FAIR STORE LANDS A
 BIG ORDER FOR ARMY
Frankenburg Bros. & Newman Will Supply 1000 Rp51er
 Boots at NaCO.

Frankenberg Brothers & Newman brought unusual credit to Bisbee as a hustling commercial city by an en- terprising stroke Of business which is bound to attract considerable at tention. When United States troops arrived at Naco this week during the height of the storm. an emergency order for rubber boots was prepared.
 Inquiries y the officers in com mand led to an appeal to the Fair Store to execute an order for one thousand pairs of boots. The pro- prietors of the store soon had the telegraph fires humming with que ries concerning the filling of such or der They got in touch with manufac turers upon whom they could rely and, in spite of strenuous efforts made by business competitors in Douglas, Bisbee and other cities to secure the order received the com mission to deliver the huge consign- ment to the troops at Naco.
 The prestige accruing to The Fair Store and to Bisbee as a hustling community is not the least feature of this big business deal consummated by Frankenberg Brothers & Newman.

 FOR CITY MANAGER
Public Sentiment Is Apparently in Favor of the
 New Plan.

LOS ANGELES. Cal. Dec. 26.-"If your city has the gout from too fast living don't cut off the foot, but put the city on a mush and milk diet- This pithy declaration of a city man. ager at the recent convention of city managers at Springfield, O.. has struck home in Los Angeles, where the question of renovatng the city's administration will be put before the voters a week from today
 It is beloved that Los Angeles win adopt the new plan which is now in effective practice in fifteen cities in America. The new plan is a corpor- ationlike organization, with the peo- pie in close touch as stockholders. The line Of responsibility i straced from to the city manager. from him to the directors of the departments of ad. mnistration. and then on down through the detail work of the depart ments to the lowest employe in the city service Efficiency is supplant- ing politics, obscurity and graft are being eliminated and the wide-open method of conducting the city's busi- ness and the citys work puts the cit izens in close touch with the men responsible for the public business

 The Los Angeles plan to be voted on December 28. calls for a central ization of power, through depart ment heads to supplant them and be .answerable to the city manager and to be appointed under civil service. The Council may remove the city manager. He must submit annually a financial and service program, and must make a monthly report Of the work of each fthe eleven depart ments. The councilmen must meet daily not behind closed doors, but where the public can intervew them.

SIGNING OF TREATY
 OF CLIENT REJOICED
 U, s, 100 YEARS AGO
Establishment of Peace With England Came as a Christmas Present to This Country on Dec. 24, 1914 Causing Joy.

WASHINGTON. D. c. Dee.-Amer. ioa's Christmas present 100 years ago was the Treaty of Ghent. which put an end to the two years conflict with England known as the War of 1872. The treaty of peace was signed in the little Holland town of Chent on Christmas Eve. Dec 24, 1874, and it was heartily welcomed in England as in the United States.
 Although one Of the signers of the peace contract is now at war in the greatest European struggle Of all time, the da ywas not passed without exchange Of felicitations between the heads of the two great English-peaI,. ing nations. The centenary was big day in diplomatic circles. for much has been learned of treaties since the little gathering in Ghent stood the test of time. Under it have been settled many disputes of the greatest importance to the two big nations lt is hailed as a great landmark in international intercourse.

The street itself was illumined by candles carried in the hands of a large concourse of the populace; the city resounded in all parts with the joyful cry of "A Peace! A peace!" and it was for nearly two hours diff- cult to make ones way through un- numbered crowds of persons"
 "It is wonderful to see the change produced in a few hours m the city of New York, was the comment a day later. "In no place has the war been more felt nor proved more disastrous putting us back in our growth at least ten years. and no place in the United States will more experience the reviving blessings of peace"
 The news spread from town to town until 1t reached the furthermost settlements north, south an dwest. Celebrations were held to mark the arrival Of the gratifying news, and the bitterness which had character ized the feelings of Americans toward

SOLID WALL STEEL
THROWN OVER THE
GREAT NORTH SEA

( tBy Associated PressD
LONDON, Sept pa solid wall
of warships" is thrown across the
northern part of the North sea, ac
cording to the captain of British
trawler who has just arrived from
Iceland. The skipper said it was "ab-
solutely impossible for any foe to
break through undetected," so con
stant and thorough was the patrol to
the north, 1t was his own experience
to be halted and searched and after
being released his boat was followed
by two torpedo boats until it reached
its destination.
The thoroughness OF the patrol was
further testified to by another North
sea skipper. His trawler was lying
along shore, when shortly after mid
night it suddenly found itself hemmed
in by a huge black object which
proved to be a British cruiser It's
officers seemed to have had cats
eyes. From the dark a voice de-
manded to know the identity Of the
/ trawler. 1t was promptly shouted
\ back.
4 THAT name is quite correct, sir
came another mysterious voice astern
of us" said the skipper. "A sub
marine had crept up behind US and
read our name Although all of oul
crew had come on deck to see what
+ was happening, not one of them hat
seen the submarine appear The

minutes, and the cruiser, after wish

TAX Commission
DISCUSSION HEARD
Governor Should Be Made
Responsible According to
Opponents OF 20-Man Body.

That the governor should be made.
as chief executive Of the State, to
shoulder the responsibility of the out
come OF the tax reform as recommend
ed by the tax commission, was one OF
the principal features of the debate OF
the opponents of the twenty member
tax commission, when they addressed
the Joint session Of the finance COM
mittees of the house and senate last
night in the senate chamber. The argu-
ment was on whether cimmission
of twenty should be appointed from
the general assembly, as reported from
the finance committees or whether
of five be appointed by the
governor to study the question of tax
revision, as contained in the Walker
Gordon bill.
Members of the Richmond chamber
of commerce, their representatives and
Senator Walker and Delegate Gordon
appeared before committees to show
why this plan was not practical and to
endorse the Walker-1ordon bill. This
measure was drawn from resolutions
passed by the Virginia tax conference.
which met in Richmond during the
month of January and resolutions
adopted by the Farmers union. during
the same month.
The meeting closed at 10 o'clock
with no action being taken.
