AN EASTER PARTY
 FOR THE CHILDREN
How the Day Was Celebrated m One Phoenix Neighbor-
 hood.

If the grOwn-ups enjoyed the occa- sion of the celebration of Easter yes terday. and derived as many fun loving and harmless pranks as some or all of the youngsters. it will be a specific annual entertainment and oc- casion to commemorate in its re- membrance.
 The little fellows were up and out early Easter morn. some of them yet in their night clothes, tip-toeing and peeping ont of windows. or out in yards, craning their heads and necks looking through the widest opening in the fence just as if another circus ard animal show was arriving. They held their faces and eyes to the east. for some one had told them that the sun would rise with a babe in full view. It could not be learned how many, if any, realized the pleasant anticipation. but it was made nota- ble fact later on that if they were disappointed in this expectation. they had not lost any nerve or vigor in the gathering of eggs and dyeins them ir all imaginable cOlors.
 One of these festivals and celebra- tions was at the home of Irene and Claudina Sanchez, back of No. IS East Monroe street, and they had gathered a host of younger friends to participate with them in the joys of the day They ran riot in wild giee in recognition of its coming.
 Hiding and seeking was one of the pastimes of the youngsters. and the finder of the basket of eggs was the owner: but if there was only one egg. then look out! for it might he broken over somebody's head.
 These pastimes kept "Open house in the streets and alleys. and about

 ACTIVITIES
Some of Leading Topics of Interest With Which the Week Opens; Labor Much Concerned Over Senate Bill q.

Though political interest has at tended the use of the emergency privilege by the state legislature. by far the greatest concern created thus r-throughout the state has been in connection with Senate Bill 21, the measure which practically preciudes the employment of any person in a mine or at any hazardous business unless he speaks the English Ian guage. It requires but a moment thought to see where such law would meet immediate opposition.
 large percentage of the iaborers in Arizona and especially the miners. are foreigners and among them the Mexicans predominate in the state at large Many of the larger mining companies, operating on large low grade ore bodies, depend largely on Mexican labor. as for instance the Ray Consolidated. It is said that shat company employs about 15OO. who represent a population of approx imately 5000. The Arizona Copper company at Clifton is similarly sit uated and many other big mines could be ClteQ lnOuSH tiieSc "i Pi'D

 The senate bill is now before the senate committee on labor which held a session Saturday afternoon. At that time numerous representatives of the
 Mexican population appeared and en- tered their protest against the pas- sage of the bill. The delegation was
 headed bv Ricardo Bravo of this | city, the Mexican consul. Others were
 Eduardo Gomez, representing the
 Mexican element of Greenlee anC l Graham counties; s. w. Simpson ant

MAIL DELIVERY
 BEGINS MAY 1
Rural Route 5 Will Be Els tablished for Convenience of Settlers South of the River; Box Equipment in Progress

Rural mail service for Phoenix number five is an assured fact and will commence May first. Messrs. Barbier and Glidden have been going over the route the past few days showing an approved box and the method of erecting as recommended by the postal authorities and secur- ing signatures for the acceptance of service. The rames will be printed on the boxes in large letters. de- scrihlble at a distance. The boxes have a very neat appearance, being painted white and handy for the car rier to reach. being sufficiently far from the ground to drive un- der and close up to. This style will not only result in benefit to the patron in serving to protect his box and post from damage by the wealth CT. but will give all boxes uniform color and to fix their identity in all parts of the country as United States mail boxes. and will give them a much heater and sightlier appeanlnce.
 Rural mail boxes and their con- tents are protected by federal statute from wilfull or malicious damage and postmasters will promptly re- port to the department depredations on or interference with mail boxes, or their contents, which come to their notice.
 The Glendale rural route was established on April 1st and these parties were instrumental in the erection of the boxes in this de- si-able and uniform style.

Is it possible for a man. even though he comes from Vulture. to walk about the streets carrying an arsenal of arms concealed about his person and not know it?
 That is the question which con- fronted Justice c. w.

 Marcus. who is said to conduct a combination barber shop. pool hal and other side line business at the Vulture camp came to town Satur- day with a roll; more than three hundred dollars in it.
 The money he deposited in a bank; that is all but enough to see him through the day and night. He final ly wound up at the Santa Fe saloor and there his concealed armament was discovered by Special Officer Billy Dowell; who made the arrest and found on the prisoner an auto matic and a 45 Colt.
 The defendant declared that he re- membered to deposit his money al right, but ''clean forgot" about hi: guns, the carrying of which is con sidered quite au fait in Vulture

indianse reasoned Arrows.

The arrow poison used by the Indians of Colombia has been found to be the secretion of the skin of a small frog. The arrows are eight inch palm spines, which are shot from blowgun about fourteen feet long, and the hunter car ries the frog along in hollow bamboo in order that he may have the poison in a fresh condition. A simple prick Of the skin yields the poison drop when needed. When one of the arrows en- ters the body of even q large animal such as a jaguar, monkey or deer paralysis quickly follows and the vic tim is then easfIF killed. The use of the poison, it is said, does not affect the flesh of the animals killed, which is quite harmless when eaten. T4VO French naturalfsts have made experiments with the edible frog, Rama esculenta, showing that it's skin eXudeS similar poison when irritated and that an eX- tract prepared from the skin gives in guinea pigs the same symptoms as in oculation with the arrow poison.-Chi- cago Tribune.
