REESE VERDICT
 FUR ONE DOLLAR
Jury Finds That Amount of Damages for Jerome Chemist as Result of Collision With Jacob Greens Mail Truck.

A verdict for one dollar was awarded by a jury yesterday in the case of Al Reese, head chemist of the United Verde, against Jacob Green, holder of the mail contract between Prescott and Jerome. The case arose out of collision between Greens mail truck and a touring car driven by Reese, and the plaintiff sued for $1,200 damages and $500 for the loss of use of his car.
 Trial of the case before Judge Lamson was a matching of wits be- tween LeRoy Anderson, counsel for the plaintiff, and R. A, McMurchie, representing Green. The evidence was not without its flashes of humor. Another remarkable thing about the trial was that it was held before a picked-up jury, drawn at random from local businessmen by stipula- ton Of counsel.
 According to the plaintiffs story, he was driving from Jerome and Greens truck was entering the town on the Prescott road. At the turn near the city limits the two cars came together. Greens defense was that he drove into the touring car to avoid a collision with another truck, that his car could not be stopped short of 15O feet and that he was only proceeding about Is miles an hour
 The plaintiff sought to prove that the point where the collision occur red was a well settled section of the town. Mir. Anderson intcrrogating Mir. Miller asked a number Of ques- tions to show that the place. was thickly settled, but MT. McMurchie was ill an objecting mood-or as the opposition side would put it, in ar objectionable" mood. Finally, wear fly, MT. Anderson asked:
 Well, what sort of neighborhooc is that?"
 "Oh, all right, 1 guess" solemnly responded Mir. Miller.
 "We will concede," drily said Mir McMurchie, that it is a respectable neighborhood-for Jerome"
 When will NIT. McMurchie ceast to object?" demanded NIT. Anderson
 When Mir Anderson ceases tc testify" replied MT. McMurchie.
 And that will be the end of tho world, won't it Mack?" said counse for the plaintiff

CITY ACQUIRES
 BANNING TITLE
Thorbeck Ranch, Water Rights
 and Piping Revert to City Un- der Nine-Year-Old Contract
 With Yavapai Water Co.
tFrom Wednesdays paIly)


 The city of Prescott now is full legal owner of the Banning Creek water supply at the Thorbeck ranch. Filing of a deed to the property, water rights thereon and piping therefrom to the city, was made yes terday following payment by the city council Monday night to the Yava- pai Water company of $709l6, final payment on the $27,500 price of the system.
 Acquisition of the Yavapai water rights will be followed by construc- ton of the Banning Creek dam which will give the city pure water supply adequate for years to come. A call for bids on the Banning Creek dam will be issued between the 21st and the 26th of this month and contract let month later.
 The Yavapai water system is ac- quired by the city under a contract entered into between the council and that company November 3, 1913, by which title to the property was to fall to the city when it had paid in water rentals the sum of $27, 800, paying for the water at the rate of IS cents per thousand gallons.
 Plans for the Banning dam will be speeded up by City Engineer Kline, who will also immediately draw up specifications for additional street paving.
 Considerable argument as to who is the lawful possessor of the old street car rails being unearthed on North Cortez street occupied part of the council meeting. Three lusty claimants appeared to assert their rights: the city, the owners of the former car-line, and the paving con- tractor.
 The sum of $500 was voted to the Prescott Frontier days committee, to help carry on the work of the famed Prescott rodeo celebration. Action on accepting plats of the Miller valley Chinese gardens as an addi- ton to the city, was postponed. Regulations governing plating and submission of further tracts will be drawn up by the city attorney, AL fred H. Gale.

1t was reported last night that sew
eral members of the Army and Navy
Club in Fifty-ninth street will go be-
fore District Attorney Joab II. Ban
ton to-day and ask him for Grand
Jury inquiry into certain charges un-
der investigation by a grievance COM
mittee of the club headed by Martin
Vogel. These charges involve forgery.
misappropriation of funds, illegal sale
of furnishings and property, and par
ticularly an improper accounting Of
the money raised by the club in 1920.
when drive for $4,000, 900 was held
for a memorial to officers who died in
the war.
At the club last night it was admitted
that certain charges had been preferred
and that the matter had been under
investigation by the committee, but it
was said also that so far as attaches
of the club knew this committee had not
yet made a report There was no one
at the club who professed to have any
knowledge of the Grand Jury proceed
ings. and those who were questioned
were inclined to think that the serious
ness OF the situation had been exag-
gerated. Many of the compliments.
however, declare that the investigation
of the grievance committee has been
blocked by certain strong influences.
and that the situation Is serious enough
to justify Grand Jury investigation.
IL Is understood that the principal
basis of the charges Is the allegation
that there has been no proper account
ing of the moneys secured from the
tat thn 1rt. ant
Quoted in a proper manner. Contribu-
tions were solicited from the public.
especially from the families of men
killed In action. These families were
also requested to send letters, photo
graphs and other records so that they
could be placed i'm the record room that
was to be a part of the memorial. II
Is charged that these things were not
properly cared for. that many were al
lowed to become water soaked. and that
others were destroyed.
The other charges are said to include
forgery. misappropriation OF funds, the
illegal sale of $500 piano and the
sale of an $500 set OF chandeliers and
other furnishings. The responsibility
for these offenses is said to rest with
a former governor OF the club who was
brought up on charges but was allowed
to resign 1t is charged that this Of
ficer was protected by certain influ-
ences. presumably the same which are
said to be blocking the present investi-
cation.
Before the grievance committee also Is
a charge that in drive for members
last year $4,000 was spent TO obtain
entrance and initiation fees OF $24,oOD.
Much of this money was spent In payinS
large salaries, il is-said, and in commits
sions to club members for getting new
members. The club Is now housed in
the building that used to be the German
Club. and it Is charged that Br.gadier-
General and club member accepted q

Would Attend Conference
Dealing Only With Russia's
Economic Situation.
MAKES TWO CONDITIONS
No Recognition Of Soviet and
Withdrawal of Russian
Memorandum.

Special Dispatch to THE New YoRK HERALD.
New York Herald Bureau,
Washington. ID. c., May IS.
Secretary of State Hughes has ad-
dressed a note to Richard Washburn
Child, Ambassador to Italy, and OBJ
planning the position of the United
States relative to the proposed con-
tinuation of the conference at The
Hague. 1t is an amplification of TIE
States expressed its inability to ac-
cept the invitation to participate, and
asserts. that the United States regards
a decision on economic matters in re-
lation to Russia as necessary pre-
liminary to any discussion of political
affairs
The text of the note was not made
public, but it's purport was explained
by Ligh official Of the Government
to-day who dwelt on the importance
of getting down to hard practical
facts in dealing with the Russian
situation and of recognizing the OBJ
stacles that are in the way OF prac-
teal settlement.
According to the resume OF the men,
orandum sent to Ambassador Child the
United States is willing to participate in
a conference to discuss the economic
situation as 1t affects Russia, but on
two conditions. These are:
First-That political questions be
eliminated entirely and that no question
of the recognition of the Soviet Gov
ernment be raised.
Second-That If the Russians are to
be represented it shall be done only
after they have withdrawn their
memorandum of May II, which this
Government believes precludes the pos
sibility of dealing with the Soviet Gov
ernment in any way.
1.-THE Russian memorandum OF May l.
was a refusal to restore nationalized
property to its former owners. claiming
that the question was a political one
and as such. barred by the Cannes
agreement. II denied The Soviet could
prevent Bolshevist propaganda in other
States and adhered to population of the
Czarist debts. 1t suggested mutual can
collation. of claims while expatiating on
Russia's need of foreign loan.1
The note of explanation. which dwells
on the American friendship for the Rus
sian people. expresses the belief that
the proceedings at Genoa, which have
permitted the Soviet leaders to exploit
their propaganda and to make absurd
claims and demands. leads nowhere.
The advantages to be gained by an
economic conference. the Government of
the United States believes. are involved
in a common acceptance of facts which
will enable all of the Powers represented
to start from given point with
acknowledged premises. 1t is con-
sidered doubtful II such an inquiry will
develop any facts not already known,
but II will bring about common under
standing concerning them.
While expressing the keenest desire
for cooperation with world Powers in
dealing with the Russian problem. the
note Is frank and is notable for its
plain speaking. The inescapabe facts
which the Administration processes to
see in the situation and which IL be-
lieves appear to have been overlooked
Gapna are dpecrihed
