P. I. 4. REPRESENTED AT TEACHERS' MEET

That the Arizona Congress of Mothers and Parent Teacher associa- tions will have place on the program of the State Teachers association convention in November seems cer- tain in view of the fact that leading state educators favor the plan. H E. Hendricks, city superintendent of schools of Mesa and president of the association will prepare the program during the summer. It is understood that he already has planned a number of features and that he is to be asked outright shortly to recognize the State Congress of Mothers by giving one of it's members a few minutes on the program.
 Elsie Toles, state superintendent of public instruction, is of the opinion that the congress should be given recognition.
 Dr. R. B. von kleinSmid. president of the state university. also believes it is a good thing to have the interest of the organizat tion and thinks it should be asked to address the teach CTS outlining it's cooperative plan
 At the annual meeting of the Con gross of Mothers held early in the spring. q resolution was passed to the effect that the congress seek recognition from the state teachers association. The congress takes the view that it is the medium through which the educational department can reach the people and it's idea is to offer it's cooperation

Lord Hardinge has been here dur ing the week end consulting with Earl Curzon, foreign secretary and A. J. Balfour, lord president of the council, after having conferred with NJ. Briand in Paris. A semi official denial has been issued of the rumors current in the French press that Lord DAbernon, British ambas ssador at Berlin, had promised Upper Silesia to Germany on condition of her fulfill ment of the terms of the allied ulti- matum.
 Excitement caused in Paris seems to have been due to the idea that MT. Lloyd George had advocated the sending of troops by Germany to Upper Silesia, whereas the premier only contended that if the allies were unable to restore order they should not prevent Germany from inter vening
 The London Times in an editorial under the caption The Return of Good Will" alludes to this misunder- standing, and says:
 The marked subsistence of the ex- citement of the French press will be noted here. with relief and gratifi- cation. It seems to have been at tributable partly to defective reports of Mr. Lloyd Georges speech

WAS SATISFIED ID
 PAY FIGHTING FINE

I'm satisfield,' W. G. Carpenter declared in police court yesterday as he paid a fine of s15 for fighting. As he made the comment Carpenter looked at the heavy bandages worn by D. N. Schrock According to evi- dence offered the court, Carpenter resented Schrock's g interference in his domestic affairs. and meeting him at the corner of Fourth and Van Buren streets proceeded to stage a. fistic battle. He was getting the best of it when passersby came to the assist ance of Schrock and both men were placed under arrest. Charges against .5chrock were dismissed
 Corrine Palmer, alias Josephine Moll, negro, added interest to the police court routine by attempting to establish an alibi in defending her self on charges of soliciting and lar ceny. Sam Carasco charged that on March 10 the defendant accosted him on the street and asked if he wasn't carrying a revolver in his hip pocket. He alleged that she insisted on find ing out for herself, but that he pushed her away and proceeded up the street. Later he missed his pocketbook. Carasco said that he saw the defendant on two later oc- casions, but she eluded him both times until he secured her arrest last week.
 In defending herself the negro said she had been in Fl Paso for the past four months. She failed to con- vince the judge of this and was as- sessed a fine of $40.

IRepubiIcan A. p. Leased Wirel

NEW YORK, May 1e.-Confident of victory, Georges Carpentier, chal- lenger of Jack Dempsey, heavywei Int champion, arrived today to begin training.
 The Frenchman who diselnbarke ed at noon from :ne French steamer La Savoie, did not go directly to his training camp a, Manhasset, Long Is- land, as he had planned, but spen. the night here
 He plans to go to his camo to- morrow. beginning training Wednes- day and keeping at it virtually with out interrupti1 n until tho fight starts at Jersey City.
 Carpenter had lunch with George L. CTex) Richard, promoter of the bout, immediately after landi1g They discussed details concerning the fight. The Frenchman's confidence of winning was apparent when he in Quired of Rickard if a suitable Ameri- can challenger would be available within six months after the Jersey City battle if he won Rickard as sured Carpenter that several -Arneri- can heavyweights were being de- veloped who would be suitable oppo- nents. Carpentier declared if he won he would be glad to return to America to defend the title.
 The Frenchman, at his usual fight ing weight of 175 pounds, said he is in excellent condition. He has been training throughout the winter. For the first week at Menhasset the work will be comparatively light. Aft er that more rigorous program will be adopted with Joe Jeanette, negro heavyweight, directing the sparring partners
 Next week Rickard will accompany Carpenter to the site of the arena in Jersey City. Dempsey, in company with Rickard, will view the ring site tomorrow or three days later.
 Carpenter was greeted enthusias- tically wherever he went Several thousand persons waited for hours near the entrance of the pier to greet him. Carpenter, smiling, had diff culty making his way to the waiting automobile. Through it all he re- tained his grip on the leash which held in check the big black Besgian police dog, his constant companion Included In the crowd were many fel- low countrymen, who shouted en- couragement in their native tongue.

MISS ALICE NORTON APPEARS IN RECITAL AT SCHOOL OF MUSIC

Of the many high class recitals which have taken place during the present school year at the Arizona School of Music, the one last eve ming deserves to rank with the best.
 The occasion was the song recital of Alice Bartlett Norton, a pupil of Walter Hastings OIney, head of the vocal department While Miss Nor ton has sung often on public pro- grame. this was the first time she has given an entire program, and that her friends have had the opportunity of hearing her in a variety of selec- tions, ranging from difficult ora torio and operatic arias to more sim .ple ballads. Her voice is clear high soprano of unusual sweetness, of the coloratura type. The flexi- bility and clearness of her tones were displayed to particularly fine advan- tage in the Bell Song," from Lakme. which she sang beautifully. In fact. after the first number Miss Norton gained in ease and assurance and presented every number pleasingly and artistically.
 An unusual coincidence of the re- citaI, was the appearance of two other Misses Norton on the program, not related, however, to the singer.
 Gladys Norton, gifted young pupil of Mrs. Dwight Earl Easley, read Alfred Moves The Highway man" in a natural unaffected manner which is the charm of the public reader. And her sister, Vera Norton, pupil of Robert Saunders, who is equally gifted as violinist. played in place of Meredith Bishop, who was unable to appear. Her numbers the "Berceuse" from Jocelyn, and Sou venir de Wieniawski," by Haesche. were rendered with fine tone and style. Mrs. J. O. McVey accompa- nied the violinist, and William Orth the singer. Both rank with the finest accompanists in the city playing sympathetically and with true mu- Sical taste.
 The next evening recital at the Ari- zona School of Music will take place Monday evening, May 32. with Susan Merle Baldwin in a costume pro- gram.

Tension In Upper Silesia Crisis Is Allayed By Holiday
TRepubIIcan A. p. Leased WIrel


 LONDON May 16.-Intervention of the Whitsun holiday brought slight easing of the tension in the Silesian crisis. No new developments was re- ported today and apparently nothing further has been decided on with ref erence to the meeting of the supreme council which probably will not be held before next week as debate in the French chamber is expected to occupy several days.
 The view held here is that the delay will serve in allaying passion on busi- ness sides and providing a more favorable atmosphere for calm dis cussion. Moreover, it is believed that Premier Briand of France was not averse to seizing the opportunity afforded by MT. Lloyol Georges s speech to assume a strong patriotic attitude which would assure him of big vote of confidence.
 Having secured a vote of confi- dence it is thought Premier Briand may enter the conference better equipped for a compromise settle ment-
 Official communications were made today through the Polish legation here, voicing Poland's determination to respect provisions of the Versailles treaty and these assurances com bined with the attitude of the Ger man government and press in repudi ating any attempt to take military action in Silesia, are regarded as having greatly eased the situation.

The normal rain fall from January to date is 2.79 inches
 However, what Phoenix has lost in rainfall has been somewhat balanced by an excess of Is degrees in tenn perature since January. The ther-- mometer crawled up to a maximum of 94 degrees yesterday. the highest on this corresponding date for the past 26 years was 100 degrees.

 "E,verybody wanted to get rid Of the medical bootlegger, some suggest ing that his products be taxed if he could not be suppressed. R.epresen- tative Hill, Republican, Maryland, who has introduced a resolution to repeat the Volstead law, urged an amendment which would pat prohi- bition enforcement in the hands of the attorney general. Asked if he thought it would lead to more rigid enforcement, MT. Hill replied he thought it would.
 "Then if you are trying to repeal the Volstead act, why so solicitous about its enforcement? asked Representative Tillman, Democrat. Arkansas. AS long as we have the law it ought to be enforced" he de- clared. But when you have a law that is a national joke, because of non-e enforcement, it is calculated to bring all laws in contempt"
 While the Nolstead law was being shot at and defended, members of the committee claimed it was not near as drastic as Illinois and Maine prohibition statutes.
 Representative Hersey, Republican, Maine, referring to 50 years of pro- hibition in his state, told how it had worked
 "All I have to say about the Maine prohibition law" replied MT. Hill. was that my great uncle helped to frame it and he died regretting it.

ARCOLA, H., May Misrepresentation on the Chicago board of trade by a depositor who was allowed to over draw his account was blamed today for the closing of the Arcola State bank yesterday with a reported short age of s400.000.
