THE HONGkoNG UNIVERSITY

The HOngkong University, which is now in full working order, has over seventy undergraduates in residence, many more than the most Sanguine of its sponsors anticipated, and the uni versity starts off it's career under most encouraging circumstances. Of the students enrolled there are a number transferred from the College of Medi- cine-students who may be regarded as doing second. third or fourth year work. The majority in the firStyear students have elected to be trained in engineering science and in fact one half of the total number matriculated, including the number entering from the College of Medicine, are students in the technical studies. It was the chief object of the founders of the uni versity to train Chinese along technical lines to graduate men as engineers for WaterWOrkS, for the development of mines and the extension of railways in China There are already demands for hundreds of technically trained Chi nese which at present cannot be met and for years to come the graduates of the Hongkong University will have exceptional opportunities for lucrative and brilliant careers in their own cOun- try.-C0nSular Report.

HOUSE FAILS TO PASS
 LAND COMMISSION BILL
Because Of lateness of Date Whcr Bill Is Sent Over From Senate
 House Eains

What will the house do with the land commission? This question is now enc of the most talked about in the halls of the state house On Friday the senate passed q bill au- thorizing the continuance of the com mission. THhis question is now one of the most talked about in the halls Of the state house. on Friday the senate passed d bill authorizing the continuance of the commission as present constituted for two more years. the action being taken so that the work of tke commission can be carried on without let up. It was hoped the house would pass the bill under the suspension of the rules, but yesterday when the sus- pension of the rules was made it couldn't be forced beyond second reading
 l. how transpres that the house doesn't at all like the way the senate has in this bill in keeping the mea- sure until the last minute before passing ii. and then shooting it across the corridor to the house on the very daE the land commission by statute terminates. For this req son as much us ever the bill failed to pass tho whole three readings yesterday and was laid over until Monday for final action.
 Ii is also rumored that the house objects to several things about the bill one of these it is understood is the provision that makes the land commissioner elective. Another is the one that provides that he must he elected at the general election in 1914 This provision was put in it is claimed to meet the objection of the house Now the bill has been derstod the house objects on ac- count of that provision. It is claim ed that it clouds the issue
 The land commission terminated by statute last night whether or not the office will open on Monday morning is oulandary It is not expected however that on account of the ob- iections of some tO the persOnel of the commission that the money necessary to carry the work on to completion will be withheld but that the greatest of the states assets may be obtained without more de- Iay that the foundation well laid may be built on. Many believe the continuation of the work will be provided for

 Civil Code.

A small mite of twenty eight bills represented the work done by the senate of the state of Arizona yes terday This work largely routine was not accomplished however with out a great deal of labor by the sen ators It comprised the reading Of a large number of bills in the cCm- mittee of the whole, presided over by Senator Breen of COconino, which will be all portion of the code when t,ie bOGV of the statutes shall have been finished, nearly all of the bills read and sent through the committee on the regular being sub-t titles of DOT tions of the work of the joint com mittee on the revision of the code.

K. ]. BROWN AND BUD
 HENDERSON GET BRAW
See Saw Battle Is Divided By Pop uiar Decision, Though Knock out Has Bud About in
 Twentieth
ASSOCIATED PRESS DISPATCHl

LOS ANGELES, March 15.--lu one of the fiercest lightweight fights eyer seen in the Vernon Aren2 here. Bul Anderson of Vancouver and Knock out Brown of New York City bat tied twenty rounds to a draw before large crowd of afternoon fans. Both the boys took terrific punish ing. In the final space. the New Yorker had his western opponent in practically the same condition.
 only the last bell intervening as the fighters sWaved about the ring one delivering and the other feebly trying to block close ja6s and long wild swings, saved the Canadian visitor from a knokout finish The fact that Brown was damned about the ring in the carly part of the h0nt was thought by some due e the fact that he was stalling and saving every ounce of his strength for a finish which has come so often in the same way that he has been christened Knockout" But it was not a stall that kept the New York lad from showing in the first half of the bout; he simply couldn't gc' to his swiftcr opponent, who slam med over the punches and danced out of the way tantalizinEly The long grind of chasing Brown and swinging on his jaw seemed finally to weary Bud and the e2stcrncr Wh" had fostered some of his strength put it behind a few well directed punches and let Anderson have r hot and heavy for q few thrillire circles As the fight progressed Bud seemed to weaken and his pursu"r tc gain strength until finally it was a clean case of few more minute and Bud would have been done for by the swift scientific method ti'at has won kaYo's name.
 The draw was a popular decision as well as that of the referee A'- though Brown had his man nrarlN at the one-tWo three stage when the gong changed its last. Bud was enough better in the first twelve spaces to warrant his getting part of the honors.

 Are Different.

PEORIA. March f5-lIiss Jannctte Fullerton who acts lin stock told to- day the Illinois vice commission about life on the stage here Women em- ployes of two shows playing here were subpo@naed. but there was time to hear only Miss Fullerton. She gave the average minimum wage of chorus girls as sixteen dollars Those who read lines she said, rarely received less than $25 q week.
 Reading lines" she explained means speaking parts. The average salary of actors and the classes read ing lines" runs from $35 to $70 a week she said. There are stars who receive salaries running into the hundreds and thousands
 Chairman O'Hara has asked great many women since the commission was instituted whether they were driven to the downward path by low wages. He asked Miss Fullerton whether wo- men were ever driven to the stage be cause of the inadequate pay they re- ceived in other branches of endeavor.
 "Oh, no. most of the girls go to the stage because they are ambitious she

LAND COMMISSION
 FILES ON M0RE LAND
Twenty-Five Thousand Acres in Co.,
 chise Added 10 Increasing Totals

Twenty-Five thousand more acres Of pubic land situated largely within the Boundaries ot Cochise county were selected yesterday by the state land commission as d part of the pa trimony of the state granted iH the national government at the time of the admission of Arizona into the sisterhood of states The totals of the seiections are creeping up with great rapi0ity, The commission is working rapidly and to great effect.
 \ large amount of this land will be made into school and university land. some of it is subject to irri- gation and some may in the fu ture De put under irrigation pro- jects and have tC depend upon these projects for water. Of this mat ter, that is the matter of water delivered to school lands, the report of the land commission has the fol lowing to say:
 There should be law authoriz- ing the state to purchase water rights for agricultural school lands coming under any irrigation project which may be hereafter consummat- cd and requiring individuals corpor- ations or associations appropriating flood waters or the water of streams to sell to the state water rights for such school lands as may lie within the boundaries of the area. to be re claimed by such project Without some such provision many sections of school lands, that with the appli- cation of water would become eX- Ceedingly valuable will for all time be rendered worthless. by the ap- propration and application of all the available water on surrounding lands held under private ownership or sus- Ceptible of being acquired from the government.
 As an instance of this sort, the Lyman irrigation enterprise in Apache county may be cited. Ap- rroXimately 15.oO0 acres of land are being reclaimed by this project which takes it's water from a reser- Vor in the Little Colorado river near St. Johns. Much more than 15.O00 acres of land could be irrigated if there were q sufficient supply of Wa ter, but there isn't Consequently the water rights in the project, sold to private parties, are exhausted on lands held in private ownership while the school sections, being as fertile and as adaptable in every way to the purposes of the agricu turalist as the lands completely sur rounding them, must lie idle and practically worthless. Had there been authority for the purchase by the state of water rights for these school lands, and q requirement that the company should sell the same to the state. the states lands would have been made valuable and the company would in no wise have been injured. since the state would have paid for the water rights it's fair proportion of the cost of construct ing the enterprise, with a just profit for the owners

JOy RIDE HAS
 |TSOWN REWARD
Jeff Adams Rolls South ward in Automob bile,
 Captures Bootlegger at Midnight and Then Finds Moldy Roll of Greenbacks

Jeff Adams. sheriff of Maricopa county went joy riding last evening in an automobile. Besides the chif- fonier there were two others in the big machine that rolled into the Va quf country nine miles below Tem- Te, making with Jeff an exceptional ly pleasing quartet. Billy Woolf and Theodore DIea were Jocrs com panions. And they had d mutual missions.
 Upon the return trip there Wa, d new passenger in the car He regis tered at the Hotel Jeff De Adams as Antonio Acosta and gave his age as sixty years. Mr. Acosta is o Yaqui and he so,d Messrs. Wcolf and Olea some perfectly good Whis- key about the time that the big au- tomObile drove up to his lone cs- tablishment in the. Wilds of Yaqui- land. It was so good that Jeff de- cided it would be shame to leave the remaining six gallons way down there and brought it along in the machine. And after the sale had been consumatcd it occurred to the officers that the reports that had been commanding from that district were well founded and that Acosta was the bootlegger for which they had been looking for sometime
 Acosta seemed to enjoy the ride back to the county jail. It was d lovely evening and the machine was running perfectly. But when the process of searching the aged Yaqui began. the fight that ensued would have been credit to the best stars of the pusilistic ring.
 In every seam and crevice of his tattered garments Acosta had some money stored away. A twenty dol lar bill was found seWed in his sleeve Another was wrapped in a Lit of worn paper and reposed ir the lining. Other bits of paper mon ey were found in the most unsus- pected places. When the search was concluded the sum total of the find amounted to exactly $250 Some ol the money appeaed to be of the win tage of before the war. It was $, worn and creased that it was hardly recognizable as Uncle Sam's green backs
 Acosta seemed to regard the off cers as highwaymen and thought il was probably all eff with his life time savings He cried like a chiic when his money was placed in ar envelope and rlaced in safe place
 For weeks reports have been com ing to the office of the sheriff thai Whiskey was being sold down in the Yaqui country and that suspicion was falling on AcOsta. Yaqui em- plOyes of the ranchers down in thar section frequently became drunk ir broad daylight and in country miles away from a saloon. Acosti was glad to accomodate the trio tha rapped at his door after dark las evening and told a story of havin. lost their way ard being nearly dead for a drink. He made sure tha the price for the bottle of whiskey was forthcoming before he admitted that he could supply the desired Ii quOr. And then he had the first au tomoble ride of his life. He said a midnight as he went to his eel that the ride was worth something anyhow.
