PLAN PERMANENT TRAFFIC BUREAU
 AT MEETING TODAY

Tentative plans for the organization of a permanent traffic bureau to take care of transportation and traffic prob lens which may confront the business men of Phoenix and the Salt River valley in the future will be placed be- fore the traffic bureau of the chamber of commerce this afternoon at its meeting in the chambers rooms. A number of business men, representing all business interests of the valley will attend.
 Plans for the permanent organiZa- tion were formed yesterday afternoon at meeting of the executive commit tee of the traffic bureau in the cham Der of commerce, and will be passed upon at the bureaus meeting today. It is probable the permanent organiZa- tion will be effected, as the temporary bureau has proved of such value as to make it big aid to the business men of the valley. If made permanent, the traffic bureau will take care of all the transportation and traffic problems of the business of the state.
 The traffic bureau, as It now exists was formed some time ago to protest against the increases in freight rates the railroads were threatening to make, and which would have had a se- rious effect on business in the Salt River valley. The increased rates in- cluded placing this city in the inter- mountain 120 per cent rate zone Thanks to the vigorous action of the traffic bureau, in protesting the rates the increases were dropped
 Similar problems are expected tc confront the business men of the state from time to time, and the traffic bu- reau, if made permanent, will be able to meet them.
 The executive committee of the bu- reau, which met yesterday to plan the permanent organization, consists o1 Roy $. Goodrich, P. R. Helm, L. F Martin J. Melczer and Charles Kor- rick. Members of the traffic burear include H. A. Diehl. A. c. Dulmage, " w. Edwards, J. N Jaggers, Roland Johnson, Charles McArthur, G. o. Mil. Ter, F. E. Schneider, H. L. Stevenson Harry Thompson, Frank Viault and B c. Webster.

STORY FAILS TO HELP MAN
 ON BOOTLEC CHARGE

Charles Grady, charged jointly with Harry $. Mcqueen with transporting liquor, was willing to take entire blame for the crime yesterday, stating in Justice Wheeler's court that Mcqueen did not even know the contents of the four suit cases and hand bag, which he placed in McQueen's car which met him at Peoria Sunday morning on his return from Parker. Gradys testimony did not convince the court of McQueens innocence, and he was held to answer to the superior court, his bond being fixed at s1,000. Grady's bond was placed at $500.
 Evan Wilson, deputy sheriff, told of the capture of the two men near Glendale, where the sheriffs car blocked the way of the liquor laden automobile. He said that when he raised the lap robe on the back seat and found the suit cases of whiskey Mcqueen turned to him with the dues- tion How did you know we had it?' Mcqueen then handed his gun over to the officer, saying that he was not a bootlegger.
 Undersheriff Charles Bowers identi- fled the suit cases as those received by him at the sheriffs office and which he placed in the booze room on the second floor.
 After the testimony of the officers the state rested, and R. H. Brumback, for the defense, asked for a dismissal on the ground tat the court had no Jurisdiction in the case, as the alleged crime was committed in the Glendale district. This motion was denied.
 Grady, who had admitted his guilt, took the stand in behalf of Mcqueen. He stated that he came to Phoenix December 23 from Nevada and since coming here had been employed by Mcqueen to drive his car. His employ ment was not regular, but when he did work he received $4 day. He said when he left town for Parker q week ago, he asked Mcqueen to meet him in Peoria on his return, giving no reason. He borrowed sun cases from Mcqueen, whose initials appeared on the luggage. In answer to the ques- tlon put by Robert Jarrott, assistant county attorney he said he bought the liquor from man he met accidentally in Parker, and whose name he could not now recall. He paid S75 for the whiskey. He insisted that Mcqueen did not know the contents of the sult cases, which he placed in his car on his arrival Sunday morning.
 When the officers made the arrest Mcqueen was driving his car which was a purchase of two weeks ago.

 S750 DAMAGE SUIT

A verdict awarding the plaintiff $2J0 was brought in late last night by a jury in the superior court in the case of Frank Morton against Agnes Win kleman. Morton had sued for $7.500 for damages alleged to have been sus- tained by him when he was run down by Miss Winklemans motor car near Tempe a year ago.
 The action which terminated in the verdict giving Morton S250 was brought for young Morton by his father, against Miss Winklemans father, as both principals in the case are minors. Nor ton is E years old, and the girl is said to be a year older.
 Morton was riding a bicycle, on his way to the Tempe normal school, when he received his injuries. He testified he was on the right side of the road when run down by the car driven by Miss Winkleman, while the defense claimed it was Morton's negligence that caused the accident.
 The case went to the jury at o'clock.

NO MORE SALES IF
 COTTON AT e2 CENTS

Information that long staple cotton was being sold in Tempe at 62 cents was circulated Tuesday and caused much interest in the valley.
 In an endeavor to verify this infor- nation, The Republican learned that the Martin company of Tempe on Tuesday had purchased small amount of cotton on the Tempe market at 62 cents, had bought another few bales at Chandler at a like price and did the same at Mesa. After that, the Martin company retired from the market and purchased no more cotton at that price.
 No cotton was sold on the south side yesterday at 62 cents.

Market News
Corn and Provisions.

Chicago, May 6.-With hogs jump
ing today to the highest price ever
known, $21.35 hundred pounds, the
corn market ran up sharply despite a
widely prevalent opinion that an I'M
portant address which the national
wheat director, julius H. Barnes, de-
livcred to the members of the board
of trade here would have a bcarish
effect. Corn closed strong 3 lac to
4 lac net higher with July 1863 Id to
1.69 1-2 and September 1853 Sd to
1853 rs. Oats finished unchanged to
3-Sc lower. The outcome in provis-
ions was an advance ranging from
z IL to sc.
Breaking of high price records i'll
the hog market had already COM
renced in good earnest before the
cper;ng trades were made in the corn
pit The reason for the upward flight
of hog values was that the total num-
Der of hogs received at the Chicago
stock yards today was much smaller
than had been expected, and supplies
were also reported scanty at other
western packing centcrs.
Favorable crop conditions made
oats relatively weak, Notwithstanding
the bullish action of corn.
Provisions reflected the gains in
the hog market.
