However, there are persons in Phoenix who hold that there are some things of much more importance. One of these things is a minstrel show. The show which the Y. M. C. A. minstrel troupe plans to give on May 11 and 12 was arranged before the Y. M. C A. officials were notified that Hurna would not salute unless there was a gun-for-gun reply.

A. minstrel men have sent the following telegram to President Wilson that is, they have written the tele gram and may send it: April 22, 1914.- "President Wilson, "White House, Washington, TJ. C.

M. J. Clancy, representing the Southern Pacific sysem, Leroy An derson, representing the United Verde and Niel E. Bailey of the United Verde railway, while the en gineers, firemen and trainmen were all represented. It has been the contention of the railroads that the headlight prescrib ed in the law, showing a light of 1300 candle power strength is en tirely too strong, while it was eon eeeded a the time the law was passed that it carried the approval of the organizations of railway workers. The commission got no farther than the taking of testimony. This will later be transcribed and after having been studied by the commis sion an order in he matter will be issued.

MARIE GREEN SHOT THRICE BUT ISN'T MUCH HURT Well Known Colored Woman Attack ed By Man Who Escapes Marie Green, a well known colored woman, who has been under arrest untold numbers of times, had the closest call of her life last nitrhr when a colored man, supposed to be Charles Henderson, attacked her et her home oi Madison and First Streets and shot her three times.' None of the bullets caused danger ous wounds and the woman was given lodgin" at the police station after she had received attention .from Dr. II. K. Beauchamp. Earlier in the day a man supposed to have been Henderson, called at j the woman's house and demanded ad mittance. He was repulsed and went away vowing he would return. About nine o'clock while she was seated in her rooms four shots were fired through an open window, three of which took effect. One passed through her right thigh, another through her right hand and the third cut a deep scalp wound. About the time of the shooting a colored barber rushed into, the police Interesting Discussions Before Large Membership of Organization The meeting of the Merchants & Manufacturers' association last even ing at the Board of Trade was one of great interest and value. P. T. Slay back, member of the executive commit tee of the association, presided. H D. Marshall. Jr., talked in a most interesting manner on the quite general practice of issuance of checks without funds in bank equal to the amount of the check. Ke cited the three causes usually apparent leading to the carry ing out of the practice, and explained the efforts of the bank to eliminate it. He urged the merchants to be more careful in their acceptance of checks, and to spread the news of co-operation to their .fellow merchants in backing up the efforts of the bank and the Mer chants & Manufacturers' association in putting a stop to this condition of af fairs so far as possible at this time and in securing proper legislation at the next session of the legislature. F. B. Eynian dealt with the legal side of the proposition. He told of the dif ficulty under the present law in secur ing conviction of offenders, and offered many valuable suggestions as to the form of legislation required to fully sover the situation. He noted the good tha,t the association was doung in their activities along this line, not only from a standpoint of proposed legislation but in giving encouragement to the officials in their efforts at conviction of the cases which come before them. He urged that when prosecution had once been started it be not dropped or com promised but pushed to final conclu sion. : Chas. A. Stauffer explained the ef forts' of newspapers throughout the country toward advertising based only npo; truthful and correct facts and statements, citing the demands in all lines of business for a higher and bet ter principles of operation. He gave many interesting suggestions to the members for their preparation of their advertising copy, naming truth, sim plicity and news as the most produc tive of results. W. 1,. Pinney urged the spirit of co operation upon all matters looking to ward the improvement of the city and valley. As chairman of the member ship committee he reported the recent increase in membership by accepting ftlendale merchants as members of the Merchants & Manufacturers' associa tion of Phoenix, and asked that all members make an effort toward the securing of additional members in Phoenix. Prof. McOmie of the University of Arizona appeared before the meeting in the interest of agricultural clubs among the younger generation of farmers. He explained the plans of the school for the encouragement of better farming and asked the co-operation of the mer chants in bringing about those results. This matter was referred to the board of governors for consideration. station and aid that another colored mark had stolen his thirty-eight cali ber revolver and bad rushed away armed with the w.eapon. His de scription answered that of Henderson. The police were unable to locate Henderson despite careful search. First steps were taken at the meeting of the city commission last evening for the installaion of a mun icipal garbage incinerator, the es tablishment of public toilets and drinking fountains, the extension of the scope of the free employment bureau and the equipping of the fire department with modern and ade quate apparatus as well as the ex tension of the present fire alarm system and the remodelling of the central fire station at First and Jef ferson streets. An ordinance was adopted making it a misdemeanor to allow rubbish to accumulate upon city lots, vacant or improved, giving the manager authority to clean up neglected city property and assess the costs against the property, the same to become a lien until paid. It was not a long meeting but the expedition with which the business in hand was carried out, permitted a comparatively eaiiy adjournment notwithstanding there was a host of business. Because of the failure of some of those whose presence was necessary to the conduct of . business, to be on hand at 8 o'clock, thereby holding up convening until a half hour later, Mayor Young took occa sion to urge prompt attendance at meetings of the commission. He said that the tardiness of one or two worked hardships upon the others, and that as for himself his time was too valuable to be asked to spend it sitting round, tiie city hall waiting for others. He even threatened in the future to wait not longer than fifteen minutes after tha hour set for convening, after which he would absent himself. He said that this applied to officers of the commission as well as to the commissioners themselves. The most profound sensation came with the reading of a proposed reso lution making it a rule that any city employe drinking intoxicating liquors at any time during business hours or while engaged in the performance of any service to the city, shall be sub ject to dismissal and calling upon the city manager to take all neces sary steps to enforce the rule laid down. This resolution was adopted without argument. Manager Kartell presented a report covering manv important branches of the city affairs and appended thereto a recommendation for the purchase of adequate fire apparatus to be located in the new buildings now in the course of construction at Five Points and the water works property, as well as in the central building. This recommendation also provided for the remodelling of the central station, the installation of new apparatus and the extension of the fire alarm system. Approximate ly these recommendations if carried out would cost the city $50,000. Incidentally, Manager Farish an nounced the appointment of Joseph P. Kehoe as city sealer of weights and measures, and George S. Foster as city engineer. He also announced that citizens owning suitable teams are. being giv er preference in the street work, a policy which he intends to follow out in all the departments. The Piper popcorn wagon contro versy was again brought up and after more discussion was held over until the next meeting. Woods and Corpstein were named to investigate the request of the Ari zona Eastern for. a. spur privilege across Sixth and Seventh avenues, An ordinance authorizing the of fering for sale of the interest of the city in the West Knd - school block for a sum not less than $10,000 was adopted. The present library board, con sisting of If. C. Yaeger, J. W. Cren shaw, A. K. Stabler. Andrew Down ing and Simon Oberfehler. was re appointed Commissioners Cope and Folev and the manager were named to inves tigate the feasible locations for pub lic drinking fountains, and Commis- j sioners Corpstein and Woods were named to investigate the construction of additional city toilets. The entire commission, together with the man ager, the health officer and C. H. Corrigan were named to investigate the possible installation of a garbage incinerator. H. Fleruy presented a petition from the unemployed asking that the pub ic employment bureau be removed to a more desirable location than the city hall building,- that steps be tak en to abolish other employment agen cies and that Manager Wolf of the city employment bureau be placed in charge of a municipal employment department and given an assistant and means of advertising his depart ment. A . protest against the division of the public land office will be made to Congressman Hayden under the terms of a resolution adopted, declar ing it would not be good business to interfere with the Phoenix office which is efficiently and economically conducted. Committee meetings are called for rriday and Saturday afternoons and the commission adjourned to next Tuesday evening. o "TWENTY-FIVE" WHILE THEY LAST Arizona Motor Co.
