Suburbanites Had Forgot ten Meeting Called to
 Hear Him
NOTHING DAUNTED
 HE GATHERS CROWD
Given Ovation After Ad- dress to Crowd he Had
 Gathered Together

R. c. ROhrabacker, secretary of the chamber of commerce of "that sleeply old town of Globe,' visited Miami last night to address the business men s association of that place.
 He had expected to be met by re- ception committee. He had been in- vted to attend the meeting, and more than that, an elaborate reception had been prepared-sO the Miami cores pondence said.
 What became of the reception, the re- ception committee and the joyous fes- tivities which were to mark the occa- sion, Mir. ROhrabacker does not know. He had not even located the committee when it came time to return to Globe. It is presumed. however. that Miami is so far ahead of "that sleeply old town of Globe,' that the reception was held several days ago.
 But in spite of the lack of attention which was shown bv the business men of Miami, who after sending Mr. Rohrabacker letter of invitation, af ter waiting upon him personally with an invitation and informing him per
 
 be given him, waited to be hunted uD by Mir. Rohrabacker before they even remembered that there was to be a meeting, MT. Rohrabacker gave them an address straight from the shoulder. It is safe bet that when he closed his remarks, the Miamians who were in attendance were few de"ress more wide awake than when he arrived apd started on his long and unsuccessful search for that reception committee.
 Secretary ROhrabaclIer arrived at Miami at 6 o'clock-schedule time. He had not expected any red fire CT brass bands and was not particularly sur Drised when there was no one on hand to welcome him. When he found that Mr. Roddan. chairman of the reception committee, had left for Los Angeles and that not a single representative business man in town was to be found anywhere. he bepan to sit uD and take notice-of how slow things were in the new burg.
 Finally he met voung Globe enoi- neer and entertained himself and the engineer for an hour. still there was no trace of the reception committee. Inst as he was preparing to leave for Globe. young man whom he did not know took it upon himself to save the town from the sOmnolence which was encircling it. and enough Miamians were enticed together to orm a meet | ing. There must have been at least dozen at the start.
 When the meeting was called to or der by II. D. Green, who oficiated in | the place of J. Roddan. the absent acting chairman, question arose as to whether the association should he organized before Mir. Rohrabacker ad- dress, or whether the talk should come | first.
 "Perhaps MT. Rohrabacker. who comes from that sleepy old town of Globe can give us some pointers,' said a voice from the rear of the hall. "Let's hear him first
 And Miami heard Mr Rohrabacker first. They heard him all the way through and when he had finished. the crowd which had slowly gathered un- til there were over hundred present, gave him an ovation such as had never been given a public speaker i" .,iami.
 Secretary Rohrabacker pointed out several things othe Miamians. He showed them the possibilities of busi- ness men s organization, its benefits to the town. to the business men, to the individual and the place it would take in the government of the town, prac- tically taking the place of the munich pal government of an incorporated city.
 He pointed out too the error of put ting at the head of such an organza- tion the resident with the most money and of organizing in such a way that the more money a man could afford to pay, the more votes he would be al lowed and the more power he would wield in the government of the body.
 He pointed out the benefits of better transportation and what would be gained if motor car service between Globe and Miami, such as the Globe chamber of commerce is now working for, was secured. Incidentally he put in a good word for a Glla county high school.
 When he had finished speaking, Chairman Green, on his own behalf and without calling for vote, adopted the bylaws. What they contained, no one seemed to know, for they were not read at the meeting.
 Mir. Rohrabacker excused himself at this juncture. What happened after wards remains to develop in later re- ports.
 What became of the reception com mittee and the reception which was to have been rendered to Mr. Rohraback- CT is still shrouded in mystery. This may also be explained in later reports.
 But the fact remains that it was the general consensus of opinion, when Mr. Rohrabacker remarks had sunk in, that "that sleepy old town of Globe" as it had been characterized by some Miamians, was possibly not quite as snugly esconced in the arms of Nor pheus as it had been depicted by the |" Mayor of Miami D
