NO HANGINOS AT
 THE FLORENCE PRISON

The state board of control has ad- vised United States Marshal C. A. Overlook that it cannot permit the execution of James B. Goodwin. a government prisoner. to take place in the Arizona state prison.
 The letter of the board to Mar shal Overlook reeites that the pris- oner is not being kept by the United States at the prison but was remov. cd to Florence for safe-keeping, iha, no contract exists between the board and the federal government for the keeping of federal prisoners and that therefore. the board feels under no obligation to permit the execution that recently the governor reprieved a number of prisoners in the prison sentenced to death and that the question of capital punishment is to be settled by the legislature or the people this winter. The board fur ther recites that an execution m the prison may have a serious effect on the discipline and the reform system inaugurated by the gover' nor.
 Goodwin who was convicted al Globe, the Governors home town for the brutal murder of two young mer on the Indian reservation north oi Rice was sentenced to be hanged al Florence, by Judge F, w. Lewis oI the fifth judicial district. sitting al Glode. Goodwin appealed to tho United States circuit court of ap peals al San Francisco which afhrm ed the judgment in October.

 The advocates of the special ses- sion hold that while the supreme court may have the right to pass up on the constitution as it affects the state that it should be borne in mind tha, the legislature may be called upon to pass laws which may affect corporations doing an interstate bus mess and that these corporations will take advantage of every technicaiity 10 delay the operation of any law passed by a legislature. the legality of the acts of which may be ques- toned
 Attorney General Builard has ad- vised the governor to call the special session but Governor Hunt seems to be in doubt He pleads that there is no money in the state treasury with which to meet the expense of the special session and says further that there is no room in the capitol in which to hold the session and will be none until the surveyor general. who now occupies five rooms in the building, can move into the new fed eral building which will not be ready for occupancy till January 1 at the earliest

The per spcctivc presents an imposing edi- flee. and in addition to the engineer ing effects shown, the transforma- ton of the arid section into body of inland water strikingly presents itself as one of the admirable feat urcs associated with this iaudablc undertaking. While nothing def- mite is given out as to the purposes of the company in initiating active construction. the belief prevails, new crtheless, that the favorable decis- ions given in all contests filed indi- cates that practical work is ready to begin. unless the unforeseen should arise.

PLANS FOR DAM
 NOW FINISHED
Will Be 500 Feet Long and Maximum Height of ll2 Feet From
 Bedrock.
(From Fridays Daily.)

Some idea of the magnitude of the water service contemplated by the Arizona Land and Irrigation Company, in carrying out the large reclamation project north of this city, can be inferred from the char ac,er of work that will prevail at the mainstorage center on Willow Creek, and details of which were given publicity through the courtesy of Fred B. Walker, chief engineer. This official of the company has finished his duties in outlaying the design of the dam to be built at a point below the Wynkoop ranch on Willow Creek, and near where that stream cmpties into Granite Creek. The perspective shows an archcd type structure. approximately GOO feet long on the crest, with a maximum heighth of ll2 feet from bedrock. It is 10 be four and one half feet wide on top and will be used as a passage way for pedestrian employees, with proper parapet protection being provided against accidents. The base of the dam is 10 be forty-two feet wide on the bedrock, and the entire structure is 10 be of concrete construction.
 The distribution of water will be controlled by cylindrical valve we'll and gate house on the upstream side of the dam. in which seven valves or intakes arc to be installed.

George IT. Clements sends the fol- lowing 10 the Fl Paso Herald from Phoenix where he has been for two weeks during which time he accompanied Governor Hunt on trips to the state prison at Florence and 10 the celebration at Yuma:
 The question uppermost in the minds of those Arizonans who are interested in public affairs is: Will Governor Hunt call a special session of the legislaturc?"
 The reason for the anxiety is the clause in the constitution (Seetion 2i article IV) which reads as fol- lows: "The members of the first legislature shall hold office until the first Monday in January. 1913. The terms of office of the members of succeeding legislatures shall be two years"
 This is held by many of the best lawyers in the state io be SO specific and mandatory that i, cannot be explained away or construed by the supreme court to mean anything but what it says.
 The members of the supreme court held, in their decision upon the Saxon bill"-in which they arc said by those not particularly friendly to them ,o have strained themselves in an attempt to hold themselves and their fellow democrats in office two years longer than they were cl- eeted for"--that while the oonstitu- ton provided ,ha, the members of the legislature should go out of office on the first Monday in January. i, also provided that all officers shall continue in office until their success sors shall be elected and shall have qualified.

NEW EVIDENCE
 ON TOBACCO QUESTION

The consideration of tobacco and it's dangers has heretofore been largely based on the amount of nico- tin contained in the smoke. But there are other products of tobacco which must share the responsibility. Among these are carbon monoxid gas. prussic acid. furfural and some others Although all of these com pounds admittedly are poisonous. their danger depends on the quan- titles in which they arc taken. Re gently investigations have been made of some of these toxic products. and the results are of considerable interest The fact that the action oi certain kinds of tobacco has been attributed to the prussic acid in their smoke has induced the Wurz- burg hygienist, Prof K. E. Lch- mann. to investigate the charge. He has found that the amount of this compound produced depends some what on the rate at which the tobac- co is smoked. The slower the cur rent of air through cigar, the smaller is the amount of prussia acid formed. The entire amount found. however, is too small to ac- count for the effects. So far the burden of the blame for the ID ef- fects of smoking would appear to rest on nicotin. Investigations made by the London Lancet indicate that the ordinary cheap cigarette con tains the least nicotin in the smoke and the pipe the most. the cigar oc- cupying an intermediate position. Assuming, then, that nicotin is the essentially injurious substance in tobacco, the cigaret would appear 10 be the lcast harmful form, pro vided that the amount of tobacco consumed was no greater in this form than in others.
 The general impression, however. is that cigarette smoking Is the most pernicious form of indulgence in tobacco. This might be account ed for in part by the facts that the form of the cigarette makes it pos sible for young persons to indulge in it when they would not smoke cigars or pipes. that in older persons it lends itself to ovcrindulgence and that the smoke may be inhaled with less irritation and. therefore, that more of the products may be ab- sorbed into the system. Further investigations indicate that the most injurious forms of smoking are nof those in which nicotm prevails but those in which there is larger proportion of furfural Furfural is about fifty times as poisonous as or dinary alcohol. There is a proba' bility that the least harmful tobae' co will turn out to be that which yields a minimum of furfural in the smoke. Although the amount o' nicotin present in the cheaper grades of cigarettes is practically ncgIi' gible, the amount of furfurai appears 10 be sufficient in itself to account for the bad effects attributed to cigarette smoking. The use of to bacco in It's various forms is SC general that the subject is of almost

universal interest. The Journal of the American Medical Association thinks that the smoker is entitled to know the dangers of the safest methods of using tobacco, while edu- cators and all who have anything to do with the young. whether by example or by precenpt, will appre- ciatc scientific facts with which to back up wise deductions from cx- pcricncs
