W. ]. GALBRA|TH Is OUT .FORATT TORNEY GENERAL

Announcement was made yesterday of the candidacy of w. J. Galbraith for the Republican nomination for the of flee of attorney general. It was with some reluctance that MT. Galbraith consented to make the race, but having done so he is going to give to it the best that is in him.
 Mr Galbraith has been a resident of Arizona as a territory and state for several years. He was graduated from Stanford university and then took the LII. D. degree from the University of Chicago. Returning to Arizona in 1909, he was for four years instructor in law in the state university. He also had active practice as assistant to Attorney General John B. Wright, the last at torney general under the territorial form of government.
 Mir. Galbraith has been admitted to practice in all the courts of this state and California and the federal court.
 He came to this valley five years ago and took up his residence at Glendale, where he has since resided and been engaged in practice. He was elected a member of the lower house of the last legislature from this county and was one of the most active members of the delegation and of the whole member ship of the house, in which he deveio oped unexpected fighting qualities. He was appointed by Governor Campbell a member of the commission for this state on uniform legislation.

STEAL WINE FROM
 CARLOAD SHIPMENT

carload of wine enroute to Scran- ton, Pa, from a California winery was broken open at Tucson a few days ago and six barrels of wine stolen from the car, according to word received by the office of the prohibition director in this city. The wine was to be used for sacramental purposes.
 Agents of the prohibition depart ment have recovered two full barrels and part of another barrel and arrest ed two men at Tucson on a charge of breaking into the car, according to ad- vices.
 The men under arrest are c. J. O'Keefe and Tex Vfrden. Virden is said to be an inmate of the soldier hospital near Tucson. O'Keefe and Virden were arraigned before the United States commissioner at Tucson and bond set at $1,500 each. O'Keefe furnished bond, but Virden was unable to arrange suitable bail and he was re- manded to the custody of the sheriff pending his hearing in federal court.
 Agents of the prohibition department hope to locate the remainder of the stolen wine when they locate another member of the party said to have been with Virden and O'Keefe.

ID INTERVENE IN
 MINING CO. ACTION

As a result of the visit of. George N. Brown of Washington, D. C.. former chief examiner for the interstate com merce commission and now attorney for the minority stockholders of the Schuyikill Mining company, the state corporation commission yesterday de- cided to intervene in the proceedings brought by the minority stockholders for the appointment of a receiver for the property of the company, the old Tennessee mine in Mohave county. A hearing on the petition will take place at Kingnan tomorrow.
 On account of the absence from the state of Assistant Attorney General Candy, attorney for the corporation commission, Lloyd W. Jones was yes- terday appointed for this hearing.
 Some weeks ago, on the complaint of the minority stockholders, the corpora tion commission issued an order direct ing the mining company to submit its books for inspection and ordered it to take no action that would change the status of the company. The order with respect to the books has not been com piled with and if all that is alleged is true, the status has been so changed that the minority stockholders are in perilous plight.
 The commission yesterday entered an order permitting the Verde Tunnel Railroad company to increase its ex- press rates 25 per cent.

Captain Loop has not determined,

Few new ones were built during

Freight cars carry only 20 per

Freight ears stand idle, waiting to
