POLITICS OVERSHADOWS
WEEKS STOCK MARKET

NEW YORK. June 12.-Interest in
the stock market this week was at
all times eclipsed by political de-
velopments. the republican national
convention overshadowing the usual
financial, industrial and commercial
considerations.
Trading was limited to the profess
sional elements and prices were I'M
certain at best, aside from the
strength of a few selected industrials
and specialities and a moderate re-
versal in rails, the latter due to the
cut In Chicago and Northwestern
dividends.
Heaviness OF rails became more
marked later, when announcement
was made of new $15.0 900 offer
ing by Northwestern. This gave rise
necessary to como into the money
market
Industrial conditions improved on
further easing of the recent freight
blockade. The United States Steel
Corporation reported another large
gain in tonnage for May. bringing
total untitled orders to the highest
point in almost three years.
In trade circles. however there
tivity and downward revisions of
price schedules for fan delivery.
Coppers were Influenced by similar
conditions. plus the sharp break In
silver.
Credit restrictions were again conn
try-wide, the local market eyincinR
greater firmness even for call money
center and the increased bullion hold
ings Of the Bank Of Englnd revived
rumors OF further gold exports to
this market.

BY STUART p. WEST.

NEW YORK. June 12-The stock
| market this week has given abundant
proof of sold-out condition. 1t has
done very well as it is 1t would have
done still better had 1t not been for
the uncertainty of what might hap
pen at the Chicago convention. The
test of a market is its ability to stand
up under unfavorable news and for
| the most part the outside surround
ings all week have not been favor
able.

or last Saturday showed no indication
whatever that the measures taken to
bring about credit defiation were

further expansion of commercial loans

tender at y per cent, had been pretty
well expected after the action of the
various federal reserve banks at the
close of May In putting up their dis
count rates. Still 1t was one more in
dication of the increased cost of credit
and OF the consequent Increased re-
turn which investors in securities
have a right to expect. United States
! government bonds lost good part of
| their gain and the improvement in the
general bond list which had looked
SO promising a fortnight ago was
abruptly checked.
Industry slows Down.
Along with this came fresh reports
of the slowing down in various indus
trial lines. The government cotton
report gave forth the lowest condition
estimate on record. The report on the
wheat crops. while showing some
slight Improvement. was not up to
expectations. Call money on the
stock exchange was extremely stiff.

WOOL GROWERS OF TEXAS
 ASK WAR PAYMENTS

Texas wool men have appealed to the secretary of war, Newton D. Bak- CT, for more than $1,000,000 which they claim is due them for wool they sold the government during the war in addition to the compensation they have already received. According to information that has come to Fl Paso from Washington. Congressman Claude B. Hudspeth, of Fl Paso, is representing wool men around San Angelo in their claim. \
 Reports from Washington say that the wool situation in the United States, particularly in the west, is very serious, due to the competition of wool from the Argentine. Wool from the Argentine is selling in Amer ica for 9 cents a pound while the American wool growers say it is cost ing them cents a pound to market their product.
 There now is in storage in the Unit ed States 996,000,0 ,000 pounds of wool. Of this years clip 95 per cent remains unsold.

APACHE COUNTY GIRLS
 ARE PRIZE WINNERS

The exhibit sof first year sewing work at the state fair put some of the little girls of St. Johns in the lime light and their friends are proud of their accomplishments.
 Clara, the little daughter of Mir. and Mrs. B. Y. Peterson, took three first prizes, one second and one third; Fay, daughter of Mir. and Mrs. Joy Patter- son, took one second prize; Lanora, daughter of Mrs. Lavenia Peterson, took one first and one second, and Edna, daughter of Mir. and Mrs. B. L. Gibbons, took one second and one third. In all, they took more than half the prizes offered in this class at the state fair. Besides their ribbons, they received cash prizes amounting to $500.
 Miss Stella Peterson, who last year won a gold medal and free trip to Tucson, this year had two exhibits in third year work and both took first prizes. During the past year Stella and her mother have had charge of the first year class, and it is of course due to their skillful training of the little girls that they have become so efficient with the needle. They may we'll be proud of the record made at the fair, where they had competition from all over the state.--St. Johns Observer.

bootlegger by the name of Bill Slaughter, J. c. Carter, a nineteen year old lad was shot through the ab- domen on last Monday, and as result of his injuries died Wednesday morn- ing. The shooting occurred in Gra- ham county, near Geronimo. The detailed cause of the fight was not learned, but it is understood to have been the outgrowth of drunken ar gument, started by Slaughter. It is claimed the dead man had no part in the matter other than to act the part of the peacemaker in trying to separ- arate the fighting men.
 Evidently infuriated through a use of liquor and also by the young mans interference in the fight, Slaughter is said to have picked up a 30-30 rife and fired point blank at Carter. The bullet entered the mans abdomen, just above the groin and lodged itself in the back, near the spinal column. While mortally wounded, Carter sur vived to tell the story, living until this morning.
 Slaughter, who is reported to be a moonshiner, bootlegger, gambler and generally bad man, was arrested by Sheriff Skaggs, of Graham county Miami Silver Belt.

THE STANDARD COM.
 PANY MAKES STATEMENT

The attention of the Standard Oil company, (California), has been call ed to articles appearing in Arizona newspapers describing a meeting near Phoenix, on November 23rd, where the Maricopa county highway program was discussed, which indicate that the impression has been created that the Standard Oil company is in some man. ner concerned in the Maricopa county highway bond litigation.
 The sole interest of the Standard Oil company, (California), in the Mar icopa county project ended last spring when the company's bid for furnishing Maricopa county with a certain quan- tity of asphalt-a bid called for by the highway commission-was not ac- cepted.
 This company has had no part what ever in the litigation in connection with the Maricopa bond issue. The Standard Oil company, (California), has made no effort to interfere-nor will it's policy permit such an attempt with the decision of the people and authorities of Maricopa or any other county, and in the Maricopa situa- ton has taken no action beyond sub hitting bid, and placing before the authorities statements concerning the use of asphaltum for paving and road building, in the manufacture and sale of which the company is engaged.

STEWART TO CARRY
 ELECTORAL VOTE TO CAPITOL

Frank L. Stewart, of Phoenix, is slated for the honor of taking the Ar izona electoral vote to Washington. his arrangement is said to be satisfac- tory with the other two republican electors. Under the law the electors must meet and give their vote on the second Monday in January, following which the result of this action will be taken to Washington.
 Theoretically all of the electoral delegates of the various states make up the electoral college which decides who is to be next president of United States, but in far western states it is customary to delegate one of the cleo tors. One of the duties of the gover- nor in this connection will be to cer- tify the names of the electors and votes in triplicate.

GLOBE OFFICERS CAPTURE
 BIGGEST STILL IN WEST

What is reported to be the biggest and most complete illicit whisky mak- ing outfit ever found in the southwest was uncovered by Deputies Sam Hard- wick and Bill Wilson recently in a property west of Miami.
 In addition to it's completeness the outfit was evidently company affair, cleverly concealed and operating on a large scale. A tunnel, the mouth of which was covered with brush, and boarded up behind the brush, was the avenue to big cave in which the out fit was found. The cave was man made, of sufficient size to accommo- date the entire equipment.
 The still proper was 30-gallon af- fair, equipped to deliver a maximum amount of juice in short time. As a means of heat the still rested on what had been a two-burner oil stove. This stove had been remodeled so that six burners could be employed at one time under the boiler.
 Aside from the still, five barrels containing fifty gallons each of corn mash and two sacks of corn together with miscellaneous equipment were found
 No arrests were made, there being nobody in the vicinity to claim the outfit. It is estimated that the equip ment had steady capacity of more than 50 gallons of white mule each 24 hours. The still has been brought to Globe. The mash will be destroyed without removing it from the proper ty, it is reported.

MAN KILLED OVER
 GIRLS SMASHED HAT

PHOENIX.-Ethel Finley went mo- toring Friday night with Bert Heed. In collision with an automobile driv- en by Edward Herwitz, Miss Finley's hat fell into the mud. The two men engaged in fist fight. Later Her witz was fatally shot. Heed was ar rested.
 Heed was said to have told the county attorney that the shooting was accidental. Miss Finley, a sister-in- law of Heed, gave the county attor- ney details of the fist fight, which she said was provoked by the damage to her hat. Heed is held on a coroner's warrant sworn out after Hewitz's death.
