Chiefs Happy.
Underchiefs of the miners organ
ization were happy Wednesday night
over what is regarded as com

er three days of debate and a
stormy windup in which a small
but noisy minority tried TO swing
the convention in favor of pOstpOn-

has made its award.

TO accept the presidents proposal of
settlement. Lewis said he had no de-
sire TO defeat the United States gov

CT shall never lead any Organi-
zation but an American organiza-
tion," Lewis declared. and if the
day ever comes when this organi-
zation is dominated by people who
are false TO American traditions that
day 1 will cease to be an officer of
it,"
Lewis pointed out that throughout
the 40 days strike not single life
was lost and said he was grateful
because no widows lamentations OF
walls of orphans assail our ears" He
said the organization had emerged
unscathed whereas continuation OF
the strike and revolt against the
government would have meant dis
aster and defeat"
Lewis promised delegates TO con
tinue the fight for their demands
for higher pay and shorter hours
and adjustment of local workine
conditions before the presidents
commission.

WEALTHY JEWEL MAN DIES IN
 AN ODD WAY

CHICAGO, July 3I.-Miss Ruth Woods, a pretty hotel cashier, who was alone with Samuel T. A. Lofts, head Of the diamond firm of Lofts Brothers, when he died suddenly in his luxurious apartments last night, told the police today that Lofts crum- pied to the floor dead after they had engaged in a friendly struggle"
 Following an autopsy, Dr. James f. Simonds, coroner's physician, made the statement that Lofts death was caused by a cerebral hemorrhage, produced by external violence. The injury probably was the result of Lofts fall, the physician said.
 Although the police admit that the diamond merchant died as a result of concussion of the brain, probably caused by the fall, they are not sat isfied with the conflicting stories told by Miss Woods and Roy NJ. Shanye, son Of late millionaire merchant

SURVEYORS GIVE ATTENTION ID
 DELTA MINE

The presence of parties at the Delta mine, located between the Sun dance and the Big Pine on the Hassayampa, gives rise to speculation as to the reopening of that property.
 Further than admitting that sampl- ing aand mineral surveying was being prosecuted to determine a basis for entering into a contract involving a possible further development of this property, those on the ground declin- ed to commit themselves.
 The presence of A. Bird, the veter- an bee-hunter, who is interested in a silver prospected adjoining the Delta, adds much to the opinion current i'll that district claims along the course of the Hassayampa will be developed by the sinking of shafts, even with the added water problem to contend with, rather than the tunnel method used by the Senator, Big Pine, and other properties, one exception be- ing the Sundance, which sank 400 foot shaft on ground west of the Senator.

r. 5. CLARK WELL FITTED FOR J. 5.
 SENATOR

Tn announcing his candidacy for
 United States senator of Arizona,
 Ion. F. s. Clark has yielded to a de-
 hand from friends and acquaintances. The necessity of having a man repre- sent the republican party i'll this con test, who has real ability. is apparent. Mir. Clark carries into this race a rep utation untarnished, poise unequaled and fund of information gathered from many years of active life and labor. In oratorical ability, there are few. if any, men in Arizona who can successfully match wits with him in debate. As a lawyer in the front ranks in this county and before the Supreme court in the state and the United States, he has made a record in presenting cases that were difficult to handle and intricate in setting with such ability as to easily place him in the front ranks of the lawyers of the southwest. His tactics have been commended for their absolute fair ness. He has never taken an unfair advantage of an opponent and has thereby made friends among the legal fraternity and among people who love a fair fighter His politeness under all circumstances is most remarkable.
 In the United States senate, Mr. Clark would be an admirable member, and would uphold the dignity of the state of Arizona. He would soon de velop into the same standards as a national figure as he is at present in the state of Arizona.
 For acquaintanceship few men in the state are more widely known than Mir. Clark As a campaigner he is a hard worker and logical minded. He is eminently fair and always willing to allow the other side of any con troversy a square deal. He has stood as man of modest and moderate means all his life.
 With E. s. Clark at Washington, under a republican administration, Arizona will have an advocate at court who will protect her interests. He is in the prime of life and yet old enough that his wisdom is seasoned by experience He has seen the cold, relentless hand of fate, he has run the gamut of life through joys and sorrows, and successes and failures. and knows the bitter and sweet of living.

LONGEST SCENIC ROAD ON THE
 GLOBE, PLAN

Communing with nature in order to connect the principal national parks of the west with a continuous auto mobile scenic highway of 4,500 miles, the longest in the world, is the stu pendous undertaking of the national park service, the American automo- bile association and the national park to-park highway association.

This scenic highway ,traversing nine western states, IS to be officially opened by officials of the national park service. including Stephen T. Mather. director of national parks, and others, in a tour starting from Denver August 25. The trip will take about 60 days.
 Congress will be asked for appro- priations for permanent improvement of the highway, which encircles a panoramic wonderland equal in area to most of the European countries and bids fair eventually to become the international recreation center of the world
 President E. S. Clark of the Yav- apai county chamber of commerce appointed Dr. R. J. Roper a special of one to see that a good delegation meets this party of its ar rival at Ash Fork. Chairman Yount of the excursions committee is also working to arrange an excursion of the chamber of commerce to Ash i Fork on the same day.

There he quizzed two cars coming down from Ash Fork. and they were making it fine. No trouble on the road The road from the Junction around to Prescott was in perfect shape except one or two small muddy spots.
 Local cloudburstss must have caus- ed considerable watG to stand in low places in the road, and thus scar ed off the automobile men. There is nothing the matter with the road except few bad places which have been there right along. Those bad spots will either be passed up or be included in the county highway pro gram when the highway building is begun.
