The second annual state convention of the Temperance Federation of Ari- zona, was held yesterday in the Cen tral Methodist Church The meeting was attended by about 150 workers of all denominations from all over the state
 The day was divided into three di- visions. morning, evening and night and a presiding officer for each period named Former Attorney Gen eral Wilson of Tucson was called upon to preside over the destinies of the morning session. He called the meeting to order and Rev. J. Harvey Deere invoked the blessing on those gathered.
 President R. L. Morgan who has guided the ship of the federation dur ing the past year, addressed the con- Vention. His address was a resume of the organization of the federation, the reason for it's formation and the objects attained. and those yet te bo attained.
 In speaking of voting the state of Arizona wet he said the critics and opponents of prohibition made much of the depression in business that would ensue in such an event. In re- gard to this Mr Morgan said, While there is a general depression all over the country, it must be admitted that business conditions in Arizona are as good as in any wet state in the

 LAbORERS LOSE WORK IN MEXICO
Twenty Thousand Mexican
 and American Laborers Have Been Suddenly Thrown Out of Employ
 mcnt in Mining Districts.
ASSOCIATED PRESS DISPATCH

FL PASO, April 27.-TWeflty thou sand Mexican and American laborers have been thrown suddenly out of employment in the mining district of Guanajuato, according to private ad vices reaching the border. The Guana- juato sections forms the theater of the present activities between the Carranza and Villa. troops in Central Mexico. It is the largest mining dis trict in Mexico and reputed to be the most productive in gold and silver of any in the world.
 The disrupted railroad conditions and other troubles incidental to the continued revolution was given as the reason for the shutdown. The mining properties affected are owned by American and European concerns.
 Aside from insignificant skirmishes. no fighting between the Villa and Obregon armies has been reported officially by either faction. It has become evident that Villa is making every effort to present a strong re- sistence along the line of the Central railroad. The border town of Juarez has sent south a small group of re- gently recruited men.
 This and the weakening of other garTisons in the north has given rise to rumors of invasion from the United States by Carranza or adherents of some faction American army off cers and other officials, however, have been unable to secure inormation of any unlawful activities on this side of the international line.

On Gallipoli Peninsula in Turkey and on Restricted Front ill Belgium Allies and Enemies Engage ill Deadly Conflict.
ATTEMPT TO FORGE
 DARDANELLES
British Claim Are Progress ing, But Turkish Commit nication Says Forces That Were Landed Sunday Are Being Beaten Back.
tAssocIATED PRESS DIsPArcHI

LONDON, April 27-On the mar row, rocky GallipoH peninsula in Tur- key and on a restricted front stretch ing northward from Ypres in Belgium two of the most vital struggles of the war are now in progress. Neither struggle has yet reached a stage which will permit of a prediction of the ultimate result. In the Gallipoli peninsula picturesque assortment of allied troops landed on Sunday, and supported by the fire of the warships, are trying to batter their way through the thousands of German -officered Turks in an effort to force the Dar- danelles, the main gateway to the Ottoman empire, and reach Constant inople.
 According to British claims, the at tack is progressing but a Turkish communication received tonight de- clares that although the allies have landed at four points. these forces are being beaten back to the coatst, while the Moslems in the Fernch ranks are deserting the tri-colors and casting their lot with their co-religonsts.
 Equally contradictory are the of ficial statements concerning the fight ing in the vicinity of Ypres. It would appear the German offensive north of that city, which resulted in their re- cent gain of nearly three miles, has reached limit and although the Ger mans hold most of the ground gained, the question is whether they have sufficiently consolidated their new line to retain it.
 The rush over, the British troops are now said to have taken the of fensive and striking toward St. Julien. which the Germans captured, while the French on the British left have not only pushed the Germans from Lizerne, their new Judgement on the west bank of the canal nearest Calais. but have crossed the canal and hold Het Sas on the east bank
 A German official communication today, which records no progress for the German troops, admits the Brit ish took toward St. Julien. but insists the successful attacks were broken down. Some sections of the British press profess the belief that the crisis in the new battle, or the series of battles for the French coast has passed, but others are of the opinion the end is not yet
 The fate of Calais still hangs in the balance" says the Evening News The Germans are not disheartened They are not starving and they are capable of great sustained offensive in Flanders"

LOS ANGELES, April 27.-Mrs. Martha Olivera, who. although her sister, has been characterized by Mrs. Lillie Pratt as her bitter enemy, went on the witness stand for the prosecution in the trial of Mrs. Pratt and Charles Sebastian, charged with having contributed to the dependency of Edith Serkin, the seventeen year old half sister of the two women She first identified the suspended chief of police as the man she had seen meet, and 80 automobile riding with her last August. She then de- tailed the conversations and incidents brought out by the prosecution with the aVowed purpose of not only to strengthen the story of Miss Serkln relative to trysts at the apartments

Others Scarcely Conscious Act on Instinct and Crawl Out of Trenches and Stag ger Away from Them = Barbarous. Say British.
ASSOCIATED PRESS DISPATCH

PARIS, April 27-Thi"ty y-one French soldiers who were shot as they were leaving the trenches near Ypres when the Germans attacked them with asphyxiating gases, were brought to- day to the American Ambulance Hos pltal In addition to wounds, they are suffering from inflamed bron- chial tubes and their eyes are swol- len from ;he poisonous fumes.
 These men say that as soon as they breathed the noXious gases released by the Germans they suffered acute Iy. their eyes stinging and their throats contracting. Some of the French soldiers became unconscious almost immediately. Others scarcely conscious, acted on instinct and crawling out of the trenches, stag gered away from them. The con- meeting trenches were so chOked with fugitives who had fallen uncon- scious, that many soldiers were com peIled to climb out and make their way toward the rear over the open ground.
 As soon as the Germans perceived that the French were leaving their trenches overground they up with an intense rifle and machine gunfire along that portion of the front which is about three miles in extent It was this fire which caught the wounded brought to the American hospital They were picked up by French troops held in reserve.
