HOPl INDIAN SHAKE
 DANCE TO BE HELD
 AUGUST IS TO 25

The Hopi Snake Dance, the annual spectacular event of much interest to tourists, will be held on the Hopi h. dian reservation this year, from Aug ust Is to 25.
 In five Hopi Indian villages located about 89 miles north of the Santa Fe railroad in Eastern Arizona two fra ternities every year cooperate in the presentation of nine days cere- mony. They are the Blue and Drab Flute and the Antelope and Snake. In even years the Antelope and Snake fratemities combine and enact their rites in the villages of Oraibi, Shum- opovi and Shipaulovi. In the villages of Mishongnovi and Walpi may be wit messed in the same year the combined ceremonies of the Blue and Drab Flute fraternities.
 In odd numbered years, this year, 1921, being an odd year, at Oraibi, Shumapovi and Shipaulovi are held the Flute ceremonies, and in Mish- ongnovi and Walpi, the Snake-Ante- lope ceremonies. As the final days performances do not coincide, one may arrange to witness several of them. In each of five villages there are two Flute organizations. one known as the Gakawaleyna, or Blue Flute the other as the Macilyena, or Drab Flute. The secret rites of these societies are held in secret chamber of leading members house. Here the altar is erected, prayer offerings are made and sacred traditional songs are sung. On the ninth day there is a public performance at a spring near the foot of the mesa.
 At sunrise of the ninth day occurs a spectacular foot race. Analysis of these Flute ceremonies shows them to be elaborate prayers for rain.
 But it is the Antelope Snake cere- monies that are the most interesting and which attract the tourists from many parts of the country every year. These also last nine days, there be- ing elaborate ceremonies for each day, all with much meaning They lead up to the last day when the snakes are washed and the dances begin.
 The department of the interior re- quires that all visitors to the Hopi Indian reservation shall have permit issued by the superintendent and
 United States Indian agent who may be addressed care Hopi Training School, keam's Canyon, Arizona.

TO SAW sooooo FEET OF LUMBER

S. w. Menarey, who moved his saw mill to Garland Prairie several weeks ago, expecting to saw 150,000 feet of lumber, now has orders totaling over 500, 900 feet. There is possibility that this total may yet be further in creased. The farmers find that by buying the timber from the Forest Service and having it sawed by Men arey, they can build needed farm ini- provements at a comparatively low cost.-Williams News.

RED CROSS ORGANIZING
CLASSES IN SWIMMING

The American Red Cross is engaged
at present on a campaign to teach
accident prevention and first aid to
the injured to the men. women and
children In the United States, with
the idea of making every individual
his own frst-aid agent in case of
emergency, and to create volunteer
forces of men qualified for such duty
in case OF war, if war should come
again to. this country.
Classes in swimming and water life
saving methods have been organized
wherever chapters are near enough to
bodies of water of sufficient size to
permit such classes. In industrial
communities industrial first-aid and
life-saving is taught in factories and
in community centers. Good results
have been obtained everywhere thus
far. although the work is still more or
less in its infancy. This is one of the
interesting lines of activity followed
in the community center work Of the
Red Cross.

ARREST PASSENGER
 FUR TRAIN THEFTS

Assured by heavy breathing in lower and the staccato snoresi of occupants of various other berths in the Pullman car of the train speeding eastward from Yuma, Howard BraZee crept soft ly from upper to take up an un- solicited collection in the early hours of last Sunday morning.
 Such is the theory of Policeman Cutler who arrested Brazee when he alighted from Southern Pacific train here Sunday night and such is the theory of other officers who lnvesti- gated the robbery of passengers on the Pullman in which Brazee occupied up- per T. Their theory is supported by the fact that one of the passengers 1denu- fled s12O in bills of new currency bear ing consecutive serial numbers. The bills were found in the toe of shoe worn by Brazee when he alighted from the train here Several other passen- gers reported losses.
 F. B. Kelley, special investigator for the Southern Pacific railroad will ar rive in the city today to actively assist in the prosecution of BraZee who is now being held at the city jail. Brazee is a 19-year-old Phoenix boy. He was implicated with two others in a robbery of Korriclzs store three years ago when more than $5,000 in cash and merchan- disc was taken.

 MILITARY FUNERAL

High school cadets provided mil1- tary funeral for their friend and class mate yesterday when final rites were spoken over the remains of Jack Carr, 16year-old high school boy, who died Friday after an illness of less than "A hours. Practically every teacher and student of the school attended the ser- vices.
 Carr, a freshman at the high school, was stricken with appendicitis last Thursday night. He died the following morning following an operation He was one of the most popular members of the freshman class As an athlete, he was considered one of the best pros poets that had entered Phoenix high in recent years. He was a member of the varsity football squad last fall, though not regular on the team, and he was being relied upon to carry the pitching burden of the baseball team next spring. He pitched the Monroe school team of the grammar school league to victory last year.
 Services yesterday were conducted from the Baptist church at 4 o'clock. Members of the football team acted as pallbearers and escorts. A firing squad was also chosen from among their numbers. High school students and teachers filled the big church. The funeral procession to the cemetery was led by the high school band. fol- lowed by the cadet battalion.
 At the grave, additional services were held. A firing squad fired a sa- lute over the grave and a bugler sounded taps. Beautiful. floral offer ings were sent by the freshman class members of the faculty, and the high school athletic association.

Evidently the president did not think so, either. We did not feel that a fi- nancial disaster was impending as pre- dicted by MT. Atterbury, but. consid- cred it our duty to call his statements to the attention of the president. The president has stated unequivocally that financial appeals should be restricted to the interstate commerce commission.
 MT Atterbury made a serious mis- take by his in-considered action and has placed the railroad executives in an embarrassing position. It is to be dep1ored that the public was tenn porarily deceived.
 Now that financial aspects of the matter, however, are settled, we shall have to take up and answer before the board other features of Mir.

J. 5. OFFERS STATE
 MUCH EQUIPMENT;
 MADDOCK IN DOUBT
What shall We do ?,

What shall we do?"
 This is the question put up to the governor and the legislature yesterday by Thomas Maddock, state engineer, who forwarded the lawmakers and the chief executive copies of a telegram received from Major Bowlby, surplus supply officer with the bureau of pub lie roads, containing an offer to the state of war equipment for state road use.
 Before the legislature convened the head of the highway department as stunned the responsibility of accepting government equipment for the state at practically the cost of freight.
 ''In view of our financial conditions at the present time, however. we do not care to incur any additional lia- bility," says Engineer Maddock, in his what shall we do" letter.
 Major Bowlby's telegram is one of many that the highway department has received, according to MT. Maddock, whose letter follows:
 February '. 1921. Hon. Thos. F. Campbell. Governor of Arizona,
 We are ill receipt of the following telegram from Major Bowlby:
 There has been cleared to this de- partment at Columbus Ohio, 69 gaso- line engines. 50 horsepower and 163 BdSOllilG tllB1uSs IOiScpOHCA HIS equipment is new and in excellent con- dition. Engines are our-cylinder motors with zenith carburetor, Vest inghouse generator and starter, five inch cylinder manufactured by Pitts burg Model Engine Company. Pitts burg, Pa. Please advise by wire your requirements"
 tion following corrugated sheet steel roofing: 42.000 square feet 16 gauge and S50.000 square feet 22 gauge. Not distributed under provisions Kahn bill. Please wire your requirements.''
 Some of these engines and as much of the corrugated steel roofing 22 gauge as could be secured, would be very acceptable to this department.
 Prior to the meeting of the legisla- ture we have assumed the responsi- bility of accepting this government equipment which is secured by the state practically for the cost of the freight Tn view of our financial con- ditions at the present time. however, we do not care to incure any addi- tional liability.
 We are in receipt of similar mes sages nearly every day. Will you please suggest what we should do in regard to this matter?
 Yours very truly,
 THOMAS MADDOCK.

CHICAGO, Feb. 7-Arguments be- tween witnesses and the chair enliv- ened the session today of the railroad labor board hearing the railroad em- ployes' appeal for continuation of na- tional agreements Attempts to bring in jurisdictional controversies and charges of conspiracy against indepen- dent labor organizations were contin- ually ruled out by Chairman Barton After a lively session in which three independents finished their evidence the first day of employees testimony adjourned to take up other indepen- dent organizations tomorrow.
 Declaring that his organization had been denied a part in formulating the national agreements, P. F. Richardson president of the American Federation of Railroad Workers, charged violation of the. transportation act and sought relief from these tyrannical condi- tions." Charges of conspiracy ant discrimination were hurled against those instrumental in fixing rules gov erning certain employees of the Penn ident of the Order of Railroad Teleg- raphers. Dispatchers, Agents and Sig nal Men.
 An attempt to read an American Federation of Labor bulletin denounc- ing Mir Richardson and his organiza- ton was stopped by the chair, who de clared that the board was not inter ested in fight between organization for jurisdiction.
 Mir. Richardson insisted many rail roads had deprived the federation oi due representation, notwithstanding the law He said such discrimination had resulted in handicap to his or ganization and benefit to his oppo- nents.
 Out of much argument and question ing it was brought out that MT. Aus tins grievance was inability to mee the railroads to coordinate a varianc in rules on the Pennsylvania as re
 suit of the schedule laid down unde federal control. Only slight change were desired, MT Austin said. 1 . Rebuttal by the employees represen 1 tatives the railway executives reQues for abrogation of the national agree ments was put over until Thursda, on request of the employees.
