rRepublIcan A. P. Leased Wlrel

WASHINGTON, Dec. 2S.-"Uncle Joe" Cannon, war horse of the house of representatives, today established a new American record.
 With the close of a dull house ses- sion he passed the mark for length of service set by Justin Smith Morrill, of Vermont who as senator and repre- sentative, served 43 years, nine months and 24 days The former speaker will begin tomorrow adding new time to his own record, with the hope Of reaching the ripe old age of 100, and beating Gladstones record of 53 years in the British house of commons.
 Uncle Joe's" achievement will be celebrated in the house tomorrow with Champ Clark, himself a veteran, who retires March 4, leading the speaking ceremonies. MT. Cannon also will speak and many of the older members will ask time for few remarks.
 Walking about the corridors of the capitol today chewing his long black cigar, MT. Cannon told a friend there was no use offering a little advice to younger representatives because some body else was always thinking UT smart things and attributing them to him. The remark. charged to MT Cannon. that they put spurs on the heels of army officers to keep their feet from slipping off the desk, was never uttered by him.
 'sBut what's the use?" he asked.
 Counting his victory in the recent landslide, MT. Cannon has been elect ed to congress g times. He is now ending the forty-fourth year of serv- ice. First elected in 1872, he had just kept coming to congress ever since with the exception of two bad No vembers. when his people failed to re turn him. On May ', next. he will be S5 years old. Few of his friends re- member that he was born at Guilford N. c. He served eight years as speak CT, and has been doing committee worl so long he has forgotten when hc started.
 Gladstone served 53 years in tn, British house of commons, and with good election luck. I hope to bea1 that" the former speaker said q have had four years absence I didn' ask for, and hope to reach the 53 but then you never can tell"

GRAY TELLS WHY HE
 KILLED DAUGHTERS \ ALLEGED DETRAYER

Seated on cot in the corridor of the county jail, Ava Gray, even then with the possibility of a murder charge hanging over him, made no effort to conceal the facts which led to the fatal shooting of James Nelson and the wounding of his father, as he talked to a representative of The Republican.
 q came down to Phoenix from Miami on Christmas eve by auto stage to visit my daughters. Mrs. N. l. White and Ruby Gray, who is now in the hos pital lowering between life and death. When l found out how things were I waited here until could find Nelson" !" said Gray.
 Ruby first went to Buckeye little over a year ago 10 live with her sis- ter. Mrs. White. whose husband then had a garage there. We had a large family at home and Ruby could not find employment in Miami, so she got a position in the telephone exchange at Buckeye and decided to stay there. Then her health broke down and she had to give up the work. and we urged her to come home. But she felt as though she should remain where she could earn her own living. so she stayed on at Buckeye and went to work keep ing books in Mir. Whites garage.
 T went to visit my daughters at Buckeye last spring I knew that Ruby was going with James Nelson and it was understood that they were engaged to be married. Nelson is about 24 years old and his father owns the bank and ice plant and considerable real estate in the Buckeye country.
 When Mir. and Mrs. White moved fir to Phoenix, Ruby came home to Miam to get her clothes ready and prepare for the wedding We had no idea al home that anything was wrong. Sht returned to Phoenix and was to hay, beed married to Nelson here. The day she arrived he left town. driving hi! automobile through to California.
 After Ruby had told about her con dition. and had sworn out a warran for Wilson's arrest the officers located Ahinf insTarloclS, Calif.. and brought hin back here. He was arraigned and re leased on bail and the officers though that he would marry Ruby rather thai face trial. but he refused to do SC 'sTstby broke down under the desperat nervous strain and was taken to tn hospital for ar operation.
