Failure to prove that the Arizona Eastern and the Southern Pacific are one railroad or under one manage ment cost R. c. Larrimore of Nogales half a judgment that had been rem dered against those two roads in the superior court of Santa Cruz county. The Southern Pacific appealed from the judgment against it for $500 on account or damages to a shipment of 69 mules shipped by the appellee from Nogales to Buckeye. similar judg- ment had been rendered against the Arizona Eastern. which took no appeal. It was on the line of the latter that the damage occurred
 Justice Baker, in the majority opin- ion, reversed the Judgment without re- manding the cause. The opinion states: Tt was error to enter judgment against each of the companies, but since the Arizona Eastern does not ap- peal and remains satisfied with the judgment against it, we make no fur ther mention of that error, only to say that certainly the appellee has no cause to complain of the result. He is lucky"
 In the case of the state of Arizona appellant, against Joseph NJ. Craw- ford and Frank Nelson. respondents, the case was reversed and the cause remanded with directions that further proceedings be had not inconsistent with the opinion. The appeal was taken from an order of the superior court of Pinal county sustaining a demurrer to the informa ton in which the respondents were charged with an attempt to manufacture intoxicating liquor.

Nicholson, who states that the receipts at this office show a gain Of fully 25 per cent over last years business. During the present year 10 clerks have been add ed to the working force of the mail ing and distributing rooms and it will be necessary to add six carriers to the force to successfully cope with the large increase in business.
 In late weeks the parcel post has been so heavy that it was found neces- sary to add another automobile to ham dle this branch of the business and the, postmaster has requested that an- other be allotted to this department in order to keep up the standard of work which has been established by efficient and rapid deliveries of parcel post packages The C. O. D. parcel post branch of the business is getting to be a department that has assumed large proportions and is growing in volume daily.
 Rural routes are being extended into tine outlying districts of Phoenix, under the Jurisdiction of this post office, changes in these routes being responsible, in a way for the general increase. The money order depart ment shows a consistent gain over previous years and it is impossible to keep up with the demand for letter boxes. the number of boxes in the post office being far short of the demand.

TELLS ROTARIANS WHY THEY RECOMMEN ENDED
 MORE HIGHWAY BONDS

Because they believed the entire building program should be planned now for the best roads that could be built and that delay would be very ex- pensive and later regretted by the people, Guy P. Nevit;. q member Of the civic affairs committee of the Rotary club. told the RotaTians yesterday why a majority of that committee recon mendcd the voting Of the additional S4.500.000 bonds the calling of an cleo ton for which has been asked of the board of supervisors in a resolution by the highway commission.
 If We desire 16-fOot roads with six inch base we must have more money; they cannot be built with the $4.000,O0O already voted" said MT. NeVitt. If we build narrow roads now we will see the time of regret and will have to widen them and otherwise improve them later. The question is, are we in favor of the best roads now? One ar gument against the voting of more bonds is that we build some roads now and if they are satisfactory to vote more money. I do not believe it is advisable to do that. The highway commission desires to plan for the en- tire road program now, and for that purpose the voting of more bonds is necessary. If some roads are built first, with the money already voted those who live on those roads will lose interest in voting money for roads re mote from them. It is human nature They will have their roads and will lei the other fellow wait. Then the peo- pie who get the poorer roads will De dissa tisfied.
 Let's start right. I have seen cor respondence from California to the highway commission asking us how we managed to get the low bid we did from Twohy Brothers. The cost oi $S, 900, 900 worth of roads will amount to 4 cents for every S100 assessed valuation. For actual valuation it vii We have many things to be done ir Phoenix for the betterment of the city and county, but I can't think of any thing so important as good roads. Sc why wait a year or two. Let's do il now"
 George w. Barrows. Warren Me Arthur, Wallace Button and others spoke in favor of the voting of the bonds.
 F. w. Litchfield, vice president soi the Goodyear Tire and Rubber com pany of. Akron. Ohio, who was a guest of the club. spoke of the relation ol good roads with the wonderful increas, in the motor car industry, the need fol many tires and the cotton of which they are made. This, he said, wa: greatly instrumental in bringing tho Goodyear company into the Salt River valley. T was pleased last year wher you voted $4O0O.000 for good roads, he said and I hope you will not stoI now, but will go ahead and complete the program"

Ross Takes His Name
 From Letter Asking w. A. Mouer to Resign

Requesting that his name be with drawn from the letter asking his resig- uation as state land commissioner. Harry $. Ross, state treasurer, has written w A. Moeur assuring him of his cooperation.
 T want to extend to you my vote of confidence" the treasurer stated in the note which was received by Mir. Moeur yesterday.
 Mir. Ross was one of the three mem bers of the land board who started the trouble" early in May when they wrote a letter to Mir. Moeur demand ing his resignation because of the con- dition of his health. There were three copies of the letter sent Moeur, one be- ing retained by each of the signers, State Treasurer Ross, Attorney Gen eral Jones, and State Auditor Jesse Boyce.
 Later Mir. Ross changed his views, having been convinced by Secretary of State Simms that the right and just thing was to investigate before oust- ing q man from office. The Barrow letter furnished the basis for the open hearing, and when it was declared a forgery the meetings terminated be- the remaining member of the board. The only echo of the matter heard yesterday was the Ross letter, which follows:
 w. A. Moeur, State Land Commis- sioner.
 Dear Mir. Moeur: The investiga- ton of the land department failing to reveal any cause why you should resign and as the Carlson report on the Barrow letter shows con ciusively same to be forgery, would respectfully request that my name be withdrawn from the let ter asking your resignation. Further, l want to extend to you

MAY ESTABLISH
 WAREHOUSES IN
 THIS DISTRICT
Meeting Paves the Way For Bonded Warehouses Here To Store Cotton and Grain Government Man Explains Plan.

Bonded warehouses in Phoenix for the storing of cotton, grain and wool may be established as the result of conferences held in this city yestcr- day which were attended by men in- tereSted in those industries, by bank CTS and by H. K. Holman. Jr of the United States department of agricul- ture who is in this part of the coun- try Investigating the establishment of such warehouses.
 The meetings, which were held at the Water Users building, were more or less preliminary in scope, serving chiefly to pave the way for such ware houses, Investigating their need and securing a thorough explanation by the governments representative of the manner of their establishment.
 The meeting of cotton warehouse men and bankers was held at o'clock and was attended by 90 local men, in cluding representative of the Arizona American Egyptian Cotton company. The chief question which came up at this meeting twas whether it would be possible to open a yard enclosed by a strong barbed wire fence and kept un- der tho constant surveillance of a watch man as a substitute for the regular warehouses prescribed under the bonded warehouse act.
 Explains Warehouse Act
 Realizing that the refusal of this re- quest would curtail the financial aid badly needed by local cotton men, and that the granting of it would discour- age the building of more substantial warehouses, MT. Holman will give a great deal of thought to the problem before giving q definite reply He stat ed, however. that he would settle the question definitely before returning to Washington. Meanwhile he will attend to the applications of any warehouse men who are able to meet the govern ment requirements for having their houses bonded.
 The grain men conferred with Mir. Holman at o'clock, and were in turn told of the purposes of the act. which has been deemed one of the greates t pieces of constructive legislation ever passed by congress, and which has been given the stamp of approval by the American Warehouse association the American Bar and the American Bankers associations.
 Those who are eligible to obtain bonded warehouses must be of good reputation. solvent and have a suit able house. after which bond money must be filed with the United States government. Government inspectors which will be organized in districts to correspond with the government force of bank examiners. will see that the houses are conducted according to the regulations of the government by ex- amining them at frequent intervals A receipt from such a warehouse would serve as negotiable paper in securing loans from banks. and would be of in- valuable help to the local cotton growers
 Mir Holman will remain in Phoenix for several days in order to clear up all business connected with the matter and to get acquainted with the local cotton men and grain dealers here.

CITY ITSELF ID DO B UNCOVTRACTED WORK
 ON VERDE SYSTEM

The city itself will do all the work now uncontracted for on the new Verde gravity water system for Phoenix. This was determined at special meeting of the city commission yes terday afternoon, the commission de- ciding that, since no bids had been re- ccived on the uncontracted part of the work, though advertised for twice. tbe city should go ahead with the work itself.
 In the construction of the new Verde waterworks system for Phoenix. the only part of the work contracted for has been the installation of the pipe line. This leaves the installation of the intake galleries on the Verde. the excavating for the pipe line and the hauling of materials and the like to be done by the city, under the decision reached yesterday The work which the city will do on the system will amount to about $400, 900.
 The city will lose no time in going ahead with the work as rapidly as possible, City Manager V. A. Thompson said last night. There will be no de- lay, he added, in the hope that the price of materials will come down. or fer other reasons, as the value of the new water system to Phoenix will be so great that a delay in building it in the hope of obtaining better prices by de- laying, would not be justified.

AWARD MRS. LEBARON THREE CHILDREN AND SHARE IN PROPERTY

In the case of Edith LeBaron against Edwin M. LeBaron, which has been on Trial before Judge Ingram of Yuma in Judge Stanfords division of the supe- -ior court of this county for nearly three weeks, the jury yesterday by its answers to some 50 interrogatories, in which every issue raised in the case ulgas presented. practically gave yer Nict to the plaintiff, awarding her GUS Lody of the three children of the par lleS, awarding her q share of the com munity property and ordering the pay ment by the defendant of $100 a month Tor the support of the children. This finding was reached after the jury had had the case under consideration for four hours. Judge Ingram announced that his judgment on these findings would be entered on July 3.
 The defendant had been granted divorce from the plaintiff and the cus- tody of the children in a proceeding two years ago. The divorce was grant ed by default, it being claimed that there was held over Mrs. LeBaron the threat of the publication of an act of moral delinquency which resulted in her arrest at Los Angeles, this act, it being further alleged, having been in- duced by the agents of the husband. The jury in it's answers to the inter rogatorieS on these points found this to have been the case, and that find ing no doubt influenced the jury in making answers to all the interrogato- ricS in the list
 IL found, among other things. that the mother was a fit person to have the custody of the children; that the father was not a fit person, though it also found that in the two years they had been under his control he had cared for them properly and had seen to their proper education.
 The jury also found that the Me I.eods had been employed by Attorney ~. J. Cox of Phoenix to go to Los An gclcs to secure informa ton to be used by 1eBaron in securing aS divorce and the custody of the children, and that the McLeods did secure this informa- tion. They also suggested to Mrs. Le Baron that she get a male friend, the jury found and at the suggestion of the McLeods she invited Boucek to visit Los Angeles, the McLeods fur nishing the money. The jury also found that the McLeods left Mrs. Le- Baron alone in the apartment with Boucek in order that she might be ar rested for the purpose of securing evidence of moral deficiency on her part. LeBaron and Cox both knew of the arrest. the jury found, before the divorce suit was filed
 It is understood from conversation had by representative of The Repub- !ican with the foreman of the jury that two errors were made in answer ing the questions by the jury. One of these errors was an answer of Yes co a question which in substance asked if Mrs. LeBaron did register at the Lansing apartments as the wife of Boucek. The answer to this question the juror said, should have been No
 In the course of the trial acts of i'm morality had been testified to against both parties. The jury found that these charges were untrue and exon crated both parties of such acts. It also found that no such acts were committed by Mrs. LeBaron in Mesa before going to Los Angeles.
