THE ATTITUDE OF WALL STREET
 TOWARD WAR :
CAPTAINS OF INDUSTRY EXPECT TO PAY EXCESS PROFITS XES BUT WANT PROSPERITY OF BUSINESS INSURED.

NEW YORK, July 14-The atti- tudc of Wall Street toward the war is summarized in the following state ment by Ben Bryan, of Logan & Bryan, important operators on the Street:
 ''The best of opinion in Wall Street is that the country is near the parting of the ways so far as business pros- poets during the war are concerned.
 Wall Street is not in the doldrums or sulking, but so far as it measures the country's leadership, it feels that within few months the question of whether the war is to be conducted with bounding prosperity as support to excess profit taxes and provide funds for relief work, will be settled.
 ''The two main factors holding back the enthusiasm of industrial leaders are the determination of the exact size and application of the excess profits tax and the settlement of the government attitude towards price hxation and these arc inter-dependent attitudes. Business captains expect to pay big excess profits but they do ask how it is possible to collect $700.- 100000 to S1,OOO,OOO,OOO In excess profit taxes and follow a policy of rigid price fixation."
 The presidents appeal to business men in substance, intimated that fair prices in all the vital necessities must obtain to the public as we'll as the government during the war period. Interpretation of the above suggests that eXorbitant prices accruing to the traffic in the vital necessities will not be tolerated and the same may have a tendency to restrain aggressive bullish efforts in the industrial issues at least while this uncertainty exists.
 While the Wilson dcnunciation of !" SA Pi iC'-ttNlS may SiuSN SO44LS ASai izing in the market, digestion of his proclamation will impress fair mind cd patriots and hasten removal of the uncertainty which has been hanging over the financial world and in the event of reactions suggest buying of selected is sues.
 Steel men have agreed to place their products under control of the gov crnmcnt during the period of the war. Secretary Daniels considers it a most satisfactory settlement of the question.

3,472 MEN DUE DRAFT FROM
 ARIZONA
THIS STATES QUOTA IN NEW WAR ARMY IS FIX E D; INVESTMENTS TO BE CREDITED TO EACH STATES QUOTA.

WASHINGTON, July 13.-Formal announcement was made by the war department today that S7,000 men will be selected from those registered on June , for the first national war army and to fill up vacancies in the national guard and the regular army.
 The quota of men which Western States will be required to furnish fol- lows: Arizona, 3,472; California, 23,- 060; Colorado, 4,753; Idaho, 2,2& Nevada, 1,05l; New Mexico, 2,292; Texas, 30,545; Utah, 2,370.
 The table from which the net quotas were compiled shows that all enlistments in the national guard and the regular army up to June 30 have been allowed as credits.
 Contrary to expectations the gov ernment has allowed credit for the total strength of the national guard including all those men who were in the service prior to April 1 and who have been retained. The figures are given as follows:
 Total strength of the national guard on April l, 1917, 164,292.
 Enlisted in the national guard be- tween April l and June 30, 1S3,719.
 Enlisted in the regular army be- tween April l and June 30, 117,oS4 Total credits allowed 465,9S5.
 This means that according to the estimates of the government officials the United States now has under arms approximately 467,000 men classed as volunteers and therefore constitute credits to be allowed to the States from which they enlisted

SILVER REACHES
 HIGHEST PRICE IN YEARS
(From Wednesdays DaiiyO

The highest price silver has reach cd in nearly quarter of century was that of yesterday when the New York quotation was 79Il cents an ounce.
 This established a record which was favorably commented upon by mining men of this section, and particularly so by those who are following this special line of development, those operators were also jubiiant in whose mines the silver content ;s rated as a by-product.
 Many old silver mines that have resumed in this field in recent years are proving d stimulating agency for quite large capital to enter, and old fields inactive since carly days arc again wheeling into line. Dollar Sil- yer is now predicted inside of six months, and this feature of mining IS attracting many to the old camps by the ready returns to be given with limited capital invested.

 Dr. L. c. Lewis, president of the Black Chief Copper Co.,, which in re- cent years has carried out an exten- sivc line of exploration, returned from the camp in Black Hills ycster- day, after several days spent in in spccting the work, and stated all ar engagements had been perfected for re- stunning at once. The obstacle 10 this property was difficult communication, he stated, but this is to be relieved Quite large sum has been voted by the board of directors to construct a new wagon road out to Ash creek, distant six miles, and this inlet will be the initial movement of large op- erations in the mine.
 Accompanying Dr. Lewis was A. Cole, director. Both are from Lake Charles, La.
 The number of shareholders of the company is limited and all are from the Southern States.
 Their consulting engineer, B. C.. von Rocder, of Houston, Texas, also inspected the property, and it is pre- sumcd he made favorable recommen- dations.
 The Black Chief is situated in what has been determined in recent years as the bonanza belt of the Jerome copper field, and intermittent dcvel- opmcnt during the past five years has placed the property among the better known holdings. Prescott is to be the shipping point for large line of ma tcrial and supplies.

RAID VICTIMS
 ARE TURNED LOOSE
(From Saturdays Daily.)

All five of the suspects held follow ing Thursdays raid on the sons oi rest in the plaza, were released yes tcrday after further investigation into their cases. The city satisfied itself that the men had been properly tag ged, so that if it wants them, it will know where to go to find them.
 A great decrease in the cloud of hot air that has been rising off the plaza since the United States got into the war, has been noticed since the au- thorities determined on a course oi rigid investigation of alleged treason able discussions. The scare that has been thrown into the idlcrs has hu- manized them, it is thought, to large extent.
 Arthur Smith, the young German whose explanation on his first exam ination, was not regarded as satisfac- tory, was turned loose yesterday with instructions to report to the city mag istrate every other day while he re- mains in the city. Smiths looks be- lied tine age he gave, and earned him a night in the city jail.
 Early yesterday morning, another raid was carried out by attaches of the shcriff's office. Seven men were caught in the dragnct and submitted to a searching examination. All pro- vided suitable excuses, and were dis charged By a series of frequent and systematic raids, the authorities arc confident they can keep the dangerous element wecded out. and so impress some of the other hoaters that they will either seek less disturbed quarters elsewhere. or turn their energies to something more productive than sit ting on the plaza all day long, cusSing the government.
