PEOPLE VOTE BY SMALL PL U R ALITY TO DIS PENSE WITH CAPITAL PUNISHMENT.

PHOENIX, Nov. 25.-Ncxt to the prohibition amendment there was a greater degree of public interest in the initiated measure to abolish capi- tai punishment than in any of the other propositions. The closcness of the race for the head of the ticket was responsible for the slow count on the amendments, but it was reported at the capitol this afternoon that enough returns had been compiled to indicate that the measure had been adopted by about 500 majority and that legal eN- cautions in Arizona arc thing of the past.
 Under the terms of the amendment mo person convicted of the crime of murder shall be recommended for par don, communication or parole by the board of pardons and paroles. except upon newly discovered evidence es- tablishing to the satisfaction of all the members of said board his or her in noccnce of the crime for which con viction was secured"

LIQUOR ALREADY IN
 WILL NOT BE MOLESTED

TUCSON, Nov. 25.-Persons who are in possession of intoxicating liquor at the time Governor Hunt proclaims the new prohibition amend ment will not be molested. This an nouncement was made yesterday by T. K. Marshall, president of the State Temperance Federation.
 Mir. Marshall's announcement fol- lowed series of rumors, which gain cd wide circulation, tkat the prohibit ton advocates in Tucson were plan ming to make raids on the hotels and restaurants of the city which have had large amount of wine stored since the State went dry, as we'll as upon all of the homes of the city where it was suspected that bottle of per sonal use" might be found.
 q will use all the force at my com mand to prevent any person who gets liquor before the amendment becomes law from being bothercd," said Mir Marshall "I think to interfere with any man who gets liquor before the amendment is in force would be plain ly against the law"
 Mir. Marshall said the report that the prohibition forces planned to raid the express office and seize the ship ments there also was without founda- tion "We would have no right to take anything that comes in before the law prohibits it, and WIG do not plan anything sensational anyway"
 Mir. Marshall added that he had told several people. who came to him for information that they would be safe in ordering liquor for their per sonal use

PLEA TN ABATEMENT
 DISMISSED BY JUDGE
CFrom Sundays daily.)

The plea in abatement of the suit filed by John x. Lyons against the common council of Jerome was dis missed by Judge Smith in the Superior court yesterday. Lyons, who is city marshal in Jerome, is suing the coun- cil for the recovery of S2D alleged due him on his salary.
 Lyons filed suit against the Jerome council in September claiming that they had reduced his salary from Sl5O to $50 although the former amount was paid his predecessor. The plain tiff alleges that three of the council, which constitutes a majority, made it as hard for him as possible to carry out his duties because they were in sympathy with the defeated candi- date for office. When they failed to compel him to resign, they reduced his salary, the complaint asserts.

THE F A M MOUS SILVER BELT IN NEW HAND IS TO BE EXTENSIVELY OPERATED.
(From Sundays Daily.)

Returning yesterday from Los An geles, where meeting of directors of
 the Silver Belt Consolidated Mining Company was held early in the week, w. E. Paige announced that he had been elected as president and the gen. eral management of the property placed in his hands.
 He also stated that the more inn portant matter of financing the propo- sition had been accomplished after his report was made. funds now being ample for carrying out a large line of development as we'll will surface ac- commodations call for an additional outlay of large sum.
 Mir. Paige secured the transfer of the main office from Los Angeles to Prescott, and this action also was ap- proved. He said: "We begin at once the construction of a series of camp buildings, and material begins moving from Prescott tomorrow. The essential matter of finances for oper- ating is fully settled, and we are equipped with ample funds to prose cute the work outlined, and without obligating ourselves to any source in supplying what our property requires. The property has a very attractive outlook, and with silver climbing up, my associates are elated over the out look. The San Francisco office will be maintained"
 After carrying out line of pros pecting the Assure and later selecting a point for deep mining to go ahead, a shaft of about SO feet in depth showed remarkable silver-lcad values, while the vein continued to widen to over three feet with values increasing. Development was performed under the personal direction of Mir Paige and the program to begin extensive operations has been the outcome. A new hoist has been installed, and with official matters shaped up on basis of permanency, the famously known silver property of carly days again swings into action under conditions of modern mining which would indi- cate success as assured Mir Paige enters this field after many years of silver mining in South America and along the Pacific coast. He was ac- companied yesterday from Los An geles by his wife, and they will make their home at the camp. The secre- tary and treasurer of the company arrive during the week, and offices will be opened in this city later.

FIRE MARSHAL ADVOCATED

PHOENIX, Nov. 25-The proposal to establish a State fire prevention association in Arizona, and to appoint State fire marshal, IS meeting with the approval of the Phoenix fremen. Such an organization would be a fi- nancial advantage to the State,' said Chief Wright today.
 'The l per cent paid the insurance department of the State from prem iums on fire policies would more than pay all expenses of State fire mar shall's office.
 q believe the State derives about S25,000 year from the premiums and an equal amount goes to the fire mems relief fund"
 Speaking of the economical advan- tages that would, 1t is said, come from the establishment of State as sociation and fire marshal, the chict said:
 Il believe, after the thing was in operation, say after the second year, there would be saving to fire policy holders of the State of at least 50 per cent. Certain ordinances would be placed in operation and thorough supervision would be given all prop crty in the State Incendiary fires would be properly probed. and in fact the whole fire situation would be so vastly improved that insurance would decrease"

DEATH SUMMONS TAKES AWAY A
 GOOD WOMAN
LONG ILLNESS OF MRS. 'WOODVILLE WILLIAMS ENDS YESTERDAY AT
 BERKELEY, CALIFORNIA.
(From Saturdays Daily)

Surprise as we'll as sorrow was ex- pressed by many yesterday when a telegram from Berkeley, Cal, brought the sad news of the death of Mrs. Woodville Williams after an illness of over two years, the affiiction being heart disease.
 Mir Williams disposed of his busi- ness in Prescott to seek a change of climate to lower elevation for the benefit of his wife, but her affiiction had assumed a stage that baffed hu- man aid, and she passed away quietly with her daughter, Mrs. R. T. Walker and husband at her side.
 Mrs. Williams was a truly Christian woman, and during her ten years residence in Prescott had won the cs- teem and admiration of all for her lovable womanhood and generous nature. giving freely to charitable causes and helping on many occa- sions those in need of assistance. It is probable the remains will be brought to Prescott for burial.

3 DROWNED. TEN HURT IN FRISCO
 HARB0R
U.S.Launch Caught
 In Paddle Blades
s M A L BOAT CAPSIZES HMM MEDIATLY WHEN STRUCK BY HEAVY STEEL PROPELLER OF RIVER STEAMSHIP.

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 25. - Three United States sailors met death here today and half a score were in- jured when a launch carrying 5 men of the supply ship Glaciers crew was swept under the paddle blades of the stern wheel river steamer Apache.
 The dear are R. E. Wiley and c.. Campbell, both seamen, who were carried down in the launch, and Wm. Heiberger, chief machinist's mate, of Glendale, Cal, internally hurt but died of submersion.
 The relatives of all were notified by the navy department.
 Wiley's mother, Mrs. Rita Wiley, lives at Mckinney, Texas.
 Campbell's mother, Mrs. Nancy Campbell, lives at Middlcsboro, Ky.
 Heiberger has a sister, Mrs. Louise Schneider, at Arvada, Colo.
 A pulmotor crew from the city fire department worked over Heiberger for two hours with no success. He was picked up half mile from shore. too exhausted to recuperate.
 The big steel paddle blade of the Apache speared of the stem of the launch, which sank like stone, and every man aboard tended for himself.
 One man, Fred Wright, was taken to the harbor emergency hospital. All the others went to the Glacier.
 The launch, in charge of Bob Rob- erts, coxswain, put out from the slip between piers 14 and l6. At pier IA lay naval water barge 25. At pier l6 was the Apache, just docking. The space between was small but Roberts considered it ample, and headed the launch midway between the two big boats.
 At the launch ran out from the pro- jecting piers, the tide caught it and swept it against the stern of the river steamer. The Apache's wheel was re- versed, and revolving slowly. Before Roberts could twist his wheel, the launch was directly under the great steel blade
 The navy men suffered, waterfront men said. from lack of knowledge that the Apache's wheel frequently is kept going for some time after she docks. This keeps her in position. The Apa- che is owned by the Southern Pacific Company and makes the night run from Sacramento to San Francisco, about no miles.
 There were 5 men aboard the launch. Thirty-three were accounted for within a couple of hours after the accident.

THRIFT REWARDS
 YOUNG LADY INVESTOR
(From Sundays Daily)

Miss Josephine Amrhcin, young
 lady of preposSessing personality, the
 protcge of Major and Mrs. A. ]. Pick
 rell. IS attaining prominence for the successes made through her sagacity as a mining stock investor From one source alone, being shareholder of the United Verde Extension Com pany, her check for SIS 1000 would be honored at any banking house in the city. She is preparing to leave with Major and Mrs. Pickrell for the coast. and yesterday was quite free with friends in discussing her plunge into the mining game.
 Every spare dollar she accumulated from wages, went in the Little Daisy, and her faith has been we'll rewarded. An interesting matter attached to this young lady's indomitable will power is also mentioned by friends. She is a native of Switzerland, coming to the United States with other girls about three years ago, to pave the way for making her livelihood without seeking assistance from relatives at home. Her parents had passed away, and life's road was ahead. She was un- able to speak word in English, and with the customs of the people to be learned, she began life anew. She educated herself, studied industrial conditions, and when equipped with confidence started to dabble in small way in mining stocks. Every stone I have thrown has hit bird," she says, and aside from the Little Daisy which has been big success, l have other holdings to draw on"
 Miss Amrhcin may later return to her native heath, but 1t will be for a visit only. Where her companions arc who came over with her. she is unable to state They had better come to Arizona, if they know what is good for them," was the pleasant manner in which she closed the inter- view.

 COUNTY
LOCAL GOAT GROWER IS ADVISED OF AN UNI PRECEDENTED PRICE IN EASTERN MARKETS.

4avapai goat raisers are jubilant over the prevailing price of mohair, which has scared during the past year from as low as 5 cents per pound to as high as GO cents per pound.
 Advices to this effect were received a few days ago by W. S. Holder, the hig grower of Kirkland valley, who was in the city yesterday. He receiv- ed the information from J. E. Nc Carty, secretary of the National Mo- hair Growers Association. Mir. Me Carty says: "We are going to get at our warehouses for all classes of Ari- zona mohair fully 56 cents per pound net to the shipper" MT. Holder says that in addition to the fleece bring ing such an unprecedented price, he had received from dealers in mutton in the Eastern markets flat offer of S4 per head for his goats, delivered on the range This price," he says, "only intensifes the present situation of the high cost of eating. and when linked with the high cost of dressing, our position is but in keeping with other industrial movements that are booming high in the air the high cost of living; where and when the wave is to break, is only guesswork. I have been offered an exceptionally high price for my interests by a Pima county grower, three times as much as would have been paid one year ago and the matter IS now under consid- eration; copper and mohair are run ming a neck-and-neck race, and both commodities have doubled in price during the past IS months. The situ- ation all around is decidedly pleas ing"
 It is estimated that next seasons mohair clip in this section will, under prevailing prices, reach to nearly S5OOOOO.
