TRIZONA PROHIBITION
IN EFFECT PANUARY

Los Angeles, Calf. Dec. 24.-The
Arizona prohibition law will go into
effect January l. The special Unit
ed States tribunal from which in
functions were sought to prevent its
enforcement. refused to issue such
injunctions, in brief decision rem
dered today. Appeal to the United
States Supreme court will he taken at
once.
Immediately after TIE decision was
rendered attorneys for Rev. Thomas
VI. -Conn nol,vrsa Ca'Ef'c ep-iss, c!
Tucson and Tor other petitioners,
made a motion to stay the execution
of the law, pending the outcome of
the appeal to the United States su-
preme court This motion was de-
MED. thus clearing the way for the
law to become effective on the date
set. January 1.
The decision contained less than a
dozen sentences. 1t read
We have listened to the able ar
guments in this case with care and
attention and would like to review
and discuss them fully but time will
not permit In cases like this, where
a court is asked to interfere with a
state, the evidence should be clear
and convincing. This was not the
case in the present instance and the
injunctions prayed for are therefore
in each and every case denied"
There We're four applications for
injunction. One was filed by Rev.
Mr.. Connolly, who alleged that the
prohibition law infringed upon con-
stitutional rights, in that it would
prohibit the Importation of wine for
sacramental purposes. The others
were filed by druggists and liquor
dealers. who held that the law was
confiscatory.
In defense of the law representa-
tives of the state declared that no
court could rule that it would inter-
fere with the use Of wine in estab
lished religiuos ceremonies.

Tucson early today confirmed reports
that two Mexicans had bee drowned
in the Santa Cruz river at Sahuarita.
The militiamen said it had been re-

stated that further rain during the
night threatened to increase property

The sensation which the assassina-
ton of the Due de Berry created not
only in Paris in 1920, but throughout
France and Europe, was enormous,
saws the Detroit Free Press. All par
ties equally condemned and lamented
the crime.
The wherefore of the crime of Jean
Pierre LouVel has never been forth
coming. The political situation in
France after the overthrow of Ma
poleon and the restoration of the
Bourbons was precarious. King Louis
XVII. lacked force of character and,
moreover, his long life in exile mao
but poorly qualified him for the sud
denly imposed tasks.
The French chambers were entirely
under the control of the extreme
royalists. But liberal and patriotic
measures followed one another IN
quick succession, and everything in
dictated a return of speedy prosperity,
when the assassination of the Due de
berry the hope of the Bourbon dy-
NASTY. crushed the hopes of the pa
triotic and reinstated the extremists
In poWer. De Berry was a nephew OF
the king and was born in IT'S and had
nas.ed his youth and early manhood
in exile.
The king allowed his nephew to
have full sway, and the prominence
| thus given to the due is the reason
why he was singled out as the victim
of assassination. With him out oil
the way. it was argued, the eldel
branch of the dynasty would die out
entirely.

zone of the reasons for the great
success of Charles \. Dana as an
editor was his ability instantly to de-
eide upon a mooted point I had two
Illustrations of that almost I'M
matched capacity for instant decision
while I was associated with Mr.. Dana
as chief of staff in the management
of the New York Sun.
This statement was made to me
by the late John Swinton, who for
some fifteen years represented Mr..
Dana. in the office Of the Sun at such
times as the chief was absent, prin-
cipally at night
For Mr. Swinton, Charles A. Dana
had great liking and appreciation. He
loved to chat for half hour with the
brilliant and yet eccentric scotsman.
Som etimes they disagreed but 1T was
usually a disagreement that was en-
tirely upon the surface, for Mr.. Dana
was fond of drawing Uncle John-as
he always called Mr.. Swinton-out.
81 never knew Mr.. Dana to hesitate
when a matter was brought before
him for his decision" said Mr.. Swim
ton. His answer was. always deliv-
cred upon the instant and was the
categorical yes or no.
81 remember one occasion when Mr..
Dana asked me to summon one OF the
staff who was in New England look
ing up a newspaper story which Mr.,
Dana had asked him to investigate.
| Some emergency had occurred;
think a resignation whereby one OF
the executives whose responsibilities
in the Sun office had suddenly ceased
Mr.. Dana asked me to telegraph to
the young man instructing him to re-
turn so as to meet the chief not later
than the afternoon Of the next day.
1.-THE young man came at the ap-
pointed hour and went in with me
to Mr.. Dana's office. The chief was
at that moment putting his desk into
the perfect order in which he always
left it when his days work was done.
He greeted the young man cordially
after I had said to him, This is the
reporter you asked me to send for
Mr.. Dana did not know the young
man by sight, although he had beer
a great admirer of his work. He
was brief, saying to the young mar
that he wanted him to take charge

of Napoleon. Because of Napoleon's
dethronement he wanted revenge on
the Bourbons. Bouvel was a saddler.
He finally found employment in the
Versailles stables, and whenever the
Due De Berry was out hunting he
tried to find an opportunity to get
near him. After long and patient
waiting he finally found his oppor-
tunity. 1t was during the last days
of the carnival preceding the season
of Lent, in February, 1920. The grand
masquerade ball was to take place on
the 18th, and it was a matter of abso
lutte certainty that both the due and
the duchess would attend 1t.
During the evening the duchess be-
came i'll and as the due was showing
her to her carriage Louvel stabbed
him.
In a session of the chamber one of
the deputies went even so far as to
move the impeachment of M. Decazes
minister of the interior, as an Access
sorry to the crime committed by Lou
vel. The entire Royalist press, how
ever, insisted on the dismissal of De-
cazes and the king reluctantly yielded.
IIouvel was tried before the cham
Der of peers. He pleaded guilty. He
denied having any accemplices. He
had conferred with nobody. He rec
oenized the dagger as his own; he
gave his hatred and adherence of the
Bourbon family as his only motive for
the crime. He was convicted unani-
mously. He expressed no regret for
what he had done. and died with total
Indifference. He was guillotined June

In the dome of the Capitol at
Washington there are eight great
paintings-carefully designed and ex-
ecuted by the artists for the adorn-
ment of the nations greatest build
ing, says the Kansas City Star. Yet
five of them are either defective in
technique, or in error as to natural or
historical facts.
One of the best-known pictures is
that in which Washington is shown
resigning his commission to the Con-
tinental Congress. There are two
young girls, almost life-size, stand
ing in the foreground. They are very
pretty young girls, but one of them
has three hands! One left hand rests
on the shoulder of her companion.
Another left hand is round her COM
panion's waist. Doubtless the artist,
Trumbull, painted both hands to see
which pose he preferred, and then for
got to paint out the superfiuous hand.
Diagonally across the rotunda is
the painting of the Baptism of Po-
cahontas" Sitting in the foreground
is Opecancanough, the uncle of Po-
cahontas. He is barefooted, and the

How He Learned English.

Wing See some years ago came to
New York from San Francisco to see
the big city before returning to his
native land, where he hoped to live
on the money which he had saved.
He wanted to learn a little English
and rented room on the east side
over a store. He was a quiet man or
good habits and soon made himself
useful in the store, where he gave
his time in exchange for the language
experience. After six months he was
ready to go to China, and after all
arrangements for his trip had been
made he went to Chinatown to show
his English. He was surprised to
find that his English speaking coun-
trymen did not understand him, and
finally learned to his horror that he
had lived in a German district and
had learned German by mistake

A Dual Observatory.

The Royal Observatory of Belgium,
at Uccle, near Brussels, has been di-
vided into two distinct establish
ments; one devoted to astronomy. to-
gether with astrophysics. geodesy,
gravity and seismology; the other to
meteorology along with climatology,
terrestrial magnetism and atmo-
spheric electricity. The former will
be known as the Royal Observatory
of Belgium, the latter as the Royal
Meteorological Institute of Belgium
The effect of this new arrangement is
to give the national meteorological
service of Belgium an independent
status, whereas 1t was formerly
merely an appendage of an astronomi-
cal observatory.
