ASK BIDS FOR ANNEX
 TO PIONEERS HOME

Bids have been asked for by the commission Of state institutions for the construction of the annex to the Pioneers Home according to revised plans. The last legislature made an appropriat ton for the annex which would have doubled the capacity of the home The amount of the appropria- ton was s65 000 and that would have been sufficient at that time, not only for building the annex. but for fur nishing it. as wa contemplated by the bill.
 This appropriation did not become available until July 1. and Immediately thereafter the commission had the plans prepared and asked for bids. Tn the meantime the prices of materials had so far advanced that the cost of the work could not be brought within the appropriation so that all bids were rejected.
 As the home is now filled the com mission could not await action by the next legislature. It therefore had the plans revised in such form that the original conception may be carried out when money is available, but in the meantime room must be made for such applicants as there may be.

Phoenix. Arizona.
 Dear Sir: On my return tc the city my attention is called 10 an editorial in the Gazette in which splendid tribute is paid to the memory or my son who is now buried in the Argonne cemetery, extolling his splendid services to our country.
 It would be false modesty in me not to be comforted by such expressions. but I am always desirous of sharing these honors with he parents of the hosts of other American boys who showed the same spirit and who would have willingly made the supreme sacri- flee had the opportunity offered.
 In the same article I note mention of my candidacy for the office Of state tax commissioner. and while am duly appreciative of the honor paid to my son. in all fairness to the other candi- dates for this office I do not wish my candidacy to be based on any senti- mental grounds
 would not have entered the race did not feel that I have qualifications to fill the office acceptably to the people of Arizona I have been assessor of Maricopa county for eight years, and member and chairman of the board of supervisors of the same county for two years, and have been for the past two years appraiser of the federal land bank. This work is in line with the duties to be performed on the state board.
 I trust you will give this publicity. FRANK LUKE

GOVERNMENT WINS FIRST BATTLE IN ENGLISH COMMONS Defeats Motion to Inquire In- to Reprisals in Ire
 land DEBATE IS DUEL
 BETWEEN FACTIONS Declaration Made America No Longer Desires Irish in U. S. Because of Their Radi-
 calism

London, Oct. 2O.-A motion In the house of commons today calling for a public inquiry into reprisals in Irland was withdrawn this evening after heated debate.
 The government, which had firm ly resisted the demand for the in- quiry, had a large majority in the house at the time of the withdrawal.
 Debate a Duel
 The Irish debate in the House of Commons tonight resolved itself in- to duel between the opposition and the government, the former demand ing, the latter resisting, an indepen- dent set up by Sir Hamar Green wood, chief secretary for Ireland, was that while the Asqunthians put the emphasis on the rephisals, put it on the provoca tion "he insist ed that no case had been made out for what he characterized as Ar thur Henderson's insulting resolu- tions, demanding an inquiry into the reprisals by the police and sol. diers in Ireland. He incidentally re- marked that America was no longer welcoming immigration from Ireland because it did not desire to swell the vast total disturbing elements in the republic, and he declared his in- tention to rake Ireland from end to end, including Ulster, in the search for disturbers.

Governor Brough Instructs Sheriff to Call on
 State

Little Rock. Ark, Oct. 20.-Gover- nor Charles H, Brough today took cognizance of threats to destroy cot ton gins along the Frisco railroad in several northeast Arkansas counties and take the lives of the owners, by instructing Sheriff w. D. Shelton of Harrisburg, Poinsett county, to take all steps necessary to prevent incen- diarism and night riding in any form even to calling on the adjutant gen eral of the state for aid,
 The governors attention first was called to the threats in letter from committee headed by J. A. Emerich ginner of Tyronza, Poinsett coun- ty, where meeting was held last night at which it was decided to ask protection. The letter quoted q warning which had been received by ginners through the mails and which was signed "committee."
 The warning charged that the gin ners were in a combination to keeE the price of ginning at high leve and continued.
 Want Pre-war Prices
 "Unless you immediately put tht price of seed back te- B yor laore.. ton and the charge for ginning ant wrapping back to the pre-war basis of 50 cents per hundred of seed cot ginned, your gin will be destroyed and your life forfeited Likewise the seed mill people. This is eff fective October IS. Your trust pric. of 50 cents peh rundred of seed cot ton ginned and $2.25 for ties ant wrapping is simply robbery and will not be tolerated. You got to como square; or take the consequences" This afternoon telegram was re- ceived from Tyronza stating that tho situation was beyond local control although no reports have been rece' ived of the threats having been car ried out. The gins, it is stated art operating under heavy guard.
 Governor Brough instructed Sher- if Shelton to appoint as many de. puties as necessary to maintain or. der and in the event his forces could not control the situation to call up. on the state officials for aid.

WANDERER DENIES TRUTH OF STORIES
 TOLD THE POLICE
Declares He is Innocent and That Officers ''Made
 Him Confess"

Chicago, Oct. 2O.-Carl Wanderer. testifyIng in his own defense in the trial for the murder of his wife to- day declared that he was innocent and repudiated the signed statement made to the police in which he con- fessed staying his wife, their unborn child and vagabond, whom he said was hired to stage a mimic holdup and thus divert suspicion from him self. He said the confession was wrung from him by "bullyraggine and violence" and that he made it "so the detectives would let him alone and let him get little sleep"
 Before Wanderer took the stand Dr. William Hickson, head of the psycopathic hospital, testified the de- fendant was insane and had the mind of ten year old child. He was in- sane at the time of the murder and when he made the confession, Dr. dickson said he believed.
 Enters Court Running
 Wanderer entered the court room humming. At no time during the three hours that he was on the stand did he hesitate in answering ques- tions.
 He repeated the original version of the shooting of his wife by the tramp and the staying of the hobo, telling almost word for word the story given the police the day of the affair and which made him a hero until he was arrested charged with murder.
 "Ruth (his wife) and went to the picture show," he said. "On the way back I noticed ragged stranger following us, but thought little of it until later when I recognized him as the man I had shot. Ruth went into the vestibule in the hallway ahead of me. I could see the outlines of a man, but before I could do anything he began firing. I drew my revolver and emptied it in his direction"
 "Did you shoot,' asked one of Wan dcIer's counsel.
 q shot in the direction of the man" Wanderer answered.
 "Did you shoot your wife,"
 "No sir; I did not shoot my wife, said Wanderer.
 Wanderer then told how his moth er-in-law had come to the door and found him astride the stranger, beat ing him with gun.
 "I said rush her to the hospital and take the ring off, wanted the ring taken off because it was loose.'
 Says He Was Threatened
 Wanderer then told of his arrest

ARMY PLANES END TOUR TO NORTH TO
 BLAZE MAIL TRAIL
Indians Scampered When Air craft Passed Thru Air On
 Way to Alaska

Mineola, N. Y. Oct. 2O.-Escorted from New York to Mineola by an aerial fleet, four American army air planes today competed 5000 mile trip to Alaska which they started July 15
 So enthusiastic was captain St. Clair Street, commander, over the success of the aerial survey that he announced his intention of recomend- ing to the war department that the route blazed from Mineola to Nome be made permanent.
 With his seven companions Captain Street will leave tomorrow for Wash ington where an official reception has been arranged, Later they will submit detailed reports.
 Service Practicable.
 Captain Street declared if his re- concentrations were allowed, regular air service to Alaska would be in- auguarted in the near future. He said Alaskan settlements desired such service and that a movement was on foot to gain the cooperation of the Canadian government. The success of the expedition, he said, proved regular service was practicable.
 The aviators told many interest ing stories of their trip. At some landing places game was plentiful and fresh meat was always available. The fliers sighted herds of reindeer and caribou and often saw bear, mountain sheep, and other game. A school of white whale and many seals were sighted in the Bering sea. From the air also they saw Indians take flight on approach of the planes.
 The machines took 16 days on the trip west and 15 for the returna, l. though the flying times was much less

RESERVE SYSTEM IS UNDER FIRE AT U. s.
 BANKERS MEETING
of New Plan is Attacked and Defended
 in Turn

Washington, Oct. 2O-While a sur yey of the financial policies of the government by Secretary Houston drew the attention of the delegates today at the general session of the American Bankers Association con- vention, state bankers, in their sec tional meetings, which followed, brought the ministration of the fed- eral reserve system under fire. They adopted resolutions "condemning and dcpreciating methods employed by the board" in it's relations with state banks. which are not members of the reserve system, alt' gh the board did not lack def ITS during the discussion.
 Indignation against the boards regulation compelling the collection of checks and remittance of the t;@ face amount at par was freely ex- messed. Governor Harding was styl- ed a "usurper" of authority and a committee was named to seek amend ment of the reserve act so as to "guarantee all bankers the rights and privileges" of fixing charge on the handling of checks drawn on all ex- cept local banks.
 Charge Use of Force
 Sneakers declared Governor Hard- ing had "employed' force and coer- cion by forcing the use of the par clearance system, under which many state banks were said to have been comnelled to enter the reserve sys- fem or lose certain classes of busl- ness. This was "not only unfair, put without basis in law" it was assert ed. >..,
 Charles de B. Claiborne, of New Orleans declared the service render ed by the banks in the transfer o1 checks was legitimate and that the hanks were entitled to compensation. He asserted that the arrangement ordered by the reserve board TOT nor.clearance "does not make every check worth 100 cents on the dollar because there is nearly always an ex- change charge, so the merchant wno supports par clearance does not gam anything. eff the merchants nave benefited by the system, MT. Ciair, borne contended, the public has not hecn able to see it reflected in re- duced prices" ao
