ASK DOCTORS ID SAY
 IF THE CHURCHES AND
 MOVIES SHOULD OPEN

The question of rcopening the schools, churches, moving picture thea tors and other public places closed by oity ordinance because of the prevail tncc of Spanish influenza in Phoenix was discussed yesterday afternoon at thc chamber of commerce by directors uf that institution, representatives from thc ministerial alliance and of the moving picture theaters. About 40 business men were in attendance.
 Following this meeting, a formal letter was sent by tho chamber of com mcrCc Co the Maricopa County Medical association asking it's consideration of Tho opening of the churches and nov ing picture theaters. There was no mention Of the schools and other places now closed under the city ordinance.
 Members of the medical association arc divided upon the proposal and it is very indefinite when they will meet to consider tho proposal One prominent physician said he had been opposed to ever closing the schools and other places affected by the city ordinance Another said no one can forecast at this tmo when the ordinance will be de- c'ared imperative. a matter that rests with the city health officer, pr. H. K. ioauchamp. who. of course, would not ICt in the matter until after a meeting of thc medical association.
 Tho report that the ordinance would hccomc imperative November II, was declared by members of the medical association last night Co be absolutely
 untrue. From what could be gathered
 from opinions of tho doctors it is ccr- lain that theatcrs and churches cannot no opened at one time and the schools

VOTE STRAIGHT TICKET
 OR SPLIT IT, BUT DON'T
 SCRATCH IT,SAY LEADERS

The state of Arizona has an imper- feet voting ballot, made so by the legis- lature in its efforts 10 make the judges appears as partisan. The ballot is confusing and has caused much trouble in the past and great waste of peo- ple's money through contests.
 That is the cOncensus of opinion of all committeeman, regardless of party, responsible for getting out the votes. The parties are put to great expense in mailing instructions to voters, and even then, hundreds of ballots are scratched and in consequence thrown out at every big election. The Hunt Campbell contest, for example, was due largely 10 a misunderstanding of the ballot by the people.
 In the mater of the non -partisanship Of judges. Judge A C. Baker and Chief Justice Alfred Franklin. opponents at the democratic primary this fall had one of the hardest struggles of the campaign, Baker finally winning out so that his name might appear upon the ballot for the general state election.
 Party Men Nevertheless
 Now Judge Bakers name does not appear in the democatic column of the ballot, his name appears at the top of the ballot together with that of A. A. Jayne, republican nominee, and J. N. Morrison, socialist nominee. Each of these parties has a column to itself below these names. At the head of each column is a circle, with the inscrip- tion, vote straight ticket here"

among the three parties he must not put his cross in either one of the three circles, but must put separate crosses after the candidates of his choice in the several columns, if he intends to split his ticket. In that event he must not put a cross in the circle above.
 Makes Voters Fearful
 For the judges, whose names appear above the circles. where he is to vote q straight ticket he is at a loss how to vote. Through fear of having his bal lot thrown out he will not vote for the judges if his desire is to vote a straight ticket by making a mark in the circle provided. He reasons he must put a mark after the name of every man he wishes to vote for if he puts a mark after his choice for judge. These are facts which have been brought to the attention of the several committees.
 Statement by Judge
 To clarify the situation Judge Albert C. Baker. democratic nominee for jus tiee of the supreme court, isued the following statement yesterday:
 The name of three nominees for judge of the supreme court will appear on the non- partisan portion of the ball. lot-above the party tickets-and to vote for one of them you must make cross in the square after his name. A straight ticket vote, that is, cross made in any one of the three circles at the head of the party tickets, will not count for him. Therefore, be sure and make a cross in the square after his name, no mater whether you vote a straight party ticket or not

 The text of the letter sent the medical association by the chamber of con- mcrcc follows:

 We respectfully transmit to you their plea 10 have the public places reopened, and know that is will receive your best consideration.
 We, as directors of the chamber of commerce have full confidence in the proper handling of safety measures in the city by your body, and without comment on our part ask for your con sideration at this time of the closed churches and theaters, with the request that you advise us of the situation.

JUDGE A. C. BAKER
 DECLINES ID TAKE
 HIGH COURT PLACE
Gives AS Reason Personal
 Legal Matters; Governor Not Decided to Whom He
 Will Offer the Position

Judge A. C. Baker yesterday declined to accept the position on the supreme court bench made vacant by the resig- nation of Chief Justice Alfred Franklin. Judge Baker in a letter to Governor Hunt gave as his reason for declining, the necessity of remaining in practice during November and December on ac- count of several important cases whech require his personal attention. Gov ernor Hunt said yesterday afternoon he had not yet decided to whom he would offer the position, that he was consid- ering the matter.
 Following is Judge Bakers letter to Governor Hunt:
 October 2S, 1918. Dear Sir:
 1 desire to acknowledge the receipt of your favor of the 25th inst, notify ing me of my appointment to the judge ship made vacant by the resignation of Judge Alfred Franklin.
 I thank you very sincerely for your kind consideration in designating me to fill this exalted and dignified office. and I assure yous that I would accept the honor and enter upon the discharge of the duties thereof at once only for the fact that existing professional en- agreements preclude me from assuming these duties
 Several important cases in which I have been retained, and paid fees. are pending for trial in November and De- cember. These cases have been in trusted to my care by clients because they relied upon my individual and per sonal efforts in their behalf, and they are such cases that I cannot possibly transfer to other attorneys. It is my bounden duty to these clients to con- 1 tinue my present attitude until I can try and dispose of these cases. It is for this reason and this reason only, that I must beg you to excuse me from accepting the honor you so kindly tender me.
 In the event of my election by the people in November to the judGeship l would remain free to try and dispose of such cases before my induction into l the office in January. | Assuring you of my high personal re- gards, I am,
 | Very truly yours,
 A. c. BAKER. | Governor G. W. P. Hunt,

DEATH CLAIMS SUN
 0F' PEORIA EDITOR

Sidney NJ. Schultz, son of Tom Schultz, editor of the Peoria News died at noon Sunday at Berkeley, Cal, where he was in the government service Tn the surveyors corps. He enlisted three months ago and had almost completed the course and expected to be sent to France about November 1.
 The cause of death was pneumonia following an attack of influenza. His illness became alarming about October 23 and his mother who was at Pasadena left at once for Berkeley, arriving there on the following day. But by that time the disease had so far progressed that she was not allowed to see her son, and did not see him alive.
 Sidney Schultz was p years of age and a native of Arizona though since he was a boy he has resided at Pasa- dena. He graduated from the high school there and entered the service Of the electric light and power company. He was an apt student and quickly mastered every task he undertook. He was also intensely patriotic. As soon as his country entered the war he sought to join the colorS but was re- jected on account of the disparity be- tween his height and his weight. He was more than six feet tall.
 But he was at last accepted for train ing in the surveyors corps where he quickly made good.

SCORES ATTORNEY
 WHO ADVISED CLIENT
 ID LEAVE THE STATE

Youth, ineXperience and lack of knowledge of the duties of lawyer" alone excused the conduct of Tender son Stockton for the procedure he followed as one of the attorneys repre- senting Mrs. Angus Mckay, in her pe- titlon for letters of administration in the S1,200,000 estate of Angus Mckay, declared Judge Lyman in open court yesterday.
 Scoring the attorney for the tactics he employed, Judge Lyman in no un- certain terms stated that in the future the case must proceed with order and decency which was the rule of his court.
 The action taken by Judge Lyman resulted from a statement made in court week ago by Stockton who said hat he advised his client to leave the courts jurisdiction because of her health and-"because we believed the court was to issue an order we thought to be null.'
 Judge Lyman stated that if counsel did not understand what course to pursue he might havoc onsulted a reputable lawyer. He charged Mir. Stockton of advising his client to flee as criminal and declared that such practice should not be permitted in the courts.
 J. H. Lacy of San Francisco, one of the attorneys representing Mrs. Mckay was asked if he advised Mrs Mckay to leave the state to avoid the order, and he replied he had not. He made an attempt to speak a word in behalf of MT. Stockton, but the court announced he had heard all he cared to about the matter
 Mrs. Mckay who has ben repre- sented by Townsend. Stockton and ! Drake, and J. H. Lacey, yesterday se- cured additional counsel when George l Purdy Bullard was entered in the case. l It is understod that MT. Bullard in sisted that Mrs. Mckay return to Phoe- | nix.
 Judge Sloan for the Mckay family 1 in Canada some time since asked for the right to examine Mrs Mckay in | open court relative to an alleged letter l said to have been written by Angus | Mckay to his brother Hugh Mckay in which disposition was made of the estate now claimed by Mrs. Mckay. 1 Mrs. Mckay was out of town when the day came for her court appearance She will be examined on this point at $50 o'clock Wednesday morning if her physical condition permits her ap- | pearance in court.
 Her counsel have asked for the right to examine Florence Wilkes, a nurse and A. Mclean who represents the Mckay Canadian interests, but Judge Lyman has made no order to this ef- feet, and whether they are examined will depend entirely upon what Mrs Mckay discloses in her examination Yesterday was law and motion day 1T Judge Lymans court and courtroom was crowded with members of the bar when the Mckay case came up the first thing in the morning. Much in. terest is being shown in the matter which has hung fire for many weeks.
