TELL WHAT |. IF |. HAS. DONE FUR PHOENIX,
 THE VALLEY AND STATE

What the chamber of commerce has done for Phoenix and the valley and state and some of the principal things now ahead of that organization was the main subject of discussion at the Rotary club luncheon yesterday at the
 Harry Welch, Secretary of the chamber of commerce, to whom Dr. John Dennett, Jr., chairman of the meeting. paid high tribute for his work with that organization, described some of the functions of the chamb Der of commerce and told how it's efficien- cy could be increased. After 20 years of work with chambers of commerce, said MT. Welch, he declared that no Organiza tiOn had more to do with the advancement of a city. The local body, he assured the Rotarians, was active ait all times in furthering all that is best for Phoenix Not alone is the Phoenix Chamber of Commerce work ing for Phoenix, but for the valley and state, he said. AIr. Welch voiced a hope | that the local organization would soon be housed in a building adequate to it's needs. He outlined many of the main things for which the chamber is work ing at present.
 Concerning city planning. said Mir. ' N'elch, the chamber of commerce had been outlining that for several years, but only two weeks ago d resolution to that effect had been presented to the city commission.

SHERIFF Is SOOV FREED AFTER
 ARREST IN MEXICO

International complications have been avoided by the release in Naco Of Deputy Sheriff Midkiff of Cochise county after few hours detention by Mexican authorities.
 Meager reports of Midkiffs arrest reached the state house yesterday and the stories were of such a character that Acting Gov Nit Simms deemed it advisable to learn the full particu- lars at once. Late in the afternoon ne received word from J. F. Mcdonald, sheriff of Cochise county of Midkiff's release. although the particulars of the arrest were not contained in the brief wire from the officer at Bisbee. According to the story, two army officers asked Sheriff Mcdonald to send a deputy with them while they held a conference across the border with the chief of police of Naco. Mid kiff was detailed on the mission and while returning to this side is alleged | to have made the arrest of a Bisbee l police officer on the charge of trans i porting liquor into the state. Two i other members of the police depart ment are alleged to have demanded the | release of their brother officer and i'll 1 turn were placed under arrest for in 1 terfering with an officer in the per i formance of his duty. In the scuftle 1 that followed it is understood that i Midkiff backed across the line and was taken into custody by the Mexican i officials. As Midkiff crossed into l Mexico it is said shots were fired 1 Biddy Doyle, policeman, being shot in the arm.
 1 With this story, which was given out by the attorney generals office | and no knowledge of the treatment be ] ing accorded the deputy sheriff, the 1 acting governor wired for particulars, l addressing the sheriff and mayor as 1 follows:
 June 4, 1920. Hon. j. F. Mcdonald,
 Sheriff of Coehse County,
 Tombstone, Arizona.
 Please wire full particulars in connection the arrest and deten- ton Deputy Sheriff Metcaif by l Mexican authorities of Naco, So- nora, Mexico. This information IS desired in order that this depart ment mayB take such steps as the circumstances demand.

 Hon. Jacob H.. Erickson,

 Bisbee, Arizona.
 In order that appropriate action
 may be taken by this office please advise by wire full particulars re- lating to arrest and detention of Deputy Sheriff MetcaIf by the au- thorities of Naco, Sonora, Mexico.

RESIDENCE DISTRICTS
 NOW BEING CAVVASSED ID REGISTER VOTERS

The canvas of the business district to register all voters has been com pleted and the registration officers are now making a canvass of the residen- tial sections of the city, Miss Edith Jacobs, county recorder, said yester day. The registration work began on May l, and is being conducted this year by eight officers who are making a house to house canvass of the city.
 After one woman had phoned Miss Jacobs and asked where she might register, stating that her neighbors had registered, but that she had been away from home when the officer called, Miss Jacobs decided to place a table in front of the court house where those who had been missed by the of ficer might call and register. Lester Reid has been given charge of this work and began his duties Thursday morning. Voters may register with Mir. Reid from 9 o'clock to F o'clock in the mornings and from l o'clock to 5 o'clock in the afternoons. Miss Jacobs requests all those who have been missed by the registration of ficers to call at the court house and register.
 Speaking of the new method of registering the voters in the city by a house to house canvass, Miss Jacobs said that never before in the history of he office has the work been conducted as smoothly and with as little con fusion as this year. The canvass sys- tenn, she said, was proving a decided success and relieves the congestion which formerly occurred at the court house during the registration of voters

very large number of these contests So many oil them
