 TO BID ON CRYSTAL
 ICS COMPANY PLANT
From Sundays Daily)

Objections were made to accept ance of a bid of $23,OOO for the plant of the Crystal Ice company at a
 hearing ill the court of Superior Judge John J. Sweeney yesterday morning, when smaller creditors of the company declared the bid was too low and the plant worth more than the amount offered The bid was made by Dixon Fagerberg and Henry Brinkmeyer, for J. NJ. Aitken, and was opposed by Norris & Norris, Anderson, Gale &, Nilsson, Russell & Stack and C. C. Norton, attorneys for smaller creditors, who objected to the consideration of any bids.

WHIPPLE MEN MAY SECURE RESIDENTS
 HUNTING LICENSES
From Tuesdays Daily)

Disabled eX-service men at Whip pie Barracks are residents of the state for the purpose of securing hunting licenses, according to a ruling of State Game Warden Joe Prochaska, information of which was received here yesterday ill response to query from R. E. Donovan, clerk of the board of supervisors.
 Many of the patients at Whipple have called at the office of the board to secure hunting licenses for short jaunts into the hills after rabbits; and since many do not stay at the fort long enough to qualify as resi- dents, the clerk was at a loss to know whether to charge them the resident license fee of $1.5O or the nonresident fee of $l0, which seem ed unfair. He wrote the state game warden as follows:
 "Whipple Barracks is located here with hiX or seven hundred patients who are coming and going. These boys are chasing their health and never stay long enough to gain a residence. A great many of them like to tramp around and hunt little, shooting rabbits, but do not feel financially able to pay $10 for a nonresident license. I have not issued resident licenses to these boys, although l feel that possibly an ex- ception should be made in their case" To which the state game warden's office replied:
 Replying to. your favor of the Sth, please be advised that Mir. Pro- chaska has made a ruling that all eX-soldiers now disabled, and all sol diers now in service, will be con sidered residents of this state for this purpose and licenses may be issued to them as such."

INSPIRATION TO SET TIMES ARICHT GIVEN GRADUATES OF
 HIGH SCHOOL BY DR. FRANCIS

i. A third point was that each should bring himself into accord with some religious faith. That, said Dr. Fran cis, was not only the moral thing, but the sensible thing to do, for it made for success. It gave the indi- vidual 2 broader view because it made him look upon two worlds in- stead of one, 1t expanded the vision beyond the tomorrows and the next weeks and years, to all time to come.
 In closing, Dr. Francis said the motto should be:
 "Oh glorious sight, that I am born to set them right!"
 Diplomas, Reports
 Dr. Finn as president of the school board introduced the speakers in his usual happy way. NJ. B. Hazeltine, clerk of the board, reported the prog ress of the institutions and said that the financial condition was satisfac- tory, a balance being on hand for next year.
 Music was provided by the school orchestra, Miss Marjorie Nelson, a vocalist of high popularity, and the girls glee club.
 Howard Cornick, member of the school board, presented the diplomas, reminding the class that they were merely laying the cornerstone here, of their careers.
 Rev. o. NJ. Andrews pronounced the invocation and Dr. E. Lee How ard the benediction.
 The following graduates received their diplomas:
 Alton Andrews, Paul Amberg, Joe Archambeau, Harold Block, Ernest Born, Donald Bradley, Max Escher, Walter Marshall, Paul Hummer, George Raitt, Charles Suder, Eugene Weiland, Ralph Weiland, Vaida Cook, Mattie Cooper, Regina Devin, Helen Finlayson, Mary Louise Lofland, Dorothy Morrison, Agnes Oliver, Alta Bedding, Meredith Bedding, Dorothy Stuart, Margaret Watson.

"The times are out of joint Oh cursed spite, that l be born to
 set them right"

High school graduates, who had filed solemnly into the auditorium land taken their places on the plat form before q crowded house last night, were adrnonished in q very splendid address by Dr. James A. Francis to glory in the fact they had been born to set right the times SC out of joint.
 In most happy paraphrase oi Shakespeare's quotation, the principal speaker at the Prescott High school commencement last night, was able to inspire those young men and women with something of the great spirit that has made him a famed minister from coast to coast. Dr
 Francis manner was not the stereo. typed one of the commencement ora tor.
 He introduced his address to the class by the statement that these times are most sadly out of joint He pointed to the necessity for good laws and their enforcement. America he said, had written more law on its statute books in a year than Eng land has written in thousand years This plethora of regulations natural ly causes carclessness in their ob- servance and in their enforcement.
 Three points were stressed for the young men and women. They were told to establish an ideal of the sort Of man or woman they intended to be. Like that Englishman the speaker had seen at a dinner i'll 1918, inven- tor of the dreadnaught, who was said to have visualized his battieship in his brain before ever the keel was laid, each graduate should set up in mind the image of the righteous citi- zen he most desired to be. Without such an ideal, it would be a tortuous journey through life.
 Good habits should be formed. The speaker alluded to but two habits-that of self-pity which he condemned and that of being reliable, which he commended.

SIDELIGHTS
 ON N. ]. W. SHOW
CFrom Sundays Dailvl


 There were many sidelights on the Way Out West show that could not be treated as they deserved in first and hurried accounts of that great day of play.
 The streets yesterday abounded with talk of the genuine success of every part of the program. Natural ly, the chief topic Of conversation was the Smoki snake dance.
 It cost heavily this year to repro duce the sacred tribal ceremony. But not an item is bcgrudged by the management The stage setting this year was thoroughly well worth while, according to everyone who saw it. Manager Totten constructed the Smoki house with the assistance of Miss Kate Cory, artist, student of aboriginal works and customs. Miss Cory, with Doc Raemond, succeeded in reproducing with fine fidelity, the village setting in which the snake dance is conducted.
 Naturally the Smoki are nameless Whatever credit they obtain for their hard work and preparation of costumes belongs rather in the chronicles of the tribe than in the columns Of the press.
 As several hundred know, the Way Out West did not close with the finale at the fair grounds. At night there was a dance at the Frolic which Manager Pickerill, most gen erous of hosts, had turned absolutely over to the Way Out West. As a result of that dance, $l76 net was added to the Way Out West fund.
 Nah -Tee-Wah
 Undoubtedly the most appreciated part of the dance was the interpreta- ton of Miss Frances Munds, daugh- ter of MT. and Mrs. J. L. Munds of Prescott and Cottonwood. hnper- sonating Nah-Tee-Wah, a Smoki princess, she brought to her dance the results of her studies at Denish- avn, Los Angeles, where she is one of the young Arizonans rapidly mak- ing a name as an interpretative dancer.

TWO JUR|ES AFTER DATA
 ABOUT KHAN
Federal and County Grand Juries at Phoenix Both Summon Wit nesses Including Governor Thomas E. Campbell.

l PHOENIX. June 13.-Interest in the investigation of the Ku Klux
 Klan was revived today, with the
 knowledge that Governor Campbell
 had been called before the county
 grand jury and the federal grand
 jury, both of which bodies are under
 stood to have taken up the probe.
 In view of the former attempts to have Governor Campbell divuIge the names of members of the organiza- ton, as contained on an extensive
 listing in his possession, it is pre-
 sumed that the object in having him appear before these inquisatorial
 bodies was to have him testify con- corning all matters pertaining to the Ku Klux which have come to his attention
 Governor Campbell has taken bold stand against the Ku Klux Klan ever since certain acts of violence were attributed to its membership. Following the whipping by a mask ed crowd of Rollin Jones, principal of a school near Mesa, the governor issued a proclamation offering re- ward of $250 for the arrest and con viction of the perpetrators of the outrage. Since then $50 additional has been posted. ..:
 In the course of the trial of the Waller brothers, as two of the all legged participants in the violence against Jones, the governor an- nounced that he had in his posses sion list of members, containing some of the most prominent citizens Of the state, showing a membership of at least 300 in Maricopa county and 900 in the state.
 The governor was then subpoe- 1aed by the defense in the Waller ,ase, and appeared on the witness stand with a large roll of papers, the list in question. Ef- orts to examine the governor, how .ver, were frustrated by County At orney R. E. L. Shepherd.

JIMMIE LOWRY
 E FOUND DEAD

James Lowry, one of the best known boys of Yavapai county, democratic candidate for assessor at the last election, was found dead in his bed in a Los Angeles apartment Iyestcrday morning, according to in- formation received yesterday by Neil Clark. His father, James Lowry, was shot and killed in the course of duty as a peace officer at Clemen- ceau ill July, 1918. Mrs. Lowry was until lately matron at the court house.
 But his distinguished connections were not the chief claim Jimmie Lowry had to interest and admira- ton. He was one of Yavapai's vic tims in the World war, having been terribly wounded in the fighting on the Flanders front. For Jamie had been an army man, the same as his brother, Malcolm. And it was as sumed here that his death was due to the belated effects of severe wounds from which he suffered dur ing three patient years following the war.
 No particulars were received with the informs ton, but it was said that E. S. Clark of Phoenix, who has been interested in the Lowry estate, had been summoned to Los Angeles in connection with the sad death.

MARS NEAR EARTH AND L0WELL OBSERVATORY SPENDS NIGHTS IN
 CONTEMPLATION OF HIS MYSTERY

Mars, these nights with the excep- ton of Venus, the brightest object
 i'll the sky, was passing the opposi-
 ton. Approaching closer to the earth than at any time since 1909, this planet, about half the diameter oi the earth, is being made the sub lject of an intensive years work at the Lowell Observatory at Flagstaff.
 The Journal-Miner has obtained from Professor F. C. Slipher, direc- tor of the observatory. a most com Iplete statement concerning the big red planet, the work being done at Lowell Observatory, and d hint of the results being obtained.
 This is d most unusual opportunity for information concerning the special studies being made by Dr. Slipher and his corps of observers. But more significant than anything else is the declaration of the director that observations at the opposition are bringing more and more conclusive evidence of the existence of life-con- ditions on this interesting world.
 Dr. Slipher says in concluding his statement:
 Tn conclusion, the observations show the existence on Mars of the essentials for organic life - water vapor and sufficient warmth. Fur thermore to explain the changes in the dark markings which were shown in the photographs to wax darker ill the Martian summer, nothing ten able has been suggested but life in the form of vegetation
 Dr. Percival Lowell, founder Of the observatory, who died in No vember, l9l6 is responsible for the fullest development of the planetary study. He stated as a principle of this research that owing to distances and imperfect means of extending the vision, no basis could be found for study except the changing aspects of the planets surfaces. His will left the observatory to be conducted in a further prosecution of the search for truth about the earths 
 Mars is not the nearest planet, nor even large one compared with the earth, but its orbit, just outside that C. the earth, the comparative rarity or its atmosphere and other condi- tions make it the best for study. fierce Lowell Observatory has been made the center of authoritative in vestigations on this particular heaven ly body.
 And ii is not the nearness at this opposition that makes Mars a special object of study. The astronomer cares more for the opportunity for long nights, months at time, when he can survey the planet and view the changing conditions that portray themselves in the 24-inch refractor and the 40-inch reflector with which i
