ON ID MAKE THE
 NATION DRY

PHOENIX, Feb. 15.-A. R. Buck nam of Chicago, who conducted the prohibition campaign in Cochise county, is in the city preparing to make tour of the state in the inter est of national prohibition He was the organizer last spring of the fam ous Political Victory" clubs which dotted Cochise county for the study by women of all the matters which would be brought before them at the election and especially the prohibit ton amendment.
 Of his present work, having been appointed field secretary by the pro- hibition committee with headquarters in this city, MT. Bucknam says:
 The big thing now in regard to prohibition is to secure 5y000000 en- rolled voters who want national pro hibition. The movement was started 25 months ago last Saturday in the city of Indianapolis, Ind, and it has reached this point Five hundred thousand have been enrolled and the story has been told in every state in the union by able speakers. We now have fund of $26O,OOO to push the matter. Just now we are enrolling 5000 college boys each to secure 1666 votes during the summer months which will make 5,0000OO in all.
 Twenty-Five thousand are to be enrolled in Arizona, and Cochise county has already subscribed $10OO to help pay the bills.
 "Hanley and Bryan see the hand writing on the wall, and if their par ties listen to them the prohibition party will not have look in"

LARGE AMOUNT OF WORK YET REMAINS TO BE TRANSACTED URIN REMAINDER OF THE SESSION; MINE TAX BILL ADVANCES

PHOENIX, Feb. l5-With the best
 intentions in the world, the house ol
 representatives of the state of Ari-
 zona assembled itself at 9:30 o'clock
 this morning for the avowed purpose of lawmaking, but the best laid plans of mice, men and legislators "gang aft aglee," and it was speedily borne ill upon the statesmen that the birth day of a sovereign state is not to be lightly considered, and that any busi- ness transacted on the sacred oc- casion would be as null, void and of no effect as 1913 split gown. Ac- cordingly the members listened to Chaplain Crutchheld's exposition and called it day. The senate didn't even try to work, having adjourned on Saturday until tomorrow morning.
 A large number of new bills are smuggling in Chief Clerk Sweeting's retreat waiting for a formal intro duction. There are nearly 100 Will Hams struggling along in committed and from the gong sounding at o:30 in the morning until the battle is over on March 11th there is bound to be mighty stirring about

Among the impor- tant house measures which will be in the frying pan during the week are the mine tax bill, emasculated by the certainty that the emergency clause will fail to stick; the Powers prohi- bition bill, which will be adopted by a majority vote, and the probable de velopment of some of the land bills
 There are but five legislative days in this week and but five next week. the 22nd being the anniversary of the birth of c. Washington. This leaves but twenty working days in which to complete the mass of business con fronting the legislature.
 By vote of IS to l6, the lower house of the legislature, sitting as a committee of the whole, late Satur- day afternoon, declared to advance senate bill No. Is, known as the mine tax bill, to third reading, by the following vote:
 Ayes: Baker, Brooks, Buchanan, Christy, Doyle, Flanagan, Francis, Goodwin, Graham, Johns, Lanford, Leeper, Merrill, Mahoney, Newbury, Orthel, Reed, Richardson-18.

LAST HOPE FOR SHIP BILL IS
 NOW GONE
SENATE ORDERS INQUIRY INTO CHARGES THAT SINISTER INFLUENCES ARE AT WORK
By Associated Press.

WASHINGTON, D. C., Feb. 15.- The last hope for the passage of the administration ship purchase bill at this session departed when by unan- imous decision the senate voted to conduct an inquiry into the charges of influence for and against the bill by the shipping trust. This action followed intimations by democrats and republicans that there have been negotiations for options on informed belligerent ships with view to sell ing them to the government, by out siders connected with government officials. Although the house demo- crats continued their plans to pass the amended ship bill as soon as the sen- ate republicans asserted their fiji buster would be continued, because of the turn of affairs it is considered unlikely that an extra session will be called for some time, if at all.

Sy Associated Press.

KANSAS CITY, Feb. 15.-F-anb P. Walsh, chairman of the federal in dustrial relations commission, which held the investigation of the great philanthropic foundations, questioned the desirability Of the Rockefeller foundation in statements he made to- day:
 'fThe powers it claims and exer- cises," he said, "are as virtually un- limited as its financial resources. am inclined to believe these powers cannot be exercised under the Ameri- can theory of government. The tes- timony showed that the directors of the foundation are also directors of the industrials from which it obtains its funds. As an interlocking system it beats anything the banks or rail roads ever exhibited"

CARRANZA SAYS HE |S THE B|G
 NOISE

WASHINGTON, D. C., Feb. 15.- General Carranza, as first chief, has notified the world that all communi- cations to his government must pass through him even if addressed to other officials. The order apparently makes impossible all diplomatic rela- tions with Carranza, except by going to Vera Cruz. The diplomats have hesitated to go because it might be construed as recognition of his fac ton.
 Already, most of the diplomats in Mexico City have asked their govern ments for permission to leave when the situation becomes intolerable, and some of them have been advised to use their own discretion. The order may also affect American consula- representatives who have previously dealt with the defacto government.
 Although eight censors are on duty at Vera Cruz to prevent reports un- favorable to Carranza, it is learned that barely courteous relations are being maintained between Ca-ranza and the Spanish and British consuls who have incurred his displeasure be- cause of the frequency of their pro tests against unjust aggression in foreign property.
 While officials are reticent on the American course, the treatment of foreigners in Mexico, and the food famine in Mexico City, the plight of the diplomatic corps there has given the administration much concern.

FEAR OF AN AEROPLANE RAID CAUSES THEM TO DARKEN HOUSE OF PAR LAMENT
By Associated Press.

OTTAWA, Feb. 15.-Despite a re- port from Brockville that the Domin- ion police there believed that two toy balloons sent up last night at Morris town, N. Y., had been mistaken by persons on this side of the border for searchlights on aeroplanes flying into Canada, every precaution against an aerial raid was taken here tonight. The Canadian parliament met with windows darkened, and the par liament grounds which usually are ablaze were in absolute darkness. No lights were shown at the royal mint or at Rideau hall where the Duchess of Connaught and Princess Patricia are awaiting the return of the Duke of Connaught from Western Canada

IN ROME DOING MUCH
 DAMAGE

ROME, Feb. 15.-Flood waters in the streets around St. Peters have risen to a height of four feet, eleven inches. Several walls have collapsed but without serious consequences.
 In the low-lying quarters of Italy people have been driven from their homes or imprisoned in upper stories. Sublician bridge, structure suppos- ed to have been defended by Horatius and his two companions, is under water. This is the oldest bridge in Rome and was built 639 B. C.
 The pope has instructed the priests to use every effort to aid the suf ferers. The pope himself spent much time yesterday watching the rising waters in the quarters just below the apostolic palace.
 Floods are ravaging various DOT tions of Italy as result of heavy rains. In Rome the Fiber is more than fifty feet out of its normal banks and is rising two inches hourly. The Vatician quarter is generally flooded, although the water has not reached the apostolic palace of St. Peters.
 The Fiber rose to a height of 57 feet, when the rain stopped and at noon the sun come out, and hope in creased that the worst was over.

However, it is claimed that Hadwerna in southeast ern Galicia, has been occupied by them. There is no noteworthy change in the western front.

 LONDON, Feb. 15.-The countries fighting Germany, Austria and Tur- key, up to the present have thrown only third of their strength in the field. To maintain this force and to bring the remaining two-thirds into action will cost ten billion dollars during the current year.
