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. John Ed
gerton of Helena, Mont., a fraternity
brother of Dr. B. C. Hyde, convicted of
the murder of Col. Thomas H. Swope,
millionaire and philanthropist, has I
come to the doctor's aid. In a letter |
received here Edgerton says he sent
Hyde two pounds of cyanide in July,
1893, after a casual meeting with the
physician on board a train In Kansas. j
Tin's statement may bridge what was i
claimed to be the weakest point in
Hyde's defense.
Hyde testified he found cyanide of
potassium useful in killing bugs. He
said he could not remember where he
got it.
Hyde is under life sentence for the 1
murder of Col. Swope and has ap
pealed to the supreme court.
ADMITS HE SENT LETTER
HELENA, Mont., Nov. 23.—John Ed
gerton, one of the best known mining
men in the state and a member of the
last legislative assembly, tonight ad
mitted he had sent the letter referred
to in the Kansas City dispatch, and
also stated he had sent Dr. Hyde two
pounds of cyanide in July, 1893, but de
clined to make any extended state
ment.

COURT ORDERS DECREE
DISMISSING COMPLAINT
IN IMPERIAL LAWSUIT
Judge Wellborn entered a decree
yesterday in the United State- district
court sustaining the demurrer and dis
missing Ihe complaint In the action
brought hr the Imperial Light, Water
and Power company In seeking to pre
vent the city of Imperial from excavat
ing the streets preparatory to establish
ing a water system.
The water company formerly owned
the townsite of Imperial and in turning
the land over to the city reserved the
right exclusively to use the streets for
laying and maintaining water mains.
Mince then the corporation has furnished
the city with water, but the city re
cently voted bonds to establish a plant
of its own and the corporation filed suit
when work was started by the city to
lay mains In the streets, asking for an
Injunction restraining the city from ex
cavating. "
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,''

Kin Charge That Meyers, Who
Died at Redlands. 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.

was born seventy-two years ago, and
