FEW MEMBERS
 IF EDDY ARE
 IN THE C|TY.

The governorship contest contlnu- ing over until next week leaves one Arizona legislature in the position of a cart with two horses, and probably with the horses pulling in opposite d. Tections. When it became known yes terdav that the supreme court had an nounced it would render no decision on the motion of Hunt attorneys to strike out parts of the Campbell complaint this morning, there was revived the knotty problem of which of two mes sages the legislature will recognize Monday, when the lawmakers meet There seems to be several courses open to the solons-they can accept either one or the other or neither.
 So few of the members of the house and senate had shown up yesterday it was impossible to get a line on what action might be taken. There. have been no caucuses. These important pre- organization meetings will proba- bly, be held either today or tomorrow, if at all The legislature may meet in formally and decide to come together Monday solely for the purpose of con forming to the law, and then adjourn.
 Hunt and Campbell each made sub stantial gains in yesterdays inspection, according to the inspectors and watch CTS. Hunt men claimed to have added IS ballots to his total in Cochise county. Both Hunt and Campbell men admitted gain for Campbell of IA in two Gila precincts, with another claim of Campbell workers of 10 additional. These claims were based on the result of the inspection up to 4:3o yesterday afternoon.
 Navajo county was not finished, as the inspectors all thought it would be. 1.r- E-r-if1 t- Js lzr county not yet counted, and in addi- ton there are parts of Navajo, Cochise and Gila. It is thought likely that the inspection will last beyond Monday and may require until Tuesday evening Co conclude.
 The unofficial report on Gila county. so far as it had been inspected yester- day, showed net gains for Campbell of 3 in Hayden, 10 in Miami and one in one of the smaller precincts. mak- ing total of 24. One of the Cochise boards had apparently had purist ten dencies, and had laid aside a number of ballots, amounted and ticketed void" They bore distinguishing marks such as have been passed by most of the other election boards. but which are now being claimed one way and another by the inspectors. Hunt may count for himself the larger part of these votes
 The executive offices continued in action during the day. One, in the state house, was occupied by MT. Hunt. i The other, esta olished at the residence of MT. Campbell, was kept open yester- day, in charge of Malcolm Fraser, whose term as secretary to Governor Campbell Is also in question, as it has been said he is ineligible, not being citizen of the state

POUCE SATISFIED LEWIS WAS
 SLAYER IF ARTISTS MODEL

wife in Pittshurg. felled the model with a blow from blunt instrument and fled after strangling her with q silk stocking. The police investigation now has narrowed down to the motive for the crime, and while the general belief of the detectives is that Lewis was temporarily embarrassed financially and may have been driven to strangle the young woman to secure funds, the supposition that his mind was tempor- arily unbalanced is also given credence
 A costly diamond ring belonging to the slain girl, the gift of another ad- mirer, is still missing.
 Some of the circumstances pointing to Lewis as the slayer, as indicated by the police. were: his possession of a blood stained handkerchief: strands of hair clutched in the dead girls hand matched that of Lewis; he wore a womans silk undershirt said to be a duplicate of others found in Miss Col berts room: his hands were scratched as though a struggle had preceded the crime; his shirt and collar were the same size as the blood stained shirt and collar found in the girls apart ment. a curtain cord similar to one torn from her apartment was found among Lewis effects: in a memoran- dunn book in his pocket was card bearing Miss Colbert's telephone num- Der and he was identified by Elmwood Powell as the man he had driven in a taxicab to Miss Tolberts apartment the night the murder is believed to have occurred.
 Lewis presence at the victims fun eral yesterday was reported by two women rourners who declared they recognized the picture and description of the suicide.

 The first preliminary to the institu- tion of the new order is the formation of the projected council of state, as ii is impracticable to go ahead with the election of q regent or king or with the adoption of d constitution until the organization representing the Pol ish people is in existence officially to express it's wishes regarding the per son of the regent or king or to approve the constitution.
 Various difficulties incident to the organization of the council have been or are being overcome and the an nouncement of the formation of the council is expected within few days The council probably will be presided over by M. Lempick. former member of the duma, and other members prob ably will be Prince Radziwill Prince SzaTtoryski and Count Roniker
 Pending the settlement of the new order no progress has been made in recruiting a Polish army.
 The delays and deficiencies in the formation of the new kingdom have cast a decided damper on the'enthusi- asm for the project in Germany and has encouraged the conservatives and the elements opposed to Chancellor von Bethmann- HollWeg, who from the be- ginning has been opposed to the idea, to sharp criticism of the wisdom of proclalming the kingdom at this time.
