COMMISSION WILL
 HAVE QUIET TIME
Nothing of Importance Was Scheduled Yesterday to Come Before the
 Commissioners Today

The city commission will meet this morning at 10 o'clock
 Just what the commissioners will talk about was not made public yesterday afternoon-but it seems reasonable that, regardless of the strenuous cam paigning of the members for second term, there will be enough routine to conduct full time session though no real issues may be allowed to stick their turbulent heads above cover.
 There are many who believe that commissioner should be elected to sue ceed MT. Weatherly, while others think it useless to elect a successor for so short time, as his successor to be elected October. 8, will take office on November 1.

Seventeen States Complete IRepublican A. P. Leased Wire

WASHINGTON, June S.-Seventeen states and the District of Columbia had their returns from Tuesdays war reg istration complete tonight when the provost marshal generals office closed, showing a combined registration of 2349, ,256, compared with their census eligible estimate of 2,703,727.
 At this rate something over S5 per cent of the census estimate has been registered and if the other 3l states should show the same ratio of decrease the total registration would be around nine million, or ,264, ,000 below the cen sus figures.
 Officials do not believe, however, that the average of 15 per cent under the estimates will be maintained and hope to see the total well over nine million. With the men now in the mill itary or navy service not required to register deducted from the census fig ures confidence is felt that the record will show comparatively few slackers to be accounted for.
 The total indicated possible exemp- tions reported by the states recorded is 1862, ,467 Of the, total registered, 1852, 565 are white, 449,7T9 are negroes, lgS,I45 exclusive of West Virginia) are aliens, and 3e,965 (exclusive of w est dlltll tIlSliiACS.
 The state included in tonight's fig ures are Arkansas, California. Con- necticut, Delaware, Georgia. Maine, Maryland. Mississippi, North Carolina, Oregon, Rhode Island, South Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia, Washington, Wis consin and West Virginia.
 In a letter to Brigadier General Crowder, the provost marshal general, congratulating him upon the results of the registration, made public today, Secretary Baker said:
 You have done the biggest thing of it's kind we have ever been called upon to try, and you have surrounded it with an atmosphere which not only ere ated the success but made of it stim- ulating demonstration of our national solidarity and patriotism. l am nat urally filled with delight and appre- ciation.'

With three days elapsed since the day of the selective draft registration, only two counties in Arizona nave completed the count of their registra- ton. These counties and the complete registration is as follows:
 Maricopa county. y............. 'o'4l4 Navajo county. y............-..-.. oo1
 In addition to these the registration in the state penitentiary at Florence has been completed and reported as 14S.
 "lne registrars in the county are having much trouble in checking tnelr registration" said Colonel Fred ;. Breen yesterday. In many cases the registration blanks were not properly filled out, and this delay is caused Tn them. l cant say how long it will be before the complete state registration will be in. Word from Cochise county is to the effect that their registration count will not be complete until Sunday.
 "I here has been little difficulty in the state from people resisting regis tration," declared Colonel Breen. sheriff R. F. Mcbride of Stafford, Graham county, has sent in word that seven MeXicans in that county are hiding out having failed to register. Word was sent to the sheriff to round them up.''
 Word has been received at the office of Colonel Breen, disbursing officer for the selective draft, that the war de- partment now has under consideration a tentative draft of the regusatlons cov- ering the recent stage of the execution of the selective service law dealing with the drawing and the exemption.

WHEAT CROP SHORT SO RIGID ECONOMY
 |S NOW NECESSARY
Republican A. p. Leased Wlre]

WASHINGTON, June S.-Americas s 1917 wheat crop, as forecast today by the department of agriculture, will fall far below normal despite prospect for a more than ordinary yield of spring wheat.
 A total yield estimated at 656, 100000 bushels will give the country 16,000,000 bushels more than last years crop, but with the heavy demands from abroad and virtually no reserve store, it will not meet war needs unless the country practices the most rigid economy.
 The department forecast a spring crop of 2S5,000, 900 bushels, big yield, out estimates of winter wheat produc- ton give a crop of only 373010 900 bushels, 7,000,0 900 more than was fore cast from the May 1 condition, but sulll Tar from the normal yield.
 Herbert c. Hoover, wno will be food administrator under the food control bill pending in congress, estimates the allies needs this year at 1000, 900, 900 bushels of grain, most of it to come from the United States and Canada
 inc short wheat crop means this coun- try will have to cut it's wheat con- sumption II IL eNpOIlS any WHedt, Slflce the United States itself normally uses more than 6O00O0,O0 bushels. At the
 beginning of 1916 there were 164, 900, 900 bushels on hand carried over from the
 previous years record crop.
 some renef is seen in the better
 showing this year in the forecasts of rye, which will be a record crop; oats
 and barley. A large corn crop. is ex-
 pected.
 Winter wheat last fall was planted on one of the largest acreages ever re- corded, but severe winter conditions ,aused almost one third of the area to be abandoned. The crop came through the winter in poor condition and the April forecast was only 430 1000, 00( bushels. Mays forecast showed a re- duction of 64,000,000 bushels. Today's forecast, based on June 1 conditions els over May with total of 373000, JOG bushels. The final out-turn may be lbove or below that figure. Spring wheat, the June report shows was planted on an area almost as large as that of 1915, when a record crop Of | 352 900, 900 bushels was grown. The condition of the crop on June was almost two points below the To- year average, indicating a production of only 2S3,000,000 bushels With fav- | orable growing conditions the produc tion may reach greater proportions by harvest time.

LONDON, June S.-A British trans Atlantic steamer came slowly into her mooring in British port this morning with the most interesting complement of passengers she ever had carried during her years of plying between American and English ports.
 The passenger consisted of the staff of the First Division of the American army that will cooperate with the British and French armies on French soil iE the world war: General 5b!ln J. Jershing and his personal staff and the officers of the general staff. number ing nearly sixty. There also were on board about seventy private soldiers, a clerical force of the same number, score of British officers from Canada, and large party of adventurous civil ians. including several women.
 The ship arrived in an English har- bor late last night, having crossed without encountering any mishap or sighting a hostile craft. When the passengers came on deck on the last morning of the voyage, they found tor pedo boat destroyers escorting them on
