thousands OF miles from the De-
loved state and by the purest of ac-
cidents and smallest of chances there
has been discovered by pioneer
Tucsonan an unheralded writing by
former citizen of the Old Pueblo
which has upset or at least placed
under inquiry every established ira
dition as to the origin of the word
Arizona" and has even further con-
nected the region through the same
channel with the beginning of the
entire human race.
Rasing it's facts upon an ancient
Aztec myth, the theory is further
substantiated by the Mohave Ian
guage, purest of Indian tongues, by
the author, who while remote and
unknown in Arizona has without
doubt obtained his traditions through
personal investigation conducted in
Arizona.
A small publication, little more
than a pamphlet and coming from
the press As years ago, was the
source of an old yet novel theory as
to the name OF Arizona. and was ac-
cldentally located by Harry Drach-
man, local merchant, during a re-
cent trip to Washington. D. c. Upon
the shelves of a magnificent library
Is was found in a remote section of
another valuable library which had
been the heritage left by a late citi-
zen.
Hiram c. Hodge, author OF the lit
tie book, had according to its state
ments spent several years in Arizona
in the early days of its development,
probably about 1870, and had spent a
considerable portion of this time un-
doubtedly in Tucson. Many pages of
the publication, now out of print,
were devoted to Tucson and those
desiring information in regard to the
then growing town, were cited the
names of several prominent mer-
chants of the early days with whom
they might Communicate. Names fami-
liar to the pioneers of the Old Pueblo
were found within the pages of the
book. proving beyond doubt the au
thenticity of the personal investiga-
tions of Hodge by the accuracy OF
their information and data.
Who Hodge may have been and
whether he is still living are un-
known and investigation to that end
has been without avail. The few OF
those pioneers yet living who remem-
Der TUCSON in the early seventies
fail to recall to their minds any such
person as Hodge, this however. being
emphasized by them as no reason
whatever, to assume any doubt as
to the truth Of his statements since
many thousands were virtually tram
sients in that period and remained
only a few weeks, months or years
in the Old Pueblo.
That the author also conducted his
Investigations among the Mohave In
dians is also likelihood. this being
concluded from the manner of his
writings and his apparent familiarity
with their language and traditions
The Mohave language is described by
him as by far the most perfect and
complete of any of the Indian dia-
let's of this country. this being sur
prising information to many Ian
guage students.

DESPONDENT SENDS
BULLET INTO BRAIN

Despondent because Of i'll health,
]. C. Williamson, travelling sales
man, sent a bullet from .22 calibre
revolver through his right temple at
his home, $50 North Fourth street, at
1:10 o'clock yesterday afternoon. He
died almost instantly.
The deceased had been a sufferer
from bronchial trouble for years and
came to Phoenix from Douglas lit
tie more than a year ago in the hopes
that the climatic change would bene-
fit him. His health continued to fail,
however and shortly after his arrival
here he developed such an acute form
of the disease that he was confined
to a bed in st. Joseph's hospital for
nearly six months.
After his discharge from the hospi-
tai. he continued to show slight inn
provement for a time only to suffer
another relapse. His action yester-
day was a result of his gradually
failing strength, the wife declared.
Persons hearing the shot immedi-
ately summoned DIR. A. A. Shelley.
but the man was dead before he ar
rived he said. Death must have been
practically instantaneous, the physi-
clan said.

suit for damages for injuries, alleg-
ing negligence on the part of the ap-
pellee. his failure to give warning Of
his approach or to have his car un-
der control. The plaintiff was
awarded judgment from which an ap-
peal was taken.
There were several assignments of
error, among them erroneous rulings
by the court in rejecting the defen-
dant's instructions. There was one
contention that the plaintiff had no
business on the roadway; that her
place was on the sidewalk Against
that 1t was shown that the sidewalk
at that point was in bad condition.
One of the assignments Of error
was that the court refused TO give
an instruction that one about to
cross a street is bound to look both
ways for vehicles. The supreme
court said: "The law imposes no such
duty upon pedestrian under the cir
cumstances supposed. A pedestrian
is not bound before attempting to
cross a street, as a matter of law,
to look both ways for approaching
vehicles. The requirement is to ex-
ercise reasonable care" 1t was also
the duty of the appellant to exercise
ordinary care to avoid injury and ii is
the duty Of pedestrians TO exercise
the same degree Of care for their own
safety. "The law implies reciprocal
obligations.
The appellant had a right to drive
his car on any part Of the roadway
but that right was not to be exercised
without respect to the rights Of
others.

MANAGER THOMPSON
TELLS REASON VERDE
WATER IS DELAYED

Why the Verde water has not yet
been turned into the distributing
mains Of the city system for general
use was explained Saturday bV V. A.
Thompson, city manager, in the fol-
lowing definite statement:
"There are no engineering diff
culties nor any city politics involved
in the Verde water supply question.
The water has been running from the
point of intake through the redwood
lines since December 10 and has been
diverted into the Van Buren, street
canal instead Of the city mains be-
cause laboratory analysis has con-
tinued to show slight pollution.
During the past few weeks the
daily tests at the pathological labor
atory here has shown a steady re-
duction in the bacteria Ncount from
1880 to less than 100, the present
showing"
When the water is approved by
the laboratory and by DIR. II. X. Beau
champ, city health officer, II will be
turned into the city mains, according
to Mr.. Thompson. The flow and
pressure is ample 10 meet all require
ments. it Is stated. and turn OF
one valve will fill the city mains
with the soft water within a very
short time.
A liquid chlorine plant for purify
ing water has been installed at the
point of intake and its operation is
proving very satisfactory. It is the
belief OF those in charge Of the work
that when this apparatus is adjusted
to proper strength the bacteria will
practically disappear.
Il am OF the opinion that Verde
water will be on tap at every Phoe-
nix faucet by February J." declared
the city manager.

RULING IN
FAULKNER CASE IS
REVERSED BY COURT

An administrator of an estate pri-
marily represents the creditors of it.
If there are no debts against an
estate. administration of 1t is not alb
solutely necessary.
If an estate has not been probated
within a long term of years after
the death of the decedent. the pre-
sumption is that there were no debts
or that they have become outlawed.
These were the points on which
the case of Quin Faulkner. Laura
Richardson and Elizabeth Harris. ap-
pellants against Edward John Faux
ner, administrator of the estate of
Ellen Faulkner and other heirs of
Ellen Faulkner. this county reversed.
in an opinion of the supreme court
on Saturday.
Ellen Faulkner, the wife OF the
first named appellant. died some
eight years ago, leaving an estate
which, with the consent of all the
heirs, was later sold and invested
by Mr.. Faulkner in other property.
Some years later several of the
heirs filed a petition for the appoint
ment of John Edward Faulkner as
administrators of the estate. The pc
tition was resisted by Quin Faulkner,
Laura IllCndfuSOH anu fAllIODttn
Harris. who asked for the appoint
ment of Mrs. Richardson. Edward
John Faulkner was ordered appoint
ed and from this order "and all other
orders and decisions made" an ap-
peal was taken.
The supreme court found that the
property bought with the estate
money was not the estate of the de-
cedent and subject to administra-
tion. The opinion quotes from JUS
tice Cooley: Formal proceedings for
the settlement of an estate are never
necessary if all the parties concerned
can agree to dispense with them.
Family arrangements for this pur-
pose, it is said. are favorites Of the
law and, when fairly made are never
allowed to be disturbed by the par
ties, or by any others for them" 1t
is therefore held that the disposition
OF the estate of Ellen Faulkner was
one sanctioned by law. A settlement
of the rights of the heirs growing out
of this arrangement must be had by
other proceedings than probate.

expedition as rapidly as needed. In
addition all information available is
being checked by surveys In the field
to insure the accuracy Of the maps
to be prepared,
Skilled surveyors, rod men and
other assistants are included in the
local expedition, which. while dis
tinctly military. viii also be of great
value to the United States geological
survey. Captain Bermel stated We'd
nesday that the field to which he has
been assigned has never been mapped
previously and that there are no for
mer records upon which to base the
work.
Dividing the field into plots Is by
is miles in measurements, the expe-
dition Is completing these sections
separately. About four months will
be required for completion OF each
district, according to the estimates Of
the staff of the party. The entire
area to be mapped comprises 220 by
80 miles.
Two parties are at the present time
in the field. both being encamped a
short distance north of the Mission
swimming pool and receiving in
structions and supplies from the Tue
son detachment.
While difficult sections to survey
are found in the mountain regions.
Captain Bermel declares much of the
southern Arizona plain copntry is
rapidly disposed of by the party.
Lack Of trails upon which the motor
trucks used may drive has constltu-
ted handicap to the surveyors,
which it is expected a consignment
Of horses will soon eliminate.

New Meaning Of "Arizona" Found
In Legendary Stories Of Aztecs

ing "sun beloved maiden" has failed
to call any memory forth and creates
a virgin field for research in tradi-
tions.
Definite connection is given be-
tween the origin of Arizona and that
of the human race of Indians to the
Mohave tribe who adopted it as their
own. the word Aribunia being based
upon the Aztec myth and upon the
later languages of the Mohave.
Words would be wasted in at
tempting to relate more clearly and
more pleasingly the tradition than
does Hodge himself in the selection
copied by Mr.. Drachman While in
Washington as follow:
The Mohave language, which is by
far the most perfect and most COM
plete of any of the Indian dialects
OF the country, has two words of
nearly the same meaning: "Ari, -
meaning the sun, holy, good, or beau
tiful, and 'Zunia," maid or maiden;
which together means the land of
the beautiful or lovely maiden. This
may be the true meaning OF the
word Arizona.
Another definition is this, "Ari, "
from the Mohave, meaning beautiful,
or good, and 'zuna" from the Span
ish, zone. and taken together, the
land of the beautiful zone.
Both of these definitions seem to
be well made, and both are quite
significant and expressive, as is the
following myth:
"The earth is the offspring of the
sky. Long prior to the present race
of men, the earth was peopled by a
race of giants who in time died off,
leaving the earth uninhabited. After
long time, a celstical virgin, a
child of the 13 great deities who ruled
all things, came down to earth, and
being well pleased, remained for a
long time its sole inhabitant.
"Once when in deep sleep, a drop
of dew from heaven fell on her, and
she conceived and bore two chill
dren, son and daughter, from whom
have sprung all the people of the
earth. The name OF this celestial
virgin was Arizzuna, the beautiful, or
beloved maiden"

Entering into virgin fields, a mill
tary mapping expedition composed of
a full staff of officers, orderlies and
assistants, have recently established
Headquarters and offices in Tucson
under the leadership of Captain p. Il.
Bermel. The present personnel of
the expedition numbers 81, assigned
from the Tenth Cavalry. Fort Hua-
chuca. and from the Twenty fourth
Infantry, Columbus, New Mexico, to
the detail. Enlargements in the per-
sonnel and equipment of the party
are expected in the very near future
by Captain Bermel.
From the office headquarters I'm
rooms on the second floor of the city
hall, where drafting rooms and other
equipment has been arranged, Cap
tain Bermel will direct the compre-
hensive military survey and topo-
graphical mapping which will COM
prise all of the territory south of a
line running east and west through
Maricopa, Arizona, and lying between
Tucson and Yuma, in general way.
While many years will be required
to bring the immense project to con-
summation for the government, Cap
tain Bermel states the staff will
probably be changed from time to
time and the expedition remain in
the field indefinitely.
An increase of nine men in the
number in the expedition Is antici-
pated promptly and Captain Bermel
has applied for horse equipment to
facilitate the progress in the noun
tain districts of southern Arizona.
A military encampment near Blen-
man park, recently erected, provides
housing for the party, although field
maintain separate
camps while on the several projects.
Starting at Tucson. the survey will
gradually work westward toward
Yuma. The headquarters eventually
to be transferred to Ajo and later to
Yuma. Plains, mountains, streams
and all levels of topography are be-
ing depicted in detail on the maps by
the craftsmen of the party on the
basis Of a great number of air photo
graphs and field surveys.

the internal operations of the cham
ber. The subject of nomination Of
directors has been given great I'M
portance ever since the organization
Of the chamber. The founders Of the
