church and parsonage building. was talked about for some time, it has been left to the untiring energy and perse- verence of Rev. Thomas J. Sanford and his advisors to bring it to real issue. It is the first enterprise of it's kind ever launched anywhere in the Southwest and it's success will un- doubtedly stimulate other colored com mupities to do likewise. Before com ing to Phoenix about a year ago to take charge of the Tanner chapel. Rev. Sanford served as chief secretary to the Southwest Missouri conference. Ip his youth he attended the public schools of Des Moines,. Iowa, was a justice in Lee township. Des Moines, for four years finished a complete theological course at the Western uni versity and a course at Drake univer- sity He then became pastor at Elm poria. Kansas. and finally transferred from pastor at Manhattan to his duties to this conference.
 Tanner Chapel was founded g years ago and the present church building and site was purchased from the con gregation of the First Christian church. Allen Smith was one of the original trustees and he is today still trustee and treasurer who. together with R. A. Smith, secretary; ]. D. Moss, Walter Mckinney, Joseph Rob inson. Charles Ward, Julius Tubos John King and c. S. " Jones form the present board of trustees
 Thus, with background of wide ex- perience and the confidence not only of his bishop, the Right Rev. Henry K. Parks his parishoners and the en- tire negro community of Phoenix. but also the confidence and esteem of al who know him and the scope of his work Rev. Sanford is certain the necessary funds will be raised for thi! work within a record breaking time.

Mercer Price Is
 $4465 Here, Not
 $500 As Quoted

Although Hare's Motors reduced the price of the Mercer car 1000, dropping the price from s54s5 to S44s5. Arizona delivery, an error in the composing room of The Republican boosted the price to $500, which is the LooomebiIe price.
 While the public Tor several years witnessed the steady climb in the prices of automobiles, an increase of S3,145 in one day would doubtless create sensation.
 Hare's Motors, when the price de cline commenced in the automobile in- dustry, announced that the only reduc- ing down costs of raw materials and general commodities, was a drop "clear to bedrock" They felt that a small reduction would not benefit the gen eral high price situation materially, but that clear cut drop would so affect the high level of other commodities and of the general material situation that the read justment period would be much more quickly and easily passed through.
 They therefore announced drop of S1350 on the locomobiie and Sf 1000 on the Mercer, making the price of the former $500, and the latter $4435, Ari- zona delivery.
 This sensational price reduction of one of the foremost concerns in the industry has no doubt had a very marked effect on raw material sources, particularly those of the high charac- ter used in the manufacture of the Locomobile and Mercer cars, even though misunderstanding costs have not as yet been reduced to an extent bene- ficial to the manufacturer.

Judge Carter Says America
Has Too Many Commissions
Tells Kiwanis Club That We
Must Hasten to the Pre-.
War Government.
EDUCATION is SAFETY
Judge Carter Believes History
Has Important Message for
Every American Citizen

Judge Francis B. Carter, speaking
at the weekly meeting of the Kiwanis
Club yesterday, said that the United
States has too many bureaus and COM
missions, established under war regu-
lations and that it is now time to get
rid Of some Of them. 1T is not the
vide opportunities" Judge Carter said,
'but rather it is the duty of the gov
ernment to see that as little restraint
as possible is placed on the individual
who is able and competent to take ad-
vantage of the opportunities avail
able"
Judge Carter pointed to the public
school as. the only gift which the franz
ers of the government attempted to
give the people and said that in public
education lies the only safeguard Of
the minority. ''The majority, by rea-
son of it's power, can be very cruel"
Judge Carter said. But if the ma
jority is educated it will be merciful
for educated men are merciful."
Referring to corporations, Judge
Carter declared that there has been
too much combination of effort for
private gain and too little for the pub
lie veal. 'I am opposed to corpora
tions within reasonable limits" Judge
Carter asserted, But 1 do not believe
the amassing of wealth by a few in
dividuals is good for the state"
Judge Carter urged the Kiwanians
to study history-especially that oil

tory of the United States. mo gov
ernment in the world has endured
longer than a thousand years" Judge
Carter said, "And revolution in this
country will come when the govern
ment becomes corrupt, and the peo-
pie no longer believe the ballot box
gives an honest expression Of the opin-
ion of the majority"

.DEBS IS NAMED
BY SOCIALISTS
National Convention Adopts
Conservative Policy For
Presidential Campaign.
KEEP OUT OF JAIL
Slogan for Speakers Is ssBe Able
to Talk Without Being
Sent to Prison.

New York, May 13.-After nominat-
ing Eugene v. Debs for president of
the national convention of the socialist
party adopted Norris Hil1quit's plat
form virtually as submitted, voting
by decisive majorities to wage the So
cialistic campaign this year along
conservative" lines. Seymour Sted-
man, general counsel of the party Of
Chicago, was nominated for vice pres.
ident. It was said the socialists want
ed a lawyer for vice-president, some
body VINO knows how to talk and keep
out of Jail"
Eugene v. Debs nominated today for
president on the socialist ticket now
is convict number 1858 in the federal
penitentiary at Atlanta, Ga. He be-
gan serving ten years sentence for
violation Of the wartime espionage
act April 13, 1919. when he entered
the Moundsville, w. Va. federal peni-
tentiary after all appeals in his be-
half had failed. He was removed to
the Atlanta penitentiary last January.
Debs is IS years old. His presidential
nomination today is the fifth his party
has given him.
He was democrat before he became
a socialist. In the late seventies he
served two terms in the Indiana leg
islature from Terre Haute, his home
town and figured considerably in To-
cal politics before that. He once was
a candidate for congress from the
fifth Indiana district. In 1894 from
May to November. he served SEN
tence in Jail for. contempt Of court in
an Illinois conspiracy case while an
acknowledge leader Of the socialist
party in this country.
His present imprisonment resulted
from governmental investigation Of n
speech in Canton, Ohio on June 16,
1918 which led to his arrest two weeks
later for opposing the war and urg-
ing labor to cease all activities which
in any way tended to prolong it.
Every atom of influence and energy
in the socialist party went into the
fight to keep Debs out of Jail, but the
United States supreme court and At
torney General Palmer turned down
each appeal in his behalf -. Later
the American Federation OF Labor con-
vention in 1919, after heated debate
voted down a resolution which favored
clemency for him.
The name Of Debs as head Of the
socialist party in America" has gone
around the world. Soviet Russia
sought his release in appeals to this
government through diplomatic chan
nels, and he was Slated" by Moscow
communist congress in March of las.
wear to be ''the future Soviet president
of the United States. With Premier
Lenine of Russia, he last June was
elected an honorary president Of the
Korean labor congress.

BAPTISTS HEAR
STRONG APPEAL
Impressive Letter Is Written by
President to Southern
Meet in Washington.

Washington, May 13.-Presiden'
Wilson in a letter today to the an
nuaI meeting here of the Southern
Baptist convention declared tn
America now was facing the question
of aiding Christian people in other
parts of the world to realize their
ideals of justice and orderly peace.
"It is a matter of genuine and very
deep regret on my part" the president
wrote, "that I cannot personally greet
the members of the Southern Baptist
convention now gathered to hold the
diamond anniversary of the convention
in this city. 1t would be great
pleasure to me if 1 could meet the
members personally and express my
deep concern in all the great interests
which they represent. 1t is special
significance and timeliness that
great Christian convention should be
held in Washington, because the ma
ton now faces nothing less than the
question whether it is to help the
christian people in other parts OF the
world to realize their ideals OF justice
and of orderly peace, and l am sure
thar the nation will listen with the
greatest Difference to the utterances
of the convention"

Army SERVICE
APPEAL GAINS
Volunteer Workers Report
Progress and Indications for
Success Are Excellent.
PENSACOLA is HONORED
Miss Jessie Stevens Will Be One
of Two Southern Girls to
Be Rated Lieutenant.

The Salvation Army Second Home
Service Appeal is gaining strength
rapidly, the volunteer workers who are
gathering pledges for the fund having
reported progress everywhere. Many
contributions are being mailed direct
to P. K. Yonge, the treasurer, and in
dications are bright for the success of
the Appeal in Pensacola and Escambia
county.
City Chairman McAllister has corps
Of able assistants and the women's
committee under the guidance Of Mrs
Dan Shepard are making rapid strides
toward raising their quota.
Miss Jessie Stevens, Ala AlcaniZ, will
be one of the graduates of the Saliva
ton Army training college in New
York City and will receive her COM
mission as second lieutenant when the
class graduates in June. Miss Stevens
is only 20 years of age, but has been
interested in Army work for several
years. She was formerly in the cir
culation department of the Journal,
and entered the Army school last Sep
tember.
Miss Stevens and Miss Ayesha Flow
ers, the latter of North Carolina, are
the only two girls from the south who
will be graduated at the June exer-
cises. Miss Stevens is the daughter
of Mr.. and Mrs. William L. Stevens.
When she was born both her parents
held commissions as captains in the
Army and they were stationed in Pen
sacola about seven years ago.
The parents retired from the service
about five years ago, being at that
time with the Birmingham corps. Mr..
Stevens served in the Army for over
35 years and Mrs. Stevens for nearly
forty years. The young woman has
been trained and brought up in the
Army atmosphere, said her mother
yesterday, and it has always been her
one ambition to take up the work where
her parents left off.
No indication has been made as to
where Miss Stevens will be sent when
she receives her commission, though
an effort is. being made for her as
signment to duty in Mississippi by one
of her former companions and friends
there. Miss Stevens own idea was
expressed when she was asked where
she would rather go by saying Give
me Florida every time. like my work
here but don't like the north and
I long for beautiful Florida. certainly
hope they send us back there after
graduation next month"

ASKS CIRCUIT
JUDGES DECIDE
Congressman Brand of Georgia
Would Provide for Short
ages in Supreme Court.
By GEORGE II. MANNING.

Washington, May 12.-Congressman
Charles H. Brand Of Georgia expects
to get a hearing before the house
judiciary committee this week on his
bill providing that the president shall
name some judge of the circuit court
of appeals to sit on the bench or the
supreme court of the United States
when any member Of that court is
disqualified from rendering decision
on any case before the court.
The necessity for such provision
was made apparent few weeks ago.
when two judges of the supreme court
were disqualified from taking part in
the case of the United States VS.. The
u. S. Steel Corporation, because they
had, before appointment to the su-
preme court bench, taken part In the
case against the steel corporation.
In that case four justices of the
court rendered the majority opinion,
three were against the decision and
two were disqualified. Judge Nc
Reynolds, as former attorney general,
had brought the suit for the govern
ment and Judge Brandeis had acted
as counsel for the government.
CONGRESSMAN Brand holds that there
might come a time when five members
of the supreme court may be dis-
qualified, and four members, minority,
might decide the case. He has looked
into the matter with Judge King, soil
citor general of the justice depart
ment. and found that the measure he
proposes is constitutional.
Mr.. Brands bill has been heartily
endorsed by judges. lawyers, news
papers and commercial organizations
all over the country, and appears to
have strong probability of passing.

WILSON VETOES
PRINTING BILL
Tells Congress There Is Too
Much Tendency for Legisla-
tion to Exceed It's Field
CALLS LAW CENSORSHIP
House and Senate Leaders Chal-
lenge Presidents Position
But Action Is Undecided

Washington, May 13.-President Will
SON pointedly informed congress today
that in his opinion the legislative
branch of the government is showing
an increasing tendency to interfere un-
duly with the exercise of executive
functions. The statement was made
in vetoing the annual legislative, ex-
ecutive and judicial appropriation bill
because of a section to prohibit print
ing or mimeographing government
publications. except by authority of the
congressional joint committee on print
ing.
The president said he is entire SYM
pathy with efforts to effect economies
in printing and the use of paper, but
declared such provision as that section
would give the committee power to
determine what information shall be
given to the people of the country by
the executive departments" He cited
several other measures to support his
charge, and said he permitted some to
become law as temporary expedients
but felt the time had come to call a
halt.
The presidents position on both the
general principle involved and the spe-
cific case was challenged by republican
leaders Of the house and senate SEN
ator Smoot, republican, of Utah, chair
man of the joint committee, stated that
the president had been deliberately
misinformed."
Whether there will be an attempt
to pass the measure over the veto or
eliminate the feature objected to by
the president was not decided tonight.

STORM BREWS IN
CENTRAL AMERICA.

Washington, May 13.-Indications
that a diplomatic crisis is developing
in Central America were given today In
official and unofficial reports from
various capitals there. The state de-
partment has been advised of a protest
by Honduras against massing on the
Salvadorean border of number OF
malcontents, presumably for an attack
on Honduras. Unofficial reports OF the
revolution in Honduras are believed in
official circles TO be based on the pro-
test by Honduras.
