COST ONLY $50 TO
 LIST ALL YAVAPAI
(Prom Fridays Daily.l

Yavapai county's registration for the sclectivc draft was the most com- plctc of the entire State of Arizona. Receiving instructions to be lenicnt as to the time limit, the registration officers held open until June II, with the result that while the reports were delayed beyond those of the other counties, the results were most thorough.
 And this registration was conduct cd at the total expense to the United States of SS0. Of this, $60 only was for the payment of registrars, while s20 went to special clerical hire. It is unlikely that any other unit of $500 names was secured by the gov crnmcnt at. so low a figure.
 With the reports all in, there was not mention of single instance of anti-draft sentiment, no opposition or attempts to cvadc, although there were many cases of delayed rcgistra ion, due in most part to the fact that Yavapai, being a county of magnifi- cent distances, cligiblcs hadn't heard the rules setting June 5th as Regis tration day.

USES NAME OF DEAD
 MAN TO GET MONEY
(From Fridays Daily.)

Hardly waiting for the body oi John A. Hennessey, the miner who was killed in a cavc-in in the Butter nut mine, to grow cold in its grave, Dan Connellcy used the name of the deceased to secure money by means of an alleged fictitious check. Con- nelley was arrested when the Com mercial Trust & Savings Bank, through which the check was deposit ed by the Owl Drug & Candy Co.,. complained of its integrity. He was arraigned and held under S1,O00 bond, to await the action of the Superior court, by Justice of the Peace Me Lane yesterday.
 Conncllcy is alleged to have uttered the check Sunday, when he asked the cashier at the Owl to accept it. He secured the blank there and wrote out the check. The cashier did not associate the name signed to the check with the articles in the Jour nal Miner about the John A. Hem nessey, who was killed at the Butter nut last week.
 Conncllcy is from Mayer. He has been working in the mines there and is thought to have been on shift with the man whose name he used.

DAY RITES OF E[KS ARE
 IMPRESSIVE
(From Fridays Daily.)

Very impressively staged, the Flag day exercises of the Prescott Lodge No. 330, B. P. O. Elks yesterday proved the finest thing of its kind ever held here. Under the stimulus of these exciting times, the patriotic services were more than ordinarily impressive.
 The curtain rose on a tableau that was quite cleverly worked out. Be- meath the hugest American flag in the city, stood the living Uncle Sam and Columbia (Wm. Glenn and Mrs. Southworth). Their attendants were a troop of Boy Scouts in uniform, a half dozen tiny misses in white nurses uniforms, a soldier and a sailor in uniform and armed. The front center stage was decorated with a huge Elk's head with l3 points on the horns-one for each of the 13 original colonies.
 While the tableau was being pre- scented, Mrs. William Paar sang the Star Spangled Banner" her beauti- ful and adequate voice filling the the atre with melody.
 Following the tableau, the officers of the lodge performed the prescribed flag service, under the leadership of Exalted Ruler E. w. Stephens.
 The program was then opened by the invocation by Chaplain F. J. Farley.
 Mrs. Paar sang Columbia, the Gem of the Ocean," following which Joe " Prochaska, former grand exalted ruler of the Elks of Arizona, and now State game warden under Governor Campbell, gave his address, which was in part, as follows:

CITIZENS MUST HELP HOUSE
 VISITORS
RE PATTON OF MILE HIGH CITY FOR HOS FATALITY RESTS WITH OWNERS OF HOMES FOR FRONTIER WEEK.
('1lIeQ s.kepunS woII)

That it will be necessary for the
 citizens of Prescott to throw open
 their homes during the Prescott From
 tier Days, in order that the many hundreds who are coming to the big celebration may be comfortably ac- commodated, and that the hospitable reputation of the Mile High City may be maintained, IS foregone conclu- sion.
 While the hotels and rooming houses, by putting in a number of cots, will be able to cater to quite number of visitors, they will not un- der existing conditions be able to ac- commodate the numbers who are coming from every section of the State.
 Prescott earned an enviablc reputa- ton for herself three years ago when a call was made on her citizens to throw open their homes and thus assist the accommodations committee in housing the many who came for the big celebration.
 With the additional advertising which has been given Frontier Days since that time and the prestige which 1t has gained throughout the South west, each year the attendance has shown a marked increase, so that the expectations of the committee for 1917 will not be over-cstimated.
 Phoenix and Tucson are at the present time working up special ex- cursions, while the Elks are putting forward every effort to make the State convention for 1917, which meets in Prescott, July 4-5-6, the best attended of any Elks' convention yet held. The Yavapai County Cattle Growers will also assemble in Pres colt during one day of the celebration, likewise the board of equalization and Arizona livestock sanitary board.
 Chairman Gentry of the accommo- dations committee will open head quarters about one week before the beginning of the celebration and un- der his leadership every effort will be made to accommodate the visitors. Iii the citizens will come forward and list their rooms, much assistance will be given the committee" were the words of Chairman Gentry.
 w. D. O'Ncil has written the From tire Days committee that an automo- bile camping party of from Is to 20 will leave Phoenix on Sunday, June Both, to attend the celebration. He is but one of the many who are advising that they will be in Prescott during Frontier Days. Mir. O'Ncil remarks that there seems to be considerable for the Prescott trip this year.

LINDEN AGAIN NAMED
 IN A DAMAGE SUIT
(From Saturdays DaIly.)

" lOAi Sdlui I)dltl
 The second damage suit arising out of the alleged careless tossing of a stick of dynamite by ono Bill Linden in the Arkansas & Arizona mine last March, was filed in the Superior court yesterday in behalf of Victor Michclutti by Struckmeycr & Jcnckes of Phoenix.
 Carl A. Carlson, on May 26, filed an exactly similar suit against the Arkansas & Arizona-all the allcga- tions being the same as in this ncy action.
 According to the story recitcd in the complaints, Michclutti, a machine driller, and Carlson, a chock-tendcr, were sitting back waiting for the muckcrs to clear space so that the drill could be moved forward on the face of drift on the 1,600-foot level. Linden, who was clearing up came across stick of dynamite, which he carclessly tossed in the general di- rcction of the two victims, who were sitting down. It is alleged that the dynamite exploded on striking the floor of the drift, and hurled great quantities of broken rock into the faces of the men. Each suffered the loss of an eye, deafness and bruises and cuts of most painful character
 Michelutti is asking for compensa- tion for his injuries in the sum of S4OOOO.

Exalted Ruler, Ladies and Gentlemen:


 Gentlemen:
 As I look around this magnificent gathering and see so many happy and smiling faces. my heart warns, and there comes bubbling up d desire that these reunions might be more ire qucnt. To have the honor of address ing the people of Prescott is, l am sure, pleasure, and especially at this time, 10 pay tribute to the American flag, which l do with gratitude and triumph; gratitude to the God who has made it what it is; triumph to that which is in its very presence that demands the respect of people and nations.
 The American flag IS the friend of man; inc American flag Is the friend of cnslaved and wretched man; the people that love it best have concen- tratcd the energies of centuries to en- able one human thought of bencvol- cnce. They have often sat in intense and wakeful thought; have counseled with the wise, reasoned with the un- believing and cxpostulatcd with the unmerciful. Their hearts have burst forth with all their melting tender ness and their zeal with all its electric fire; they have turned the most acci- dental meeting into conference for the relief of human woe, and convert cd even the senate house into a the atrc of benevolent action; though al times their zeal was almost eaten up and the vigor of their frame was so far gone that they stopped over and looked into their own grave, yet their faith in the American flag has never failed, and in the sense that it has met uncqualed conditions and with stood them, that it has challenged un- numbered pcrils and conquered them; that 1t has encountered uncommon hardships and surmountcd them; the American flag may be said to be of the most heroic origin.
 The conflict in which it was born has added more of lusicr to the an nals of history and has resulted in more good to human kind than all the tournaments, than all the crusades, than all the wars of the past
 It has sown blessings broadcast, it Is teeming harvest ficld, garden of opulencc, vineyard rich in purple clusters.
 The order of Elks is distinctly American, linking the destiny of our order with the destiny of our country. We have made it, the flag, the crown- ing symbol of our order, and friends, l would consider myself stacker and un-Amcrican ii 1 did not at this time pledge the loyal support of every Elk 10 our president, Woodrow Will son. and our chief executive, Thomas l.. Campbell
 Honoring its very presence, re. joicing in its record, believing in its mission, we do well to observe this natal anniversary. Flags and music and flowers are the federated anthem of the American people The gentle breeze with lingering caress kisses the folds of no flag that can compare with il in beauty. There is no such rcd i'll budding rose. in failing leaf or spark ling wine. DO such white in April

 cent moon; no such blue in woman's S
 eye, in oceans depth or heavens

 tering stars and streaming light in
 all the spectrum of sea and sky
 So long as that flag shall bear

 At first, an audacious piece of bunt- ing, crudely woven and contradictory in design, it thrived and expanded un- til 1t gave to the world a new coun- try, new form of government, and a new model of citizenship. To the language of flags it contributed a new word-that of Liberty" It gave a new definition of home, and new idol Of the fireside, truer conception of the brotherhood of man; choosing as its primal task the subjugation of a vast wilderness, it became the chief geographer of the Armament, the chief pilot of the seas, the chief trail-maker of forest, valley and plain.
 It must have been fore-ordained that this flag should lead all others in the flight of the centuries, for it was the flag of George Washington and Thomas Jefferson; of John Adams, Benjamin Franklin, and Patrick Henry; the flag of Betsy Ross, whose Quaker hands first fashioned it into a robe of glory. Inspired by souls like these, the spirit of 76 became the spirit of all the succeeding years, and the flag through which it spoke became the flag of Bunker Hill and Lundy's Lane; of Buena Vista and Chapultepcc; the flag that cast its protecting shadow where rolls the Oregon; that blossomcd and famed in the snows of Alaska, and anchored a watch-hre upon the islands of Ha- waii; the same flag that rompcd with freedom in the bays of Manila and Santiago, and was planted in right eous defense upon the walls of China; the same flag that gashes rock-rib- bed mountains and causes the oceans to minglc their waters. The first flag that was born to represent a people | rather than a monarch or a savage; | the flag that has never known sur render; the flag that is destined to win | the world from wrong, to banish un- holy strife, and to usher in the thou sand years of peace
 Of all flags of history this Amer Ican IS the greatest, the most bcneh- | cent, the most beautiful It is an honest flag, benevolent flag, right eous flag. It IS the safeguard of States and nations and races. Its dis coveries and creations and inventions 4rc innrruerable

Quite as interesting as any disser- tation ever published on the flag oi the United States, was the History of Old Glory" tread from an original manuscript by A. ]. Herndon, former exalted ruler of this lodge. Mir. Herndon traced the development of a national banner from the earliest time, when the colonists adopted the flag of Great Britain with certain notifications, to the time when the l3 stars and stripes and the field of stars in their present form,- were adopted officially as the emblem of the country.
 Ii was interesting to know that l4O years ago yesterday, the continental congress officially adopted the pres cnt form of the American flag, with then only l3 stars instead of the pres cnt 4S
 Then followed the interesting cerc- monial of the building of a liberty bell of roses, lilacs and violets, each flower and color having a definite place in the scheme of things, and a symbolism that the officers of the lodge explained.
 At the sound of II o'clock, the Elks all sang "Auld Lang Sync,' after which, r. w. O'Sullivan was intro duccd. This well known speakers subject was American Citizenship" "a topic on which much can be said these days. But as handled by Mir .O'Sullivan, 1t was dressed in a style that IS peculiarly his own, and mos, interesting. He said that the flag for the honor of which this assembly was called, had ever been unfurlcd in battle for the right. He traced the progress of the idea of liberty which was born in the first American citi- zcnS at Bunker Hill and bred in every true American who has followed. That idea, Inc said, was something new in the world. It had spread south, until all of tho great Southern continent had freed itself from European dom- ination, just as the colonies had thrown off the British yoke.
