during the sale. He carried closely
clutched under his arm an old leather
bag. He scrambled up past the auc-
tioneer and took seat where he could
hear and see everything that tran
spired. 1t developed later that the bag
he carried close up under his arm was
filled with gold which, he told one of
Mr.. Days agents, was the accumulation
Of many years.
Paid Highest Prices
Mrs. Julia Fitzgerald, who paid the
highest price for lot at the Loril-
lard Spencer auction sales, which was
held few years ago, came near being
the highest bidder at yesterdays auc-
ton. She paid $4,000 for the south
west corner of Fort Washington Ave-
nue. and 1884 Street, which was the
highest price Of the sale until the
opposite, the southeast corner of Fort
Washington Avenue and 1s3d Street,
was offered. William H. Brown paid
$l1,100 for this parcel, which is five
feet wider than the corner bought by
Mrs. Fitzgerald. Mr.. Brown also
bought the lots adjoining on Fort
Washington Avenue, paying $1,000 for
the parcel next to the corner. Mrs.
Fitzgerald also capitalized her pur-
chase by adding to ,he plot the parcel
adjoining it on Fort Washington Ave-
nue., paying $4,000 for the site. The
difference between these valuations in
dicates the character of the bidding,
which was entirely in the hands of in
vestors or those who are speculating
on the good prices from builders, be-
cause it is the only property Of the
kind available for development to-day.
Didn't Know a Good Thing
When bids were asked for the north
west corner of Bennett Avenue and
184th Street, Mr.. Day thought he
heard $500 bid, and knocked down
the lot on that single offer. But the
buyer refused to sign the terms. de-
claring he had bid only $3,500. Later
the corner was put up again, bringing
$500. AS the auctioneer said "Gone,"
another bidder offered $4,000.
B. A. Duis, manager of the foreign
exchange department Of the National
City Bank, was one Of the successful
bidders at the sale. Mr.. Duis bought
triangular parcel formed by Fort
Washington and Northern avenues and
18th Street. 1t is watch charm,'
Mr.. Day said, and the man from the
bank agreed with him that it has a
good future and outbid all others for
it. He secured it for $1,000.
That the best prices prevailed dur
ing the early period of the sale was
indicated when properties had to be
resold to straighten out misunder-
standings. For instance, two lots on
Bennett Avenue which brought $4,10o
each in the first hour of the sale
brought only $4,000 each when put up
several hours later. Then the old
Bennett stable, which had been turned
into a studio by George G. Bernard,
was bought by woman with the three
lots it covers for $4,000. Mr.. Day
had to offer the house a second time,
this time late in the evening, when 1t
brought only $4,000. A loss Of $1,4oo
was the result Of the resale Of the old
house on Magaw Place. It brought
$500 when first put and only $5,40r
the second time.

HINT OF ACTION AGAINST MEN 1T
 MAR|COPA BAR
Meeting Of Association Is
 Called For Monday When It Is Expected Sensation al Charges Will Be Made

Recommending that concerted action of lawyers of the best class" be di- rected against "shyster'' practice, J. E. Nelson, secretary of the Arizona Bar association, has called a meeting of the association for Monday afternoon.
 In this notice to the members of the bar, Nelson charges that the profession has come into disrepute, claiming that ethics seem to have no place in the scheme of things" In this connection the secretary declares that the practice of law bids fair to become a money grubbing occupation in this state.
 It is understood that certain attor- neys in this city have come into dis favor with members of the bar, and there are rumors of disbarment. Whether or not such drastic step will be taken can only be surmised, but the meeting, which will be held in Judge Stanford's court room, will un- questionably bring out sensational ar gument. Members of the Northern Arizona Bar association will be repre- scented in large numbers and have sig niffed that they will take part in the discussion.
 That the legal profession in Ari zona has lost the high standard it pos sessed in the territorial days is another complaint of the secretary, who urges the members to make better record. | Nelson's letter to the bar follows: Gall for Meeting
 "The regular annual meeting of the | Arizona Bar association will be held in the courtroom of division No. l of the superior court for Maricopa county on Monday, the 18th day of January, | 1919.
 "There are a number of important matters to come before the meeting, | and it is incumbent upon every mem 1 Der of the association who can possibly do so to be present Heretofore very little interest had been evidenced in | the association by its members, and the results are anything but pleasing to contemplate. The practice of the | law in Arizona bids fair to become a mere money-grubbing occupation.
 Ethics seem to have no place in the | scheme of things. The word lawyer is fast becoming term of opprobrium
 instead of one of the highest respect
 This condition can be remedied, but
 only by concerted action on the part
 of lawyers of the best class, and only
 through the medium of an association | of lawyers. This association we have but it can be no stronger than the support given it by it's membership This support has not been forthcoming
 during the past two years, and it is hoped that a better record will be made this year.
 Let us get together and bring the
 profession back to the high standard it set in territorial days, the equal
 of any bar in the country.
 Please notify me at the above ad- dress whether or not you can be pres | ent Yours very truly,
 J. c. NELSON, l Secretary Arizona Bar Association.
