JUDGE PARKS WARRING
 WITH ABSTRACTORS
CFrom Thursday's Dailv.l

Attorney Daniel F. Parks appear ed before the board of supervisors yesterday and entered formal pro- test against the practice which all lows local abstractors to occupy space in the office of the county re- corder. Mir. Parks told the board yesterday during a rather lengthy speech that inasmuch as the office was already overcrowded, it might be a good thing for the board to sug- gest that the abstractors do their work elsewhere than in the office of Recorder McSwiggin.
 Judge Parks also told the board that it was the duty of the county recorder to make abstracts for any one who wanted them, and that the county was being trimmed out of a sizablc bunch of revenue annually by the competition of the private ab- stractors. The attorney has in timated. it is said, that he will apply for a court order restraining the ab- stractorS from occupying the office of McSwiggin if the board does not take some steps to eliminate what the judge says ''is a monumental out rage"

LOONEY RESIGNS;
 YOUNG TAKES HIS PLACE

PHOENIX, July 4. - George U. Young of Phoenix has been appoint cd by President Wilson as mem Der of district board No. of Ari- zona, to succeed Dr. R. N. Looney of Prescott, resigned. The appoint ment was made on the recommenda- ton of Col Charles w. Harris, adju- tant general of Arizona.
 Dr. Looney, who has been serving on the board since its organization last year, asked that he be relieved that he might be able to direct his attention to the medical advisory board at Prescott He has been a member of the latter board for the past several months, but has been prevented from serving because of his duties on the district board.
 His resignation as member of the district board was consequently ac- cepted by the adjutant general be- cause of the fact that his services on the medical advisory board were of greater benefit than on the district board.
 The new member of the district board was formerly mayor of Phoe- nix, secretary of the territory of Ari- zona and is we'll known throughout the state

board Of supervisors, the officials 1T question having shown to the satis faction of the board that the amount of work in their respective precincts had increased to a point where tho
 old salaries were no longer suffi ciently large to reimburse them foI
 their work. While an effort had been made, it is said, to have the pay of some of the constables rais- ed, the board apparently decided that the job of a constable was not an overly-strenuou one, and conse- quently there should be no hoist in their stipends.
 The salary of the Clarkdale jus tice was raised S75 a month to SIPS Crown King from SIS to $25, Hum boldt from $50 to &5 and Jerome from SIS to SIPS. The three off cers in the Verde district were un- doubtedly entitled to little boost, because Of the fact that this region has become SO thickly populated with the result that the job is not the sinecure that it was in years gone by, when the justices were not compel led to try more than half dozen cases in the course of year.

ANTE-VAG BILL IS VETOED BY
 GOV. HUNT
STATE EXECUTIVE DIS APPROVES OF LEGISLA- TIVE ACT WHICH PRO- VIDED THAT ALL MUST GET TO WORK.

PHOENIX, July ?. - Two bills passed by the Arizona state legisla- ture during the special session re- gently closed were returned to the secretary of state today by Cover nor Hunt without the approval of the states executive.
 The two bills to be thus vetoed were the anti-vagabond bill and the act to regulate the manufacture and sale Of by-products Of grain, alfalfa, cotton and other agricultural pro- ducts into stock foods
 The stock food manufacture regu- lation bill was not approved, the governor said, because its enact ment during the special session was unconstitutional, there being noth ing relating to such a bill contained in the call for the special session.
 In vetoing the anti-vagabond bill, the governor said in part:
 While I would not venture to state that this bill is in violation Of the 18th amendment to the consti- tuition. still it must be apparent that any law making work compulsory without. in any way, designating the terms or conditions of the work, seems very close to the danger line of peonage.
 "The chief industry in this state, 7" I practically all of the companies do not give employment to men over 45 years of age The bill, which l am disappearing, requires all men to work mp to the age of GO. If men who have reached the advanced age of between 4 and co years are to be compelled to work in state that limits their usefulness, proper safe guards must be placed around the fields that are open to them. Farm ing is a new industry in this state, and without any legal restrictions or provisions of employment. If this bill covered provisions for a mini mum wage, housing conditions or any provision whatever insuring a decent and American standard Of living for workers, it might justify telling Q man of advanced years he must work at least 36 hours a week, in state where his field of activities is greatly limited.
 The bill passed to me, IS drastic ,-,I eLov-c little tirup and StIldV in its preparation, but, rather tends to that form of war hysteria. Nothing in the investigations that have been conducting throughout the state con vinces me that we have any real vag rancy problem"

MIDGELEY IS OUT FOR
 OFFICE OF SUPERVISOR
CFrom Wednesdav's Daily0

tGIOIn w CuUNSudN LdhAAJ.f
 Being importuned by a host of Democratic friends, as well as by practically all of the Republicans in the Verde valley, W. w. Midgely of Oak creek, has decided to come out in the primary for the nomination of supervisor on the Republican ticket.
 The Verde valley wants represen- tation on the board and his neigh bors without regard to party affilia- tions selected Mir Midgely on ac- count of his business capacity and experience as the man from their district to sit upon the county board.
 Mir. Midgcly came to Arizona from Pomona, California, at which place he was the owner, with his brother, of the largest mems furnishing goods store in that city. He stood high in the community as was attested by the fact that he was the first presi- dent of the Associated Chambers ot Commerce of the San Gabriel valley He was member of the committee which was responsible for the build ing of the many miles of boulevards radiating from Pomona. Coming to Arizona on account of his health, he bought the Valinda ranch m Will Hanson valley and four years after disposed of it to J. H. Stephens. He is now engaged in the cattle business at Cornville and is also interested in an automobile business in Clarkdale.
 That he will receive one of the two nominations that are to be made at the primary for supervisors, IS assured, and if the voters want man of business qualifications to ad- minister the affairs of the county, working impartially for the interests of the entire county, and not for any particular section, he will be elect ed beyond a question.

PRISONER GETS OUT
 OF THE CITY JAIL (From Fridays Daily)

Chief of Police Bloom is shy one more or less good city jail prisoner, one of the hoosegow inmates having made his escape at three o'clock yes terday afternoon. The man, who was a stranger in this city had been sent to the booby hatch for a 30-day spell on a charge of using the hop needle too frequently. He had been in jail for three or four days and chose yes terday afternoon while almost every body was at the fair grounds to make his getaway There were five or six other prisoners in the jail at the time the hop fiend got away, but because of the fact that none of them had more than three or four days to serve, they all decided that it would not be worth while to make an eff fort to get out.
 The fugitive got away by break ing open the back door and getting out into the alley. At the time he emerged from the prison, none of the city police force were in the city, and by the time word of the affair got to the chief, the needle expert had running start and was never seen again, although a thorough search was made of the surrounding country.

roundabout manner that the restric- tions as to flour and wheat were only 10 remain effective until the wheat of the 1918 harvest had been ground and was ready for distri- button. Inasmuch as wheat cutting will begin within the next few days in the Eastern states, it is believed that should the ticket-rationing plan go into effect in Prescott, it would not be oi long duration.
 Under the plan mentioned. each adult was to be entitled to only eight loaves of bread per month, this schedule allowing each person a reasonable amount of pies, cakes, etc. in addition. The average person, according to the bakers, will under ordinary circumstances, use about 2O loavcs of bread per month, and it can be seen that most persons would have to greatly curtail their con sumption Of the staff of life. at least the wheat kind, and go bit strong CT on hoe cake, rye bread, graham crackers and other commodities which might be pressed into service in an effort to kid ones stomach into believing that it was getting the real thing. Bakers stated that if the card system were put into force, it would result in the loss of about 75 per cent of the average days business, and would make the bake shops rather poor-paying propositions.
 Sales of granulated sugar are now limited to two pounds to customer, but under the card plan, each adult will be entitled to buy only three pounds a month, which is probably enough to get the average person by during a 30-day period. Grocers state that they believe that most house keepers have already laid in a sup ply of sugar against the day when the food administration puts its foot down upon sales larger than the three-pound allotments, so that in case the government does put on the clamps, nobody will suffer.

PERSONAL INJURY CASE
 WON BY PLAINTIFF
From Fridays Daily)

The jury in the Superior court which has been considering the evil dence in the personal injury action which Paul Loncar had filed against the Monte Cristo Mining company. yesterday morning returned a yer dict awarding the plaintiff damages in the sum of S2,5OO. The case was tried on Wednesday, the jury retir- ing early that evening. Loncar was seeking damages for an injury which he received while working at the Monte Cristo several months ago. It was understood that prior to the fil- ing of the suit the defendant had tried to settle with Loncar for the sum of S5,000, but the latter refused to accept the amount, preferring to go to trial.
 It will be remembered that month or SO ago the Monte Cristo people tried to have the case dis missed, alleging in their petition that the plaintiff was an enemy alien, Loncar being Austrian. Judge Sweeney ruled. however, that the fact that Loncar was an Austrian would not necessarily prevent him bringing an action in the courts Of the United States, it having been shown that the man had been law abiding while he had lived in this country and that he had not been connected with any German or Aus trian propaganda since the war com- menced.

(From Wednesdays Daily )

Well No. ? Of the Arizona-Okla- homa Gas & Oil Company has hit the oil. General Manager Bowler re- ceived a telegram to that effect a few days ago, and now he has receiv- ed a photograph showing a geyser of oil and gas ascending from the well over the top of the derrick
 The stream was measured and re- cords a flow of lS0 barrels a day. This grade of oil is bringing g bar rel at the present time and as the company confidently expects to have twelve flowing wells by the first of next year. its production will be oi considerable magnitude. It is to pro- vide storage facilities for this out put and to make connections there from to the pipe line that traverses southern Kansas where the property is located, that the company is now placing an allotment of its stock upon the market The time for the purchase of this first allotment ex- pires on July 18th and thereafter the price for shares of the second allot> nent will be 75 cents
 Colonel Bowler was wired yes terday that the new well had been capped and the casing was on the ground to begin driving another well. After the Kansas property be- comes a paying proposition, the com pany will devote a part of the rev enue to developing its holdings in the Chino valley in this county.

 The main office of the United Chino Oil & Refining company was removed from Phoenix to Prescott this week, and hereafter all business of the company will be done in this city. There were two primary reas- ons for the change, according to General Manager Mcclellan, first be- cause of the fact that Prescott IS so much nearer the operating field and also because the heat down at the capital city was of such intenseness that everybody in the organization was glad to get up to a regular town where they could sleep under blank cts at night The office has been fit ted out in the rooms in the Head block formerly occupied by the local office.
 Among the notables Of the organi- zation who will make Prescott their headquarters for an indefinite per iod are Manager McLennan, George NJ. MacBean, city commissioner Of Phoenix, T. c. Gordon, head of the stock sales department, Marshall Lazenby, advertising representative, and Arthur Barsch and Bill Glenn, of the sales department.
 The officials report that fine pro- gress is being made at the well west of Puntenney, and that the big job of casing up the well is now about completed. T. \. Jenks, an oil ex- pert from the coast, is here and will devote his time out at the plant for the next several months.
