LEGISLATORS ARE
 STRONG ON THE DRY

PHOENIX, Jan. 5.-Sentiment in the house is in favor of the passage of drastic prohibition bill, such as the measure introduced today by MT. Powers of Maricopa county. The bill is almost identical with the one that is supposed to have been drawn by the officials of the Arizona Temperance federation. The bill was introduced in the senate by Drachman of Pima. It is expected that there will be fight on this bill in the senate.
 By one of it's provisions, the gov ernor must call out the the militia to enforce the law if asked to do so by any county attorney. Exceptions are made in favor of the importing of wine for sacramental purposes and ten gallons or less of grain alcohol at a time by druggists for use in the compounding of prescriptions.
 It defines the duties of common car riers. Spirituous liquor is defined to be any liquor containing as much as one-half of one per cent of alcohol. The second offense is made felony.
 After a heated debate on the invita- ton of the Phoenix board of trade to line Monday night at the Adams hotel, the house decided to accept. Cook Of Cochise protested that it was incon- sistent in view of the refusal of the in ritations from Tucson and the state asylum.
 A clash has occurred between the house and the senate on the matter of a postmaster. The house appoint nents, under joint resolution of Breck- enridge of Pima as postmaster and NJ. J. Sullivan as assistant, are oppos d by the senate, which wants to name the assistant.
 The Graham county bootleg cases which heretofore have been taken from SolomonvilIe and Stafford on change of venue to the Gila county court, will hereafter be tried where the crime is committed, if the bill introduced by Senator Cleridge of Graham passes the egiSlature.
 Senator Drachman of Pima introduc- 9d an emergency law which proposes to permit the return of liquor dealers lhe proportion of their license money unused since January l.
 Martin of Pima would make Satur- lay afternoon a half holiday for all county officers.
 Gov. Hunt Wednesday approved and transmitted to proper authorities at Tuma that citys recently adopted city charter.

RECALL THE FALL OF
 FIT. FISHER, JAN 15, '65

WILMINGTON, N. C., Jan. b. Special to the Yuma Daily Examiner The older residents of Wilmington re called today as the fiftieth anniver- sarv of the fall of Fort Fisher, which guarded the entrance to Wilmington harbor during the Civil War. At the beginning of the year 1863 Fort Flsher was the principal stronghold still m Confederate hands, and it had been for a long time a cause of anxiety and worry to the Northern authorities.
 For several months the Federals had maintained an almost continuous siege of the fort, but the powerful works defied every effort to capture It. Tn the late autumn the fleet of Admli al Porter and a land force under Gen. B. Butler had made an unsuccessful effort to reduce the stronghold On Christmas Eve the Federals began an other vigorous bombardment of the fort. A week or so later a second military expedition, under General Terry. was sent down from Hampton Roads to aid the fleet in taking the fort.
 On January IA, the heavy lombard ment began agaIn, anu dSdlu Illo Hl''nS troops were landed. By night every gun on the face of the fort was dis abled, but the stronghold still held out. The next morning it was decided to storm the works. The sailors and marines were landed in front of the fort and the land forces made an at tack from the rear. After hours of the hardest kind of fighting and heavy losses on both sides, the fort was fin ally captured. The fall of Fort Fisher parctically ended the naval operations of the war.

SOCIALISTS TO WORK
 STRONG FOR PEACE

COPENHAGEN, Jan. 15-Special to the Yuma Daily EXaminer-SOclallsts from many counties are arriving to take part in the international confer ence about to assemble here to take up the question of agitating for meas ures to prevent war and to discuss the causes of the present war and the prospects of ending it. Although the Socialist party in America took the in itiative in calling the conference, the leaders of the party in that country have found it impracticable under ex isting conditions to come to Copen hagen to take part in the deliberations Spain, Portugal, Sweden, Norway and several other countries have sent dele gates. One of the principal subjects of discussion will be the attitude ol Socialists in the countries which are at war in holding that they are justi- fled in fighting for their respective countries.
