2 DELEGATES CLASH ON TRUST ISSUES Brisk Debate Waged Over Corpo ration Commission Measure at Phoenix Convention LEGISLATURE PLAN ADOPTED Senate Will Have Nineteen Mem bers, and Thirty-Five Is Number for House (Associated Press) PHOENIX, Ariz., Nov. 23.—A storm was precipitated in the constitutional convention tonight over the corpora tion commission measure submitted by the committee on railroads and the . public service corporations. As draft- | ed by the two committees it gave the commission supervision over private j corporations as well as railroads, and public service corporations, which Lynch, of Graham county, designated as "radicalism run riot." There was a sharp division among the Democrats and the debate was acrimonious. Ellinwood, of Cochise, led the opposition and his motion, lim iting the control of the commission to i public service corporations, carried by a vote of 24 to 20. On motion of Cun nlff,, oil companies were included. After a debate lasting- almost five hours, the convention adopted the leg islative department measure as recom mended by the legislative committee, ■with only a few amendments. Strenu- . ous efforts were made to change U>«J apportionment of senators, and repre sentatives and also the pay. of legis lators, but the committee's,'recommen dations were followed '.ii these In- . stances. The senate id be composed , of ninet^n members.,' the house of thirty-five, and .the 'compensation of | members was fixed at $7 per day. An ' effort ran.de Y>_ the labor members ■ to hp.ve the pay raised to $10 failed, nf 'did an attempt to eliminate the ■tate senate and otherwise reduce the j apportionment. ♦-♦ FRATERNITY BROTHER MAY SAVE HYDE FROM PRISON Montana Man Comes to Aid of Al- j leged Murderer KANSAS CITY, Nov.

" OIL MAN DENIES BURR CONNECTION Eastern reports that the Evans or California Consolidated Oil companies of Southern California are affiliated with the Burr companies in New York are denied by H. B. Guthrey, 501 Citi zens National Bank building, president of the Yellowstone Oil company. While Mr. Guthrey is not connected directly v.i" Evans Interests, he states that 'is in a position to know of the com pany's affairs and that there should be no doubt as to its integrity. Mr, Guthrey received a number of telegrams yesterday from New York from persons seeking information. In an interview last night he said: "I hope the people of California are not confusing the Evans oil companies i with Burr interests of New York, as some of the eastern people seem to be : doing. Why there should be any doubt or suspicion to warrant investigation | by the government in the operations of I the California company is more than I I can see. "It really is to be regretted that such a report should be started about a com pany beaded by such men as ... D. Evans, Col. Timothy Spellacy and J. D. Thompson. The last two mentioned are pioneers in the oil business of tho state and are foremost in financial and social circles. "It is a mystery to me how these men or their property, -which represents millions, could .be mistrusted. The Premier Oil company, which is in cluded in the Consolidated. Is headed by J. D. Thompson and Timothy Spel lacy. The property is valued at $1, --350,000 and at present 70,000 barrels of oil are being produced a month. "The Mascot company, in the Mid way fleld, produces 90.000 barrels of oil a month and is valued at J2,000,000 and is now selling easily at from $3.50 to $4 a share. In addition It owns a con trolling stock in the Yellowstone com pany, with a production of 10,000 bar rels a month In the Kern River field. It also has 160 acres in the Sunset Mid way district, which is now being de veloped, and also forty-five in the Mc- Kittrlck field, upon which a number of wells are in operation. "Mr. Spellacy and Mr. Thompson are both in the Mascot field with Mr. Evans and eighteen eastern people in a special car and will spend Thanks giving there. It will probably be four or five days before they return to this city,'' ; 'AMUSEMENTS HAMBURGER'S MAJESTIC THEATER hSb^wxh LOS ANGELES' LEADING PLAYHOUSE. OLIVER MOROSCO. MANAGER. sure. oMme.

Was of Unsound Mind (Special to The Herald) SAN BERNARDINO, Nov. 2).— with the terms of their fath er's will, which provides that the' es tate valued at {3,500,000 shall be held in trust for 75 years, the children of the late George M. Meyers, million aire tobacco manufacturer of St. Louis, who di- several months ago at Red lands, today filed a contest in the su perior court, alleging that their fath er was of unsound mind when he made his will. Meyers left his entire estatt to his three children, George Meyers Coppel, Mildred May Meyers and Bob Meyers Babcock, and his grandchild, George Meyers Church. Immediately following the filing of the objection a special administrator was appointed on petition of the heirs at-law by Judge Oster. This special administrator is John S. Cravens, son in-law of the late millionaire, who was named in the will as executor and one of the two trustees of the estate. The petition for special letters states that at the time of Meyer's death he was engaged In building a structure in Kansas City to cost $91,000. This is one of the main reasons urged for the appointing of a special administra tor tog-ether with the filing of the no tice of contest which promises to tie up the estate for many months.
