PHOENIX , Ariz. , Nov. 17. The Arizona Improvement company , the dominant corpora tion in the irrigation works of the Salt River valley , has been made defendant In the dis trict court in three suits , each praying for the appointment of a receiver. One of the suits Is filed by local users of water. The other Is from the j Merchants' Loan and Trust com- pany of Chicago , trustee for the holders of about $1,500,000 of bonds , mainly held In eastern states. The Interest has been de faulted for two semi-annual payments. To thceo are to be added floating indebtedness. The foreclosure applications will not be fought by the stockholders of the company. An agreement has been reached by the main parties Involved that W. J. Murphy , presi , dent of the company , shall be named as receiver ' ! ceiver and that he shall be empowered to proceed in the cleaning and enlarging of the immense head canal. The property con- ES'S ! of the Arizona canal and a controlling Interest In the Marlcopa and Salt River Val ley canals and their feeder , the water power canal , to these being attached 5,000 acres of choice lands. CHICAGO , Nov. 17. Orson Smith , presi dent of the Merchants' Loan and Trust company , says : "Our bank Is simply trustee for the bondholders , who are chiefly resldento of Scotland. The Arizona company is an ir rigation enterprise , and has been In business for many years. Lately it defaulted on In terest payment on the bonds , a failure due. no doubt , to unsatisfactory business , and hence the action of the bank as trustee. It is a friendly suit , and probably the com pany will be able to come out of It all right. " COXGHESS 01' SA1VAT10.AUMV. . l by the I > Mllciloii at u IVork- Ineiimii'H Hotel. BOSTON , Nov. 17.

SLOT MACHINES.

The slot machines must go. This ulti matum Is declared In an official communica tion addressed to the mayor and city coun cil by County Attorney Baldrlge yester day. The precise language of the document in not disclosed , County Attorney Baldrlgo says he deus not consider It proper to make any public statement until the communica tion has been considered by the officials to whom It 's addressed , and ; Mayor Moores says that inasmuch as it was sent to himself in conjunction with the city 'council , It would not be proper for him to reveal its contents until after It bad been presented to the couo- ell. . It Is well known , however that the letter convejs the Information that unless the city authorities take Immediatesteps to abolish tbe slot machines the county attorney will at once have warrants Isaued for the parties who arc owning or operating the devices and prosecute them under tl o state law. The county attorney calU the attention of the mayor and council to thesfact- that the ordi nance by which the macbinps are sought to be legalized is In direct aoufllct with tbe s'ate law ; that the machlaeslare gambling de vices in the contemplation ' of the statute and that It Is the duty oftbe proper author ities to see that the law ) s < enforced. The city officials have .expected some such action on the part of thecounty | attorney , but no one seems to have any'dtflnlto Idea what will bo done by the councjl. The position of Mayor Moores in oppof Itloa to the slot ma chines Is well known /and U Is conceded that any action that may bajtaken looking to their removal will receive OU approval , In the council there la a division of sentiment. One or two members are openly In favor of the machines and others-havo been opposed to repealing the ordinance ou account of the fact that this would require the city to re fund tho- license fees outt of the general fund. The Impression prevails that the coun. ell will simply do nothing , and allow the county attorney to take the matter up him self. It Is suggested that if this should be dene the operators of the machines would take them out of I'jeir own accord and the city would be under no obligation to refund tbo licensee.

The Investigation of the charges preferred by I. J. Dunn against the garbage contractor has been again postponed by the Advisory Board. This time the postponement was at the Instance of tbe complainant. Attorney Offut for tbe garbage contractor urged the point that the complaint was merely a re quest to the board to annul tbe contract which it had no right to do , and that consequently quently the board had no jurisdiction in the matter. The board decided , however , that It would bear the evidence and unless an other postponement should be agreed on the matter will be sifted next Wednesday. OIVES I'P AM. 01' HIS PROPERTY.

His relatives have come forward and raised J125.000 to cover any shortage that may be found to exist.
