Hustlers and Boosters

Next came the Hustlers and Boosters, the ThiJd avenue organizations of busi- ness men who installed the White Way marching in double line and including the heads and employees of practically all the firms composing the member ship of the organizations. An effective idea was the line of eight men abreast carrying letters on a cane that spelled "Hustlers." These men were w. $. Schenberger, c. Malone, I. k. Ruben stien, Fred Fredthelan, w. c. Mccoy, l.. l.. Doty M. k. Riley and Sam Fried man.
 The order of march was continued with the press automobile containing Frank P. Chaffee of the business mems league, Richard r. Johnston of the Birmingham Ledger, Lily W. Lykes of the Brming- ham Ase-Herald and W. c. Upchurch of the Birmingham News. The municipal machine was laden With Commissioner Lane and Exum and Commission Secre- tary Scudder Ryall. The next car car ried Robert ". Ewing, president of the Third avenue boosters; Richard w. Mas sey, president of the chamber of com merce, and John l.. Parker, president of the board of trade, Louis Arnstein driv- ing.
 This parade gave an opportunity to see the men who evolutionized Third avenue from the average city street into a Bir- mingham trading boulevard.
 The ceremonies were among the hap piest public events ever held in this city. The preparations were in the hands of the following committees: Boosters, T. c. Cairnes, Nj. l.. Semon, S. NJ Sutton and C. r. Rettick; Hustlers, Arthur Bar ton. c. R. Crull, John Antwine, Louis Gelders and c. H. Coley.
 The Hustkrs,s who have been organized for the past several years do not have any regular officers, but their White Way committee is composed of Coleman Blach, J. H. Holcomb and Bert Jacobs The officers of the Boosters, who were organized few months age, are Robert w. Ewing, president; M. l.. Semon, vice president; s. N. Sutton, secretary, and T. c. Cairnes. treasurer.

The three daily papers were visited and paid tribute to by a short band serenade. After going down First avenue to Twentieth street and again to Third avenue, the line disbanded at Nineteenth street.
 Despite the great mass of people the order was excellent and Chief Bodeker was deservedly praised by the Hustlers and Boosters for his management of his men.
 The new light system extends for three and a half blocks, was made of Birmingham pig iron by an Alabama foundry installed by a Birmingham company and paid for by Birmingham merchants and property owners.
 The preliminary parade assembled at the Bijou theatre yesterday noon and marched through the business section as public invitation to the opening celebration of the evening.
 With Nappi's band in the lead playing a gay air, the procession was headed by Marshal Louis Gelderssand Chief Bode- ker. riding horses. Following them was the special squad of officers from the police department, whose average height measures six feet, and who were lead by Sergeant R. H. Hawkins. The police marched in double column, and those in the line were: R. l.. Martin. w. S. Cole c. W. Pittman. P. IT. Doughtery, J. c. Cole, Thomas Chris tian, w. l.. Brown, w. A. Standifer, W. D.

 Everybody Happy

Tn the name of the Hustlers and Boost CTS of Third avenue l chrissen thee Bir- ninghams first Great White Way" ex- claimed Miss Lily w. Lykes last night, as she crashed a bottle of White Seal champagne against the iron sides of the post standing ol the southeast corner of Twentieth street and Third avenue and Birminghams White Way was a reality. Commissioner Culpepper Exum gave the signal for the first brilliant gleam, the beautiful posts shed forth light; from the throats of the thousands of people watching arose many cheers; Nappfs band rent the air with 'Dixie" and whistles of the district added their quota to the general rejoicing.
 There have been few occasions in this city when more citizens have gathered to celebrate a public event than came downtown last evening for the formal opening of the Great White Way. At o'clock nearly 10000 perhons had assem- bled on the avenue within the bounds of Twenty-first and Seventeenth streets. The crowd was so immense that traffic was blocked, street cars found difficulty in progressing and one of the strongest forces of patromen that have poiced an occasion of this kind was put on duty. The ovation accorded the Boosters and HustlerS for their Great White Way made the affair huge success, an epoch in the commercial history of the Magic City and promoted a spirit of progressiveness that would credit any metropolis.
 The first section of the parade formed at the city hall and included the spon- sor's automobile with the Hustlers White Way and arrangement committee, Mar CTS, the speakers of the evening and prominent business men of Third avenue. These cars entered Third avenue from Twenty first street with the band play ing and lined up before the post to be christened. Following the playing of Dixie" Commissioner EXum made a few remarks, but only those near him could hear him plainly, as the whistles began loud refrain that was taken up by the automobile horns nearby and drowned his voice.
 Many of the automobiles containing members of the two organizations and others fell into line as the leading car moved on to the next speaking point, Seventeenth street and Third avenue.
 The line of machines came to a halt at the Bijou theatre, where Richard w. Massey. president of the Chamber of Commerce. pronounced congratulations upon Brmingham's new civic attainment and complimented the two organizations upon the beauty of the system.
 Moving to Eighteenth street another stop was made and John L. Parker pres

POLLING PLACES IN
CITY OF PHOENIX
Only Imperfect Machinery for Securing
Early Returns.

Today is the day when all good
citizens who have their names on the
great register will want to express
their opinion concerning the constitu-
ton proposed for Arizona. The Phoe-
nix voters will find the usual accom-
modations in the four wards of the
city as follows:
First ward-Office ]. H. Kinney. So
East Adams street
Second ward-Board of Trade room.
Third ward-Office Justice c. w
tombstone, Is South First avenue
Fourth ward-City Hall.
The voting will probably begin
about o'clock. At any rate, that is
the hour announced for the saloons
TO close. and whatever the hour it is
seldom a voter gets to the polls before
that time. The polls will probably
close as usual at o'clock. There is
only one question to vote on, the
adoption or rejection of the constitu-
ton. A plain yes or no does the busi-
ness, so the count ought to be a rapid
one
But while the count will be a quick
one all over the territory. returns
from remote precincts and sparsely
settled districts will most likely be
slower in coming in than usual, and
they are always slow. The reason for
that prediction is that in this instance
there will be fewer people personally
concerned i'm securing early returns
There are no candidats for office any
where who are interested in going to
trouble az expense to secure returns
While every citizen is Interested. II
is only with the curiosity of the pri-
vate citizen. none being in duty bound
tn do the drudgery of collecting re-
turns. and there being no one con-
ce-ned IN paying for the service. The
only persons charged with RESPONSE
bility are the individual election boards
and they make their returns direct
to the office of the territorial secre-
tary instead of the county supervisors
the official canvass coming ten days
later.
For early reports of the result, de-
nendence will have to be placed solely
on the thoughtfulness of officers OF
the election board or thoughtful ny

,io,o nevv staff of officers last night.
M Drane, not previously member
Of tho company, was chosen captain
First Sergeant Joseph Schween' Iirst

elected unanimously, there being no
other candidates.

Company A.
SECOND Lieutenant a. ID. Leyhe re-
signed his place some time ago ana
after the election of Major Grinstead,
First Lieutenant sydney Stewart also
resigned. He did so to accept the OF
flee of battalion adjutant under Major
Grinstead.
Thus il was made necessary for the
company to elect new offlcers all
around. In their search for man cap
able of taking hold as captain. the boys
of Company A found Mr.. Drane, who Is
one of the proprietors of the Long
Hardware company. Mr. Drane is a
graduate of a military institute and for
a time commanded a national guard
company in Texas. The boys feel that
they have been very fortunate in in
ducing him to accept the command OF
their company. His election was by
reclamation.
First Sergeant Joseph Schween and
Sergeant Arthur Moritz had been MEM
beers of the company since its organiza-
ton and il was felt that no better lieu
tenants than they could be found Both
were elected with great deal of en-
thusiasm on the part of their comrades.
Prior to the election. Major Grim
stead was presented with a handsome
meerschaum pipe by the boys he had
commanded so long. He accepted this
token of their esteem with a graceful
little speech.
Immediately following the election
there was a sort of good fellowship
meeting. several members making short
talks The company then adjourned to
Donofrio's where the boys were the
guests of Lieutenant Moritz.
Company A lost one other good man
when Major Grinstead was elected.
Sergeant A c. Taylor has been select
ed BY him as sergeant major of the
third battalion.
Despite these losses the men of Com
pany A feel that the future of the or
ganization is certain to be even more
brilliant than its past has been. There
is general disposition to get busy
and. under the. new staff officers. work
harder than ever for the success and
glory of Company A.

CONTINUATION OF THE
Los ANGELES BUREAU
Board of Trade Directors in Favor of
Renewing Lease on Quarters
for Branch.

In all probability. the Los Angeles
bureau of the Phoenix board of trade
will he continued until the end of
June. at least
The directors of the board met
Tuesday afternoon and that fact that
the lease of the quarters occupied
by the bureau in the Chamber of

March was noted. 1t was decided to
have L. j. Rice, who is in charge
of the bureau, see what arrange
ments can be made to extend the
lease until July l.
Another matter passed up to Mr..
Rice was the proposition from the
Pacific Land and Products exposition,
to be held soon in Los Angeles. The
secretary was directed to write Mr.
Rice to investigate the matter fully
and make a report as soon as pos
sible. Until ne reports no action will
be taken on the proposition.
1t was decided that as soon as DR..
c. w Hubbard, manager of the south
western department of the Sunset
Magazine. arrives to gather data for
his forthcoming article on this sec
ton, the directors should meet to adj
wise with him.
AS the boards room is i'm constant
demand as a meeting place for vari-
Gus organizations. the secretary was
instructed to prepare table of
charges for the use of the quarters.
The charges will merely cover the
cost of lights and extra janitor serv-
ice that may be necessary.
