REPUBLICAN STORY STIRRED SOME LAX
 CONCERNS ID LIFE

The coffers of the state were en- riched $500 and the employees of the State Corporation Commission put to frenzied activity in answering telephone calls and opening letters of inquicy-- and all because The Republican printed story last Wednesday morning to the effect that the commission was going to take action against the multitude of corporations in the state which had been delinquent in filing their annual reports and paying their annual fees to the state.
 Tt is nothing short of phenomenal" said A. A. Betts, chairman of the cor poration committion, to a Republican representative yesterday. The num- OCT of people who read-and heed The Republican is nothing short of phenomenal.
 'In the Wednesday morning paper you had story stating just what the corporation commission is going to do in the matter of corporations that are in arrears with their annual reports and annual registration fees, and be- fore night more than $500 had been paid in by delinquent concerns. Nor was that all. The telephone rang all day in the matter, letters began to pour in within F hours after the story ap- peared in print-in fact. it is quite i'm possible to estimate the benefit to the state in a financial way and to the various corporations in the matter of getting into a healthy legal condition that this one story in The Republican has done
 You may say. however, that the commission is going right ahead along the line your paper stated We are pre- pairing the notices to be sent out to all the delinquent corporations, some S0,0o0 of them, and c. M. Candy, as- sistant attorney general, is preparing the form of complaint to be used in the dissolution suits against those who do not comply with the law
 "To be sure we cannot file 900 suits in one court: no court could handle them, so we will be compelled to file them in every county in the state against the corporations in the various counties which have not or do not soon comply with the law. My only regret is that the money derived from con- polling these corporations to comply with the law will not enable the cor poration commission to broaden out and more adequately cover it's field, for this money goes into the general fund not into the fund for the use of the commission.

PHOENIX JAN LEARN LESSON FROM 4, IN
 GETTING FACTORIES

Phoenix can not anly benefit great ly from the big fabris and tire factories of the Goodyear company, but in my opinion can learn some very valuable lessons from the way the company was received and the reason they selected Los Angeles said B. E. Marks yester- day, after returning from trip to Los Angeles, during which he attended the luncheon in honor of A. r. Seiberling president of the Goodyear company, which was held on Wednesday of las; week in the big ballroom of the hotel Alexa r rdria.
 More than 500 men were present at the luncheon" continued MT. Marks, including the biggest men in Southern Calif6l nia- both as to brains and mon- ey, and when Seiberling appeared the entire assembly arose as one man 70 do him honor. When he arose to speak he was greeted with tumultous ap- plause. ard his talk was punctuated with the sort of applause that showed that every man there realized what the Goodyear plant means to Los An geles and was glad to let him know that it was nderstood
 The reasons cited by Mir Seiberline for the selection of Los Angeles over other coast points were impressive. Water, plenty of pure water, was one of them. Plenty of free labor was another. a determining factor between Los Angeles and San Francisco, and the Goodyear company is famous for their care of their employees and the conteEted men they keep in sonse- quence. Cheap power was another determining factor. another thing be- sides water that we must have in Ari- zona, and that we will have if the reclamation projects now being pushed are brought to actual consummation.
 Tho Goodyear plant at Los An gelcs vii! have a capacity of 1000 tires daily, double the original plans, and have no doubt that other tire manu- lecturers will follow them This means better prices for bigger pro- ducticn of Salt River Valley cotton. and I can see. no reason why this val ley should not also have the mills to weave the fabrss-but we must have cheap power and good water to get them, end we must make the pioneers of new industries welcome and then more welcome, and do all we can 10 help them. for they help us.'
 MT. Marks went to Los Angeles to attend the semi-annual meet9g of the trustees of the F'raternal Brotherhood. of which he is a member, and while there Ee was selected to represent the F'raternal Brotherhood at the National Fraternal Congress to be held August 26 to 2y in Detroit.

LYNCH NEGRO WHO
 ASSAULTS WOMAN
Republican A. p. Leased Wire1

GILMER, Tex. July 24.-Gilmer was quiet tonight after a night and day of intense excitement brought about by the attack yesterday on a white wo- man, and the lynching today at the courthouse square of Chiffon Jen- nings, young negro for the crime, after he was identified and had confessed. Jennings was captured by a sheriff's posse early today three miles from Gilmer after an all night search. He was placed in jail at noon. A mob soon gathered and with the aid of sledge hammers, broke the steel doors of the jail
 Just as the negro was brought out and rope placed about his neck, a man on horseback approached and was handed the other end of the rope. He galloped away, dragging the negro several blocks to the courthouse square. Jennings was then hanged. In a few minutes the crowd dispersed leaving the body hanging. It was cut down at o'clock this afternoon.
 The woman is in a critical condition.

TELLS IF ELkS' CONVENTION AT
 ATLANTIC CITY
A. A. Bets Reports Meeting the Biggest and Greatest in Elk History-Evange- line Booth Is Wonderful Speaker

The annual grand lodge convention of the Elks at Atlantic City was by far the biggest and best convention the order has ever held in the report of A. A. Betts, past exalted ruler of the Phoenix B. P. o. E.. who attended the convention as the Arizona delegate.
 Eighteen hundred delegates weEe present" MT Betts said, 'the next larg- est convention having had 1,500 in at tendance. Several thousand members, in addition to the delegates, were pres ent; in fact, the convention opened with at least 5000 Elks present on July S.
 There were too many things done" continued MT. Betts, and too many matters considered to tell even briefly, but two things, to my mind, stood out over everything else in the convention. One of these was the address of Evan geline Booth, and the other was the thanks of the government for the work done by the Elks during and since the war for the general good of all.
 ''Evangeline Booth, commander in chief of the Salvation Army is the only woman that was even invited to ad- dress the grand lodge of the Elks. and she was the first number on the pro- gram. She spoke for an hour and hers was the most inspiring address I have ever heard. She had those fellows shedding tears, and that was some ac- complishment. She told of the work of her Army back of the front and she thanked the Elks for their work in raising funds for the greatly enlarged home service campaign the Salvation army now has under way.
 A Heroic Girl Worker
 Characteristic of her stories of the service rendered at the front was that of one of the Army's girl workers. She was stationed just back of the lines in a threatened sector, dispensing cheer and food 10 the boys at every oppor- tunity. Things got hotter and hotter, and finally the commanding officer came to her station and told her she must move further back, that she was in the gravest danger. No colonel. she replied, am here to do everything I can for these boys, to die for them and with them if necessary. She stayed"
 MT Betts then related how repre- sentatives of the government had been present at the convention 10 thank the orderp for their war work. particularly | in their aid to partly disabled soldiers who were entitled to rehabilitation work at the expense of the government | and of the part the Elks mad played ! in carving for these men while the government was temporarily short oi | funds for the work.

 Bond was arrested on the complaint
 f John Lively of Glendale who said that he had leased him 30 head of cat tie at s1 a head per month. The lease provided that the increase of the cattle should be divided equally between them.
