ARIZONA BECAME
A TERRITORY 70
YEARS AGO TODAY

that John n. Goodwin, first
governor, formally proclaimed
Arizona a territory Of the Unit
ed States, at Navajo Springs.
Previous to that time the
great area which now compris-
es the fifth largest state in the
union was but a county of New
Mexico.
Governor Goodwin and his
little band of officials, most of
whom had been appointed in
Washington months previously,
reached the seate in a little
wagon train.
While Navajo Springs is many
miles inside" the Arizona
New Mexico boundary, it was
only after travelling that far
that the official party was GER
tain it had reached Arizona soil.
A flag was hoisted, the procIa-
clamation of President Lincoln
declaring Arizona a territory,
was read and Goodwin pro-
claimed the territorial govern
meDt in operation. But Naya-
10 Springs never was a capital
of the state. That honor was
reserved for Fort Whipple
(Prescott) the center of a rich
mining area.
Shortly after the ceremonies
conducted by the Goodwin
party, the train broke camp
and continued on its way to
the already thriving settlement
in Yavapai county.
The history making event at
Navajo Springs has been recor-
ded by many writers, but few
persons recall that actually it
was the second time an attempt
had been made to bring consti-
tuted government to the then
rawest of raw frontiers.
More than a year previously
President Jefferson Davis of the
Confederate states had pro.
claimed Arizona a territory of
the confederacy. Jubilant,
many Arizonians had sought to
assist the move by naming a
delegate to the Confederate
congress, and in turn President
Davis had named some terri
torial officers.
But the movement was short
lived, and altho the Civil war
continued for more than year
after Arizona became a federal
territory, and the sympathies
of the citizens were divided,
only one skirmish of the war
was fought on Arizona soil---
the Battle of Picacho Pass.
Arizona was territory of
the United States more than
twice as long as it has been a
state, for 49 years passed be-
fore statehood was granted, in
1912.
The history of the territory
actually in the pioneering rec
ord of the state, for which state
hood finally came it came to an
already rich area which even
then was rising to great heights
of development.
All the real groundwork was
laid by the men who followed
Governor Goodwin and estab-
lished government into the new
territory. But today will pass
virtually without notice, in the
modern scheme of busy life.
Not even at Navajo Springs
a little settlement along the
Santa Fe railroad, viii take
especial notice of the day, so
far as could be learned here
vest 8 day. And Phoenix, the
third capital of Arizona, pro-
badly hadn't even thought
about the day at all.---Ex

STANLEY IN AMERICA

Besides Wassermann's creditable attempt to estimate Stanley's de- gree of sophistication and respon- siveness to the more obscure stim- uli, there is a matter of fact that makes the book especially interest ing to Americans. It concerns the remarkably broad American experi- ence of Livingstone's "rescuer".
 Stanley was born, of course, John Rowland, and lived a Dickensian life in an English orphanage and with harsh relatives until des- perately he sailed as cabin boy to New Orleans, and deserted. There he met the Stanleys, man and wife, was boyishly infatuated by. the wife, and at her death was adopted by the husband. For a time there was peace for the orphan.
 Then the foster father disap- pearsd from the picture, and Stan ley began long period of wander ing up and down the United States, serving in both the Union aild Con- federate armies in the Civil War, doing odd jobs in divers places, and generally preparing himself for a career as a journalist. The ex- tent of Stanley's indebtedness to this country usually is measured by his service to Bennett--it actually is much greater.

ALL. AMERICAN. SHOWS GRIDIR0N.
 HEROES IN PLAY.
Universal Drama of Foot ball Featuring Richard
 Arlen Is at Capitol

How does one get to be All American? What makes a foot hall player an Au-American. star? How is the selection for All-Amer- ican awards made? All of these questions are answered in the great Universal gridiron drama which comes to the Capitol thea tre tonight.
 This is declared to be the great ert football picture in the history Of the screen, and brings together more than 30 of the screens out- standing stars, as well as a big cast of popular screen players, in- ciuding Richard Arlen, Andy De- vine, Gloria Stuart, James Gleason, Preston Foster, June Clyde and John Darrow. Last seasons All- America team plays as a unit, and their opposition is made up of a score of gridiron heroes, of previous years. Red Cagle, Ernie Meyers, Marchy Schwartz, Albie Booth, Frank Carideo and Jerry Dalrymple are among the stars who are seen in hard-fought con- tests on the football field.
 The story of The America" :" which is an absorbing drama quite aside from it's football interest, traces the career of Garry King, college gridiron star who is spoiled by the adultation of the multi tude and who becomes much less of a man after he leaves school. He is brought to his senses when he realizes that his younger broth CT, who has succeeded him as the star football player of the uni versity, is beginning the same sort of career.

 IS DOOMED
Drunken House of Foggia to Disappear Alter
 02 Years

FoGGIA, Italy, Feb. 7.-The drunken house of Foggia.' one of the worlds strangest buildings is to disappear in its 82d year as part of city Identification pro gram.
 Eleven intoxicated youths erect ed the house in a single night They mixed the cement for its main walls with wine.
 It was built in 1850 to spite the proud governor of the region, Don Francesca Saverio Figliolia whc was fond of gazing out over his extensive wheat fields from the windows of his mansion. One morn ing he. rose to find the tilted rose-tinted walls of the drunken house obstructing the view
 The Story The story goes. that Don Fran cisco was piqued because his neigh bor, Tommona Antonio Bacci, the keeper of a wine house. refused to sell parcel of land between the mansion and the wheat fields Bucci, too. was irked and since his cellars were filled with bar rels of rich red wine, he felt in a position to. squander the money for thes spite house.
 | Don Francesca warmed the citi- zens of Foggia against helping tc construct the building. But Gio- vanni Raho; a. nonresident, vol Iiunteered with his II sons to put l!up the house between. sunset and sunrise.
 | But when the youths started the stunt, they found the the willy Don Francesca had placed guards at all the city wells, having nc water available for plaster.
 Bacci thought of the barrels Of vine in his cellars. In the mix ing process. however. strong alec holic fumes were given off. The Fyouths became intoxicated by in- lhalation. s4. | Crazily they toiled through the night, unable to build a straight wall. But toll they did and at dawn the four master walls. three stories high, rose-tinted from the wine, reared themselves between Don Francesco's mansion and his Egrain fields.
 I Later the drunken house was fsced with white plaster, divided into rooms and adorned with an iron-railed balcony. It has been inhabited ever since its construe- tion.

 Literary Offerings
By JOHN sELBY

NEW YORK, Feb T. After a long and quite unnecessary justi- fication of his decision to write about Henry Morton Stanley at all, Jacob Wassermann goes about the business of bringing him tc life.
 He calls his biography "Buls Matari," which means Cat least in Africa) "the rock breaker It is a good name, for it perfectly express es Stanley's fabulous capacity fol self-immolation, for labor, and for steadfastnesss But naming his book was the least of Herr Wassermann's troubles. e
 The troubles chiefly had to do with the Victorian attitude. Stanley lived when reticence was a cult and polite concealment an art. He was a journalist as the term was understood then, and he worked fc a, man who would have quali- fled as a journalist in, any period James Gordon Bennett. s
 But Stanley never dared write whole facts, even for Bennett. In his three major African experiences he must have learned much about the psychology life, habits and even the darker features of Afri- can life generally. These he sub- ordinated to conform to the Grun- dy standard of the time, or omit ted And in so doing he left his own image incomplete, and forced Herr Wassermann into realms of deduction and reconstruction.

Solid Market Rally Basis
Lacking, Says Expert

BY WALL STREET SPECTATOR
NEW YORK, March % Q.N.S0.
The stock market yesterday did
its best to go back to where it
was before trading was resumed
last Wednesday. There was some
buying before the close for a
rally, but the fundamentals
aren't there for any extended
recovery at this time. We
wouldn't be surprised If stocks
had to go through another period
of stabilization. This occurred
last summer before the bulge got
under way, and was. marked by
complete confirmation of cessa-
ton of liquidation. So far this
factor hasn't appeared, for there
certainly is a lot of stock for
sale.
Dividend worries are bringing
a new crop of gray hair to
spectators. Banks started it by
slashing their rates, and the
utilities are falling in line, too.
There is quite a bit of talk that
Consolidated Gas will trim it's
rate to $3.50 or SO at the April
meeting. The stock has appar-
emily been discounting this. Later

Bic COMMODITY
PRICE GAINS

For the second successive week,
commodity markets have closed
with advances outweighing the de-
clines, and the upward trend con-
tinuing to gain headway in the
current Dun and Bradstreet tabu-
lation of wholesale commodity
prices, the Sc advances were nearly
eight times in excess of the Z de-
clineS.
At no time in the last three
years have advances reached this
peak, the nearest approach being
So, which was recorded for the
weeks Of September 8 and 10, 1882,
when the midsummer rally was
strongest. It is necessary to go
back to 1929 to find period when
declines were as few as they were
last week.
With most of the commodity
markets closed until Wednesday
and some until Thursday, definite
levels were not established, as
there was accumulating evidence
during the latter part Of the week
that many Of the advances would

The break in the rails late
yesterday wasn't surprising to
those who had followed their
bonds. Conservatives have been
keeping hands off the rails dur
ing their churning since Satur-
day following failure of carrier
bonds to get anywhere. There is
a growing feeling that the rise in
the sugar shares has run ahead
of nearby prospects of improve
ment.
The spectacular rise in the
dollar has clamped the lid down
on recent initiation talk.
Veteran Wall Streeters won't be
surprised if we go back to the
days Of an investment stock
market where the big fellow did
all the playing and those with
only a few hundred dollars
either kept their money in the
bank or spent it. This would
bring quite a deflation in broker
