against Maricopa, had contributed to
that majority after half the Maricopa
county delegation had voted with
Pima and Cochfse smaller county
delegations in favor of the two-
thirds rule.
Stanford Out?
Adoption of this rule is understood
to dispose permanently of the aspira-
tons of Judge r. G.. Stanford for the
gubernatorial nomination. Indica-
tions this evening are that the nomi-
nation will go either to Charles B.
Ward or Alfred Franklin. Colonel
Greenway, it is predicted, will lead on
the first ballot.
This decisive action was taken i'm
mediately after submission of the re-
port of the committee on permanent
organization and order OF business.
Maricopa had unanimously declared
in favor of endorsement and also
against the two thirds rule Pima
and Cochise had favored the rule,
for it was believed by them that while
it was possible for Stanford to re-
ceive majorityN he could never re-
ceive two-thirds.
The Gila county delegation had de-
clared against any form of endorse
ment and moreover had threatened
that votes of the opponents of en-
dorsement would fight every candi-
date so endorsed and would contrib
ute TO the defeat Of the Democratic
party in November.
These two things had caused all
OF the milling of the delegates since
they had begun to assemble, and un-
til the final vote was taken on them
at the end of an hour OF debate that
was highly acrimonious, no man could
predict the result.
Resent Hunts Action
A continuity of caucuses of delega-
tions of larger counties from the time
of arrival on Saturday night, and

conference. The only thing that
seemed clear was that the confer
ence would endorse candidate for
governor
The shadow of former Governor
Hunt was lifted from tlfe conference.
Former ardent supporters spoke in
resentment of his recent declaration
against endorsement and said that
while they looked upon him as one of
the advisors Of the party, they were
especially angered at his threat TO go
before the people at the primary in
support Of any other candidate than
the one named by the conference
There seemed no disposition in any
other county than Gila to rest longer
under his dictatorship.
There was added excitement from
the report that William j. Bryan,
enroute to California. would arrive
here today or tomorrow and would
address the conference. Jnwittingly

Foreign Silver
Reaches Record
Price for Year
TRepubIican A. p. Leased Wirel


NEW YORK, May 15-Foreign bar
silver reached a new high record for
the year today. being quoted at ~ | s
cents an ounce. The previous high
mark was 40 1-8 cents last Saturday
Continuation of the increase, ac-
cording to local bullion dealers, un-
doubtedly will result in a resumption
OF silver mining operations in the
United States and Mexico which
have been at low ebb for several
months Low grade copper mines
also will be likely to extend their
operations if the higher bar silver
rate should hold.
Increased prices for foreign bar
silver are accounted for by the heav-
ier demand for the product being
made by the Chinese and Indian mar
kets. India not only has been inn
porting larg, quantities of silver, but
also has resumed inportations Of
gold in order to balance its accounts
in Europe and the United States.

WASHINGTON, May 15-Section
four of the future trading act and
those parts of the act which are
regulations affected by the so-called
tax imposed by that section were to-
day held unenforceable by the SUI
preme court in an opinion delivered
by Chief Justice Taft to which JUS
tice Brandeis dissenJed.
The section was held unenforceable
because it was not a valid exercise
of the taxing power of the federal
government in that 1t attempted TO
regulate transactions over which the
federal government had no constitu-
tional control and was an invasion
of the police power OF the state.
Section four imposed a tax OF 90
cents bushel upon future trades in
grain when not made upon exchanges
not contract market subject TO fed
eral control or when not made by
actual owners of the grain or by the
owners or the renters of land upon
which the grain is TO be grown.
while the decision stated that a
number of sections OF the act were
valid, Senator Capper, Republican
Kansas. one of its authors, declared
the decision knockout" which prac-
tically destroyed the effectiveness of
the act. The purpose of the statute
was primarily to regulate the future
trading in grain so as to compel the
larger exchanges to admit to mem
bership cooperative farmers organi-
cation. This was done by providing
that the heavy tax would be imposed
upon all such exchanges which not
become contract markets requiring
the exchanges to amend their rules
and admit the farmers cooperative
organizations to membership.
Sales for futures delivery in grain
exchanges are not of themselves in
terval commerce, the court declared.
Section IL of the act provided that
should any section be declared in
valid, that should not affect the va
lidity of the remaining sections.
Sections and 9 Valid
The court found, that there were
sections of the act which must be
held valid, such as section 3, author
izing Investigations by the secretary
of agriculture and his publication Of
results
Section also was declared valid.
That section imposed tax of 20
cents bushel on transactions known

Republican A. p. Leased Wire

WASHINGTON, May 15.-The Re-
publican tariff bloc, which succeeded
in having the finance committee ac-
cept most of it's tariff rates on prod
ucts of the farm and ranch, was de-
feated today in the senate in its first
test Of strength against the commit

votes, however, and leaders of the
bloc expressed confidence that they
would be successful in future efforts,
as some of their group were absent
today or paired.
The test came on an amendment by
Senator Johnson, Republican, Cali
fornia, to increase the committee rate
OF s cents pound on citrate of lime
to 8 cents. The vote was 81 to 2S,
II Democrats joining with IA Re-
publicans in opposing the Johnson
amendment. Three Democrats, Ash
urst, Arizona; Broussard, Louisiana,
and Kendrick, Wyoming, voted with
the tariff bloc. as did several nom
member Republicans, including Sen

 Since coming to Prescott year ago from Phoenix, Mir.

His ministry in Arizona has extended over a period of three years In going to California, he will re- sume ministry in that state, for he passed three years there as well as in Arizona.
 Il would like to leave a word oi good cheer for the people of Pres. colt, before leaving" he said yester- day.

I shall leave Prescott regretfully."
 MT. and Mrs. Wall will be guest: of the West Prescott Methodist Women's Missionary society, at 2 farewell reception in the annex ot the church at o'clock this after noon. They will leave for their new home over the Santa Fe railroad to- morrow afternoon.

LOS ANGELES EXCURSION TO
 VISIT NOV. Il

Los Angeles chamber of commerce trade excursionists will make Pres colt one of the most important stops on a trip through Arizona, if the pre- liminary arrangements made public at the chamber of commerce here are made final Leaving Los Angeles on November 7, the excursion will visit Phoenix on the 10th and Prescott the day following.
 Intimating that they would like to see what big government hospital looks like, and wondering If visitors were permitted, Charles P. Bayer, manager of the excursion, wrote to his friend, Major Midgley of the board of supervisors, and asked him to get some information. The major turned the correspondence over to the secretary of the chamber of com merce, whom MT. Bayer had called a live lady, and Miss Sparkes yester- day learned from Major Alice that Fort Whipple would be delighted to have the company of the Los Ange- les excursionists on any day they cared to come.
 Fort Whipple and the Prescott Jerome trip seem to be the major attractions here in the eyes of the excursion manager. So, when the train arrives, preparations will have been completed to receive the Los Angeles visitors at the fort and to carry them to the Verde valley over the finest state highway in Arizona.
 Fred Cruice, formerly of the local Santa Fe offices, and now assistant general freight agent at Los Angeles, is helping arrange the excursion.

 AT THE STATE FAIR

Eight dairies producing and mar. keting milk in and around Prescott are represented in the dairy products department of the Arizona State fair which opened at Phoenix yesterday Samples of milk from these eight dairies were shipped to Phoenix yes terday by Dr. H. T. Southworth, city health officer.
 Representation of Prescott dairies at the fair, however, will be slightly under 50 per cent, due to the failure of about 10 dairymen to collect their mail before Sunday or late Saturday Notices were sent out by Dr. South worth last week to IS dairies in the vicinity of the city, and only eight responded. Information from several of the other ten that they had se- cured their mail too late to arrange to send samples Of milk, cream and butter, indicates the reason for the percentage not being larger.
 Among the dairies represented are the Prescott Milk Depot, West End Milk Depot, Weirs, the Yavapai and Deming's dairies. The names of three others could not be learned last night.

FALLS FROM LADDER, BREAKS HIS ANKLE
Clerk at Sam Dreyer's Store Laid Up as Result of Unfortunate Ac.
 cident Yesterday Morning.

Ben Barceba, who lives at 1l9H North Granite street, is laid up for a few days with a broken ankle, the result of a tumble he took from a ladder while reaching for some goods at the Sam Dreyer store yes terday morning. His ankle was set and placed in a plaster cast by Dr. C. E. Yount, who said last night that his patient is pretty comfort able and that the bones will mend well.
 Barcena is employed as a clerk at Dreyer's, on South Montezuma street. He had climbed up to a height of about ten feet on the lad der. He lost his balance and fell, lighting on his foot in such way as to cause the injury described. His fall was simply one of those un- looked-for accidents which some times occur, and as far as could be learned was due neither to any de- feet in the ladder or any careless ness of his own.
