Alex May Lead Pitchers.

As the pitchers in the National league go into the stretch, ii begins to look as if Alexander will finish the season where he ought to finish at the top.
 The wcnd rful mcundsman has won something like 2s games against 10 defeats. That places him, second to Mammaux, the Pirate phenom, but Alexander has beea closing up the gap that divided tha two. and n2w is only few points behind. Alcxa nder, during he past month has been lreezing along in much b tier form, while Mammaux shows signs of slip ping.
 Smokey Joe" Wood, having ccma back into his own, is leading the American league hurlers by rather healthy maugin and ought to finish ahead of th9 field, although his team mates. Ruth and Foster, are giving him a clcse fight. Wood is about 40 points ahead of Ruth and about be ahead of Foster.

(Marouard Seems to be Through.

"Ruhe" Marquara, seems to have outlived his major league usefulness. It was figured when he was let out by the Giants and again was taken under the wing of Wilbert Robinson that he might do $ "coms back" but the eccentric southpaw, in his last few starts, has shown nothing that would merit keeping him on the pay roll. He has been battered from the box with frequency.
 However, Marquard's contract, one of those supposedly iron-clad affairs, holds good until the enc. of the 1916 season, so that even if he is chased off into the bushes he will draw big league pay until October of next year.

STATE LEGISLATURE LEAVES
ITS WORK UNFINISHED
Governor hi No Hurry.
CONTINUED from Page IL


A senator close to the administra-
ton is authority for the statement
however, that if the governor is fore
ed to call an extra session, he will
delay the date sufficiently long
enough that members will have re-
turned to their homes and receive
the criticism the governor anticipates
awaits them. Another analysis of
the situation, however, is that by de-
laying the extra session the tax COM
mission viii, under present revenue
law, have fixed the valuations of pro-
ducing mines for the 1915 taxation
and in this way the demand for mine
tax legislation will have been les
sened.

over and then killed by the indef1n-

Brooks urged that to limit the reg

days was an unreasonable restr1c-

now existing in this body as an ar
gument in support of his contention.
Goodwin told of former legislatures

The livestock industry OF Arizona Is
today in splendid shape. The report
of the livestock Sanitary Board for
1914, recently submitted TO the Arr
iona state legislature, shows about
100000 head. of cattle were shipped
from the state during the year. The
revenue from these heavy shipments
were very large, as the prices for
all kinds of livestock were the
highest ever known and they are con
tinually growing. In addition to cat
tie, nearly 1000 hogs were handled
for points outside the state and the
wool clip from 100000 sheep
brought into Arizona a sum totalling
over 81, sda.0 900.

Too Many Restrictions.
Pinkley's bill prohibiting the en-
ployment Of peace officers by corpor-
ations, met death in the house com
mittee of the whole. Too many re-
strictions were included In the bill.
Marlar pointed out that the measure
was so inclusive that 1t would pre-
vent even the appointment of special
Officers to maintain; order at Fourth
of July celebrations and similar at
fairs. When the argument was con-
cluded there were only scant half
dozen votes favorable to the bill.
The expected opposition to the bin
prohibiting the importation Of armed
upon request OF the governor or legis-
lature, did not develop. It was sent on
it's way to third reading. This is
known as the bill to prohibit the i'm
portation Of strike breakers, though it
is not exactly that.
Argument Over Bible Reading Bib.

Convict Road Bill Will Pass.
The usual argument over permit

propriating 100000 year for main
tanning convicts on roads, came up
for discussion. Graham led the op-
position but he marsha1ed only a

will pass as soon as the house gets

With practically no division the

There is no foot and mouth dts

situation there is not alarming as the

When in Ell Paso also recently,
Mr.. Barnes discussed the situation

that prompt action on the part of the

Up to the Senate.

The question is now up to the sen

august body are not very well pleased
at the position they find themselves

ducked the responsibility and shifted

der and has done so in the face OF
the fact that the senate has already
expressed it's preference for the Nor.
ford minor bill.
1t is predicted that the senate will
substitute the Morford measure for
the Hulse bill and send it back to the
lower body for second time and that
1t will keep this up all session if neces
sary. But this is only a prediction
and may not prove good inasmuch as
many manufacturers in the state are
supporting the anti-cigarette measure
and are urging upon the Legislators the
ACCESSIBILITY of passing total prohibi
ton law.

Make Farmers Light Rigs.

Senator Barnes bill requiring all
vehicles, of every description, TO carry
lights when using the public highways
at night, accorded the upper house a
pleasant afternoon a few days ago,
much to the disgust of the author of
the measure.
This bill is the pet measure Of the
man from Flint and he has been using
great care in steering it past legisla-
tive rocks. If it should pass it would
mean that no farmer, or other citizen
could ride over the roads at night IN
anything from a democrat wagon to
sulky without carrying a light.
Senator Woodwork, in a facetious
mood, moved that the bill be amended
so as to read that lights be carried
on dark nights only. Then another
senator moved that the state dairy
and food commissioner be authorized
to analize light nights and dark nights
and decide what constitutes a dark
night. Before the bill was rescued
Sen. Barnes was almost in tears and
the bill was in rags and tatters but
the senators finally let it go and it is
said to stand an excellent chance OF
passing.

Drinking Cups Wanted.

If Senator Smith, of Nashville, can
have his way, the ordinary citizen
who travels in the common passenger
coaches of the railroads will no longer
be compelled to go thirsty or drink
out of folded newspaper.
Senator Smith has introduced a bill
which will make all corporations, con.
Germs and individuals which provide
drinking fountains either give the pub
lie individual drinking cups or install
bubbling fountains.
Some years ago. the legislature
passed law abolishing the drinking
cup. 1t did this at the request of the
state board Of health. No provision
was made for individual cups, however
and the result was that the railroads
merely threw away their cups and
then filled their tanks with tempting
ice water that no one could get at un.
less they carried private cup OF their
own. In the pullman cars a porter
stands ready to furnish an individual
drinking cup free of charge, but in
the common coaches this luxury is un.
heard of. You either rig up some kind
OF a cup y urself or go thirsty.
To remeuy this Senator Smith pro
posed to require the railroads and
others to either provide sanitary cups
or bubbling fountains.
Senator Smith has introduced an
other bill framed to safeguard the

The fact appears to be that the
lower house was caught napping. 1t
had two measures before it for con
sideration, one of them the Morford
bill which merely forbids the sale of
cigarettes to boys under 81, and the
Hulse bill, which makes it unlawful to
sell cigarettes in the state. The Nor
ford bill had passed the senate and
been favorably reported upon by the
house committee. With the measure
before them the house was ready to
begin consideration Of the question
when Rep. Hulse made a long speech
and pleaded with his colleagues to
substitute his bill. Partly for the
sake Of pleasing Rep. Hulse and part
ly as a joke the house granted the
request, expecting to kill the measure
when it came up on third reading. But
when that time came some Of the men,
bers suffered change of heart and
enough votes were marshalled to send
the bill on to the senate.

Apparently the question of whether
the railroads are to receive an increase
of one-half cent per mile in passen
ger rates is no nearer a settlement
than it was on the day when the mat

out a compromise measure although
what form the compromise would take
no one seems to know. There is also
no assurance that compromise would

islators and so the plan is not develop
ing rapidly.
Figures have been received from the
state railroad commission, however,
showing that should the legislature
authorize the half cent increase that
the annual receipts of the railroads of
Michigan would jump just about four
millions of dollars.
This estimate was given to the SEN
ate by the commission on request in
response to a resolution adopted and
passed some weeks ago.

Lansing, Mich, (SpeciaD For once
at least in the history of the legisla-
ture an anti-cigarette bill has appeared
which seems to be other than a joke
or a hold-up.
Anti-cigarette measures have been
introduced at every session for so
many years that nobody remembers
when the practice began. They grew
into disrepute and were characterized
as "hold-up" measures because on one
or two occasions the authors of the
bills suddenly withdrew their support
and it was rumored that they had
been seen" by the tobacco companies.
Then, too, the measures never got
anywhere and so they were held very
lightly in the estimation of the leg
islature and were held to be a good
joke, but rather suspicious one.
This year has seen a cigarette bill
which prohibits the sale inside the
boundaries of the state Of the paper

and seals of Myrtle Lodge knights
Of Pythias, stated yesterday that ne
gotiations were under way between
the local lodge of Woodmen of the
World and Charles Fraley to build a
new hall for the accommodation of
the Woodmen on Broadway.
The Woodmen have been renting
quarters from the Knights of Pythias
for a number of years. but, as both
lodges have grown in number of
members so rapidly within the past
two years, it becomes imperative that
larger quarters be secured by the
Woodmen.
The WOodmen camp of Ardmore
is by far the largest in the state, and
is amply able financially to build its
own home They have been talking
of doing so for some time. and, ac-
cording to report will soon have their
own quarters.
