NEW DEACON[S5 HOSPITAL
 PLAN IF THE METHOD|STS

Arizona as the junior state of the republic has as yet failed fully to demonstrate to her older sisters that she is ready to obey Him who said
 Heal the sick" thus carrying out the social program of Christianity.
 The Methodist Episcopal and the Methodist church South will soon he one body, and will act as a unit in advancing the interests of the hos pital and Deaconess Home
 Preliminary favorable action has already been taken by the Methodist Church South, to donate the five acre plot at Tenth and McDowell road for a hospital and Deaconess Home
 The cosmopolitan cast of the ar ticles of incorporation provide for representation of other churches on the Board of Trustees This will open doors for a state wide campaign for one of the most desirable assets that could possibly be secured. Eugene s. Gaddis, a former Cin- cinnati pastor, comes well endorsed for the office of financial secretary. He is confident that the enterprise can be brought to a triumphant is- sue and will deliver the address of the occasion.
 All interested in the outcome of the undertaking are earnestly invited to the initial public service.

 It is the purpose of the Board of Trustees to secure. at the earliest date possible, the construction of buildings on the latest approved ar chitectural plans and equipped with the best apparatus modern science can furnish.

tain Ho.Zworth of this place.
 The regiment is at the present time under the command of Lieutenant Colonel H. H. Donkersley, Colonel Tuthill having gone back to Morenci to pick up a few recruits and several members of the band who live there The band as yet has not been re- cruited to full strength, owing to the fact that the major portion of the members of that unit are scattered all over the state.
 Yuma Doing Snare
 The little town of Yuma, according to Colonel Harris, has done more than its share toward recruiting the guard. It sent out one of the largest com panies of any town in the state, and in addition to that sent forty-three recruits yesterday under the command of Lieutenant Bailey of that place. Bailey stated yesterday that he thought he could go back to Yuma and pick up about twenty more re- cruits
 Harris stated yesterday that as time
 
 dent that nothing less than a war will cause recruiting to take on a stimu- lated action in Phoenix Phoenix though the largest city in the state has contributed the smallest number of men. There are plenty of evi- dences, according to Harris, that he could raise a regiment here in case of intervention, but he also explained that the regiment would have te spend three or four months in a con cer'ration camp being trained and made fit for service. The men who are counting on making this move. &C., coTding to the adjutant general are going to be badly disappointed, as the First regiment will be in the van oi ali operations on the border. and 2 regiment raised later would probably not get closer than the border.

 GUARD BETTER

Young Man Who Enlists From Williams Receives Cheerful Message From Parents in California Who Extend Blessings

Relieving that it would be good who are prohibiting their sons from joining the colors of the First Ari- zona infantry at Douglas, through mistaken motives, Adjutant General Harris yesterday gave out a copy of q telegram mailed him by Lieutenant Ming, now on recruiting duty in the northern part of the state. The tele- gram was sent to a boy who enlisted in the regiment, by his father and mother, and carries a resistless appeal of patriotism The telegram is as fol- lows;
 Fresno, Cal, May 15. 1916. "E. z. Ferquscn, Williams, Ariz.
 We would object to regular army because the trouble may soon blow over and you would then be bound for those years to post duty. Take careful stock of your motives, and be sure patriotism and not adventure moves you; then if you feel your country needs you, join the National Guard. Should you. decide you must go to the front our blessings will go with you. as a. all times.
 ANOTHER AND FATHER"
 Harris was very pleased with the telegram, and stated hat if more fathers and mothers looked at the matter in the same way. there would he less holding back at the present time when the state and country needs men so badly. The young man in question who received the above heartfelt telegram is now at Douglas.
 No Official Word
 Colonel Harris has received no of fictll word from the regiment at Dorglas He has sent wire after wire to the regiment, but has not received a single answer He is much at loss to account for this. not knowing whether there is a censor at the other erd of the wire, or whether the off cers are too busy to answer his tele- grams. The colonel will go to Doug las when the regiment has been mus tered in. and attend to the details of turning over the state property to the government. At the present time Captain Temple, assistant adjutant general, is on the ground keeping ar eagle eye on the munitions of war be- longing to the state.
 Captain Stanley F. Williamson, who has been on the unassigned list fol the past several months was yester- day put on the active list and as signed to recruiting. He will have charge of the Phoenix office while Lieutenant Price. who has been 1T charge here, will go to Globe ant other mining camps.

Legislation Committee Nam ed After Lively Debate as to Right. of Body to Move in Matter That May ln- volve Politics
SILVER SERVICE
 FOR BATTLESHIP
Many Varied Matters Given Consideration; Two EX- hibits, Excursion and Pro gram of Next Meeting Are Acted On

To avoid lining anybody up over politics, yet to accomplish much need ed reforms in legislation affecting business, finance and production, was the problem the Arizona state board of trade solved yesterday by the ap- pointment of q legislative committee. The delegates went into the only real line up of the session over the ad- visibility of taking any steps in this matter, some holding out against the proposed action, on the ground it would result in a violation of the fundamental agreement to avoid politics, that forms one of the bases of the organization.
 There was a deal of debate. V. D. Johnson, secretary of the Mesa Com mcrcial Club, related the fight he had engaged in to divorce ais organization from politics, and dwelt upon the good results that followed his success. Vice President Andrew Kimball, who pre- sided, strongly favored the appoint ment of the committee, and after nearly an hours discussion during the afternoon session, the act was author ized, and MT. Kimball named the com
 
 copa county, chairman; J. W. Francis of Flagstaff, Dr. B. E. Briscoe of Will COX.
 The committee is authorized to work for legislation that will tend to instill confidence into capital. The concen- sus of opinion was that Arizona now has laws inimical to capital. Charles F. Willis, of the state bureau of mines, said that it was not so much present laws, but possible ones, that reacted through the present lack of confidence on the part of moneyed men. We need not worry about that so much as the possible future passage of laws even more inimical to progress
