NIRPLANE BRINGS
 NED RALEY HOME FUR SHORT STAY
Local Boy Arrives in City Unannounced for Short Visit with Parents; Is Part of Border Patrol

Flying a De Haviland -Four" with one-third of his propeller blades worn off by the heavy rains which he en- countered, Lieutenant Ned Raley, Phoenix boy, alighted at the state fair grounds last evening at 6:37 four hours and 31 minutes out of Fort Bliss, Texas.
 Raley stated last night that his trip is purely in the nature of visit to his parents, MT. and Mrs. E. l.. Raley of Garfield street He does not intend to do any flying. principally because he will be unable to lift the machine from the mud until the fair grounds dries out considerably and he must receive a new propeller from Fort Bliss
 The rains which he encountered were the hardest he ever had seen in several years of aviation. In fact they were so hard that his propeller blades were worn down as if a heavy fasp had been working on them. He was unaware of what was happening to them until he alighted here.
 With the exception of his father no one in the city knew Raley was on his way here. Consequently the only reception committee at the fair grounds was the parent. Considerable trouble was found in finding a guard for the machine. Raley explained last night that all the small towns in Texas have adequate landing fields, with men on hand to take care of the machines as long as they remain.
 The landing ground at the fair grounds, according to Lieutenant Ra- ley, is adequate providing the wind is from the north or south. If it is from the east or west there is liable to be some danger in alighting
 Raley, accompanied by W. L. Hasse- back, sergeant first class of the avia- ton corps, left Fort Bliss yesterday at 12:17 D. m. They arrived at Wilcox at 2:52 and were forced to remain there for two hours before they could secure an adequate supply of gasoline with which to proceed.
 With the exception of the intense rain the trip was without incident The Liberty motor negotiated the 400 miles from Fort Bliss here without effort.
 Raley first enteaad active service ir the army in 1916 when the First Art- zona infantry left for the border. He became sergeant major of the regi- ment, remaining with it until the first officers training school at the Pre- sidio, San Francisco, in May, 1917 Et then transferred from the training school to the aviation, became an in structor and has been stationed along the border since. During the war ht was an instructor at Kelly Field.
 At the present time he is adjutan of the First Pon1barduent Groun al Fort Bliss, engaged in border patro work. Raley, although enthusiastic over the aviation corps is not extreme ly strong for border life. The monoto ny is being broken at present with number of schools in bombing, wire less telephony and other courses pecu

tion on the part of the opposite sex.
 Why don't some lonesome man sug- gest way of entertaining the summer widows Goose and gander should share alike" is her complaint. Think of the poor lonely widows you could make happy by being entertained. Speak up men, show your colors. hope there is at least one kind hearted man in Phoenix
 But being a woman she left out the most important part of her letter. She neglected to sign her name, give her address, or to tell what kind or color of hair she is accustomed to wear down town.
 Identification is impossible, but in order that the women shall have jusr tice, and entertainment if they desire it her letter has been turned over to the local Pinkerton detective branch in an effort to locate her. As soon as an exact address is learned, notation to such effect will be published and one more summer romance started.

FIGHTERS STIR UP FARMERS, OBJECT
 LENGTH OF COMBAT

Word was received at the office of the sheriff yesterday from citizens living southeast of the city saying that two men had been fighting in that vicinity all forenoon and had resumed the combat in the afternoon. At first it afforded the community some mild excitement but it had grown monoton- ous and it was the consensus of opin- ion in the neighborhood that the com bat should be stopped.
 A deputy asked if the fighters were Americans or Mexicans. The reply was that it was not known and could not be at once ascertained. The men had been rolling each other about in the mud so long that their complexions and even the color of their hair was concealed.
 An officer went down to effect an armistice, but by the time he arrived the battle was over and the belligerents had disappeared.

HARRIS GETS WIRES
 FUR ADJUTANT GEN'L

Assistant Attorney General Louis B. Whitney yesterday gave out an opinion that all telegrams addressed to the adjutant general of the state belong to Charles W. Harris, Hunt appointee to that office. MT. Whitney based his opinion on a previous opinioin of At torney General Jones to the effect that Harris is the >,e facto adjutant general of the state.
 The opinion was written at the re- quest of the manager of the Western Union Telegraph company.
 In his letter Whitney states that telegrams in which the name of Wal ter s. Ingalls, is mentioned, belong to Adjutant General Ingalls,.
 The opinion is as follows:
 Replying to your favor of the 30th ultimo., in which you ask for an opin- ion as to who is the present adjutant general of the state of Arizona, permit us to say that there is a suit pending in the superior court of Maricopa county, for the purpose of determining the true status of Charles W. Harris and Walter S. Ingalls,, rival claimants to that office.
 MT. Harris is holding and claiming his right to the office under an opinion rendered by this office in 1917.
 Charles W. Harris came into the possession of the office of adjutant general lowfully, in the first instance, and is still in possession of that office together with all the records and other paraphernalia pertaining to same hence I take it he is de facto officer and as such entitled to receive any telegrams addressed to the adjutant general of Arizona; of course, this excludes any telegrams that may be personally addressed to Walter s. h. gals, whether the official title of ad | jutant general follows his name ol not. Whether MT. Harris or MT. In gals is the de facto officer, is fol the courts to determine"

Complaint Voiced By Summer
 W3dOW, Too Much Done For Men

Although a census of Phoenix has not been taken this summer and no one seems to know the approximate number of summer widowers running loose hereabouts, there are evidently not enough to cope with a serious situ- ation.
 The Republican is in receipt of a let ter of complaint from a lonely summer widow. Heretofore a summer widow in Phoenix has been almost as scerce as summer widower have been plenti- ful. According to the lonely widows letter the situation is indeed serious Everything is being done to show the men with wives on the coast a good time, but the women with husbands no one knows where are left alone out in the nice warm sunshine.
 She does not complain that she is not having good time, but rather insinuates that the absence of friend husband is somewhat of a relief, but she does complain of lack of atten-

Riverside Park


 With the big pool at Riverside park emptied and thoroughly scrubbed and cleaned again last night, and filled with fresh, heated water, it is all ready this morning for bathers.
 The novel arrangement of the auxi- liary heater and the plunge makes this non delay method of cleaning and re- filling the pool possible, and it is prov- ing quite hit with the users of the big plunge.
 The dance at the pavilion will occupy the attention this evening. The popular Riverside orchestra will again be on hand to furnish the same sort of music which has been responsible for their jumping into first place in the estima- ton of the dancers of the city, in a re- markedly short time. Each member of the organization is musician, thoroughly capable of producing dance music, and the result is real dance music, jazz style, not just bunch of noise
 The concessions, running all the time, furnish no end of amusement for the assembled crowds, and are one of the big features of the most popular amusement spot in the valley.
