Eli PASO HERALD 9 ARCHITECTS ARE ARIZONA SENAT PPOSESJUNKET EFELLER ADDRESS President of the Association Makes Protest Against Letting Contract. (Continued From Page One). most of the morning- session of the court. A number of architects of the city were present, as well as John M. Wyatt, a member of the advisory committee appointed some time ago by the court.

Commissioner M. Walling stated that he was willing to admit that the court had made a mistake when competitive plans had been asked for. we first took up the matter of getting plans for the court house we stood three to one In favor of competitive plans. But after our advisory committee had gone into the matter thoroughly and Mr. Wyatt had receivad numerous letters from architects advising against the competitive method we found that it was a business proposition not to invite competitive plans, and when the committee recommended Trost Trost we endorsed their report.

But I blame the architects. If I were an El Paso architect I would probably No Architect ou Board. Mr. Kneezell thought that the court had made a mistake in not placing on the advisory committee some architect or other person familiar with structural work. Mr.

Kneezell replied that it would be unethical for an architect to have interfered in any way. Trost Trost are incompetent, I cannot see how the court has made a mistake," said commissioner Seth Orndorff. Trost Trost have built most of the large buildings in El Paso 1 am convinced that they are Reflection on Architects. saying that Trost Trost built most of the large buildings, you are casting a reflection on every other architect in the declared Mr. Kneezell.

Commissioner Orndorff replied that he meant to cast no reflection on the architects of 151 but thought that as long as Trost Trost are competent, the court was within its rights in selecting them, and that he, for one, would be willing to take the responsibility for his action in favoring them. John M. Wyatt discussed at some length the reasons for the action in favoring the noncompetitive plan, quoting a number of out of town architects, and representing that the county will save money by getting quicker action and eliminating prizes. OfrictAJs Make The several officials mentioned, with the exception of Will I. Watson, who had not been reached at 2:30 p.

NOTICE Ei Paso County and City Democratic Club Pboenix, April there is any junketing at this extra session of the legislature, the house alone will be responsible. The senate promptly set its foot down when the house concurrent resolution calling for a joint committee to visit each state institution reached that body. Now there is talk in the house of sending house committees and leaving the senators to cool their heels till the representatives have done all the investigating they please. Only senator Hugh Campbell, of Coconino county, raised his voice in favor of the resolution, which was originally introduced in the house by Powers, Campbell explained that at least part of the members of the legislature would be sure to visit the asylum for the insane, Tempe normal and State university, and therefore become familiar with their needs, but the Flagstaff normal and industrial schools are not so readily accessible. Therefore the Coconino senator thought that Flagstaff and Fort Grant might be discriminated against when the time came for distributing the funds.

The vote in the senate probably will have little effect on the house if a proposition to do some independent investigating is brought up there. Only nine representatives voted against the Powers resolution when it was first introduced. Hill Is Being; Prepared. Tn the meantime the house committee on appropriations is proceeding to draw an appropriation bill. Monday afternoon fthe corporation commissioners were before the committee, explaining the needs of their department.

On the floor of the house representative Christy moved that house bill No. 168, the general appropriations bill which caused such a squabble in the last days of the regular session, be taken up. Ho was able to muster only three votes for that proposition. The senate seems to be making about as much headway in preparing an appropriations bill as is the house, where the constitution requires that it originate. Already senator Stapley, chairman of the senate appropriation committee, has had typewritten a great deal of data regarding state departments and institutions.

It has been pretty well agreed that the senate shall thresh over the information that Stapley has gathered so that each member will be thoroughly posted when the bill comes over from the house. 1 niversity Money T'ied Up. Much complaint is heard among members of both houses that they cannot pass an intelligent appropriation bill till a land code has been adopted. State treasurer Mit Simms is now holding $74,000 which has been received from the sale of timber on university lands, and $38,000 realized from school land rentals. There is no law tinder which he can turn these funds over to the university and educational department.

The necessary provisions probably will be included in the general land code, if such a code is ever adopted. Governor Hunt refused to include land legislation in his call for this extra session. He has refused to state whether he will issue another call for a second extra session at the close of this one. So the legislators do not know whether that $112,000 must remain in the treasury or is to become available for the schools and univer- sitv this year. Tf it could be made available before the general appropriations bill was passed, the total appropriations could be reduced exactly $112,000.

Asks of Acres. Senator Goldwater introduced in the senate a concurrent memorial asking the governor to direct the land commission to sell as soon as possible the 1.000,000 acres of land granted by the national government to enable Maricopa, Yavapai, Coconino and Pima counties to pay off certain railroad bonds outstanding against them. But no one knows whether Arizona is to have any land commission more than a few weeks longer. The present commissioners are serving without pay, their appropriation having become exhausted. Chances for the continuation of the present commission, except under an entirely new code, are very slim.

memorial passed the senate without a dissenting vote. Governor Hunt has affixed his signature to house bill No. 1, appropriating $25,000 for the expenses of the present session. J. M.

PAUL INJURED IN JITNE ACCIDENT A jitne auto, said to have been driven by Al Bradshaw, collided with a motorcycle ridden by J. M. Paul at the intersection of Mesa avenue and Montana street, shortly after 1 oclock Tuesday afternoon, and Paul was taken to the Rolston hospital in a serious condition. The nickel car carried number 2885 and is given at the office as belonging to the Jitne Auto Service company. According to J.

H. Stine, supervisor of playgrounds, who witnessed the accident, the jitne driver was clearly at fault, although manager Phillips, manager of the Jitne company, said Tuesday afternoon that the driver was forced onto the wrong side of the street by the motorcycle which, he said, was speeding on Montana street. According to Mr. Stine, the motorcycle was on the right side of the street and was struck by the jitne car when it cut across Montana street in an effort to turn into Mesa avemie. i Paul was thrown several feet in thi air, was turned completely over by the 1 impact of the collision and struck tho curb on the back of his head.

He was taken to the hospital in an automobile and his condition was reported to be I serious Tuesday afternoon. Paul lives at 814 Ochoa street. Las Cruces, N. April Elephant Butte Water association has instructed its attorneys, Holt and Sutherland, to file suits against those delinquent in the payment of assessments levied, unless theso assessments are paid before May 20, 1915. A call was made some months ago for the payment of delinquent assessments and about 20 percent was collected.

There yet remains several thousand dollars to be collected. Those delinquent are mostly the large land owners who could. It is claimed, afford to pay, or else those who have received direct, benefits. The association needs the funds in order to carry on the work as outlined. 35 Cars of llay.

Commissioneer Leads to Strong Counter Attack. CANARY IN HAT NEW NEW FAD New York, April live bird on her a warbling canary, at that Miss Bess Ryan, of this city, to take a taxicab ride Instead of a saunter in Fifth avenue, when she started out to display the latest fad. Chicago, 111., April P. Walsh, chairman of the federal commission on industrial relations, returning today to Chicago from Kansas City, issued the following statement in reply to the answer of John D. Rockefeller, to Mr.

recent comments accompanying the correspondence in the Colorado Fuel and Iron case: -1 note that Mr. Rockefeller, denounces me as a liar. The published letters which arouse Mr. ire are all admitted by him to have been written and correctly quoted, so that his voluminous newspaper assertion is in no sense a denial of anything given to the press by me. Officials Are Contradictory.

anger grows out of a misconception as to my duties. I was not appointed to or smother the causes industrial unrest, but to investigate them and make them manifest to the world. is interesting and amusing to note that Jesse F. Welborn, president of the Rockefeller companies in Colorado, gives a labored interview attempting to show that no such letters were ever written, while L. M.

Bowers, chairman of the executive committee of the Rockefeller interests in Colorado, now at Binghamton, furnishes his somewhat lame contribution to the Rockefeller defence by confessing the authenticity of the correspondence, but declaring that it did not amount to anything and besides, it had been uncovered by the congressional Nature of Correspondence. The published correspondence between Mr. Rockefeller and officials of the Colorado Fuel and Iron company merely indicated that Rockefeller had been freely consulted as to the moves of the company in fighting the coal strike.
