licans be allowed to be made parties
to the suit, and some time was neces-
sary in order to permit the attorneys
representing Reuben Anderson to take
dispositions of the clerk and assistant
clerk Of the state senate. He said
that after this had been done 1t re-
CURED some time to consider and dis
pose OF the matter coming up as it did
in connection with other court busi-
ness. Further delay Of nearly two
weeks was caused by the serious Ill
ness OF Judge Raymond.
In discussing the demurrer filed by
the Republican attorneys asking for a
dismissal on the ground that an in,
junction was not the proper method
to secure redress for hardships alleg-
ed, Judge Raymond defined the term
demurrer and declared that in his
opinion the injunction proceedings
was the only method proper in this
case, He said a writ Of prohibition
could not be issued in this case be-
cause such writ was only applicable
as a means of getting superior court
to restrain an inferior tribunal. The
legislature, Judge Raymond said, was
a branch of the government coordin-
ate with the courts.
Judge Raymond reviewed the case
from the time last June when Con-
gresham Nicely and State Senator
Lowe brought injunction proceedings
asking the court to restrain Mayor
Anthony Bowen and the other city
commissioners from calling an cleo
ton under the model charter on the
ground that the charter is unconsti-
tutional.
He told OF the efforts OLA. s. Elem
ing and other Republicans to be made
parties 10 the suit aolng with Mayor
Bowen and other Democrats and Of
the action Of the Supreme Court which
finally resulted in the granting Of
their petition.

The International Typographical

their effect on labor. The commission
claims that vocational training schools
are at variance with the ethics OF
good craftsmanship when they teach
the technique OF the trade before the
pupil has had thorough academic in

TAG DAY RETURNS
 VERY SATISFACTORY
Committees Will Return to Work or July 4, When Memorial Day
 Records Will Be Under Fire

Greatly pleased with the results of the Memorial Day tag selling cam paign for raising funds for the sil yer service that is to be Arizona's gift to the battleship Arizona the committee is now planning on the second tag day for July 4.
 The flying squadron of young wo- men who so ably assisted the dis trict leaders, will most all be enlisted for the coming work. At that time many of the saleswomen will go out to beat the two records set by Miss Tina Brown for selling $50 worth of tags in a day and by Miss Sophia Robbins, who turned in the largest amount tS10) any tag bought during the campaign.
 It was at first announced that the top tag had brought but a dollar, but later returns showed a number that brought five and two dollars, be- side Miss Robbins record tag.
 If the results all over the state were as satisfactory as they were in Phoenix, the battlship fund is now beyond the nest-egg stage, and well or it's way toward the total of about s3,000, which the silver service will cost.

Hitchcock has lately declared that he had had conversation with him or with any representing him. It is therefore suspected that Hitchcock has real interest in the campaign of Hughes except for the opportunity that may be given him to dispose of the Hughes vote.
 The last statement from the justice to the effect that consideration of his in violent disregard of his wishes. His secretary afterward reported have said that receipt of the that Justice Hughes had carried Oregon, he not interested. And it will not add to MT. Hughes mental pleasure told that the Old Guard leaders have been using his name, not because they want him nominated but because they want it buffer against the colonel One of the overpowering worries of the the Hughes boom had escaped their control They have something else worry about.
 In all the confusion that will occur at Chicago, unless there and unexpected developments lies the opportunity of the friends of Colonel Roose welt. In the chaos which is much than probable there will loom up the figure of the colonel whose nomination would easily settle the whole There is talk that the colonel and his friends will dictate the republican convention resolution preparedness At least the resolution will be sub mitted him. If this should be done the delegates will naturally gravely consider whether they should take as their candidate the whom they willing listen the most important issue of the party.

Roosevelt Loominu Up

A. careful Washington correspondent more than a week reported the general political situation as Hughes leading the race with Roosevelt looming up' The status of the Roosevelt movement has so changed since that report that the words looming up' are hardly adequate to describe it. Many things have occurred within a week.
 Two weeks ago the correspondents at the capital were almost unanimous in saying that the was nearly if not quite of the running But there has been a shift in his favor almost every day since From now until the convention meets rapid and sud- den changes likely. A reaction at any time in favor of Roosevelt and against as ,ne other candi- dates may be expected.
 No one knows the status of the Hughes campaign. Apparently it has directing force No one knows whether Justice Hughes would accept the nomination if it offered to him. No one has yet been authorized to speak him. It was supposed that Frank H. Hitchcock, who is looking after his interests at Chicago-perhaps have used the word interests inadverently-had some inside informa ton regarding the attitude of the justice But Mir.

Lands for Good Roads

Representative Hayden has introduced in the house another bill in aid of good road building in this state. It proposes to grant to the state million acres of the public lands on the same terms the grants of the enabling act the proceeds of which be used in the construction, repair and mainten- of public roads and highways. These lands to be selected by the land department within three years after the passage of the act.
 The state however would not be under the restrictions imposed by the enabling act. the disposition of the lands granted for good roads purposes for much six sections could be sold same individual association corporation. The minimum price, B acre. is the that fixed by the enabling

ing additional troops to join Persh ing columns or dispatching new ex- petitions in pursuit Of raiders, such as those at Glenn Springs provided his men followed a hot trail"
 General Scotts telegraphic reports show clearly the progress of the con- ference from day to day. Officials noted that the new note attributed it's interpretation. in part at least, to Sub secretary Amador. rather than to General ObregOn. Amador was not present at all of the meetings of the cOnferees.
 General Scott stated today that the general trend of his understanding with Obregon provided that Persh- ing's force would move slowly north of San Antonio, MeXica. His state ment was made in connection with the conference expected tomorrow between General Pershing and Cav ira, the latter commanding the Mex ican forces in Pershing's immediate vicinity General Funston has au thority, it was learned, to dispose his forces in any way he sees fit north ol sodH AHtOHlO. oHouIu tlSHlllS suggest a further retirement after the conference, it could be ordered without reference to Washington, al though it is doubtful that such a step will be taken.
 Officials made it very plain. how ever, that the Columbus expedition, referred to in the Mexican note as "interned in the state of Chihuahua, ' can be withdrawn from Mexico only on President Wilson's orders.
 The thinly yelled threat in the note that failing withdrawal after due ex- change of views between Washington and Mexico City American forces in Mexico might be forcibly elected is given little credence Every precau ton has been taken to insure the safety of General Pershing's column. Officials are somewhat at loss to understand why the note was left in 1 the form in which it was written al | through the Boquillas expedition had been withdrawn before it was de- livered There can be no doubt that General CarranZa knew that it had
 come out of Mexico when he directed that the communication be presented l late last night. Yet much of the ar gument in Shis note hinges on the de-
 mand that this force retire. Appar-
 ently Carranza himself was in doubt 1 as to the course to pursue up to the
 last minute According to the em-
 bassy here Mir Arredondo was not 1 even informed that note had beer
 prepared or that it had been sent tt
 Washington until the cable dispatch
 reached Mendez.
 Regarding the statements of tht
 note as to the embargo on war sup. plies. there has been no effort t' disguise the fact that the United
 States was not disposed to permi

command said men in the uniforms of Carranza soldiers did the firing that cost several American lives.
 It was a fact that opinions of hos tility had been expressed by several commanders and warning was given that any attempt to move south of Parral would meet armed opposition by CarranZa troops.
 It was such considerations that inn pelled officials to place an informal embargo on war supplies as ship ments must pass through unsettled territory to reach any command com posed of Mexican regulars under re sponsible officers. The new note probablye will increase precautions in this respect rather than lessen them.
