Companion Tells Police.

Arthur Leannarla, 419 9th street south
west, was Barnes companion on the river
trip yesterday, and he returned to the
city from Mount Vernon on an electric
car to tell the police of the affair in time
for them to drag the river for the body
yesterday.
The young men had holiday yester-
day. They were about the city during
the day. and in the afternoon they
boarded the steamer to enjoy ride as
far as Marshall Hall. They were seat
ed on the hurricane deck. and when the
boat was opposite Jones light, Lean
narda told the police, his companion
remarked: I'm going to jump over
board"
Leannarda thought Barnes was jok-
ing, but when the latter started toward
the rail he followed and took hold of
him. He was unable to prevent him
from making the leap, however. and his
friends body quickly disappeared be-
meath the surface of the water. There
we're several women on the deck when
Barnes leaped over the rail, the police
were informed, but none of them wit
messed the tragedy.

Too Late for Boat to Turn Back.

Instead Of rushing to the pilot house
and shouting, Man overheard" it is
stated. Leannarda went to the lower
deck in search of the purser to tell him
Of the affair. The boat had gone such
a great distance after the pa ssenger
leaped overheard, however, that re-
turn was useless.
Lieut. Dean of the harbor precinct
sent members of his force to the scene
of the drowning, and the river was
dragged until dark, but without finding
any trace of the body. Search for the
body was renewed this morning, Lean
narda accompanying the police to point
out the exact location where his COM
panion went down.

CALAGHAN WINS ON
2 CASES DISPUTED
Court Holds That Hunt Erred In
Vetoing Measures Which Wit Be
Operative as Legislature Intended.

PHOENIX, Aug. 9-The decision of
judge Stanford granting the applica-
ton Of Jesse Boyce for a writ af man
damus to compel payment Of claims
by State Auditor Ca11aghan was sign
ed and transmitted to the Auditor
late yesterday afternoon. The court.
announces three general conclusions
of law: First, that the governors
veto Of the repeating clauses where
the amour appropriated was approx
ed is not in eject; second, that the
veto was constitutional as to those
items appropriating money which
were disapproved in their entirety;
and third, that the governors veto of
those sections repailing previous ex-
listing laws, without making a money
appropriation, is sustained.
A care full analysis of the courts de-
cision was at once begun by State Au-
ditor Callaghan and Attorney W. E.
Ryan, who announced last night after
comparing the various sections with
the findings of the court, that the leg
islative appropriations had been sus-
stained in 25 cases in which the gov
ernor had vetoed the repeating
clauses and that the governors veto
had been upheld and the statutory ap-
preparations restored by the ruling in
1o cases.
No decision mad been reached last
night as to whether the case will be
taken up to the supreme court for
further Interpretation. 1t was stated
by Auditor Callagt;1n that a further
conference would be held today. No
decision may be reached in the matter
before tomorrow
Under the terms of the courts de-
cision, there appear to be certain
Inconsistencies, which leave the audi
tor in doubt as to the authority un-
der which he is to pay certain claims.
Among these are the claims relating
to the salary of the state engineer. the
citizen member of the board of con-
troll, and an expense claim of the state
engineering department for books.
The court in its decision directs the
auditor to pay the claims mentioned
under the section of the appropriation
bill, or under the provision of the re-
Vised statutes, 1918. The fact that the
auditor is directed to pay the claims
under either authority, it is stated
leaves him in doubt as to what au-
thority applies to each of the claims.
The action of the court In sustaining
the veto of the governor as ppplied to
certain provisions of section 81, and
not TO others, was another matter con-
sidered carefully 1t the conference
} last night. According to the first

/ Tax rate 1915, 81 cents.
Increase 1915 over 1914, IL cents.
Percentage of increase, 81 1-3.
PHOENEX, Aug. 1.-THE state tax
levy for 1915 was fixed yesterday by
the board of Equalization at 81 cents,
an increas eof 9 IL cents over the
levy last year. The rate this year
provides 100000 for the state school
fund and includes also the appropria-
tions made at the second special ses-
sion of the legislature, amounting to
approximately 100000.
The amount to be raised by taxa
ton this year is $2,265, 723.25, an in
crease of $454,573 over the budget OF
1914. OF this increase about $500, OO0
is needed to take care of deficits, all
of which are provided for by the new
levy.
The net reduction in the assessed
valuation of the state as determined
by the board was $1,S95, $3.50, the bulk
of the reductions having been made
in the valuation of mines and mining
property. The assessed valuation of
the state is therefore approximate.
$4,000, 900.
The boards decision to levy $500
900 for the state school fund was
based on section 2815, Title II, of tn
Revised Statutes, 1913, which pro
vides specifically for the levy of IL
sufficient tax to raise the sum o.
100000 as special fund for schoo.
purposes. The levy providing for the
appropriations made during the Sec
ond special session of the legislature
was based on the provision of the
statutes that there shall be levied a
sum or sums Of money as the legisla-
ture may by law provide and deem to
be sufficient" The appropriation of
approximately 100000 by the second
special session of the legislature was
interpreted by the board as Indication
that the legislature deemed such
sums sufficient. The levy bill, passed
at the first special session was fol-
lowed 50 far as it went but the board
did not consider it necessary meas
ure,and did not hesitate to go beyond
it in view of the specific provisions
of the statutes.
The increase in the amount to be
raised over last year was due In part
to provisions for deficits,all of which
it is stated, will be wiped out by this
levy. The appropriations as made by
the legislature were approximately
the same as last year with the school
fund cut to 100000. The appropria-
ton for the University was increased
somewhat over last year, as was also
the fund for the Flagstaff Normal and
the maintenance of the Tempe Nor
NAL. There had also been an increase
by reason of the power line to be
CONSTRUCTED 70 the prison.
The increase of 9 IL cents in the
state tax levy, and of 4 IL cents in
the county rate, will leave the tax
