 BUTTON BUT SURVIVES IT

DOUGLAS. Nov. 2s-Improper use of Tom Campbell campaign button resulted seriously for the 20-months'- old grandchild of H. T. Benton, 72I Fourteenth street, last night
 Benton during the late campaign as a Campbell democrat and an en- thusiastic one. He always wor. a Campbell campaign button. The cleo tion over, he set it aside, but the baby got it and used it for a play thing. Baby seemed to like Tom Campbell's looks. and everytime the button was taken away from him he cried. Last night. at bedtime, he varied his usual play with the button by swallowing it.
 He came near choking to death. While Mir. Benton rushed for a doc tor. the mother slapped the child on the back to jar loose the obstruction to his breathing. and her work was finally successful.

PUBLIC DANCES MAY
 JOIN KING ALCOHOL
among stock.

GLOBE. Dec. What may prove to be the death knell of public dances in this district was sounded yester- day in Miami when the management of the Dreamland dance hall was ar raigned before Judge McEachern up- on a complaint sworn out by John A. Davis The complaint charges the defendants with operating a dance hall in defiance of a state law which prohibits such places of amusement. The case was not continued until next Tuesday afternoon.
 For the past two years the dance halls of the state have been operat- ing under a sort of tacit agreement that they would not be molested as long as they were properly conducted and no complaint was lodged against them. The action of the Miami resi- dent, however. may result in the com plete abolition of public dances.
 Legal opinion upon the question ap- pears to be pretty evenly divided, some attorneys maintaining that by the term public dance hall'' is meant a place where alcoholic beverages are sold and which is frequented by fem mine entertainers of doubtful morals. Such places are said to have existed in this state in the days when prohi- bition was term to be found in the dictionary. This law is said to have been aimed solely at this class of dances.
 Other lawyers incline to the belief that the statute will admit of literal translation, consequently the lovers of terpsicorean relaxation are anxiously awaiting the outcome of the battle in the Concentrator City court.

 few of the builder of paths along which he believes humanity should learn to travel has free sway to try them out If reports from Hermosil- Q are to be credited, Lincoln Steffens. the well known magazine writer, is an exception to this rule. He is ac- credited with being one of the chief advisors of Governor Adolfo de la Huerta and largely responsible for some of the recent and more radical of the governors decree.
 Just how Steffens and de la Huerta came to know one another does not appear in the Hermosfllo report, but it is 10 be presumed that the author came in contact with the present So- nora governor while the former was doin A set of articles for McClure's magazine on Mexico and Mexican con ditions.
 It is said that Governor de Ia Huer- Ia depends largely upon the judgment of his American friend in affairs of state. and has frequently conferred with him by letter and wire relative to proposed decrees before he has is- sued them.

 Arizona is free from all forLis of stock contagion." said Dr. Severn in recent interview. 'Co,iditions are much better at the present time than for the past several years"
 IL is believed that dealers through out the state have taken the necas sary precautions to prevent any seri- ous epidemics of stock infection. Con siderable attention has been paid l. the past few months to preventative Q measures. which have been adopted by practically every large dealer in the state
 II is highly probable that more rigid inspection will be maintained by the state veterinary depart rtnent fer the next few weeks, howevec, as lldiIiJnal precautionary measures against an epidemic of the foot and mouth disease in this state. While there are no suspected herds in Ari- zona at the present time, all cases of illness among stock will be closely watched.
 An epidemic of such a disease in Arizona would prove a disaster to the stock interests of the entire state As the stock industry is one of the principal assets of the state. it would naturally work untold hardships with all interests of the state. For this reason. every precaution will be talk en 10 forestali all contagious diseases among stock.

WILL TAKE NO ACTION
 ON CLOSED SHOP

GLOBE, Dec. 1-Members of the Globe local Western Federation of
 suers will take no action, either now
 in the immediate future. toward
 handing the closed shop or an in
 ase in wages The question was
 led definitely last night at a meet g 7 of the local union in their hall on ,OTth Broad street. A vote of mem
 rs taken at the meeting resulted in 1defnite postponement of the issue.
 he meeting had been called for the 8rpase of deciding if the Globe Min IS Union should take an advisory Ote on the closed shop Action on he increased wages has not been 1u,empllted al this time. although
 se was some talk of bringing up 3" question. A large percentage of lt membership attended the meet ing.
 The action of the Globe union in indefinitely postponing action on the '5sCd shop, settles for a time at least he question of q strike in this camp. lad the advisory vote been approved by the union there might still have been ground for apprehension. With he stamp of approval placed on Globe working conditions by the miners themselves it is hardly likely that fur ther agitation for wage increases, recognition or other demands will be pressed.
 Another and most puzzling angle to the Donnelly episode has developed. Warrants for five alleged leaders of he mob which threatened to run J. L. D1nnelly and Edward J. Moreno out of Miami Sunday night, were is- sued by the district attorney yester- day upon the complaint of DonnelIy. The whereabouts of the papers are now a mystery. so far as the proper are concerned.
