Thomas R. Marshall Is Prin-
 cipal Speaker At Regular Weekly Luncheon yester- day; Big Audience There

America for Americans" was the theme of a short address by Vice President Thomas R. Marshall yester- day before the members of the Phoe- nix Rotary club at their regular week ly luncheon.
 With vehemence the vice-p president asserted that the time was past when foreigners would be permittd, after swearing allegiance to the United States and it's form of government, to immediately proceed to tear it to pieces. Prom such persons" declared the speaker T would take away their naturalization papers and would send them to the South Sea Islands,
 The dining room in the War Work building where the Rotary luncheons are served by the women of the Red Cross was filled yesterday in anticipa- tion of the visit of the vice-president. The overflow was served in the Red Cross Tea Room and later adjourned to the larger room for the program.
 Dr. John Dennett presided.
 The usual strain of infectious humor was ever present in the address of MT. Marshall, and he kept the aud fence in either constant laughter or applause. He declared that he con- sidered it great honor to be elected to the' Rotary club of Phoenix and facetiously referred to the fact that of "all the idle and useless officeholders, 'he had been selected to address the club that day.
 Asks Support to President
 T have been in Washington now for six years,2 said the vice presi- dent, "and for a day or two now and then have known great dignity. Occa- sionally some great commission would call on the president and then would ask to be presented to the vice presi- dent, on the theory, possibly, that they considered it an office and not Q disease.
 But during my stay in Washington I have acquired some information and have learned some of the problems that confront this country. I have 1 learned that the president, in attend ing the deliberations of the peace con gress is at no pink tea.
 Speaking for the membership of this Rotary club said the vice pres ident, q trust their loyalty to the president of the United States will continue unabated until convinced be yond a doubt otherwise. The war is over, but what of the problems of peace? Patriotism means so many diff ferent things to so many different people. There was a time when l could subscribe to the toast of Phillip ! Decatur My country, right or wrong ! But that time is past" He declared ] that if he was convinced his country was wrong. he would not support it.

FINANCE AND MARKETS

NEW YORK, March 21.-One popu- lar issue, United States Steel, dom mated today's stock market, removal Of the long existing uncertainty over prices giving a tremendous impetus to the entire list of industrials.
 Other speculative favorites joined the advance. Rails and metals Jagged until the final hour, when they re- sponded to the general buoyancy.
 The demand for United States Steel was on a scale unequalled since its last boom, one commission house alone having buying orders for 100, 900 shares At an enormous advance of Az points to 99B, steel contributed about 40 pc rcent of the days total. There was widespread feeling that the outcome of the Washington con- ference would go far to restore con- fidence as the new price schedule bears pertinently on many lines of industry. In the excitement caused by heavy trading in steel only local attention was paid to the further yagaries of foreign exchange, the do nestle money market and the New York railway companies, and transac- tions again weakened s In the main, final prices appf&

SHERIFF GIVES CITY
 FINE GOLDEN EAGLE

X splendid golden eagle one of the finest ever brought in captivity from southwestern mountains, according to experts. was yesterday formally pre- sentcd to the city of Phoenix by Sheriff John Montgomery.
 The presentation was made through City Manager Avery Thompson, who today has the bird problem added to his sufficiently numerous city cares IL is probable that disposition of the matter will be made through the erec- tion of a suitable cage for the great bird on the city plaza grounds. It may be, indeed that the coming of the eagle will mean the beginning of a city zoo logical garden. featured with the as- semblage of wild birds and animals native to the state.
 The bird is truly splendid specimen of its kind and as a city possession will have exceptional value for the plaza. The sheriff personally made it's capture in a mountain range on his ranch in the Skull valley country.

 "All my life,' said Mir. Marshall, "l have been fighting against those who want special privileges. From this time forward, so far as l am con- cerned, there is going to be no one In this country who is, not an American citizen.
 Don't think you are going back stated the speaker, "There is going to be a more equal distribution of wealth than ever in the past. Get together, was the final injunction to the Rotar- ians by the president, "get to- gether and make men of every citizen and American citizens of every man in the Salt River Valley.
 "The city of Phoenix is losing out because she has insufficient hotel ac- commodations," was the statement of Mr. Marshall at the conclusion of his address. He mas told that a new ho- tel was now being financed in this valley.
 Speaks For New Hotel
 The vice-president referred to the campaign now on in this city to raise a fund of s7,009 for the support of the local Y. W. c. A., and besought the support of the Rotarians to such a worthy object. He declared that 1t was his intention to make a subscrin- ton before leaving the room. Mrs. Marshall he reminded the audience, was honorary president of the Wash ington Y. w. C. A.
 Mrs. Powell, an official of the Pa cific coast division of the Y..W w. c. A., spoke briefly at the meeting, pointing out the great work done by the or ganization in this city for the working girls and asked the Rotarians to sub- scribe literally to the fund which she said was now about half raised

EXORbITANT BID VAS ACCEPTE BY COMMISSION
Contract For Legal Printing
 At Rate ne-Third Higher Than Next Bid Is Ignored
 By Present Commission

In the course of reorganizing the business of that department and revo- lutionizing the methods which have prevailed for more than a year pre- vious to January of this year, the commission of state institutions has been getting rid of lot of dead wood and has put the business of the de- partment on a business basis.
 The first thing it did was to investi- gate the eXtravagant purchases of ma terials that had been made-in quan titles far beyond the needs of the state and without regard to market prices. As fast as possible it has disposed of these legacies from the old commission.
 Among the things the new commis- sion found was an arrangement for publishing the proceedings of the com mission, with a weekly newspaper at q rate 33 1-S per cent higher than bids on file for the same work by The Arizona Republican. In this instance more than that percentage would have been saved the state as the body type of The Republican is smaller. so that less space would be charged against the state.
 In correction of this extravaganza of the old commission, the present com mission recently adopted the following resolution:
 Won't Recognize Contract
 WHEREAS, it appears that in Sep tember, 1918, this Commission received bids from different newspapers for publication of it's proceedings, and it appears that no proper action has heretofore been taken upon said bids by the Commission. and
 WHEREAS, it appears that Dun bars Weekly asserts contract rights under which it claims to have been awarded contract to publish the pro- ceedings of this Commission up to June 30, 1919, at the sum of forty cents per inch per insertion;
 WHEREAS, it appears from the files and records of this Commission that Dunbar's Weekly was not the lowest bidder for such publication, and no reason appears from the records of this Commission supporting any con- tract now claimed by it.
 THEREFORE, be it resolved that the present Commission refuse to rec ognize any claim or right in Dunbar s Weekly to publish the proceedings of this Commission, and further resolved that the Commission enter into ar engagements with the Arizona Repub- lican for the publication of the pro- ceedings of this Commission, provided that such arrangement can be made at the rate ofthirty cents per inch per insertion, for publication to be made in type not larger than the ordinary body type used in printing that paper set solid, the arrangement so made to continue until further action of the Commission.
