ALL READY FOR THE
WHOLESALE HANGING
(From SrnGay's Daily.l


Sheriff c. c. Keeler arrived home
yesterday from his trip to the peni-
Tertiary at Florence with Joe Woods
and Deputy Frank Wilson, who took
a Slovenian to the insane asylum
at Phoenix, is expected to return
today.
Mr.. Keeler said that everything
was in readiness at the state prison
for the execution OF the eleven con-
demned men on December. 10Th, al
though it is his opinion that Cover
nor Hunt will either reprieve some
of them or take steps to re-fix
the date OF execution at different
periods OF time He said that the
condemned men were all in the
death cells of the prison and the
death watch was on duty There is
but one gallows in the prison and
it is the purpose to hang one man
at time if they are all to be ''ush-
cred out" on the same day. This
means that it will take the warden
and his helpers about three hours
and forty minutes to complete the
job, allowing twenty minutes to the
man. 1t is necessary, under the law
to go through a prescribed formula
in each instance. Each man must
be given an opportunity on the gal
lows to say what he may choose.
and after the trap drops each must
be declared dead by an attending
physician. 1t has been ascertained
that it takes from eight to fifteen
minutes for the pulse OF a man exc
cuted by hanging to cease beating.
The only reason why there are
so many hangings on the same day
is because Governor Hunt himself
fixed the date in that manner. The
men were all sentenced to hang at
different times, long before this, and
the governor reprieved them. setting
the date of each on December l9.

$3.50, 900 TAXES DUE
WITHIN TWO WEEKS
(From Sundays Daily


According to a statement made
yesterday by Deputy County Treas
urer P. ]. Koehane, the payment OF
taxes thus far this year has not been
any less than usual, although, if
all the taxes due are paid before
December l4th, the date when they
become delinquent, something over
three hundred and fifty thousand
dollars must be paid in during the
next two weeks. This seems large,
but of the amount the United Verde
alone will pay nearly two hundred
thousand After the delinquent date
has passed a penalty of four per
cent is added at once on all delin-
quencies, together with interest OF
one per cent per month as long as
they remain delinquent.
Deputy Koehane and his assist
ant, E. A. McSwiggen, yesterday
finished making out the tax receipts
which has been a very strenuous
job. Each receipt must contain an
itemized list of all personal prop
erty and description of all real es
tate assessed, and on many receipts
this is big task. Then these re-
ceipts must be made out in tripli-
cate, meaning a total of 7,400 re
ceipts, there being $500 original
receipts. These receipts are sup
posed to be ready in advance, so
when a taxpayer calls to make his
little donation for the right to exist
and own property on this mundane
sphere, the collector can bring forth
the receipt about as quickly as the
taxpayer can produce the "mazuma."

HOMES FATE IN THE
HANDS OF ATTORNEY GEN

supplementary TO statement
made to a Journal-Mincr reporter
Friday that the fate OF the Pioneers
Home depended on the action OF the
courts, c. X. Osburn. citizen mem
Der OF the Arizona board of con-
troll. said yesterday that he should
have said the board would take the
matter up with the attorney general
as TO whether the institution came
under the provisions OF the social
ed mothers pension law, and abide
by his decision. This action will
be necessary he said, before the
board can act with reference to the
application of the Parsons bequest
OF forty thousand dollars for the
purpose OF adding a women's de-
partment and increasing the capacity
OF the institution.
As Attorney General Billiards
time expires December 81, Mr.. Os-
burn stated that it is hardly like
ly Billiard would venture TO render
decision on the subject This
means that the matter will probably
be referred to Attorney General
elect. Wiley L. Jones Mr. Osburn
said it would be the purpose OF the
board to have a decision rendered
at the earliest possible moment,
and if it is to the effect that the
home Is an aims house it will be
necessary to sell the property and
discontinue the existence OF the in
stitution. Otherwise the proposed
addition will be constructed as soon
as possible.
The plans OF w. 5. Elliott have
already been accepted for the ad-
dition.

SALOONS WANT MORE
TIME TO CLOSE

PHOENIX, Nov 2S-Petitions
asking the legislature to give the
saloons of Arizona a reasonable
time" to close out and prepare to
close their doors for good, have
been placed in circulation through
out the state by the liquor interests.
1t is assumed by the circulators
of the petition that the statewide
prohibition amendment approved by
the voters November 3, is not self
operative, that it will not go into
effect January l. One section of the
amendment says it shall become eff
fective January lst; another says the
legislature shall enact a suitable law
carrying the amendment into eff
feet. The saloon men are making
preparations to fight in the courts
any attempt to enforce the amend
ment before the legislature does
place a prohibition law on the
statute books. They point out that
even if the amendment is self-oper-
alive there is no provision for the
punishment of violators until the
legislators do take some action.
Following is the petition being
circulated with a view OF influence
ing the legislature:
we, the undersigned qualified
voters OF the state of Arizona,con-
scious of the many unusual burdens
which by reason OF the European
war fall heavily upon the people
of Arizona, and impressed by the
fact that forced settlement OF any
large business interests in Arizona
at the present time would naturally
add to the hardships, uncertainties
and even ruin OF persons in no
way directly connected with the
liquor business, urge upon your con-
sideration the fact that at the last
election a constitutional amendment
was passed, absolutely prohibiting
the sale. manufacture or importation
of intoXicationg liquors; that during
all the years OF Arizona the bust
ness OF selling Intoxicating liquors
has been licensed, that at the pres
ent time large amounts OF money
are invested in this business; that
much OF the money is borrowed
from persons not so engaged; that
a large amount OF commercial credit
has been extended to the liquor
interests which must be repaid or
loss occur to business men general
ly; that hundreds of leases are in
existence and unexpircd and the
rent thereon must be paid or time
given to secure new tenants
That the incoming legislature
must enact laws TO carry the amend
ment into effect, that square deal
to the people OF Arizona requires
fair legislation at your hands TO
give effect to the amendment, and a
reasonable notice and time for all
who have their money invested di-
rectly and indirectly in the liquor
traffic to settle and adjust their al
fairs.
Wherefore, we do earnestly pc
tition that you enact legislation for
the enforcement OF this amendment
which will exercise the will of the
people as expressed in this amend
ment and at the same time provide
with dciiniteness and certainty a
reasonable time within which bust
ness matters involved may be ad-
justed without loss and ruin to those
interested directly and indirectly in
a formerly legitimate business"
Ii is claimed that the petitions
are being signed freely by prohi-
bitionists and anti-prohiJitionists
alike.
