SEGREGATION BILL
PASSES In ARIZONA
Disfranchisement Measure Enacted
Over Governor kibbeys Veto Has
to Be Taken Up Again.

Phoenix, Ariz., March S.-The report
OF the joint conference committee on
segregation was adopted in both
houses Friday, but not by two-thirds
majority. In the house segregation
received Is yeas TO nine nays, but in
the council, one vote decided it, the
count being seven to five. This indi.
Gated that the amended bill will MSS
both houses.
The attitude Of the governor on this
question is MOI known, each side
claiming that they have reason to be-
lieve that he is with them. Should
the governor find the measure unmer-
ltorious and veto it, the hardest task
OF the session 10 muster the necessary
two-thirds will confront the segrega-
tionists. The only course would be
for the Democrats to make tia party
measure, which might fail, as it has
SO far.
Public Examiner.
Realizing the monumental mistake
of abolishing the office of public ex-
aminer, Bourne, of Pinal, has intro.
duced a measure to re-create that Of
flee, which is the same as the old
law. The bill will receive the solid
Republican support and probably
enough Democrats to pass it in the
house Possibly the action of the gov
ernor on the segregation bill may have
some bearing on the result, ,--.@
A Law Almost. -syj
BY a peculiar oversight, the Hamp-
ton educational qualification bill,
though passed over the governors We
to, did not become law. The presid.
ing officers of both houses failed to
certify in signing the bill how it be-
came a law; that is, stating that it
passed over the governors veto. The
measure went to the office of Secre-
tary Page and it is understood that
ne refused to return it. So the Demo-
Gratis We're put to the extremity of in
Producing the same bill under a new
number in the council. 1t passed both
houses in rush and will probably re-
pose in the governors office for the
next ten days, when ii will be vetoed

strict party vote.

Mr.. Huntley said he had protect

Experts claimed that by starting
earlier and using more heaters berry
crops could be saved was Mr.. Sly's
report from the Grand Junction
men,.
.H. .M. Gilbert, the Toppenish
and fruit grower as well
as Commission man clinched again
some of the nails Mr.. Sly had
driven. He had sent man over
to Grand Junction for a week and
his reports supported Mr.. Sly's
statements in every particular. His
firm had paid one grower now own

were saved from frost by orchard

here were making no mistake in
going into this plan with all their
might and other portions of the
Yakima Valley would undoubtedly
do the same the coming spring He
made an excellent impression as a
forceful speaker and the mention
of twelve thousand dollar check
caused many a one to sit up and
take notice. At the conclusion of
the remarks two committees were
to handle the matter.
The Finance Committee is composed
of S. NJ. Lockerby, L. E. johnson,

to the CLUB. Several spoke on the
matter and by agreement land ct

spoke stating why Mrs. c. J. Beach

it was doubtful whether it could be

that their wives did not know them,
The test was the night requiring
~ hours continuous firing and as
none OF the heaters would last that
long they had to be reflled during
the night. The weather station
kept the telephone central informed
OF the temperature and the central

hourly bulletins as to how the ther.

In operation there that tree rows
had fruit on the side they were
smudged while on the other side
they did not. Where the smudg-
ing was done thoroly thru out an
orchard the fruit was saved altho
the orchard was separated quite a
distance from other orchards. Thdre
was a variation as high as eight de-
grecs in temperature at different
points but even in the colder por-
tlOns the fruit came thru O. X.
At the conclusion of Mr.. Sly's
talk lasting about 40 minutes State
Horticultural Commissioner F. A.
Huntley spoke briefly. He stated
that he had intended to take up
the question of What is it that
Keeps off Frost?" in scientific
way but would not do so for the
reason that it would occupy too
much time. Smudging has how
ever been successfully used for Kost
prevention viz: at Clarkston, Wash.
They used manure ard smudged
three times there last spring and
saved their cherry crop, it being
the first full crop they ever raised.
They raised so many that two can.
neries were kept running to use the
fruit too ripe for shipment and the
Fruit Growers Association had great
difficulty in finding adequate mar
ket for them.
Mr. Huntly stated it was his sestled
conviction after much investigation
that there is no question as to the
practibility of smudging to protect
fruits from frost. He spoke partic-

Environment Rather Than HoredIty
Creates Lawbrsaksrs.
Contrary to a popular fallacy, says q
writer in Van Norden's, there are few
born criminals. Our so called criminal
population is largely the result Of en-
vironment, which includes not only
material surroundings, the physical
and mental effects Of poverty and dis
ease, but It also reflects the idea Of a
peremptoFy ehastisement which runs
through all criminal codes Seeing that
the law. which he Is taught represents
civic morality, resorts to immediate
vengeance and application of brutal
punishment the person whose mind
has been warped by a sense of real or
fancied injustice often accepts the
laws standard as his own and pro-
ceeds to execute 1t on his own hook.
Henry M. Boies I'm his Science OF
PenolOgy" estimates that in the United
States there are ten times as many
criminals at large as are confined in
prisons. AS the average number of
prisoners is about $4,000, this would
superfcially mean that not less than
100000 criminals constantly manage to
keep out Of prison.
DR.. s. A. KnOpf, one Of the Delegates
Of the United States to the international
prison conference and one of the most
eminent authorities in this country on
tuberculosis, says:
'Tn some Of our prisons in the Unit
ed States 90 per cent Of the prisoners
die OF tuberculosis. The chief cause
Of this large number Of deaths Is the
lack Of air and light, Of sufficient ven
tilation In the cells and shops. poor
diet, overwork. mental depression and,
finally, that which Is Of not least i'm.
portance, living with those who have

out any measure being taken to pre-
vent the spread of the bacillus Of tu-
berculosis from expectoration upon the
