WILL VOTE AS CITIZENS
 NOT AS AN ORGANIZATION
Declaration by Phoenix Trades Council
 Last Night.

At the regular meeting of the Phoe nix Trades council last night resolu- tion was adopted intended as an off cial refutation of a statement made by member of a union at a recent public meeting that the union as a body would take a certain stand at the coming local option election.
 In this respect, the resolution is a restatement of the attitude of unionism to public questions, parties and matters which concern citizens generally.
 The resolution follows:
 Of the trades council that certain indi- viduals. claiming to be union men, have taken upon themselves the authority to proclaim that union men are in favor of certain movements and for certain political parties; therefore, be it
 Resolved, That the trades council has delegated no authority to any indi- vidual or individuals to act as spokes- man for it on any question:; and, further. that the unions represented in the trades council are not affiliated with any political party. nor are they interested in any question before the public other than as private citizens. The chief aim of all union men is bet ter wages, better conditions and a bet ter Phoenix

questioning of Marshal Moore the Smiths told their respective stories. These stories did not agree in any es- sential details.
 Despite the disparity in size of her. self and her husband. the wOmany per sisted in her statements that he had assaulted her with revolver and knocked her down with the butt She was unable to explain why she bore no marks of rough usage
 Smith, however. asserted that he did bear marks Of rough usage. He said he had scars all over his body. caused by his wife gently tossing, such do- nestle utensils as teapots. rolling pins. skillets and stove lids in his direction. He was a much abused man, and need ed police protection
 "Them's all lies he's tellin' you. = broke in Mrs. Smith. An ain't goin' to stand him no longah. Ah'm goin' to leave this minute"
 But you've lived with him eight years the marshal said, soothingly. Surely you can stand it a little longer. Think it over and if you cant agree. come down and see Judge Thomas"
 When the officer left the Smiths were both declaring their intention of call ing on the judge right away. but they have not appeared at the city hall.

NE|GHBORLY SMOKE
 OF FIRST WARDERS
They Pictured Victory in the Curling
 Rings.

The First ward republicans held a little smoker and rally in firemen's hall last night that started the lcaven of enthusiasm in a very satisfactory way. IL was not very large crowd to be sure, being just a neighborly gathering. but it was a good crowd and a lively and active little working organization is better than an army of dead ones. And this is only a starter. There will be another smoker next Tuesday night which all who were there last night will doubtless attend and as many more. So far as that is concerned 1t
 is hoped every republican in the ward will feel an interest in coming. and if he does the hall will not hold them for it is a populous ward, and it is set tied pretty strongly with republicans.
 Last nights meeting was presided over by C. J. McElroy, candidate for the city council Whatever else may be said about McElroy, he is a live wire and did not accept the nomina- ton for the purpose of getting his neck in moose. He makes no secret of the fact that he proposes to be elect ed. He made a heart to heart talk to the neighbOrs last night and went over the city situation in a way that made people think he not only calculates to be elected but proposes to do all that one councilman can do to make Phoe- nix what it ought to be after he is elected.
 J. H. Kinney, candidate for city treasurer, was also present and said things to the boys in that inimitable manner for which he is famous. Mir. Kinney is one of those natural born orators who can't talk at all unless he has something to say. but when he gets up he is listened to with interest, for it is known that the sign is right and what he has to say will be worth listen ing to. The fact that Mir Kinney served this city as marshal so long and satisfactorily ne had to get out to escape being crowned king is not bad record for a man who has been persuaded to get into the game again, and since he has been leading quiet life as a boosting real estate agent. he has lost none of his glory. nor his hold on the affections of the people At least that's what the party thought when it pushed him out in the open again. and the republican party IS pret- ty apt to be right in its judgment of such matters.
 Of course the whole ticket was giv- en its inning in the conference. and the First ward republicans propose to poll votes enough if they can to overcome any disaster in any other quarter. in- cluding the democratic land slide in congress. The talk was not all con fined to the first ward situation. for the First warders are broad minded They went over the whole ticket pret- ty carefully and the general conference indicated that all the news was good news.
 The main thing for those republicans who failed to come out last night and smoke up. to remember. is that there will be another gathering of the same sort next Tuesday night, and they are all expected to be there.

 It was this confused tumble "f words, coming over the telephone that took Marshal A. J. Moore to 406 East Van Buren street. the home of MT. and Mrs. B. Smith, yesterday afternoon. The marshal is something of a bicyclist and as the Smith home is only about five blocks from the city hall he expected to get there for a part of the fight at least
 Fleet as Moore and his rubber-ti steed are. MT. and Mrs. Smith were even more swift in patching up their domestic difficulties By the time that the marshal arrived at the scene Of hostilities there were no hostilities Smith was an invalid. barely able to sit up in bed. while his wife was a true and loving spouse.
 The marshal is willing to take oath that Mrs. smith is a woman of some size. When he saw her he immediate ly began to doubt that she had been hammered on the head and knocked down. according to her telephonic all legation She bore no marks of battle and it was evident that if her hus band had chastised her as she had said, he must be a modern Hercules.
 Hes in the house sick an you all can't come in," she said in answer to MOores anxious inquiry regarding the location of the seat of war and pres ent whereabout of the chief warrior.
 But Moore had not split the breeze for five blocks to be turned down like that. He went inside anyway and there saw a diminutive negro sitting up in bed. trying to look like the pale and wan heroine of Laura Jean Libbey fiction.
 Where's that gun you had?" de- manded the officer.

PREPARATIONS FOR A
 HIGH SCHOOL ANNUAL
"Phoenician' of This Year Will be an
 Artistic and Literary Triumph

There is to be another 'PhOenician'' this spring and it is going to be bigger and better in every way than last years edition Already the students of the high school are hav- ing their photographs taken. solicit ing advertising. seeking subscriptions and otherwise making preparations for the classiest annual ever issued by any Arizona school.
 The 'PhOenician" is the Phoenix high school annual It has only been issued once. wbich was last spring, and that edition was certainly a credit to the sch ooI. From a typographical. literar, and pictorial standpoint, it was a triumph
 high standard was set but it is going to be surpassed. declare the students The new PhOenician is tO be bigger, and better than the old. It will be S12 by II inches in size. printed upon high grade paper The printing firm which has taken the contract to print the annual says that it has undertaken the most difficult job ever accepted by a local prinuery. In fact the students had difficulty in persuading the firIn to accept the contract
 Individual photographs of the mem . bers of the junior and senior classes will appear. while there will be group photos of the other two classes. Sev- eral hundred dollars will he spent on half-tone cuts alone. It will cost about S4 copy to publish the Phoe- nician but the subscription price will be only $1. Unless they receive good advertising support the annuars back CTS will be pretty badly in the hole.
 Following is the Phoenician staff for this year:
 Editor -chief. Katherine Stilwen: business manager. William Robbins; circulation manager. Winfield Hart ranft; literary editor. Selma Goldberg; humorous editor. Lucy Tolleson: pro- phet, Vivian Young; historian. Dor othy Elder; alumni editor. Helen Hirst: athletic editor. Justus Goebel: society editor Gladys Toney: artist. Naomi Griffin

they were not members of the tribun- als which condemned the witches. Stephen brought three brothers with him to the new country-by name John. Daniel and Martin. If all three married the present Mir. Wing no doubt has a few forty second cousins in the country. But as time went on the country developed. and instead of carrying a Bible in one hand and a gun in the other, Mir. Howard Wing goes armed with a line of samples showing the latest thing in dress goods. and instead of taking wampum from the poor Indian" he negotiates for real money with the high class tailoring trade of the country. Personally there is little to be said about Mir Wing ex- cept that he is a worthy grandson of Stephen who goes out into the com mercial wilderness to conquer it and to prosper therein Mir. Wing was born in the city of Bourne, assachusetts. which was formerly part of the town of Sandwich. settled in 1637 by his grandparents. wno left Salem with fif- ty others about that time. In conse- quence of his descent he has studied New England history until things dark to others are plain to him. He knows all about it. and if he takes pride in thinking of the life Stephen led in the wilderness he is only displaying the identical weakness of millions of other men who love to contemplate their family. tree. MT. Wing stops at the Adams Annex. and he and Count Deu.
 bel are great friends, count also know
 ing what it is to be proud of family MT. Wing talks about Salem and the count talks about Berlin, and between them they have a great time of it.
 A merry motor party arrived at the Adams Annex yesterday from Tucson. There were two cars in the cavalcade, the first filled with celebrities. and the second with the same. only it ought to be noted that the fame of one individual was of a different order from the fame of the other. In the first place. placing wo- man first in honor as she is first in trouble. there were three young so- ciety women from Denver. Colorado. sisters of Mrs. John B. Wright. wife of the attorney general of the terri tory. By name they were Stella. Regina. and Marguerite McPhee. with out whom no soiree or fashionable rout is complete in Denver. The party had been put under way bv Mir. Wright who wished to show his sisters-in-law a jolly good time in Arizona, and he could think of no better way to do than by bringing them over the flower covered hills. J. G. Kerr. also of Denver. the mana ger and part owner of the Bowie marble quarries was also a member of the party. Let no one imagine that because Mir. Kerr is in the mar ble business that he is anything but fashionable club man. He knows the clubs of Denver and frequents them with the other men about town. taking dinner late. and supper later still. Mir Kerr is known as a good fellow, fand a fashionable fellow. and nobody was ever known to resist such combination. Mir. and Mrs Frank H. Hereford of Tucson were in the

 Tourists who come west over the transcontinental railroads look out over the deserts as they fly past the windows. and say: What a pity that nothing grows here If they could have heard Mir c. l. Leslie of the Case Thrashing Machine com pany of Fl Paso tell yesterday in the lobby of the Commercial hotel that there are only four selling districts in the United States in which more thrashing machines have been sold by his company than in Arizona, they would not have so much to say With all its deserts, Mir. Tourist, Ari Zona ranks fifth in thrashing ma chimes. and the number of thrashing machines sold in a state or territory is an indication of considerable inn portance when it comes to determin- ing it's prosperity. To be sure about four -fifths of the machines sold in the territory are sold in the Salt River valley. where more alfalfa seed is thrashed than in any other terri tory in the Union. This is only one more proof of the superiority of the Salt River valley to every other part of the territory.

He not only can't make it from the Hill brand which he sells himself. but he can't make it from any other brand. He can't boil the water correctly. Also at times he forgets to put in the tea. But he can sell it. Last night he sat in the lobby leaning luxuriously back in his chair and said. 'I sell vacuum packed coffee and tea. and I sell 1t because l keep rustling. There is big de- mand for our line in this country and the business keePs growing all the time =" He was about to say some thing more when he saw a friend passing and ran out to greet him. (?)
