SOCIETY AND THE DRINK
EVU

The following article is from the
Madison Drmocrat, which in the habit
of frequently saying a good strong
word for temperance:
IA. L. Bixby, philosopher and poet
of the Lincoln, Neb,, Journal, has
been indulging III the luxury of a tour
of England, not failing to take notes
by the wayside. His latest observa-
tiOn is that "booze is the bane of Lon
DON" He describes a ride up to the
great city in the same compartment
with the mother of four children who
punished bottle of stout on the way

up, sent porter for a supply of ale
at way station and invited him, a
perfect stranger, to join her. All this
adds an air of verisimilitude to his
epigram.
"But it is not in London alone that
the drink habit has shown its baneful
effects. In Glasgow groggeries are
the chief resorts of the people, men
and women, and throughout the en-
pire the same condition is prevailing
more and more. A royal commission
made report after the beer war in
which it bewailed that drinking moth
ers had so reduced the vitality and
physique of the average Briton that
the young men could not come up to
the requirements for enlistment in the
volunteer army. That commission
made doleful complaint regarding
the condition of the clerks and labor
ers who must be relied upon for mill
tary purposes in case of great war.
"But while the anxiety of the rulers
of Britain may be concerned chiefly
for the future of their army it should
not be forg otted that it is not alone in
the realm of King Edward that the
bane of booze holds sway and that its
influence upon the Industrial strength
of the nations generally, and particu-
larly in the United States is coming
to be-if it has not already come-a
menace not only to good government
but to industry. And while it is true
that reformers look upon the antisa-
loon movement which is now sweeping
through the south with such purifying
effect as an indication of a more
wholesome life, yet the hope of re-
demption from the rule of rum is not
such as to call for particular glorif-
cation.
"Neither in Great Britain nor in the
United States has it fully dawned up
on the people that the only means by
which the liquor evil can be success
fully combatted is through thessocial
life. 1t is true that in the United
States there is not that tolerance of
the drink habit as prevails in older
countries, yet there is all too little of
the spirit of opposition to the evil
among those who from their superior
advantage should direct the better
thought. Social ostracism is the effec-
tive weapon but it's use cannot be
hoped for when the evils of drink have
a large part in the homes and lives of
those who are looked upon as social
leaders. Public opinion may be made
a powerfully effective weapon with
which to combat the drink evil but
must be formulated in the forces that
move in the higher walks of life.
When society refuses to tolerate the
use of liquor then can we hope for
substantial and effective reform"

A Comb In the Claw.

, Many birds possess a useful comb in
the claw of the middle toe of the foot.
This has been noticed in owls, night
nets, etc. 1t has been explained as a
means of holding the prey securely.
The comb is sometimes replaced by a
curved blade with teeth. which run
along the inner side of the claw. Such
blade is found il razorbills, wild
ducks, gulls, starlings and many other
birds Where a comb is required the
inner edge of this blade becomes di>
vided into teeth. Young nightjars or
goatsuckers have only the blade, but
old ones have a well developed comb.

LOS ANGELES CROOK
 WAITING Al YUMA
Coast Detectives Left Phoenix Last Night With Warrant of Extradi ton.

Captain Paul Hammer of the detec-
 police, arrived in the city yesterday morning accompanied by James He-
 sick of the detective force. Captain
 Hammer was armed with a acquisition for the extradition of one George White
 who Is now in jail at Yuma, where
 he was arrested on a telegram from
 the Los Angeles police. The papers
 were honored yesterday by Governor
 Kibbey and the detectives left for
 Yuma last night.
 White is one of two men who held
 up and robbed d saloon in Los Angeles
 about a week ago. The robbery was
 committed in the boldest manner. The Hsaloon selected for their operations
 was known as the Hot Rivet. located
 in the manufacturing district. The robbers did not even go to the trouble of masking themselves and
 their victims were therefore able to
 furnish the police with n fairly ac- curate description of them. No trace
 of either of the men could be secured immediately and one of them dropped out of sight entirely but the other n few days ago was located at Yuma and application was made by the police department to Governor Gillett for d requisition. Captain Hammer said that White, though that is probably not his name. i~ a most accomplished crook and that
 he has been a prominent participant in
 the carnival of crime which has been fin progress at Los Angeles for some months.
 ! It was afterward learned that the Yuma authorities had captured the
 partner of White but he subsequently escaped.
 With Captain Hammer and Mir Ho- sick there IS something doing every { minute" when they arc at home. The Los Angeles ExamirH, which came to Phoenix yesterday. had the following about a tragedy with which Mir. Ho- sick was connected in an official way: Police Detective James Hosick. who shot and fatally wounded Rico Delga- do. a Mexican laborer from Alamitos, in pistol duel at San Pedro and Con-

NOT MORE THAN YOU KNOW

It is a rule. to which good lawyers usually adhere says Philadelphia attorney. never to tell more than one knows. There was an instance in Eng land not many years ago wherein q lawyer carried the rule to the extreme. One of the agents in a midland revis- ion court objected to a person whose name was on the register on the ground that he was dead. The revis- ion attorney declined to accept the as- surance. however. and demanded con elusive testimony on the point. The agent on the other side arose and gave corroborative evidence as to the de- cease of the man in question. But, sir. how do you know the mans deadg demanded the barrister.

WHY HODGES LEFT
 HE GLOBE JAIL
He Was Supremely Dissusted With the Twenty Sentence Just Inn posed Upon Him.

The Arizona Silver Belt gives the following story Of the escape of Ed Hodges from the jail at Globe last Monday night:
 Disguised because of the twenty year sentence imposed upon him by Judge Nave for burglary, Ed Hodges decided that he would not go to Yuma at the time planned for the trip by Sheriff Thompson. and Monday night. a few hours after sentence had been pronounced. he folded his baggage. which consisted of d "hypo gun" and a pair of socks. and silently glided through the bars of the bastile.
 Just in what manner Hodges made his escape is not known, but it is the belief of the officers that he eluded Jailer Henderson in the semi darkness if the county jail corridor while the latter was locking up the cage" pris oners after supper. and slipped into the room that separates the county and city jails. When the jailer went into the city compartment to secure the prisoners for the night. Hodges must have crept into the open door behind him.
 Yesterday morning at breakfast time Hodges did not emerge from the cage. as usual, when it was opened. and his absence was only then discovered. 1t remained mystery until an eXamina . ton of the city jail showed that two bars had been sawed through in one of the side windows. through which Hodges escaped.

 The management of the Alaska Yukon Pacific exposition is receiving many letters daily from congressman and public men promising support to the worlds fair. The fact that the eX- position has pledged itself not to ask for gift or loan from Congress has brought out in the press of the coun- try much favorable comment. All the exposition management desires is for t'ncle Sam to come tn the exposition with his exhibits and erect buildings in which to install them. A bill appro- priatiDg S1.115.000 for this will be in- troduced at the forthcoming session of Congress. The interest Bryan takes in the exposition is shown in the follow ing letter to Reed:

MATINEE RACES OF
 THt DRIVING CUB
There Was a Good Attendance and a Fine Afternoon of Sport.

The matinee given by. the Gentle mems Driving club at the fair grounds yesterday afternoon was flattering success. IL was enjoyed by some three or four hundred people. which may be considered a very fine turnout under the circumstances. Occurring at near lv tho same hour as the ball game be- tween the two best teams that ever played a series in the southwest il was expected the larger crowd would go to the ball park, narticularly as the series is one in which almost the whole town is interested. IL was also the dinner hour for many. the hour of the biggest dinner of the year. so those who were in attendance were not mere time killers but people who really love fine horses.
 The entertainment was q good one, the races in the main being closely contested. The special buggy race class failed to fill and it is presumed that either tho drivers pr the horses got cold feet. IL was rather uncXpect- ed. too. for it was warm. bright sun shiny afternoon. But the sport was all right. even without the buggy race and nobody regrets the time spent. Ed Hall served as starting judge and the race judges. who also served as timers. were X. L. Moore W. w. Cook and Dr. Ramsey. The races were all half mile heats. most of the horses being young stock and hardly old enough to be put to the strain of mile heats where they were likely to be frequently repeated.
 The first race was the 2:l4 trOt in which there were two entries. the Davidson mare Dell Net and Frank Anderson's Burnut. a California horse brought here for the fair meeting and sold in the stock pavilion. Burnut took the first and third heats and Dell Net the second heat, making q nice contest all the way through. The time was 1:I5ls, 1:l41z and l:l3lz.
 The next race was styled the 2:40 trot and it was given slow name for it was finished in two heats and both of them were well under the class time. The heats were both finished in the

of the man. It is believed that his craving for dope will result in his speedy capture. Even without his drug consuming propensities. he is well marked man. as he has both arms profusely tattooed.
 Hodges has already served three terps in as many state prisons. and his criminal record was the cause of his heavy sentence by Judge Nave. In 1894 he was sent up from Alameda county. California. for second degree burglary, for which he served three years at Folsom prison. In 1902 he was sentenced in Kern county. Califor mia. to serve two years for forgery at san Quentin and in 1904 Judge Sloan at Prescott gave him thirty months in Yuma. Hodges mother is said to re- side in oakland. Cal.
