FIGURES SHOW DRUNKENNESS
ON DECLINE IN ENGLAT

LONDON, Dec 16.-If any accur-
ate estimate can be made while SO
many men are away at the fighting
fronts, it would appear that drunken
ness in England and Wales has de-
creased since the war began, A Blue
Book has been issued purporting to
show a decrease of 47.017 convictions
for drunkenness during 1915
The greatest decrease in the con-
sumption of liquor appeared in agri-
CULTURES countries on the east coast.
In some of these convictions for
drunkenness dropped Ais per cent.
The mo treating law undoubtedly
has aided in reducing the consump-
tion of intoxicants. During the last
six months of 1915 there were only
42,342 convictions for violating the
mo treat" law as compared to 4S.
$50 during the first half of the year
Throughout theentire year Of 1915
there were only 1881 drunkards

IN SIX MONTHS

GLOBE, Ariz., Aug. 3.-On condition
he marries before January 20, 1917,
Theodore E. Miller, prominent welter-
weight wrestler, known to sport fans all
over the southwest as Foxy Miller,
will receive a bequest of $15O,OOO. No
tice of the rich legacy, which is to
be his on one condition was received
by Miller on July 29, in letter from a
New York law firm, informing him of
the death recently at Frankfort, Ger
many of Matt Dorschied, a wealthy
uncle. The uncle's will provides that
Miller is to receive the legacy only
upon condition that he is married
within six months of the day he re-
ceives notice of the bequest.
Miller, who has not seen his uncle
since 1886, remembers only vaguely the
trip to Europe and the visit to his
uncle's house at Frankford He does
remember however, that he was the
decided favorite of his uncle, who often
expressed the desire to see him grow
to manhood and be happily married.
Miller, who is now managing a crew
of statesmen in Arizona representing
an eastern pillow top and phonograph,
company, declares that he will lose no
time in finding a suitable wife in the
time allotted him to make his choice.
Unknown to his uncle he was married
j several years ago, but was freed Of ma.
trimonial entanglements some time ago
He is therefore, free to carry out the
provisions of his uncle's will. Witt
the legacy, which he is confident OF
securing, Miller declares he will qui

to more serious business. The pres.
ent job Of salesman, he says, is pro-
fitable one, and he expects to use his
fortune to develop the business in which
he is now engaged:

Bureau are urging Arizona's represen-

means by which patents were secured

for twenty miles on each side of the

RAY MOTORISTS
IN YOSEMITE

CAMP CURRY, Yosemite Valley
Aug. 3-Across the Arizona desert and
the Sierras to the sea- and back again
over the mountains to the Yosemite
valley without boiling the radiator
this is the record of the Adams party
of Ray, Arizona, who just arrived at
Camp Curry in their Cadillac Eight.
Heavy travel to the park from points
beyond the borders of California is a
feature of the biggest automobile year
in the history of Yosemite. The num-
Der Of automobile permits issued by
the park authorities this season al
ready exceeds by two hundred last
years total of 2270, and it is expected
that the final average for July will be
not far short of fifty permits per day.
The Adams party followed the
Parker t-off, driving from Ray
spending the first night on the desert.
The second night found them in Lud-
low, and the third in San Bernardino.
On the fourth day they arrived at Los
Angeles. B. zeokin, Mrs. Adams
driver says the road is in fair coridi-
ton with the exception of stretch
east of Parker which is rough.
From Los Angeles over the divide to
the San Joaquin valley, the Arizonians
followed the beautiful new Ridge
Road just completed by the State
Highway commission. The surface of
this highway is perfect and the grade
in no place exceeds eight per cent.
After spending a night in Fresno
Zeokin piloted the Cadillac to Wawona
by way of Madero and Grub Gulch,
making an eight-mile side trip to the
Maricopa grove of big trees, where is
found the Grizzly Giant, the Oldest
and largest tree in the world.
After a night at Wawona hotel, the
Arizonians took the Yosemite road
again. At Chinquaquin they left the
main road for a side trip to Glacier
Point, thirteen miles away, obtaining
from the overhanging rock their first
view of the Yosemite valley. At this
point the wall of the valley is three
fourths of a mile high, and the white
tents and mirror-like swimming pool
of Camp Curry are mere flecks on the
level green expanse of the valley floor.
Following the branch road back to
Chinquaquin, the party descended to
the floor of the valley by way of In
spiration Point
Mrs. Adams plans to spend several
days in the Yosemite and then to drive
on to San Francisco by way Of the
Big Oak Flat road After several
weeks in the metropolis, the Arizonians
will return to Los Angeles, where they
will spend the rest of the summer sea-
son. The members of Mrs Adams
party are Miss Adams, Mrs. c. A.
Heinle, Mrs. R. P. Roberts, Miss Rob-
erts and B. Zoakin, chauffeur.
