ACCOMMODATED A|RPLANE MAKES
 MAIDEN FLIGHT
Machine Owned by South
 west Cotton Go. On Suc- cessful Trip to Plantation
 Towns Il One Passenger

The first regular flight of the first commercial airplane ever owned in the Salt River valley was completed yes terday on schedule time and without even an indication of a mishap when Lieutenant o. J. Johnson, with Guy P. Nevitt for a passenger, took his first round trip from Phoenix to Litchfield, thence to Goodyear and back to Phoe- nix, thus going for the first time over the triangle that is to be the daily route of the plane after all arrange ments for landing grounds have been completed.
 The plane is the property of the Southwest Cotton company, and is to be used as a fast passenger and mail service carrier between the main office and the two big plantations of the company.
 Yesterday morning the airplane, pi- loted by Lieutenant Johnson, the of ficial airman for the Goodyear com pany, with the company attorney, Guy P. Nevitt, as an interested first time'' passenger. took off from the fair grounds at 7:30 o'clock and almost be- fore they had gotten started had gone down the valley, circled 15 miles below Litchfield, swung back, and landed at the ground prepared at Litchfield. Breakfast was ready for them at the "Wigwam," and immediately after breakfast, they rose again and headed for Goodyear.
 Company Attorney Likes It
 No landing was made at Goodyear for the reason that the field was not completely ready, but the plane circled "a q o nd 4har ha PI- tO Phoenix, circled the office of the con- pany, and landed again at the starting point.
 Well" said Mr. Nevitt collectively and with quite a judicial manner, q liked it. It was the smoothest ride ever had. Someone had ironed out al the bumps in the road and the going was fine.
 There was one thing I did not par ticularly care for though, and that was | signing the realease and writing dowr who to notify in case of accident ol death. Made me feel sort of creepy though I knew, or at least I thought and now am sure, that riding the winC | is just as safe as any other sort O. | navigation.
 q did feel sort of queer, too, wher ] Johnson shit off the engine right ove the capitol so he could ask me wher,
 in the Sam Hill was the Yuma road Thought something might have hap | pened, and told him there was a nic
 handy graveyard right down ther where he could land if he needed to He didn't need to, however, for sh started up with a roar when he threy
 on the switch, and We went righ

 Condemn Move
 Phoenix. organizations took a hand in the fight yesterday when the Rotary club passed a resolution in the matter, and with other business and civic bod ies organized a committee to look into it.
 Commenting on this action of the Rotary club, S. E. Jordan of Jordan and Grace, stated that it was his be- lief that, while they wanted the ob- structions removed as quickly as pos sible, and greatly appreciated the ac- tion of the club and the general public interest and sympathy, as evidenced by their streams of callers and the matter published by the papers, he believed the thing to be sought now was speed in the setting and dispo- sition of the case, not a dismissal.
 Whoever had this suit instituted has thrown a doubt on the title of the property and it will now have to be cleared up, and to fight this suit and get it disposed of as soon as possible is the best possible method. We are not in the least worried about the outcome of the suit, nor that Lour packers will stand by us, but we are anxious to see the matter settled 1 as soon as possible.
 i Committee to Investigate Both MT. Grier and myself will be 1 leaving for Chicago the last of the week, Mir.

"The Fire FIingers" at Columbia


 +'The Fire Fingers" adapted to the screen from William J. Neidig's story of the same name in the Saturday Evening Post-one of that magazines most successful pieces of fiction-is the feature film being offered at the Co., lumbia theater for the last times today.
 Richard Hatton and Chris Cotteril, released from prison determine never to violate the law again. They apply in a printing plant for work and are put at the presses. But their employer, Olwell, is informed by the police as to the mems career. Cursing them, he drives them forth. The men apply at Olwelrs home for food and Winifred Olwell, the printers wife, gladly satis- fies them. Her husbands brute temper and mistreatment of her have long since killed all her love for him. That very day Olwen plans to elope with his steographer and he returns to his home to shave away his beard.
 He discovers the men there and brutally attacks them, felling Hatton with cruel blow on the head. As he rushes at Cotteril he steps aside and the fiend drops to the floor after crashing into the brick of the fireplace. They find him dead. When Cotteril makes the discovery that Hatton is the duplicate of the dead man, the imposi- ton is made complete. And Winifred grows again to love her husband until one day Hatton, despite his great love for her, tells her all. And it is not for the woman to turn the man she loves back to prison.
 A Strand comedy is the augmenting feature for today only.

CAMPAIGN OPENED TO
 CLEAN UP PLEDGES
 UNITED WAR WORK

State headquarters for the united war work campaign have launched their final cleanup campaign in Ari zona to collect all unpaid pledges. The national headquarters have instructed the state organizations to make every effort to collect 100 per cent of the amount pledged last November by the end of the month. All pledges unpaid then will be turned over to the na- tional organization. State Director J. O. SeXson is mailing to every sub scriber who has not paid his pledge in full a letter urging prompt pay ment. Later collectors will call upon subscribers who do not respond
 Arizona has paid in 96 per cent of it's pledges, but there has been only one county, Santa Cruz, to go over the top with 100 per cent payment of pledges. Maricopa county is lowest in the state.
 With the letters being mailed out are enclosed copies of letters from President Wilson, General PerMing and Governor Campbell, all of whom give their whole hearted support to the idea that all pledges should be paid to keep the American war record clean and in the words of General Pershing, 50 that the work of these societies with the army in France may be continued to the end" In General Pershing's letter he states that of the welfare societies joined in the united war work campaign, all with the eX ception of the war camp community service are continuing their helpful work with the American expeditiouary force. But this does not infer in any way that the war camp community service has discontinued it's helpful activities here in the United States Although the war may be said to be over, the army is only a little more | than half demobilized and the impor- | tance of the community services worl | has been increased since they have un- dertaken to aid the service men ever after they have been demobilized There is a branch in Phoenix, although there are no military forces stationed here.
 The other warfare organization! sharing in the funds derived from tht united war work campaign, incorpo rated, are the Knights of Columbus | (national Catholic war counciD, th' Jewish Welfare board, the American Library association, the Y. M. c. A the Y. W. C. A. and the Salvation army

MOvE QUICK TO END KN|F|NG 1T
 HOTEL PROJECT
Immediate Hearing of Peti- ton for Restraining Order Will Be Asked - Public
 Indignation on Increase

New developments in the situation precipitated by the suit of Jim Murphy to restrain the transfer of the Central school block for a site for the new mil lion-dol hotel came thick and fast yesterday, but the names of those who are believed to be backing Murphy are not yet revealed.
 George H. Spellmire, manager for Rabbit Brothers of Williams, and one of the men named in the suit, arrived in Phoenix and immediately started things going toward getting quick ac ton on the suit.
 Spellmire, himself an attorney of considerable experience, retained Judge R. E. Sloan to represent the interests ly thereafter issued a statement in regard to the matter.
 There is absolutely nothing to this case" he said, but an effort to ob- struct progress. It may be that the people back of this thought that we would allow the matter to lapse, but they are on the wrong track. Jordan and Grace have done some good work on this matter and we will back them up to the limit.
 Sure to Win Suit
 "As to winning the suit, there is nothing to it at all. Every decision is with us, the obstructionists have not a. leg to stand on. We will beat them. The whole thing has all the earmarks of deliberate attempt on the part of interested parties to delay and thereby damage the project. They were care ful not to ask a temporary restraining order and thus get it disposed Of at once; they asked a permanent order only, and expect to have the thing come up for hearing in September. It will be all over and the hotel under | way by that time.
 Tt is a selfish attempt on the part of a few people to turn all the water | into their own canals and prevent their neighbors from getting any, does not and will not succeed
 Judge Sloans office yesterday au- thorized The Republican to state for them that they would ask for an i'm mediate hearing before Judge Stan ford, and would appear before the court today to ask for the earliest pos sible date. The statement was made l that while none of the defendants had been served in the case, that they would, nevertheless, in a matter like

JULY PROMISES RECORD MONTH
 CITY BUILDING
Unprecedented Rush Does Not Slacken-Permits for $15,000 in Homes Issued
 During Past Three Days

The building rush in Phoenix did not slacken pace in the second week of July. especially the building of homes. During the last three days, permits have been issued by the city building department to the total valuation of nearly S15,000 for residences alone, and this without many small items repre- senting additions and repairs.
 From the showing on the city rec ords, July is going to see a record con- struction mark for the building of homes in the city. Private individuals and real estate firms alike are going into the new game of home building, and it is a rare day when no permit is issued by the city for the building of bran new residence in some part of town.
 No Day Missed
 Wednesday, Thursday and Friday of This week were just as active in home building projects as past weeks have been July S, the Home Builders oE tainsd permits for the erection of two brlck residences at 1117 and 1121 East Brill street, respectively and each to cost S2,460, according to the plans. J. A. Griffin is named in the permits as owner.
 Thursday, July g. saw even more business. That day a permit was granted John Connors, owner for the construction of a brick residence at 320 East Polk street. Its cost was esti- mated at S1650. The same day Home Builders obtained another permit, this time for a S445O brick residence at 703 East Moreland street. F. D. Price was given as owner.
 All Industries Feel Pace
 Yesterday the pace in home building was still being kept up, although in mid afternoon only one permit of con- sequence had been issued. This was to E. L. Johnson for the erection of a brick residence at 755 East Culver street, and it's cost was set at an even S300O.
 With the unprecedented rush in con- struction work of every kind, every body seems to be well satisfied. Brick dealers, lumber dealers, plumbers, con tractors, carpenters are getting their share of the work, while the prospect i've residents are getting their homes and prospective business concerns and present ones, new places of business It is becoming impossible to travel a few blocks in any direction in any part
