The new fire stations and the new automobile combination chemical and hose wagons of the Phoenix fire de- partment are to be appropriately dedi cated in the near future, if the plans of the Phoenix volunteer fire depart ment are carried out That this may be done in fitting manner, the volun- teers will devote $200 to that purpose. This was determined upon at the regu- lar quarterly meeting of the volunteer department held last evening in the city court room, second floor of the city hall building.

Kinney, representing the engine l company No. l.; James Parks, repre- senting the Victor company; A. B. Del gado representing the Yucatec com pany, and James G. Simpson, repre- sentng the Pioneer Hose company. The first meeting of this committee is called 1 fo next Sunday afternoon at 3 o'clock
 at central fire station.
 l There was a host of business trans
 acted at last evenings meeting, but the principal action outside of that witf 1 relation to the dedicatory ceremonies was the adoption of a motion directing | Fireman John Brown to submit bic for the removal of the bodies of volun- teer firemen from the various old ceme- teries about to be abandoned to tho firemen's plot in Greenwood cemetery This bid is to be submitted at the neX l regular meeting of the volunteer de partment.
 There was some talk of making pro vision for the entertainment of visit ing firemen during fair week but thi'
 matter was deferred to some futur ltime.
 Sterling Price of the chemical com
 pany, asked that the secretaries of thu
 several volunteer companies be mad laWare that the individual companie are expected to hold regular meeting land to issue calls for such meetings a Jrequred by the bylaws.

THE AERIAL WARSHIP

Athwart the sky it seems to fly Amid the breeding clouds And as it comes its big screw huns Above the awestruck crowds A thing of dread high overhead little speck of black, It seems to go, with menace slow Straight to it's grim attack. And then the sound that shakes the ground, As down the frail walls go! Some puffs Of smoke some fumes that choke And walls of shuddering woe. And old men here and children there Lie dead, writhe in pain, With oath and a scowl, OCT their deeds

 The ghouls fly home again!

Whereupon the Mexican minister
was handed his passports and the
American people woke up to the fact
that they had war on their hands.
The movement of the United States
troops was marked by rapidity Of ac-
ton which resulted in throwing 10000
armed men into the field inside the
first week. In the meanwhile General
Carton fought two drawn battles and
retired slowly on the line Of his ad-
vancing re-enforcements.
He at least succeeded in making the
Mexican gain a thing of feet rather

forces the American army assumed the
offensive and delivered a crushing
check to their foes near the town Of
Kent, in Texas.
Thereafter the war took on a steady
character Of American advance and
Mexican retreat.

On Aug 10 a column of Mexican

the suddenness of the movement when

they attacked. The first stroke was

BANS FRAT HOMES ON
UNIVERSITY HEIGHTS
Supreme Court Forbids Renting
to Greek Letter
Societies.

Restrictions established by the authors
ties OF New York University IN laying out
property on University Heights adjacent
to the campus for residential purposes
have resulted in ruling by tho Supreme
Court that such restrictions prevent the
leasing Of property In that section TO fra
ternities composed OF university students.
Tho decision was handed down by JUS
tice Lehman In a suit for permanent In
junction restraining Mrs. Jessanline G.
Bliss. wife of Prof. Collins T. Bliss OF
the university faculty. from renting a
house at 2202 to 220i Andrews avenue TO
the NJ Epsilon Chapter of the Phi Gamma
Delta fraternity. which has occupied the
house for the last year.
The injunction was asked for in a suit
OF Mrs, Nellie l.. vousht, vito Of n. Frank
vousht president OF building concern
at $40 Madison avenue. Mrs. vought
bought from Mrs Bliss a house adjoining
tho premises occupied by the fraternity
and In her complaint she alleged that the
use Of the residence rs a fraternity house
was a violation Of the university's re-
striction.
Mrs vought contended that the Phi
Gamma Delta fraternity house Is not a
private residence because tho members
held entertainments. smokers and dances
which last until early morning" and that
these affairs arc a "detriment to tho
nelghborhood for residential purposes
Mrs. Bliss through her attorney insisted
that tho fraternity members "eat there,
study there and In every respect use Il
az people use a private residence" In an
affidavit Prof. Bliss said
The residential character OF the neigh
borhood and street is in no way damaged
by the occupancy OF a distinctly private
residence by family OF boys living under
ono set OF housekeeping arrangements.

Tor purposes which might arise In any
large family occupying a suburban resi-
dence as To house parties. dances and en-
tcrtainmcnts OF a social nature. The re-
s'rictions are Intended to bar only apart
ment houses, two family houses, stores
and other business buildings"
Prof Bliss argued that the use of the
premises had not affected tho value OF
property In the ne'ghborhood because Dr.
W. T. Hornaday. director of the Bronx
geological Gardens, has bought resi-
dence adjoining a fraternity house on
terms satisfactory 10 the owners. half
dozen owners OF property IN tho imme-
diato vicinity made affidavts that they
did not consider that the value OF their
property had been lowered.
In his decision Justice Lehman said:
Il ind that while the young mon who
arc members OF the fraternity and occupy
tho house have at all times conducted
themselves IN n proper manner and have
caused the plaintiff no damage Other than
that which is inseparable from the use
or tho premises as fraternity house, vet
such occupancy itself constitutes n breach
or the covenant that the premises shall be
used a. a private residence only"
