NOXON GETS FOUR
 MONTHS AND FINE
(Prom Fridays Daily.)

A. B. Noxon, who having fallen for two sets of imported detectives made the boast to a third pair of sleuths that he could spot a dick a mile away, got his name on the minutes of the Superior court for the last time yesterday, when Judge Smith pronounced the sentence that has been held up since last year, pending settlement of the Mo Yaen appeal to the Supreme court.
 Noxons case had similar clements in it, and until the matter was adjudi- cated down in Phoenix, his sentence has, from time to time, been contin- ued on the calendar.
 Judge Smith imposed a jail term Of four months and a fine of S250 at the rate of 8 day in one of the two cases. Sentence on the other charge was continued until September ,. 1917, at which time, the four months term will be complete. Good be- haviour during the next third of a year may secure the dismissal of the remaining case, it was intimated.

cost of the inspection should be borne by the party instituting the contest.
 Former Governor Hunt had given a bond for that cost which had after ward been raised to the present figure, S6,000 As to other costs, the court decided that each side should pay its own. IL is estimated that the costs, other than those of inspection, amount 10 the sum of S45.000.
 Since last Saturday there had been a noticeable lack of confidence in tho camp of the former governor. That was shown in the countcnances of the attorneys and those in their conf dence There was corresponding sign of exaltation in the appearance of the Campbell crowd and even Chairman Maddock of the Republican State committee, who throughout has been sphinxlike, appeared to smell victory in the near distance. There is a Statewide disposition to give Mir Aladdock large measure, the leonine share, of credit for the outcome, the result of untiring vigilance of the progress of the recount which at all stages was within his grasp. It was doubtful whether anyone else in the State understood quite so clearly just how the count stood at all times.
 It appeared on Monday, when il was understood a decision would probably be given, that the attorneys for the contestant were not ready to hear it that day. There was an ap- parent stalling the next day against the decision and once this afternoon in the process of trying to bring order out of the chaos of undetermined bal lots, one of the attorneys for the contestant suggested that the matter might go over until tomorrow morn ing. But Judge Stanford quickly stat ed that the case must end before an, other sunrise.

PRESIDIO OPENS MAY
 IA, WORD OF OFFICER
CFrom Fridays Daily.)

Thirtv-two candidates who qualified before Major w. F. McCreary for entrance to the reserve officers train ing school at San Francisco, will be notified on May to report at the Presidio by May l4, according to telegrams received here yesterday.
 It is inferred from the contents of the messages that all the men exam ined in Prescott have been accepted. It is also inferred from the fact the recruiting officers were hauled off the job by wire Tuesday that the Presidio quota of 2.500 men has been rapidly raised, and that applications are in excess of the capacity of the training school
 Two more local men have been added to the list of Major McCreary, published in Tuesday and Wednes- days editions of the Journal-Miner They arc Harry Shumate and Ray Belcher.
 Most of the local candidates expect to leave for San Francisco early next week. Some of them promised to show up before the school opens on May IA. and assist in preparing for the opening.

(From Fridays Daily.)

Associated with the annual convo- cation of the Episcopal Church of Arizona, held here during this week, has been the diocesan meeting of the : Woman's Auxiliary to the board of missions.

This resolution also fixed the status Of appointive deputies and clerks in the various county departments and set their salaries.
 The plaintiffs do not allege that the law is unconstitutional They merely believe that the statute in the light of the constitutional provision relative to changes in salary, is not applicable durings terms of office. If so, then the salaries of elective officers cannot be changed until January l, 1919 when the next terms begin.
 When passed upon by the court Of final jurisdiction, the case will deter mine the applicability of the county act as regards all elective officers, including Superior judges, whose salaries are paid half by the counties and half by the State Of the Is Superior court judges in Arizona, all but five are materially in terested in the suit The salaries of five are not changed by the county act
 Judge Smith of the local court. has not had any salary from the county since the new warrants were drawn. He desired to be strictly within the law in this matter, and declined to ac- cePt payment in the increased amount. As a result, his county warrants have not been cashed. State Auditor Jesse Boyce, acting for the protection oi his securities, has consistently refus. cd to honor the enlarged warrants.
 Bondsmen of the boards of super visors not being liable for overpay- ments on the part of the officials, the local board passed the resolution, knowing that it would be contested.

 PROTECTION
THOSE AUTHORIZED TO SELL STOCK ARE PRO- VIDED WITH PERMIT BY THE ARIZONA CORPOR- ATION COMMISSION.
(From Fridays Daily.)

Taking advantage of the liberality of the press, the Arizona corporation commission is now sending broad cast over the State a warning to the
 people not to be imposed upon by
 stock salesmen, and calling the atten, ton of residents of the State to the fact that their greatest protection from men with fake promotion schemes lies in the public assisting the commission in upholding the blue sky law.
 + every person who is approached by stock salesman would take the proper precautions, wild cat and fake promotion schemes would be wiped out in Arizona in six months time. The corporation commission stands ready to see that the law is enforced ! in every respect, but the assistance and cooperation of the public is an essential requirement..
 In the first place every investment company, whether domestic or for eign, that offers its securities in the form of stocks or bonds for sale to the public must secure a permit SO to do from the corporation commits sion. Precedent to the issuance of such permit the commission con- ducts an investigation into the affairs of the company and if the commission is convinced that the plan of opera ton IS fair and equitable. stock sell ing permit is issued Companies of fering their securities to the public without such permit are doing so in violation of the law.
 The commission orders every com- pany granted permit to supply each stock salesman with a copy of the permit with instructions to submit this permit to every person who is asked to purchase stock. If sales man approaches you and offers to sell you stock in any company and does not give you copy of the commits sion's stock selling permit he is vio- lating the provisions of the permit and should be immediately reported to the commission. The reading of this permit offers a certain degree of protection to the public, for in it the commission generally sets out in de- tail not only the plans of the company but list of the property it owns and its other tangible assets. From this the prospective purchaser can very often get better idea of the things behind company than he could by listening to a stock salesman.
 In one or two instances the atten- ton of the commission has been called to the fact that stock salesmen have made the statement that their com Dany or its stock selling proposition had the endorsement of the corpora ton commission. This is untrue in every instance. The permit issued by the commission is permissive only and in no case does it constitute an endorsement of the merits of the proposition submitted. It merely means that the plan of operation ap- pears equitable on its face This IS so stated on the permit
 The Arizona blue sky law is a . good one and has been of consider able value 10 the investing public in recent years Its value in the future can be greatly enhanced if the in- vestors would but realize that their greatest protection lies in its strict

LIGHTED CROSS
 FOR M. E. CHURCH
(From Fridays Daily.)

The Vyne Bros Electric Company is erecting for the trustees of the Methodist church an electric, revolv- ing cross, the first of its kind in Ari- zona. When completed it will form a distinct attraction and prove an ad- dition to the city's illuminations.
 A similar cross on one of the Los Angeles churches was recently in stalled and the beautiful symbolism as it flashed out for the first time its silent message, made a great impress sion upon thousands of beholders.
 The revolving cross is said to be the last word in dignified church ad vertising and the Marina Street church is to be congratulated upon its enterprise. The Mems Brotherhood will defray the expense.

There was nothing wrong with the enthusiastic public reception to Gov ernor and Mrs. Campbell on their arrival here in their home town yes terday afternoon. Governor Camp bell, himself, stated that he was most deeply impressed.
 As the train pulled in, the Prescott Home Guards, in full strength and presenting arms, stood along the plat form A squad of 30 Boy Scouts, each carrying an American flag or a scout emblem, stood at attention on one flank The Girl Scouts and school children lined the platform.
 In the street, huge concourse of gaily decorated automobiles was parked, and all the open spaces were filled by ranks of welcoming citizens. The reception committee consisted of Mayor w. H. Timerhoff, Judge F. w. Wells, Robt. E. Morrison and F. w. Stephens.
 After he had succeeded in working his way through the crowd, the gov ernor and party were placed in an automobile, guards formed in platoon front and marched to the St Michael, where they formed and presented arms, while Governor Campbell ad- dressed few words of appreciation 10 Captain Mitchell and the men. Then he went and shook hands with every Boy and Girl Scout.
 He's Feeling Fine.
 The governor is feeling fine, and most happy to be back home for a short time. After his arrival at the hotel, the first to meet him was his mother, Mrs. Dan Campbell.
 To a few friends whom he saw be- fore leaving the hotel the governor chatted awhile about the sterner af- fairs that are touching the State and nation. He believes the Arizona Ma tional Guard will pull out of its en- listment difficulties, although things are proceeding poorly for that or ganization just now.

 State measures for defense and aid ing the nation in the war are proceed ing rapidly, and Arizona will not be the least efficient of the subdivisions when 1t comes to lining up back oi the government in the world conflict.

Prescott is proud of Tom Campbell and not ashamed to show its pride in him. It was a beautiful sight, that at the depot, where the representative people of the city had congregated to pay honor to Mir Campbell personally and as chief executive of the State. Speaking for myself, I was very much gratified at being in a position to officially well come him, as mayor, back to his home city. One feature that was particularly pleasing to me was the presence Of the Home Guards. Boy and Girl Scouts, youths, maidcns and childreI, in such large numbers The educative effect should be good for the lesson must have been apparent that each and every one of them has an oppor. tunity. like Mir.

Wingfeld, each in their capacity as private citizens, have sued the board of supervisors and the members and clerk, the complaint having been filed late yesterday after noon.
 This IS the promised suit of the chairman Of the board to prevent the payment of salaries under the law passed at the recent session of the legislature, to elective officers of this county, and further, to test the strength of that law in the light of a paragraph in the Arizona constitu- ton, which says that the salary of no elective official shall be increased or diminished during his term in office.
 It was on the recommendation of County Attorney F. ]. Mitchell. who based his action on an opinion hand ed down by the attorney general, that the board, by vote of Stukey and Jaeger to Stephens decided to draw the salary warrants in the new amounts-adding in the neighborhood of S30,000 per year to the county's official payroll At that meeting of the board on April 3, Stephens regis tered his disapproval of the act of the other members of the board by vot- ing mo" to the proposition, which was put in the form of a resolution.
