recommended to the city commission that they considered it To the best in terests of the citizens of Phoenix that this portion of Buchanan street be closed.
 Members of the city commission were told that a separate gas plant, removed from the vicinity Of the orig inal plant, would increase the cost of producing gas, and this increased cost would have to be borne by the gas con- called upon to consider the fact that if the gas company is not permitted to use the Buchanan street site for its auxiliary plant there probably would be similar protests made against their locating at any other place in the city.
 G. w. Hershman of the Western Soil Bacteria company. T. J. Smith of the Phoenix Roofing company, J. H. Null rein of the Mulrein Plumbing Supply company. and F. F. Rich of the Rich Hardware company addressed the meeting and objected to the closing of Buchanan street They declined to consider a proposition made them that the street be reopened 100 feet south of it's present site.
 The commissioners decided that a committee of 15 should be appointed immediately to investigate and report on the matter This committee will consist of five members selected by the people in the vicinity of Buchanan street and five members appointed by the city commission. These 10 will select five other members to serve with them.

SOCIALISTS DENY
 ANY PLOT EXISTS
IRepubIican A. p. Leased wire1

CHICAGO. April 30.-Attorney Gen. eraI A. Mitchell Palmer's announce ment of 8 May day bomb plot was manufactured in his own mind" the national socialist committee announced today iD statement made public by Otto Branstetter, secretary.
 Attorney General Palmer's wide spread red plot, uncovered just before May l, is another insolent attempt to inefficient and ambitious officials to create violence and disorder that has for over 30 years been set aside by the Socialists as international labor day." the statement says.
 Tt will be remembered that a year ago, a day or two before May day, a widespread bomb plot was convenient ly discovered-a plot that never ex- isted, the alleged perpetrators of which were never apprehended by the most costly secret service in the world
 The statement charges that what ever disorder may occur tomorrow will have been caused by the insane and criminal discovery of MT. Palmer's dime novel plot" and advises socialists to carry out their plans for meetings and parades. The socialist party" it says, "calls upon it's comrades every where to refuse to be stampeded by the anarchistic outburst of Mir. Palmer to the violent outbreak that>he is try ing to provoke in his desperate cam paign for the presidency"

Forced Civil Retirements
Opposed by President
He Asks for Interpretation to
Protect Employees Who Are
Able to Continue Work

WASHINGTON, July 17.-President
Wilson is strongly opposed to the re-
tirement under the civil service re-
tirement law Of employees who have
reached the age of sixty-fve years but
who are in good physical condition and
desire to continue at worss.
Secretary Tumulty said to-day that
the President had told members of the
Cabinet of his desire that they place a
uniform Interpretation on the measure,
which becomes effective July 20 and
which some Cabinet officers have con-
strued to provide arbitrarily for re-
tirement Of employees at the age of
sixty-ave.
Pestofiice employees probably will be
more largely affected by the measure
than any other class of Federal work
ers. 1t was announced at the Post
Office Department to-day that bureau
chiefs and postmasters had been di-
rected to place before the Postmaster
General all applications of super
annuates for continuance in Office with
such recommendations as the bureau
chiefs and postmasters desired to make.

Jesse L.Lasky Home;
Barrie to Come i'm
Fall to Make Film
Famous Players Head Signs
Other English Authors
TO Write Stories for
American Production

Jssse L. Lasky, motion picture pro-
Queer. head Of tho Famous Players
Lasky Corporation. arrived from Eng
land yesterday aboard the liner Celtic,
with Mrs. Lasky. He announced that
he had made agreements with q dozen
prominent English authors TO write
original screen plays to be produced in
this country. Among the authors are
Sir James Barrie, Arnold Bennett, H. G.
Wells, E. Phillips Oppenheinl, Edward
Knoblock and Henry Arthur Jones.
Barrie will come to this country in
the fall to supervise production of
"Peter PAM" Mr.. Lasky said, and sev-
eral of the other authors will come to
the United States to supervise adapta-
tions of their works or original pro-
ductions.
Mr.. Lasky said he found British
authors more reasonable as to terms
than American writer's and added that
they received him better than their
contemporary Americans. 1t IS not the
object of Mr.. Lasky to produce British
plays by these authors. Their works,
he said, will be chiefly OF an interna-
tional character.
Mr.. Lasky asserted that the majority
of motion pictures being shown in Eng
land are American made. Native films,
he said, show decidedly poor photog-
raphy and English producers spend
only q fifth of the American cost OF
