laughing eyes, and clear blue eyes. The
children thoroughly enjoy the games and
busy work of their three hour day. They
came back in the afternoon one day re-
Gently to entertain a party of visiting
ladies. There were 62 of them, ranging
from a wee baby, who was visiting too
to the larger girls who were in the cook
ing and sewing classes which are con-
nected with the kindergarten work. These
older girls repeated some of the things
they had given on Mayday, a graceful
number in which they waved green
boughs, and a spirited figure executed on
the circle. After this they gathered
around Miss Grim in friendly manner
that was good to see, making some re-
quest in regard to another song. AS they
filed out Miss Grim stood at the door
with a quick, pleasant, THANK you,
girls; for they had given up their after
noon to help her entertain the visitors.
1t was plain that a spirit of cooperation
and good will is being developed. Fol-
lowing the older girls, the little folks took
their places on the circle, and did a step,
step. step. hop, step, step, step, hop,
while Miss Smith played Dixie. Thers
was no doubt that they liked it and that
the audience did too. There was an
other game in which one child chose a
partner. sang and skipped around the
circle with him, and returned to his place
leaving his partner to choose another. A
tiny blue-eyed girl chose a plump, sober
maid with brown eyes and brown curls
and the earnest gravity with which they
bowed and skipped appealed to every
body.
Another day the llindergarteners were
seen during their regular hours Miss
Smith was at the piano and a girl of -

little head was adorned with a peaked
cap and all the children were thereby
transformed into brownies. AS they sang
and heel-and-toed and scurried brownie
fashion, they were gathered up one by
one until all were in a line each with
his hands on the shoulders of the child
Immediately In front of him. After this
they sat Turk-style around the circle for
another game. Two children were Sc
lected: one closed his eyes, while the
otner had a bright colored hall fastened
on his waist. They advanced to the mid
die of the circle. where the first child
tried to see the ball at the others back.
Round and round he went, making quick
darts and sudden turns in the hope OF
catching the other off guard, but as fast
as he moved his companion moved, with
eyes twinkling and mouth moving too, as
if that would help his nimble feet. An
other game was played by having two
children sit in chairs at one side of the

WARNING OF CREDIT
STR|NGENCY GIVEN
Danger That Capital May
Be Wanting to Meet
Needs

New York. May 31-The financial
| markets received another example and
"a warning of the credit stringency in
| the ST. Louis and San Francisco re-
ceivership. This broadened the infer
ence of the week before, drawn from
the New York city bond sale and the
Chinese loan that the supplying of cap
| ital was a question of price rather than
| lack of funds. The danger that capital
| might be wanting to meet the needs
of maturing obligations weighed on
| markets all around, although the spe-
cial features in the St. Louis and san
Francisco's position was appreciated.
The world wide range of credit strin-
gency was corroborated by many indi-
cations Warning came simultaneously
from influential banking authorities at
home and abroad. Immediate money
market conditions in New York in
clined to increase and there were no
further takings of gold for export.
Berlin engaged gold in London, how
ever, ana imperial banking authorities
warned German banks not to pay out
gold. Our own banks are insisting on
short maturities and are subjecting
loans to severe scrutiny in anticipa-
tion of autumn and harvest needs.
Growth of the movement to expe-
dite currency legislation is given weight
in the discussion of the financial out
look. The small use of credits in spec
ulation is shown by the volume of
dealings in stocks, which are smaller
for five months than in any year since
1891 The same is true of dealings in
bonds, excepting the year 1907
The Union Pacific plan of dissolu-
tion was announced too late for thor
ough digestion by speculative opinion
With the underwriting price for South
ern Pacific unfinished and the Central
Paciiic's final disposition undetermined
the solution lacks finality.
Scarcity OF new orders is the distinct
feature of business, but testimony seems
agreed that conditions are sound. The
wheat market has reflected some in
evitable reaction from the brilliant
early promise of winter wheat with
less favorable weather conditions in
part OF the belt. The government re-
port on cotton on Monday Is expected
to show high percentage condition
and an increase in planted area.
Peace between Turkey and the Bal
kan allies is complicated with fresh
quarrels among the allies them selves.
The Japanese question still engages
attention in the financial markets.

BIG DECREASE IN
LOANS SHOWN
New York Clearing House
Operations of Confusing
Nature

New York, May 31.-The Fihancer says
today:
The statement of the New York clear
ing house banks covering five days dura-
tions ending with May 81 was rather con-
fusing in its totals although the changes
noted were only of ordinary moment.
Loans showed decrease of $3.50 900.
There was a falling off in specie and
legals of $1S2,000 while net deposits de-
creased s7396,O0o. On the above showing
the statement did not balance, since there
was very small shrinkage of $780, 300 in
reserve. bringing the surplus above the
rs per cent minimum to $27,2oS, 500.
TT is known from careful estimates
that the banks gained during the week
q s q result of the interior move. but as
frequently happens where a double holi-
day intervenes in the week, the bank
report becomes temporarily of a confus-

KIRK LEAVES
 CANANEA FOR COAST.

James Kirk, who has occupied the position of mine superintendent for the Green-Cananea company practi- cally ever since there was a Cananea, has left the Mexican camp having re- signed his position Mr. Kirk left Tuesday with his family for Califor- mia, where he will reside in the fu- ture, having extensive interests in the coast state.
 MT. Kirk, who was largely respon- sible for bringing the mining opera tions of his company to the high state of efficiency which has marked it, under the management of Dr. L. D. Tickets, recently resigned his posi- tion, being succeeded by George King don of Globe.
 While MT. Kirk will reside on the coast, he is still largely interested in the mining districts of northern So- nora, and will make frequent trips to Arizona and Cananea. The knowledge that even though lost as resident, his well liked personality will not be entirely lost, is pleasing to his many friends.

STATE NE W s
AUDITOR DUBIOUS ON MILEAGE
LEGISLATORS WHO DID NOT RE- TURN HOME MAY LOSE OUT

Whether the legislators who did not return to their homes after the last session will receive mileage for the present session depends upon an opin- ion that Attorney General George Purdy Bullard is expected to forward to Auditor J. C.. Callaghan this af- ternoon
 When the second special session closed a number of the legislators did not return to their homes but re- mained in Phoenix for the opening of the present session. Only six days intervened.
