PHOENIX IS REPUBLICAN Voters' Approval ol Present Management of Affairs WARM AND CLOSE ELECTION John A. Marshall Candidate for Council From the Third Ward the Victim of an Eleventh Hour Movement. Only RepublicanDefeated. The city election resulted In the fol lowing government for the next two years: .Mayor. Lloyd B. Christy, republican. Marshal, A. J. Moore, republican. Treasurer, H. A. Diehl, republican. l:ecor.ler, Frank Thomas, republican. Assessor and Tax Collector, C. V. Harnett, republican. Councilman First V.'ard, Charles A. Siauffer. republioan. Councilman Third Ward, Eugene lla. kett, democrat. It was as warm a municipal election as Phoenix has had in several years and much of the result was involved in doubt until the count was nearly finished. It was conceded from the beginning that Lloyd B. Christy would defeat Robert Fridel for mayor, but the democrats would concede nothing more than that. On the other hand they claimed the election offGoldman in the first ward and of ILackett in the third. They assumed to believe that the election of Vernon Clark for treasurer was something already set tled. - Notwithstanding the interest man ifested in the election the vote was got out with a great deal of difficulty and more than four hundred of the regis tered voters were not got at all. The challenging was brisk, usually basedrn one-?f-wi grounds either that the voter could not read the con stitution of the United States or that he was not a resident of the ward where he was attempting to vote and was not a bona fide resident of the eiiy. Oiallenges having been disallowed in the third ward in three cases the vot i rs were promptly arrested on John We warrants with which the demo cratic managers were provided and two of the voters were locked up. It was asserted that though they claimed Mrs. Limbrock's lodging house as a resi fi'iice. she had stated that they did not live there. The register of the house was sent for and if was found that they had been there as early as April 5. Application was made for writs of habeas corpus in their behalf but before they were issued the charges were withdrawn. In the third case it was claimed that the voter had not a legal residence in the city. A prominent democrat came forward and said that he had known him and had done business with him in Fhoenlx for more than a year. The democrats made several charges of illiteracy but the election boards were satisfied with the reading of the opening lines of the constitution. It was claimed by the democrats that they had been memorized. The only voter debarred for failure to read was a democrat. There was very little disorder about the polls but a terrible earnestness. There was a hurrying of carriages and automobiles after dilatory voters and at two o'clock it looked as if half the registered vote would not be cast. That fact was seized upon by the demo crats as a basis for a claim of certain victory. There were then 200 votes in the second ward missing but later a large majority of them were recovered so that when the polls closed this ward had made the best showing. The democrats expressed great con fidence in the election of Wayne Davis for marshal. A number of the friends of .Marshal Moore were offering to bet that his majoritv would reach 400. In the beginning of the count It was shown that the republicans had a long lead in straight ballots. John A. Mar shall, republican candidate for council man in the third ward, had a majority of forty-eight. But when the counting of the scratched ballots began this lead began melting away until when the last vote was counted Hackett had a majority of seven. The bulk of the opposition to Mr. Marshall is said to have been developed within the last iv.'enty-four hours and was based on bis action in the council in support of 'lie ordinance to prevent drinking in he clubs. It was also claimed by his friends that though the election board was "publican it had a majority unfriendly him and that at least seven votes for hint which should have been counted where thrown out. One of these had a cross in the square over the demo cratic column and another in the souare in front of the name of M" Marshall. The greatest interest .centered about the first ward count where the result was so close that it was in doubt un til there-were no more than twenty five ballots to be counted. When it was half finished Mr. Stauffer led Mr. Goldman by only seven. Later the lead was increased to sixteen and then sank back to seven again. It was doubtful if It would not disappear al together wThen there were only seventy-five ballots to be counted the tide set in favor of Stauffer and kept In creasing until he had a lead of thirty. This was maintained until his major ity was greater than the number of ballots to be counted and he gained two more. The vacuum franchise proposition was carried with little opposition. What there was is supposed to have come from those who are constitution ally opposed to franchises. The following is the result by wards: Mayor. Wards 12 3 4 Total Christy.

The Punishment of Adana Murders to Be Undertaken. Tarsus, May 4. During the recent massacres, the Armenian population at Kozolook was put to death, without mercy. Word that the Mohammedans were killing Armenians reached Kozo look before the actual attack on the place, and when the first considerable party of Mohammedans arrived, they found the Armenians well armed and in good defensive positions. The Mohammedans did not feel strong enough to attack, so they gath ered reinforcements until more than one thousand of them, well armed, sur rounded the village. The governor of the district promised to protect the Armenians If they would give up their arms. This the Armenians decided to do, after a long parley. Then, under pretense of taking them to a place of safety, they were led, under an escort, to an open field. Here the men were ruthlessly killed and the women maltreated. A number of Ar menian girls were forced to marry Turks.

MEET IN COMBAT VARYING VIEWS ON TARIFF REVISION. " The Debate Was Edifying to the Democratic Senators. Washington, May 4. Notable speeches causing an interesting de bate characterized the session of the senate today. Senator Dolltver, of Iowa, attacked the methods under which protective tariff bills are form ed and he had a lively tilt with Senator Aldrich. The democratic sen ators remained silent. At times the republican debate threatened to become acrimonious, but the Iowa senator was ever ready with a humorous retort which called forth laughter when angry words seemed unavoidable. Dolliver attacked the wool and cot ton schedules. A considerable por tion of his remarks was addressed directly to Mr. Aldrich. He called the senate the chamber of treachery. He said the rates on the wool and cotton schedules were high enough twenty years ago. " "What I ask today of the party leaders is to take us back not. to 1890 when McKinley in despair turn ed the making of the wool tariff over to a muss meeting of its beneficiaries but to 1888 when the senator from Rhode Island labored with Allison in preparation of the only schedule on woolens in forty years in which the public interest or welfare of the republican party was made para mount over sordid, private consid eration." Senator Borah concluded his speech on the income tax, delivering an ex tended legal argument to sh.ow that there was ample reason for believing that the supreme court might reverse itself if the constitutionality of that tax should again be presented to it. A strong plea for the extension of the protective tariff system to jute was made by Senator Bradley of Kentucky who declared that with the protective policy covering the pro ducts of his state, Kentucky would be safely republican In the future.

PROTECTOR OF Russia is Not to Be Fooled Again By the Shah WITH PROMISE OF REFORM The Bear Will Keep His Hold Upon the Country Until the New Government is in Running Order- The Sav ing of Tabriz. St. Petersburg. May 4. The Rus sian foreign office is not disposed to attach much weight to the news that the shah of Persia has proclaimed reforms, having learned, through bit ter experience, to mistrust such pro nunciamentos until they are put into operation. Pressure on the shah will not be relaxed and the troops at Tabriz will not be retired before the new govern ment is installed and has proved its ability to cope with the chronic dis orders of Persia. The Russian ex pedition at Tabriz is already finding it necessary to extend its operation. The Kurdish tribesmen, balked in their attempts to plunder Tabriz, have turned their attention to the outlying villages and towns, and ap peals have been made from various quarters to General Snarsky. the Russian commander, for protection.

FRIEDMAN MT&Zu&o7e' LA LAWS ARE SACRED Ann1 Department of Agriculture Must Observe Them SAYS SECRETARY BALLINGER There is to Be No More Reck less Withdrawal of Land For "Administrative" or Other Purposes Save as the Laws Authorize. Washington, May 4. Reversing the policy adopted during the Roosevelt administration by Secretary Garfield. Secretary Ballinger restricted Jo the minimum the amount of land the de partment of agriculture may withdraw from'entry for improvement and for administrative purposes. The interior department hereafter will not grant any request from the forest service for withdrawal from en try for administrative purposes, lands within forest reservations in the states of Oregon, Washington, Idaho, Mon tana, Colorado or Wyoming. In other stutes, land outside of reservations may be withdrawn when the forest service shows the necessity for with drawal. This decision was reached when Sec retary Wilson, on behalf of the forest service, requested the withdrawal of lands in the Chelan national forest, Washington, for "an administration site." Secretary Ballinger refused the request. He quoted to Secretary Wil son the law in reference to lands in forest reservations. A withdrawal such as you request," wrote Ballinger, "would have the effect of suspending the operation of these laws as to the land affected by the order and is. in my opinion, in the absence of addition al legislative authority, without legal authority." Mr. Ballinger's position was that ad ditions to the reservations, even for administrative purposes, were forbid den, despite the attitude of his prede cessor, by the agricultural appropria tion of l:07. which provided that no forest reservation should be created or any addition be made to any already existing in the states mentioned.
