 IF THE JEFFERSON

One of the most beautiful hotel busses manufactured anywhere was put in commission in Phoenix yes- terday by the Jefferson Hotel. It is dark maroon colored, massive but light running One of the proudest contributors to the hotels new bus was John R. Huff, manager of the local Studebaker agency. The chassis is Studebaker 4-40. and for some weeks Mr Huff has been greatly interested in the construction work of the beautiful bus placed on his chassis. The bus was manufactured throughout by the Phoenix Show Case and Cabinet Company of Five Points. The workmanship throughout is a splendid example of high grade cab
 inet making. No plant in the United States could turn out a more highly polished or beautifully finished pro- duct than this bus. The exterior is all of Spanish steel, beautifully de- signed. There are glass windows near the top, these windows are about a foot high and are of ornamental glass, and extend around all four sides of the bus. The bus holds very comfortably, twelve people. Sit ting in the bus, one is in the midst of delightful luxury. The interior wood is all solid mahogany It is electricically lighted both inside and out The floor has rich blue vel vet carpet and the seats are deep and for comfort could not be excelled by a big easy chair in a club house. The upholstering is in brown Span ish leather Manager Roper of the Jefferson Hotel took great delight yesterday afternoon in showing the bus to the business men of the city.

AGAINST PEACE NOW

London. Dec. 1.-THE Russian
Duma has gone on record as unani-
mously fayoring a categorical refusal
of the German peace offer as moth
ing more than fresh proof Of tho
weakness OF the enemy and a hypo-
critical act" A resolution to this eff
feet was adopted by the Russian Par
lament, according to a dispatch from
Petrograd.
The attempt to bring about peace
negotiations. the resolution says. in
made by Germany to throw upon
others the responsibility for the war
and for what happened during 1t,
and to expiate itself before public
opinion In Germany.
Peace at this time would be pre-
mature. the Dumas resolution 10

involve the danger OF another bloody
war and a renewal OF the deplorahle
sacrifices by the people"
A decisive victory by the allies
alone can lead to a lasting peace. the
resolution concludes.
