HUNT, GOVERNOR
Of ARIZONA, SAYS
SUPREME COURT
Long Contest for Office of
Chief Executive Of State Isl
Finally Settled; Campbell
Yields.
10y MORNING JOURNAL SPECIAL LEASED w,Rsl

Phoenix, Ariz,, Dec. 22.--The su-
creme, court today seated 6. W. p
Hunt as governor Of Arizona. The de-
'ision OF the court was unanimous.
Fifteen days were allowed attorneys
of Thomas E. Campell, incumbent of
be office, whose election Hunt con-
tested, to file an appeal. Governor
Hunt Is democrat.
Owing to the fact that there is no
Arizona statute specially governing
election contests of this character,
the courts were without statutory
guidance.
Fifteen days is the time allowed by
the supreme court for appeal from its
decision No further action, however,
will be taken by retiring Governor
Campbell.
MY next appeal will be to the peo-
pie of the state of Arizona, said Gov
einor Campbell in a statement issued
following the decision.
The decision handed down today
reverses the court below and finds
that Hunt was elected and is entitled
to all of the emoluments of the office
for the term beginning January /,
1917. Campbell has served as de
facto governor for eleven months and
three weeks without salary. The sta te
auditor refused to issue warrants for
the salary of the governor pending the
iecisions but has issued warrants for
the salaries OF his appointees.

London, Dec. 22.-The meager news
reports from Petrograd indicate Sc
rious division in the peasants con-
gress which has been in session there
for fortnight. The right wing, led
by M. Tichernoff, insists that all
powers shall be given to the constitu-
ent assembly, which will decide upon
peace, the land question and other
reforms, while the left is dominated
by the soldiers and workmens dele
gates. The latter take the position
that the soldiers and workmen's dele
gates should be given authority above
that of the constituent assembly.
No Agreements Found.
All attempts to heal the breach have
failed. The left wing has a slight ma
jority.
Officers of the Baltic fleet have
adopted resolution protesting against
the latest reform which places the SUI
preme command of the fleet in the
hands of the body of elected sailors
and makes all posts elective. The
resolution of protest declares that the
reform If carried out will paralyze the
fleet and prevent peace on a demo-
cratic basis because to impotent Rus

Pasadena, Calf, Dec. 22.-The
treasury department will adopt the
plan used by Pasadena in carrying on
the last liberty loan campaign. State
ment to this effect was made today by
j. b. Coulston, chairman of the Pasa-
lena liberty loan committee.
Mr.. Coulston has just returned from
Washington, where he was called to
attend a conference to outline plan
for the next liberty loan campaign.
The Pasadena plan was presented by
Nh Coulston and was adopted practi-
cally as outlined by him as the scheme
to be put into operation throughout
the country when the next drive is
launched in February.
Seven Billion Next Time.
The next Liberty loan will probably
call for $1,000, 900, 600 to be either
raised in one or possibly two cam
paigns. This point has not been defi-
nitely decided. If two drives are
made Mr.. Coulston thinks the first
will be in February and the second
probably in April or May
The Pasadena plan is as follows
First, a series of public meetings at
which the liberty loan is discussed

Washington. Dec. 22.-The story of
the invention and development of the
famous Lewis machine gun and the
disappointing efforts of the inventor
to persuade the United States govern
ment to accept ii without cost, was
told in dramatic fashion today by the
inventor himself-Col Isaac n. Lewis,
u. s. A., retired, testifying in the SEN
ate military committees investigation
Of the army
With an occasional show of heat,
Colonel Lewis related his controversy
with General Crozier, chief of ord
nance, whom he severely assailed, de-
MED that he first offered his inven-
tion to the British government de-
tailed repeated tenders of his patents
to the government, with his profits
aggregating millions of dollars, and
told of the success with which his
weapon has been used by nearly all
of the allies.
Checked by Committee.
AT times Colonel Lewis was so Sc
zier and the war department that
committee members stopped him, say
ing he was 'too loquacious and de-
sultory' and was letting his feelings
run away

mony President A e. Borie, OF the

make the Lewis gun, also told of the
refusal of the war department to
adopt the Lewis gun and the achieve
ments of that weapon. Both he and
Colonel Lewis predicted that suffi-
cient numbers of the new Browning
gun, adopted by the war department,
would not be available for the Amer
lean forces. Other manufacturers
have testified that the production
would be sufficient,
At the conclusion Of Mr.. Borie's tes-
timony the committee adjourned over
Christmas, It plans to resume exam
ination next Wednesday of Quarter
master General Sharpe regarding the
clothing, cantonment, transportation
and other questions.
Even last June I went to the pres
