TRIBUTE TO DEAD |S PAID BY LEGISLATURE
Memory Of Fallen Soldiers Honored In Joint Session And Memorial = Report On House Bills

With the wheels of legislation stopped at 1O:30 o'clock, the Fifth Ari- zona legislature paid a tribute to the memory of four Arizona boys who fell turned yesterday = Henry Garner of Phoenix, Albert Ray of Scottsdale, David F. Campbell of Ray and Clay Mcknight of Chloride.
 Both houses convened regularly at 10 o'clock, the house immediately taking 8 recess until half past ten. The senate in its brief session received sev- eral new bills and then its members. secretary and chaplain crossed to the house chamber, where a feeling invo- cation was made by Chaplain Cocks of the senate, who prayed that the task which these boys had laid down with their lives might be taken up and com pleted by their surviving countrymen.
 The orator of the occasion was Judge J. c. Phillips. who spoke briefly but with deep feeling. He said: When our country determined that a state of war had come the selective | draft brought from Arizona its flower of manhood. The Arizona boys with little preparation went to the battle fields of France and endured the perils of war and the hardships of the trench es. None of the men who had gath cred there from the uttermost parts of the earth bore themselves with greater heroism.
 Without the efforts of these Ameri- can boys all that the forefathers had labored and made sacrifices to estab- fish here would have been lost. The | blood spilled in the war of the revo- lution that a nation dedicated to free dom might be established would have | been wasted. But for the boys of America, all who died in the Civil war that that nation might be perpetuated would have died in vain. Civilization would have been broken down and crushed. But we are enjoying the fruits of their heroism and their sacri- | fices.
 When these Arizona boys went away they forced parting, comforting smile for their mothers. I'm coming back they said. But many of them did not come back. Three times the flowers of France have blopmed over 50,000 of them. And there they lie, their memory to be ever honored by their countrymen, for no more heroic dead ever were given in sacrifice than I these"
