defendant corporation, testified that before the states injunction had been granted, he and Smith and E. l. Flumerfelt, constituting now the only stockholders of the company had divided the cars among them selves, each being charged with the Supervision" of the equipment allot- ted him. The state sought to bring out that had the cars been placed in storage no personal attention would have been needed, and that the "su- pervision" was probably intended to convey the idea of operation" also. This was denied by Mir. Saavedra, who, was patient witness under cross-examination that was at times
 The witness added that he had made several trips between Prescott and Jerome with company cars but had charged no fares of those who had ridden with him. At one time he had carried six of the members of the Jerome ball team here, he him. self being a player on that team He had charged nothing. Had he any of those players in court as witnesses? None were iii court. The witness knew them; they were his friends? They were.
 Some intricate questions of law were involved in the days hearing if indications of long and strenuous argument by the defense meant any thing. The matter of jurisdiction was frequently referred to by MT. Russell By the time the court was nearing its usual adjournment time, both sides were entrenched behind ramparts of law-books, which were frequently seized and read from.
 Settled Down; Day Left
 The hearing yesterday settled down for what will possibly be its last phase, and today may bring the con- clusion of the trial. But half those originally cited in connection with the contempt action, now remain in volved in the case.
 The court dismissed the action as against some of the defendants, Jack Saavedra, brother of Phil, Stuart Mo Cormick, Alfred Averit,. a relative of Flumerfelt; Ed Cotra, the young Mexican boy, and others. Remaining are Flumerfelt, Smith, Phil Saavedra and Paul Peabody.

STAGE CASE JURIS-
 DCTION ATTACKED
From Saturdays Daily)

! IT IlOiil odlul uoS OhilNJ
 The superior court retained juris- diction in the Jerome Union Stage line contempt case yesterday despite assaults upon it by the defense at the very beginning of it's case. AL fred H. Gale and George w. Nilsson, attorneys for the state in this case, and signers of affidavits upon which the compliments case is based, were placed upon the stand by J. E. Rus sell and C. C. Norton in an effort to show that matters of alleged viola ton of the injunction of June 28 were known to the signers of the af- fidavits only indirectly and not of their own observation.
 Col. Gale, first to be placed on the stand, testified concerning the col lection of data upon which the affi- davits were based. Mr. Nilsson in his testimony, expressed himself ve- hemently concerning the shades and hair-lines dividing positive knowledge and hearsay and at one time, sue ceeded in placing his interrogator in the position of the witness, so that the orderly array of questions and answers were perfectly reversed and MT. Russell was on the "A" end of Miss Marshall's stenographic notes. Nilsson admitted that some of the statements contained in his affidavits were based upon information he had collected from others, but that in general, each alleged violation was partly sworn to on knowledge he had gained at first hand.
 The unusual spectacle of opposing attorneys being witnesses was no more remarkable, however, than the introduction of testimony taken be- fore the state corporation commission last week. when it heard an applca- ton of the Jerome Union for a cer- tlficate to operate a stage line be- tween here and Jerome. LeRoy An derson, chief of counsel for the state, read excerpts from the testimony of Paul Peabody before the commission to Frank w. Smith, president and general manager of the Jerome Union, in an effort to show that an agreement existed between the two concerning the operation of cars for hire.
 Peabody, according to the tram script, had testified he had a com- mission job, paying the Jerome Union official 70 per cent of fares collected and retaining the balance

STAGE DECISION IN
 CONTEMPT CASE WILL
 BE MADE AFTER 14IH

Final decision in the Jerome Union contempt case yesterday was defer
 red until the state and defense can
 interpose briefs and the submission of these arguments will be limited
 The defense will attack the courts jurisdiction all along the line in its argument to be submitted by Wed |nesday, October 12 and the state has one day in which to reply, following which rejoinder may be made by the other side a day later.
 The. morning session finished the taking of testimony and at 1:30 the court announced its willingness to grant further time for the submis- sion of written briefs. Points on which the defense will attack the case were understood from the state ments of J. E. Russell to be as fol- lows: There was no equity set up in the original case, hence the court erred in granting the injunction; the constitution was violated by the law under which the case originated; in- formation and belief are insufficient bases for affidavits and finally, a question of fact that acts complained of do not constitute contempt of the courts decree
 The wind-up of cross examination of Frank w. Smith, president and general manager of the Jerome Union, the examination by both sides of E. J. Flumerfelt, vice-president, and of Calvin Paul Peabody, an all legged driver for the defendants, occu- pied the morning session. Peabody, one of the interesting witnesses on account of his connection with the application of the company before the corporation commission, testified that he had accepted the sum of $7 from Norman Wykoff "as tip" He had pocketed the sum prior to driv- ing MT. and Mrs. Wykoff and two small children to Jerome. Question ed relative to statements he was said to have made before the corporation commission about his commissions on trips he said man might be fluster- ed and make statements he did not mean.
 Trial of the bus case has occupied four days in court, but the prelimi- naries leading up to the hearing have over a period of more than a year. The first injunction was made effective last December 31 and a second injunction, secured by the state of Arizona, became effective June 2S last It was intended to re- strict the company from operating cars for compensation in the absence of the required certificates from the commission. Acts of al legged violation of the injunction since June 2S were recited by witnesses for the state in the contempt hearing after the court had sustained the first demurrers to the affidavits setting up the acts of alleged contempt.
 Anderson, Gale & Nilsson acted as special counsel for the state in the hearing.

ROAD SIGNS IN
 SOUTH, AGREED
Santa Cruz Agrees to Share Ex- pense of Signing Routes With Automobile Club of Arizona {;
 Wide Program Is Mapped Out
(Journal-Mlner Capital Rureaul

PHOENIX, Oct. 7.-The county supervisors of Santa Cruz and Pinal counties have voted to cooperate with the Automobile Club of Arizona in the posting of permanent road signs, according to an announcement today from state headquarters of the club. Agreements have been entered into whereby the counties will con- tribute at the rate of SIPS for each while of road signed, this being equivalent to about 30 or 40 per cent of the entire cost.
 The action by Santa Cruz and Pinal follows similar action on the part of the boards of supervisors of Mari copa and Gila counties, which agreed to do even more. Other counties which have been asked to aid in the road signing movement are Cochise, Pima and Yuma. The question is under consideration by the respective boards of these counties and in view of the public benefits to be derived, favorable action IS anticipated
 It is the policy of the club, it was stated by officials today, to ask all counties to aid in this work just as fast as signs can be supplied to carry the work into all parts of the state. The club does not ask for one cent of contribution to this cause until the signs have actually been placed.
 Club officials express themselves as being well pleased with the splen- did spirit of cooperation which has been evinced thus far," and predict that there will be no obstacles placed in the way of this needed enterprise, now that the non-political character of the club has become thoroughly understood and that its increasing membership assures success of the organization.
 It was also pointed out that while eventually the club could carry out a statewide road signing program without assistance, the cooperation of the counties would make it pos sible to complete this work at just twice the speed, thus bringing bene- fits to the touring public at much earlier date than otherwise would have been possible.

 CAUSE OF TROUBLE
 OF RICHEST PAIR
Convention Plans

CHICAGO, Oct. 7.-America's ex- cessively rich, bored by the ordinary run of causes for separations or di- lvorce actions, are enjoying a real thrill with the report of the first psychological separation" by which two of the most famous fortunes in the country are, at least, temporarily separated because of an psychoanaly- sis complex which required eight years to complete
 Harold F. Mccormick rich society leader and lavish patron of the arts, has formally announced that he and his wife, Mrs. Edith Rockefeller Me Cormick, are living apart"
 The disruption of this alliance, which represents more millions than either probably knows, coming on the heels of the divorce scandal of their close friends, the James A. Stillmans, has caused a sensation on Chicago's fashionable Lake Shore drive
 It is said by friends that no scan dal is back of the breach. It is something new in the domestic af- fairs of the rich.
 The separation, it is reported, has been caused by Mrs. McCormick's devotion to the teachings of her European psychology teachers. For eight years she has been living in Zurich, studying synthetic psychology. Her husband visited her on several occasions during that time, but it is reported the more the daughter of the oil king learned about the super iority of mind over matter the less she deemed fine presence of hus- band necessary.
 Opera Is Husbands Hobby
 On the other hand, her husband, according to friends, has become less and less impressed with his wife's be- liefs, and more and more interested ill his Chicago Opera company and the plans for its future and that of its impresario, Mary Garden. It was

 WORK IF LOCAL
 LEGION CHIEFS
Activities Preparatory to Ma tional Convention Will Be Con- cerned With Bettering the Dis abled, Commander States

Activities looking toward the SC
 curing of benefits for disabled ex- service men during the national con vention at Kansas City October 31 will occupy the attention of the Ernest A. Love post oi the Ameri- can Legion from now until the con- vention, it was made clear yesterday in talk with Webster M. Roberts, commander of the local post, upon his return from a vacation in Cali fornia.
 The ex-service man and his wei fare, Roberts pointed out, is the big item on the Ernest A. Love posts program at present. During the re- cent convention of the Arizona state department of the legion. delegates from the local post were instrumental in securing passage of a number of resolutions aimed at better conditions for the disabled, and the work begun in this way will be carried on into the national convention.
 A meeting of the Ernest A. Love post has been called for Wednesday, October 12, by Vice-Commander B. B. Shimonowsky, who has been act ing as post commander during Rob erts' absence. At this meeting sev- eral items of particular importance will be taken up. The meeting will be held at the chamber of commerce rooms at 7:30 p. m.
 Many interesting experiences were met with by Commander and Mrs. Roberts during their vacation. They motored over practically the whole state of California, visiting various legion posts. At Sacramento, they conferred with the California state de- partment authorities of the legion, and secured copies of the veterans farm and home purchase act recently passed by the legislature of the state. In this act provision is made for the securing of homes and farms by ex-j service men. Of interest to Arizon- ans is the fact that the provisions of the bill do not apply to California men who enlisted ill Arizona, or who, in California, were called from Arizona.

ME XICANS DO
 NUT WANT TO
 LEAVE JEROME
Recruiting for Cotton Picking Season in Salt River Valley Results in Shipment of Only 10 per Cent of Available Men

JEROME, Oct. 7.-Although there are in Jerome between 800 and 400 Mexicans who should be willing to go to the Salt River valley and pick cotton, only 30 left yesterday with the first party. The remainder are not yet convinced that they will not be fed if they stay, or that the mines will not reopen and afford them em- ployment in a short time.
 Thus are the difficulties of the camp, the immigration department and possibly the cotton growers made more acute by the acute love of some folks for the spot near which their hat is hung up.
 Among the 30 were several small children who will not amount to much as cotton pickers. The party left at o'clock last evening, loaded into three Arizona Bus company cars. They were delivered at Pres colt ill time to catch a train that delivered them at Marinette early this morning.
 Transportation Advanced
 Applications from persons willing to go to the valley and pick cotton are still being received and it is hoped that several more shipments can be made. The cotton growers association advances transportation and takes the money out of the first six weeks pay of the pickers. A cent and half a pound is the rate of pay.
 The first of September, Adjutant R. Askin of the Salvation Army, had signed up 400 Mexicans, counting women and children, who said they were willing to become cotton pick CTS to tide themselves over the shut down ill the mines. When the time came to make a shipment, however, many of the 400 had disappeared or f1atly declined to go. Their reasons were various but many declared that the U. V. Extension would soon re- sume and give them work. The ad- jutant estimates that there are still be tween 800 and 400 Mexicans here without means of livelihood. Since relief work has been suspended, number of them will probably come round soon to the cotton picking mood.
