Special Tribunal Dismisses All Four Suits Against Recently Approved Stump tuary Enactment in Short Verbal Opinion
 LIQUOR FORCES
 MAY APPEAE State, However, Will Be Dry After January l - Court Holds No Evidence Presented Upon Which Injunction Could Grant
ASSOCIATED PRESS pIsPArcHl

LOS ANGELES. Dec. 24-n the face of the decision of a special tribunal of United States judges who declined to issue an injunction to prevent the enforcement of the Arizona prohibition law. there is nothing the liquor dealers can do but shut up shop at midnight next Thursday. According to their attor- neys the decision in effect upheld the validity of the law which is in the form Of a constitutional amend ment. Liquor men can only hold their stocks, said to be worth more than a million dollars, until the su preme court of the United States has opportunity to rule upon their con- tention that the prohibition law con- travenes the fourteenth amendment of the federal constitution. It will be a year or more probably before the supreme court can get around to the case. Arizona no matter what the outcome then. will be dry for at least twelve months. Attorneys representing the vets departed for ! Phoenix. and will prepare papers inn mediatelv for their appeal to the l highest court of the nation.
 There is no intention. according ! to representatives of Arizona off ciaIs to interfere with the use of wine at communion services. Leslie Hardy assistant attorney general of ! Arizona. who addressed the tribunal | in opposition to the petition for in l junction filed on behalf of Rev. Thomas Connolly. a Catholic priest of Tucson. declared that mo court in Arizona would rule that the pro- hibition law forbade the importation of special wines used in established religious ceremOnials."
 As far as liquor men are concerned. those established in the northern and central portions of the state are hit hardest. Those in towns along the southern boundary have already made preparations to move their establish ments across the street into Mexico. where particularly, since the reVo- luton began. there are no regulation of any sort to bind or hinder them.
 As we have denied temporary iniunctiOn' said Judge Ross. ranking iurist. it will be manifestly incon- sfstent for us to grant writ to prevent the enforcement of the law till the supreme court passes on the louestions involved. To grant such

This announcement comes only as final confirmation of something of which the people of this com munity have been assured for the last month. It was only doubtful when the new organization of the Valley Bank would he effected when announcement would be made of it. and when the bank actually would he opened The last named essential information has not been given vet. except in the statement that it will require eight or ten days to complete the new organization. It may. therefore. be believed that the opening will occur soon after the first of the year. The negotiations quietly conducted. leading up to this announcement bring Phoenix to a happy end of the most critical period in it's financial history.
 The Valley Bank failed to open it's doors on the morning of NoVem- her 10th. after disquieting rumors for months concerning its condition, though most of it's nine thousand de- positors were undisturbed, but kept their faith as well as their money in the institution which so long had heen intimately associated with al most every enterprise in the valley The failure to open the bank that November morning was preceded by q series of conferences covering some days. in which the leading bankers of the state. and some from El Paso and Los Angeles participated. 1hese conferences continued until 3:Oo o'clock on the morning of November 10th. with the object of continuing the business of the bank without an interruption. which it was feared would have a most disastrous effect ,1pon the community, inasmuch as denosits in excess of $2, 2,000006 would be held up at time of the year when money would be most needed
 The conference failed and that day q movement was begun by the larger depositors to aid the bank. There was little or no anger or excitement. The main thing was to open the bank. It was at first proposed to leave eighty per cent of the deposits in the bank for at least sixty days. A deDositors' committee was torne1 and practically all depositors who couId be seen, assented to thls ar engagement
 But this plan was soon seen to he impractical and projects for reor- canization were suggested. one O. them. the one which is now to be carried into effect. was for the talk ing over of the Valley Bank pN d strong group of capitalists represent

 RAIN IN ARIZONA
All Rivers Up-South Gov cred With Water, North and Central Buried ill Snow - Waterbank Still Receiving Deposits

Gilas flood. the biggest in the mem ory of the older residents of Phoenix, yesterday assumed proportions con sidered dangerous to the dwellers in the lower valley, according to d state ment made by Section Director Robert R. Briggs of the United States weather bureau. In his warning to the Gila farmers, he said that the river would reach an unprecedented height pre- diction which the days freshet fully bore out.
 Yesterday morning, the Indians, who were encamped along the GiIa below Buckeye emigrated to the hills, pur- sued by the angry waters. In two hours and d half, the river had risen five feet
 A solid bank of water, five feet in height was coming down the Gila above Florence.

 Rain Very Heavy Absolutely without parallel was tht most of the weather observatories 1T ] Central Arizona. Roosevelt reported i three-qIarters of an inch in thret [ hours. It raired to the extent of ?: inch in Phoenix yesterday morning.
 Six inches of snow fell at Flagstaff | Prescott reports heavy snows in the i mountains east and north 1 In the Tucson Douglas Nogale. 1 country torrents of rain were added tt | the lake like stretches of water alread, 1 upon the ground, and many stream! 1 were sent roaring out of their custom ary banks.

 In Phoenix, the condition of tn streets rapidly became worse durin the morning. All the preparation tn city had made to keep the crossing clear was discounted by the frequer dashes of rain, which kept the ooz mud slipping back into the footpath Vehicles were cut down to old wagon and very few autos in the residenC districts, and a few cars on the pave streets. Motorcycles. which haN dropped from popularity these la

Snow VIII Not ouench. Thirst.

The water which win allay our
burning thirst augments it when con
gealed into snow. so that 1t is stated
by explorers of the Arctic regions
that the natives prefer enduring the
utmost extremity of thirst rather than
attempt to remove it by eating snow"
Yet If the snow be melted it becomes
drinkable water. Nevertheless, al
though, If melted before entering the
mouth, it assuages thirst like other
water, when melted in the mouth II
has the opposite effect To render
this paradox more striking, we have
only to remember that ice, which
melts more slowly in the mouth, is
very efficient in allaying thirst.

One hundred years ago, March 6,
the allied army advancing on Paris
was seriously threatened in the rear
by the French peasantry. Long unac
customed to invasion. and exasperated
by the devastation wrought by the
invaders, the peasants gathered into
troops and fnassacred the foreign sol
diery when not in sufficient numbers
to keep them in check This led Ma,
poleon to hope that his diminished
army would be supported by general
rising of the people. But in this he
was disappointed. The people didn't
rise in any considerable number, and

the Methodist church, left with his
family last night for New Haven,
Conn, where he will enter Yale uni
versity to spend several years His
little boy was injured yesterday by a
fall from his bicycle, but not seriously.
Mr.. Walker was completing his third
year as pastor of the church here and
would undoubtedly have been return
ed for another year had he so desired.
1t is doubtful whether the church ever
had more efficient pastor or one
who gave more general satisfaction.
Thoroughly devoted to his calling, he
was earnest in pastoral work and his
sermons were always able and inspir-
ing. Until the conference meets about
six weeks hence, the church will have
no regular pastor but pulpit will be
supplied every Sunday. Rev. ]. N.
