the bill as sent to congress from the
war department.
With the Roosevelt proposal the
conferees also threw out senate
amendment under which three
regiments of volunteers could have
been enlisted for service on the
Mexican border.
The section dealing with exempt
ions from draft was rewritten in
part by the conference committee
and provision was made for hearings
in exemption applications before
local civil tribunals with the right
of appeal to second tribunal and
finally to the president.
Two of the house conferees re-
fused to sign the conference report.
Representative Anthony of Kansas
would not accept it because the
Roosevelt amendment was strken
out. Representative Kahn of
California would not agree to the
prohibition amendment, contendlne
that it reflected on the moral stand
ards of the nation and that regulat-
ory provisions should be left to the
president
Republicans in the senate who
have favored giving Col. Roosevelt
authority to raise and take American
troopssto France declared tonight
that an effort would be made on the
floor to have the senate insist on the
retention of this feature. The
general expectation, however, is
that the conference decisien will
prevail
The prohibition proposition as
agreed to excludes liquor, beer and
wines from any military post but
does not forbid selling or giving
these beverages to soldiers except
when in uniform.
The conferees put into the bill an
amendment giving the president
power to organize and equip for
each infantry and calvary brigade
three machine gun companies in
addition to those comprised in each
organization of these units. He
also was given authority to organ
ize one armored motor car
machine company for each division.
Exemptions from the selective
draft were left virtually as origin
ally suggested by the general staff.
Those absolutely exempt include
officers of the United States and
any State or territory; ministers,

sion. If the task urges one on, one
will hardly enjoy it; but if the in
terest is so great that one feels that
he is doing something really worth
while he will hardly realize that the
task is a difficult one.
To make difficult work light we
should understand the task fully
and realize the value of the results.
We should have good reasons for
everything we do and a strong desire
for doing 1t well. When we have
such incentives the work is likely to
be easy and we generally get plea
sure from having accomplished the
task.
But it is very difficult to find
pleasure in task where we must
contend with the forces of resist
ance without the aid of implements,
machines and other conveniences
needed. If the hands must compete
with machines and implements then
the worker does not find pleasure in
the work. Such work is irksome
and causes fatigue.
We owe it to ourselves, to the
business of farming, to save our
physical strength and general
efficiency by making use of labor

ARIZONA OFFICERS
GIVE RECRUITING
AN ADDED IMPETUS
Especial to Daily Miner)

PHOENIX, Ariz., Aril 23.-Impetus
in the recruiting for the First Arizona
infantry is already being felt as a
result of resuming the service under
the direction of the Arizona military
authorities.
Recruiting fell off while directly in
charge of the regular army, but since
the separation of the two services
Arizona's quota is being gradually
filled.
Fourteen points have offices estab-
ished now. Of these Bisbee, Douglas
and Globe report directly to the regi-
ment. Globe has the record for the
highest number obtained. St. Johns,
Apache county, broke into the lime
light this week with seven men obtain
ed in two hours. Work is being push
ed so that the honor and reputation of
the state for military enthusiasm may
not receive a setback consequent to
the reported necessity for a draft to
fill the regiment.

NETHERLANDS SETS
CLOCKS AHEAD AN
HOUR FOR SUMMER

THE HAGUE, Netherlands, April
PA government inquiry having
conclusively shown that the advan-
tages yielded by the institution Of
Summer" time in Holland last year
outweighed the disadvantages, both
from an economical and social stand
point, a bill has been introduced in
parliment to put the clock forward
again one hour during the five months
beginning April 16 and ending Sep
TENDER 16 next, Summer" time will
thus begin and end fortnight earlier
than last year.
The actual transaction has been
fixed to take place, both at Inaugural
ton and close, on Sunday night, be-
cause few freight trains are then run
ming. The convenience of the rail
ways has been consulted in the dates
appointed, which correspond with Ger
many's summer time period. The
measure again relates only to one
year, it being thought best that the
permanent institution of the daylight
saving scheme shall be deferred until
it is seen what neighboring countries
will do in this respect.
The only objections to sumner
time have been raised on the part Of
AGRICULTURAL communities. Farmers
associations asked that, in the country
districts, later school hours should be
arranged when the clock is put for
ward.

SUCCESSFUL PERFORMANCE

Last evening the Ladies' Aid pre-

thusiastic audience at ETks' Hall. Miss
Peycke is an inimitable children's en-
tertainer and apparently entertained

applause from all over the house.
A safety first picture was run as an
aftermath to the entertainment, but
it looked too much like a wartime
scene on the western front to suit
the average audience.
1t was the continuous round of
slaughter, that the young fellow
should be properly impressed with the
necessity of caution and prudence.

DOUGLAS CLERK IS
SHOT To DEATH BY
MEX. FIXING SQUAD

DOUGLAS, Ariz., April 24.-Trini-
dad Moreno, aged 80, Mexican citi-
zen, employed in Douglas as a clerk,
was executed Monday afternoon at 5
o'clock by firing squad in Aqua
Prieta, following his conviction be-
fore a military court, charged with be-
ing a Villa recruiting agent. The
body was inferred in Aqua Prieta and
friends spent the entire day trying
to secure custody of it, in order to re-
DIove it to Douglas.
Moreno and his employer, A. Robin
son, were accustomed to solicit patron
age for their store at the Nacobari
railroad depot in Aqua Prieta.
While engaged in this pursuit Mon
day morning at 11:3O, Moreno was
arrested.
Augua Prieta officials said today
the prisoner was given a trial, at
which he was confronted by two &C
cusers who said he had been active In
recruiting men for the band of Tomas
Rosas, which recently crossed the Dor
der near here and announced itself for
Villa.
They said also that a letter from
ROsas relative to recruiting work was
found in his pockets and that the ae-
cused finally acknowledged his guilt
Friends of Moreno, both in Doug
las and Aqua Prieta asserted he was
the victim of a conspiracy in which
a personal grudge and business rival
ry figured.
They appealed by wire to Adolfo
de la Huerta, governor of Sonora, and
exerted other pressure to bear to OBJ
tain his body to bring about a COM
plete investigation of the proceedings,
in connection with his execution.
Moreno met his death bravely, two
Mexicans who claimed to have wit
messed the execution, said today. He
refused to allow his eyes to be band
aged and these two men asserted he
protested his innocence to the end.
Before coming to Douglas Mereno
had lived in FL Paso IS years and had
been employed by a number of stores
there.
A wife and three small children are
said to reside there.
Jesus Moreno, a brother, arrived
here tonight to investigate the case
and to see whether influence could not
be brought to bear to punish the men
who, he asserts, plotted to bring about
his brothers death.

Reports of Villas Rout
At Moctezuma Confirmed

JUAREZ, Mex, April 24.-Rumors
of fighting between the Carranza
troops and the Villa followers in the
vicinity of Montezuma, 100 miles
south of here, were in circulation here
and in Ell Paso today, but were ofici-
ally denied. The rumors were believ-
ed to have started when the Mexican
Central train left for Chihuahua City
and then returned to the station here
late today. A burned bridge north of
Villa Ahumada was responsible for
the passenger train returning to Ju-
arez, according to railroad officials,
who say this train movement had no
significance.
General Murguia's troops have
again taken the field in the vicinity of
Montezuma, and are now moving
westward toward FL Vale (San Buen-
aventura), where Villa and his troops
were reported to have gone after the
defeat at San Miguel de Babicora last
Thursday.
Villa was reported to be moving to-
ward the American border, and Gen
eral Murguia made his quick move
from the Casas Grandes base to Mon
tezuma to prevent Villas followers
from crossing the Mexican Central
