CLEAN STREETS
 AT LITTLE COST
Manager Parish Is Giving ''Squeegee' Machine a Thorough Test and AL ready Believes It Solves One Big Problem.

That the troublesome problem of keeping the paved streets of Phoenix in a presentable condition. without pankrupting the city or suffOcating the citizens in clouds of dust while doing it, has been solved through the tests applied to the Kindling Street Washing machine, commonly called a "Squeegee," by City Manager w. A. Parish. For three or four days one of the machines has been operat- ed upon several of the downtown streets and the results have been en- tirely satisfactory to the city man ager
 Actual tests show that upon a street, 100 feet wide containing ap- intersection to intersection just sev- enteen minutes is required for tht machine to thoroughly wash the pavement and deposit all accumula- tions in the gutter on either side. Usually one load of water is suffi- cient for this work. on this basis d machine run continuously for twenty four hours would clean seventy-two blocks of the widest paved streets in the city. But one man is requir ed to operate the machine which is drawn by a single team of horses Water for the tank is secured from fire hydrants
 As to the expense of upkeep there is but little. The principal wear is upon the revolving rubber scraper This scraper is guaranteed for 400 eight hour days and costs about $100 to replace the rubbers This makes the expense of the scraper twenty five cents per day. Two men are re- quired to sweep the gutters and throw the refuse into the dirt wag Ons provided for the purpose The cost of the machine is said to be about 5000
 It is the belief of Manager Parish that two machines would be found amply adequate for d long time to come in keeping the city streets in a clean condition. It is altogether like ly that that the machine now here will be kept and another ordered in the near future. Unless some unfOre- seen condition arises it is generally believed that the employment of these machines will result in big saving to the city over the present cost of street cleaning operations.

MAJORITY RULE By Geo. B. Wilcox)

In all branches of the republican form of government. from the su- preme court of the United States down to the town meeting, it is the universal law that the majority shall rule.
 The Progressive party was formed for the reason that the Republican party ignored this law in 1912. with the result that the majority of the voters of the Republican party form ed new party along lines that in sures each and every voter an equal opportunity to register his will.
 The Republicans who remained with the old organization are now asking us to come back and take our chances with them once more We say, no, We are the majority and we are satisfied with our new party. we have had experience with both the old and the new parties, and we like the new one the better: but we do not wish to be outdone in courtesy so We say to you good Americans. who are still through party loyalty afil- ., come with us; We know you will enjoy yourselves, and we will give you the same consideration that we grant those who became charter members of the Progressive party.
 We have no quarrel with men who are square and honest, no matter what party or church you have afili- ated with in the past if you have a clean record, both private and public, we shall be delighted to have you come with us Our quarrel is with only a few, comparatively speak ing, of those members of the Repub- lican machine, who in 1912 disgraced themselves and the party they de- stroyed
 Do not wait for us to come back for We are not going in that direc- ton. Forward. is our motto; come join us, it will do you good

TWAS BY ACCIDENT
 HE BECAME A THIEF
Hutchinson Tells How He Was Led
 to Steal the Braxtan Diamonds

Ernest Hutchinson. colored. alias Ernest Stewart. alias Ross Williams. told Justice Johnstone yesterday that it was by circumstance and acciednt that he had become thief Hutch inson is the man who entered the house of Dr BraXtan couple of weeks ago and stole $500 worth of diamonds. Hutchinson said that when he started out that day crime was remotest from his thoughts He was out of money and was hunting for work. He was making a house to house canvass and in the course of the day his inquiry brought him to the house of Dr. BraXtan
 He went to the front door which was standing open and knocked. He knocked again and again until he was convinced that there was no one about the house. To that time his honest eyes had not detected hand bag hanging in the hallway But then he saw it and it struck him that it was worth investigating He entered the open door and taking the bag down he opened it and found a purse containing thirty-fiv cents two stckpins and a ring Having ap propriated the contents of the purse he ceased his investigation of the in- dustrial situation in Phoenix.
 It was some days later before he dared offer any of his booty for sale and then he took the least valuable article, the ring, to the New State Loan Office where he secured 8. A few days later he sold one of the stickpins at F'riedmans for $25. All these transactions had been enter ed upon with some trepidation but he went the third and fatal time he as nothing resulted but money, when was filled with confidence He got $50 for the last stickpin but unfor- tunately w J. Nottingham was a by stander and unfortunately also for Hutchinson Mir Nottingham was a reader of The Republican and thought of pr. BraXtan's ad when he saw Hutchinson bartering the pin for a small part of it's real value.
 Of the $110 which Hutchinson re ceived for the jewelry he had d little more than $70 when he was arrested. He had been dispensing his wealth like d prince for it was only few minutes after the last sale in which he realized $S0 before he was taken into custody.

 Without doubt. you beat them" writes Crossman. Never in our shooting Los Angeles) against them, have they made the 500 mark. In fact, the 500 mark is rarely touched" :"
 The Phoenix total was sos. in which Secretary Gulley contributed the biggest share-or 142. He beat the Los Angeles high man by one point.
 MT Crossman continued: "Evi- dently, the Phoenix club is as strong as We suspected, and I foresee a pretty race between us for first place. l hardly think the north will develop anything in the way of a dark horse team, but one can never tell"

MODELLING AN OLD FR0CK IN
 ACCORD WITH FASHIONS RULING

NEW YORK, Dec. Especial to the Yuma Daily Examiner-The style of twenty years ago seem to hold a strong place in the minds of the peo- pie this year, the one-piece frock and the separate, so-called 'top-coat' be; ing particular offsprings of the clothes of that day. >~
 A practical innovation is this mode of dressing, which has taken the place of the suit in many cases. The dress may be ssdressy, enough to wear to many things where a suit would be out of place and the top-coat, if care is taken in its selection, may be worn
 for evening as well as daytime.
 The. coat of the season is cut in a variety of ways, each of which has some 1particular style feature to make it practical or smart. One is cut much. like the last winters raglan coat, merely belted a little closer to the figure so that the curve of the waist may be more in evidence. Or this same coat may have tiny round yoke with collar and the full godet nipples pressed into pleats, which open out at every movement of the figure.
 Another. type of coat is that which is semi-tight fitting at the shoulders and flares widely at the bottom, in the shape of a Cossack coat. Another is distinctly of the Russian peasant style, buttoning at the side and belt ed with a wide belt. Around the bot tom of the skirt portion is a wide band of fur, also at. wrists and around the neck The heavy richness of this trimming. is most effective.
 @ Another coat is cut with the upper portion like sacque, having straight lines under the arms and dropping down considerably in the back. A flaring tunic is attached to this lower edge, cut in circular piece so that it stands away from the figure almost, as though it were either heavily cord ed or wired. Rows of soutache trim the front and around the hips and the hem. Large buttons are used down the. front. The skirt is very plain and rather marrow.

CAPITALISTS PLAN ID |RR|GkIE
 TWENTY THOUSAND ACRES

They are represented by s. H. Wood ruff. Los Angeles capitalist. who has been successful with many large enterprises. and who Is, enthusiastic over the prospects of the Palomas pro ject.
 Following completion Of the engt neering investigation by the promoters of the enterprise, and the submission to the state land commission not only of the detailed maps and Dians set ting forth the physical features of the project, but also the charges, terms and assessemnts to be imposed upon water users, the commission will make a similar investigation for the pur' pose of satisfying itself of the pro- ject's feasibility" said Chairman Mul- ford Winsor, of the land commission yesterday. "Following the commits sion's approvel application will be made for permanent segregation Of the land included within what is at pre- sent merely 8 temporary withdrawal to permit the examinations referred to. The bonds of the project. secured by the land coming under 1t. will then be sold by the commission. contract let for the construction of the works. an dthe lands disposed of to settlers on the easy terms permitted under the Carey act.''
 Accodring to Mir. Winsor there are several splendid opportunities for ir' rigation enterprises on both sides of the Gila river from Western Mari. copa county to the Colorado. which will eventually be realized.

That Arizona's first withdrawal of public lands under the so-called Carey act bids fair to result in the addition of 10000 acres to the irrigated areas of the state has been made known with the announcement of plans for reclamation by a group of California and eastern capitalists. The land withdrawr consists of bottom and mesa land on the south side of the Gila river. near Palomas, Yuma coun' ty.
 The development of the great un' derground water supply carried by the Gila by a series of connected pits. extendingf across the river channel, and the installation of huge pumps for raising some of the surface arc included ih the plans for the new pro- 3ect. With 8 steady supply of water once secured from the underflow 't the river, delivery of the water to the land to be irrigated is considered a comparatively simple problem in engineering. Palomas is twelve miles west of Agua Caliente, eight miles north of Aztec on the Southern PaC' fife.
 The men behind the project are prepared to carry the work to com pletion, following a detailed engineer ing investigation, as required by the regulations of the state land commis sion, which has charge of all Carey act projects in the state. and the de partment of the interior. which must finally approve the project before title to the lands can pass.

Proper Respect for Law is the Basis of Good Government

time-or, in relays, as may suit his fancy. If Arizona is to have a Roman holiday for the legal killing of so many murderers, the censure falls on him alone.
 If hanging has a bad ef- feet on the prisoners at the pen, as is claimed, then why not take the bunch (who have long since forfeited any right to live and would for felt that right again if given a chance) out behind the prison walls and shoot them :? If it is not according to the letter of the law to shoot the murderers, surely, our gov- ernor, who can suspend the laws at will, can find a way, providing he wishes to.
 Certainly the Arizona pub lie will approve of a quiet and orderly shooting bee. It is quite unnecessary to sug- gest to the governor that the murderers themselves would prefer to be shot than to be slowly strangled to death, as per time honored custom.
 Let's enforce the laws as we find them, governor, and then perhaps the people will be more enthusiastic about changing some of them.
Arizona sentinel and Yuma weekly examiner., 1914-12-03


 Governor Hunt continues to scold the people for daring to pass laws that do not meet with his approval, and for failing to approve of laws he wished passed most notable of which is the proposed law to abolish capital punish7 ment.
 The governor finds a weak defense of his position by saying that certain able and responsible big business men defeated his pet measure.
 The governor evidently forgets that if such were true, these men had the pow CT to defeat him for re-elee- ton. y.
 Isn't it about time that Governor Hunt enforces the laws of the people as he finds them?
 There is nothing that causes a disrespect for law so much as it's non-enforce- ment. Else why do we elect officers, if it isn't; to enforce the laws?
 The proper respect for law is the basis of all good gov ernment. Governor Hunt is alone responsible for having l7 murderers to hang at one
