GALBRAITH KNOCKS OUT "S3" PETITION
Especial to the Journal.N1inerl

PHOENIX, July 2.-The referen- dunn petition filed against house bill .83, known as the irrigation district bill. is ineffective and the measure will be submitted to the people at a special election to be held November IS, 1921. This is the import of an opinion handed down by w. J. Gal braith, attorney general, in response to an inquiry from Secretary of State Ernest R. Hall. He says in part:
 "In my opinion the attempted vot- CTS referendum filed against house bill 83, session laws 1921, is inope- rative, and the election called for in said bill should be called, according thereto.
 "To allow the voters referendum to be operative in this case means that in November, 1922, one year from this fall, voters would vote for or against the question of whether the election should be held this fall. Obviously such all issue would be absurd.
 ITO allow the referendum to be operative in this case means that 5 per cent of the voters could on any occasion delay and deprive the ,legis- lature of its constitutional right to refer matters to voters. In other words should the legislature have re- course to its constitutional right to submit issues to the vote of the people, 5 per cent of the voters could file d voters referendum and thus in effect prevent the matter be- ing submitted to Il vote, and thus 5 per cent of the voters could defeat and delay the whole legislature and

HARDING WILL
 SIGN PEACE IN
 JERSEY STATE
Associated Press Night wire)

WASHINGTON, D. C., July l. Enactment of the promised resolu- ton ending the state of war with Germany and Austria finally was completed today by congress and the measure will be sent tomorrow to President Harding at Raritan, N. J, where he is expected to sign it immediately.
 At the White House, where the resolution was received early tonight, it was said that a messenger would leave here at o'clock tomorrow, ar irving about o'clock at Raritan, where President Harding is the guest of Senator Frelinghuysen over the holidays.
 Senator Brandegee, of Connecticut declared in the debate that there would not be a treaty of peace" but probably one or more treaties of commerce" which he said would deal with questions arising out of the war. Arguing that a peace treaty was not necessary to conclude wars, MT. Lodge said that the United States had negotiated treaties of commerce with Great Britain in 1912 and 1915 and also with Spain after the Spanish war. Senator Lodge said that he knew of no plans by the administration to resubmit the treaty of Versailles to the senate.
 Disclaiming to speak for the presi- dent, Senator Brandegee said he be- lieved the peace resolution would necessitate retirement of American troops from German territory.
 Closing the debate, Senator LaFol- lette of Wisconsin expressed dis sent and denunciation of the provis ions reserving American rights to German property seized by the alien property custodian" Such action, he declared, was in violation of the treaty of 1928 with Prussia and also of international law.

 At little organ was brought out, at which Mrs. Hoover presided, and as the strains of the strains of the we'd ding march from Lohengrin pealed forth, came the flowed girl, Mrs West, who strewed petals in the way. followed by Mrs. Cruickshank, acting as ring bearer. Next came the matron of honor, Mrs. w. w. Mayes, followed by Mrs. Duncan, leaning on the arm of w. w. Mayes. who gave the bride away. They were met at the altar by Mir Duncan and his best man, Mir. ittridge, where the ceremony was performed in a very pleasing and humorous manner by Attorney J. A. West.
 After the ceremony, Mir. and Mrs Duncan were presented with hand some cut glass sugar bowl and creamer, as a tangible evidence of the class regard for their teacher. The guests brought their own re- treatments. which consisted of de 1icious homemade ice cream and cake.

 The following were present; Mrs. Hcover, Mir. and Mrs. West, M-. and Mrs. ittridge, Misses Opal Creemur and Margaret Darrow, MT. and Mrs. Mayes, Mmmcs. Cruickshank, Green. Statler and Newamn.

CITY ENTERS DEFENSE FUR
 PAVING S|UT I
Elimination of Freezing Clause in Contract Resulted in Return of Ten Bonds, Says City At torney Gale in His Reply
(From Fridays Daily)

Three grounds ot defense yeSter- day were set up by the city of Pres colt in its answer to the recent suit of the Southern Sureety company for delivery of 10 Mt Vernon street paving bonds in payment for services alleged to be due on the work the plaintiff did when the Southwestern Contracting company was obliged to drop its contract City Attorney AL fred H. Gale signed the answer, which was filed yesterday, and the firm of which he is a member, An 'derson, Gale & Nilsson, were enter ed as associate counsel.
 According to the answer, $4,700 of the money was never due to the Surety company by reason of the modification of the contract result ing in the elimination of the freez- ing clause.
 The second ground is that the surety company, plaintiffs against the city, the common council and mayor, agreed that ten $500 bonds should be withheld before the work was approved and accepted.
 For a third basis of defense, the city alleges that the company has been fully paid, that all of the Mt. Vernon street paving bonds were delivered to the company and that the company voluntarily returned ten of them to be deposited in the Com mercial Savings bank as trustee for the property owners of Mt. Vernon street.
 The elimination of the freezing clause was made necessary by the fact the proposed paving was de- layed over the winter season, and did not start until summer.

PEACE RE|GNS FOLLOWING THE
 DAY IF BLOOD

Perfect calm marked the opening day of the Frontier week. The com munity, shocked by the two homi- cides of Friday, in one of which the county lost one of its best officials, did not rise to the usual heights of Frontier days gayety.
 But If there was a contemplative silence on the part of the good people, there was a hushed and awed inactivity among the disorder ly. What of this element did not accept the travel-hunch conveyed by the temper of officialdom and indeed of the whole people, remained entire ly out of the way. There was prob- ably less illicit traffic in liquor yes- terday than on any day in years, and as for the crews of petty lawbreak- CTS who usually congregate where there is celebration-they were not in evidence.
 County and city peace officers were increased in number and every man was on his toes. But there was not a peep. Little use was there for the added precautions, but the steps taken by the law will not be retraced, and according to some, there probably never will be a time when the minions of the law will be IS humane and easy on offenders as they have been.
