ONLY 9 NEW CASESO
 INFLUENZA IN CITY

Local health authorities were cheered yesterday by the showing made in the influenza situation during the 24-hour period ending at ) o'clock Wednesday afternoon. Only nine new cases developed in the city and there were three in the rural districts dur ing this time. The decrease. however was accompanied by two deaths.
 The latest victims of the epidemic are Glen Warren of Los AngeNs and Mrs. E. Popps of 355 North Ninth avenue.
 Wednesday stood forth from the previous days through the large mum Der of releases recorded. In the city, 22 patients were discharged. This number was augmented by four more released from the hospitals, making total of 26 people recovered.
 In spite of the progress that is being made in the elimination of the disease here. the total number of patients being treated does not materially decrease. This is due chiefly to the additions which come from the surrounding dis tricts. There are now but 97 residents being treated in their homes. Fifty seven people are inmates of the hos pitals. The majority are out of town residents.
 An interesting fact has been brought to light by the Investigations of the citizens board. The city is now prac tically cleared of the epidemic, with the exception of precinct No. 3. While the area of this subdivision is larger l than those occupied by other pre- l cincts. the number of cases that have been treated is out of all proportion.

MUCH INTEREST IN
 {. COTTON EXCHANGE

Considerable interest is being aroused through the valley in the Esyption Cotton Exchange, which was formed in Tempe month ago by a number of cotton men from all parts of the valley. The exchange is giving ground for hopes that eventually a clearing house for cotton may be estab- lished in the valley, which, if done, is expected to aid materially in the cotton situation.
 The exchange recently formed all ready has issued three market letters, ana will issue one each week. The letters. of course, deal only with the long staple cotton, and are sent to dealers and buyers of the product A number Of eastern newspapers which haze been sent letters now use them for their long staple cotton quotations.
 The purpose of the exchange has bean defined as to gather and spread st8istical information about the Salt Riyer valley product, and also to in- flutnce the cotton situation for the bet teri The market letters of the exchange haze received very favorable replies from all parts of the country and it is felt they are of considerable value.
 To aid in it's work of gathering gen ersd information about the Arizona cotfon product, the exchange has sent to several large eastern textile schools samples of the cotton for analysis, anC will receive technical data on the cot ton! from the schools.
 K. E. Myers of Tempe is the secre- tarF and treasurer of the new cottor organization.

Instead of work or fight" it is now work or flight"
 No longer will Phoenix gleam forth as a beacon for those birds of passage that herald the cycle of the seasons in their regular periginations about the country. The city is now endowed with an air-tight vagrancy ordinance that defines with broad. clear strokes the class affected by this new law.
 In the languaee of the municipal reg ulation. vagrants are: All persons who are idle or dissolute, and who go about begging; all persons without visible means of living who have the physical ability to work. and who have not for the space of ten days sought emplol- ment or labored when employment was offered them: all persons who use any Juggling or unlawful games or plays; runaways, pilferers, confidence men, common drunkards, common night walkers, prc stitutes, gamblers, lewd. Wanton and lasciVious persons in speech or behavior: common railers and brawlers etc" Included are the as- sociates of thieves. pickpockets, burg lars, prostitutes and gamblers
 The ordinance. passed at the regular meeting of the city commission yester- day, is to supersede the present law which is defective in that it does not properly define the offense of vagrancy Violation of the ordinance is made a misdemeanor punishable by fine not | 10 exceed $500 or by imprisonment in the city jail for a period not to exceed lSO days or by both
 The vagrancy bill was accompanied l by measure designed to abolish the traffic in drugs. According to the pro- | visions of this ordinance it is unlawful Tor any person other than a duly li- | censed physician or druggist to have | any narcotic drug in his or her DOS 1 session. It is also punishable offense 10 have pipe, lamp. syringe or other | appliance for the preparation or use ot a drug in ones Dossession. The extreme | penalty provided for offenders is a fine
 of $500 and imprisonment in the city l Jail for six months.
 At this time the commission acted or the petition of the owners of pool halls who requested that their license fees | Tor the last quarter be refunded. The
 claim was based upon the fact that
 they were closed during this period if
 compliance with the precautions taker l to prevent the spread of influenza. Mo.
 ton to refund this monrr was carried
 unanimously.
