ACTION DELAYED
ON PENSION FUND
Other Business, with Absence of
Representative Redfeld, Cause
for Failure to Report.

A combination OF other business with
the absence OF Representative Redfeld.
author OF the measure which IL is proposed
to substitute for the Carlin bin. were
jointly responsible for the delay in legis-
lation on the matter OF the police and
firemeH's pension fund yesterday.
Though II was unable to act, the COM
mittee signified its interest in both the
johnson and the Redfield measures. The
latter will probably pass at the meeting
next week.
The committee delayed action on the
johnson bill providing for the creation
OF a permanent plan OF retirement for the
firemen and police. following an extern
slve hearing. during which Police Sergt.
c. L. Lerd and others were heard on the
subject.
This hearing was in progress when the
committee adjourned at noon. The chief
objection raised to the johnson bill is
that it makes the term of service too
long before granting retirement: Sergt.
Lord and others were OF the opinion
that twenty. instead OF twenty-five, years
should be the time served before receiv-
ing a pension. Even at this rate less
than one-seventh Of the members Of the
force would receive pensions after they
were superannuated. IL was said.
The Redfield bill which appropriates
funds to make up the existing deficiency
in the police and firemen's pension fund.

WOMEN WARNED
OF EXTRAVAGANCE
Miss White, in Address on Suffrage,
Tells Why Young Men
Hesitate.

All eligible young women were given
due warning by Miss Nettie Lovisa
White in an address on suffrage yester-
day, when she declared that unless they
adopted less extravagant taste in the
matter OF dress they would discourage
the young men who admired them. be-
cause Dan Cupid would lose heart when
he finds that he is expected to support a
5000 wife on a s2.5Oo income.
Young men. many OF them" said
Miss White. hesitate to enter matrimony
because OF the extravaganza of women,
and Il VIII soon come 20 pass that un-
less the young women use more discre-
ton they will be compelled TO be con-
tented as old maids
The address was given under the aus
pices OF the National Suffrage Associa-
ton at the home OF Mrs. A. L. Barber,
Belmont
tor continued Mss White, women are
spending their ducats for fnery. As a
natural sequence. this vanity will only
be corrected when women cultivate their
more valuable qualities and develop a
greater love for something more profit
able"
The attitude OF Wisconsin and Kansas
and the proposed action OF Ohio In grant,
ing suffrage was made the basis for a
note of hope sounded by the speaker.
who declared that the movement was
gaining ground in this country.

LEGENDARY FISH LORE.
How the DuEonE Gave Birth to the
Mermaid Myth.

Sea plants and their functions and the
habits of fish and amphibians were the
subjects OF lecture In the New Masonic
Temple yesterday afternoon, given by
Charles t. Austin, under the auspices
Of the National Geographic Society. Mr..
Austin interspersed the instructive por-
tions OF his lecture with legends, for
instance, that OF the mermaid.
This myth and that of the sea SER
pent were attributed by the speaker TO
imaginative persons whom. he declared,
saw the dugong. or sea COW, which is a
mammal, and often rises to the surface
of the ocean with its young held In its
fllppers. The seaweed, said the speaker,
often becomes entangled in the head OF
the dugong and from a distance appears
to be hair. This, he says, caused the
myth. Superstitious sailors, seeing the
dugong. would come to the conclusion
that the creature was half human and
half FISH. The sea serpent myth, he said.
sprung from seamen who have seen the
ribbon fish, a creature 10 feet or more in
length.
Motion pictures of whaling in the
South Sea were shown. and a diver at
work destroying a derelict proved an in
teresting feature Films depicting sew
eral species OF FISH in captivity proved
Of especial interest. particularly those
OF the octopus A large audience al.
tended the lecture.

Why Women Seek Suffrage.

Men pardon in politics what
women will not overlook. because
they are not slaves to the politi-
cal machine.
The fact that women are dis
similar in functions. aspirations.
and ambition. makes it self-evi-
dent that men cannot competent
ly represent them In the legisla-'
ture.
The machine OF housekeeping
has been neglected by men for
the machine OF politics.
Every occupation but bridge
has been taken from the women.
Iceland permits its women to
vote. and they are respected
there more than they are in
America.

16O FAMILIES LIVE
 ON no ACRES

Washington, D. C., June 10.-(Spe- cial to The Yuma Daily Examiner) American farmers have much to learn, if they ever decide that it is desira- ble to learn it, with regard to intensive cultivation.
 United States Consul Robert Fra ger, IT,, of Valencia, Spain, has writ ten to the state department to the eff feet that in the Province of Valencia families subsist on the produce of four-tenths of an acre of land and that as many as 160 families live on 100 acres The cultivation is by hand, little machinery being used, and the land is officially valued at an ave- age of $656 an acre. Rainfall being in- sufficient, irrigation is necessary, but the production is enormous, amounting to more than 100000 metric tons of oranges, olives, grapes and other crops.

Tucson, June 11.-On their way to the Grand Canyon by automobile, a trip which a few years ago was de clared next to impossible but is now becoming popular, party of six head ed by Capt. John c. Greenway, general manager of the Calumet and Arizona mine at Bisbee, arrived in the city on Friday evening in two automobiles, and left for Phoenix and the Grand Canyon at o'clock this morning.
 The party consisted of Capt Green way, his mother, Mrs. Addison Green way, the Misses Greenway, his sisters, Dr. l.. D. Ricketts, general manager of the Greene-Capanea properties, and his daughter, Miss Henrietta Rick etts.
 After spending about four days at the Grand Canyon, the party will re- turn to Bisbee. The round trip is expected to take two weeks.

HOW ESCAPED CONVICT
 WAS WELCOMED BACK
LOPEZ WAS DRESSED IN SUIT OF RED FLANNEL AND FOOLS CAP PLACED ON HIS HEAD.

William Sparks, who returned from the twin conventions in Tucson, on his way over stopped at Florence on busi- ness. He tells an interesting story about how a prisoner who escapes and is caught is treated by the penitentiary authorities under the new system
 You know" said MT. Sparks, they have what they call a snake cell over there. It is a sheet iron room. The day I w9s there they brought Lopez, the two termer and murderer who escaped from Tempe And noS what do you suppose they cid to him.
 Well, what did they do," he was asked 'Did they throw him Tn :he snake hole?"
 Well, you wouldn't hardly believe it possible, if I told you how they treated him." said Mr. Sparks. '1t is so strange and rediculous. But you can see an account of it in the Blade Tribune of Florence to verify the story
 Lopez was brought to town and dressed in a suit of red flannel which was cut off at the knees. A white fringe was placed about the bottom. A fools cap was placed on his head. In this way he was marched to the peni- tentiary. I myself saw this spectacle. As he neared the walls of the state prison the band commenced to play Home, Sweet Home,' and the prison CTS were all lined up in a double row welcoming him Back to our city, they said.
 "As Lopez walked down this line he prisoners made faces at him and hooted him. In some other respects 1t was laughable, in other respects it was pathetic, in all respects it was ab- surd d"-Globe Silver Belt.

GEN. OROzCO PROTESTS
 AGAINST AN ELECTION

Chihuahua, June 7.-General Oroz- co has written a formal protest to the Mexican congress against the holding of elections on June 15 throughout the republic for deputies and stnatcrs to the national legislative body. The rebel chief said the country is hel l up in arms against the government, and many men in the field could not vote. The significance of the mng3 lies in the fact that General Orozco thereby practically recognizes the Mexican congress and is thought to be in line with the peace proposal said to have originated in congress, suggesting that if Orozco recognized congress that body would in turn rec OgniZe him.

HABIT 0F ADVERTISING

The habit of advertising articles found and lost is second nature with most Yuma people. Never day goes by but someone is made happy by an Examiner want ad and it happens that sometimes articles lost are restored to their owners without the formality of an ad
 Yesterday Mrs. T. l.. McCutcheon of the Yuma Drug store lost a sum of money, a handkerchief and a key an Second avenue, and The Examiner was notified early in the morning to run an ad About noon Sam Cunning ham, of the Eureka Dairy, came into The Examiner office with the lost money, key. and handkerchief, to ad- vertise for the owner Two ads that didn't get in the paper but The Ex- aminer did the business just the same, because of the lost an found habit.
 Yet there are people who do not avail themselves of The Examiner want ads, and do not realize the eff ciency of the newspaper service. It is safe to say that many articles are lost daily that could be recovered if the loosers would run 15c ad.

TRIP THROUGH THE

The great tunnel is now open from end to end.
 This achievement occurred at six minutes past two on Saturday after noon and a telephone message made this fact known to The Examiner at that time.
 Since then the workman have been busy as bees making the hole larger where the first drill went through in- to the California shaft and now any one with permit from the project engineer and a little nerve can go from the Arizona mouth of the Siphon 100 feet down, thence 900 feet through the tunnel, and emerge on top again at the California mouth of the shaft.
 It is not improbable that Project Engineer Sellew will soon announce another visitors day when all who wish to may make the underground trip to California.

GILA HAY DEALERS
 FACE HEAVY LOSSES
MARKET DROPS WHILE BROKERS WAIT FOR CARS, CAUSING A LOSS OF $1o,ooo.

Stafford, June 1.-The hay dealers of the Gila Valley are in a bushel of trouble, with a fair prospect of losing about $1O,OOO
 Contracts were entered into with eastern brokers for May delivery of a vast quantity of hay at $10 per ton. The local dealers contracted ter their hay and shipped a large amount, when suddenly a shortage of cars oc- cured. The railroad officials were appealed to but no relief was ob- tained until the Corporation Commis- sion took the matter up, then plenty of care were sent in.
 These were loaded and shipped but before they reached their destination the dealers were notified that exist ing contracts were cancelled as hay dropped to $7.50.
