TONY JOHNS FRIENDS RUN HIM FOR GOVERNOR;
 HE SAYS, WAIT; SEE'

PHOENIN. March Son the theory that no representative demo. crat has yet indicated that he would run for governor, Tony Johns of Prescott will become a candidate. it was learned from an authoritative sCmce tonight.
 Only two definite announcements .Iavc been made to date, those of Jesse L. BOyce and Charlie Roberts. MulIord Winsor is expected to off, cially c2s, his hat into the ring in the near future if he does not decide to run for the senate against Mark Smith. None of these answer the requirements of the old fashioned middle of the road democracy. ac- cording to Johns friends and on this EroInd they have at last induced the Gavapa:an to enter the race
 If Nit Sims were to come out or some other man of position and in frence be announced such as Jimmy Douglas, it would change Johns mind they say, but nothing else could. As matters stand now Johns car definitely be considered d candi- date for :Le democratic nomination for governor.

ARE SEEKING MAN
 FOR SENATE
Special to the Journal-Miner.

Special to the Journal-Miner.
 PHOENIN. March S.-Mark Smith IS distinctly the subject of intra-party opposition, it has be come known here, following confer ences among some of the earnest and leading democrats. A candidate is being sought by party leaders, who can at one and the same shot, win the support of the conservatives in the general party, and satisfy the un ion labor vote, especially the railroad votc which is much offended at Mark Smiths reputed support of the Esch-Cummings railroad reorganiza- ton bill.
 The veteran senator's explanation in Tucson that he did not vote for the bill. and that he wasn't even present in the senate chamber when it was voted on, has not satisfied the brotherhood members. who have been told that if Mark really was against the measure he might have had himself paired with some sena- tor favoring it. Smith was on the border, attending hearings into the Mexican situation, as a member ot the foreign relations subcommittee headed by Senator Fall of New Mex ico, at the time the compromise rail road bill was passed.
 Eyes are being turned to Supreme Court Justice Henry D. Ross and to Superior Judge Rawleigh (. Stan ford of MariCopa county. Judge Ross term will not expire next year, but his friends are firmly believing that he would make a stunning race for the nomination for senator. Judge Stanford is conceded to be a i strong man in Maricopa county, which this year will roll up a heavy vote. The judge is also well known outside his own county. for his work in the Superior court has been widely known through important cases, in- | cluding the Hunt-Campbell contest and the famous adjutant-general case.
 The virtual elimination of Mr. | Hunt as a factor in ticket-making in this state has caused a whole barrel l full of aspirants. many of them not of the desirable kind to party chiefs. | to spring up. There is fear that some of these may divide the liberal i and radical element against Smith | and give the old pioneer a walk away. Hence the effort to concen- l trate attention upon a democrat of | such commanding proportions that | he will at once draw to himself all | elements opposing Smith and make | more certain a new face i'll Arizona's 1 congressional delegation.

MEDITERRANEAN PICKEDAPPAREL
 FOR BRIDE
(From Tuesdays Dailv.l

Too much "in-law" wrecked the brief married life of Mir. and Mrs. Edgar Hartsheld of Jerome, accord ing to complaint for divorce filed yesterday by Marie Hartsheld
 Mir. Martsheld's mother had to be consulted by her before purchasing wearing apparel, she alleges. She was not permitted to associate with her own relatives. Her husband be- gan his persecution by skipping her face last summer. When she had stood it long enough, he telephoned her that she might as we'll clear out, that she needn't come here.
 The Hartsfelds were married in Prescott on January % 1919. The defendant is 40 years old, his wife says. He owns a couple of improved lots in Prescott. worth $5000, and six lots in Tucson that she estimates are worth $3000 He makes $250 a month.
 The plaintiff explains her present abode with relatives in Maricopa county by saying that she cannot earn a living i'll Prescott, and, as her husband has turned her out, she must needs live with relatives elsewhere. She asks $100 a month alimony and $100 counsel's fees, together with costs of the suit

MARRIED SCORE OF YEARS, ASKS
 A DIVORCE

Deserted after a long period of cruelties and eNcesses, including false assertions that he was a dope field, " and had immoral relations with other women, Herbert L. Fulton yes terday asked the Superior court of Navapai county to end a marriage that had existed for 2 years.
 Fulton's complaint alleges that he married his wife Helen in Cook coun- ty, H., in June. 1898. Just a year ago this month, at Brawley. Califor- mia, she deserted him, after having for long time subjected him to her nagging, which was without cause.
 Mrs. Fulton, the complaint reads, systematically tried to ruin her hus- bands business &s a druggist She frequently told persons that she con trolled the drug business in\which he was engaged. At one time, he de- clares. she stole the key to his safety deposit box and attempted to get by the bank officials and open the box.
 Her malicious accusations, he says. were often made in the presence of others. and tended to injure him in their eyes. He denies that he used drugs or was other than loyal hus- band during all those 2 years of married life. There were no children.

WILSON AGAIN GIVES STAND

WASHINGTON, March S.-Pres- ident Wilson restated for demo- cratic senators today his opposition to any peace treaty reservations which would weaken the full force of Article X or materially impair pro- visions of the League of Nations covenant.

 Discussing Article X, the president wrote that there was mo escaping the moral obligations expressed in positive terms in this article" 7" though there could be no objection to explaining in an interpretation the constitutional method by which such an obligation would have to be full filled. The very heart of the CO., venant, he reiterated, would be i'm periled by weakening Article X.

Still Noncommital

There is nothing for me to say at the present time," said Senator Johns when shown the above disa patch at the "Journal-AIiner" office yesterday.
 The senator admitted that there were some friends of his in Phoenix who were probably the source of the dispatch, engaged at this time in talking him over as a governorship candidate. Personally, l have no ambitions along that line. l want to see Arizona well governed, and have at times tried 10 take a hand in off cial life because l hoped to be able to see better work than l thought some others might do."
 From his manner of making these terribly verbose statements. it is in terred that the president of the sen ate would rather head the demo- cratic ticket for governor than to see the nomination go to someone who has not proven himself worthy of the confidence of the democratic party. He spoke of the attempts of the middle of the road democracy to settle on Charles B. Ward, a Phoe- nix attorney, as a candidate. and also said that the project had probably failed by reason of the uncertain health of Mir. Ward.

 Governor Thomas Campbell. who was in the city yesterday, is trying to find out, for the reason that some body has $70,000 which he desires to donate to the state.
 The money is in Mexican treasury notes, declared not to be negotiable at face value just now, but believed to be good at any tune when Mex ico's embarrassment IS over
 The notes came due in 1885, $15,000 worth. and very few of the coupons were clipped. The face value of the notes and unclipped coupons now toal approximately S70,000

By Associated Pressl

WASHINGTON, March S.-Cor- poration dividends distributed as stock do not constitute income" and are not subject to federal income taxes, the Supreme court decided to- day in a five to four decision
 Provisions of the 1910 federal in- come tax law levyiug taxes on stock dividends were declared unconstitu- tional
 The decision also nullifed similar provisions of the present law and will involve great loss in revenues to the government and refunds of such taxes already collected. Large financial interests likewise will he af- fected and numerous stock dividends of generous proportions are expect ed to be declared soon.
 In holding stock distributions are not dividends on account of no sep aratiOn of corporate assets being in- volved, Justice Pitney for the ma JOrity declared stock shares "arc nothing except paper certificates in assets. are not realized profits and therefore are not taxable.
 The attempt of congress to tax stock distribution the majority de- cided to be uncOnStitutional and not permitted by the 10th or income tax amendment. Stock the majority held may be taxed only after stockholders realize on them by sale in which case the may levy income taxes on such profits.
 All four dissenting justices con tended congress had power to tax stock dividends, holding such divi- dends are income" the same as if in cash. The 10th amendment. the minority declared. is broad enough to justify the tax.
