packers do not abide by the injunc-

the arrangement, he will at once hale
them to court on contempt proceed

Asked why butter, eggs, cheese
and poultry were not included in the
decree, Mr.. Palmer said these prod
ucts were handled under refrigera-
tion and normally belong to the
butcher business. He explained that
the decree will allow the govern
ment to force the packers to quit
handling them, if it is thought wise
or necessary.
Senator France, of Maryland,
ciashed with Mr.. Palmer, when he
said:
"Here are multi-millionaires sus-
pected Of committing a crime, and
they, through an agreement with
the government, are practically
granted immunity, while this very

Justice are going about getting evil

leaders. Will they be allowed to
make an agreement and get away?"
Nj. Palmer angrily retorted that

CHAS. r. WILLIS JOINS AR|z. MINING JOURNAL

Charles F. Willis, one of the best known mining authorities in the west, has associated himself with the Ari- zona Mining Journal. This arrange ment was concluded with R. A. Wat kins, the owner of the Journal, some weeks ago. Mir. Willis arrived in the city yesterday, bringing his family, and will make Phoenix his place of resi- dence.
 Mir. Willis was for four years di- rector of the State Bureau of Mines. Two years ago he resigned that posi- tion to enter the service of Phelps Dodge and Co. He has chosen his new field for the reason that he believes that he will be better able to serve the mining industry in that position. He has received congratulations from the leading mining men of the country on the opportunity which is now af- forded him. During the war he was extensively engaged in war work and is yet secretary for the state of the committee on Armenian relief.

NEW YEARS DAY ENDS TWENTIETH YEAR IN BUSINESS IN PHOENIX

The twentieth anniversary of the firm of Elvey and Hulett in the retail drug business in Phoenix was cele- brated New Years day. Few business establishments in this city can lay claim to that many years of success full operation. and certainly few. if any. can point to the record of a score Of years with an unchanging personnel in ownership or management.
 The year just closed has seen the most prosperous of any, it is an nounced. As Phoenix has grown and prospered, so has the store of Elvey and Hulett, and with the coming of 1920 and the close of a score of years business, the proprietors, thankful for the good that has come to them, see only the bright future in store.
 The Elvey and Hulett firm was or ganized 20 years ago by Mrs. Mary A. Elvey and Arthur c. Hulett. Mrs. EIvey has lived in Phoenix for 26 years. The first place of business was in the old National Bank of Arizona building at Central avenue and Wash ington street, where the store was continued in operation for II years. In 1910 the store was moved to the pres ent location of the Rosenweig jewelry store. where it remained until five years ago when the corner store in the O'Neill building at First avenue and Adams street was remodeled es- pecially for the Elvey and IIulett store. At that time that firm was considered to be a pioneer in that locality. but with the building up of the city and enlargement of the busi- ness district it has become one of the best locations in Phoenix.
 During every day of the 20 years that Elvey and Hulett have been in business in this city the firm has car ried an advertisement in The Re- publican.
