Mass Meeting Last Night
 Results in Many EXpres- sions of Satisfaction at Proposition = Election of Officers at Next Meeting

The retail clerks of Phoenix met in massmeeting last evening in the upper room of the City Hall and without any trouble proceeded to the
 organization of a Mutual Benefit as
 sociation, the object of which is to pay sick and death benefits to the members of the organization in the case the same are needed.
 The meeting was called to order and presided over by President
 Franklin, of the executive committee Of the clerks, who stated the object Cf the meeting and announced the fact that the executive committee has for the last three weeks or so been working hard upon d prOpOsi- tion of organizing a mutual benefit association. In doing this the com mittee had taken upon itself the task of formulating a constitution and py-laws for the government ot the organization. The meeting he hoped would consider the action of the executive committee favorabIy
 The action was faVorably consid- cred. Questions were asked concern ing the proposed basic laws for the Froposed organization, and 1t was drawn out that many of the em- ployers were ready to assist in the organization, if necessary. with fin ances, and that they had endorsed the scheme. All this was very pleas ant, and had the desired effect of having the meeting accept the work of the committee.
 The next proposition to proceed with was that of members signing up. A large number of those present, in fact good heavy list signed up many of whom are among the most prominent salesladies of the city
 The lateness of the hour precluded the possibility of the election of of ficers so upon motion the meeting ad- | jOurned for two weeks at which time

Local Junior Team Will Try Con clusons With TabIelanders
 This Afternoon.

Manager Castle of the Maroons announced last night that he had made all arrangements for game between his team and the Mesa team a the Gem City this afternoon. Cas- tie says he hasn't any doubt but that his team can take the measure of the Gem Cityans. He points out the fact that Smiley, who will pitch, and Resolves. the catcher. were the back bone of the Mesa team on the Oc- casion of Sundays game, both men are good hitters and make a good battery.
 Castle himself will not play in the game this afternoon but will manage and coach the team from the bench and be there to take hand in any fussing against the umpire's deci siCns He says the team is in fine shape to put up T good battle They expect to return either covered with gore or glory.
 Mesa however says they have something to say about that. Good win and Campbell. the two pitchers of the team are going exceptionally good just now Goodwin having inn proved during the last week, he was not acclimated on Sunday and the eat got i'm, but Quickenstead is un- derstood to be authority for the statement that Mesa also is going better.

TASK TURNED OVER
 10 THE M. s M.
Meeting of Business Men Last Night
 Consider Strike Situation.

A meeting of business men called by Mayor Christy was held at the city hall last night for the purpose of con sidering means of ending the street railway strike The meeting was called before the mayor had been apprised of the meeting ordered by the executive committee of the Merchants and Manu- lecturers Association tonight to con- slider the strike along with other pub lie matters
 In calling the meeting to order the mayor said that most of his time since his return to the city as well as that of Acting Mayor Cisney for week before. had been spent in trying to get the parties to the strike together. but so far he had not succeeded. He had long talk with Superintendent Mitchell of the street ear company the night be- fore and MT. Mitchell seemed to be in Clined to a settlement of most of the matters involved in dispute, with the exception of the request for a recOgni- tiOn of the recently organized union. It has been explained that the recog- milton requested, did not go to the eX- tent of unionizing the system, but it was only desired that the grievances of the employees might be presented through committee representing the carmen. In that case it seemed that the differences between the parties were susceptible of adjustment.
 After remarks by Charles Korrick. Dave Goldberg, Charles A. Stauffer, w. s Humbert, and others, it was decided, that inasmuch as the NJ and M. assO- citation had already taken the initiative in the matter and since that Organiza- tion included practically all the busi ness men and manufact curing interests in the city, it was the proper body to go forward with the movement A com mittee composed of MT. Humbert, who is q member of the executive committee of the association and Messrs. Gold berg and Korrick, was appointed to request the association to use it's good offices in bringing about the end of the strike
 Several representatives of the car men were present but as the merits of the controversy were not entered into they took no part in the discus sion.

 FORD DELIVERY CAR
It's Handsome Yellow Coat Gives Rise to Story Barney Oldfieid
 Is In Town

There is no truth in the rumOr that Barney Oldfield is in Phoenix. Of course the BasWitz Cigar com pany in placing it's handsome new Ford delivery automobile in commis sion on the business streets had no idea that because the new buzz wagon is painted vivid golden vel low it might be mistaken for the famous yellow racing car of the auto speed king But that's what actual iy happened.
 The new car arrived here all O. K as do all Fords ordered through Edward Rudolph, local agent and it went into commission almost imme- diately. It was one of the regular roadster type, with the passenger equipment removed and delivery body substituted. Incidentally a hand some top was placed over the entire body, while attractive gold lettering was added to the sides so that the public might know that it was the official outfit of one of the leading cigar establishments in the south west.
 The Baswitz delivery car is one of the first of it's kind to be seen in the southwest and it will long stand d. mark of the progressive spirit of the concern which brought it to Phoenix. It is equipped with a de

The three-cent fare bill. known also session of the legislature over many strenuous objections, has been re- ferred The petitions in the case were filed with the secretary of state yes terday totaling 34O6, nearly three times as many as are needed. The whole number of the signatures could have been obtained in Maricopa county, if those having the matter ln charge had not cared to go else Where.
 This is the bill which was passed in order to make the railroads com Fly with the similar statute passed at the former sessions. which was withheld from opera ton because of an injunction suit pending against the state in the federal courts. Many of the lawmakers believed that the rail roads would not have the temerity to refer the bill again after the over Whelming vote in favor of it at the last election, but the lawmakers counted without their books.
 The list of the counties represent ed in the petitions signers and the number from each county is as fol- lows:

He said little to the officer accompany ing him and beyond instructing his wife to pack a grip for him at the ranch had little to say to anybody after he had been taken in custody
 When the ranch was reached Fletcher stated that while he was in Los Angeles he thought it would be well to look after some business mat chase of some pipe he needed in his pumping projects. He called for cal lipers to measure a pipe some six or eight feet down an uncompleted w ell He disappeared over the side of the well and after a few minutes wait without his reappearance. the officer looked down the well and found his man missing. Search revealed his dead body eighty feet below.
 There were stories about town yes which Fletcher, whose alias, according to the letter from the Los Angeles con- stable. was Williams, had been con- nected. One was that he had issued a bill of sale to J. w. Doris. covering some of his moveable property and had issued another bill of sale covering the same property to the Steinfelds in Tue son. This affair was strengthened out a few days before the mans death. The Valley Bank was also said to have been holding a note from Fletcher and yes terdaY caused this note to be protested and attachment issued against some of the personal property. This was to be served by Depu- ty Sheriff Powers, who rode with Fletcher to his ranch.
 Fletcher leaves his wife and two sons. He came to Arizona from Pasa- dena. The body will be brought to Phoenix by Moore & McLellen. a rep resentative of that undertaking firm having gone to Maricopa last night for the body.

THE ALMOST IMPASSABlE RAPIDS
 OF THE GRAND CANYON.

In the July American Magazine ap- pears the picture story of great adventure which is a collection Of uhotographs made in the rapids of the Grand Canyon by Emery and Ells- worth Kolb, two adventurous photo graphers in the Southwest. The fol lowing note which accompanies the picture tells something about the Kolb brothers:
 At the beginning of September 1911, two brothers, Emery and ELS worth Kolb, left Green River, Wyo- ming. in specially constructed boats, for Needles, California, by way of the canyon of the Green and Grand Rivers. They took with them not only cameras. but a moving picture mach inc. with which they made the first motion picture ever secured of mer actually fighting for their lives ir white water.
 The expedition is the fourth that has succeeded in making the trip. Countless others have attempted it and faled Some starved to death, los ing boats and provisions in the rapids, and being unable to climb the smooth side walls. Others were drowned sucked under in the whirlpOOls. or weighed down by the great quantities of sand and mud carried by the river Still others went mad in the roaring silence the ceaseless fight against forces that seemed demoniacally alive, and the gloomy graundeur of these canyons.
 The Kolb brothers arrived at Needles, California, in the middle of the following January, having travel ed more than 1.5O0 miles and des- cended over coco feet; the greater part of the distance consisting of the most dangerous rapids in the world"
