Rev. Freeland Is
Called to Phoenix

Rev. Edward L. Freeland announced
Sunday at the morning service at
Epiphany church that his connection
with the church will terminate at the
end of this year. He is returning to
Phoenix where he has accepted posi-
tion on the staff of Trinity cathedral.
Rev. Freeland stated that his with
drawal was entirely due to the neces-
sity of change Of climate and that
he is greatly disappointed at leaving
Flagstaff where the outlook for valu-
able and congenial work is SO prom
ising.
Church Of Epiphany is sustaining a
great loss in the leaving of Rev. Free
land and his sister, Miss Louise G.
Freeland, who is his valued assistant
in church work in general, and has a
place all her own in the women's and
girls work.
The breach made by their transfer
to Phoenix will be hard one to fill.
Their sincerity and whole-hearted de-
votion to the church and their energy
in carrying on church activities have
made for remarkable progress.
The loss will be felt not only IN
church circles for their likeable per-
sonalities made friends in all groups
with which they came in contact.
Rev. Freeland, during his two year
incumbency carried to success prof.
ects which for years were but dreams
of the parish. Chief of these was the
building of the parish house which
will be dedicated next Sunday. The
large memorial window Of the church
was placed, also two smaller ones in
the chancel, so that now the church
plant is complete. He organized the
order of Sir Galahad for boys which
has thrived. Plans are under way,
due to his direction and vision, to
make the Flagstaff mission an inde-
pendent parish. No successor has
been selected.

Kaibab Is a Great
Asset to Arizona

They say there is scenery to be seen
north of the Grand Canyon as well as
on the hither side, and none Of the
Prescott hunting parties making the
trip this year came back with more
enthusiasm for that "strip" of scenic
wonder Arizona than Charlie Miller
and j. Ogden Hoffman, who got back
Sunday evening.
Doing the Kaibab is now one OF the
major outdoor enterprises for Prescott
people and the job usually consists OF
driving into and through four states
and takes from 1000 to 1900 miles.
The procedure in this case was to
cross into California at Needles,
thence north into Nevada, through a
corner Of Utah back into Arizona's
Italia Irredentao. There, amid the
sighing pines Of the greatest forest
on earth, with the magnificent vistas
of a Grand Canyon and the delicate
and fantastic ones of Zion and Bryce
the wayfarers come upon deer, in
numbers, and of size not seen any
where In the more civilized parts of
the state. While they were in the
Kaibab, Miller and Hoffman saw the
work the Union Pacific is doing to
bring about the tourist facilities for
the North Rim that will come up to
the high standard of exploitation on
the south A million and a half in a
highway 150 miles long from st.
Mary's to the brink of the Grand Cam
yon, and hotels and lodges on a big
scale, will one day make that part of
Arizona as important tourist center

Santa Fe now.

charges in the Hearst newspapers
that a fund Of $l,200,OO0 was raised

challenged tonight by Manuel G.

The ambassadors statement was
made after he had been advised un-

Mexican consul general at New York,
and half brother of President Gales,
between whom most Of the purport-

senators appeared to have passed.
In my opinion, Elias will not
come to Washington at the summons
of the senate committee" Ambassa-

The ambassador said that while
there was no treaty of commerce

provision giving consular officers
immunity from court processes, il
was an established practice under in
ternational law that such officers
were immune from subpoenas.

swept the court room since he testi-

The indictment was 1000 words
