UNKNOWN DEAD
 WERE H0N0REO
For First Time Flowers Were Strewn Upon the Neglected and Almost Forgotten Graves of the POtters' Field

i For the first time in history the graves of the Potters field were strewn with flowers.
 l For the first time in half cen ! tury Memorial Day was observed by placing a cluster of blossoms on the mounds of the luckless soldier of for tune whose head rest in many in stances read "UnknoWn." It was not an impressive parade that marched I to the burial ground of the countY'S poor and unfortunate; it was headed neither by band nor militia nor state ! official. It was all quite simple but
 what it lacked in pomp and cere- mony it gained in sincerity of pur- | pose. Just a small group of earnest women. who all morning stood be- meath the trees of the city hall | park and arranged in bouquets the wagon loads of flowers sent from 1 the gardens of those who listened to
 the appeal of Miss Elizabeth $. Bar ger. Through her efforts one thous- ! and uncared graved were decorated l One thousand men. women and 1 children forgotten for many years were honored again yesterday. No | monuments told who they were or gave hint of what they might have been The white washed board or rough pine cross with name, age date of death and the occasional pitt ful blank-that was all.
 X few weeks ago the entire ten acres which make up the potterS fieuld was a dumping ground where it was not solid mass of mesquite, catclaW and sage brush Five acres of this has been cleared and the re- maining acles are now being put in like condition. This is being done by the board of supervisors whose attention was called to the matter by Miss Barger.
 Miss Barger is d humane worker of note. She is member of tine American Society of the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals and the Au- dubon Society of New York. After interesting the supervisors in inn proving the cemetery Miss Barger inaugurated successful campaign for flowers
 
 assistance she said last evening T feel this is the beginning of a new movement in Phoenix and l hope to be here next winter to do what can. The newspapers, especially The Republican, have been splendid in their cooperation, the people li- beral in their floral tributes and l want to thank the Star Corra! for 1 it's support and help.
 Those who accompanied Miss Bar ger to Potters field and decorated the graves were Mrs. N A. Hertel and Mrs Minnie w Miller of the As sociated Charities, Miss Bessie Da- vies. Miss Mary Price Miss Marietta 1 Norton. Miss Edith Fulwiler and | Miss Beltha Knipe
