TAX COMMISSION
 IS REORGAN|zED
Charles R. Rowe Becomes Chairman for New Term; Secretary Boyce
 Is Re-eected.

Acting under the provision of the law that the member having the shortest term shall serve as chair
 man, the tax commission yesterday
 chose Charles R. Howe for that posi- ton for the new term. Howes term as commissioner expires January 1. 1917.
 Whether Commissioners Zander and Campbell are both to serve for six
 four-y term Is a question that has not been definitely decided. The law providing for appointments states that "all subsequent incumbents of said office shall be elected at general elections, and shall serve for six years" It was the intention of the framers of the law, it is said, that all members should serve for a six year term, but whether the courts will place this interpretation upon
 the rather ambiguous wording of the law remains to be seen It is not likely however that any action will be taken in the matter in the near 1 future as both Zander and Campbell are sure of at least a four-year term In connection with the reorganiza- i tion of the commission, Jesse Boyca was reelected secretary, and Miss | Stella Benenato, clerk. Their re- | election was recognition of eff
 fees for the past two years

CORNER
 GRIEF TANNED
Visitor Takes Phoenix to Task for Bad Street Car Crossings on Some Main Corners Sample of Wild wood Trails

Far away in the deserts, or high up in the mountains, one drives autos, rides motorcycles, and on rare occas- ions rides bicycles, all with the firm determination not to be too highly peeVed with the ruts and bumps The Wallops that the trail donates are taken as a matter of course and accepted philosophicallY. In some cases, when the road is too bad, the rider or driver gets together with himself and makes some preparation to have it fixed.
 Off two or three of the paved street corners of Phoenix, there exist little, but maddenng samples of the rough going that is so easily endured in the wild outdoors. Washington street and Central avenue celebrate their meeting down by the National Bank of Arizona building, with a set of cart track eXca- Vations that leave no one any doubt as to the location. It is as though the streets desired everyone to remember the fact that the intersect on what is unofficially designated as the main cor her of the capital city of Arizona.
 Motorists and motorcyclists have been very patient with these bumps. No loud outcTy has been made again-t the careless of the man or men whose duty it is to preserve the serene and undisturbed condition of Phoenix bitu- lithic But yesterday, a man from Chi cago noticed the bumps with a scath- ing remark or two He had been quite faVorablv impressed with the moaern- ness of Phoenix-her paved streets, or namental lights, real quality stores, II rdsome Structures-all of them.

BECKER MAY REVEAL
NAMES OF SIX MEN
WHO DIVIDED GRAFT
Convicted Murderer Ex-
pected to Tell Of Identity
of Higher Ups" Behind
New York Strong Arm
Squad.

NEW YORK, July 3.--Charles Becker,
in the death house at Sing Sing, will
reveal before he goes to the electric chair
the names of the Police Department Of
flcials, living and dead, with whom he
divided the $4,000 graft money that was
wrung from the gamblers and illegal
resort keepers in his violent career as
commander of the strong arm squad
That was the prediction made yester-
day by the condemned mans lawyer.
Martin T. Manton, who gave to the Gov
ernor on Thursday the names of six men
who worked In the background and took
the cash that Becker ground out of evil
doers. Not all of these men are living.
but those that are alive ought to be shak-
ing in their shoes, according to Mr.. Man
ton, because Becker is desperate now
that hope is virtually gone
The lawyer himself would not make
public the names of the officials accused
by Becker. He said he was bound not
only by the ethics of his profession and
his promise to Governor Whitman, but
was restrained also by the possibility that
some of the men named by Becker might
be falsely accused. He is certain, how
ever that ltlNtllub W Ntllt anu GA
plains that Becker is swayed mostly by
the feeling that he doesn't want other
men to be used as tools and then cast
aside when they are no longer useful and
merely dangerous.
IT am convinced" said Mr.. Manton
last evening, that Charles Becker will
give to the public the Information that
he gave to Governor Whitman through
me last Thursday. l wish 1 could publish
the names myself. II ought to be done
in the interest of justice. The Governor
ought to do 1t, but Of course that is his
business. l may not oriticise him.
But Becker will make a clean breast
of the grating. He will issue a state
ment, not for money. but for the pur-
pose of justly dividing the guilt of graft.
He doesn't want to die, IL die he must,
and leave on earth set OF men who
might use others as he has been used.
A large amount has been offered to
him to make a statement that could be
published by one newspaper alone. He
has refused that offer. When he is
ready to talk, he will talk for all the
newspapers and all the people,"
