 ROAD T0 SOUTH
 BEING PLANNED

Contemplated construction of ma cadamized highway over the entire distance between Phoenix and Chan dler and plans for the initiation of a campaign to secure early action to fn- sure the road, was announced yester- day. According to the program, the new highway will follow the present state road between the two valley cities. Definite announcement of conStruc- ton plan is expected at any moment.
 Dr. A. J. Chandler. of Chandler. funder of the city and proprietor of the San Marcos hotel, is one of the promot- CTS of the proposed highway. The Goodyear Tire company, which has re- gently entered the agricultural districts of the Salt River valley with large in- vestments, is declared to be the other behind the movement. It is stated that the arrangements for financing the highway and for early action to start construction are now under way.
 Plans of the promoters, according to yesterdays announcement, are to com plete the highway before the end of the summer season or inside the next eight months. This will place the new road in readiness to handle the heavy traffic from southside cotton planta- tions late next summer and early next fall.
 Both Dr. Chandler and the Goodyear Tire company are heavily interested ir the cotton industry in this valley. Dr Chandler has had large land interests on the south side for several years The Goodyear people, however, have recently entered the district. They plar growing their own cotton for tht manufacture of automobile tires.

FOUND FUR JAR WHILE
 OWNER |S AWAY

Lewis Waite of Los Angeles, driving a fiund5on runabout, e-buiit as q rae. ing model, had trouble with his magne- to Thursday, and decided to abandon the machine some distance this side of Hayden, where he was bound. Waite was of the opinion that if he could not make she machine go, no one who was not acquainted with it could suc- ceed. lie figured that his failure was the final word. and that the machine would be there when he returned for it with expert aid.
 He left the machine all helpless be- side the road, and started out to find the expert aid he needed. 1t evidently arrived during his absence, as when he came back several hours later to the spot on which he had anchored his runabout, # was missing. Tracks showed that whoever took the machine had worked over if a short time, climbed in, and driven to--no one knows where.
 Waite was deeply distressed over los ing his machine. He reported the mat ter to the sheriff's office, and trusts that whoever got the machine will be kind enough to tell him what was the matter with it, and how it was fixed so quickly and simply. He feels that he has been the victim of cruel fate.
 ( The machine is of low model, with a trunk fastened to the back of the gas tank. The car is painted gray. The left front tire is in bad condition, but the other three are in fair shape. The ma chimes four cylinders are in good run ming order, but Waite has nothing to say regarding the r,zgneto. He does not know whether it is running or not. 1t wasn't when he saw the machine last, and he still as is doubts. A Cali fornia license is attacked, the number being 1o959o.

THEOSOPHY T0
 BE: EXP0UNDED

{, Declaring that he will deliver to Phoenix the greatest message the city has ever received, Max Wardall, law yer, editor and student of sociology. stated that he would point out to a local audience tonight the great truths underlying the "aIleged' teachings of Christianity.
 Mir Wardall contends that the church is q failure because of the neg lect of it's teachers to include in their message what the bible has taught the followers of New Thought Christian Science and Spiritualism. It is be- cause of the lack of sympathy, under standing and harmony that the vitality has been sapped from the churches he says.
 "In New York city there are 3,500, 900 people without church utilization" said Mir Wardall in discussing the church situation yesterday.
 Those who are attending churches are all getting the same thing in a different way and cursing each other because they are not getting it in the same way. Theosophy is in sympathy with all religions and one of it's ob- jects is to amalgamate the different faiths asserted Mir. Wardall as he touched upon the quarrels over creeds. This will be one of the points elabor- ated upon in his lecture at the Arizona School of Music tonight on "Esoteric Christianity" This national lecturer fer the Theosophical society will in- tei5ret Christianity from the view | point of the occult science MT. Wardali became widely known throughout the country five years ago 1 when he conducted campaign of re- 1 form in Seattle MT. Wardall was
 president of the council when "Hf' Gill. mayor of Seattle, went to Alaska on bear hunt. While the chief execu-
 tive was absent the acting mayor did
 a bit of hunting on his own account
 the vice crusade resulting in the recall l of the mayor on his return. MT. Wardall is graduate of the 1 University of Washington and surren
 dered a lucrative law practice to de- 1 vote himself to the cause of theosophy 1 Asked if he regretted giving up his f profession, the young lecturer witt
 the enthusiasm of true believer, re. sponded he had discovered the laws o1 l the higher life.

Jjinx Gets Mesa
 Baseball Team After Hard Rum
Stocked up with splints and first

Stocked up with splints and first aid outfits. with guaranteed rab- bits foot for each member of the team, Mesa's high school baseball team is going to take chance and go to Glendale today for the first game between these two teams of the season. If the members of the Mesa team do not have to come home in ambulances from the dangers of the diamond, the man agement will be thankful.
 All these precautions have been taken because of the jinx which has been after the Mesa boys the past week. 1t started when Carroll Diehl, third baseman for the team, broke his leg. This was considered bad but bad grew worse when Dick Standage, in making a slide to sec ond, sprained his ankle. This made things look real blue but the jinx was still in working order. Ross Darley, who was playing second, got screamer from the home plate. Of course, being a real baseball player, he took it. He caught the ball and caught the jinx as well, breaking his thumb.
 1t is admitted up and down the valley that Mesa has some grit to even chance trip from home, to say nothing of taking a chance on the dangerous diamond which has proven it's Fiodden Field so far this year.

She also praised the presi- dent on the color team.
 Mrs Juneau crossed %he continent for the sole purpose of carrying out promise to Mrs. Alexander to in spect the local auxiliary this year She is delighted that she kept her promise, for she is charmed with Arizona and it's people. Today Mrs Alexander will entertain her with a motor trip through the valley after calling upon Governor Campbell at the state house.

H|LL URGES REPAIR
 IF APACHE TRAIL

With the Southern Pacific railroad routing all the way from twenty to one hundred passengers daily oyer the Apache Trail from Phoenix to Roose- welt Dam and Globe, Wesley Illl, pro- prieor Of the Globe Phoenix Auto Stage line, feels that the authorities of Mari copa county, as well as the business men generally, should give prompt at tention to the need of improvement of the greatest scenic highway in the southwest He doubts if there is an- ether road in the country. over which there is so much tourist travel, which is in a more nearly impossible condi- tion.
 We have made our claims to the people of Maricopa county for he last year that there was going to be a wonderful increase of travel over this great highway" said MT. Hill yester day. We have been trying to have this road improved and repaired. The business men Of Phoenix have until now been rather skeptical as to these claims, but there can no longer be this skepticism, for the predicted travel is now an established fact. We are bring ing in almost every day from five to twenty carloads of tourists. routed over the Apache Trail by the Southern Pacific.
 T have over two hundred tourists booked to travel over this road the coming week and parties scheduled ahead as far as June 1, ranging from seventeen to seventy people. It would not cost a great amount to make the repairs necessary to place this road in good shape. If Maricopa courty were to do this work it would be well worth the amount expended in the good ad- vertising that would result for this sec tion."

GOVERNOR REFUSES
 SIGNATURE TO PAY
 ROUNTREE SALARY
Political Calcium Shining Upon Hunt Appointee Who Performed as Tally
 Clerk While upon Payroll

The appointment by Governor Campbell of George H. Smalley as state examiner to succeed Harry Rountree, having been criticised in an advertisement by the trustee of Gov ernor Hunts Contest Fund" as par tisan appointment, has invited the calcium light upon the partisan ac- tivities of MT. Rountree which. per- haps, directed the attention of Gov ernor Campbell to the need of state examiner for the public business. MT. Rountree's time appeared to have been consumed by his service of the former governor.
 The record shows that MT Roun- tree was appointed state examiner by Governor Hunt on December 30 of last year. At that time Mir. Roun- tree had been engaged for nearly week as q tally clerk in the interest of the governor in the inspection of the pallets. He began work on BoarG No. 1 and was transferred to Board No when it was formed on De- cember 27. That board ceased opera tions on January g but the new state examiner was not yet out of personal service of Governor Hunt. He worked in the court library. checking the poll books and certificates of election, reg istration blanks and rejected ballots and performing some other labors in behalf of the governor, until Janu- ary 31.
 So engrossed was MT. Rountree in the cause of Governor Hunt that he had no time for the discharge of his duties to the state and Governor Campbell, on succeeding to the otfice. observed the need of state exam iner. He accordingly appointed Mir. Smaliey and yesterday declined to allow payment to MT. Rorntree for the time he had been in the personal employ of Governor Hunt while under appointment as state examiner
 There is no charge that MT. Roun- tree had been perniciously active iii the performance of his duties to the state.

Many of the famous Amer 1 ican army men and Indians with his toric records are seen in this picture of the stirring times in the making of the glorious west. The picture IS fur ther graced by the appearance of the 14th U. S. cavalry, the crack regiment of the entire army. The Iathe News adds to this splendid movie dish.
