the court. In the meantime the company filed application for per m ::sion to transdcf business in the state, and the commission set June as the date for learing the appli- cation. The company's applicatigl. N III therefore be heald today, in spite of the issuance of the writ ordering the commission to give the organiza- tion a permit at once.
 Commission Will Fight
 Realizing that the question involved is whether or not the commission has discretionary powers in the granting of licenses to insurance companies, the commission is pre- pairing to fight the writ in the su- Dreme court, and if necessary. to carry the case to the supreme court of the United States. Instructions to at once prepare to appeal the case to the supreme court of the state were sent to the attorney-gen- eral yesterday. and it is probable that notice of appeal will be filed to- day

A I5nes of the commission yesterday Tn case the courts hold that the commission does not have the disci etionary power under the law, then it will be neces- sary 60 ask the legislature to amend the law relating to the granting of permits to insurance corporations"
 Whether or not the appeal of the commission to the supreme court will affect the writ is a question which has been referred to the attorney general for decision. Prominent at Lorneys familiar with the law express the opinion that the appeal will have no effect on the writ. and that. in the ease of the Heralds of Liberty. it least. the commission will be -orced to grant permit The com )any, fraternal insurance organiza- ion. was granted license to do business in the state last January. put after an investigation by the commission it's license was revoked ]

HUTCH|NS GETS
 RID IF SECRET
Announces Finally Aston ishing Cut in Prices of New Overland Line - Model S3 and How It IS Put Up This Year

E. B. Hutchns of the Huntsman Hotchkiss Overland company, yester- day was able to give out his secret Of the factory announcement of the nsW prices for the Overland car. MT. Hotch- kiss now at TOleda yesterday wired to MT. Hutchins as follows:
 Model eighty three is a world beat CT. Orders can be booked for prompt delivery. If I am any judge of auto mobile values these cars will sell them selves. The announcement created more excitement in the east than any similar announcement has ever created. Do not hesitate to guarantee new cars to be even better than the cars of the past. Go as strong as you like on the guarantee.
 H. H. HOTCHKISS."
 Said MT. Hutchins further:
 The biggest sensation in automobile circles so far this year is the cut of &325 in the price of the Overland.
 The largest four cylinder Overland produced this year will sell for $750.
 Specifications show that, better in many particulars it is otherwise prac- tically the famous overland Model so which last season sold for S1075. It is lighter in weight, has more power. bn improved starting and lighting system, one-man top head light dinner and diVan upholstery.
 The remarkably low price is direct lv in line with the Overland policy of giving the consumer the benefit of the saving accomplished by the wonderful facilities of the big Toledo factory. Six years of preparation and development of these facilities have brought the Ov- erland company to the point where they can offer q real family car. com bining road comfort and economical operation for this low price
 John \. Willys. president of the com pany. stated a few weeks ago that the big additions at the Overland plant make possible a daily output of 600 cars, or double that which gave his company first place in the records of the Automobile chamber of commerce. Overland officials declare that it is on y the economies of such tremendous production that enable them to estab- fish a price for their product which is SO revolutionary
 Model S3, as the new Overland is known. is a large touring car. with a body roomN enough to seat five grown persons comfortably In power. finish. comfort. equipment and construction. [ is fully the equal of it's predecessor
 The 8 horsepower motor is exactly he same as that of last seasons large | Overland four and in view of the cars 1 fighter weight the surplus of power is | wen greater. Its cylinders have a bore | if As inches and q stroke of 419 inches. |

PRESIDENTS NEW NOTE
(Continued from Page One)

patch of the ambassadors representa- 1 tive will not affect the sending of an American reiOinder to the last German note, though it may delay l Germany's reply. The president worked alone on the communication, seeing few callers. He studied the memorandum submitted by Secretary
 bers of the cabinet embodying a
 variety of suggestions. The tenor of
 them all was the same. that the
 United States should reiterate with
 emphasis the principle expressed in
 it's note of May 13 and ask adher-
 ence to it
 The ambassadors plan has caused
 him to be very hopeful of satis- factory outcome of the delicate situ- ation that has arisen. Believing that his government was uninformed of the feeling in the United States when the last note was written in Berlin, he is said to be confident that off cials there will now learn important details that will be of guidance in the American governments new communication
 Although the president naturally would not discuss this country's re- latiOns with the allies. the ambassa- dor is said to have been convinced | by his talk with MT. Wilson of his | sincerity of purpose in upholding the | neutrality of the United States.
