My Galvanized Tanks in the State of Arizona are a stand ing monument to my work manship. Tanks, bathtubs, irrigation equipment or any thing in the sheet metal line should certainly be submit ted for my attractive figures. The permanent repair of gal vanized tanks, by a process that is all my own, is another great feature of my work. There are hundreds of tanks here in the Salt River Val ley that I have placed in re- pair, and are now good for several years additional service. It will be to your interest to figure with me on any of your requirements in the sheet metal line.

This made the situation more
complicated, because II Cottrill and
Vance were not eligible to hold Of

its Monday night meeting was not

tended, therefore, that the election

Holt, was not legal and that they
could not act last night
With this mixed up affair facing
them, many speeches were made by
both sides and hot remarks were
made by members OF both sides.
After arguing the question pro and

Night and Another In
teresting One is Scheduled
for Saturday night.

Great political battles were fought
and won during the construction OF
1.-THE municipality Of Broad Oaks but
never in the history of the small
municipality has there been such
bitter strife among the residents Of
that suburb as at the present time.
The trouble all started at a meet
ing of the ce,lncil held last Monday
night in the town hall when G. NJ.
Coffmau who was elected council
man at the January election was not
allowed to qualify as a councilman
because he did not own $1OO worth
of personal property or at least he
was not taxed for 500 worth of per-
sonal property. One Of the election
laws of the municipality require a
man to be taxed for at least 500
worth of property before he is elig-
ible to hold Office.
After throwing Coffman out Of his
Office Monday night, the newly elect
ed officers qualified and started to
transact business. The first business
before the body was to fill the va
cancy made by removing Mr.. Coff-
man. 8
The council elected T. j. Holt to
fill the vacancy. The next business
before the council was to act upon
the resignation. of Charles McMunn
who was elected mayor at the Janu-
airy election but who for business
reasons could not serve. The coun-
Gil accepted his resignation and elect
Joseph Il: Craddock mayor The
newly elected mayor then qualified
and took charge of the meeting. II
was at this point that the trouble
started. When the council took up
the election OF sergeant for the city,
1t was learned that the council was
divided as to which of the two APP
plicants for the position should be
elected. Charles N. Pearrell. the
present holder of the position, and
Joseph Lynch were the two appli-
cants. After. much argument the
election Of the sergeant was carried
over to the Friday night meeting
of the council.
All day Friday 1t was whispered
around that there were going to be
big doings Friday night, so the coun-
eli chamber was filled to the doors
when Mayor Craddock called that
body to order

WORKERS DEMANDS
BEING OBJECTED TO

While the association never at
tempts to fix prices, the market was
thoroughly discussed, and the concen-
sus Of opinion was strongly against
any further advance in window glass
prices at this time.
Reports presented showed that the
production now amounts to 100000
boxes a month.
Factory conditions and wages came
in for much discussion, nearly every
manufacturer attending having some
thing to say during the open debate.
The opinion was generally voiced that
the claims of the glassworkers for
more pay at this time are not defend
able and that existing conditions do
not justify manufacturers in advanc-
ing wages. 1t was pointed out that
the workers are receiving more wages
this fire than last, and that they
agreed 10 eliminate the sliding scale
this year. Consequently they are con-
siderably better of financially now
than II they had been working under
the sliding scale agreement, which
would only have applied to portion
of the blast.

hotel here last night was disclosed
today by a rumpled piece of paper
found in DR.. kennerly's pocket.
The paper was an affidavit in which
DIR. Kennerly accused his former
associate Of failure to pay 500 debt
and of Withholding other funds, which
DR.. Kennerly said were due. The
affidavit asked that Dr.. Johnson be
expelled from the Masonic order.
DR.. Johnson is at the City hospital
lowering between life and death, his
face and body terribly slashed and a
wound through both hips and the
groin made by a revolver bullet. Dr..
Kennerly, also cut about the face and
on both arms, is prisoner at the
hospital. Two other participants in
the fight also are prisoners, Walter A:
Diesenbaugh, of San Antonio, at the
hospital with his throat badly slashed,
and Charles Lody, at police headquar-
ters. Conflicting stories were told by
Kennerly, Lody and Diesenbaugh.
Kennerly said he "just happened to be
in Deisenbaugh's room" when Lody
and DR.. Johnson entered, the latter
with a revolver in one hand and a
knife in the other. Kennerly said he
came to 81. Louis to collect the money
he claims from Johnson but denies he
used revolver or that he fought ex-
cept in self-defense.
