CHANGE AS TO JOHNSON

The general was given the silent
treatment at the committee meeting
National committeeman Of the dyed
in-thc.wool stripe would meet you
with Il perfect baby stare and say
who IS Gen. Wuod?' They would
assure you he had no chance, and ii
would seem now that only com
Elctc upset of Republican traditions
can save the general.
Senator johnson was not con.
sidercd seriously at the time of the
national committee meeting, bat his
recent successes in the expression OF
public opinion at the preferential
primaries have caused the organiza.
ton leaders TO consider him as Vice
President.
They will not admit he has IL
chance for anything higher than that
They know he is II votcgettcr and
for that reason they want him to
help elect the man OF their choice
at Chicago.
Senator Johnson's friends and sup
lcrtcrs continue to scout the idea
that he will accept second place on
the ticket to any man and. they are
sure that if he meets further success
in Indiana and California next Tues
day he will be in II position to spurn
the offers Of the Vice Presidency.

.pENROSE FAVORS KNOX

The ncws from Philadelphia last
night that Senator Pcnrosc had come
ont for Senator Knox confirmed pre-
v.uus reports that the junior senator
from Pennsylvania would have many
friends in the Chicago convention
and that he might develop consider
able strength. Whether Senator Pen
ing that the Pennsylvania State dele

remains Is be seen. Governor Sproul

Ing uninstructed. would vote for him
Ell the first few ballots, or until the
drift OF the convention should set III.
The purpose Senator rcnrOSc may
lave had in mind in coming out for
senator Knox at this particular time
was the cause OF much speculation

went out that 1t wes very essential to

should be an "open" one.
With very few exceptions the nm

The difficulty OF Senator Johnson's
position is that while he is winning
popular successes at the polls he is
rot getting such an overpowerinh
number of truly pledged delegates.
This is where the old guard members
Of the party think that they have the
whip hand.
Comparatively few of tho States
have elected delegates to the conven
ton by popular, vote. This. is ono OF
the "jokers" Of the primary system.
The innocent voters express their
choice, but the party leaders in con-
nection assembled generally select
the delegates.
And these delegates are not OF the
tcmperamental variety. They are not
likely to be swayed by popular clam
or at the convention. They are far
more likely to sit still and wait for
tho others to come from higher. up.
Republican conventions are not east
ly stampeded. The handpicked, time
tested delegates are not the sort to
give way to emotions and be swept
eff their feet. They are practical
men.

TEST|F|ES SPRINGER
 LOANED HIM CEMENT

Testifying for the state, Harry Hur- ley yesterday declared in the trial of W. F. Springer. charged with grand larceny. that Springer had loaned him 1900 sacks of cement consigned to the state highway department at Tempe. Hurley was found guilty last April by a jury on a charge of grand larceny in connection with the taking of the sacks of cement from the cars in May, 1919. Springer is charged in connee- tion with the same transaction, his trial beginning Tuesday.
 Hurley testified that Springer had told him a few days before he took the cement from the cars that the state had more cement than it needed on the job and that he would loan him some on the condition that he would return it. Hurley said Springer gave him a slip with the car numbers written on it and told him where the cars would be on a siding near the cotton gin Tn Tempe. Hurley said he took car of cement, 1900 sacks, and stored 1t Tn the Wolfe warehouse in Tempe.
 Prior to taking the 1900 sacks, Hur- | lev said, Springer had loaned him about l 500 sacks of cement and gave him a paper with the car numbers on it. He stated he could not be sure whether l the slip of paper offered in evidence bore the number of the car from which he took the first sacks of cement, or l the 1909 sacks. Hurley said he found the slip of paper with the numbers on it after his trial. No receipt TOT 1 the cement was given to Springer, he said, brt Springer told him to count the sacks. so that he could return it.
 Thomas Maddock, state engineer
 was the first witness and stated that he had no Knowledge of the loan oI the taking or thei cement. He said he had not authorized the transaction.
 The trial will be continued today.

Early Enterprises

It was about that time that the Ari- zona Improvement company was formed. It was an organization su- pervising irrigation interests on the north side of the river.
 A short time later the Phoenix Ma tional bank opened its doors at the southeast corner of Wall and Wash ington streets. This business place was later occupied by saloon known as the Bank Exchange"
 B. 4. Fickas. father of Mel Fickas was one of the leading citizens and politicians in those days He con- ducted large real estate and insur- ance business.
 Just about that time N. A. Morford and George Mintz established the Phoenix Herald and conducted it as an afternoon Republican newspaper. The Herald was later absorbed by the Arizona Republican.
 Mike Curley was then operating the principal meat market of the city in a store about where the Hughes market is later located. He left the country a few years later and went to South Africa. Pat Hurley taking over the business

 The Roosevelt n~~>
 Population of the city grew rapidly between 1900 and 1910. The 1910 cen- sus. however, gave the capital city only about 12,o0o with Tucson about 1000 more
 Construction of Roosevelt dam was started in 1905, the contract for it's construction being awarded to John M. ORouTl1e and company, of Galveston, April s, 1905, at an initial price of S1,- 147000, the contractors to receive free electric power and free cement.
 After bedrock, at it's greatest depth of 40 feet had been reached and the gravel and sand had been sluiced out by hydraulic jets, the first stone of the foundation was laid September 20, 1906. The last stone, on the coping, 2S4 feet above, was laid February 6, 1911. At the river level the dam is 235 feet long and at the top, csc feet. The entire length of the roadway on top of the dam is 1,0S0 feet for 200 leel or length was audeu on eitLer Slue for spillways blasted from the noun tain side. Its width at the base is 110 feet and at the top. 16 feet. Within the dam are 400 cubic yards of masonry and every stone was washed before it was Cemented into place. The greatest development of Phoenix and the surrounding community dates from the completion of the Roosevelt dam-in other words since 1911. The city has more than doubled in popula- tion since that time thousands of dwellings have been erected and mil lions of dollars have been spent in the construction of schools. public build- ings and business blocks.

of the beautiful new city hall build ing"
 A commission was soon thereafter created to select a site for a perma:- nent capitol building. This commits sion decided upon a tract of ten acres west of the city of Phoenix-where it is now located-and at a subsequent leg islative session the action was ap- proved and funds were provided for beautifying the grounds. An act ap- proved March s, 1897, provided for the erection of a capitol building to cost S1OO, coo. Construction of the building was started in 1899 under Commission CTS E. B. Gage, Walter Talbot and F. Fl. Parker The total cost of building and furniture was s140,000. The capi- tol was dedicated and formally occu- pied February 24, 1901. The orators of the day were Governor N. o. Murphy, Chief Justice Webster Street of the su- preme court and President Eugene $. Ives of the territorial council. An ad- dition has recently been added.
 City Government
 Phoenix pa ssed under .a commission form of government April ', 1914. w. A. Parish, an engineer of the reclama- ton service and an honored Arizonian, was chosen as the first city manager Within year. however, dissensions broke out between the commission and the manager who, after formal i trial by the commission itself, was re- moved from office March 16, 1915, this indicating a degree of failure in the | first commission government expert ment tried in tho Southwest. Robert 1 Craig succeeded him, but he resigned | three years ago to take a similar po- sition at Santa Barbara. Calf, and V A. Thompson, incumbent. was named | his successor.
 The first artificial sidewalk was 2 sample strip. about three feet wide and nine feet long at the southeast corner of Second and Washington streets This was in 1894 and it was some years later before an additional side walk paving was done.
 Probably the most unique sidewalk ever laid in the United States, however | was that at the northeast corner oi First and Washington streets, flankine the Red Front general store. It wa. made of beer bottles, sunk into tho earth with the bottom side furnishing the walking surface.
 During this period, the electric ligh system was owned by a ChinamaT named Obnick. Street lights consisted of 16 candle power incandescent lights mounted on 10-foot wooden poles ans | located every two or three blocks TheN looked like fireflics. Arc lights were installed in the city, at irregular in | tervaE, about 1894

Goldman con- ducted a general merchandising store where the Busy drug store is now To- cated: the National Bank of Arizona occupied a small structure at its pres ent location and the other corner was occupied by Major Evans with his real estate firm.
 When the Town Was Wide Open
 Open gambling, saloons and dives of all natures were among the chief occupations of the city in those days, Nearly every other place of business was saloon or a gambling hall, with no effort made to suppress or regu- late any of these industries. Tn fact. they were among the most important Tn the city cowmen, miners and ranchers coming from many miles around to enjoy the pleasures
 Henry E. Kemp was the principal hardware merchant of the city in the early sos and at different times em- ployed such men as Ezra w. Thayer now one of the leading hardware mar chants of Phoenix. and Cyril s. Gil bert and c. H. Pratt, now co-partners in the Pratt-Gilbert company.
 Corrals were another big industry ir Phoenix in the good old days. Every. body drove or rode horseback, with [ result that a corral was located ever, block or so. The automobile Ina. played an important part in remov. ing these unsightly structures and tn, garages have taken their place.
 The Monihon building at the north east corner of First avenue and Wash, ington street. where it now stands was erected in the sos and was on of the architectural masterpieces O | that period.
