seemed as though the matter was
settled Governor Lowden definitely
refused TO accept. however. This
created confusion and then the bal

personal reasons I was obliged to
leave the Convention and take the

WOman's Club Meeting

At their regular meeting Friday
the members of the Woman's club
devoted the afternoon to the study
of the beautiful oratorio, Daniel.
Mrs. Walter Martin read the story
Of Daniel in the lions den, while
full-throated voices pictured in song
his persecution and final triumph
over his enemies.
The inspiring choruses were sung
by the choral club of the Woman's
club, directed by Mrs. Martin, and the
Girls choral club of the high school,
directed by Miss Hortense Miller
These were beautifully rendered. 1t
is indeed gratifying to see the girls
of high-school age show such a
sympathetic understanding of real
musical art as that displayed in their
of the oratorio.
Only a third of the choruses were
sung Friday. The Woman's club has
with Mrs. Walter Martin,
who is directing the Daniel, to have
it produced in full during Music week
in May. An attempt will be made
to have at least sixty male and fe-
male voices in the choruses at that
time, and the leads will be inter
preted by the same singers who filled
them Friday.
All those who can sing, men women,
boys and girls, are asked to report
to Mrs. Martin or Mrs. Horace Evans,
who will arrange for try-outs. The
different organizations of the city
have people with good voices, and
these are urged to report A pro-
duction of the oratorio during Music
week is not only worthwhile but
appropriate. The people
should take an interest in it and
make it as successful as possible.

Evangelist Crockett, who is hold
ing meetings at the Christian church

tonight, or rather he will conclude

those woh heard him last Friday
night will be interested to hear the

who did not hear him at that time
will want to hear him tonight.
The meeting will continue another

The one on "Petrfied Forest of the
Bible", was unique and out of the
ordinary.
Only one more week of the meet
ings. If you have not yet attended

LOCAL DEBATERS WIN
FROM VISITING TEAM

Iresenting irrefutabte Arguments
in ringing oratorical style HinsIow
high school debating team, composed
of Glenn Evans and Mary Dhlziak,
won the Unanimous decision in the
forensic contest with Williams at the
Washington auditorium Tuesday eve
ming, upholding the affirmative side
of the question, Resolved. That Pre-
sidential Candidates Should Be Nomi-
mated by Nationwide Direct Phi
mary.
The contest Tuesday nignt is the
second for the local team, which
won two to one decision from the
Snowflake Academy a few weeks ago.
Some of the arguments advanced
by the affirmative side of the
question were that the convention
system is undemocratic, unrepreselI-
tative of the wishes of the people,
and that it promotes boss rule. The
local debaters asserted that the pri-
mary would do away with much Of
the corruption prevailing unGer the
present system, and that it would
place the power in the hands Cf the
people.
In an effort to refute these argu-
ments the negative in support Of
the present system declared that the
convention is in harmony with Amer
lean ideas of government, that the
convention is a deiberative assembly
and we'll informed men do the nomi-
mating. The Williams team dwelt
upon the prohibitive cost of the direct
primary, giving some interest-statis-
ties to support their contention.
Opportunity for minority candidates
to be elected was also dwelt upon
at length, the visiting team covering
this phase of the question with con-
vincing data.
Although the Williams team
put up very good debate, the local
contenders clearly had the better of
the contest in argument, delivery
and rebuttal. The judges were John
@. Thomas, superintendent of schools,
Flagstaff; Thorwald Larson, county
attorney, and Don Udall, attorney of
Joseph City.
The next debate will be either
with Prescott or Clarkdale, depending
upon the outcome of their contest

JOSE GARCIA BADLY WOUNDED.
IN SOUTHS|DE SHOOTING SCRAPE.

Frank Garcia, sheepherder work
ing for Les Hart, is being held in
the city Jail pending the outcome
of a shooting scrape which took
place on the Southside early Sunday
morning in which Jose Garcia was
shot twice, one of the bullets enter
ing his right lung and the other
his abdomen.
Jose Garcia, who at the last report
was resting easy in St. Joseph's
hospital at Albuquerque, where he
was taken after the shooting, is said
to have declared he was attacked by
several men at house on the South
side. He is also said to have made
a statement that Frank Garcia and
others had invited him out of the
house and into the street where
Frank Garcia shot him in cold blood.
When questioned by local offic-
ers Frank Garcia asserted that Jose
invited him out Of the house, grabbed
him by the shirt and told him to

TOWN COUNCIL
PASSES MOTOR
And PEDDL|NC
REGULATIONS

Two ordinances, one regulat;no
motor vehicles within the incorporaie9
limits of Winslow and the otha,.
assessing license fees on peddlers
haWkers, transient merchants. clair
Voyants and fortune tellers. were
passed by the city council at its
regular session Tuesday afternoon in
the council chambers.
The motor vehicle ordinance. a CON-
prehenslve document, is more restric-
tive than the ordinance now in force
and will give complete regulation as
we'll as control over all infringements
which has not been possible under the
existing defective instrument. The
new ordinance provides that the bust
ness district shall be the same as
the fire district with more stringent
regulations than in the outer sections
of the city. 1t will be published in
the next issue of the Mail.
In passing the peddlers ordinance
the council also considered the ad-
visibility of an occupation tax, which
was not found feasible. The peddlers
ordinance provides that each person,
firm or corporation, distributing,
handling, hawking or peddling any
meats, fruits, or vegetables, except
at the place of or in the course of
or in connection with some fixed
business shall pay the sum of $1,000
per quarter
Any peddler, street vendor, hawker
or transient merchant soliciting or
selling any goods, merchandise or
fake articles is required to pay $100
per month. Clairvoyants, astrologers,
palmist or fortune tellers are re-
ouired to pay license fee of 5000
per quarter. The entire ordinance is
printed on another page of this issue
of the Mail.
Bids for the construction of approx
imately $500 square feet of concrete
street crossings, alley crossings, valley
cutters and sidewalks, were opened
at the session Tuesday Robert
Fenton was awarded the concrete
work. The council made provision
for 160-foot extension to the
sewer at the west end of second
street just beyond the pavement.
Provisions was also made for the
laying of 300 feet of sewer north of
Cherry street between Winslow and
Berry avenues. The council author
lied the construction of a poun at
the rear of the City Hail. board
fence to be built at this time. A
shed will probably be put up later.
The first week in April was desig
mated as cleanup week. During this
time the city will provide wagons
to haul any rubbish and trash from
the town free of charge. The council
urges the people to take advantage
of this opportunity, as wagons will
not be furnished except during clean
up week. The town board intimated
that any one refusing to cleanup
premises which may be dangerous to
public health will be forced to do
so and to pay the expense of haul
ing away the rubbish.
