AID FOR PROHIBITION STATES.
Senate Committee VIII Report Bill
to Regulate Shipments.

The Senate Committee on Judiciary
yesterday decided to report a bill at an
early day intended to afford the Ctates
better support in their attempts to en-
force local option laws.
The subject has been one Of earnest
consideration in this Congress and the
last one. The committee had finally
reached the conclusion that all the bills
offered having in view the object Of Civ
ing the States control Of LIQUOR in inter
state commerce after it passes within the
borders Of the State to which il is con-
signed will be open TO constitutional OBJ
jections.
Senator Knox. chairman OF the sub
committee which had the matter in
charge. is of the opinion that the police
power Of the States under which the sale
and disposition OF liquors is regulated
can neither be enlarged or diminished bv
Federal laws. Other members of the
committee have coincided with the view
Of Mr.. Knox. But the committee is en-
tirely willing 10 pass some law that will
prevent the setting at defiance. under
the guise OF interstate commerce, of the
local laws Of the States regulating or
preventing the sale or disposal of intoxi-
eating liquors.
This, the committee believes, can be
accomplished by stricter Federal regula-
ton of interstate shipments of liquors
into local option States. II is proposed,
therefore, to report bill to abolish ship
ments c. o. d. of liquors, and 10 require
that all charges be prepaid. Also 10 re-
quire that the name OF the consignee in
every case be definite. and, further, that
every package OF liquor in interstate COM
merce shall be plainly marked as such.

Bills to Amend Antitrust Law Cause
Lively Discussion.

There was a lively discussion in the
Senate Committee on Interstate Com

man antitrust law.

been reported from that committee.

sioners to say that the scope of their
activities Is as large as the District or
Columbia. and that these outlying points

and a large force Of bicycle policemen,
the bicycle policemen being used largely
in the city.
"But when you grant all that. it still
remains that there is not a city in the
United States that has the per capita police
force that the city Of Washington. or the
District of Columbia. has at this time.

PROPOSED ORGANIZATION.

Secretary Cowgirl of the board of trade and General Secretary Hayes of the Y M. C. A., hare been giving some attention to the idea of organizing into social club of some sort, all the graduates of all the southern Califor- nia colleges who reside in this valley. The purpose of such a move would be partly. to get better acquainted with each other and partly to secure through the college newspapers more publicity for Arizona. The gentlemen conceive that such an organization might be beneficial both to the members and to the valley, but they have not yet worked out satisfactory plan of action and would like to have sugges- tions from any person interested, in regard to the matter.
 RURAL ROUTE CUSTOMS.- The postmaster desires to call attention to the practice of some patrons of rural delivery of placing loose coins in their boxes each time they desire to dispatch letters, instead of supplying them selves with postage in advance of their needs. This practice imposes undue hardship on rural carriers in removing loose coins from boxes and delays them on the service of their routes. The postmaster, therefore, urgently re- quests that patrons of rural delivery provide themselves and keep on hand a supply of stamps consistent with and in advance of their needs. It is also very desirable that rural patrons place in their mail boxes smalr detachable cups of wood or tin in which to place coins, when necessary, in purchasing supplies of stamps.
 AN OSTRICH FARMER.- Mention was made few days ago of a fine looking boy who had made Phoenix by his wits. travelling west from Chicago since the panic, in search of q good opening for young man of ambition. He reported to the marshal who has been his god father for the last few
