10 think of their Young men who would
be taken prisoners by the Germans, and
who would starve unless the Red Cross
gave them aid.
"If any young man is in doubt as to
whether he should work or fight" de-
clared the Colonel, "let him give the
army the benefit of the doubt and fight.
The rest of US should aid in every pos
sible way-buy liberty bonds, subscribe
TO the Red Cross and so on. The econo-
mics you may make to subscribe to the
Red Cross are not to be compared with
the sacrifice of the men who are offer

A few sleepy milkmen vending their
way home from morning rounds and a
lonely policeman or two on West Side

Statements of employees of the New

YUCCA TUNGSTEN ID
 BUILD LARGER MILL
iFrom saturday,s pally MInerl

Harvey Klotsch and William M. Klotsch were up from the mines of the Yucca Tungsten company the past few days. Harvey Klotsch brought the properties to the atten- tion of Pittsburg financial interests and secured the first money to begin development work. Since then he has erected a small mill and produced more than $1OO,OOO in concentrates.
 The company has reached a point where a new plant is a necessity and plans have already been prepared for a new and larger mill, to cost at least S65,O0O. Thousands of tons of rich ore has been blocked out and the new adit drift will open the same ore bodies below the old levels many hun dreds of feet. A compressor and ma chine drills will be used in driving the new tunnel.

 Barbara H. Hook, son of a we'll known Pasadena millionaire, has taken a bond and option on the Copper Giant mine from the United Verde Copper company, and report has it that he will hegin operations on a large scale at once. The price named in the op- tion is about $1,5OO,OOO.
 The Copper Giant was taken over by the Clark people about two years ago at a price currently reported to have been S9O,OOO. After spending about $6O,0OO more the Clark people found that they had mine, but that it is probable they have more on hand in the Jerome country than they can handle at present and, being offered big price, concluded to take profit. That the mine is worth a million, dol lars or more is a certainty, and if the Hook family will mine in mining way they will get big profits from their venture.

REDUCING THE GLARE
 FROM AUTO HEADLIGHTS

There is a rule of courtesy among the better class of automobilists which teaches, "Do as you would be done by," and it applies with special empha- sis to the use of glaring headlights at night. Encouraged by this spirit and by the passing of city ordinances against the use of glaring headlights in city limits, more than a score of anti-glare appliances have been put on the supply market within the last few months. They sell for almost any amount, from a few cents up to six or eight dollars. Notwithstanding the fact that many of these appliances are open to objection, however, thousands of them have been sold, and if the buyer but knew it he might have used the adjustments on the lamps to bring about more satisfactory and efficient solution of the difficulty without the expense.

 Thomas H. Condon, an officer of and a large shareholder in the Arizona Tellurium Mines company, accompan- jed by J. T. Jones of Milwaukee, ar rived in Kingman Thursday morning and went out to the mines, 15 miles east of this place. Mir. Condon is from Parker City, Indiana, and is interested in oil and mines in various parts of the country.
 The gentlemen visited the Daily Miner office last evening and expres- sed their belief in the magnitude of the properties owned by the Arizona Tellurium company. Especially was Mir. Jones pleased with the showing on the company's mines. And theiI belief in the properties coincides with the views of the mining editor of this paper. The mines are all that is claimed for them and with depth it is the belief that bonanza producers will be opened.

FEAR ATTACKS UPON BRITISH AND FRENCH
 WEST INDIAN PORTS

NEW YORK, Jan. 19.-Possibility of an attack on the ports of the Bri- tish and French West Indies by Ger man raider has created alarm among officials and residents of the islands and every possible precaution for de- fense is being taken by the authorities according to Rev. H. J. Henry Cart wright of London, who arrived here today on the British steamship Parima from West Indian ports.
 He said reports of the raider in southern trade routes were received there just before Christmas. At that time there was at Trinidad the British transport Magdalena, loaded with West Indian recruits, ready to sail for England. On receipt of news of the raider, the troops were disem- parked and scattered throughout the islands to strengthen the defense of the ports. The Magdalena, he ad- ded, left Trinidad under cruiser escort and it was reported to him that she had taken refuge in Martinique.
 Lights in the towns and cities are forbidden" Cartwright said. "In ad- dition, lighthouses and lightbuoys along the coast have been darkened and all vessels leaving port are warn ed to look out for hostile ships"

 The committee on patronage recom- mended the appointment of John J Sweeney of Yavapai as legal advisor for the house. The report was adopted.
 The most important matter In the senate was the introduction by Rob erts of Cochise of a proposed constitu- tional amendment placing the corpor- ation commission under the authority of the people as represented in the Legislature.

 A bill introduced by Roberts is aimed at nepotism. Under it's pro vision an elective officer may not ap- point a relative within the second de- gree by affinity and the third degree by consanguinity.
 Other bills introduced by Roberts were to compel railroads to pay for the stock killed on rights of way and a bill to amend the present bounty on wild animal law.
 Wilkinson of Maricopa introduced a bill amending the law for the adoption of children and abolishing all fees for the services of officials in that con nection.
 Winsor of Yuma introduced a bill amending and clarifying the present law for the loaning. of state funds The bill limits the loans to lands with in the state; a loan cannot be made for more than half the appraised value of the land and no loan can he made on land of a value of less than S10 an acre.

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 19.-De- claring under oath that he had been mistaken yesterday when he said that the bomb which exploded here last July killing ten persons, exploded before it struck the. ground" Dr Davis E. Stafford, county autopsy surgeon, today repudiated his testi- mony while under cross examination by the defense in the murder trial of Thomas J. Mooney, accused of com plicity in the crime.
 In reply to rapid-fre questions by Attorney w. Bourke Cochran, heading Moneys counsel, Dr. Stafford assert ed that as seven of the victims re- ceived wounds below their waists, and of these three suffered mangled legs and feet, he was forced to the con- clusion that "the force of the explos- ion must have been upward. Yester- day he said that he believed it was probable that the bomb had exploded in the atmosphere. The prosecution contends that the bomb exploded from the sidewalk.
 Cochran declared, after court ad- journed here late today until next Monday morning, "that the bomb was hurled from a building and exploded while in mid-air."

PROPOSED MEASURE
(Continued from page one.)


 be prohibited from finding place in the advertising space of the newspapers.
 The bill in question in effect forbids the use of the mails to newspapers that carry liquor advertisements responsible conductor of the news paper being made liable to fine or inn prisonment or both The framers of this precious piece of legislation do not seem to appreciate the fact that once the entering wedge of interfer- ence with the freedom of the press is used there would follow further inter ferences in the sphere of freedom of conscience and freedom of political ex- pression and classes of business adver- tisement other than that of liquor.
 The bill hits not at the brewers or the purveyors of liquor, but at the newspapers. Its apparent design is to limit debate upon the virtues of pro hibitiOn. The sponsors for the bill not cover settled animus against the agencies of intelligence. There are many who hold this feeling toward the newspapers because they have thrown the light upon acts or the records of this, that or the other person and thereby have made enemies in the cause of righteousness by the score. Hence this class of persons hold that if one can brandish tomahawk over the heads of the newspapers in the glare of congress, at once all the tribes of the offended ones will take up the war cry and whoop for the bill. Per secution pure and simple, not moral ity, is the basis of the proposed legis- lation. The measure carries no ethical implications, for there can be very lt- tie harm done by liquor advertise ments in dry territory-if the terri 1 tory is actually dry.
 Where prohibition cannot win by open and approved means, the news papers are to be penalized by such | underhand and disingenuous legisla- tion have never thought of the boom erang effect of such enterprise. There are multitudes of persons who stand | for prohibition who do not stand for tapping the tills of the newspapers as punishment to them for failing in all | instances to support the prohibition There are hundreds of persons who would vote for the cause on merit who will be turned away from it if it adopts the proposed tao tics. The measure is condemned in public intelligence because it does not harm the ones against whom it is pro fessedly directed-the brewer; because it assails the freedom of the press, which is the freedom of the people; because it represents tactics that are 1iscreditable; because it is a danger ous innovation, and because it is in spired by general animus against newspapers. Hence the measure should be and is likely to be killed with credit to congress. Let prohibition win or lose upon legitimate grounds is the view held by the majority of the peo- ole.-Editorial from Baltimore Amer can, January 6, 1917.
