COUNTY OFFICIALS ID INTERVIEW NOSE
 GIBSON THIS WEEK

Sheriff Montgomery will leave this afternoon for the northern part of the state on official business. He will then proceed to Los Angeles, where he will be joined by l.. M. Laney, county att torney who probably will leave Phoe- nix Thursday. At Los Angeles they will get in touch with Sheriff Jackson, who will accompany them to Sai. Quentin. where they will endeavor to verify the confession of Nose Gibson, the negro who says he murdered Mr. and Mrs. Jacob Erhardt.
 Gibson has been sentenced to hang on September 24 for the murder of Roy Trapp, a Fullerton, Cal. rancher, on the night of July l. Deputy Sheriff from his vacation at Los Angeles, at tempted to question Gibson in the jail at Los Angeles, but the negro. Mir. Troutman said. refused to talk and would not answer the question asked as to whether he had ever been in Phoenix. Gibson was suspected of be- ing the slayer wanted in Phoenix be- cause of the similarity of the Trapp and Erhardt crimes.
 Gibson made his confession as he entered the ferry building in San Francisco enroute to San Quentin in the custody of Sheriff Jackson. Gib- son said that he had murdered an aged couple in Phoenix but did not know their names. According to Deputy Troutman, nothing was said to Gibson in Los Angeles about the Erhardt murder. This fact makes it appear that the negro must have had some thing to do with the crime because of his knowledge of the manner in which it was accomplished. He told Sheriff Jackson he had killed them with { hammer, striking the man first

 1t Rooms Tn the Summer
 Just as the clothing stores push um- brellas and rubbers to the front when it looks like rain, ice boxes and ice cream freezers are prominently dis played in store windows here as soon as the summer begins to get & rise out of the thermometers. A great deal of Phoenix people make their own ice cream and soft drinks. No statistics on the manufacture of more durable drinks in the can be obtained, all though it is believed that this prac- tice is a common one.
 The fact that present prices being asked for cold drinks are about double the prices of happier day, apparently has had no effect on the demand. Just as many drinks are sold now as ever, in fact the trade has increased greatly with the growth of Phoenix.
 No baseball game is complete with out the urchins who run about selling bottled goods from a basket. The fact that the empty bottles make excellent missiles to be used against an umpire is one advantage of this form of soft drink. Of course this little pleasantly with the umpire is never indulged in but the mere knowledge that it is pos sible to put the bottles to this unique use provides an incentive for pros pective purchasers.

IRISH BREACH WIpENs

DUBLIN, Aug. 3--Indlcations Of an outbreak of economic war between north and south Ireland are increasing as a result of the expulsion of Catholic workmen from shipyards and other in dustriaI concerns in the north by pro- testant workmen. Some western towns are threatening a boycott against Bel fast goods it is said. and there is danger of this policy spreading into other trades including the banking system Ulster especially fears this action, as much of the capital which supports northern industries comes from the south.
 The Irish Times points out that such boycott is quite practical, as south ern and western Ireland are better or ganized than at any other time.

Phoenicians Find Surest Pleasure In Summer In Effervescent Mixtures of Syrups Oddly Named
Sing a song of Simple Sirup, Shades of Rock and Ryels Ice Cream Sodas do the work When the country's dry.


 This is the song that is chanted by the soda jerker as he manipulates the shining devices. which produce exotic juices and extracts that are eagerly seized upon by perspiring Phoenix peo- pie as one of the best means of neu- tralizing the effects of the suns hot rays.
 In summertime Phoenix turns to soft drinks as inevitably as the proverbial long lane finally deviates from the straight and narrow. The sales of cold drinks increase about 500 per cent as soon as coats and collars are discarded. and at this time the bottling works of this city increase their production to thousands of cases month and the ice cream factories are taxed to ca pacity to supply the demand for their products.
 Many thousands of drinks are con stunned every day within the limits of the downtown business section and tons of ice cream go the same route to satisfy the municipal craving for something cold.

VOICE PROTEST ON
 PULLMAN FARE FROM
 PHOENIX ID COAST

Reduction of the Pullman fare be- tween Phoenix and Los Angeles is re- auested in letter which the chamber of commerce has just sent to l.. B. Hungerford. general manager of the Pullman company The letter points out that the Pullman fare from Phoe nix to Los Angeles is $4 while the fare from Los Angeles to San Francisco is only s3. although the distance is greater
 The letter follows:
 August 3, 1920 Mir. L. $. Hungerford. V. P. & G. M. Pullman Company, Pullman Building, Chicago, Ill.
 Dear Sir:
 We wish to call your attention to the following schedule of Pullman rates, which show that the rate from Phoenix, Arizona to Los Angeles, Cali fornia is excessive.
 Schedule of Pullman Rates
 Mileage Rate Phoenix, to Winslow, 30s $500 Phoenix to Douglas ...... 245 2.50 Phoenix to Los Angeles ..447 400 Los Angeels to San Fran cisco ASA 800 The service performed, and the length of time the car is used by the passenger, in each instance, is similar and we can see no reason why the rate from Phoenix, Arizona. to Los An geles, California, should exceed the rate contemporaneously in effect be- tween Los Angeles. California and San Francisco California. We, therefore, respectfully ask you to take steps to reduce the Phoenix-Los Angeles rate The 50 per cent increase will become effective on August 20 and we believe the adjustment should be made prior to that time.
 Your early reply is confidently ex- pected.
 Yours truly, TRAFFIC BUREAU OF THE CHAM BIER OF COMMERCE.

COWPUNCHER FINDS HOPING FISH HAS
 ITS OWN DANGERS

B. L. Fenner. formerly rancher near Chadron, Neb.. who recently has located in San Diego. had a narrow escape from drowning, and the possi- bility of repeating Jonah's experience with the whale the other day while fishing off the Coronado Islands.
 Accompanied by J. Stanley Howard of Phoenix, a visitor in the city Fem ner took a launch out to the fishing grounds for a day of sport Having read of the 40 to so pound tuna being caught in great numbers here. Fenner was first disappointed in first landing a small bonito. He hurriedly and in real cowman fashion sliped moose over the head of the fish, tied the strong cord to his leg and threw the specimen back in the water.
 Hardly had it been in the water two minutes, or reached. as Fenner puts
Arizona republican., 1920-08-04

it, "the length of the ordinary lasso rope" Fenner experienced jerk which toppIed him from his seat in the boat and almost tore his leg off below the knee. Two more succeeding and barely less vigorous jerks would have pulled the intrepid fisherman i'm to the ocean had not Howard and the boat crew come to his rescue. While Howard held Fenner, one of the crew slashed the cord and immediately aft erward a giant sea bass was seen tear ing through the water with no evil dence of the bonito anywhere, but the cord which had held it trailing in the wake of the huge sea monster.
 Fenenr now states that roping steers or even wild wolves is tame when compared with deep sea fishing. He advises fishermen to store their catches in the launch, though, as there are deep sea burglars to deprive them of their spells if left in the water.

Buckley Family Reunion.

One of the pleasant occurrences of
the summer season was recorded on
Sunday, July 4th at Sunny Valley
Stock Farm, the home of j. P. Buck
ley and family, namely family re-
union of the hostess's relatives.
The Buckley farm, eight miles north
of Mexico, was admirably situated
for the event, for Mrs. Buckley was
born and reared in this section of
Missouri, and most of her relatives
live in northeast Missouri.
The guests began to arrive Satur-
day morning and continued in a
steady stream until Sunday noon,
about which time the writer has a
hazy remembrance of someone calling
dinner, continuous passing Of fried
chicken, country ham, multitudes Of
salads, and all that go with it, to
round out a perfect repast, followed
by a course of delicious ice cream
with many plates of cake that looked
like a chain of mountains rs they
were carried in. 1t seemed like a
never ending chain.

pleasant reunion were namely: Mr.

"Y" Woman Says
Mexico Needs A
Y. W. c. A. Center

One of Mexico's greatest needs is
a Y. W. C. A., according to Miss
Clara P. Haggard, Y. W. C. A, secre-
tary of Oklahoma City, who is
spending a months vacation here.
The organization has program
which is especially made for town
this size, she says.
''The Y. w. C. A. does preventive
rather than corrective work." Miss
Haggard said, "and a branch of the
organization here would remedy many
prevailing evils"
A Young Womens Christian Asso-
citation is more vital to a community
than a Y. NJ. C. A., Miss Haggard be-
lieves. Her theory is that the
boys of community can be helped
through the girls. If the young
women have the right ideas and
ideals, the young men will also have
them.
In Oklahoma City, Miss Haggard
is one of seven secretaries for the
organization. Her particular duty is
to organize girls clubs for girls be-
tween the ages of IL and Is years.
! All of her work is in the high school
of the city and is in a certain sense,
a cross section of all the other
branches. The clubs which she or
ganizes have as their purpose the de-
velopment of Christian ideals. They
aim to develop the girl physically
mentally and spiritually.
Miss Haggard took special course
of training in the National Training
School of the Young Womens Train
ing Association in New York. All Y
W. C. A. secretaries must have this
training before entering actively il
the work of the organization.
If a group of representative womer
of Mexico would advocate the estab
lishment of Y. w. c. A. here, tht
organization would send an organizel
to look over the field. However, i
would be necessary to create some
source of financial aid, as all of thS
Y. W. C. AS activities are financet
locally and not through the nationa
organization.
Miss Haggard formerly was ;
teacher of classical language in Har
din College and Mcmillan Hig
School. She is graduate of tn
University Of Missouri.
