AROUND THE CITY
REVISITS YAVAPAI

P. A. Oliver of San Mateo, Calif., who has been staying at the tent city at Pine Dells recently, is an enthusi- ast about Yavapai county. Former ly resident of Fort Apache in the old days of the Indian wars, Mir. Oliver had long wanted to renew his acquaintance with Arizona, so he set out to travel overland to re- visit the scenes of his earlier life. During his stay here he has visited practically every spot of interest in Yavapai county, and yesterday told the secretary of the chamber of com merce that the scenery here, in his opinion, beats anything in California and the rest of Arizona. He IS of the opinion that in the Cherry Greek road Yavapai has one of its greatest scenic assets, which has been allowed to be overshadowed by the newer Prescott Jerome highway. Mir. Oliver plans to leave for the canyon rim today. Taking about a month to make the trip, he will visit Bryce canyon and go over to the Utah side.

AUTOMOT|VE POWER
 OF CHICAGO DRAWN
 IN TRACTION STRIKE
Associated Press Night Wire)

CHICAGO, July 31.-A complete itie-up of the street car and elevated
 traffic began to make itself felt shortly before midnight tonight after
 the surface lines employees at mass
 meeting had voted for walkout, eff fective at 4 a. m. tomorrow and ele- vated road men had joined them in a runaway strike, anticipating a form
 al strike order b.; "A hours.
 Facing a complete tie-up wide
 spread preparations were under way
 by suburban railways, motor boat
 companies and automobile owners to meet tue strike.
 All efforts of businessmen, city of ficials, union leaders and carline chiefs tonight apparently had failed to avert a wa,kout precipitated by the demand that the men accept a wage reducGS2 of about r per cent.
 A compromise offer by the men expressing willingness to take flat 10 per cent reduction was rejected by the surface lines following an order reducing fares from to 7 cents with three tickets for 20 cents. The present wage is at rate Of so cents an hour. With both surface and elevated employees out the strike would affect about 10000 men.
 To meet the threatened tie-up auto mobile owners were R ,paring some 25O,OOO automobiles tonight and many expressed the conviction that the automotive power of the city alone would be able to take care of the situation. Many of the street car who own automobiles were to operate them as jitney i busses, wearing their uniforms to ob- | tain public sympathy and attract pat It also was predicted that the unions would put big trucks on the streets. To handle the situation successfully the automobile fleet, l probably the largest ever called upon in such an emergency, would have to handle more than 3,0O0,OOO pas sengers daily. i

WILD MINT SAVED
 LIFE OF TRAPPER
 MAROONED ON ISLE
Associated Press Night wire)

THE PAS, Manitoba, July 31.- After being fnarooned on an island without food or shelter for 2 days, Frank Reynard, 2, has been rescued, according to word received here to- day.
 Reynard, who is a trapper and has a shack on Cormorant lake, went out some three weeks ago in his canoe searching for duck eggs. He landed on a small rocky island and during his search a storm blew up and his canoe was carried away. The trap per was isolated on a spot seldom visited by travellers. There was no fuel and no protection from the ele- ments. The only means of susten- ance was some half dozen duck eggs, water snarls, small crawfish, wild mint and roots of reeds.
 He was conscious when found by a local trapper but very weak. He is recovering rapidly and stated it was the heating and strengthening proper ties of wild mint that kept him alive.

 The jury, which had been divided 6 to 6 during most of its delibera- tions since last Friday afternoon, had switched to to when Judge Shenk called 1t in to report shortly before o'clock. The foreman stated the numerical alignment without in- dicating whether the majority was for conviction or acquittal
 The judge asked each member for an opinion as to whether there was chance for verdict. The majority replied in the affirmative.
 After sending the seven women and five men jurors to the jury room the judge directed that if they failed to reach a verdict during the evening they be taken to a hotel for the night They have passed the last three nights in two small rooms in the county hall of justice, where ac- commodations are meager.
 The jury at this time had broken all records for deliberation in a criminal case in Los Angeles county. Mrs. Obenchain, pale and with drawn features, listened intently as the jurors reported there was a possibil- ity of reaching a verdict Later she said:
 If the taxpayers can stand this monkey business, I certainly can for a little while longer. am sorry the jurors are subject to the confines of the county jail.'
 The jury retired for the night at 7:30 o'clock. Its members announced they would take advantage of the courts permission to devote the evening to recuperation and resume their deliberations tomorrow morn ng.

UNIONS FOACCEPT HARDING'S PROPOSAL BUT 1T REMAINS TO CONVINCE 4 FEW OF
 THE EXECUTIVES; HOPE FELT FOR PEACE
Associated Press Night wirel

WASHINGTON, D. C., July 31.- Convinced that the railroad strike would be a matter of history within 24 hours after acceptance by railroad shopmcn and transportation chiefs of President Harding's compromise plan, all of the governments influ- ence was mustered tonight behind the effort to obtain adoption by the em- ,ployers' meeting in New York and that of the employees in Chicago to- morrow.
 Chairman Hooper of the labor board, after a conference with Presi- dent Harding, today left for Chicago to be on hand when the meeting is called of the general policy commit tee of the striking shopcrafts unions. Secretary Hoover left tonight to at tend the New York meeting of the executives.
 There was little doubt in admins tration circles concerning acceptance by the union leaders of the proposed compromise settlement. Several rail road executives, however, are known to hold strong objections because of their belief that it would entail aban- donment of new employees who have stuck through the strike as well as new men who ignored strong induce ments not to accept employment.

BAPTIST MEET
 OPENS TO-DAY.

In spite of the indictment weather, leaders of the Baptist convention which starts at the tabernacle tent in Pine Dells today, are confident of good attendance at the statewide conference. The program as pre- pared will go through, it was said by H. Q. Morton, the secretary.
 This IS the first Baptist summer assembly held hers and if the mem bers approve, it may be expected that more permanent location will be made.
 Many of the delegates were cx- pected to come by automobile, more. in fact, than by train. The state of the roads due to the mountain rains is not regarded as a great impedi- ment to the assembly, however.
 The encampment will rise at 6:30 this morning prepared for a day of registration, getting acquainted and for the 10-day assembly. The 11:30 lecture this morning IS by the Rev. F. P. Manley of India, and tonights feature IS the message of the Rev. J. D. Springson of Los An geles. Mir. Mortons lecture at 7:30 this evening will probably be on the topic: "The Ministry of Healing"
