 EACH slOOO ID INSTANT DEATH

PHOENLX-A vigil of death ended for J. L. Watson, retired Montana rancher, with the fading twilight Sunday night. When the mantle of darkness had settled upon the earth he ended his watch by slowly pulling his body through a third story win dow of the Hotel Adams.
 A moment later, his naked form lay a mass of crushed bones on the pavement in the alley below Head first, he had plunged from the win dow of his room. In mid-air the body had turned striking the pave ment almost flat on the back. The skull was crushed.
 The man was breathing his last when two eye witnesses to the tra. gedy reached his side. Five minutes later he was pronounced. dead by q physician hurriedly summoned by telephone.
 Since early afternoon Watson who was about 60 years old, apparently had been awaiting the coming of darkness to end his life. What was behind his action. the motives that led to his suicidal dive, probably al ways will remain a mystery. for no ncte was found.
 It was about o'clock when he entered the Hotel Adams and retain ed a room. He was without bag gage
 He was first assigned to room No. 407, on the fourth floor of the struc. ture but opening onto the space be- tween the two wings of the building.

 This is an outside room with north exposure" Broskey replied.
 But I want a room on the alley Watson protested.
 Later he was changed to room No. PAT on the third floor of the building, facing north on the alley.

WARD .SHUNS ABUSE IN HIS CAMPAIGN
 FOR GOVERNOR

JEROME, Ariz., July 31-A large crowd heard Charles B. Ward, can didate for the Democratic nomina- tion for governor, here last Saturday night and his speech frequently was applauded. He told his hearers how though systematic a0use of Wood. row Wilson, beginning with the cam paign of 1918, the Republicans had gained control of congress and how that abuse had been kept up until the 1920 campaign, and had been made an agency for capturing the presidency.
 With all the machinery of govern ment in their hands, Nr. Ward said. the Republicans had been unable to enact single one of the reforms they had promised, a failure which has caused widespread unrest throughout the country, and which is likely to result in political upheaval this year that will place a Democrat in the White House in 1924.
 MT. Ward was very emphatic in counseling Democratic unity after the primary election. He said that in the event of his defeat for the Demo cratic nomination he would be among the first to take off his coat and work for the election of former Gov ernor Hunt, just as he had in the campaign for 1911, when MT. Hunt was the nominee, and as he had done in all the campaigns in this state since that time. He urged candidates for county offices to make similar resolution, and to keep it.
 T will not abuse my opponent in the primary election he said, "and if nominated I shall not abuse my Republican opponent It is not my way. There is enough truth, enough of clean methods for one to use without slingng mud I never have done that. I never will He said it was not proper at this time to dwell upon the shortcomings of the Repub- lican administration in the state, al- though there was plenty of fault to find with it. We will take that up in the general election campaign 2 he said.

WESTERN STATES IN AGREEMENT 0N INTERSTATE ROADS

Reconciliation of the II western states to interstate lines of com munication under the per cent fed eral aid system was the main topic of discussion at the conference held last week in San Francisco between the officials of the United States bureau of public roads and the high way engineers and commissioners of these states, Thomas Maddoc1- state engineer. said yesterday upon his return from the conference. The conference was called by Thomas H. Mcdonald, director of the bureau of public roads and in addition to the various officials of the states, all of the district engineers of the bureau were also present.
 At the conference MT Maddock said the Arizona highway department agreed to include in it's per cent system, about 19 miles of road on the Arrow Head trail which runs across the northwest corner of the state and which already has been improved by Mohave county. Al though the road is of little value at the present time to the majority of he people of the state, it will make an important connection eventually between Arizona and Utah, Montana and Iadaho and will connect with the road to be built from the funds ap- propriated by the last legislature to construct road to the Boulder Can yon damsite.
 The California per cent system as agreed at the conference, MT. Mad dock stated, meets the Arizona ' per cent system at Topoc near Needless and at Yuma. There were no con fiicting opinons in regard to this The connections with New Mexico have not been arranged as there are several adjustments to be agreed upon between the two states and the fed eral bureau

MINE MANAGER WILL ASK REDUCTION IN
 1922 VALUATION

Capt. Jos. P. Hodgson, manager of the Phelps Dodge Corporation, Morenci Branch, accompanied by Chief Clerk, Harry Hill, and H. A. Elliott, attorney for the company left on Monday afternoon for Phoa- nix. where representations will i,e made to the State Tax Commission, looking toward a reduction in valua- tions on the property of Phelps Dodge Corporation in this county, for the year 1922.
 With the tenth annual tax confer ence a matter of history, the state tax commission is now making plans to sit during the first week in Au- gust as the state board of equaliza- tion. The sessions will begin at 9:30 o'clock on Monday morning Aug. |, and will continue each day thereaft- CT for a week. During this week the tax commission will fix the state tax rate. to be levied by each county for state purposes.
 The tax commission, sitting as the state board of equalization, will go ever the valuations of the different caasses of property in each county as assessed by the county assessors and will endeavor to equalize these val nations as to the various classes of property in order that each class may be assessed. as nearly uniform in each county as is possible. In doing this. it may be necessary for the com mission to raise or lower some of the valuations made by the assessors on the various classes of property.
 The commission as a board of equalization also will pass on the eQualizations made by the board of county supervisors when those bod ies sat as county board of equal 1zation. Any reductions or raises the county boards of equalization have made in the valuations will be scrIr tinized by the tax commission as the state board of equalization and will be either allowed or changed
 In speaking of the numerous sto- ries printed in the papers over the state in which it was stated that the tax rate would be approximately 29 cents lower than it was last year Charles H. Howe, chairman of the commission, declared that such sto rIest were mere rumors. The com. mission, he said, at this time is un able to give an exact estimate be cause the final valuations have not been definitely fixed. He said, how ever, that ne was or the opinion the rate would be lower than last year because the appropriations passed by the legislature this year were not as large as last year E
 The tax rate, MT. Howe said, is z derived by. the commission in ac cordance with the amount of money levied by the legislature to run the state and is such a rate as will pro duce this amount of money from tht assessed valuations of the state. The commission, he said. had no contro over Wfaat the rate would be, al though according to stories printer in the various papers of the state they had been accredited with tht power of raising or lowering the ratt as they pleased This can only b' done, he asserted. by the legislatur' enlarging the appropriations or re ducing them.

YUMA POSSES ARE SEARCH|NGOEsERT
 FOR PROSPfCTOR


 YUMA July 3O-Fred Rechtel, ! veteran prospector of the county, is lost in the desert country about Fortuna Camp, and searching parties, hurriedly organized. expressed little hope of finding him alive as they entered the third day of their search today
 Fifty men from Yuma today joined the parties from Wellton and Dome which have been searching for the missing man since Friday. Win Proebstel veteran guide of Welltou. who has led a score of parties in search of lost men and who won fame five years ago by his thrilling rescue of two army aviators from San Diego whose plane had fallen on the Sonora shore of the Gulf of Cal ffronia, is at the head of little band of "desert rats, who are visiting all known water holes and natural tanks in the Fortuna Range Sheriff Jim Polfhamus with a number of his de puties joined in the hunt Saturday. afternoon and when advices were re- ceived from him at Wellton today that so far the search had proven fruitless, several automobiles loaded with men left for that region.
 In one of the machines was Elmer Marable, RechtePs companion on the ill-fated prospecting trip and who was picked up by a stage driver on the highway near Lagurta Saturday morning after he had spent a day and night wandering in the hills It is hoped that he will be able to lead searchers to the spot where Rechtel was last seen.
 Marabel and Rechtel left Fortuna Camp Friday morning, intending to go to a prospect claim on the oppo- site side of the range. When they had not returned to Fortuna Friday night, searching party was organ ized. Marable declares that he and Rechtel lost their way in a canyon and soon exhausted their water sup ply. Some time during Friday night they emerged from the canyon and made out the lights of Wellton in the valley about 15 miles away Marable was becoming weak and frequently had to rest. After he had fallen a number of times, Rachtel left him saying that he would try to reach Wellton and send aid. MaraDle con tinued to wander in the hills, he de- clares, until eventually he heard the sound of a locomotive whistle and saw the lights of a Southern Pacific train. He rested the remainder oi the night and at dawn Saturday struggled down-the mountain to the 1 tracks.

 OUT ID SEEK OFFICE HESITATE TREASURER

Jane Gregg, president of the Gregg Olive company, of Phoenix. will be candidate for the Republican nomi- nation for state treasurer Her spon- sors say she has business brains and is well qualified.
 Ever since it became known that women leaders were preparing to de- mand representation of Arizona wt,- manhood on the board of directors of state institutions, it has been re- alized that such representation would come through the election of wo- man as state treasurer and there has been speculation whether or not a woman would be found who felt her training warranted her in accepting the office
 The board is made up of the gov ernor, the state treasurer and one citizen member who acts as secre- tary, and in ordev to capture chair on the board it was thought best to make the attack through the state treasurership.
 Now Miss Gregg, a woman of busi- ness trainng has been found to run for the office, subject to the Repub- ilcan primary.
 For the past six years Miss Gresg has devoted almost her whole time and attention to the building up of the olive industry in Arizona, an in- dustry which gives promise of being one of the most important in the state i'll coming years. She is the founder of an olive packing plant which has resulted in placing Arizo- na grown olives on the market of the world

Unless the state tax commission sitting as board of equalization during the week beginning August ' makes very decided reduction in the present total assessed Valu- ation of property! in the state as announced by the commission re- gently, the state tax for this year will be approximately 50 cents on each $100 of assessed valuation, ac- cording to figures compiled by Charles w. Fairfield, state auditor. This estimated rate is reduction of g cents over the rate of last year which was 73 cents
 MT. Fairfield said that an accu- rate estimate of the rate could not be made on account of the fact that the schools of the state will receive S1a cents and the state roads cents of each s100 of assessed valuation in the state, and the amounts thsee two institutions will receive cannot be definitely determined until the final total assessed valuation is annuonce,l by the tax. commission after it. as a state board of equalization, has fixed the final valuations in the state.
 In compilng his estimated tax rate. MT. Fairfield said, he took the amount needed to run the state for the year and subtracted from this sum, the amount of moneys in the state which will be derived from the various revenues other than taxes. This net amount, he added, is the amount which VII be needed to run June 30, 1923. The rate necessary to raise this amount of money, he declared, based on the total valuation of $748,SS3,5 ,512.29 as announced by the tax commission from abstracts received by them from the county assessorS. is 50 cents.
 In arriving at his figures, MT Fair filed said, he based the amounts to be received by the schools and the roads the levy of S1s cents and ! cents on the total valuation of SPAS. S33, 3,51229, but these amounts can not be determined as certainty un til the final total valuation is made by the tax commission
