GEORGE BABBITT
 DIES SUDDENLY

George Babbitt, chairman of the democratic state cen tral committee and one of the leading business men of the state, dropped dead at 1920 o'clock Wednesday morning while in the office of County Treasurer M. A. Murphy, in Flagstaff. This information was received over the long distance phone by the Arizona Gazette.
 Mr. Rabbit was appar- ently in his usual health and had entered the office of the treasurer with Craig Pot tinger, editor and publisher of the Northern Arizona Leader. He was in excel lent spirits and after con- versing for a few minutes suddenly remarked that he was not feeling we'll. He started to rise, fell over and died in the arms of Treasurer Murphy. Heart trouble was ascribed as the cause.
 He was about sixty years of age and was one of five brothers, composing the firm of Babbitt Brothers, leaders in finance and business in the northern part. of the state. They have a chain of mercantile establishments extending from Holbrook to Kingman and Oatman with headquarters at Flagstaff. Recently they have estab- lished a wholesale branch in Phoenix. Several years ago they established an automo- bile business with headquart- CTS in Phoenix and branches throughout the state and Fl Paso.
 Perhaps the largest bus mess interests of the Bab- pitts is in live stock. Both their cattle and sheep outfits are among the largest in the state.
 While never seeking office for himself, George Babbitt has always taken interest in politics and long has been re- garded as one of the big factors in the democratic party in Arizona. For sev- eral months past he has been persistently mentioned as a possible candidate for the democratic nomination for governor, but he declined to make any announcement.
 Two years ago Mir. Bab- hitt was made chairman of the democratic state ex- ecutive committee and held that position when he died. He was a delegate to the St. Louis convention four years ago which renominated Will son and Marshal. Gazette.
 The funeral services of George Rabbit, who died Wednesday morning, will be held tomorrow morning at Flagstaff. Interment will be in Flagstaff, it having been a wish expressed by him some time ago that when he died he wished to be buried where he had lived for so many years.
 The branch stores extend ing all over the state will be closed during the funeral.

THE LYMAN DAM
 GETS MORE MONEY

By unanimous action of
 the State Loan Board, the state will loan an additional $315, 900 for the completion of the Lyman dam on the
 Little Colorado river near St. Johns. This makes a total of $555, 900 loaned by the state on this project which was started by a Denver syndicate and the Fred T. Colter interests of Apache county. The sum of $195, : 900 was invested by private capital in the first dam which went out in 1915. In addi- tion the company has ex- pended $138, GOO on the pres- ent structure bringing the total cost of construction of $888, 900. This loan in- creases the. indebtedness against each of the fifteen thousand acres under the project from $25 to $45.
 In view of the fact that land under irrigation in the same vicinity is valued at $150 an acre the board feels that the state is amply pro- tected. A. B. Fleishman, an engineer of the state high way department, who came here recently from Cali fornia, was appointed by the board to take charge of con- struction. The state high way department agreed to furnish plans and specified tions. This will call for the type of construction, it being decided to use large quantities of lime rock in preference to dirt and gravel. Twenty thousand cubic yards of this rock will be placed on. the toe of the dam, and this will permit of the release of any seepage water in the dam or from the adjacent hillsides. Fifty thousand cubic yards of earth material will rest against the rock and provide additional mass. Up stream from this and against the water will be placed thirty-six thousand yards of earth material selected for impervability, and on this will be laid a rip rap of lime stone to prevent wave action. As soon as the specifications are completed the board will call for bids and the work will be completed as soon as possible. The fifteen mile canal will be completed in thirty days and a survey has been ordered to extend the canal fifteen miles farther, bringing an additional six thousand acres under the prof ect.

GOULD DIVORCE
WAR NOW IN u. S.
Paris Jurisdiction Challenged
by Wife in Startling Plea.

NEW YORK. April 24-The battle
ground for the marital wrangles OF
Frank ]. Gould, millionaire, was shifted
from Paris to New York today.
Mrs. Edith Kelly Gould. the actress sec
ond wife, from whom Gould was grant
ed divorce in French courts last spring
has filed a counter action for divorce
here. claiming that the French courts had
no jurisdiction.
Startling charges Of Gould's intemper
ance and wild mode of living are con
talned IN the complaint fled in New
York.
Mrs. Gould charged that it was her
husbands custom to drink a quart OF
whisky daily before a. m. after which
he would sleep until afternoon and then
resume drinking" From 1911 to 1918,
she charged. Gould was in an habitual
state of intoxication.
During these protracted drinking pc
Rods, Mrs. Gould charged, 1t was prac-
tically impossible to get her husband 10
battle oftener than once a month.
She also charged frequent unfalthful-
ness with various French women in
Paris during the period OF their mar
riage-from 1911 TO 1918.
They were married in Scotland and
separated in 1918 in Paris.

SOFT DRINKS TO
SOAR HERE MAY I

The price of ice cream sodas, sundaes,
milk shakes and other soft drinks will
be advanced, beginning May 1.
Members of the Indianapolis Associa-
ton of Retail Druggists at a meeting
at the Chamber of Commerce formed a
minimum schedule of soft drink prices
for this summer.
The following minimum schedule, plus
war tax, was adopted:
Ice cream sodas, 15c.
Sundaes, 15c.
Milk shakes 15c.
Matted milk, 20c.
Ice cream cones, &c.
Coco cola, phosphate drinks, root beer
and similar drinks, &c.
1t is also announced that large foun-
tains and confectionery stores, where
there is extra service in serving the
drinks, may exceed the minimum prices
of the new schedule.
The druggists claim the high price of
sugar is the underlying cause of the pro-
posed increase in the prices of soft
drinks.
The druggists also decided to retail
ice cream in the bulk at 70 cents a quart
for strawberry and 65 cents for vanilla,
An increase from 81 20 a gallon to $1.3J
a gallon for ice cream, wholesale, was de-
cided upon.
Stanley Wyckoff, fair price commits
sioner, said today that there was no
justification for a charge of 8 cents for
coca cola or other soft drinks, and that
the manufacturers also would fight this
increase.
Bottled coco cola will retail at 10
cents this summer because the druggists
claim IL costs more to handle bottled
drinks because Of the extra cost of icing.
