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

Hurna would not salute unless there
was a gun-for-gun reply.

will continue right through the dates on
which the show have been set, the Y.

or to the name of their great state.
News From Front
The latest news from the front will
be one of the many features of the
Arizona Day banquet wireless and tele
graph bulletins will be received every
few minutes.
There will be tables for special par
ties and groups of friends will get to
gether to celebrate Arizona's advent of
fifty years ago. -:
Efforts to have the next battleship
named "Arizona" are being made, it is
hoped by Friday at the banquet the
announcement can he made officially.
The decorations will be more elaborate
than ever. A large corps of ladies will
he at work Friday all afternoon getting
the decorations in shape. Thousands
of roses will be used and some delight
ful surprises are promised.
A great number of the workers are
getting plans for gathering these flouv
ers in time for the occasion. Telegrams
are coming as well as letters telling of
the Arizonans who are to attend. There
will be representatives from every sec
tion of the state and every qffieial part
of the state's government will be pres
ent in the person of some official.
Every political party will see that its
leaders are on hand, to keep in touch.
The stories of what was fifty years ago
leading up to today, will be heard and
also there will he brought out what is
wanted for the future.
Tt is not every citizen that is privil
eged to join in a celebration of this
sort. Few citizens indeed can join in
more than one, and once in fifty years
should not be overlooked bv any Ari-
zanian.
The ticket committee is busy. Clubs
are planning to attend in large bodies.
The toast to Arizona at 12 noon on
Friday should be joined in by everyone,
drink it in whatever you will but let it
be to Arizona and then three cheers.
( ne nian on Wednesday stated he
had come l00 miles to join in that toast
to 'Dear old Arizona" ami would not
miss it and the Arizona Hay Banquet
for worlds.
The corporation commission yes
terday had the old matter of the lo
comotive headlight up for investiga
tion again, and representatives o
he railroads and labor organizations
were present before the commission
giving testimony relative to the 1500
candle power headlight that was
prescribed by he legislature in th,
law recently declared unconstitutional
by the supreme court.
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.
