SAN FRANCISCO. Dec. 12.- Fred r. CoIter, democratic candi date for governor of Arizona, de- feated by Thomas Campbell, re- publican, in the fall election by 339 votes, said tonight he did not plan to contest CampbelI's cleo ton.
 "An election contest might re- suit again in unseating Campbell" Colter explained. "Another contest would unsettle conditions in Ari- zona for several months, probably a year, and 1 feel that 1 cannot be responsible for any action that would be against the best interests of the stats."
 Campbell was elected governor two years ago by a majority of less than 100 votes. After holding office for one year, he was unseat- ed in a contest filed by Governor George w. p. Hunt.

SACRAMENTO Cal, Dec. 12.-That some of the 46 defendants in the trial of members of the Industrial Workers of the World were instrumental in the setting of fires which caused great losses in California communities in re- cent years, will be shown by evidence the government intends to introduce, Robert Duncan. special United States attorney, said today in the opening statement for the prosecution. The de- i fendants are charged with conspiracy to hamper the governments war activ- ities by intimidation strikes and other means. Thirteen of them are charged with the setting of fires.
 "We will show this organization levied on the agricultural interests of California, penalties in excess of s. 900, ,000," Duncan continued, and that in the case of Ford and Suhr (prin- cipal defendants in the Wheatland hop field riots in California several years ago), members of the organization in a | campaign of intimidation planned to destroy property in this state at the rate of s500,000 a week.
 Assault Entire l. W. w. MT. Duncan characterized the gov- ernments case as ''an assault upon the | entire organization" of the Industrial | Workers of the World.
 Duncan referred to number of fam . ous cases of recent years in which he asserted Industrial Workers of the World carried on d campaign to inti- midate public officials and citizens. l Among these, he said, were some which would play a prominent part in con- nection with the cases here.

EXECUTIVES IF ROADS AGAINST
 M 'ADOO DEMAND
Senators Believe McAdoo Is Making Test, Preliminary To Permanent National Control - Committee e s Meet To Prepare Legisla- tion-Plan Is Far From Agreeable.

PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 12.-Raliroad executives representing PA roads and 92 percent of the mileage of the coun- try tonight gave out a formal state ment in which they declared that Di- rector General McAdoo's suggestion that the government retain control Of the railroads until January, 1924, would simply lead to delay and con fusion, demoralization of the organl- zation of the roads, both on their cor porate and operating side, and defer indefinitely a satisfactory settlement of the railroad problem.
 The executives, the statement said have reached the conclusion that there is sufficient time under the term of the present act to consider fully the railroad situation in all it's aspects and arrive at a plan that would be just to the country"
 The statement was given out by Thomas De Will Cuyler Philadelphia, chairman of the railway executives advisory committee. now known as the Association of Railway Execu- tives. The association is considering problems that will arise in connection with the return of the railroad proper ties to their private owners.

Conqress Gets Interested

WASHINGTON. Dec. 13.-Recom- mondation of Director General McAdoo that government control of railroads be continued to January l, 1924, gave impetus today to congressional consid- eration of legislation looking to a solu- ton of the railway problem, and also was the subject of a brief debate in the senate.
 The senate interstate commerce committee was called to meet next Thursday to discuss MT. McAdoO's letter and other phases of the general railroad subject, while the house com mittee will meet tomorrow with the expectation that the director generals recommendation will be taken up.
 Aside from the opposition voiced by Senator Kellogg of Minnesota, repub- lican, on the floor of the senate today, many members, both republicans and democrats, were said to have eX- pressed disapproval of Mr. McAdoo' S proposal. but none of them spoke for publication.
 Senator Kellogg charged that Mir. - McAdoo really proposes t five-year test, looking to permanent government ownership of the carriers, and added that if government control is extended for five years. it would be impossible tO return the roads back to private ownership.
 Has Wilson's Approval
 Senator Smith of South Carolina, chairman of the senate commerce com mittee, declared that MT. McAdoo s proposal was merely a personal opin- ion, probably of unusual weight, but not conclusive upon congress, to which President Wilson has submitted the question.
 Senator Kellokg then asked how President Wilson's approval for the five-year extension had been secured when the president, in his address tc congress. had disclaimed having any judgment on handling the railroad question.
 Director General McAdoo explained today 10 callers his belief that it would be well Co take the railroad question out of politics at this time, oven though 1t might become an issue in the 1920 campaign, when a congress is to be elected. He emphasized that it would be impracticable to continue govern ment operation of railroads for g. months after peace is declared because of the threatened disturbance of rail. road employees morale, the interfer- ence by state authorities, and the in. ability to prosecute a program of ex. tensive Improvements.

 HARD TIME GETTING
 ''DRY' LAW IN ACTION

DENVER, Dec. 12.-Failure for a second time on the part of Governor Julius c. Gunter to obtain a quorum of the canvassing board for the certi- fication of the vote on the state bone dry" prohibition amendment and the sending of telegraphic notices by Sec retary of State James E. Noland to all county clerks advising them to cease issuing liquor permits under the Horton law, were the chief features of the days developments in the eff forts of prohibition workers to have the new prohibition law made immedi- ately effective.
 Can't Get Quorum
 Advised by the attorney general that his certification of the results of the election would be sufficient, provid- ing a quorum of the state canvassing board signed a valid certificate of de- termination, Governor Gunter this afternoon attempted to obtain a legal meeting of the board by going with Attorney General Leslie M. Hubbard to the home of State Treasurer Robert H. Higgins, where the latter is ill of influenza A meeting in gauge masks was proposed, but MT. Higgins doctor refused to give his assent to such a step and said his patient was in too critical a condition to warrant it. The governor has accordingly telegraphed State Auditor Charles Leckenby, an other member of the canvassing board, who is. at his home in Steamboat Springs, asking him to return to Den yer for a meeting of the board, which is proposed for Saturday morning.
 Opinions Differ
 Meanwhile, State Secretary Noland, in keeping with his announced deter imitation to take no official act which might tend to keep present holders of liquor permits from receiving goods ordered and in transit, has sent tele- grams to all county clerks advising the into cease issuing permits, so there may be approximately week of grace between the issuance of the last per init and the enforcement of the new law.
 The express company announced to- day that it's attorney holds that any liquor purchased under the permit shipment and turned over to it fol shipment prior to midnight of the day the new law becomes effective can and must be delivered. Attorney Genera Hubbard placs an exactly opposite construction on the law, and has de- clared that all liquor in transit after the new law becomes operative is con traband and subject to seizure ant confiscation.

Tuesday, Dec. 10. - (Bv Wireless to The Associated Press) - President Wilson learned today by wireless from Colonel Edward NJ. House, that the plans of the French government contem- plate the peace conference getting down to it's sessions prior to January 3, and he at once began arranging his plans so as to utilize the in tervening time to clear up his visits to the battle front, the American troops, and Italy and other functions, in order to leave his time en- tirelv free when the confer ence begins.
 In the meantime he will have informal conferences with Premier Lloyd George of Great Britain, Premier Clemenceau of France, Pre- mier Orlando of Italy and others, to smooth out any points of difference which may arise between the United States and the allies with regard to the ground work of the conference,
