FRANK M. MURPHY, WELL KNOWN ARIZONA PIONEER,
 ANSWERS LAST GALL AT HIS HOME IN PRESCOTT

After an illness of many months, Frank M. Murphy, pioneer Arizonan, died in Prescott last night, according to word received in this city.
 MT. Murphy. president of the Santa Fe, Prescott & Phoneix railroad, was born in Maine. reared and educated in Wisconsin and had been a resident of Arizona since 1877. Though he wield- ed a strong influence in the develop ment of many of Arizona's important resources, he was best known through his association with the railroad, the success sof which was due, in a large measure, to his wise judgment and business energy. The success obtain ed by the famous Congress gold mine can also be attributed. in great de- gree, to his foresight; as he placed the affairs of the company on a profit able basis, and under his management $S000.000 worth of gold was taken out of it. With his particular friend, R. N. F'redericks. MT Murphy founded the Prescott National bank of which he was president from 1893 to 1910.

when he was succeeded by Mir Fred ericks. Mir Murphy was the biuld- CT of the Yavapai Club and one of it's first presidents.
 He was reputed to have brought more money into Arizona for invest ment than any other single individual in the state. The ability he display ed in the successful management of his road during the panic of 1893 at- tracted widespread attention and gave him a position among the recognized financial giants of the country.
 As president of the Development Company of America, a holding com pany with many large undeveloped in- terests. a position he was prevailed upon to take in addition to his many other duties, he fell heir to 8 lot of trouble. as the company. due to a com bination of unavoidable circumstances failed, forcing upon him the presi- dency and management of many sub sidiary companies whose properties were in process of development and

President A sks 10000 Men to Join the Army
(By Review Leased Wire.)

WASHINGTON, June 23.-Recruit.
 ing work for the regular army. fixed
 by presidential proclamation, opened today throughout the country with the army recruiting service ready for a great drive for war volunteers
 The presidents proclamation calls for 10000 men to come forward during the week for war service. Already a division of regulars has been designat- ed for service in France under Gen ,eral Pershing and the men wLo re- spond to the presidents call may feel assured, officials point out, that there will be little delay in reaching the western front when the movement of troops overseas begins.
 Returns for the first day of the re- cruiting week will not be available un- til Monday, when the war department will announce figures for today and tomorlow. Unless the department is to fail in its efforts to fill up to war strength during the week, an average of nearly 10000 men a day must be obtained, or nearly ten times as many as have been accepted each day for the last several weeks. Yesterday only I'll men were accepted.
 An appeal to the newspapers to aid in securing recruits was made by Sec retary Baker today, who said that with out the cooperation of the press the recruiting campaign must fail. The secretary issued this statement ad- dressed r3 the editors of all newspa- pers:
 President Wilson has by proclama- tion fixed the week beginning today as Recruiting Week for the regular army. The army needs and expects to obtain during the week 10000 men to fill every regiment to war strength. The men cannot be obtained, however, the hearty cooperation of the American press.
 T am relying confidently upon the patriotism of the press in this emer- gency. and know that the newspapers will cooperate fully with the recruit ing service throughout the week to make Recruiting Week another splen- did demonstration of the spirit of the country

most of which were financially embar- rassed. He never shirked the respon-- sibility and, if his life had been spared. would undoubtedly have prov ed to the satisfaction of all concern ed that the subsidiary companies should not. and would not have failed had they received the little additional support necessary. One of Mir. Mur- phys highest ambitions was to build what is known as the Arizona, Mexico & Gulf of California railroad. which, with the Panama Canal completed, would probably have proven a most important influence in the up-building of Arizona.
 MT. Murhpy had been failing in health rapidly and several days ago physicians announced that he could not live. News of his death will be received by all who knew him with-uni- versal sorrow. as he was one of the most prominent and most popular of the pioneers to whose efforts Arizona can give much of the credit for it's present development.

Head of Russian Mission Is Greeted With Enthusiasm At Joint Session of Senate And House; Pledges Faith.

WASHINGTON, June 23.-The new Russians devotion to the cause of de mocracy against autocracy was re- pledged in ringing phrases today by Special Ambassador Boris Bakhme- tieff, head of the Russian war mission, speaking to a wildly applauding joint session of the senate and house.
 With all emphasis" said the Am bassador, may I state that Russia re- jects any idea of separate peace. What Russia is aiming at is the estab- lishment of firm and lasting peace between democratic nations. The tri- umph of German autocracy makes such a peace impossible. Russia will not fail to be a worthy partner in the league of honor"
 No previous incident of the war has stirred the senate and house to such enthusiasm. Senators and represent atives who had restrained their ap- plause at the appearance of Marshal Joffre and Foreign Secretary Balfour. threw away all reserve and cheered the Russian envoy to the echo.
 Speaking in English. the ambassa- dor recounted first Russia's wrongs un- der the autocracy and then the story of her political regeneration. The de mocracy and its policy of continuing the war relentlessly, he declared. has won the support of the Russians.

 CEASE OPERATIONS NEXT WEEK

n UTE, Mont, June 23.-The U mines of the Butte district EH are expected to be closed
 early next week because of strikes called by the Metal Mine Workers union and the electric ians union and the endorsement of the strikes that are being given by other trades unions. according to an official of a mining company today.

RED CROSo LACKS BUT
 2O MILLION
Big War Fund Campaign Nears Close, But Workers Are. Urged To Spare No Effort In Securing Subscrip- tions.
iBr Reyiew Leaset Nirel


 ! WASHINGTON, June 23.-Twenty million dollars must be collected to- morrow and Monday by the Red Cross volunteer campaigners to make the weeks canvass for S1O0,000, 900 fund an entire success. Despite the spec tacular spurts of a number of cities, total new pledges reported to national headquarters today were only s3,O00,- 900, making the aggregate collections for six days about SS0. 100000. Campaign managers directed local workers to make strenuous efforts in the next two days to ferret out indiyid- uals or corporations who have not con tributed and impress on them the tre- mendous importance of the success of the Red Cross fund.
 Every Dollar Needed.
 The need of every humanity dollar that can be collected was emphasized today by Lord Northcliffe, British war commissioner now in the United States, in letter to Henry B. F. Me Farland, chairman of the District of Columbia Red Cross finance commit tee.
 ''In wishing success and prosperity to our efforts" wrote Lord Northcliffe, "I would, as an expeT,Tneed Red Cross worker, urge caution and conservation of effort. You will need every cent you can collect, and every pair of hu- man hands you can employ. The war, in my personal opinion, gathered by much experience at the front, is but the beginning"
 Word reached here tonight that com mittees in a number of cities will re- fuse to quit work Monday night when the campaign formally closes. This prolongation of the canvass will be sought in two classes of communities those like Cleveland, on fire with enthusiasm and piling up over-sub- scriptions. and cities where for vari- ous local reasons, the campaign did not start until late this week. Atlan- ia, suffering from the recent disas- trous fire. is one of the cities of the latter class.
 Cleveland Is Star. Cleveland, which promises to be the star of the weeks performance, by noon today made its total s4,1S2 900. and passed Chicago, whose report at that hour showed S4,160,0O0. New York City's total was known to be ap- preaching $35,000.00O.
 Among the other big totals recorded at headquarters tonight were: Cincin- nati, s1.400,00; Detroit, $2,161, 900; Buffalo, S1.735,000; Pittsburg, s2,596,- 900; Boston. s2.OSs.OOO; St. Louis, ST. 465,000, and Philadelphia ,s1,232, ,0OO.
