Ben F. Carter Elected
Phoenix Commissions


PHOENIX, April 5. R9-Ben T. Car
ter was elected city commissioner
here today over Luke Henderson by a
majority of 1875 votes. The vote:
Carter, 2,263; Henderson, 2,137.
Carter was running under the ban
ner of Mayor Frank A. Jefferson,
while Henderson had the support of
the so-called regulars, he having been
in office four consecutive terms.
That the result of today's election
may be thrown out was brought for
ward by Henderson's supporters to-
night, basing their contention upon
the suit filed by Henderson following
his defeat for the city commissioner
ship in the primary election. The last
official canvass of the first election
showed Henderson losing the right to
claim the office by one-half vote.

MADRID, July IA parade Of
20 airplanes flying over the Spanish
zone IN close formation and finally
landing at Tetuan marked the end
of the Spanish Moroccan campaign,
officially announced by Gen. Sanjurjo
in stirring order of the day, address
ed to the expeditionary force and the
naval contingent.
The Spanish flag. accompanied by
the Kaliphian standard, has been
planted in q series of the remotest
valleys and the remaining groups of
rebels have been dispersed by a brill
liant series of operations through the
Ketama and James tribe lands. with
the cooperation of French forces from
the Ouezzan sector. where Gen. Cham
brun, former military attache at
Washington, is in command.
In the order, Gen. Sanjurjo paid a
warm tribute to the French forces,
but stressed mostly the great effort
OF the Spanish army in overcoming
the resistance of the Berber tribes,
whose territory no Sultan of Morocco
ever penetrated, and whence even the
Roman legions recoiled.
Since the surrender of Add Ell Krim,
the Riffian leader. a little over a year
ago, the Spanish have captured AZ 900
rifles, $50 cannon and 240 machine
guns, all of which We're taken from
warriors who prize firearms far more
than life.
On his return from the field, Gen.
Sanjurjo and his staff were received
with great pomp and ceremony by the
Kaliphian government at Tetuan. Now.
while the troops are enjoying a we'll
earned repose. the civil service de-
partments are commencing work with
giving employment to the submitted
tribes. who are helping as wage earn
ers to build bridges and roads. This
policy of following up military sue
cess with public works designed to aid
the welfare of the vanquished is a new
feature of Spanish conduct, which
promies far-reaching results.
