 The bill relating to the initiative and referendum was recommended to take it's regular course.
 The bill providing for clerks for the board of control and making an ap- propriation to pay their salaries was referred to committee. The bill ere ating the office of state geologist was sent on it's regular course. It will be recalled that the state geologist was vetoed by the governor a; the end of the regular session be- cause the measure provided that such official should be selected from the faculty of the state university. The present bill was framed to meet that objection.
 The bill providing for the collection of vital statistics was sent to com mittee. Then the house took up the school land bill which was partly con- sidered and then went over until to- day. After this action the committee ot the whole arose

 The house started the session yes terday by adopting a resolution to the effect that because of the ex- pense involved and the lack of time it would take no action at this ses- sion with reference to the removal of the industrial school from Benson. It then passed two bills One of them provides for the adoption of a uni form system of accounting by state officers. The other is the bill proVid- ing for 90 year leases for school lands. This bill passed by the vote of 2S to three.
 Representative Jacobs presided over the committee of the whole at yes terday's session and made quite record as a presiding officer. The first business in committee was the bill relating to the publication of constitutional amendments. This was recommended for indefinite postpone ment.

Another prop osition was to extend the same eX- emption to all persons who were Yot- CTS in Arizona in 1883, which was also lost A third amendment by Harry Johnson extended the eXemp- ton provision to veterans of the civil and Mexican wars, but this amend ment shared the fate of the others.
 The appropriation bills relating to the Pioneers Home. the University of Arizona. and the Northern Normal, the general incorporation bill, the two percent surety taxation bill, and the bill for the publication of the ses- sion laws were all passed after there had been a call of the house to get all the members in the chamber.

FLOWERS RULE LONDON SOCIETY Bouquets of Roses and Orchids Worn
 at All Occasions.

LONDON-The social season of 1912 is to be a great folwer season. say the authorities, and one can easily believe it even so early as this.
 Every other woman is wearing nat ural flowers on her ball gowns, her opera toilets and even with her most severe toilets and even with her most severe tailor made costumes. For street wear the bouquets are small and tight ly bound together, but in the evening great clusters of flowers are worn on the bodice, and sometimes looped in the panniers of the new frocks.
 At the last court the floral decora- tions were far more elaborate than those usually seen at Buckingham Pal ace, while exquisite bouquets were car ried by those presented. Some were of orchids in palest shades, others were composed of the new carnations which are of a curious purple shade. and many were just artistically massed clusters of pied pink and rose cineraria.
 Ballroom decorations exceed in beau ty those of any previous season. Fly drangeas, which are particularly fine this year, are much used, the purple. pink and blue being combined with a beautiful effect. Roses are always popular especially those of the delicate Dorothy Perkins variety, but this year hostesses are trying new effects.
 The woman who had her ballroom ;1ecked out with bowers and masses of sulphur colored carnations felt she really had achieved something in the floral line, for everyone knew it was not easy to obtain such a quantity of these peculiarly tinted flowers.

NO NAVY YARD ON THAMES RIVER
Secretary Wes Gave Preference to League Island at Pha dephia Fifty Years Ago-Sixteenth Connecticut Re duced to 4O6 Men-Blockade Prices in North Carolina Send Molasses to $4 Gallon and Sugar to 65 Gents Per Pound

The Thames river lost in the effort to have a navy yard located there at New London fifty years ago, and League Island in the Delaware at Philadelphia was chosen by the sec retary of war instead. The city of Philadelphia made the government an offer of free gift of the League Island site, which, moreover, was especially chosen by Secretary Welles because it was on fresh water believed to be better for a navy of iron ships, and he considered that its island location was point in it's favoor as making it less vulnerable to attack.

Ladies' Guild Holds Well Attended Sale at Guild Rooms of St. Andrews Church.

A Christmas sale of cake, candy, aprons and fancy articles was suc4 cessfully conducted by the Ladies guild in the guild rooms of St. An drew's church on Central avenue Fri day. It began in the afternoon and continued throughout the evening. Many seized the opportunity to se- cure pretty Christmas gifts for friends and those in charge were kept busy showing and selling articles. The room was very prettily decorated for the sale, many streamers adorning the walls, pictures and ceiling. The apron table was in charge of Mrs. Benjamin Bolles, Mrs. William Kendall and Mrs. Alexander Finlayson. Mrs. William Banfeld, Mrs. William Baker and Mrs. George Stevens had charge of the cake table, and Miss Edith Crosten, Miss Emma Baker and Mrs. F. A.

out to fight for our country; we can not expect roast turkey for our meals. I know 1t, but for the last four weeks we have been fighting lice instead of the enemies of the country, and as for expecting roast turkey for meals, do not, as I am confident before we could take the second mouthful, it would summarlly be taken possession of by delegation of those beautiful little striped birds or Quadrupends and we should be under the painful neces- sity of seeing it move off. Nickols says, Let's have some skouce." Yours Rev. Whack.
 Turned Down Navy Yard on Thames.
 Secretary of the Navy Welles has given the preference to League Island at Philadelphia over the Thames River at New London as the site for a new navy yard wanted by the government. The majority of a board of naval officers appointed to consider the two sites favored New London, the vote standing to on the matter. Secre- tary Welles concludes his reaAons by stating asY follows:
 AS neither the harbor of New Lon- don nor the waters of Narraganset bay are adapted to the purposes and wants of an iron navy, whatever may be their advantages in other respects, and as League Island has the requisites of fresh water security from external enemies, and proximity to iron and coal. I propose to receive and accept for the Government the munificent do- nation of League Island by the city of Philadelphia, unless Congress shall otherwise direct.
 Three stragglers from the Twenty sixth regiment came up on the New York boat Sunday night. Two of them were arrested in this city on Monday, and sent back.
