QUESTION RIGHTS
 OF MADAME MANOS
Morsano6c WHe's Action to Have Seals, Of Alexander,s Appointment
 Removed is to Rc Contested.

Athens. Nov. 7.-The question of the legal rights of Madame Manos, morganatic wife of the late King Alexander seems likely to create some dif1iculty according to leading jurists of Greece.
 Her attorney on Thursday last asked the court to remove the seals from the appointment of the dead king. asserting Madame Manos through her marriage anu Iaso be- cause of her approaching mother hood would legally inherit AIexander's property.
 An attorney acting for former King Constantine then asked the court to suspend decision while the attorney considered whether the foEmer monarch would institute action in opnosition. He declared CeRsta9tine tntepSed to contend that the marriage of Madame Manos and Alexander was inNalia and that Alex apder's property shonld pass to his father apd bsothers.
 Ehould Eepxt3ntine take legal ac- fen ip the premises the jurists point put, if would constitute an admission that he is no longer king of Greece, as the ohisf of sxate being the dis Peaser of Ssstice, cannot appeal to Abe courts ..s.55t
 There is also speculation here as to the status of the child to be born to Madame Manos.

GOVERNOR CAMPBELL. CHALLENGES S|MMS
 ID PUBLIC DEBATE

GLENDALE. Sept. 2S-Addressing the largest political meeting ever held in Glendale, Governor Thomas F. Campbell tonight told his audience that the issue between himself and his op ponent in the campaign for governor had been sharply drawn. He favored the preservation of the heritage of the people of Arizona-the state lands-to be administered now and in the future for the benefit of all the people, he declared.
 His opponent was championing the methods at present employed by the land board of which he is member, for grazing and by a system of con solidation of dummy leases and re- leases, was faviring perpetuating of leases to the stockmen on this land, thus tying up this heritage to a single interest the cattle industry.
 "If you favor turning this cast heritage of 100000 acres over to the cattlemen, vote for my opponent" the governor said, flor if I am elected, shall do all in my power to see that this immense land grant is admins tered in behalf of all the people and not one particular interest, that in future years when our mines are exhausted. Arizona may take her place as one of the great agricultural commonwealths of the union.
 Governor Campbell repeated his challenge, issued to Nit Simms at the meeting in Phoenix, to meet him upon any platform in the state and debate the merits of this controversy. q will state my case; let him state his then the people at the election in November may decide between us,'' the governor concluded.
 The governor also called attention to the fact that when he assumed office January 1, 1919, he found a big deficit facing the treasures of all state insti- tutions; that these deficits had been wiped out and the state institutions administered the past fiscal year at a savings of $140,000 with the single ex- ception of the state hospital for the mental sick, where a deficit of s16,00C was more than offset by the fact that the percentage of cures.
 Governor Campbell also dwelt upor reclamation and declared that as the Republican National administration mad been the only one that ever diC anything along these lines, not a single ne wproject having been launched il the seven years of the Wilson admin istration, it was but. natural to pre- sume that Arizona would reap greater benefits by electing state officials friendly to the administration of War ren G. Harding, who was to be tht
 next president, than by putting il | state officials who would be in oppo
 sition to the forthcoming presidential administration.

Market News s5

NEW YORK, Sept. 29.-Extension of the recent readjustment in the various commodity and merchandise markets was primarily responsible for the lr- regular depreciation of quoted values on the stock exchange today.
 One of the significant developments as affecting the general credit situa- ton was the news that the federal re- serve bank of Kansas City had ad- Vanced discounts on Liberty bonds and victory notes from 515 to per cent
 Announcement of additional price revision by automobile manufacturers, a sharp cut in steel plates and sus- pension of operations at three Of the mines of the Anaconda Copper com pany in Montana testified to the un- settled conditions in many lines of raw and fabricated materials.
 The Iron Age confirmed reports of further shrinkage of iron and steel buying, due chiefly to the state of the automobile trade and predictions were freely made of an early reduction in pig. iron and refined coppers.
 Stocks opened at materially higher levels, especially in the transportation division, but reacted abruptly before midday when heavy selling, particular ly of professional origin, was resumed throughout the entire list Variable rallies ensued in the final dealings re- gardless of a rise in call loans to per cent. Sales were 900.000 shares.
 Foreign exchange moved against home centers. the London rate falling almost 3 cents under its maximum of the early week.
 Speculative rails and local fractions were strong features of the bond mar ket, Liberty issues showing mixed changes, with no especial alteration ot international prices. Total sales, par value, aggregated s15.775, ,000. old United States bonds remained un- changed on call.
