Republican A. p. Leased Wire1

GLOBE, Ariz.. Aug. 6.-Delegates to the seventh annual convention of the Arizona State Federation of Labor, held at Miami this week are preparing for clash between the factions seek ing to control the meeting.
 The first clash resulted today from an attempt to unseat President Croaff on the ground that he was holding an executive office in the state federation and a federal appointment, which is contrary to the bylaws of the A. S. F. of L. The convention voted to sustain the chair 27 to 26.
 John l.. Donnelly introduced Q strong resolution which was passed by the convention. The resolution pledges the support of organized labor in Ari- zona to the war aims of President Wilson and seeks to make a better feeling between capital and labor il this state. The resolution asks labor in Arizona to abide by the principles of contract and agreement, and devote their efforts to crushing military au- tocracy
 The delegates are preparing for g lengthy debate when the workmen's compensation law comes up for discus sion. The convention is pretty evenly divided on the question and some in teresting debate is in store for tomor- row. President Croaff in his opening address bitterly assailed the law ant its opponents. The law will probably consume the entire time of tomorrow ] session.

 Were Filled By Small
 Taxes and Huge Levies
TRepubIican A. p. Leased Wire1

 Total internal revenue for the year amounted to s3,694. .703,000, of which s2,S39, ,0S3.00O came from income and excess profits tax payments in June, and sS55.619,000 from a multitude of miscellaneous sources, collected largely in pennies, dimes and quarters added to the prices of various articles paid by consumers.
 Won't Pay Bills For Quarter
 Collections for the entire year were only enough to pay the nations bills for two and a half months of the war at the rate the government is now spending money.
 Next to income and excess profits taxes, the backbone of the revenue schedule, liquor taxes brought in the
 
 s317 1858, 900 for whiskey, brandy. wine and spirits, and S126.2S5, 900 from beer and other fermented liquors. Taxes on cigars. cigarets and other tobacco products yielded s156.1SS.0O0. These figures are somewhat higher than those reported soon after the close of the year.
 After income, excess profits, liquor and tobacco taxes, the biggest yield came from transportation and utilities, amounting to s70.734,000. divided as follows:

 A notable feature of the report was the item of only s12,995,0 900 collected in excise taxes on sale of articles usual l ly classed as luxuries. The admins tration program this year calls for | raising about a billion dollars from l luXuries.

Republican A. p. Leased Wire1

PARIS, Aug. 6.-LouiS J. MalVy, for mer minister of the interior, was found. guilty today of holding communication with the enemy and sentenced to five years banishment. The sentence how ever, does not carry civic degradation.
 Louis J. Malvy, minister of the in- terior, in the Viviani, Briand and Ribot cabinets, was reckoned one of the most aStute political figures in France.
 His position was first assailed in July, 1917. M. Clemenceau, now pre- mier charged that M. Malvy was spreading f'defeatist" propaganda among the troops. M. Malvy resigned as minister of the interior early in August
 Suicide Follows Arrest
 M. Clemenceau's charges against NJ. Malvy followed the arrest of Miguel Almereyda, editor, and M. Duval, di- rector, of the newspaper Bonnet Rouge, upon the latter of whom was found a check for a large sum of money. the source of which he admitted to be a German banker named Mannheim. AL mereyda later was found dead in his cell, apparently a suicide.
 M. Malvy was much criticised for having had confidence in such persons and for having granted passports to DuNoi lol HuIlclOuS tilpS tO oNllZer- land, while the Bonnet Rouge was | printing articles in defense of Ger many. It was estimated that Duval l had brought sums aggrcgating SOC, ,O0O 1 francs from Switzerland, of which 20o,, | 900 francs went to Almereyda Duval was recently found guilty of treason and shot.
 | Senate Tried Case l M. Malvy introduced in the chamber of deputies bill demanding that he be tried before the high court, and the l chamber appointed a committee of g to examine into the merits of the case This committee submitted it's report calling for M. Malvys impeachment and this 'report was adopted by the chamber and the senate was desig- mated as high court to hear the case I The trial was begun on July Is 1918. M. Malvy being called upon tC answer to charges of high treason ant having communicated with the enemy A few days later the charge of higf treason was withdrawn by the prose. cutor who, however, maintained tha
 M. M>iVy was responsible for severa cases of mutiny in the army and wa. guilty of communicating with thu lenemy.
 During the trial former Premiers Vi
 viani, Briand and Ribot testified in ia
 vor of M. Malvy as did also M Pain lleve, who succeeded M. Ribot as pre-
 mier on the latter's resignation whicl
 was due to the Malvy affair.
