The Road Race.
With characteristic energy the E!

will then become officially a niglit
control in a road race the first time
it has happened since The Republica.i
cup race first put the Arizona capi
tal on the auto racing map.
Some of the chaps who will be in
the Corona race, really big fellows in
the game, will also enter the road
race. But the bulk of the entries
will, of course, be the local drivers,
the desert rats. Hugh Miller, win
ner of the El Paso race, announced
only yesterday that he "would not tar-"

TELLING EXACTLY WHFT
RECORD MAY MACK BEAT
Going to the fire in Bill Horrell's
eight cylinder Ca-dill-ick with the ac
cent on the dill, is an exciting exper
ience especially when you pass Slim
Tadlock's mired fire truck on the road
side and plow through a million ex
cited spectators. Bill was demonstrat
ing the famous car, and showing the
R. A. R. what a nice boat it was. When
the bell rang, he turned and beat the
crowd of hurrying bikists to the scene
of Mr. Goldman's former hay barn.
Speaking of the car, reminds one that
Horrell is now highly occupied with a
new job. He is engaged in the pastime
of collecting crowds for the traffic cops
to disperse, and otherwise enacting the
role of the street doctor of the old flare
lamp days and the Indian make up and
the swamp root bitters. Wherever the
hood of the big green bus goes up, there
ensues a jam of folks, who want to see
what it looks like, and try to guess
whether it is running or not.
Early this morning, Horrell departs
for Globe in the eight cylinder, taking
with him Editor J. W. Spear of The
Republican, who is starting on a short
vacation.
Don Lee, the Pacific coast distribu
tor for the Cadillac would not believe
that Horrell had received one of the
1915 models until he viewed It with his
own eyes. In order to get the car here
for the fair, Horrell shipped it by ex
press to El Paso, transshipped by
freight to Douglas and drove it to
Phoenix.

Was Not a Matter for Con

In the big black book which the

sults on rare occasions for records
and things, there will be fcrund the
history of the world's trotting race

somewhat last week. "Resume-in;;"

the dopster, until all the interesting
little details that have been missed in
the rush, are covered.
May Mack's performance on the
Phoenix track was worth all the no
tice given it in The Republican and
other papers, although there be some
SvTibes here who stoutly maintain
that no world mark suffered very
much in that famous 2:07 irot. Here
are the facts:
Hamburg Belle in 1908 set a world's
Hotting record, three heats for a
mare in 2:05, 2:06 and 2:04. Total
(1:14.
On October 5, at Lexington, Ky., in
a race for the Walnut Hall cup, a
i:12 trot, Rhythmell trotted three
heats in 2:05, 2:05U and 2:01V;.
Total 6:1514.
. On November 13, at Phoenix, Mcy
Mack trotted three heats in the 2:07
trot in 2: 05 !4. 2: 04 and 2:05. Total
6:14..
This matter of half seconds does
not count so very much, but it
changes the line in every record

zona," instead of some other place.
HI VICE TO
BE TOPIC OF
STIRRiHG TALK
Prof. Carlton H. Parker to
Deliver Annual Address
at Federated Brotherhood
Meeting Tonight on "So
cial Ethics, Modern Life"
Professor Carlton H. Parker, one of
the special agents for the department
of labor of the United States, who is
now studying conditions in this sec
tion, has accepted the invitation :.i
address the annual meeting of the
Federated Brotherhoods of the
Churches of Phoenix at the Y. M. C
A. tonight upon the question, "So
cial Ethics and the Modern Life." Li
this address Dr. Parker, who has
made a study of the problem bot'i
n this country and in Europe, wlil
deal with the "segregated vice dis
trict," and pay his respects ' to a
petition that has been variously sign
ed of late in this city under the
caption of "Clean I'p Phoenix."
The petition in question has been
circulated among a number of the
leading people of Phoenix, and num
bers of women have signed it under
the impression that it was a cam
paign for a cleaner Phoenix from the
standpoint of cleaner streets, alleys,
lots, back yards and waste places, as
well as a part of a campaign to drive
certain undesirable citizens out of the
city. It is stated on good authority
that it turns out to be nothing more
than a petition asking for the estab
lishment of a "red light district" in
Phoenix. .
Dr. Wilkinson, president of the fed
erated brotherhoods, and one of th?
leading physicians and uplift workers
in Phoenix, was very emphatic last
evening in his denunciation of the at
tempt on the part of some well
meaning but probably misguided per
sons, and when he found the sub
ject of Dr. Carlton's address issued
an invitation broadcast to men and
women to attend the meeting of the
brotherhood federation. The nd
address will probahly start at 8:i'0
o'clock.
Prior to the address there will be
held the annual dinner of the
brotherhood, at which a turkey din
ner will be served fur 50 cents. To
this all the churchmen of the city
are. invited. A large number are ex
pected to avail themselves of the
dinner privilege, with still larger
numbers in attendance at the lecture.

INCENDIARY VISITS WRATH
(Continued From Page One)
A PROCLAMATION OF THANKSGIVING
Executive Department
State of Arizona
In these troublous times, when the countries of
Europe are being devastated by rival armies; when for
eign homes and firesides are being made desolate by
visitations of death; . when, in brief, the strifes of human
kind are impeding the wheels of industry and threatening
that ideal civilization to the attainment of which uni
versal peace is deemed essential, the people of the
United States, with amity indwelling, are by Divine dis
pensation permitted to pursue in quietude the multiple
r.ctivities of everyday life whereby the sustenance, of
Home and Church and State is afforded security and
permanence. Arizona, as an integral part of our Nation,
being likewise under the guardianship of - that Divine
Providence which bestows all rewards and blessings upon
mankind, continues to garner the fruits of industry re
sultant from the development of her wondrous resources,
while the future of the state is bright with promise and
her people are animated by a spirit of hopefulness that
is futurity's best augury.
NOW, THEREFORE, I, Geo. W. P. Hunt, Governor
of Arizona, acting in observance of a revered national
custom, in pursuance of law, and in accordance with the
proclamation of our honored President, Woodrow Wilson,
do hereby proclaim that THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 2fith,
1914, shall be set aside as a Day of Thanksgiving, on
which, with appropriate ceremonies and festivities, all
citizens may, at altar and at fireside, manifest unto the
omnipotent Creator their gratitude for blessings divinely
conferred, and may, by generous exercise of kindness to
ward the needy and infirm, show themselves imbued with
that universal and all-pervasive love that tempers the
hastening of circumstances and ameliorates the sting of
human woes.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my
hand and caused the great seal of the State of Arizona
to be affixed. . . . '
Done at the City of Phoenix, the Capital, this six
teenth day of November, 1914.
Attest: GEO. W. P. HUNT,

Secretary of State. '
yards to the west.
This time it was a small shack
standing between the shop tracKS
and the stock yards. An alarm was
hurried in, and for the second time
in the evening, the monster fire
trucks sputtered their way to the
warehouse district. I When the flames
were subdued, the house was a total
wreck, but the big stock pens had
been saved.
AH this time the skies about were
being filled with heavy white' smoke
from the burning Goldman building,
and the glare of the few remaining
flames and of the red hot sheet iron
roofing were making that end of
town an humble imitation of the
Inferno. Crowds that had gathered
to see the huge blaze of the
warehouse were apparently too sur
feiteed with excitement to attend the
much less thrilling fire in the watch
man's shanty by the cattle pens, so
that last feat of the fire fiend was
hardly a dramatic success.
The theory has been advanced that
the fires are the work of a person
with a throbbing grouch against the
Arizona Eastern. Every fire has
beeen either in an Arizona Eastern
goods car or in a warehouse located
within that small area bounded by
the tracks, Jackson, Ninth and
Twelfth streets.
One hint went the rounds that the
incendiary Was a crazy man' from
Ray or Hayden. Another had him a
discharged employe. Still another
theory placed the blame on some
maniacal pervert who loved to see
things go up In smoke, and to watch
people come clattering around to
watch what he had done, while he,
himself, possibly mingled with the
audience and enjoyed their bewilder
ed speculation. '
Certainly there was no doubt as to
the malicious origin of the fires. In
five cases out of the seven, the traces
of the means used in starting the
fires were found In all cases, bundles
of oiled waste, carefully placed where
they would do the most harm.
The Arizona Eastern yards were
guarded last night by a hundred sil
ent men, who sheltered electric
torches under their coats, what few
times they used them, and who
strained their eyes In the darkness
for a sight of the skulking figure
that would be the cause of all this
trouble.
Word was received here yesterday of
the marriage of Miss Amelia Cosach to
Bertram Smith which took place in Los
Angeles, Saturday evening.
Owing to the prominence and popu
larity of the young folk the news will
be read with more than ordinary inter
est. The bride is a charming young
girl and a favorite in Bisbee and Los
Angeles where she recently visited
relatives.
Mr. Smith is the son of Mrs. J. Y. T.
Smith and well known in Phoenix
where the family made their home for
more than a quarter of a century. He
attended Pomona College and later took
a mining course at the University of
Arizona. For several years he followed
his profession as mining engineer, hav
ing been located at Silver Bell for
many years. Later he moved to Bisbee
to act as manager of the Buxton
Smith Produce company which position
he now occupies.
He is a frequent visitor in Phoenix
and always a welcome one.
Mr. and Mrs. Smith are at present
in San Francisco and will be at home
in Bisbee after December 1.

is the belief of water users' officials,

of the long delayed coming of the le
gal head of the service.
Judge King is coming from El

building. While he did not definitely
state just what sort of building he ex
pected to erect, he intimated that it
would probably be six stories in
height, absolutely fireproof and mod
ern in every respect. He further stat
ed he believed he could arrange for the
construction to be carried on in such
a manner that the present leaseholders
we;uld be enabled to open again for
business in less than ninety days.
Leon R. Gass, proprietor of the Gass
Bros, chop House, transferred his loca
tion between meals from the burned
structure to the Golden Rule Chop
House on West Adams street. The
Golden Rule will hereafter he kept
open night and day to take care of its
own customers and those of the burned
chop house.
George N. MacBean, of the Busy
Drug Store, announced last evening
that arrangements had been made!
with the Adams Pharmacy to take care
of its prescription business, and
Charles Urban, who had charge . of the
photographic department at the Busy
Drug Store, will also be found at the
Adams Pharmacy pending the recon
struction of the former eiuarters. The
same telephones will be installed at the
Adams Pharmacy as were in use at the
Busy Drug Store so that there will be
little confusion in the handling of the
Busy's regular trade. i
It lacked but throe weeks of nine
years since the Gass Bros. Chop House
was opened in Phoenix. On Washing
ton's birthday, the newer and most
modern establishment was re-opened
and at onc took first rank among the
eating houses of the southwest. The
establishment to be reconstructed will
be on a par with that destroyed. It
would be better if that were possible,
but it was generally conceded that the
last word in chop house fixtures and
arrangements was said when the doors
of the establishment were thrown open
last February. A new lease was exe
cuted yesterday to continue for five
years. The newer establishment will
have far more space than previously
and will be as complete as money can
make it.
C. D. Barnett, one of the heaviest
losers by yesterday's fire stated last
evening that he was convinced that the
fire originated from a defective flue on
the west side of his establishment. He
had called the attention of the owner
of the building to the condition of the
flue some time previously and had
urged that it be repaired.
Fire Chief Sullivan stated that the
report that the fire was the work of an
incendiary, seemed to him absolutely
untrue and that he shared the same
opinion with Mr. Barnett that a defec
tive flue was responsible for the worst
fire Phoenix has had since the destruc
tion of the Hotel Adams.
