event he may sell it to another per-

as 10 membership certificates, if de-

exempt from charges of the annual

After 90 days from the completion
of the organization Of the club and of

to be the par value of membership

Dues vii be $50 yearly, payable
one half on the first day of June and
one half the first day of September of

run the club the first year without
asking for both payments of dues, but

that one $40 payment of dues will be

ROTARIANS TOLD ABOUT
OUR MEXICAN PUPILS AND
TREATED TO FINE MUSIC

Henry Albers, as chairman for the
day, presented a stellar program at
Tuesdays Rotary meeting, and it was
much appreciated.
The music was especially spiffy,
emanating from a quartette that was
a quartette-Miss Selma Aas, Mrs.
Tom Bellwood and Rotarians Tom
BelIwood and Bill Cady. Miss Elsa
Myers accompanied on the piano. The
quartette sang three times, ''Love's
Old Sweet Song," ''I'll Take You Home

sent at all, we'll tell the world, and
we don't mean maybe, either.
Miss Agnes Lynch, one of the teach
ers at Brannen school, gave talk on
the potential ability of Mexican chill

At the meeting of the Flagstaff
State Teachers college board here last
Saturday the contract for drawing up
plans for the new gymnasium was let
to Lescher & Mahoney, architects of
Phoenix. This is the first step in OBJ
tanning the gymnasium for which the
legislature recently appropriated
$51, IT'S.
Pres. F. A. Cotton of the school an
nounced that on April 18 the board
will open bids and award the contract
for the construction of the gym. Work
on the building will begin June first,
and it is expected that it will be COM
pleted in time for use next fall for
football.
The building will be south of the
administration building and to the east
of the presidents cottage. This will
put it within easy access to the Me-
Mullen athletic field. 1t will contain
an indoor swimming pool, showers,
ample room for a regulation college
basketball court, and fine gym appara-
tuS.
The building of the gymnasium will
mean much to Flagstaff and the sur
rounding territory, because it will be
the only one of its kind in this sec
tion Of the state. 1t has been needed
for long time by the school and its
erection will be a great step forward
in the development of the school.
All members of the board were
present at Saturdays meeting-C. O.

of schools; Secretary James Kennedy
of Williams and Sam Proctor of

M'DANIELS NOW BEING
HELD in PITTSBURGH

Jesse F. McDan1els, bigamist, is in
again, this time in Pittsburgh, Pa,
according to advices received here by
County Attorney Frank Harrison.
McDaniels' escapades have been
told in The Sun so recently that they
are well known to its readers.
1t is believed McDaniels is being
held through the influence of
Louisiana district attorney pending
the latter's decision whether to take
him back there to stand trial for
bigamy. He was released there un-
der the belief that he had escaped
from a Pennsylvania penitentiary,
but when taken back to the peniten-
tiary it was found that he wasn't
the man.
County Attorney Harrison hasn't
decided yet whether to seek MeDan
iels' extradition for trial here for
bigamY. This was where he was last
married But he cannot definitely de-
eide on that course until he can es-
tablish beyond all doubt that McDan-
iels had a living, legal wife when he
married here. 1t is easily established
that the next to the last woman Nc
Daniels married in Louisiana had not
been divorced from him when he mar
ried here But her complaint will be
of no use if there were one or more
undivorced wives preceding her, be-
cause in that case she is not legal
wife. In other words, the original
wife, or the last legal, undivorced
wife must be identified and brought
into the case in order to get convic-
ton.
There is a bare chance that McDan
iels may be brought back on another
charge, that of manslaughter, in con-
nection with the death of Mr.. and
Mrs. Joe Pyland's little daughter when
car driven by McDaniels turned
over near Maine last fall.

MRS. FRONSKE HOSTESS

Home Economics section of the
Woman's club held an interesting and
well attended meeting Tuesday after
noon at the home of Mrs. NJ G..
Fronske. Mrs. Fronske gave dem
onstration of the new electric oven
heat control cookery, cooking an en-
tire meal in the temperature -regu-
lated oven of her electric range.
George T. Harrington, manager Of the
city light plant, contributed to the
program by discussing and demon
strating the structure and care of
some of the most commonly used
electrical household appliances. He
had also prepared for distribution a
chart giving the operating costs of
these appliances. (. Mrs. Fronske, as
sisted by Mrs. Burnell Osler, served
delicious refreshments.

says, in part:

Sufficient enthusiasm appears to
have been shown by some of the Flag
staff men to warrant the golf COM
mittee in now signing up members of
the club
The work that has been done and
the plans made by the various com
mittees are, briefly, as follows:
The committee appointed to find
suitable grounds has approved the To-
cation north and east of the old town
reservoir, and have gone over these
grounds thoroughly, staked off the
tees and greens and have received an
estimate covering the approximate
cost Of building a suitable golf course,
which will be about $500, to put the
grounds in shape for play.
To make the golf club possible it
will be necessary to secure at least so
active members, who will take out ac-
tive membership certificates, which
will entitle the members and any
ladies in their immediate families to
the privileges of the club.
These membership certificates will
cost charter members $35 and will be
transferable in the event member

FLAGSTAFF GOT THIRD
CORNER OF TRIANGULAR
CLAY TARGET SHOOT

Flagstaff Gun club members have
two aIibis to offer in explanation of
their defeat on Sunday at Prescott in
the shoot-off of the tie in the state
scatter gun tournament.
The first is that none Of the mem
bers of the Flagstaff Gun club shot
as we'll as they ought.
The second is that the members of
the two other clubs, Phoenix and
Williams, shot better than we did.
Two alibis, both perfectly good and
true ones, ought to be sufficient ex-
cuse.
Now that we have lost, we hug to
ourselves the consohng thought that,
anyway, it is better for the sport and
leaves a better, kindlier feeling to-
ward Flagstaff and will rebound to
our benefit in a larger attendance at
the state registered tournament which
is to be held here this summer, prob
ably in June.
Sundays shoot at Prescott was no.
table for several things: The splendid
hospitality of the Prescott Gun club,
through which all were made welcome,
shown every courtesy and attention
even given a glorious banquet Sunday
night; the good feeling that prevailed
between the various clubs; the many
marksmen and alleged marksmen
proving their skill or lack of it, the
hundreds of spectators attracted by
the sporting side ofsthe event and in
trigued by good goads and delightful
weather.
Sundays event was made necessary
by the fact that both the Phoenix and
the Williams clubs were in position to
tie Flagstaff for top place in the
seven-weeks, eight-team state tele-
graphic tourney, the schedule of which
was finished Sunday before last.
Each of the three clubs had been
beaten once. In addition, Williams
had tied once, with Jerome, and one OF

CHARLES RICE, PIONEER
ARIzONAN, DIED MONDAY

The sudden death of Charles Rice
on Monday morning came as sur
prise and shock to his many friends.
Always apparently in the best of
health, he recently began to complain
of stomach trouble and talked of go
ing to Phoenix for treatment. On
Friday last, Mrs. M. 7. Piper, who
owns the building in which Mr.. Rice
had his barber shop, noticed that the
shades still were down, though it was
late in the morning. She asked an Of
ficer to open the door and investigate.
They found Mr.. Rice very i'll in the
rear of the building, where he slept.
He was taken to Mercy hospital that
night, but refused to submit to an
operation for appendicitis, which was
indicated as his trouble. Next morn
ing he again refused, but his condi-
ton becoming much worse during the
day he finally consented and the
operation was performed. 1t was
found that appendix had bursted and
had caused peritonitis. The operation
was a good one and for short time
the patient seemed to be doing fairly
we'll; but the poison had spread too
generally and resulted in death,
Charles Rice was the second son of
parents of Irish descent. He was born
in Madrid, N. Y, August 20, 1867. Re
ceiving a common school education
there, he came to Arizona when IT
years old, joining his brother, Will
Rice, at Phoenix.
Charlie punched cows for a while,
then farmed, later learning the bar
ber's trade, which he followed up to
the time of death. He first came to
Flagstaff in 1910. In 1912 he mar
ried Mrs. Mary Tyson of Flagstaff,
from whom he later was separated.
Mr.. Rice was brought up a Catholic.
At one time he was a member OF
the Moose and Eagle lodges.
Two brothers, Will Rice of Phoe-
nix and Henry Rice of Los Angeles,
and the formers son, Floyd, came
here and on Tuesday accompanied the
remains to Phoenix, where they were
laid at rest beside the grave of the
mother of the deceased, who died
about a month ago.
Besides the two brothers mentioned,
there are three others, Max and Bar
ney Rice of Los Angeles and Edward
Rice of Worcester, Mass.
So far as known, Mr.. Rice left no
will. His estate is roughly mentioned
at between five and six thousand dol.
lars and will be in the charge of
George T. Atterbury as administrator.
This death adds another to the long
list of pioneers who have passed to
the Great Beyond during the last few
months. Mr. Rice had many friends,
who will miss him. He was a man OF
few words, but warm sympathies, and
had a reputation for honest business
and personal dealings.

REVIEWING THIS YEARS FOOTBALL

Camp it was thought that the
vogue Of picking All-Americar
teams might pass but there were
a greater number published than
ever before.
Edward K. Hall, chairman OF
the football rules committee, con-
demned the practice because of
the stress that it makes on indi-
vidual players.
The boys who are named on
'any Of the important teams, how
ever, will not bother about official
criticism. as long as they win the
.honor-if any.
Increasing interest developed
during the season in the iprofes-
sional game even before Red
Gange left, his at" at Illinois and
joined the Chicago Bears.
The games in New York were
well patronized but with one sea-
son as a foundation it is impos-
sihe to say whether the crowds
came out Of curiosity or were
really interested in the game.

NEW YORK, Dec. 26.-Dart-
mouth and Michigan, Red Grange
and Oberlander made the 1925
football season the most popular
land the most interesting in the
history Of the game.
Attendance records were shat
tered wherever there was a sta
dium large enough to provide a
record and Columbus entertained
the largest number of paid spec
tators when $4,000 sat in on the
Ohio State-Illinois game in which
the great Grange finished his col
1ege career.
The rise and. fall of Grange
was not only the big news event
of the season but one Of the most
dramatic of all stories.
Facing the chance to make, a
'half-million dollars by professional
activities, Grange broke down af-
ter joining the Chicago Bears a
professionalnteanas,s
He tried to do something that
experienced trainers say never
cans be done. He tried to play
four and five games a week and
okeNdown~so badly that he had
to call q halt.
WhenAheSeurned professional he
was showered with more than
$50sOO0 for, various games and
stunts and, he was in way to
make D. millionaire Of himself as
long as he could keep his hold on
The public.
He had been playing only for
a little overs week fwhen the
cheers turned into jeers. There
was no collegesaloyalty in the
stands. When he couldn't deliver
what the customers had put out
their money to see, they gave him
the Bronx cheer.
The 1925 season was one of
great teams. Seldom are found
in one season a pair of teams to
compare to Michigan and Dart
mouth and such a large number
of good teams as Washington,
Tulane, Missouri, Northwestern
and many others.
Critics who saw both teams in
action were unwilling to venture
an opinion upon what would hap
pen if the Dartmouth and Michi-
gan teams had played.
The nearest Fielding Yost,
Michigan coach, came to an opin-
ion was when he said:
"There is no play in football
against which Michigan cannot
find a. defense"
This statement was significant
in that no teams that tried it,
could find defense for the great
forward passing combination Of
fOberlander to Tully with which
Dartmouth swept the gridiron.
Dartmouth wasn't, defeated or
tied, but Michigan lost one game
to Northwestern by score of 3
to 2.
This defeat meant very little,
however, as the field was, ankle

Northwestern. failed to make
first down and gained only II
yards in the entire game.
The prominence played by the
forward pass in winning a large
number of important games start
ed the conservatives complaining
again and asking for a change in
the rules.
One suggestion with merit was
a proposal make ball free when
it leaves the passer's hand and al
low It to be recovered by either
side if it happens to be knocked
down.
Glenn Warner, Knute Rockne,
Tad Jones, Fielding Yost and other
leading coaches defend the open
1ame and give it the credit for
the surprising development of in
terest in the game.
