 THE DAY AT MAYER

While it is impossible at this time
 10 give full account of the big day at Mayer, it is safe to say that yes
 terday marked ore of the biggest celebrations ia Yavapai county, and truly the tiggcs. Jay in the history
 of that live little town Hundreds of Prescott people journeyed to Mayer, many going early in the day and others leaving after working hours to attend the big dance and evening carnival The crowd was be- yond the fondcst hopes of the com
 u.ittee and the entertainment pro vidcd was a surprise for those who attended. There was not one dull moment on the program.
 From the time of the parade to the close of the sports program every thing kummed. The midway was the ccrtcr of the attraction. Here, at least 90 concessions-and real con- sessions at that-beckdned all to- come and spend their money for a good cause. The kill the kaiser" game. Prescott invention by O. s. Wakeling, was the hit of the day Members of the Red Cross in pretty white suits, with appropriate white caps were in attendance at the con- sessions and the big barbecue, which was made 10 order by Joe Drew. The parade was the feature of the day Beautiful floats, the school children and last but not least the beast of Berlin" captured by the boy scouts of imerica. The Prescott city band, while not recruited to its full strength, showed the splendid patrio- tism of the members of that organ ization, for they played from morn ing tnt;l late in the afternoon for the | events, donating their services. The | high school cadets were wonder | not only to those from outside Pres | colt but also to the hundreds of Prescott people who were there. The training which these boys have re- reivcd is indeed credit to Professor Martin. The sports program, carried out under the direction of Doc Par 1ce, was a splendid one from start 10 finish.

NEW WAGON ROAD
 STIMULATES MINING
(From Saturdays Daily)

William Christman is in the city
 from Eureka district and gives a good report of what is being accom-
 plished in bringing out the mining
 possibilities of that field since the new wagon road out of Hillside sta ton has been placed in commission to Copper creek. Traffic is now quite heavy, the Copper King using at pres- ont two auto trucks in freighting high grade zinc ores, while mining engi- necrs are coming in frequently since an auto can be used. The Bagdad copper situation is getting interest ing also, as Lewissohn engineers arc coming and going every week, this mining syndicate holding the option on that property. When a few bad places are repaired this 30-mile long highway will afford convenient way to reach a desirable mining region which until short time ago has been shut out with only trails.

NEED OF FOOD CON-
 SERVATION IS URGENT

pHOENIX, May 22-The crying necessity for greater conservation of food than ever before is brought home to Arizonans in letter from Capt c. ]. Downing, written upon his re- cent arrival in England. Capt Downing was former agricultural agent for Coconino county, acting under the direction of the extension service of the University of Arizona The letter was written to Prof. E. F. Taylor, extension director, and reads as follows:
 Morn Hill camp, Winchester, England. Dear MT Taylor: Fine voyage across--safc and well. Eng land is beautiful country-like a garden everywhere-a delight to d horticulturist's eye. Everybody seems to be in uniform. Food very scarce-no sugar or butter. Every body on rations. Food will win the war You men are doing as im- portant work as we are-probably more so. Get your work on an army basis where you can give the people orders and make them obey. Yom sincere friend, Capt. G. J. Downing. Fist field artillery, fifth division regu- lars"
 Further restrictions against the use of meat will be put in force in Eng land this week, according to word re- ccived by the federal food adminis- trator for Arizona. Only two con pons for butchers meat can be used per week, instead of three as had been done since the country was ra- toned and the distribution put under the card system.
 Coupons arc issued for bacon, fowl, rabbit. vcnison, horseflcsh, beef, pork and mutton.
 The British meat shortage IS be- ing felt more severely than at any time since war was started. That the shortage is not confined to- meats, however, is shown by the fact that effective control of the milk SUD- ply is already being considered in order to meet a possible greater shortage later in the year and that some sections of English labor arc favoring extensions of the compul- sory rationing system to bread, cheese and tea.

May Cite For Contempt

There was a report current at the capital Thursday that attorneys for the Bisbee defendants might ask the federal court to cite the governor for contempt for discussing the merits of the case so fully in his message. It is argued that had newspaper gone into the case so fully. the editors would certainly have been called to answer for contempt but whether a governors message is privileged is the question. That its wide circula- tion among prospective jurors would be prejudicial and might prevent jus tice being done is the opinion of most impartial persons who have read it.

TONGUES PULLED FROM YANKEES

LOCAL GIRL GETS LET TER TELLING OF BAR BAROUS TREATMENT AC- CORDED AMERICANS AT HANDS OF HUN GATORS
(From Thursdays Daily.l


 There arc eleven soldiers in the Walter Reed hospital here in Wash ington who have been invalidcd home 70 the United States. They had been taken prisoners by the Germans and then when the Germans saw that the Americans were about to overcome hem. they took the eleven American prisoners and pulled out their tongues. Three of these American soldiers have died since they got back to the United States. War Is war but that IS barbarism. They used to lllow the people into the hospitals 10 visit the soldiers. but no more visi- tors are allowed"
 Let that statement come home to
 very man and woman who reads
 his mornings Journal-Miner. It IS | paragraph from d letter received from Katie Herman, a Prescott girl It Washington, D. C., and the letter was written to Miss Ola Henry, who turned the same over to the Red Cross publicity committee, knowing
 hat ii would assist the war fund lrivc this week. If after reading this. .hcrc IS a man, woman or child m Prescott or Yavapai county who has not made a contribution to the Red Cross, whether they could afford it or whether 1t had to be made with per sonal sacrifice, then they are not worthy the name of an American.
 The Yavapai county chapter has been called upon to give Sl5,OOO owards the war fund. How many people who hesitate perhaps about their Red Cross contribution, would bc willing to exchange their position or that of the soldier boys men. toned above. who have sacrificed more than their lives, for they must i've in the condition in which the brutal Huns have placed them, with ! fate worse than death.
 From headquarters in Washington, word was sent to the Pacihc division O assess each State. The State rep rcsentativc was advised of the allot- mcnt set aside for his particular State, the various counties in the States were then allotted their share tuu lllC lONHS III lulll lllOil SildiN lt was then up to the county chair. men and the Red Cross chapters to -aisc their share of this amount, and hey were requested to follow the as easements as made, asking the men, women and children to give if possi- llc the amount which had been al- otcd individually.
 From Navapai county has gone the lower of its manhood, and in how many homes today. can there be said with surety that the son, brother. father or husband will be returned and if returned in what condition? Every one knows that the only sue or that the soldier or sailor has is the Red Cross. That when all fails, he one bright star and the angel of mercy is the Red Cross.
 Word has been received from the southern part of the State that al- ready the quotas throughout the south have been reached in two thirds of the towns.

ROAD LOCATING OUT
 OF JEROME HAS STARTED
(From Fridays Daily.)

Arrivals from Jerome yesterday stated that the new road situation was assuming definite and earnest con
 sidcration by State Division Engi- neer F. R. Goodman and his assis- tant, Ben Ward being in action in field work.
 The difficult problem to locate a route on maximum grade basis of about five per cent is the purpose, and which Is being solved. That link in the chain of length of approxi- matcly eight miles will be slow in construction, owing to the mountain ous country but will be overcome. As soon as the road is definitely located at the starting point construction will follow, and work Is expected to be under headway now in short time.
 The initial work of getting Clark street in Jerome in fine shape has been completed, which will be the entrance to that city. This highway now presents a boulevard appearance and the expense was borne by the United Verde Co. The working pro- gram as yet has not been announced, but 1t is expected that after the per mancnt line is established there will be road camps established every half mile, until the higher elevations are covered. The main question in engi- neering is to get over the range into Yeager canyon, when the principal engineering problem will be solved There Is very much interest now be- ing manifested in Jerome over this assuming final and favor able action.

special trial judge IIetherington,s
 appointment was made over the pro-
 tests of the attorneys representing
 the Hull organization and Mir. Clark,
 and at the close of yesterday after
 noon's session, the counsel for the de-
 fense gave notice that they would ap-
 peal the matter of the appointment of
 receiver, and sienitied their intcu-
 ton ot furnishing d supcrcedeaS bond
 ir the sum of $l000,000, the bond to
 have the effect of staying the pro-
 cess of transferring the company's
 holdings to the receiver.
 The appointment of tine receiver was one of the ramifcationS of the
 complicated case which was filed in
 the NaVapai court year or so ago
 by William Kemp, a Boston merchant and minority stockholder in the big copper corporation which was organ iZcd by the late George Hull, one of
 inc pioneers of the Jerome district
 Kemp and others brought suit to can eel block of 7,75l.000 shares of the company's stock which Is now held by Charles W. Clark, son of Senator William Clark, owner of the United Verde Copper Company at Jerome
 The plaintiff alleged that Clark had procured the big block of stock from
 Hull after the latter had come into possession of ii in a fraudulent man ner. It IS alleged that the property which Hull transferred to the Hull company was not of sufficient value to constitute an equitable recompense for the big bunch of stock, and the clare the transaction void and compel Clark to restore the stock to the treasury of the Hull Co. While Clarl Is not held party to any fraud, the compliments maintain that he took over the stock knowing of the frau dulent means taken by the late MT Hull to procure it and that Clark wanted the control of the Hull prop erty for the purpose of consummat- ing a merger with the United Verde interests. the two properties being ad- jaccnt to each other. As there were only about 2.5U0,000 other shares oi the company's stock outstanding Clark would be enabled to make any disposition Of the Hull property he saw fit if his title to the seven mil lion shares was not disputed, and it was upon the plaintiffs representa- tions that Clark's interference was a menace to the welfare of the organ ization that Judge Lyman named the receiver.
 The unusually large supercedeas bond was ordered by the court as a l matter of protection to the minority 1 in case they should sui | fer any damage by reason of the de fcrred receivership. Judge Lyman yesterday that the actual | trial of the merits of the case would | be opened in Prescott on Monday, | August 26th, by which time, it is pre- stunned, the matter of the reccivcrshir | will have been settled and the tracks l cleared for. the trial of one Of the ! most celebrated mining cases everi filed in the courts of the western United States.
