ATTORNEY GENERAL
 SEEKS ID AID THE
 REPUBLICAN PARTY

Attorney General Wiley E. Jones, in a letter to Governor Campbell yester- day, informed the governor that the people should have legislation enab- ling the county supervisors to manu : facture road building material; that a law against profiteering is required and that he win prepare one; that the ratification of the woman suffrage amendment is very important, and that he does not deem 1t necessary to call to the governors attention various other important considerations.
 Coming, as the letter does, from one Of the most prominent democrats in the state. the hearty letter of the at- torney general is said to have made everybody in administration circles feel a lot better, for they realize that now abundant support is at hand in the event the governor and the repub- lican party prove unable to manage the affairs of Arizona's 250,oOO popula- tion.
 In his letter the attorney general said:
 "The deep interest which the people of the state and the various counties thereof have in highway construction, at this time. within the state, has made it manifest that some legislation should be enacted enlarging the powers of the boards of supervisors, to enable them, without question, to provide for the manufacture and production of road material necessary for the construction of our public highways. The arbitrary action of the cement trust and the high cost of transportation of highway ma- terial calls for the enlargement of the powers of the boards of supervisors for the protection of the people in such construction, and am urging this mat ter to your attention that the legisla- ture may be authorized by you to meet the situation, on calling said body in special session.
 Also this department is daily be- sieged with complaints of profiteering, engaged in by many throughout the state. yet the state of Arizona has no law by which this evil can be reached. and in the event of your calling the legislature in special session I suggest that it be authorized to legislate upon that subject, and I will have prepared a bill upon that subject, similar to the federal law, against profiteering, which took effect in October last, and thus enable prosecutions against profiteer- ing to be conducted in the name of the state of Arizona.
 Unless the above subjects are em- bodied in your call said evils. so bit terly complained of, will have to be borne by the people until the next regular session in 1921.
 .The ratification of the female suf- frage amendment to the United States constitution is understood by me, c. course, to be the main subject of your call for the special legislative session Other matters of importance have been called to your attention for submission to the legislature which do not deem ir necessary to urge further to your notice.'

FLAME 0F THE YUKON AT THE PLAZA TELLS IF DAYS Of COLD RUSH

The drama and the tragedy of the rush for gold in Alaska is depicted in "The Flame of the Yukon" in which Dorothy Dalton is starring, which will be shown at the Plaza theater today and tomorrow.
 The time of this Triangle play is in the days of '98 when the gold mad crowds sought to uncover the wealth of the frozen north, when there was no law of God or man in the camps draw decided the question of whether he would live to get back to the States with his fortune.
 Miss Dalton is "The Flame" One night she is told by Black Jack Hovey, the owner of the dance hall, to pluch stranger. who seems to have his belt we'll filled with gold. In the process of plucking him she discovers the stranger is throwing bluff and that it is sand instead of gold dust in his belt.
 When stampede is on for a new stranger. telling him not to come back if he fails to strike pay dirt. After he leaves she decides to give up her man. ner of living and through the lonely artic winter she waits for the return of the man who has won her love.
 The stranger strikes it rich but on his return is told that "The Flame" is dead. His fortune is won by Black Jack and his crooked faro game. The Flame returns to the dance hall and pays Black Jack back in his own coin, winning back the fortune the stranger lost Then comes the big scene in the show when Dorothy Dalton gives up the man she loves to the woman she thinks has a better claim on him, only to find that in so doing she has made it easier for the stranger to de- clare his love for her.

DEHY PARENTS Right TO CHILD
State Supreme Court Hands Down Its
Decision in the Wichita Ha-
beas Corpus Case.

4 parent of child who has become
public charge is not entitled to the
knowledge of the whereabouts of the
child after it has been awarded to
custody by the juvenile court; further
more, the district has no power to
compel the juvenile court or it's agent
to divulge the information pertaining
to such child. The supreme court
made ruling to this effect in the
habeas corpus proceedings brought by
George L. Hosford Of Wichita, super
intendent Of an orphan children's So
Hosford, who had refused in the dis
trict court of Sdgwick County to tell
the whereabouts of Ethel Hook, pos
session of whom was sought by the
child's mother, Mrs. Myrtle Curtis
The court ordered Hosford's arrest for
contempt of court and he brought the
habeas corpus proceedings. He was
ordered discharged by the decision.
Following the divorce of the chi1d's
parents, the mother was financially
unable to care for the children. The
juvenile court gave Hosford's chill
dren's society the custody, and the
crild was placed in a home in Okla
homa. Later the mother married, be
came financially able to care for the
girl, and sought possession of her
through the court in which the. divorce
was granted.

LACK OF GRAIN CARS ACUTE
southwestern Interests Charge Dis
elimination by Car Service Conn
mission in Favor of Northwest

Kansas City.-The ire of the Kansas
City Board Of Trade and Chamber Of
Commerce officials was aroused re-
gently when it became apparent that
few, if any, freight cars are being as
signed to the Southwest to move grain
and thereby relieve tight money"
conditions
When it was learned that a major
ity of the freight cars are being sent
to the Northwest, grain dealers and
bankers, working IN conjunction with
Chamber Of Commerce heads, re-
doubled their efforts to obtain cars
to move the 1919 grain
H F. Hall Of the HallBaker Grain
Company, who has been at Washing
ton for some time investigating the
situation, wired Board of Trade off
Gals that he had taken UP the matter
with c. H. Kendall, chairman Of the
car service section of the American
Railway Association, and that he had
been advised to get the facts in the
matter and forward them to Mr.. Ken
dali
The telegram aroused considerable
indignation in local grain circles, as
it was stated that Kendall had been
kept fully informed OF the situation
for some time and the putting off
hearing Mr.. Hall by such a request
was merely an attempt on his part to
avoid the issue
A telegram was dispatched immedi-
ately by Mr. Hall, stating the facts
in the case and a copy sent to him
of the long telegram sent by the
Board of Trade, the Chamber of Com
meTce and local bankers TO Edgar E.
Clark, chairman OF the interstate COM
merce commission, giving the situation
fully. At the same time another tele-
gram was sent by the Board OF Trade
to MI Kendall.
The local men contend that no bust
ness is safe from embarrassment until
the grain crop is moved. Business men
in virtually every Kansas and Okla
homa grain section are waiting for the
sale of the wheat in order to collect
their outstanding accounts and pay
their own creditors. The effect is
said to be far-reaching, localities where
no grain is produced feeling the re-
sulting strain In addition the price
of grain in the East is being kept up
to an artificial price.

REPLIES TO ALIENS QUERIES
Samuel Gompers Head of American
Federation, Claims the Rights Of
Labor Are Paramount

Washington public has no
rights superior to the toiler's right to
live and to his right to defend himself
against oppression" Samuel Gompers
declares in his deferred replies to
three questions asked him by Govern
or Allen Of Kansas in their debate at
New York May %. Mr.. Gompers's
replies were made public recently by
the American Federation of Labor.
Gov. Allen answered whether the
public had any rights in a strike "af-
fecting the production or distribution
Of the necessities of life, thus threat
ening the public peace and impairing
the public health and if so, how
would Mr.. Gompers protect those
rights. He asked who controlled the
divine right" to order employees to
quit work.
Declaring that union men and wom-
en- formed one-fourth of the public, Mr..
Gompers said in such strikes as de-
scribed by Governor Allen, "the public,
including union men, has rights, and
the striking union is the first to recog-
nize those rights" He argued, how
ever, that few strikes actually threat
ened the public peace and fewer be
come menace to the public health"
Strikes in which the public peace
has been threatened" he said, usually
have been strikes in which the en-
ployers, or public officials influenced
by employers, have created the breach
Of peace by the use of thugs, armed
guards and detectives.
Labor" continued Mr.. Gompers.

to the public, of which it is a part
1.-The right to strike must be and will
be maintained, not only as a measure
Of self defense and self advancement,
but as a measure necessary to public
progress. The strike has won its right
to a post of honor among the insti-
tutions of free civilization, and the
temporary inconvenience it has caused
is but a small price for the permanent
benefits it has brought
AS to Governor Aliens question re-
garding who controlled the divine
right to order employees to strike,

What is said to be the first init
nation that gold may exist in paying
quantities in Kansas since early in
the Cos has come to light in the dis
covery of the metal in a bluff mile
south Of the town of Augusta, in But
Ter county, once the center of the mid
die Kansas oil fields. The gold has
been discovered by c. A. Calkins, a
veteran miner from Nevada. The ore
found there assays nearly $50 ton,
Calkins says. Not only gold, but
traces of platinum and silver have
been found in ali the ore yet extrac-
ted from the ground. Calkins located
the vein of ore in February. Funds
running short, he organized a company
with some large Butler county oil
operators and shaft has been sunk
to the depth Of seventy feet. 1t is
reported the vein is becoming richer.

NEWS ITEMS FROM
ALL OVER KANSAS
Happenings of More or Less
Interest Gathered From
Many Sources.
NO EXTREMES IN MAY WEATHER
State MeteeroIogist Report Says That
Wheat Made Good Growth, But
the Rainfall Was Light.

Last month was the only May in
thirty-three years when the mercury
In Kansas failed to touch the century
mark or fall below freezing, according
TO the monthly weather report issued
by S. D. Flora, state meteorologist.
The highest temperature reported was
So degrees at Norwich and Wallace
and the lowest was 80 degrees, which
was recorded at several western
weather bureau stations. The month
was exceptionally cloudy and rainy.
The average rainfall over the western
third of the state was 800 inches; the
middle third, 3.28 inches; the western
third, 2.74 inches, and for the entire
state. 3.11 inches or .86 of an inch be-
low normal. The heaviest monthly
amount was $50 inches at Walnut and
the Iightest fall of rain was 1.18 inches
at Randolph. Practically all the west
ern half had more than the normal
amount of moisture while the eastern
half was generally deficient as COM
pared with the average of other Mays.
Wheat made an excellent growth
during the month There are some re-
ports Of it growing too much to straw
in the low fields in the eastern part of
the state and some damage from
ch1ch bugs and fly. It's condition is
reported to be the best ever in many
places. Corn made rather slow
growth on account of lack Of sunshine
and hot weather. Potatoes made a
fine growth and the garden and truck
crops Jared well.

joined in shouting approval at Senator
Lodges call to the party to rise up
and sweep the Wilson dynasty out of
power.
But as conventions go, it was tame
it seemed as if some of the factions
felt that the ice was thin.
Half an hour late in starting, the
convention jumped quickly to its work.
Hays Greeted by Cheers.
First came the national chairman,
who received a roar of cheers from
the delegates, and then the Rt. Rev.
Charles E. Woodcock of Louisville,
KY, whose opening prayer, waited
through sound amplifiers, reached
every part of the hall.
The crowd that had been reverently
silent during the prayer, shuffled its
feet and kept up a continuous rattle OF
talk while the secretary, in droning
tone, read the formal call for the
meeting. A little earlier it had roared
with laughter at the acrobatic antics
of song leader as he followed Chair
man Hays to the tongue of the plat
form to lead the singing and cheers.
There was roar of approval from
the delegates when Chairman Hays de-
clared that the Republican party had
met in free and open convention ito
accept from the people a mandate for
the government of the United States -
A second outburst came a moment
later when he shouted There will be
no bolt in this convention"
The appearance of Senator Lodge,
who had been escorted to the stage
from his place on the floor with the
Massachusetts delegation, was the sig
nal for the first real demonstration
of the day.

the delegates, cheering and waving
flags.

The Kansas coal fields are expert
encing the worst shortage Of cars in
the history of the fields. Thirty-six
mines were made idle from this cause.
Returns compiled at the headquarters
Of the Southwestern Interstate Coal
Operators Association indicate there
had been very little improvement, if
any, in the situation. The production
of the coal field has been curtailed
at least one-third by the shortage of
cars. Even mines that are under man
agement or control of railroad COM
panies are denied cars. The shortage,
which has prevailed for some time, ap-
pears increasingly serious with the ap-
proach OF the wheat harvest with the
movement of grain which must follow.
Threshermen already have been noti-
fled by the Kansas board of agricu-
ture to make an investigation of the
supply of coal in the towns of the
state.
