MOTHER TELLS IF
 EVENTS THAT LED
 TODOUDLE TRAGEDY

In a grief so great that tears would not come to her eyes and in a shak- ing voice. Mrs Nancy Lee Harris, the aged mother of William Riley Harris who early Sunday morning killed his former wife and then end- ed his own life, sat on the porch of her home at 1515 East Adams street and related events that led up to the double trogedy.
 She must have done something to him." the mother said, ito cause him to kill her, for he told me only last Thursday that he loved her. but that she had deceived him so often that he had no confidence in her.
 My son met Geneva about three years ago. Mrs Harris said, 'and sometime later he married her. Her name then was Martinez. About three months afterward she brought suit and got a divorce in October. 1919, and in May of the next year she went to Colorado. Frequently after she got her divorce, Mrs. Har- ris said. her sons former wife told him that she had made a mistake and wanted him back again. When she left for Colorado, Mrs. Harrie said, she planned to come back to Phoenix in October, 1920, and re- marry her son.
 Instead Of doing so. Mrs. Harris said. Geneva married A. L. Jones, for whom she worked in the fall of 1919 as a Spanish interpreter as his ranch near Phoenix. The marriage took place at Trinidod, Colo, and when my son learned of 1t he told me he thought he was now rid of Geneva. With her new husband, Mrs. Jones went to Texas and lived with him a week. During this time she sent my son letters and then came back to Phoenix My son was working at the Arizona Eastern shops and Mrs Jones wotid fix up lunch and eith- CT meet him after work or come to my home where my son lived and call him out They would so out for a picnic trip in Mrs. Jones' buggy and this kept up for several weeks.

PLEASES
 LARGE AUDIENCE

A fine audience assembled at the Arizona School of Music last night to listen to an unusually interesting pro- gram given by three young pupils of the school. Leslie Virginia Brown. piano pupil of Franz Darvas: Vera Norton, violin pupil of Robert Saun- ders, and George Crosse, vocal pupil of Walter Hastings Olney. \ Little Miss Brown, who is but 13 years of age. has already developed the tschnic of much older student and her playing is clean-cut and de- cisive. She displayed very fine musical taste. She opened the pro- gram with the sonata ..Pathetique'' by Beethoven. playing the entire so- nata splendid1y. Her group of mod ern numbers were loudly applauded, and met with much favor by the audience. But the Schumann num- bers gave the little artist an oppor- tunity for more depth of feeling and were very well played.
 George Crosse, the young Italian tenor, in whom many people are greatly interested, appeared second on the program in a wonderful aria from Verdis opera "Rigoletto." His voice is really beautiful quality and
  his first public appearance about six weeks ago. His group of ballad also pleased very much.
 Vera Norton. a young girl barely in her teens, drew fine tore from her violin and has but to gain sese apz confidence in herself to m9ke feafly a fine public performer. The pleasing program closed with an especially beautiful dance by one of the Saturday morning classes of E Paula Beware. Not only did the 1G little girls all look very pretty in the l dainty gowns of pretty colors, but the dance was most artistically executed and made 8 beautiful closing picture to the following fine program: Senate Pathetique Op. 13.

GRAVES
 WERE FORGOTTEN

There were no flowers or flags to decorate the little plots of ground in abandoned Odd Fellows cemetery which marks the pauper's last resting place yesterday Phoenicions, in their plans to tribute soldiers dead, over looked the barren graves of forgotten men and women.
 It is not often that Phoenix forgets it's forgotten" dead. The pauper's grave, ordinarily, feels the touch of human kindness on Decoration Day. Some local organization, civic or ben evolent, has, in years gone by, taken upon it's shoulders the task of deco- rating these graves. But yesterday was an exception.
 The oversight was due to thought lessness-or rather to haste in draft ing of a program for the Decoration Day ceremonies, 1t was explained.

CRUDE O|L STILL
 S1.60 PER BARREL

While gasoline took a drop of 2 cents on Saturday. from 31 F cents to 291s cents, the price of crude oil still remains a S1.60 per barrel in tank car lots. f. o. b. Seguro. The drop of 25 cents in crude oil, from S1.85 to $1.60, took place about two weeks ago and there was no further reduction on Saturday, as might have been in ferred from the story in The Repub lican Monday morning
 The new service station of the Standard Oil company at First ave nue and Van Buren street was opened Saturday under the management of F. J. Paine. The service at this sta ton is to be modelled after that of the Standards service stations in Los Angeles, it was announced yes terday

 MAN VOT YET BEEN
 SETTLED BY BOARD

Whether Michan Martin will be hanged on June 10 for the murder of Arthur De Steuader, Canadian sol- dfer. has not been decided by the board of pardons and paroles. The matter was left open after being given consideration at a two days meeting of the board following a preliminary session on Friday after noon
 Attorney General W. J. Galbraith declared yesterday that what had been brought out up to the present time was not in Martins favor. Dr. A M- Tuthill,. commander Of the Frank Luke Post Of the American Legion, is one of the foremost work CTS in the attempt to have the death sentence commuted to life imprison- ment. Representatives of the Amer ican Legion post at Florence also ap- peared in behalf of Martin, while he was represented by counsel Interest of certain members Of the legion here and in Florence is based on the fact that Martin was in the army. De Steunder also served his country overseas, fighting with the allies for many months
 Sheriff Davis of Yavapai county and others gave information to the board not brought out during the course of the trial which strengthened the case against him. More details of the quarreling of De Steunder and Martin were outlined to the board than are Contained in the transcript of evidence to which close attention has been given for many weeks It was Shown that Martin and De Steunder sIuarreled frequently oyel money mstters on their motor toul across country.

kANsANs HARD TO CATCH

Cars from Kansas, and bearing the license plates of the state, must be careful in running by a triffic police man on a lower corner of Fifth ave- nue, New York; He Is watching for them.
 You'd be surprised at the differ ept places from which cars come. ? said the cop. And the funny thing about 1t Is that I seem to have to call down out of town drivers all the time. I suppose it's because they don't know the traffic rules.
 For the last two years I've kept . record of the out-of-town licenses that I've had to jot down to report I've got one from every state in the Onion except one. and several from Porto Rico.
 The missing state is Kansas. I'd certainly Ike to complete the list and so I'm looking for a Kansas driver. He'd better watch his step New York Sun.
