HIGH HONORS PAID
WILSON IN ENGLAND
KING GEORGE MEETS PRESIDENT
AT TRAIN AND ESCORTS HIM
TO BUCKINGHAM
FORMER OVATIONS ECLIPSED
Occasion Has Only Been EquaIed In
Crowds And Enthusiasm BY
Coronations

LOndon.-The great moment of Pres
ident Wilson's first day in England
was when he stood with the king and
queen and Mrs. Wilson in the balcony
of Buckingham palace, facing a multi
tude which stretched down the Mall
to the admiralty, half a mile distant,
and overlooked ST. James park on one
side and Green park on the other.
Speech Could Not Be Heard
Only corporal's guard could hear
the presidents brief speech, but the
people, who had demanded that he
show himself, gave him a greeting
more clamorous than any other guest
of the nation has commanded within
the memory of the oldest Londoner
History Was Made
The days events constitute a trib-
ute 10 the president and the United
States which will be historic. The Of
fetal ceremOnials-a reception by the
Dover corporation and the navy, the
welcome at the station by the royal
family and the chief officials of the
empire, and the state progress through
the heart of London were colored
with touches of medieval pageantry,
even to the crimson coated beef eat !
ers from the tower, bearing halberds,
which the British people cherish.
American Gentleman Central Figure |
That the central figure of the royal |
procession in quaint state carriages,
attended by military escort and
household officials. should be a civil
ian wearing a black coat and silk hat
gave a flavor of novelty to the scene.
With few exceptions have royal cere-
monials excited the interest as has the
first state visit of an American presi-
dent.

when Stephen PichOn, minister of for
eign affairs. amid violent Interruptions
by the Socialists and counter demon
STATIONS by the government support
ers, outlined Frances peace terms.
The minister declared that France
is absolutely in agreement that full
publicity be given to the proceedings
of the peace conference. He annOunc-
ed that intervention in Russia is in
evitable, but that it will be of a de-
fensive character so far as French
troops are concerned, and that if Of
fensive operations are undertaken it
will be by Russian troops,
1t is evident that the opponents of

STANDARD O|L CO. ASKS INJUNCTION AGAINST
 STATE TAXING BODIES

The Standard Oil company yester- day instituted injunction proceedings against the state tax commission, the tax collectors and the county attor- neys in every county of the state to restrain the defendants from seiZing it's property or enforcing the collec- tion of taxes or placing it on the de- linpuent tax roll. The complaint was filed in the office of the clerk of the United States court and order to show cause was entered, the matter to come up before Judge Sawtelle in Tucson Monday morning.
 The action is similar to that brought by the plaintiff when the Standard oil company charged the defendants with an attempt to tax interstate commerce in which judgment was given for plaintiff in the United States court of appeals The present suit was brought in order that the plaintiff company might not be placed on the delinquent roll before the hearing of the case pending before Judge Sawtelle.
 The plaintiff alleges that the tax commission raised the assessed value of it's stock in each county 100 per cent and that the "pretended increase" is fraudulent, unlawful and void, and in contravention and in violation of the requirements of the constitution.
 The plaintiff asks that the increase be declared void and without force and effect. The increase complained of was made by the state board of equalization which raised the taxable property from s52SSs9 to s1,550,O30 making an increase of $632,641.

DOCS 0F PHOENIX HAVE GOOD FRIEND IN TIE
 NEW HUMANE OFFICER.

There are two paragraphs or ordln- ance 99 relating to offenses against the public peace, bearing upon the dog question. One of them provides that every dog running at large in any of the streets and alleys, plaZas, public grounds of the city of Phoenix shall have a collar around his neck with the metal tag aforesaid securely fastened thereto and in such manner as to per init of ready examination" Failing in this dogs may be disposed of as the authorities see fit.
 The other paragraph provides: Any person who allows any dog owned by him or in his possession or under his control to run at large in violation of any of the provisions of this section, (see the previously quoted paragraph, shall be deemed guilty of misde- meanor and upon conviction hereof shall be fined a sum of not more than s25 for each and every such offense.
 City Humane Officer Canning be- ing a friend of dogs, thinking much more of them than he does of some men, has elected not to proceed against the wandering dog, but against the owner. If one has dog on which he is not able to pay tax or does not want to pay, and if he will inform the hu- mane officer the dog will be taken off his hands and put into possession of a more appreciative owner.
 In most places humane societies scrap with the city authorities for per mission to handle the dog question and prevent useless slaughter Be it said to the credit of the city manager that he wished" the dog business upon the humane officer.

BIRD. WITH A 12-FooT TAIL
CKind Words)


 The bird with the longest tail comes from Japan. Some of them have tails as much as twelve feet long. When they go for walk in the open air they are accompanied by special train bear CTS who keep the tail from touching the ground. It, is a variety of the barndoor fowl In the same way that pouters and fantail pigeons have been developed from the common pigeon in Europe, the long tailed cocks are reared in Shinowara, village on the island of Skikoku. They are kept in long, thin cages, lighted at the top. The bird naturally remains perched at the top with it's graceful tail hanging down. If they have to travel they are put in long, narrow boxes, the tail be. ing crushed as little as possible. This tail is much stronger than that of the ordinary cock. The feathers of the wings are very long. too, and grow down from three to four feet, giving the tail very bushy appearance.
