X. IF ?. INITIATION HELD IMPRESSIVELY
 GT DESERT OUTING

It will be many months before the members of the Valley lodges of the Knights of Pythias will forget the wonderful outing and barbecue staged by Phoenix and Tempe lodges last Fri day evening.
 Something over one thousand peo- pie, including the families of the Knights, drove two miles southwest of Yaqui Village, where three large veal had been barbecued by the famous Barbecue Kid" Scott, together with bread, pickles and good coffee made over the camp fire
 After the meal had been served, the ladies were taken in charge by the en- tertainment committee headed by Jack Williams, who retired with them to q spot previously prepared by members of Tempe lodge, where different sports were held and small cash prizes given to winners.
 i Several returned soldiers entertained 1 the ladies with short talks about their i experiences in the trenches of France.
 Members of the order retired to an open air castle hall several hundred yards further up the canyon where chairs and pedestals had been arranged and in the beautiful moonlight thirteen l Esquires were initiated into the mys- teries of the rank of Knight.
 In the soft moonlight with the Japa- nese lanterns aglow which furnished
 additional light and the outer guards
 who had been thrown out a great dis. tance from the scene of action, attend. ing bonfires and the members Of the
 degree teams doing better than evel
 before, the beautiful and impressive work of the rank Of knight was neve1 so well done.
 l The conferring of this degree on tn,
 desert was perhaps the first time in tn,
 history of the order. Never before il
 the life of the local lodges has suci
 elaborate preparations for the enter
 tainment of it's members been under taken. The wonderful success of tn ! undertaking has prompted the mem bers to make of this affair an annua ? celebration

WELL KN()VVN YOUNG PEOPLE ARE MARRIED

Miss Florence Margaret Faust and Earl J. McMullen were married at the home of the bride, 1102 East Fillmore street, yesterday afternoon by Rev. John K. Reed, pastor Of the Grace English Lutheran church. The ring ceremony was used. About one month ago the brides mother and brother were married at double wedding.
 The bride was dressed in blue tray- cling suit, with hat to match, and car ried Cecil Bruner roses. The groom is manager of the Rabbit Brothers used car department, and the bride, until re- gently, was connected with the office of the Chambers Transfer company. Both of the contracting parties are well known in Phoenix and have a host of friends.
 MT. and Mrs. McMullen motored to Peoria after the ceremony to take the train for Los Angeles, where they will enjoy their honeymoon. Those who witnessed the wedding were the irn- mediate relatives and a few intimate friends of the young couple. Refresh ments were served after the ceremony,

ARMY WANTS MEN FUR
 SERVICE IN FRANCE

The war is over but the army still needs men for service with the expe- ditionary forces in France. A chance for the men who did not get to see ac- tive service to change their silver stripes to gold and at least see the historic battlefields is contained in an appeal just sent out by the army re- cruiting service. The appeal follows:
 Come across, boys, come across. The war is over in regard to actual fighting, but the work of reconstruction has just begun. If you have served your coun- try faithfully, but on account of hard luck did not get across, now is your chance to do your bit over there. Re- place your silver chevrons with gold Thousands of men who have borne the brunt of battle from the Marne to the Argonne want to come home to see their families and sweethearts so it's up to the boys over here to make this possible by enlisting for A. E. F. ser vice in the [. s. Army.
 Of course things are a bit slow. Heine no longer comes over in his wide open. The little surprise attacks at dawn are but a memory. Neverthe- | less you can get chance to visit the
 H anu ueliOIisleu loWnS and figure out for yourself the fights l of bygone days.
 i The chow has changed. No more do you have to live on corn willie, gold fish and hard tack. After the first of July, France and Germany will still be
 wet. All the smokes you want at the 1 lowest prices.
 Our dollar is worth 5 francs in | French money and 80 marks in Ger many money. Remember that s3S is a
 big salary over there. Instead of get ting $33, you get 330 marks and 330

 How it Happened
 Numerous stories of the shooting came into Phoenix last night, but as near as can be determined the murder ook place at the city jail in Tempe just after the prisoners had been taken 10 supper.
 The city marshal, Chester Cummins, had taken four Mexicans, Rios among them, to a restaurant to supper. All four had been convicted of some minor pffense and sentenced to jail.
 At about the same time the marsha returned with the prisoners. the night 'vatchman, Albert Kettle, arrived al inc jail with another Mexican, whom he had just arrested.
 According to a statement made b3 ummins last night, he had orderee he Mexicans into their cells, and they had not compiled with the order. Il, stepped forward to put them in. wheI one of the Mexicans struck him with piece of iron or some sort that h had in some way secured. He Wa knocked down and partly stunned.
 The Shooting Starts
 Kettle, the night watchman. accord Ing to the marshal's story, stopped t pick him up, and Rios slipped up be hind, grabbed his gun from the holste and fired point blank at Kettle wit his own gun.
 Kettle was in a stopping postio and the shot striking him in the back ranged upward and lodged Inc lac of the head The Mexican instant fired another shot. probably directe at either Cummins or Nettle but struck another of the MeZicans. killin

 The Capture
 Stories of the capture differ. Indig- nation ran high, and a large number of citizens armed themselves and took up the search for the murderer and his pals.
 According to the sheriffs office, Rios Was found hiding in a barn near the Temua Normal by a citizen, A. \. smith, and Special Officer Estrado. The gun with two empty chambers was found hidden in the same barn. l Fearing that the Mexican might come to harm at the hands of the angry citizenry, the captors secured a car and drove rapidly to Phoenix with 1 their prisoner, where he was lodged ir l the county jail for safe keeping. l He seemed cool and collected, and not particularly concerned, when seen aU the jail last night by representa- 1 tive of the Republican.

PRINCE MAX TELLS OF EVENTS
LEADING TO FALL OF KAISER
Says He Warned Army Command of
Danger of Collapse.

Berlin, Aug. 11.-Prince Max of
Baden, former imperial chancellor,
publishes a detailed account of events
leading up to the kaisre's abdication.
He begins with October and ends
with November 8. Prince Max says
he takes this step rather than wait
rs he would have preferred until
some international matters are set
tied, because his adversaries make
a longer silence impossible to him.
The immediate occasion of his
declaration is the account of the pro-
ceedings of November published
by the Berlin Tages Zeitung on July
IT and vouched for by Field Marshal
Won Hindenburg and other generals
and Admiral Won Hintze.
Prince Max says he and others,
including former foreign minister,
trade union leaders, parliamentary
ians, learned men and one of the best
known of the great industrial lead
ers, warned the supreme army COM
mand before and during the great
offensive that a psychological catas
trope and collapse of the home front
would take place if the promise of
peace and victory were not fulfilled.
These warnings were disregarded,
but the psychological catastrope
would not have come with such a
terrific force but for the mistake of
Gcrmany's prccipitate offer of an
armistice.
Prince Max says that on Novem-
Der 8 telephone message said the
kaiser had decided to abdicate and
that the formula would be received
in half an hour. Prince Max says
there was no question in the tele-
phone conversation of November 8 F.,
of the kaiser's abdication only as the
kaiser and not as king of Prussia.
Things in Berlin were developing
ever more in favor of a revolution.
Prince Max saw himself confronted
by the alternative either to wait and
do nothing or to act on his own re-
sponsibility, and says:
81 know l was formally not justi-
fed in proceeding to publication
without a declaration of agreement
by the kaiser, but regarded it was
my duty to make known the kaiser's |
resolution while it still had any
meaning. l was fully aware of the
gravity of my responsibility when
sent the announcement to the Wolff
bureau"
The prince says last desperate
sttempt was made to prevent revo-
luton and give constitutional so
luton to the crisis. II failed because |
it came too late. He throws respon-
sibility first upon those who on al
legged military grounds caused the
kaiser to proceed on October 20 toI

Just as they are in Chicago. The

make them be modest in New York.
