JAN. , NEW DATE SET
 FOR FALTINS HANGING

PHOENIX, Dec. 3.-Pursuant tc the order of the Superior court oi Maricopa county, Sheriff Jeff D Adams this morning produced the body of William Faltin before the court and the death sentence was passed by Judge Stanford.
 The order of the court is that Fal tin be hanged by the neck until he is dead and that the execution shall oc' cur at the State prison on Friday January 7, 1916, at some time between the hours of 10 am. and 4 pm.
 The court room was crowded long before the time set for the imposition of the sentence, and Faltin was the sole object of interest as he sat be- tween Sheriff Adams and Deputy Sheriff Bush. Two other deputies were near the prisoner, as was also a member of the city police force.
 Faltin appeared composed and was chatting freely with the sheriff and the deputies when Judge Stanford en- tered. His imprisonment appears to have agreed with him, as ne has put on considerable weight since his last appearance in a Maricopa court. His face was animated and he seemed to have much to say.
 Judge Stanford asked the formal questions, inquiring if counsel for the State and for the defendant were present. County Attorney Candy and Assistant Attorney Jacobs answered for the State and Attorney General Jones was also present, although ne took no active part in the proceedings.
 Attorney Struckmeyer said that he had represented the defendant nere- tofore, but that his connection with the case had ceased technically, and that, the prisoner being insane and therefore incompetent to choose coun- sel, he did not appear formally for him. Judge Stanford said that, under the circumstances, he would appoint Struckmeyer as attorney, which ap- pointment Struckneyer declined. Jo- seph H. Kibbey. was asked to repre- sent the defendant and did so by en- tering protest against all the pro ceedings heretofore had, now pending or about to be had
 Judge Stanford then called on Fal tin to stand upaand he was led to the front of the desk by Sheriff Adams. Asked if he had anything to say, he preserved a stolid silence and ap- peared not to understand the question. His legs were trembling violently and it was apparent that, behind his cx- pressionless face, brain was work ing that took ill every detail of the scene and every syllable of the judges words.
 The sentence was short, simply that he be returned within ten days to the State prison and there hanged on January 7th.

ADVOCATE REST ROOM
 IN NEW COURT HOUSE
(From saturday's DaiIy.l

4AOlA Sdlui oo1 0dhJJ Advocating a public rest room in the new court house, a letter has been received by Mrs. John s. Merritt from an anonymous woman wao signs herself One From the Coun- try" The many advantages of rest room in the court house for the coun- try woman are told in the letter and the idea is one that merits attention. The letter is as follows:
 Mrs. Merritt.
 Dear Madam:
 Please pardon me, stranger in addressing you. I see you are club woman and with them lies the whole hearted interest to benefit the public and bring success. Since have known of your particular abilities to do things I come to you for I am so i'm pressed with the need of a public rest room in your new court house to be built bye and bye.
 Now is the time to start the idea and get the people interested. With all the ladies who love to come to Prescott we need a place to rest a few minutes after our journey and after our shopping as well. We do need a place to clean up and make ourselves presentable as is possible with whom we may meet during shopping hours To make neat ap- pearance means as much to us as to you who have only few blocks to go.
 Not alone would this give us a welcome to your city but would prove your pride in your city for -up-to- dateness and pride in doing things. It would bring pleasant people to the business houses and not tired moth CTS with tired children to contend with. It proves the interest of the business houses who expect our trade and who should be more interested to help you to secure such place as the business men? With their co-opera- ton and that of several clubs of your town it could be well furnished with rockers, lounges and large table. The churches and different societies should join with you in keeping it supplied with good literature. To be sure the room with lavatories and a toilet room adjoining will be given by the county and the matron in charge and tne janitor raid by the county.
 Such a room is necessity to the public and in ali places of business, has proven a success, learn.
 ''Will you kindly lead out in this matter and see that it is presented to the proper authorities in proper manner. I am too far away to take the matter up successfully and I trust it to you who I feel have always the same interests at heart for good to our fellowman and to do things.
 Yours sincerely,
 "One From the County"

 DUE TO STRIKE HERE
(From Saturdays Dailv)


 That Yavapai county is about to ex- perience real mining boom is prov en by figures secured from the county recorders office. Since the time be- fore the panic ill 1907 never have so many nlining transactions taken place and so many location notices been filed in that office for any one month as during November, 1915, according to County Recorder Colwell.
 The gain for November, 1915, over the same month during last year has been tremendous, 136 location notices having been filed during that period this year compared with but 31 for the same time last year. Receipts for the past month in the recorders of fec have doubled over those of 1914 when they were $243. For the past November $50395 has been collected. Steadily since last spring the locat- ing and relocating of mines has in creased until the first Il months of 1915 exceed the entire year of 1914 by over 265 mining location notices. The present month has started out at the same ratio and 1t is expected that this years total will exceed last years by over 400 mining location notices.
 The following figures speak for themselves:

Porter was taken to the county jail yesterday evening for treatment and Mrs. Porter went oil with the management Of the show IS usual.
 Porter has been taking moderate doses of the drug since giving ID whiskey and has experienced no bad results, but Monday night or early Tuesday morning he took the drug in immoderate quantities, half an ounce he told Dr. T. R. Pratt, who treated him, although that would have caused his death the doctor stated.
 Unconventional.
 Max Tappero, manager of the Park View, On coming from the postoffice at 8 o'clock, saw Porter running about the hotel in his nightshirt and, on re- questing him to resume his room, found him in highly excited and crazed state of mind.
 Manager Tappero sought the aid of Mrs. Porter, but she told him: 'I don't want to see him any more, l am through with him"
 Porter was finally induced to re- sume his room and put to bed, where he stayed until afternoon, when he again started through fine hotel, going into other rooms beside his own in attire. Tsppero ap- pealed to the officers this time and Sheriff Forbes investigated the case, afterwards sending Dr. Pratt, county to treat the unfortunate man.
 Lured by Promised Shot"

It doesn It take such a vivid magma
tion to grasp the generalities Of the
situation which confronts a young
French girl suddenly set down in a
New England village, when the girl
speaks no English and the villagers
speak none but their own language.
But, to grasp the details and to realize
the scores of both pathetic and humor-
Gus adventures that beset the girl be-
fore she finds some one who can under
stand her and who can make her under
stand, one must see the World Film

CALIFORNIA ExPosITIoNs.

In commemoration of the world IS
greatest engineering achievement-the
completion of the Panama Canal-Ly-
man HI. Howe will take spectators at
the Rhode on Tuesday, November 10th,
afternoon at 400, and evening at 8:15
O'Clock, on a film journey through the
locks and lakes Of the great waterway
that now links the Atlantic with the
Pacific and then continue to both
California Expeditions via his inimita-
BILE exhibition.
Every foot of the film covering
this noteworthy feature was photo
graphed by Howe's own camera men
and may be seen only at his own ex-
hibition. Although celebrating the
same event, the two Expositions are en-
tirely different and in order to acquaint
the legion of Howe travellers of the
wonders of each Exposition arrange
ments were made with the Exposition
officials, both at San Francisco and at
San Diego, for special facilities to
insure an absolutely perfect reproduc-
ton commensurate with the scope of
each celebration. The photography is
so marvelously fine even to the mir
rored reflections in lagoons, ETC., that
the officials of the San Diego EXPOSE
ton set aside and observed July 7th as
Lyman III. Howe Day. in recogni-
tion of the skillful, mastery and artis-
tic flmization of scenes destined to live
in the memory Of each spectator as
long as memory itself shall endure. In
the views covering the Exposition at
San Francisco, spectators will ramble
through magic city upon which over
$50, 100000 was lavished. But anyone
seeing them will agreed that money is
the poorest kind of a measure where
such wealth of architecture has been
wrought and of such heroic proportions.
Imagine, if you can, dream city of
domes and towers, arches and great
courts, splendid colonnades and rich
sculptures, all glowing in the sun, and
still the imagination fails entirely in
grasping the true scope and mag
nifcence conveyed in Howe's films.
There viii also be the usual diversity
of other features in the new Lyman H.
