 The convention went on record as distrusting Germany'S intentions to fulfill her obligations to the allies as accepted by her in signing the treaty at Versailles.
 The resolution presented by A. J. Hobson, chairman of the British dele gation, and seconded by Charles F. Coffin of the American delegation, after stating that the reconstruction of France, Belgium and Italy is the most urgent question before the meet ing, set forth that in the opinion of the convention, Germany has failed to reduce her army as promised by the terms of the treaty and has given nc evidence of intention to do so; and concludes by urging upon the govern . ments of the allied nations that nc further delay from the German gov ernment be tolerated. Copies of this resolution were sent to the premiers of the five allied nations represented in the convention.

 The state legislature, February Is, 1901, provided for the establishment of libraries and free reading rooms throughout the state. The Library as SoCiation thereupon presented the 1850 boogs then in the collection, and in cluding all fixtures, to the city, which agreed to continue with the operation of the library.
 At this time the Woman's club in terested itself in the fortunes of the library and initiated a campaign to
 It was in 1904 that MT. Carnegie fi- nally agreed to donate the sum of SS5000 for the construction of a H. brary, providing the city furnished an appropriation of S2500 annually and a site upon which to erect the building. The city council readily agreed to the terms and provided for the immediate drawing up of plans and specifications for the edifice which was built in the course of time on the present site.
 The first librarian to take charge in the new quarters was Mrs. N. A. Mor- ford, who served in that capacity for nine years. At her death in 1912, Miss Addie P. Ingalls, was elected in her place and Miss Maude l.. Hiatt be- came assistant librarian. When the IT, brarian's chair again became vacant Miss Hiatt succeeded to the position which she still holds. The present staff of the library is as follows:
 Miss Della E. Button. vice librarian: Mrs c. F. Davidson, Miss Mary Chris ty and Mrs. Georgiana McCauley, records librarians; Miss Marjorie Ba- ker, shelf librarian.
 The present library board consists of Henry c. Yeager. president; o. A rrN.. IsafN1 w. Crenshaw and Judge Walter Ben nett, members.

LIBRARY, AFTER 25
 YEARS OF LIFE, NOW
 HAS2O,OO0 VOLUMES

Lovers of fact or fiction, knowledge or entertainment, now have access to 20,270 books owned by the Phoenix public library, and corps of efficient library workers are always in attend ance to aid patrons in r>saking the right selections and to take care of the countless details connected with the management and operatioA of a mod ern bibliothec.
 Twenty two years ago it was posSi- ble to choose only for a slender collec- ton of a few hundred volumes. con tained in two small rooms on the sec ond floor of a downtown office build ing, and attended to by one volunteer librarian, selected from the member ship list of the Friday Morning club.
 Only the hardy persistence of the public spirited women of that club which made the library possible, kept the young institution on it's feet at that early date. It was open only in the mornings, and indeed this was enough, for there were fewer books in the entire collection than now pass over the counter in a. day. Patrons were charged fifty cents a quarter for the privilege of borrowing books which initially had been donated by generous citizens.
 A bill to provide for the maintenance of a public library was introduced in the city council in 1899, but did not pass This means of providing for the future of the institution failing. mass meeting of citizens was held and "The Phoenix Library Association was formed. The members subscribed $9 each, annually, for expenses and the city donated the use of @ room in the city hall to house the collection of books. Andrew Carnegie at this time

ASH TURK RAILROAD MAN Is VICTIM OF
 TURBINE. ACCIDENT
Especial Correspondence of the
 Republican,

ASH FORK. Aug. 8.-Injured in an accident that is almost without paral- Tel in railroad history, Benjamin F. Murray, a machinist'S helper in the employ of the Santa Fe railroad here,
 died this morning few hours after
 being hurt.
 Murray, a man 54 years old and veteran railroad man, was testing dynamo and turbine on top Of an en- zine in the yards here. With R. H. Beutler, a machinist, he had put new wheel in the turbine ana was speeding the machine up. Alter IlrsI trial the turbine exploded, tiylns parts of it striking Murray in the head ana neck, crushing his skull and causing other injuries from when ne oleo without regaining consciousness. Beutler, with whom the dead man was working, had a miraculous escape from the same fate, having Just lett the turbine and gone down into the engine cab to shut off the steam drlv- ing the turbine when thc accident occurred. AS it was broken pieces ot the turbine smashed through the steel walls of the cab, one piece striking Vergie Reynolds, a hostlers helper, gIancing blow on the head and rem dering him unconscious momentarily.
 The cab was riddled as if by shrapnel. Murray was carried to yardhouSe, where he died before a doctor could be summoned from Seligman, twenty seven mics away.
 Just what caused the turbine to burst is not known. In fact, the un- tlsualness of the accident was the subject of much comment among the
 men, one gray haired engineman re- marking that he had heard of only two such accidents in his forty years of railroading.
 The death of the veteran machinist
 was a shock to the men in the yards as well as the crews of the engine with which much of his work was done- One engineer described him as beint one of the most genial and accommo- dating men he had ever asked to turn
 a bolt. He was popular alike with officials and men.
 Murray had worked in the Ash Fork yards less than d year, coming from the San Bernardino yards. He is survived by a widow and three
 grown children. one, Mrs. Fl. M. White
 also an employe of the road.

NON SETTING UP MACHINERY FOR WORLD |. IF |.
International Chamber Ex- pected to Do Much in Solving Trade and Com mercial Problems of the Nations

WASHINGTON, August S.-Work of setting up the machinery of the new
 " organized International Chamber ot Commerce is under ay in the tenn porary quarters, at B Rue Jean Don jon, Paris. The permanent headquar- ters. which will be determined by the board of directors, will probably be located at the seat of the League of Nations.
 Dr. Edward DolIeans, professor of political economy at the University of Dion, who is temporary secretary general of the international chamber
 is directing the work of putting the machinery in motion. He is bcfng as- sisted temporarily by David A. Skinner sechetary of the Chamber of Commerce of the United States.
 The outlook for the business league of nations is very promising, accord ing to American delegates who have returned to the United States from the Paris conference, where the inter- national chamber was formed. They report that no more earnest group of men ever met for a greater cause than the 500 delegates from France, Italy. Belgium, Great Britain and the United States, the five foundation countries,
 who gathered for the purpose of building the machine which would set prpblems between the nations.
 ' Will Further International Trade. American delegates point out that never before had the business inde- pendence of the worlds commerce and the acute character of many of the pressing commercial, financial and economic problems been formally re- cognized- Nor had there even been such a serious and united effort made to find common ground on which unity . of thought and action might take place. One enthusiastic delegate ex- pressed the opinion that the interna- tional chamber of commerce will come . to be the spokesman and guardian of the international affairs of production s@nd distribution. With the lapse of a !&fw years, he predicted that the ma~ :Ehinery of the international chamber Bill be working so smoothly that most 'I the present difficulties of interna- 7Nzona1 trade will be largely eliminated
 At the headquarters of the interna- Eflonal chamber will be centralized data g<pncerning economic and social condi- Mons, the facts of production and re- -ruirements, and the possibilities of tu- fnre production and requirements. It EFill act as a o-ordinating instrument For suggesting regulations and legisla- live measures to facilitate and en- &burage economic intercourse. It will aiso place at the disposal of members and of official agencies reports and a<pnclusions which may be issued in &ecordnace with it's articles of constf- fntion, and will form public opinion

If there had been room at the Strand for picture, Gladys BrockweH in A Sister to Salome" would have been there for three-days' xkAy, for it is unquestionably the best thing Fox has made this year. Unfortunately, it had to be shown at the smaller house be- cause there was not enough room for the programs in transit.

Many of the scenes were massive in their conception, but so carefully staged as to convey the most satisfying sense of intimacy and good taste.
