PRESERVATION OF
 WHITE RACE GIVEN
 AS CAUSE OF WAR
(By Associated Press)

RICHMOND, Va, Jan. 13.-If the result of the war between the states meant the preservat ton of the white race, then there was no Host cause" declared Franklin l.. Riley of Wash ington and Lee university, who pre- sided at the afternoon session of the thirty-ninth annual session of the American Historical association, which convened here recently The meeting was devoted to a discussion of the general subject, "The Confederacy, it's Leaders and it's Problems; Resurvey." Secession was lost," MT. Riley said, "but secession was not the cause of the south.
 Slavery was lost, but slavery was not, the. cause, though. we once thought so, believing that the free dom, of the negro would mean the downfall of the white mans suprem- acy and integrity"
 That, the speaker declared, was what the south fought for the pre- sevation of the white race. If, in the ultimate consummation of that great struggle between sister states, that purpose was accomplished, then the cause of the south was not lost, but won.
 nI opening the discussion, MT. Riley said that the 'resurvey" was planned without fear or arousing animosity and feelings of sectional ism.
 Other speakers also addressed the meeting which was attended by more than 500 visiting historians, many of them prominent in this country and abroad.
 Sessions of the gathering will con- tinue through next Wednesday.

PROBABLE JAP ENVOY TO THE
 UNITED STATES

Tsuneo Matsudaira, Vive Minister of Foreign Affairs in Japan, who is being considered the most likely one tc be the new Japanese Ambassador to the United States. Due to his knowledge of international affairs, it is figured that his appointment will go far in Japan's effort to cement friendship with the United States, and cooperate with America in Asia. What caused wave of good feeling was the sending of the new American Ambassador, MT. Bancroft, to Japan, and Japan looks upon this move as real friendly act.

KUNZMAN GETS CASH AND
MEDAL FROM KING GEORGE
FOR BRAVERY IN BATTLE

Clarence Kunzman, the likeable
young man who is partner in and
manager of the Flagstaff Pharmacy,
blushed profusely the other day when
he opened letter bearing the royal
insignia of King George of England
and found it was personal to him
from the king and was accompanied
by distinguished service medal and
one hundred pounds-equivalent in
our money to $780,
The news leaked out--a very small
leak, but it reached The Sun-and we
are overriding Clarence's strenuous
objections in telling about it.
Clarence was a private in the
Canadian infantry and for carrying a
telephone line across No Mans land
in France during raging battle he
was given two citations for bravery.
The silver d. S. o. medal he received
the other day is in commemoration of
these. 1t is about the size Of silver
dollar and on one side is profile view
of King George.

ONCE A LOS ANGLICAN
ALWAYS A LOS ANGLICAN

In letter to Roger Birdseye, sec
retary of the Flagstaff Chamber of
Commerce, President P. G. Spillsbury,
president of the Arizona Industrial
congress says in part: II believe that
the California delegation representing
the chamber of commerce of Los An
geles, were greatly impressed by the
possibilities Of Arizona. |. B. Koch
made splendid statement of the pos
sibilities of northern Arizona and
think it was a surprise to most of the
men present.
Secretary Birdseye in answering
Mr. Spillsbury's idea of follow-up
program which the local chamber is
carrying on, very pertinently suggests,
however, that "on Monday at joint
meeting of the Rotary and Kiwanis
clubs in Santa Fe it was my privilege
to listen to certain gentleman from
Los Angeles making a swing over
some of the basin states in behalf of
Colorado river development. Ny i'm
preston was that as Arizona
boosters they were good old-line Los
Angeleans."

DR.. DAVIDSON GUEST
VANFLEETS WHILE HERE

The visit of Dr.. William Davidson,
superintendent of schools, Pittsburgh,
Pa, was, no doubt, enjoyed more by
Mrs. w. II. VanFleet, than by the
teachers before whom he lectured at
Teachers college.
Mrs. VanFleet was born in Penn
sylvania, as were her parents. Her fa-
ther was graduated from jefferson
Medical college, Philadelphia, in 1845.
She has her sons diploma from
Omaha high school, bearing the name
of Dr. Davidson as superintendent of
schools. She taught fourteen years in
the above schools, six years as prin-
cipal, when DR.. Davidson received her
resignation at the time Mr.. VanFleet
took her from Omaha.
DIR. Davidson and daughter dined at
the VanFleet home between his two
lectures at the college. He asked to
walk, both ways, giving more time for
reminiscence.

ANOTHER SCENIC LOOP
FOR FLAG MOTORISTS

George w. Black, accompanied by
Mrs. Black, drove up from his Sedona
ranch on Saturday, returning the
same day. He had that week made a
trip to Pine by way of the newly
opened Fossil Greek road, which has
been in process of construction for a
year or more, and upon whic hthere
is still much to be done.
The distance from Sedona is now
n miles as compared with just about
twice that formerly, as heretofore it
was necessary to come almost to
Flagstaff and then travel south to
reach Pine. This last link now makes
available another circle tour of some
where about 200 miles for Sunday or
weekend motorists. The way lies
south past Mormon Lake through pine
forests to the bottom of Strawberry
Hill, where the Fossil Creek road
comes out, up this canyon highway to
Sedona, which lies in famous Oak
Creek canyon, and home either
through Oak Geek canyon or
through Munds Park to Flagstaff.

in the state supreme court in the
Weatherford-Hall hotel case The
transcript Of the original trial in su-
perior court of this county will soon

the hotel to be community property
and that she had been opposed to the
signing of the lease. Mr.. and Mrs.
Weatherford thereupon brought suit
to break the lease and regain posses
sion of the hotel, winning their case
in superior court. Mrs. Hall vacated
the premises, removing the furnish
ings, and Mr.. and Mrs. Weatherford
refurnished and opened it up again d
week ago last Sunday.

nent soprano, assisted by Lucille Col
lette will be heard in a unique re-
cital at high school auditorium next
Thursday evening.
Miss Spencer is one of the best
known sopranos on the concert stage.

uine soprano quality. With this un-
usually beautiful voice is linked a
personality rarely met with and
these qualities combined with splen-
did rnusicianship, make Miss Spencer
decided favorite in the concert
field.
Miss Collette also is an artist of
considerable reputation and the con-
cert will undoubtedly prove one of
the outstanding features of the musi-
cal season here.

TO MIR. AND MRS. HUTSON

The Highland, a handsome pice of
property consisting of an eleven
room house and seven lots on East
Birch avenue last week was sold to
Grover Hutson. He and Mrs. Hutson
moved there this week.
Mr. and Mrs. Victor Hacha for the
past five years owned and occupied
this property but the health of the
latter requiring a lower altitude, a
change was deemed advisable. Mrs.

some time, on Sunday arrived to sign
papers. Vic, who had been in Bab-
bits offices for several years, has re-
signed and will look for location in

LEWIS INTEREST; NOW
BREEN-DINGLE DRUG co

On Tuesday the Breen-Lewis Drug
Co. became the Breen-D -Dingle Drug
Co. and the Breen-Lewis- Schmidt
Jewelry Co. the Schmidt Jewelry Co.
The changes in style accompany
the sale by Jimmie Lewis of his in
terest in both the drug and jewelTy
departments of the business to Car
ter S. Dingle. The latter and Fred S.
Breen own the drug end and with Joe
F. Schmidt own the jewelry end, the
name Of the latter being shortened
to Schmidt Jewelry Co. to make it
less cumbersome.
Mr.. Dingle, who has been here q
couple weeks helping invoice and at
tending to various other details in
connection with the transfer to him
of Mr. Lewis interest, for IL years
up to last June was a partner in
Everybodys' dug store at Mesa.
Twenty years ago he lived in Flag
staff, working for the Cover Drug
Co., then located in the corner build
ing ON Railroad avenue that K. J..
Nackard recently moved from.
Mr.. Dingle has made many friends
throughout the state. He is a highly
qualified druggist, good business
man and very likeable chap. Until
he sold at Mesa he was a member Of
Mesa Rotary. He is an enthusiastic
golfer. He is married and his wife
will soon join him here.
Mr.. Lewis, who has been in Flag
staff for seven years and in that time
has become acquainted with every
body and enjoys the friendship of
many of them, was prompted to sell
largely in. the belief that lower al
titude would be beneficial to his and
his family's health. Mrs. Lewis, for
merly Miss Mary Rozen, has lived
here most of her life. Flagstaff peo-
pie will regret the decision of Mr.. and
Mrs Lewis to move to California,
but will be glad to know that they are
retaining their home here and may
come back after year or two and
live here again. They have rented
their home to Claude Quebedeaux,
chief of the newly merged Flagstaff
Winslow-H Holbrook electric light and
power systems, who will take posses
sion on January L, when Mr.. and
Mrs. Lewis leave for the coast.
Ben L. Bear il. has become a
member of staff at the Breen-Dingle
drug store. His dad was pioneer
druggist in Phoenix, where for years
he owned the Bear Drug Co. Ben Jr.

golfer, at that, as evidenced by the
fact that he was runner-up in last
years southern California golf tour

DR.. Felix Manning was chairman
Of the day at Fridays meeting of the

teresting program. He had arranged
for songs by q male 4quartette but was
disappointed in that respect at the
last minute. Alex Johnston gave a
vocal solo. accompanied by Mrs. john
ston. Insistent applause followed but
failed to bring results. DR.. M. G..
Fronske asked the endorsement of the
club in the effort to bring the re-
gional Boy Scout meeting to Flagstaff
in February. This was gladly given.
Hiram C. B. Wilson make a splen-
did talk on Thanksgiving, bringing
out the point that if the Pilgrim fa-
theirs in their fight for existence had
reason and inclination to inaugurate
and celebrate a Thanksgiving day,
how much more in this day of pros
perity and peace should we observe
the day in the proper spirit.

EVEN IN THE MOUNTAINS
MOONSHINERS UNSAFE

Christmas grog in the making went
ker-splash on the dry hillside shortly
after Deputies Sheriff Art Vandevier
and Harry Greene motored to the old
Harry Hibben ranch, east Of Kendrick
mountain, Tuesday afternoon.
Only 500 gallons of the mash, in IS
barrels and several kegs. Good bran
mash that otherwise some day would
have yielded many glowing visions
and splitting headaches.
There was 70-gallon copper still,
also so feet of 34-inch copper coil.
1t was an ideal outfit, ideally To-
Gated. The mash, with several oil
stoves inducing quick fermentation,
was in nice rock house. So was the
still, which had just been patched up
evidently repairing the effects of an
explosion.
Some distance away, where there
was plenty of water and a big tank
like that used in mixing sheep-dip,
was where the distilling was to take
place, the liquid going from the still
into the coil which was criss-crossed
several times on two pieces of board
sunk below the water.
The officers bought the still and
coil and 500 pounds of sugar to Jail.
The owner must have left the ranch
just before they reached there, and
may have been going fast. The oil
stoves were left burning and there
were other signs of very recent oc-
cupancy
