ercised in a Maricopa county case in several years.
 This morning will witness the con- cluson of the recount on Stafford No. 1, and possibly the announcement of the first ruling of the court on q ballot over which there has been contention. Today therefore is likely to prove high ly important in that it may bring de- cisions on the manner of awarding dis pUited ballots of several of the fifty diff ferent varieties.
 In beginning the case, prior to the inspection December F, Ives. counsel for Hunt, alleged in his bill of particu lars that in each and every precinct of each and every county in the state, there had occurred irregularities in the count which would more than overtop Campbell'S official lead of 30 votes. In beginning the actual recount yesterday, Ives cut down his figures somewhat, and asked for only ten precincts. but with the intimatiOn that he would bring in others later.
 There prevails an idea that on the conclusion of the precincts specified by Ives. the cast must stop. as he is the plaintiff in the action. This is not so; {; Campbell attorneys will have the right Co secure the attention of the court to any or all other precincts Presuming that in the ten and additional precincts specified by Ives, a Hunt gain is shown, large enough to displace the Campbell official lead; Campbell can then all lese that deviations occur in other counties that will. in turn, balance the Hunt gains.fand the recount can pro- cced until every ballot has been passed upon by the court.

throughout the intermission there was piodisious hunt among the authori- ties. II was contcnded on the part ot the chairman that the MattoX amendment had killed the WinSor mo- tion. so that the presentation of tho later would have been time wasting mockerl. On the other side, it was coHtended that the Wineor amendment WAS entitled tC that degree of mock cry because it was regular
 When the committee sat in the afternoon a new angle of the dispute was presented. l. was claimed that the motior to lay on the table was not amendable; that. of course was plain. Put on the other hand it was conteDded that there he'd been no motion to lay on the table, but only d re, or, me nuatiOn to the senate t. lay the amendment on the table. Finally. in order to bring the dispute to q head, an appeal was tahen from the decision of the chair. which was overrued; and thus new rule was established or an old one confirmed. This left the stringent amendment in the air anG no effort was then made to recover il. A motion to recommend the passage of the bill prevailed

 Misleading Advertising
 Another important matter before the senate committee of the whole was Senator Halls Printers Ink" hi + ,t; the adyertisig of fake worthless or doubtful mining stocks. All the sen- ators were of the same mind con- corning the purpose Of the bill only they wished that it might be made stronger. But it appeared to cover every possible kind of misrepresenta- ticn. The bin had defined violations of it as misdemeanors. MT. Ruther- ford proposed to amend it, defining the crime as felony. There were two objections. It was feared that that would make it more difficult to secure convictions. and then 1t seemed that simple misrepresentation, such as merchant might make concerning his goods, would hardly deserve so serere punishment as would attend q felony But nothing could be 100 hard on wild cat promoters.
 It was finally decided to meet the case hy sliding scale Of penalties and a new section was added making the offense of violation an indictable misdemeanor, with a penalty of from six months in the county jail to tWu years. or fine of from $100 to $1,000 1 or both Ir this form the committee unanimously recommended the passage of the bill
