FOR KLAN ATTACK
IN FINAL MESSAGE
Sensation Created in House
Following Farewell Address
When Wood Defends InViS-
ibIe Empire

A sensation was created in the
house of representatives Friday aft
ernoon when Representative j. o.
Wood, of Fulton county, assailed
Governor Hardwick for an attack
bn the Ku Klux Khan in the message

reading to the general assembly.
Immediately after Governor Hard
wick had left the chamber and the
members of the senate had returned
10 their side of the capitol, Repre-
sentative Wood arose to a point of
personal privilege. He stated that

MAY COLLECT MILLION FROM
DELINQUENT CORPORATIONS

Over $4,000 was received by the
state corporation commission from
corporations delinquent in the payment
of annual fees to the state.
A last minute rusn to make delin-
quent payments is flooding the Golfers
of the commission with money. Be-
ginning July / the corporation COM
mission will start action against de-
linquent corporations, and are author
lied under an act of the last legisla-
ture to declare delinquent corpora
tions legally dead. =.
After due notice corporations will
be given a reasonable time in which
to file their annual reports and pay up
their debt to the state. If they make
payments and file reports, no further
action will be taken by the commits
sion, though after proceedings once
start against corporation it can set
tie only by paying what it owes and
court costs in addition. :.
1t is believed that the new law will
result in the collection of close to a
million dollars in delinquent fees. The
money collected goes into the general
fund Of the state for general disburse-

THERE
AMALCAMATED NOW
GETTING NEAR ORE

Yesterday the heading of the cross
cut from the 600 level of the Oatman
Amalgamated had reached 568 feet
from the drift and every round was
expected to break into the vein. The
vein had been picked up by diamond
drilling and showed pron1isingly, SO
much so that the corporation conclud-
ed to drive crosscut to the vein and
thoroughly explore it.
The Amalgamated has q large
group of claims situated at point
where engineers have diagnosed the
juncture of the Gold Road and Tom
Reed vein systems, and which shows
number of important outcrops. The
property was originally located by
George w. Long and ]. L. McIver and
by them disposed to the present own
ing corporation. The company has
done a large amount of work on the
claims and has found promising
lenzes of ore. But so far no ore has
been entered on the 600 level, except
some small stringers, owing to the
fact that the shaft was carried down
quite a distance from the main miner
alization of the property. Everybody
in the camp is looking anxiously to the
picking up of great vein of ore in
the development now being carried on,
and engineers who have visited the
property are of the opinion that some
thing good will be cut there.-King
man Miner.

COUNTIES ARE BUILDING
ROADS AROUND COCONINO

One of the puZZ1ng questions Wh1cn
will come up for discussion at the next
meeting Of the Gila county board of
supervisors to be held next Monday at
Globe is what shall be done in connec-
tion with arrangements looking to-
wards the construction of the Fossil
creek north and south highway to
Yavapai.
Ran Bone, who has just returned
from the north part of Gila county,
has received the following telegram:
Phoenix, Arizona, June 25, 1923.
"Ran Bone, County Engineer, Globe,
Arizona.
"Yavapai county agrees to maintain
useable connection with Strawberry
Fossil creek road. When can rep
resentative of this office meet Gila
county board of supervisors with ten
tative cooperative agreement for
Strawberry-Foss Creek?
EVEREST"
Mr. Bone at once wired the assist
ant superintendent of the bureau Of
public roads to the effect that the
Gila Go. board Of supervisors would
hold its next meeting on Monday,
July 2.
Already discussion has arisen in
the northern part of the county as to
whether in the event of Yavapai coun-
ty being unable to furnish the money
to build a first class road through
Yavapai county to the Gila county line
it would not be better for Gila county
to build from Young in the direction
of Holbrook or Winslow or even build
the Rice-Springerville road through
the White mountains, the argument in
favor of the Rice-Springeville road
being that it would provide an all
they year-round route through Gila
county for automobile tourists. A
north and south road through Arizona
tapping the great Santa iee railroad
district at some point, seems neces-
sity, but it is argued that any roads
built by Gila county ought to be
matched by equally good roads in the
counties to the north of ella county.
It this connection it is stated that
the Santa Fe railroad people are
anxious to get share of the tourist
travel into the Roosevelt Lake dis
trict. One report is to the effect that
persons connected with the Santa Fe
railroad have already offered DAD
Carr of Cars ranch, $4,000 for that
property, with the idea of establish
ing an up-to-date summer resort at
that point.-Miami Silver Belt.

SANTA FE DOUBLE TRACK
AND NEW DEPOT PROMISED

Workmen are engaged in laying
steel on the Santa Fe railroad
through Holbrook. There is a force
of men at work and they are making
excellent progress. The business Of
the Santa Fe in the matter of trans
continental as we'll as local business Is
rapidly increasing, necessitating the
laying new and heavier rails.
1t is said that the work of double
tracking the road through Holbrook
will commence late in the year or
early in 1924. Work along this line
is being carried on in Mohave county,
as well as in parts of New Mexico,
west of Albuquerque. When the dou-
BILE tracking is undertaken at Hol-
brook, further report is that a hand
some new depot will be erected by the
Santa Fe in Holbrook in conformity
with the great business handled at
this point by the railroad.-Holbrook

STATE FILES ANSWER IN
MINIMUM WAGE CASE

In a joint answer filed in Tucson
Monday, John w. Murphy, attorney
general, and w. A. O'Connor, county
attorney of Santa Cruz county, de-
PENDANTS in an action brought in the
federal court by A. Sardell, of No
gales, proprietor of a confectionery,
to have the $16 week minimum wage
bill of Arizona declared unconstitu-
tional, deny most of the allegations
made by Sadell and ask that the COM
plant be dismissed on the grounds
that it is not authorized by law.
The suit was filed several days ago
by Sardell, who asked that tempo
rary restraining order be issued en-
joining the defendants from prosecu-
ting him until the case was heard in a
court of equity. A hearing on this
was held in Tucson June 18, and was
refused by Judge William H. Saw
telle after the defendants had agreed
that they would not prosecute Sardell
until the suit had been heard. This
stipulation, it was understood, applied
only to the Sardell case.
Following the hearing, Judge Saw
telle set the case for hearing before
a court of equity composed of thre5
federal judges, the hearing to be held
in Tucson on July 18. The answer to
the suit was filed on Monday in the
federal court in Tucson by Earl An
derson, deputy attorney general, act
ing for Mr.. Murphy, who is in Wash
ington participating in the argument
of the three-cent fare and the express
rate cases.

ESPECIALLY PACKED RIVER
CONFERENCE MEETS SECRETLY Y

A mantle Of secrecy shroulds the
meeting of the Colorado river commit
tee of nine, at Tucson last week.
Although the meeting was to have
started al 10 o'clock, there was a
short delay occasioned by the late ar
rival from Phoenix of Louis w. Doug
las, chairman Of the committee, and
Howard A. Elliott of Clifton, who did
not reach Tucson until nearly 10:30
o'clock. Upon the arrival of the chair
man the nine men chosen by Governor
George w. P. Hunt to work out plan
for the development Of the water
course, went Immediately into session.
Members of the committee APP
preached were reticent in speaking of
the probable action that may be taken,
and stated that it was problematical
whether any direct vote would be ta-
ken upon the situation, or whether
the meeting would be confined entire
" to the absorption of information
on the various phases of the subject.

CAMPBELL SAYS RECOGNITION
OF MEXICO is VERY PROBABLE

Belief that the conference between
United States and Mexican commits
sioners relative to the recognition OF
the Mexican government was pro-
crossing in good shape and that the
ultimate outcome of the negotiations
appeared to be very optimistic at the
present time was expressed by former
Governor Thomas E. Campbell fol-
lowing his return from six weeks
soiourn in Mexico City, where the
conference is now in progress.
The former governor of Arizona
said that he had no official connec-
tion with the negotiations now in
progress, but that he acted in an un-
official capacity as representative
of both governments. He went to
Mexico City early in May about the
time that the two United States COM
missioners entered the republic and
said that he returned to Arizona when
he saw that his services We're no
