PLAN ASSEMBLY Of
ENGINEERS Of STATE
DURING FAIR WEEK

Tentative plans for conducting a
general assembly Of all the engineers
in the state during state fair week in
November were outlined at a meeting
Of the Phoenix Engineering society,
presided over by l.. B. Hitchcock, in
the city hall last night. A report of
the committee on entertainment gave
an insight into the extensive arrange
ment this society is making for the
event. The committee has already
made arrangements with Thomas
Maddox, state engineer, for the loan
of 100 tents, which will be arranged
in model tent city on the vacant lot
next to the Womens club, which has
been donated for the purpose. This
canvas city will be erected in order to
assure accommodation for the guests
of the engineering society.
A program of lectures on topics con-
corning the local and state engineering
affairs is being arranged in conjunc-
ton with social and educational events.
There was an unexpected rush of
men connected with all branches and
phases of engineering work to avail
themselves of the opportunity to be-
come charter members of the Phoe-
nix branch of the American Associa-
ton of Engineers, and the attendance
was more than twice that Of last Mon
day, when the initial meeting was held.
Application for the national charter
will be Immediately forwarded to
headquarters 1t now has 66 sigma
lures of local engineers affixed to it,
This application will be acted upon by
the national association and if found
satisfactory will be approved and a
charter forwarded the Phoenix branch
This new organization of all repre-
sentative engineers includes the civil
mechanical, mining and electrical pro-
fessional men who are actively en-
gagged in engineering work. The per-
sonnet is the highest and viii tend to
strengthen the engineering profession
in CO. ordinating with civic and other
organizations in the advancement of
scientific construction and develop
ment.
The American Association of Engi-
neers was incorporated in 1915 under
the laws of the state of Illinois.
Its constitution provides that: 1.-THE
objects Of the association shall be to
raise the standards of ethics OF the
engineering profession and to promote
the economic and social welfare of en-
| gineers. 1t has been asked whether
or not the American Association of
Engineers is a union. 1t is not a
union, but an organization of the
same type as the United States cham
| Der of commerce, of which it is mem
| Der, or as the American Medical So
ciety, American institute of architects,
the bar association, or any other pro
! fessional organization. Labor and
capital must work hand in hand. The
engineer belongs to neither, but must
be loyal to both and assist in bringing
about cooperation
Mr.. Fritz Holmquist, chairman OF
| the entertainment committee, and Mr.
d. A. McClung, secretary, will welcome
any and all suggestions from all per-
sons who are interested in the proposed
activities of the engineering society.

Then l took my check book and /
showed him we only had $270 in the
bank, and that on that coming Satur-
day night we would owe $50 to some
Mexican cotton pickers we had on
little eight-acre patch we've got out
there. Alva never would work around
the place, except when he would take
team and harrow or work for some
body else. One time he made S76 that
way, and he kept it all himself.
We'll, 1 showed him the check book,
and I said: We need part of this money
to pay off the cotton pickers,' and he
said, Well, go borrow it from the
bank So I wrote it out, but before
signed it I was going to go down
town and get the straight of the whole
business, because 1 figured that with
this motorcycle coming in, there would
be big express bill to pay, and that
the $3.50 wouldn't be enough.
Began Shooting at Him.
Il was sittin' at the desk, and
hadn't signed the check yet. I had
been pretty sick that morning. Had
| a bemmorhage. So / didn't notice
what he was doing, and the first thing
1 knew he had gone out of the room
and he was back shootin' at me. The
first one knocked me down, and he
shot four more times. All but one
hit me.
''He had made threats lots of times
but he knew 1 was never afraid OF
him. I just figured him for blow, you
knew, and if I had been watchin'
wouldn't have got shot"
The sons side of the story, repeated
by County Attorney Laney, to whom
he made his statement. is to the eff
! feet that his father threatened to 'cave
in" his head with heavy glass paper
weight, which he said he held in his
! hand, and that he shot in self-defense
The son also stated to Mr.. Laney thai
the father had made disparaging re-
marks about his mother.
Denies Disparaeing Remarks.
This contention was anticipated by
the father in his statement yesterday
afternoon.
"All | said about my wife" he said
was that it was time for her to ge
back. She had been gone two OF
three months, and six weeks was Ions
enough. That's all said"

came out here about two years ago
from Chilhowee, Missouri. That's
about so miles southwest of Kansas
City on the Rock Island. After 1 had
been out here about four months Alva
and my wife came out, and We took
the little place where We are now.
Alva had finished the eighth grade,
and then went a couple of years in
high school and quit.
My wife is back in Chilhowee on a
visit now, but l reckon she's got the
telegram about this trouble and will
be back here today or tomorrow.
When my wife was here things went
better, for l wasn't anyway able to
exercise control over Alva, and she
was. When he would start to take the
car out to be gone all night, shed
just get in and go along, and stay
by him, AID so he had TO stay at home
to keep her from going along.
Asks Money for Motorcycle.
Since she's been gone this summer
though, he's been going out two, three
and four times week, to Mesa, Tempe
and around, filling up the car with his
crowd and saying nothing to me abou
it. was sick and couldn't in no way
interfere.
We'll, along in September Alva came
to me and said he was going to trade
his motorcycle off and that he needed
800 boot money to give. 1 couldn'
see what was wrong with the wheel h
had, and l didn't promise him thu
money right off. but he kept after me
and so promised him a hundred dol
| lars to give as boot money.
But when time came to pay tn
money, he said it was 1888. Said h
needed some extras. l told him
hadn't bargained for 1913 and that h
broke his word, but finally 1 paid hin
the S133.
Then came this day when he sho
me. Alva came to me and he said
I want $3.50
Il said What for?' ana he said h
wanted it for a motorcycle that wa
coming from the factory. I saw the
that he hadn't told me the straigh
about the whole thing, but I WASH
well and couldn't argue with him YER

.PEN|WLESS, SISTERS
END LIVES IN LAKE
Republican A. p. Leased wire1

DENVER, Colo, Oct. 13.-Penniless
and frienless, faced with election from
a local hotel because they could not
pay their room rent, two women, said
by the police to be Mrs. Thomas Loren
con Of Lisbon, Iowa, and her sister
Ethel Cook, ended their lives in Berk-
eley Lake here on October 8, the day
before Mrs. Lorenson was to have ap-
peared in a divorce in Lisbon. Their
bodies were found floating on the sur
face Of the lake today.
Identification was established by
means of letters and papers found in
their possession and in their belong
ings at the hotel. A pawn ticket for a
wrist watch showed the straits to
which the women were put before they
chose death as the easiest way out.
