APOLOGIES ID CHILE; DISPUTE IS
 NOW ENDED

New York, Nov. 27.-Difficulties be- tween Peru and Chile which resulted in recall of consular representatives by each nation from the principal cities of it's neighbor, have been over come by an apology on the part of the Peruvian government, Carlos Gas tro Ruiz, consul general of Chile, an nounced last night.
 A cablegram informing him of the Peruvian apology was received last night by MT. Ruiz, according to his statement from the Chilean minister of foreign affairs.
 The message, the consul asserted, authorized him to announce that the Peruvian officials admitted that in making public reports of outbreaks against their citizens in Iquique and Antcfagasta, Chile, they had acted on transformation. This was furnish ed, he said. by the Peruvian consul at Iquique,, whose authority had been cancelled for this reason by the Chilean government.
 The apology was sent from Lima, MT. Ruiz added. was wholly satisfac- tory to the Chilean officials and brought the misunderstanding to an end.
 The consul general stated a series of messages received from Santiago today denied reports of anti-Peruvian demonstrations in Chile. The Cable grams further announced, the dis missal of the Peruvia envoy at l Iquique ''had provoked in Peru a cer- tain agitation that determined my government to authorize it's consuls in Peru to return home if the cir cumstances justified"
 Despite a border dispute between the two countries, MT. Ruiz declared Chile had ''the utmost sympathy" for Peru and had taken steps to watch the frontier so as to prevent Peruvian lrevolutionists from receiving arms or ammunition from compatriots resid- ling in Chile. His government. he add. ed. had taken active measures to assist Peru in maintaining a stable government.
 The difficulties grew out of the old dispute between the two countries over border provinces Tacna, and Africa, formerly part of Peru, but now held by Chile.

MAY DECLARE STATEWIDE
 ACT IN VA L l D

Austin, Tex, Nov. 27.-The attor- ney-genera1's motion for a rehearing in the statewide prohibition test case was overruled by the court of crimi- nal appeals today. With the issuance of the court mandate, if custom is followed, which will be Friday, the last step will be taken and the pro- hibition act will be declared uncon- stitutional. Judge Pendergast dis. sents.
 The opinion, which was written by Judge w. c. Morrow, holds that mili. tary necessity does not become authority for the passage of a law unless public danger be imminent and pending. It further holds that statutory prohibition was not neces. sary to protect soldiers from liqdo1 evils on account of regulations al. ready existing.
 Attorney General Looney has main. tained that the portions of the act forbidding transportation of intoxi eating liquors are unaffected by the decision of the court and has obtained injunctions forbidding railroads from disregarding these features.-Arizona Gazette.

SHOP BY PHONE IS ADVOCATED ASFLU
 MEASURE

Los Angeles has taken step look ing to the suppression of influenza that is suggested as proper one and one that should go long way toward the desired end.
 Shop by telephone" is the slogan in Los Angeles and, in it the city is backed up. by the council of national defence at Washington. Cooperation on the part of the stores is neces- sary and in order to bring this about it is necessary to restore the delivery service that was in effect before the war necessities called for a curtail- ment.
 Some of the Phoenix merchants have been advocating this for some time, says an exchange of that city. Several stores in that city have re- gently aannounced an increased de livery system by them and invited orders by telephone on account of the epidemic.

MINING COMPANIES
 ARE CONSOLIDATED

Advice has just come from the Ma cozari Consolidated Copper company, operating large copper, silver and lead holdings adjoining the Mocte- zuma Copper company, near Nacozari, Sonora, Mexico, that the company has completed negotiations, under way for several months past, which gives them control of the Tharsis York proper. ty. The Tharsis York was owned by New York and Boston corporation, and as the property adjoins both the Moctezuma Copper company and the Nacozari Consolidated, it is a most valuable and important sasset to the latter. Furthermore it is claimed by the Nacozari Consolidated that the newly acquired property embraces a very large area of the great copper porphry zone, extending through the Moctezuma Copper company and their holdings.
 The Nacozari Consolidated has in- stalled and paid for new ore cars,
 
 lines, etc. Their main audit has been driven over 250O feet under the noun tain, and work will now be carried on vigorously, with the intention of open ing up the big copper reserve as quickly as possible. It is understood that the Tharsis York company has prevented the further extension of the big tunnel, but with this obstacle removed, the work will progress rap idly: solid six foot vein of copper, silver and gold has already been en- countered in the face of the tunnel.
 A number of eastern capitalists are reported to be interested in the re- cent consolidation of these two prop critics and the company claims to have financial backing to complete its broad development and equipment plans, which are expected to place this property in shape for economical and profitable production.

ARIZONA AGE WINS MEDAL FOR FIRST ONE ID DOWN
 GERMAN

San Diego, Nov. 23.-Lieut. Frank Luke of Phoenix has been awarded the gold medal offered by Miss Mar. garet Fisher of the American Film company to the first Rockwell Field aviator to bring down German plane. Announcement of this was made today at Rockwell Field.
 Lieutenant Luke won the medal by the narrow margin of five days from Maj. Carl Spatz, veteran North Island trained airman. Luke crashed his first Hun plane September 12, short distance northwest of Verdun. Major Spatz downed his first Hun, a single-seated Fokker, September IF, five miles southwest of Metz.
 According to a letter received from the commander of the pursuit squad ron to which Lieutenant Luke was at- tached, the dashing Arizona pursuit pilot is officially credited with de- stroying IA airplanes and 25 balloons. Before he was posted as missing fol- | lowing a flight over the German lines on September 26, Luke was rated as kAmericas premier ace by the United States air forces in France.
 Lieutenant Luke won his reserve military aviator, license at North Island February 1 and sailed for France in March. At North Island he showed excellent promise as a pursuit pilot, and upon arrival in France was immediately assigned to one of Americas free-lance aerial fighting squadrons. Luke's subsequent achievements in the air won him the Croix de Guerre and the distinguished Service Cross.
 Miss Fisher made the gold medal cffer to North Island trained aviators shortly after the outbreak of the war. Lieutenant Luke is reported by his wingmates to have been taken prisou- CT after he fell inside the German lines on September 29. In event that it is found that he has been killed, the Marsarita Fisher medal will be sent to his father at Phoenix.

M 'AD0O OPPOSES FURTHER CONTROL BY GOVERNMENT
 OF. RAILROADS

Providence, R. l., Nov. 27.- The Providence Journal says: "The basic reason for the withdraw al of William G. McAdoo from the cabinet is not, as stated for public con sumption, the fact that the secretar of the treasury found it impossible to live in Washington on his official salary, but that he found himself in siders the presidents set purpose to total disagreement with what he con impose government ownership or gov ernment control of all public utilities in this country. He was determined to remain no longer a member of a cabinet which was fast drifting into that policy.
 'McAdoo has never been a public ownership man. His recent, expert ences as director-general of railroads not only strengthened him in this be- lief, but brought him into continuous and acrimonious discussion with MT. Wilson and some of his fellow cabi-
 
 ! future of the railroads.
 He insisted from the start that the roads be returned to their former owners at the earliest possible mo- ideas have been bitterly opposed. The signing of the armistice made the situ- ation worse, so that he felt that he was compelled to make his choice be- tween resigning as member of the presidents official family or remain ing in office and helping to formulate plans entirely distasteful to him.
 When the president gave his sane tion for the taking over of the cables by Postmaster General Burleson, Me adoo vigorously denounced this act as one disastrous to the political for tunes of the administration and the interests of the United States. The Journal is in possession of the fact that he presented these ideas to MT. Wilson without any mincing of words at the time he wrote hislaterresigna- tion.
 "At least two other members of the cabinet are in. the same frame of mind as MT. McAdoo, and men within ad- ministration circles are well aware of this attitude. The insurgents are supported by Col. House, wh preached the parting of the ways with Burleson several months ago.
 If MT. McAdoo has ambitions for the presidential nomination in 1920, he will not only be supported by friends of the present administration but will be strenuously aided by them. They are already beginning to treasury has seen fit to disassociate himelf with MT. Wilson because of these ambitions.
 ''Men who are close to MT. McAdoo, sire to run for the presidency, and that the only reason for his present step is his present determination not to put himself in a false light among those who have been his associates for years in his commercial enter prises, who we'll know his attitude on government ownership, and who would resent further his connection with an administration which has started along that path.
 "McAdoo's future lies in the com mercial world. His withdrawal to pri- vate life at this time is proof that he does not intend to sacrifice the con- fidence and respect of commercial and financial leaders who would naturally come into close contact with him in his future business career
