Lele- vier at the Mexican consulate. prior to exportation of the goods to Sonora by merchants.
 Several carloads of foodstuffs were sent across the international bound cry here yeiterGay by the Moctezuma Copper company for consumption by the thousands of people gathered in Nacozari. This will serve to lessen the food crisis among civilians in the northern part of the state Consul Le- lever said
 Cananea is also receiving much food several carloads having been crossed at Naco during the last day or two

ELECTRIC THERmosTAT
 MAY HAVE GIVEN SIGNAL

TUCSON. July O-The electric signals seen recently on or near Sen tinel Peak and thought to have been made by some person signaling to an other point some miles away, may have been flashes of an electric ther mostat used al the Carnegie desert laboratory by Dr. H. A. Spoehr.
 The apparatus is used to control temeprature of instruments at the la bOratory, and gives of ashes of light al certain changes of temperature. It is thought that these might have been taken for electric signals. The only argument against this theory is that observers believed that they saw the signals on Sentinel Peak and not on the hill on which the laboratory is located.
 Another explanation is that the light came from lantern hung at the stone quarry near Sentinel Peak to give light for men who were working.
 -~~~~ occurred to postpone the mandate of the law.
 Peralta was 42 years of age, and had for a long time been a resident of Jerome, where he was employed in the smleter of the United Verde com pany. He had for some time been separated from the woman whom he murdered.

TO ORGANIZE GAME PRO-
 TEcrIVE ASSOCIATION


 ALBUQUERQUE N. NJ. July 1O.- In response to requests from the . sportsmen from Flagstaff. and other interested parties scattered through out northern Arizona. G NJ. Willard. State Game Warden, and Aldo Leopold of the Forest Service. formerly secre- tary Of the New Mexico Game Pro tective Association. will shortly make a tour of northern Arizona points to aid in the organization of a series of game protective associations. Tho remarkable results accomplished by the sportsmen of New Mexico since their organization few months ago have convinced a considerable number of Arizona sportsmen that their best interests will be subserved by start ing a simialr movement Thomas F.. Mccullough. a young business man of Flagstaff, together with about a dozen ether Flagstaff sportsmen. have made plans for a meeting to be held about the middle of July to start the ball rolling by organizing a game protec- tive association to represent Flagstaff and the surrounding country. Gustav Becker and Frederic Vim of Springer vile are said to be advocating another game protective association in that part of the state The objects of these associations will be 10 cooperate with the State Game Department and the Forest Rangers in securing the bet ter enforcement of laws. the enact ment Of better laws as needed. and the establishment of an adequate system Of game refuges throughout Arizona A concerted move will also be made 10 cooperate with ,he various stock growers associations in securing q more effective action toward the ex- termination Of predatory animals. which modern spOrtsmen now realize threaten their own interests quite as ! seriously as they do the interests of stockmen. An extensive publicity | campaign will also be undertaken to | educate the general public to a better ! appreciation of the value of a good | supply of game and fish and the nee essity for universal observance of the ] game and fish laws.
 Tho leaders of this movement have ! aypre ssed the opinion that if the | sportsmen of Arizona can organize a 1 really active series of game protec- ie associations that it will be out g i short time before conditions can he revolutionized throughout the state. Al present they say it is well konEn that not only is the supply of game and fish decreasing each year, but ~iola- tions of the laws are more or less prevalent in many places. They think that there is but one way to effectively check this illegal .!ork of destruction, and that is to star; radi- cal campaign of law enforcement backed by educational measures com prehensive enough to reach every citizen of the state with new idea of his responsibilities in observing the law and aiding in its enforcement.
 Mir Willard and Mir. Leopold will give illustrated lectures at all points covered by their proposed trip.
