LIBERTY is made from ripe, selected long leaves.
 You know this is true because you find only long, silky shreds of tobacco in LIBERTY.
 You do not find loose, hard stems or short cuts in LIBERTY - no short leaves, broken leaf or hard stems are used in making LIBERTY.
 That's why LIBERTY is always slow burning and cool smoking in a pipe-why it holds together and lasts in a chew-and gives all round man-size enjoyment.

RED LETTER DAY IN

Seventy Nine New Members Admitted Yesterday in First Meth
 odist Church

Yesterday was a red letter day in the First Methodist church when the pas tor. Rev. Dr. Harker received seventy nine new members into the church On January , Dr. Harker commenced evangelistic services with MT. Garth as leader of the chorus choir.

 Of tne seventy mine received twenty eight brought letters from other churches representing fourteen differ ent states. This one circumstance shows that the population of Phoenix represents almost every state in the union.

J|TNEY LAW |S
 'S0ON EFFECTIVE
Although Emergency Clause
 Was Attached, Measure
 Not Made Immediately Operative, Pending Print ing of Necessary Blanks.

Within a day or two it is expected that the new "Jitney' measure off cially known as Ordinance No 105, will be in full force and effect. Its passage on January 19 with the emergency clause attached rendered it legally eff fectiVe on January 21, the date of its publicat tion as required by law. But the provisions were such that new forms were required in the office of the city license collector and these re- quired time for printing. In addition there were other formalities attending the filing of a bond and an application and the issuance of proper permits and licenses.
 All this has been about arranged and the matter of rearranging the present licenses and the issuing of new ones will have begun.
 The new ordinance is not fully un- derstood by many owners and drivers of cars for hire, but copies of the measure are being printed for distribu- ton among those interested and it IS
  quite clear in all minds it will be found quite a reasonable ordinance.
 The matter of the filing of a $2.0O0 indemnity bond, guaranteeing that the owner or lessee of any auto stage, auto
 bus or auto carriage. for which a per init and license has been applied will pay all loss or damage which may re- suit to any person or property from the negligent operation or defective construction of such auto or which may arise out of or result from any violation of any provision of the laws of Arizona or the ordinances of the city of Phoenix, is a stumbling block in the minds of the average "jitney" own l CT and driver The framers of the or dinance. however give assurance that the intent of the section requiring such bond. is that enc bond may cover the
 operation of one or more cars by an individual or company.
 While there are several new pro-
 visions in the ordinance the commits sion in adopting the measure did so
 only after several months consider9- tion and after studying numerous oth- CT ordinances of coast cities and the city fathers are now quite confident that it will be found that the new measure comes quite as near meeting l the requirements without working un- | necessary hardships as would be pos | sible while protecting the city and gen l aral nublic

TRAIN SERVICE
 LITTLE BETTER
Large Batch of Mail Comes In from Coast and East Prescott to Be Connected with Phoenix ill Two Days -StOckmen Home.

The condition of transportation fla
 cilities in this vicinity has been
 changed but little during the past
 twenty four hours. The only line
 which is at present connecting with
 the outside world is the Parker divis-
 ion of the Santa Fe, between Phoenix and Los Angeles.
 One of the first trains to arrive over
 the Parker cutoff was the special car
 rying the returning stockmen who had
 attended the convention at Fl Paso
 The train had been scheduled to ar rive at , o'clock Saturday afternoon
 but it did not reach the city until
 a. m. Sunday. A large bunch of United
 States mail came on the train and was
 the first shipment of the kind to reach this city in several days.
 The two cars bearing the stockmen
 were sent around via Needles. They
 left Fl Paso on Thursday night and rain and snow were the principal things encountered on the trip.
 All of the trains on the Santa Fe leaving Los Angeles are being routed Oul Id tliC AoOutiiCiil eAblliS bAANNS The train from the coast due in Phoe- nix at ' a. m. arrived here yesterday about five hours late.
 In speaking of the trouble on the Prescott line, F. F. Cruice yesterday stated that the road was making every effort to open the tracks and that train service might be resumed on this diviS- ion Tuesday morning or Wednesday at the outside. Most of the trouble on the division was caused by the burst ing of the Sawyer dam above Congress the rushing water tearing out a bridge and destroying several hundred feet of track. A big force of men was sent uI from this city yesterday and the repair work is being kept up night and day. The downtown office of the Santa Fe was kept open all day yesterday fol the purpose of giving out information regarding the condition of the train service over this line. The office was filled nearly all day by persons who desired news as to when certain trains
 might be expected to leave or arrive and the force did their best 10 answer all inquiries. A large number of tele- phone calls were also taken care of.
