SELF WORSHIP IS OUTSTANDING SIN
 PASTOR DECLARES

Self worship is the outstanding sin of today, was the declaration of the Rev. J. A. Stavely at the second
 night of the revival services in the First Methodist church last night.
 These services are being held every
 night this week, the public being in-
 yited to attend.
 The text chosen by Dr. Stavely last
 night was from the third verse of the
 eleventh Psalm: If the foundations
 be destroyed, what can the righteous
 do?" The speaker gave as five fun damental clements of solid founda- ton:
 First: God, the transcedent ruler of heaven and earth; Second: The Word. through which He gives His will; Third: Divinity of Jesus; Fourth: The necessity of atone ment through Christ; 1 Firth: The new birth. l In dealing with the first element | the speaker declared that God is be- | ing submerged by the enlargement oi | the personality of mere man and | pointed out that self interest and sell 1 indulgence lead only to destruction. Without God there is chaos and l anarchy" he said. Special musical numbers by the l Conner trio were features of tht 1 services.

k|WAN|ANS STAGE ! WHITE ELEPHANT
 CHRISTMAS FROL|C

All the kiwanians of Phoenix, with ,ue exception of James II. Mulreir, became kids again yesterday during .ne hour and a half the club was s.aging it's annual "wIiite elephant Snrlstmas-and Mulrein. according so Shalrman George McNeil, is kid snpst of the time. Nevertheless. Mulrein was the recipient of more than his real share of the gifts of the oay, which affected neither the gen. Aallty nor the beauty of his voice.
 The white elephant Christmas of the k1wanis club is an affair in which the members give to other members gifts received by them on Christmas day which are not want ed. It is to be presumed, however, that these gifts are added to by the caprice or fun-loving propensities of various kiwanians, so that the event is usually one of uproarious merri- ment.
 That of yesterday was no exception 10 the rule. In the front of the hall and near the speakers tables was a gaily dcorated Christmas tree and on it and around were hung and piled the gifts of the day Chairman McNeil acted as Santa Claus. with two or three other Kiwanians belping him to get the presents to those for whom they were intended
 A list of the gifts given yesterday would be as interesting as lengthy. Everything that wild fancy or excit- ed imagination could conceive in the way of present surrounded the tree, and the fact that each recipient of a gift was required to show it to the assembled club members de- tracted not a bit from the joy of the occasion.
 The attendance prize, given by Fred Ensign, was won by Doc Munson. John Hausner will furnish the prize next week. The guests of the club were J. E. Kinney, Colum- bus. Ohio; Jacob Hausner and John Schneider of Newport. ky and George w. Campbell of Phoenix
 The newly elected officers and di- fectors of the club for 1922 will be Installed next Tuesday, when Jay AL kire, incoming president, will deliver bis first speech. The old and new officers and directors of the club will neet at luncheon at the Grand cafe this noon.

ASK DISMISSAL IF SPRUNCER CHARGES

The hearing of a motion to set aside the Indictment brought by the grand jury against H. C. Sprunger. former cashier of the Central bank of Wickenburg, was postponed yester- day by Judge Stanford until this morning The motion filed yester- day to the indictment asks that it be set aside by the court on the grounds that the names of all the witnesses examined by the grand jury in the case were not endorsed or inserted in the indictment. and that persons other than those author ized by law were present when the grand jury was considering the in dictment- The indictment returned against Sprunger charges him with accepting deposits in an insolvent bank while an officer of the institu- ton.
 In an affidavit filed with the mo-

tion to set aside, Sprunger alleges he was examined by the grand jury as a witness in the case and declares that his name is not endorsed nor inserted in the indictment as a wit ness in the case. He further alleges Fred J. Elliott, an attorney. was present with the grand jury when a portion of the testimony was taken in the case. The name of Elliott. he says, was endorsed on the indict- ment as witness in the case. Elliott he alleges. was not member of the grand jury and not a person author ized by law to be present with the grand jury.

 The matter was reported immedi- ately to the police, but as yet the burglars have not been apprehended.
 The house had been entered through a side door. A hole was cut in the screen and the French win dows forced open. The house was tracked with mud as though the in truders had been there some little time, although a diamond brooch of Mrs. Prochaska remained in plain view.
 A new gun hanging on the wall was evidently overlooked and as yet noth- ing of value has been missed by the ProchasEas.

CAVE CREEK FLOOD
 VAS SMALL AFFAIR

That about 1000 acre feet of water from Cave Creek poured through a break in the Arizona canal Monday night, tearing an S0-foot hole in the canal bank, was announced by the Salt River Water Users association yesterday.
 A triclSle of water was still run ming through the break yesterday afternoon. None of the flood waters. however, went beyond the Grand canal. Some fear was expressed by the association yesterday that the water soaked condition of the ground, allied with the break in the Arizona canal. will make another flood within a day or two a serious thing. The amount of water in the flood of Mon day night contrasts with 1000 in the Cave Creek flood of August
 In contrast with the small amount of water in this last Cave Creek ram page, 25,000 second feet of water was pouring over the diversion dam at Granite Reef yesterday afternoon. with association officials looking for 30,000 second feet when the crest ar rived. This amount of water is equal to three feet over the entire length of the dam-1, 900 feet. The water is carrying much brush, logs and general debris.

REFUSE ID GIVE UP
 TAXATION CLAIMS
 FORRATE REDUCTION

Following the telegram of Judge Twohy to Twohy Brothers last Sat urday announcing the decision of the Santa Fe and Southern Pacific railways to reduce the rate on ce- ment from California points and Fl Paso to Phoenix, from $S to S6.S0, a telegram was received by the local representatives of those roads yes terday, showing that there is string the waiving by the county highway commission of the reparation claims for excessive rates already paid.
 This telegram is signed by G. W. Luce of the Southern Pacific and W. G. Barnwell Of the Santa Fe. It is as follows:
 Please together advise Maricopa county highway commission that Santa F'e and Southern Pacific have decided to make rate $6.S0 per ton on cement from southern California and from Fl Paso to Phoenix and points taking Phoenix rates: to Has sayampa and Litchfield branches rate will be 40 cents; no change to Chandler and Hayden branches. This with understanding that no repara- tion will be made on cny cement which has already moved. This rate will become effective earliest possi- ble date and will apply only on ship ments made on and after that date We have asked interstate cemmis- sion to give us permission publish rate on less than statutory notice Have advised Twohy Brothers here this morning in accordance with above. Answer.
 l "G. W. LUCE.
 ''W. c. BARNWELL." 1 When this matter was presented yesterday to the highway commis' | sion, that body declined to waive claims for reparation and issued tht 1 following statement in telegraphic re- l ply to the foregoing:
 Twill welcome any reduction II l cement rates, but account of cas-
 now pending before l. C. C., canno
 agree to waive rights for reparation 1 also that the S6.S0 rates will make i l difficult if not impossible for con | tractors to compete with other typei l of pavement not carrying such { | heavy tonnage for shipment"
 The claims for reparation amour | at the present time to about s15,00'
 on the basis of a final rate of S6.S0 1 But at the time of the filing of tn 1 complaint it was against the unrea | condolences of the rate which tn
 companies had advanced from s5.4C
 then the Tucson rate.
 The I. C. C. examiner intimate' | that such a rate was reasonable. anC if in the end that view is sustaine'
 by the commission, the reparatiol
 would not fall far short of s175, ,00C
 to say nothing of a still lower rate
 than that offered now by the roads.

SHOPMEN WON'T



While brotherhood chiefs, in con-
ference at Clevel-nd. stated their
Willingness to meet the executives and
the board, it was indicated they had
had made no plans for suspending the
strike plans pendin the negotiations.
Reports from the San Antonio head
quarters of the strike of six hundred
trainmen on the International & Great
Northern, called for noon today, de-
clared it would be "a 100 per cent af-
fair"
s NJ FELTON,, president of the Chi
cago Great Western and chairman at
the meeting of western executives
here yesterday, declared the executives
void obey not only the order to ap-
pear for the conference, but also the
boards order that the situation re-
main unchanged pending the confer
ence and the boards decision result
ing from it.
Measures to combat the strike will
be abandoned, he said, until the hear
ing. but advertisements to fill the
places of strikers appeared today in
st. Louis newspapers.
The strike decision of the eleven
other railroad unions, comprising
three-fourths of the railroad employees,
also was expected today. Leaders of
the stationary firemen and mainten-
ance of way employees voted yesterday
to call a strike but set no date, an
upon the shopmen, whose executive
committee meets today to vote upon
a walk out.
Only One Railroad Defiant.
The only indication of defiance on
the part of the railroads was seen in
the action of the fremont & Gulf
railroad. a 66-mile logging line in
Louisiana, of which ]. Stanley Joyce,
the Chicago millionaire who is being
sued for divorce by Peggy Hopkins
Joyce is the president. This road
placed an open shop" order in effect
last night. The labor board peremp-
torily ordered cancellation of the open
shop plan but no word had been re-
ceived today as to whether the road
had obeyed the boards mandate.
There was a disposition in official
circles to be optimistic with regard to
the latest move of the labor board to
avert the strike. While it was pointed
out that the Loard has authority to
summon before it at any time whom
ever 1t pleases and failure to comply
is punishable by contempt of court
proceedings, it was believed the &C
ton of the board in calling the union
chiefs and the rail heads before it,
paved the way for court proceedings
to halt the strike in event the union
chiefs cannot be persuaded to rescind
the strike order
