CHURCH FED. |S. FUR PROHIBITION. .A5 WAR MEASURE
Resolution Adopted Urging Congress Not To Rescind War Order As Requested By Wilson

The Church Federation of Phoenix has gone on record against the repeal of wartime prohibition by the adop- tion unanimously of the following resolution at the luncheon of the club yesterday:
 Whereas: Peace has not yet been declared; the demobilization of our forces is proceeding; the business of the country is in the midst of the war reconstruction period with the conse- quent unrest and uncertainty of labor and capital; and.
 Whereas: About half the human race is living on the verge of starva- ton, or actually perishing for need of food and looking to the United States to save it from perishing; therefore. Resolved, Thatwe not only request congress to refuse to grant the recom- mendation of President Wilson for the repeal of war time prohibition against the use of foods and foodstuffs for the manufacture of wines and beers, but that we also urgently request our l senators and representatives in con- ! gress to vote for and use their utmost i endeavors to secure the speedy pass | age of any legislation necessary to the enforcement of wartime prohibition, and also the prohibition constitutional amendment which goes into effect next January; and,
 Resolved, That Judge J. H. Lang ston, President of the Phoenix Church 1 Federation, be instructed to send this request to our representatives in con- l gress and press for favorable action. (Signed)

STATE CONVENTION OF COLORED MOMENTS
 CLUBS IF INTEREST

The Arizona Federation of Colored Women's clubs held it's annual con vention in this city last week, when it went on record in favor of carrying out reconstruction work with the same hearty cooperation it, gave to war measures. At the same time the clubs will carry out the policy of the fedora tion of lending it's efforts to the uplift and progress of its people.
 Mrs. Lynn Carter, president of the federation, in her annual address called attention to the patriotic en- deavor of the members during the past strenuous season. She spoke of the splendid way in which the club women rallied to the call of Uncle Sam, doing their bit in Red Cross work, in buying bonds, and campaigning for funds for war activities. Mrs. Carter thanked the officers and club members for the support she received as chairman of the organized body of women.
 Mrs. P. R. Mccullough read a we'll prepared paper on Reconstruction" in which she pointed out that the world is doing things only by united forces. She advised the club women to bear this in mind and unite in all efforts for the greater development during this period of reconstruction development in all branches of knowledge.
 Mrs. Scott, wife of Chaplain Scott of the Tenth cavalry, was among the speakers. giving an inspiring address on club activities of colored women at the various places she has visited Mrs. F. H. Alexander of the "Sojourn Truth Home Of Los Angeles, told of the work being accomplished by club women of California
 Mrs. Roy Lucas contributed a paper on the Benefits to Be Derived from Federated Clubs" touching upon the subject of domestic art. In this con- nection it was interesting to note that the Second Baptist church, where the gathering was held, was hung in speci- mems of the fine needlework of the club members. A handsome crocheted bedspread, made by Mrs. Lilly Wig gins attracted particular attention, and there. were other excellent ex- amples of handwork on display.
 The musical features of the program rendering a charming violin number and the bass solo by James Mullen was another pleasing number.
 Greetings from the president of the Northwestern Colored Women's clubs and from Mrs. George White. first president of the Arizona Federation of Colored Women's clubs, who now re- sides in Los Angeles, were read.
 The only outside speaker was Mrs. Joseph Stark of the woman's club, who discussed the importance of unity and harmony in all club work.

 FUR SE|DEL INJURIES

A verdict of s25oo for the plaintiff. George Seidel, was rendered by the jury late last night in the damage case brought against the Lightning Delivery company of this city.

JOIU, entering lile iOOu u Asd'i
Chunder, glanced about. Under each
OF the four corbels that supported the
roof beams a motionless, statuelike
Hindu stood. Even to the sharp eyes
of the incomer the figures seemed to
be integral parts of the wall, so per-
fectly did their brown bodies and cos
tunes match the place. AS the door
closed behind him, Davis stepped be-
fore the fakir and addressed him
sternly.
"Ram Chunder." The Hindu bowed.
"What were you doing at the Mac
kenzie hotel last night. Ram strewed
a handful of incense in a bowl be-
fore an idol.
The Sahib mistakes. was not at
any hotel. Last night I communcd
with the gods. Behold"
With an expression Of disbelief and
disgust, John drew forth the batteries
and piece of paper.

tmposter-a pariah. Will not the
Sahib sit and listen to his servant ex-
plain?'
Thrown off his guard by the friend
linesS of the others manner and
smile, Davis complied.
The room was now heavy with in
cense. Waiting only till the white
man had seated himself in the big
chair, Ram Chunder pressed spring.
Instantly four steel bars shot out
from the upper back and lower front
Of the chair, the first two crossing
the trapped mans breast and the
other pair firmly gripping his legs.
Johns pistol had seemed to leap into
his hand at the first pressure of the
bars, and as it exploded small image
Of one of the gods fell to the floor
with a crash. RAMS escape had been
a narrow one, but John had been an
instant too late.
No sooner had the bars clamped
down upon their victim, holding him
securely, than the four living statues
stepped forward from their places
against the wall and approached the
fakir. Laying the revolver upon the
table, they stood submissively before
their master as they awaited his or
ders. Ram pointed to the shattered
idol.
''This foreign dog has blasphemed
the gods and has tried to kill their
faithful Yogi. He must de-"
At a sign from the fakir one Of the
Hindus advanced and pressed the
back Of the chair down and the front
up, so that John, still held fast by
the bars, lay as one upon a surgeons
table ready for an operation. Cross
ing his hands they bound his wrists
together. a moment later doing the
same with his legs. Then removing
the restraining levers the four men
raised the body of the helpless one,
two taking his shoulders and two his
knees. Clapping his hands, Ram mo-
toned to two more Hindus who had
silently entered at the signal.
"Gag him and wrap him firmly In
the ropes" was his command. Round
and about the prisoner they drew the
bends until he was powerless to move.
At a signal from the fakir the SIX
men raised the helpless form straight
into the air. AS they did so, SIX
other brown arms suddenly appeared
from some mysterious place in the
ceiling, and seizing the prisoner In
stantly crew him out of sight, while
the ones who had bound him again
bowed their heads in submissive ST.

after the waiter entered with his tray,
Joost Singh, following a few PAGES
behind. The waiter spoke.
sThfs foreign party says he has a
note for this apartment, Ma'am," and
at her nod the Hindu laid his mes
sage before her with a salaam.
"For the Sahib Davis" he said re-
spectfully, and turning left the room.
Hastily the girl tore the note open. 1t
read:
"If you seek to solve the mystery
Of the night, knock twice and then
once at the rear door of number n
Horton street. Your conductor will
appear and bring you before the gods
May Vishnu and silva guard you
Wondering what it could mean
whether John was again in danger
and who the writer could be, she
quickly ate a few mouthfuls and left
the apartment, hurrying lest she be
too late.
Shallum, dressed in American
clothes and on watch outside the
shop of Ram Chunder, saw Davis
drive up in taxi and hastened in
side, locking the door behind him.
Briefly he told his master Of the com
Ing Of the other man, and the fakfr,
giving Shallum rapid directions,
stepped to the inner room where the
Hawk and Spider we're.
"Siva has summoned him. He is
here" was his announcement.
Throwing their cards out Of sight
the pair arose. Ram Chunder, lead
ing them to a side of the room, opened
a sliding door by pressing on a spring,
disclosing a grating. Obeying his
wave Of command they entered, draw
ing the curtains together but leaving
a crack through which they could
both see and hear. Passing to the
other side of the room Ram Chunder
opened another concealed door, and
at the clap of his hands four Hindus
in native costume appeared. Address
ing them in a low tone he began fill.

smoke slowly commenced to arise.
While this was being done, two OF
the newcomers placed a large chair
Of teakwood at the upper end Of the
table.

announced the fakir.
Having knocked at the outer door
q number Of times and received no
response. John on the point Of turn
ing away discouraged, was confronted
by Shallum. who with low obeisance
motioned for him to enter.
Rainface, returning to the hotel,
caught a distant view Of Ethel as she
hurried on her way. Instantly he fol-
lowed her. Seeing her board troll
ley car, the Indian took the one next
behind it, standing on the front plat
form where he could look ahead.
Arriving at Number II Horton
street, the girl promptly knocked at
the door. Joost Singh appeared, and
though he was surprised to see a
woman instead of the man he expect
ed standing before him. he salaamed
and indicated that she was to go
with him.
"Where is Mr.. Davis?" she demand

spread his hands in gesture to in

Gliding that her only chance of finding
her lover was to trust herself to The

side street on foot. Rainface, who
had not lost sight of her, at once fol-
