 lt was voted unanimously that Pres ident Ewing should be one of the com mttee on invitations and arrangements. The other members appointed by Pres ident Ewing were Hoval A. smith, ]. D. Coplen, E. NJ. Hurd and F. D. smith. The committee in a short meeting after the session of the chamber of commerce elected Mir. Ewing as its chairman.
 The plan to he proposed to the pres ident as outlined last night suggests that instead of first stopping at Phoe- nix and then continuing on to Pres cott and the Grand Canyon, the pres- dent shall come over the Santa Fe to the Grand Canyon, thence to Prescott and Phoenix, and from there through Roosevelt to Globe by automobiles fur nished by the city of Globe.
