BOARD0S SAFETY
Administered Oath of Office By
 City Clerk Sandland.

! Mayor Thoms's board of safety held meeting last evening in his office in the City hall It opened at o'clock and adjourned about an hour later. Mayor Thoms presided and all the members were present. They were ad- ministered the oath of office by Clerk Sandland. Copies of the minutes of the last meeting of Mayor Elton's board were handed around and they were approved. because. as Comms- sioner Minor remarked, they could hardly do anything else with them. Hitherto it has been the custom of the board of safety to vote for gold badges for the members in case they would desire to be known, at fire for instance, they could be identified by the badge. This was the only com- pensation the members allowed them- selves. But it seems to be the senti- ment of this board to eschew gold badges
 Getting down to the little business that was to be disposed of. Chief Snagg announced that he would like to have the work of putting rubber tires on the big steamer at the Burton street engine house begin immediately and he wished for a committee from the board to help him out. A commit- tee was immediately named. consist. ing of Commissioners Minor and An. drews. This committee will be known as the committee on wheels.
 An application from Edward q. Shea to be appointed on the call fire force was filed.
 op t @ha presence of the chief of the fire and the police departments will be dis pensed with hereafter at meetings of the board. and it was voted to meet the first and third Wednesday after moons at o'clock.
 The bunch of inevitable bills was then introduced. and as they were all endorsed by Comptroller Russell they were approved. excepting two that did not bear his signature.
 Commissioner Spain was appointed secretary of the board of trustees of the police pension fund. The other members of the board are the city treasurer. who is treasurer of the fund. and the mayor. who Is chairman of the board The law provides that an annual report on the condition of the fund shall be prepared by the treasurer.
 A recess was then taken and tine board inspected the workings of the police signal telegraph. the fire alarm system. the police station and the Leavenworth street engine house. This is always the initiatory step with new boards of safety. Returning to the mayors office the members sat around the table and discussed things in gen. eral. got acquainted with each other and told a few stories.

Germany Prepares For War.


 BERLIN. Jan. 4.-The railway admin, istration placed orders last week for 20. 0O0 freight cars, at cost of $50.000O GOO with manufacturers of five countries stipulating delivery by the middle of February. besides utilizing the car works of Germany. These contracts were distributed among makers in Bel. gium. Holland. Switzerland and Italy. which would not have been done unless some reasons for haste existed. In. quirics made regarding the reasons foi urgency resulted in obtaining the state ment that the ordering of the cars was a precautionary measure. the genera! staff desiring to be ready to move troops, if necessary. by the 1st oi March. This is only a proper measure of prudence. it is affirmed. in view of the extensive military rearrsngements going on in France. which. among other dispositions. include the movement to ward the German frontier of six regi- ments of artillery. or 1s0 guns.

 -On account of the storm this morn- ing there was no school and Brooklyn was alive with children who would be only too glad that such a storm would come around often.
 A horse owned by Hook. the baker, fell at the corner of South Leonard and Bank streets last evening about 5:30. The horse slipped on the ice and fell over on the car tracks. After about fifteen minutes work the animal was placed on its feet, being uninjured by the fall.
 Part of the sidewalk near the open lot on Bank street needs attention bad ly. The place where wagons have been accustomed to drive over into tie lot is in a wretched condition and after rain storm pedestrians would want boat to get by The walk is much lower than the curb at this point and although the section which is in need of repair is only few yards. still it is very disagreeable for persons who have to foot it from Brooklyn to the center.

RECTAL TONIGHT
 Al TIE D0RR!S
Appearance Of Hrs. Cooley and {
 Talented Company.

This is the night of the recital to be given by Mrs. Mae French Cooley at the Doris theater for the benefit of the building fund Of the Baptist cnurch. Mrs. Cooley will be assiste1 l by Mrs. w. N. Tiffany, Miss Mason, and Miss Grace Hilgen. The fame of these ladies, who have frequently ap- peared before Phoenix audiences, is in itself sufficient to guarantee the ex- cellence of this evenings performance. Their work will be supplemented by the Indian school orchestra.
 The program, which was printed in the Republican last Sunday, is not a very long one, but the greatest care was employed in making it up. It was designed to te the most pleasing that could be devised, and it has since had the closest attention. So there is no doubt that those who attend the Dor ris tonight will be most pleasantly en- ter a'ned.
 The recital was to have been given a week ago tonight but it became nee essary on account of the threatening g weather to postpone it. A great many tickets had already been soc and since then the sale has been very flat teIing.

A MOHAVf LOWEST
 CORRFCTS SUPERVISORS
He Tells What He Has Heard the Sentiment is in this County.

The board of supervisors has had q communication from O. D. NJ. Gaddis, of Kingman. It was called out by. the resolution recently teIegrapned to Senator FOraker by the board protest ing against joint statehood and stat ing that the sentiment against it was stronger in this territory than ever.
 MT. Caddis thinks that the board is 1n error. He says the sentiment in his part of the territory is spreading in the other direction and he has req son to believe that the same ching is happening here. for he says -le had q talk with a Phoenix business man, whose name he vithholds, who told him that the people in this part of the territory were falling over each other and themselves to get in line with the jointists.
 MT. Gaddis says he believes that the only real opposition is that which comes from certain interests and from democrats and he hints that the dem ocratic board of supervisors of this county were misrepresenting the real sentiment of the people in that tele- graphic protest. He did not know that the telegram was sent on the sole au- thority of the only republican member of the board-AIr. C. $. Stew ard-his democratic colleague being out of town when the matter was presented at the office of the board. On their return. though, they heartily endorsed his action.

meeting on Friday, will be put in cir culation today.
 The commission was not unanimous in the selecion of Mr. Potter, and it has been stated by members of that body that two or three of them are still dissatisfied with the choice Two of the members favored Mr. Potter from the beginning, and it is charged that two others supported him under Q misapprehension.
 There are two grounds of objection to the choice. The first is that MT. Potter is a stranger and was known to nobody here until he arrived in the city. He brought good recommends tions, but it is urged that against his credentials is the well-knoWn ability of some of the local candidates for the position Of engineer. I, is thought that the board ought to nave taken this into consideration.
 Among the advantages pointed out of employing local men is this. that money would be kept and spent in Phoenix where there is never at any time too much money.
 Others who are opposing the con trac- with MT. Potter mention the fact that this town aas never profited a great deal from the special importa- ticn of talent. and the case of Profess sor McDonnold. who was brought here four or five years ago to superintend the schools. has been cited as most infuse foreign blood into local affairs.

EUROPEAN HOTELS TO COPY
 AMERICANS.

New York, Feb. 19-Hotel manage ment in Europe has been Americanized to a large extent by travellers from the United States. The next step will be the building of hotels on American models from the ground up.
 A party of important European hotel proprietors gre now in this country on a tour of investigation. Two of these proprietors are about to put up new hotels in Paris and will embody the latest American Ideas. Washington. Buffalo, Philadelphia, and Boston as well as New York will be studied by the investigators.
 The visitors made a careful eXamina- aiOn of the steel-frame and hollow-tile skyscraper hotels Of New York, as be- ing the most perfect form of fireproof construction ever conceived They had never seen buildings of this type before, and the new Astor and Belmont hotels and dozen or more skyscraper apart ments on tha upper west side were a revelation to them. Herr Aulich. of Carlsbad and Herr Ceissler of Paris and Trouville. said they had no doubt of the fireproof skyscrapeT hotel be- coming common in Europe, although it might not reach such heights there as it does here. Both gentlemen freely admitted that hotel construction abroad so far as safety from fire is concern ed, is far behind the United States.
