Representative Kahn Declares
preparedness for War
Makes for Peace"

Telling his audience that 1t is pre-
paredness for war that makes for peace"
Representative Julius Kahn of California,
president of the new National Defense
League, delivered an address last night
before the monthly meeting of Gen. Mel
son a Miles Camp, Spanish War Veter-
ans, in which he emphasized, in particu-
lar, the need of an adequate navy.
An efficient number of ships, he said
was absolutely necessary, in view of the
additional responsibilities resting on the
American government with the compile
ton Of the Panama canal. Representa-
tive Kahn said the United States won
the Spanish-American war, notwithstand-
ing the fact that the country actually
was not prepared for 1t, by reason of the
fact that Spain was much less prepared
for it.
Opportunity for National Guard.
He also advocated more military ma
neuvers in which the National Guard
shall be given the opportunity for field
training by and with regular troops, SO
that the militia arm may be taught the
science of warfare by these regular
troops
John Lewis Smith, past department
commander of the Spanish War Veterans
delivered an address indorsing the work
of Representative Kahn in Congress for
the Spanish war veteran, and said that
the organization heartily joined in the
sentiments expressed by Mr.. Kahn.

The probable expenses of the house can not be properly estimated through calculations based upon an average for a shorter period, said the court, and the wife is to be considered the husbands agent with in a provision of the imperial civil code which prescribes that when an agent is commissioned to do some thing requiring a money outlay, the money thus required to be laid out must be advanced.
 The husband cannot escape his ob legations to advance the cash by opening a line of credit at various shops for his wife

NeW Charter Abbroved
 By Atty. Gen c: P. Bullard

last night to a representative of the Republican that he had closely eX- amined the new charter and found nothing therein that was of such 8 nature as to seriously conflict with the constitution of the state. It be- comes his duty therefore, if nothing is found in conflict with the constitution to approve of the proposed charter and transmit the same to the governor with his approval.
 The next step is the approval of the governor which is based upon the same proposition If the attorney general as the chief legal advisor of the gover- nor is satisfied with the charter then the governor must approve and return to the city council of the city.
 With the final steps taken in the work of obtaining the commission form of government for the city, there but remains to be held the election called for under the charter and the modern izing process for this growing city will begin with a vengeance. As it now stands the work of nearly two years stands so near completion as to be a cause for intense qualification.
 In speaking of the matter last night General Bullard said Phoenix can now have a commission form of gov ernment I congratulate her upon the successful completion of nearly two years of hard work. The letter of ap- proval which completes my part of the
 work will be transmitted to Governor Hunt in the morning and I have no doubt that he will hastily approve and sign the important papers and send them to the city council"
 At the time of vetoing the former proposed charter last January Cover nor Hunt expressed regret that he was forced to do so, since the law was mandatory and since there were num- erous conflicts in the document with the constitution. This time with no conflict in the document he will doubt less hasten to sign the document and transmit it to the city officials for safe keeping.

VIM. MANN SHOT WHILE HUNTING
 NORTH IF TOWN
We'll Known Plasterin 2 Contractor is Season $ First Victim and Would Have Been Killed But for TailbOard of Wagon

To the fact that the wagon in which he and his son Henry, aged 15 years, started out on hunting trip yesterday morning was fitted with 9 particularly sound end board, w. M. Mann, a well known piastering con tractor living at Seventh street and osborn Road would probably have met death about noon yesterday when enc of the guns taken along by Mann ard his son was prematurely dis charged while lying in the bottom Cf the wagon As it was the force o1 the discharge was broken before the charge reached Mann, who was walking behind the wagon, and but six of the No. 4 shot with which the shell had been loaded found lodgment in his body. At the Sisters Hospital pr Win Wylie and G. M Broadway removed the shot and last evening announced that they did not look for serious complications
 It was tie first hunting accident reported so far this season and is believed by both Mann and his son to have been the result of misplaced confidence in the called safety at tachment with which the gun was equipped Mann and the boy had been in the region back of Camel back and were making their way slowly back. The boy was seated in the wagon driving, his gun lying in the bottom of the wagon. while his father was walking along behind the wagon some eight or ten feet away
 The wagon struck a particularly bad bump in the road and as the wheels settled in the rut the jar dis charged the weapon. The muzzle tKNn nf end gate and blew a hole about the size of fifty-cent piece through the wood. One ball entered Mann's ab- domen, four others entered the leg near the groin and one penetrated the foot
 Suffering intense pain, Mann called to his son and told him he had been shot. The boy helped his father into the wagon and started at a break neck pace for their home, intending upon arriving there to call a physi- clan. They had covered about two miles of the seven or eight when an automobile loaded with hunters, among them some ladies. started to rass them. The predicament of Mann was reported to them and the party promptly left the machine. placed Mann in the rear seat and with the boy to help his father started for the Sisters hospital.
 Dr. Wy1ie and Dr. Broadway were summoned immediately after Manns arrival at the hospital and within very few minutes the injured man was on the operating table. It was found that the ball that entered the abdomen had punctured the intestines. making small perforations. The promptness with which Mann secured aid, however. precluded probability of infection and it is expected that he will be able to be out in a week or so.
