INJUNCTION CASE ID
 COME UP WEDNESDAY
Application for Permanent Writ Will Then Be
 Argued

The case Of Hoffman Bros. Loan and Trust Co.,, and 4. J. Kisselburg against the city ot Bisbee, an appli- cation for an injunction will come up in the superior court Wednesday for determination of whether the tenn porary injunction issued by Judge Sutter, Friday last, enjoining the city against the plaintiffs, shall be made permanent
 In the hearing Friday, the court sustained the special demurrer of the cIty of Bisbee upon the contention that the plaintiffs alleging that they were not subject to the provisions of the ordinance could not question the val idity ol the ordinance; but issued the temporary injunction upon the theory that the plaintiffs would be subject to many suits under the ordinance because the city had threatened to prosecute them if they continued in business and they should not be prose cuted, being innocent of a violation Of the ordinance. The city cOntended that if they were not within it's terms that fact would be determined in the court which would try the case when brought. and the jlaintiFs contended that they were entitled to an injunc tion to prevent the city carrying out these threats because they claimed not to be within the terms Of the or dinance in ad nnce of the proposed criminal suit
 Ordinance No. IF, regulating and taxing real estate agents or sub-ag ents selling land not located in Co chise county. becomes effective tomor row. There is said to be but one az ency in the city at the present time and that will come under the provis- ions Of the ordinance and the agent l.. K.

SCHOOL CELEBRATION
 PROVIDED UNDER LAW
New Statutes Proposed to Change Meaning of
 Word Holiday

Thursday. Feb, 22. will be observed by the schools of the city by closing. It will De the anniversary of the birth of George Washington. There will be no formal reception in Bisbee but "hatchet parties" will be the rule g. mong the social organizations.
 The derivation of the word "holi day illustrates the extent to which the meaning of the word has been changed. The word is a combination of two words, holy and day" or a day consecrated to some purpose. The commonly accepted meaning of the word these times is a day of ces- sation from labor and this meaning is given in the late dictionaries.
 In the new school laws which will be introduced at the first state legis- lature, this will be changed so far as the schools are concerned and the or iginal meaning will be revived in prac- tice.
 The new school laws, call for the formal celebration of five holidays in the schools. These holidays are Ar
 
 Birthday. Admission Day and Wash ington's Birthday the last three com ing in the month of February. This new law if passed as prepared. pro yides for a celebration exercise in ali the schools of the state The law will do away with the custom Of dis missing school for the entire day. The celebration exercises will be held in the afternoon and the schools will be dismissed following these exercis- es
 The idea of this provision is to make these anniversaries of histori- cal events and the births of patriots mean something to the younger gen. erations. Under the present system of holiday observance by the schools the principle feature of the celebration or observance to the children is that it is a brief but acceptable surcease from the tyranny of the merciless tri. umvirate-the three R's.

BISBEE ORDINANCE
 WAKENS ATTENTION
Real Estate License Subject ot Interest in Cities
 at Distance

The progressiyeness Of Bisbee's city administration in attracting attention of other parts of the country. It ap- pears that the conditions existing in bfsbee, which caused the passage Of the foreign real estate ordinance. is one that other cities have to contend with aud Mayor Newman is being ask ed for information regarding the or dlnance
 Yesterday he received a request from the interstate press bureau, rep resentlng the St. Louis Republic ask ing for information about the real es. tate ordinance The request is for a statement concerning the necessity of such an ordinance. how it was receiv- ed by the realty men and whether other cities of Arizona have such an ordinance
 So far as is known in Bisbee, no other city in the territory has such an ordinance. Mayor Newman will give the bureau the information ask ed for. and the press bureau will pre- pare a feature story on the subject for the St. Louis Sunday Republic.
 Developments since the passage of the ordinance tend to show that the ordinance will be no great revenue producer One of the largest of the companies said to have been aimed at by the ordinance has secured an in- junction against the enforcement of the ordinance where it was concerned and another of the Pacific coast agen. cies will withdrew. The Eyerglade agency here. it is said, will pay the tax of S75 per quarter.
 According to statements of council men at the time of the passage of the ordinance the purpose of tbe or dinance was not 10 enrich the city treasury but to regulate and limit this kind of real estat business in 3Isbee.

Human Sacrifices stIII.

In some parts of Syria the peasants believe that doctors and druggists have right to kill one man and one woman every year to make medicines out of their bodies. A druggist whose establishment was boycotted because he was thought to have tried to mur- der a boy, brought suit against the boys parents for their interference with his trade, but he received no damages, as it was recognized that the adults were believers in the old superstition.
