M'AdOO GipenI Warm Welcome To Chief City

Secretary McAdoo arrived in Phoenix shortly after 5:30 o'clock, coming from Tempe by motor car. His entrance into the city was i'm pressive. He was met at the Four Mile House on the Tempe road by 16o members of the Phoenix Po- lice reserves in motor cars under the command of Colonel c. V. Gull ley. One company of the reserves was left in Phoenix to receive the distinguished visitor at the Hotel Adams. However, by quick work, the other srese ves reached Phoenix in time to assist in the reception. The regimental colors were carried in motor car in the parade and made an impressive sight. A re- option committee of Liberty loan workers met MT. McAdoo and ac- comPanied him to this city.
 After dinner and short rest at the Hotel Adams, MT. McAdoo walked to the Christian church, four block away, escorted by the Police Resevers and the Liberty loan committee. The secretary was eiv- en an enthusiastic reception all the way. He appreciated the informal program and expressed his satis- faction to the committee.
 MT. McAdoo spent the night at the Hotel Adams. He will depart this morning at 11:30 on the Santa Fe. His immediate destination is AL buquerque.

The draft of this week and that of
the seven men who go the first of

Class One A. The call for the latter
part Of July is for So men from this
county. The local board do not yet
know how these men will be secured.
The reclassification of exempted
men, especially those married since
the draft laws were formulated in
congress, will yield few names for
class one in this county. After these
and the 40 yet remaining are taken,
it will be necessary to go into Class
Two. or to take men Of Class One A
who have been passed and tempor-
arily exempted because Of their farm
Ing operations" or to take men from
the registration Of 1918.
This LAST alternative has not been
ordered by the war department, and
there is some doubt as to whether It
could be arranged by q date early
enough to provide men for the July
draft, as there is much clerical work
to Be done before these new men
can be classifi led. Il It e necessary

Floyd King, advance agent for the
Hagenbeck-Walla circus, called the
highest class circus in the world, was
in jamestown Tuesday arranging an
appearance of the big circus here on
Monday, July 8. This is the circus
that was in wreck in Indiana last
Saturday, in which number Of per-
formers and worHmen were killed.
and number were injured. The cir
Gus, however, lost only one of it's
sections, and a telegram received
from the manager today says the
show is again running on schedule
time, that the newspaper reports were
greatly exaggerated, and that new
| features have been added to take the
place of the performers killed or in
jured. ~
The Hagenbeck people have been
loaned new acts from Ringing Bros.
and Barnum & Bailey and the show
will appear here as scheduled without
any diminution in attractions.
Mr.. King notes that this is the
second time the Hagenbeck show has
been in a wreck, the first occasion
being in 1903 when 27 people were
killed on the Grand Trunk rail
at Durand, Mich. The circus was en-
route from Charlotte to Port Huron
and the second section ran into the
first. a
An inquest was held today at Ham,
mond, Ind, in regard to the last
wreck in which the show was in. A
number of clowns and acrobats were
killed, but the menagerie escaped.
The last time the Hagenbeck show
was in jamestown was in 1915 and
all remember what a satisfactory per-
formance was given. Advertising car

years ago when Ringing Brothers

lost a large number of their draft
horses, the Hagenbeck Wallace show
loaned. the Ringlingss eight car loads
of horses. There are nearly 10
people connected with the Hagenbeck
show this season.

Wahpeton and after the performance

Grand Forks, Devils Lake and Minot.
The show has only lost two towns,
Hammond ard another town, on ac-

On the Montello the slaughter was
terrific. Bodies of troops were now

crossing at Nerves both banks of the
stream were streWn with dead and
dying, while hundreds of bodies were
carried out into the esa.

result of complaint made to District
Attorney M. A. Hildreth by persons
whose names were not given out.

States Commissioner A. w. Cupler
and, after waving examination, was
released on $4,000 surety bond sign
ed by F. B. Wood and Godfried Jen-
son of Crosby, both members of the

The language which the complaint
charges Mills with having used is as
follows:
who are the men who are fight
ing for us in France? They are not
the sons of members Of the chamber
Of commerce of this country; they
are not the sons of commercial trav-
;elers;; they are not bankers sons,
nor merchants sons, but they are
your boys. For every thousand sol
liers killed in France there is one adj
ditional millionaire in America. .
Mr.. Mills is quoted as saying that
the statements made In the COM
plaint do not correctly quote his lam
guage, and that on the hearing he
will be prepared to produce his ex-
act statements before.the cpprt. II

EARLY ELECTION RETURNS
CITIES & TOWNS FOR STEEN
COUNTRY FAVORS FRAZIER

At the time of going to press for
the Weekly Alert today no definite
returns hal been received, sufficient
to warrant q statement of the result
of the primary election held yester-
day. The weather was generally
good and a large vote was undoubted-
ly polled.
Supporters of John Steen for gov
ernor gave him majorities in the
cities and larger towns as far as re-
ported and certain country precincts
reporting late last night and early
this morning, show majorities for
Frazier. ~
The Fargo Courier News claims a
victory for Frazier and the League
ticket. Some of the figures given
are as follows:
The rturns from 427 precincts out
Of 1878 in the state, showed vote
of 1928 for Frazier to Is, ,245 for
steen for the republican nomination
for governor.
The returns from Cass county, Il
out OF ,6s precincts including all OF
the city Of Fargo, which went heav-
lily against the governor and all the
League ticket, were 1902 for Frazier
to 1904 for Steen.
In Grand Forks county the proper
ton was similar, the returns from
20 precincts out of the 81 being 539
for Frazier to j, ,320 for Steen.
County strong for Governor.
The returns from counties more
heavily rural, were different. Wells
county, % precincts, report Frazier
593, 25S Steen. In Griggs county
16 precincts out of % give Frazier
443 and Steen 229. Eight precincts
in LaMoure county, 20 out Of Sc, give
Frazier $50 and Steen 365.
Divide county, in the extreme west
ern part OF the state. with II out OF
3 5 precincts reporting, gives 548 and
Steen 351. Dunn county, on the
slope In half Of the "a precincts,
gives Frazier 437 and Steen 304.
The returns from Pierce county.
the home OF John Steen, with 4 6 out
of 81 precincts reporting, show
Frazier and the league ticket In the
league.
Frazier Carries Burleigh County.
Burleigh county, In which Sc pre-
cincts, including all of the city Of Bis
marck, show vote of LOO for Fraz-
Ter to 1,O42 for Steen. 1t is consid-
cred certain that Frazier will carry
zBurleigh.
The Independent Voters associa-
ton headquarters at Bismarck con-
ceded Burleigh county to Frazier ana
the entire league ticket by 800 votes.
Reports from Dunn, Morton, Oliv-
er and Mclean indicated that Frazier
would have strong majorities in each
OF these slope counties. In Mclean
county Frazier was leading by 49 at
midnight, 27 out of 53 precincts re-
porting, giving Frazier 901 and
Steen s852.
Trail county showed q fairly close
vote, with returns in from "a out OF
27 precincts. Frazier had 894 votes
and Steen 864. Mayville township
gave Frazier IS and Steen six votes.
No detailed returns were received
from McHenry county, but q cores
pondent reported at midnight that
with % precincts out. of 50 In, the
Frazier and league state ticket had
safe lead.
Indications point to the same re-
suit for the balance Of the league
ticket. which seems to be following
Nthe Frazier Steen vote closely. M. T.
