The doctor bill passed the senate this week and was sent to the house, the measure being in practically It's original form, with the exception or the amendment giving rights to Christ ian science practitioners and reQuir- ing doctors to display in their offices list of fees they charge.
 Wood, of Yavapai, has introduced a bill of more than ordinary importance relating to the method of incorpora- tion of railroad corporations, and fe- quiring all railroads of the state to maintain general offices in Arizona.
 On Thursday the house spent good part of the morning considering the bill fixing the hours of labor for wo- men with nine hours minimum, and finally passed the measure to that eff feet, but not until those who opposed the bill had exhausted every known parliamentary tangle to delay action. Opponents to the bill were led by Representatives Graham, of Cochise, and Lewis, of Gila, who based their opposition on the fact that it would increase the hours of labor for laun- dry workers. During the debate, Lewis made the statement that coll ditions in the Phoenix laundries were deplorable, so far as he had investl- gated. Not only did he find that young girls were doing irksome work, but that t|'@ eight hour laws were be- ing ignored, and the pay was tritiing compared with the service perform ed.

 It would seem tha; the board of control had made the best of it's op- portunity to discuss State affairs and it was well it did so, for apparently the present board is doomed to die, judging from the action of the house this morning when that body consid- cred the new board of control scheme as proposed in Representative Craig S bill. The new measure, it will be e. called, makes the governor, the audi tor, the chairman of the corporation commission, the secretary of State and the treasurer, the board of control and they are to hay absolute dicta- ton of the various State institutions which was taken out of the bill by Representative Moore of Pima.
 On Tuesday the senate passed the Kentucky clause house bill which has no emergency section and sent it to the governor. The executive also was given the repeal of the bullion tax measure and the code commission CT bill and the Worsley amendment to the State constitution, proposing to give the State the right to engage in industrial pursuits was filed with the secretary of State. The senate pass ed and sent to the house for action the semi-monthly payday bill.

TRAIL BLAZING ID E N GOU RA | [
 LONG TOUR
Examiners" Work of Opening Great Highway Starts Dol
 lars Flowing
TO SPEND OVER ONE MILLION
LOCAL AUTO CLUES EFFORTS IN POSTING ROADS ALSO
 BID TO SOUTHLAND.

1 Los Angeles, May That the ef- forts of the Los Angeles Examiner and the Ocean-to-Ocean Highway asSocia- tion, in blazing trau from this city to New York will result in the eX- penditure of more than a million dol lars in cross-country touring during the year 1912, is shown by statistics recently compiled. The Examiner Pathfinder is only two-thirds of the way on it's journey to Gotham, yet it has created such widespread interest, and has so clearly proved the feasi- bility of ocean-to-ocean travel in au- tomobiles, regardless of the season, that hundreds of similar tours are be- ing planned by individuals.
 Trans-continental touring has here tofore been looked on as an under taking not to be lightly essayed. But in spite of this it's growth has been so wonderful in the past few days that soon cars will be coming over the Ocean-to-Ocean Highway on an average of over one day.
 Expenses Are Heavy.
 According to figures issued by the American Automobile Associations S Touring Information Bureau in New York, it is conservatively estimated that 800 cars, with an average of four persons to a car, will go across the country this year. Their estimated expenses, based on careful investiga- tion md past experience, will be as follows:
 Gasoline 55,O00 Oil 15,000 Tires . 180,000 Garage 15,OOO Equipment for cars. . 25,OOO Equipment for passengers 60,0O0 Hotel bills ................ 32O,OO0 Incidentals, purchases of sou
 yenirS, etc. ......... 30,0G0' Return railroad fares . 250,0OG Freight on return of cars... 75,000
 Total s1 O25 900
 This total is enough to interest for the fares of returning passengers and freight of their cars will amount to about s325 5,0O0. No estimate is made of the money spent by the tour ists while on the Pacific coast. Of course, there is some depreciation in cars, and many new machines are bought. for the specific purpose of transcontinental trips. It is cer- tainty that the number of cars making this trip will increase by leaps and bounds each year as road conditions improve. Work is being done all along the route this year to better road conditions.

The New Owners Have Begun
Making Very General
improvements
CAPACITY TO BE INCREASED
Room Will Hereafter Be
On The First Floor, South
Side.

The great improvements to be
made in Hotel Latham, mention OF
which was made in these columns
some weeks ago, will be completed
10 the near future. The new pro-
prietors of the hotel, Messrs. A. d.
Noe & Son will expend something
like $4,000 or SO OOO to carry out
their idea Of what an up to-date
stopping place should be.
The work Of tearing out partitions
was begun yesterday. A car load of
bath tubs and lavatories has already
been received. as well as carload
of mattresses. This week the put
ling down terrszzo floor in the
lobby will begin. The new dining
room will be on the first floor. front
ing on Seventh street. The Office
will remain where it lie, but the
North section will be cut off by a
partition, but as the space south OF
the grand stairway will be fitted up
a. ladies lounging room the area
of the lobby will be about the same
as it now is. The present, dining
room will be converted into fifteen
guest I, Ons. Every room in the
MOTEL will contain layatory, tele-
phone and all other conveniences.
Messrs. Noe & Son have closed a
contract with the electric light com
pany for term of years to light the
entire building A new culinary
building, in the court east of The
office. will necessarily take the place
of the one up stairs. Many marked
improvements will be made ia the
lobby in the way of individual read
ing iesks, etc.
Hotel Latham was beauty when
built but the improvements will
eclipse anything of the kind in this
end of the State. Again we say that
men Who have been running the
hotel for the past five years should
b. encouraged by our people. for
man no are not afraid to invest
th-ir money are the kind that Hop
kinsvile needs. Continued success
in their business is what everybody
wishes.

Fifty Thousand Girls Lost.

Fifty thousand young women
and girls are lost in the United
States every year. They simply
drop out of existence" This is not
fiction told to arouse your interest.
It is the deliberate statement of
Theodore Bingham, former Commits
sioner of Police in New York City.
Ample corroborative evidence APP
pears in the sworn testimony of the
United States immigration Commits
sion on file in Washington to which
national and even international at
tention has been drawn and in the
reports Of recent cases tried in the
United States Courts in New York
and illinois. dealing with the white
slave traffic. A report of the I'm
migration league of Chicago for 1910
says that In one year 100 young
women totally disappeared between
the port of New York and Chicago
alone. of whom no trace could be
found.
Every year thousands of ambi-
tious young women come to the
great cities looking for a chance to
better their condition and to win an
honorable livelihood. Rich in hope
and ambition but lacking in exper-
fence and resources, they fall easy
prey to the agents of disorderly |
houses who patrol stations and piers
and travel on trains and steamships |
and are ever alert to discover I'M
protected women and girls.

The vagrant pointed to woman
who was emerging from a nearby
apartment house carrying pail of
steaming coffee.
There's the answer" he said. "At
every winter fire that gives the fire
men a hard tussle the women of the
neighborhood bring out coffee and
sandwiches to brace them up. Some
times the firemen don't have time to
snatch a bite, sometimes they do.
Anyhow, there is sure to be some
thing left over, and the women-well,
It's a hard-hearted woman that won't

The man kept an eye on his candid
derelict. He got two cups OF coffee

MULEY HAFID GOES HUNTING
Sultan Of Morocco Uses the TeIe-
phone, Wireless and Acetylene
During Days Sport.

Muley Hafid, Sultan of Morocco,
has evidently, made up his mind to
make the best OF things and have as
good time as he can.
A short time ago he expressed the
desire to go partridge and rabbit
hunting. To go out without an army
would have been impossible to him a
few months ago, before the French
occupation Of Fec. But he started out
one morning with small escort. and
had good luck at hunting. while no
rebellious tribesmen took shot at
him. Ut
At 2 o'clock in the afternoon he
found a tent set up and luncheon
served. On the way home he stop
ped at a French fort. used the tele-
phone to call up his palace at Fez and
saw for the first time wireless tele-
graph in operation.
After many trials the operator sue
ceeded in getting into communication
with the station on the Eifrel Tower,
and the Sultan sent a message to his
minister in Paris, Ell Mokri
Acetylene lamps were used to light
his entry into Fee, and the Sultan was
as pleased over the days sport as a
child with new toy.
