SAY UNQUALIFIED
 JUROR FOUND; MAY
 THROW OUT TWELVE
Republican A. p. Leased Wire1

SAN FRANCISCO, May 29.-An al legged unqualified juror was found here today in the box at the murder trial of Mrs Rena Mooney. Counsel for the state. presenting the discovery to the court, demanded that all jurors thus far sworn be dismissed. and new panel be drawn This was ob- iected to by the defense and Superior Judge Emmett Seawen, announced that he would rule Thursday. tomorrow be- ing a holiday.
 No suspicion pointed toward Daniel Kelly. the juror who. according to the showing, should never have been summoned. Neither on the showing in court, did it point anywhere else. Kelly. according to court record was subpoenaed for jury service May 1S. Frank Butler clerk of the court, swore he took Kelly's name from the jury box, whence he drew the whole venire Yet Kellvs name did not ap- pear tonight on the list drawn under the law. from the great register of voters, at the beginning of the year, and only these names are supposed to
 be in the box from which the venires , are taken. The problem tonight was to find how the name got into the box. Twelve sworn jurors had been ob- tained. when Louis Ferrari, assistant district attorney, made his disclosure. The twelve had been sworn as indi- | viduals but not as a whole jury because the California procedure is to get a thirteenth juror who sits as an alter nate in case any of the first twelve are disqualified for illness or like cause.
 Ferrari, in demanding that the en- tire jury be discharged. referred to 1 the accusations of unfairness made concerning the trial of Thomas Moon- ey, husband of the defendant who was
 sentenced to death. Both the trials 1 arose from a bomb explosion here July ] % 1916 in which ten persons were killed. Warren K Billings, also tried

 ment.

 WASHINGTON. May 29.-Reduction of the present high prices the con sumer pays for food, it was announced today, will be one of the first aims of the new food administration which will be created with Herbert c. Hoover at it's head, as soon as congress passes the governments food control legisla- ton.
 This will be undertaken by cutting down the margin between producer and consumer through a system of eXecu- tives under the central administration, each to study means of shortening the speculative chain that handles a par ticular commodity. The first staples to be studied probably will be grain, flour, meat and sugar,
 Stability of prices, MT. Hoover be- lieves, is vital to the successful lower ing of costs to the consumer, both here and abroad. The executives will have under them boards on which will be represented producer. middleman and consumer Their efforts will be in the direction of modification of present trade methods and the stimulation of production.
 The system of executive boards will be one of several divisions into which the administration will be divided. One duty of the executives will be to advise on allied purchasing, which MT. Hoover and government officials hope will be removed from comparative basis.
 The food administration through it's commodity executives will ascertain just what the country can spare in food staples and this will be balanced against the allied demands.
 The food administration, it was said today, will take up it's work determined to aGopt no irretrievable measures. Mir Hoover is convinced that with the cooperation of the people the food problem can be solved with minimum of dislocation. StabiliZation of prices

Scores of interested men and women will rally at more than q score of school houses this evening at 1:30 o'clock for the farm census drive which means so much to Uncle sam in his hour of need.

For that reason thou sands of the earnest men and women in the Salt River valley will attend these meetings as a patriotic duty, for it is the chance they have been looking for to aid in the present war. As an army travels on its belly, so said Napo- leon. the farmers of this section are going to do their share in seeing that their army travels as far and as eff ciently as possible.

NEW YORK STOCKS
Market Exhibits Strength at
Opening, Following Announce.
ment Of Copper Price;
Reacts Quickly.

New York, Sept. 2l.--Following the lead
OF the copper shares, which were stirnu-
lated by the announcement that a price Of
2Shc for the metal had been agreed upon,
the stock market at the opening today gave
the best exhibition of strength since the
turn OF the market came on Wednesday.
A reaction came quickly. however. and the
market was depressed below yesterdays
last figures. Toward the close renewed
strength appeared and the advance was re-
sumed energetically. Total sales were $685..
600 shares.
The price fixed for copper was regarded
as satisfactory, not only because 1t put an
end to fears Of severe falling down In
prices, but because Of the favorable infer.
enees which might be drawn In regard to
the settlement Of similar pending questions.
That the market did not show better suss
tanned styength under the influence of the
announcement probably was due to the fact
that its effect was largely discounted by
the recent rise,
