OBJECT LESSON IS
 MADE OF DUTCHMAN

JEROME, March 2l.-By disre- garding the telegraphed advice of Karl von Haagsmann. which was to keep the United States out of the war by all means, President Wilson in
 cured the displeasure of the Hol- lander. Van Haagsmann has for more than year been travelling about the country, airing his personal opin- ions of the chief executive and other wise making himself obnoxious. For the remainder of the war he will be listened to with more respect, for he is to be among his own class in an internment camp for alien enemies.
 The order for Van Haagsmann' internment came by telegraph to Dep uty U. s. Marshal Henry Carlson. This is an unusual proceeding. Us ually the government officials take
 their time in enemy alien cases, but

HUGE AZTEC RELIC
 REVIVES SHADOW
 DAYS OF LONG AGO
(From Fridays Daily)

Leaving yesterday for Chilli cothe, Ohio, Egbert Farnsworth, who had been in Weaver mountains, car ried away a stone bowl recovered some time ago by Mexican of Wick enburg, which he purchased for a small sum, of the unusual size of 2SH inches in diameter and a depth from the rim to the bottom of the bowl of nine inches. The vessel weighed 6S pounds and was crudely made. It had been used often and was considerably worn on the inside. There were no emblems, except a small hieroglyphic painted in a red dish color, which was hardly discern ible.
 The material from which it was carved was of deep blue stone, and very porus, showing erosion and was probably of Aztec origin. Mir. Farms worth is to present this relic to the Ohio State Museum. He IS to re- turn later and may become inter- ested in certain mine

 BONAFIDE SAYS OWNER
CFrom Thur<dav's Daily.)

R. (. Houston, an arrival yester- day from his camp on Pine Flat, sub stantiated reports in circulation of having made strike of bonanza sil- yer ore recently. To date he has re- covered nine sacks of the high grade, which is to be shipped by express in a short time to the Selby Rcduc- ton Company, San Francisco.
 "A full car of second grade ore has been produced and will go to the above city by freight. and exposed is heavy tonnage for future delivery.
 Mir. Houston conservatively esti- mates the value of the high grade in the nine sacks at over S2,5O0, while assays of the second class will deter mine its value.
 This strike occurred in the manner as previously published, and was duo to an accident, in getting a bouldei away that work might go ahead with out danger in sinking below tho point where the rich shoot was un covered. The vein is well defined and lies in a contact of porphyry slate and schist, indicating perman encv. To date a depth of only 3C feet has been reached, and as ye there is nothing to indicate a pinch ing of the pay streak carrying tho second grade ore. Mir. Heustor comes to make arrangements foi hauling out the ore, and later vii bring to Prescott several samples O the high grade to be placed on exhi bition before the special lot is sen to market.

SAND IN CORNMEAL.

PHOENIX, March 21-Chemist A. E. Vinson of the University of Arizona has advised Chairman Dwight B. Heard of the Arizona Council of Defense that he has found no sign of ground glass in gritty samples of cornmeal submitted to him from Cochise and Yuma, Ari- zona. He states: "The material from both places contains no glass what ever but a small amount of ordi- nary sand. I do not know how the sand gets in the cornmeal, but l judge it comes from dirt on the corn as it is ground. While the material is absolutely harmless, I surmise the fact is being taken advantage of to start propaganda prejudicing people against the use of cornmeal and thus defeating the objects of the food commission. In case of inquiries you can state positively that the sus- picion is due to sand. After the ex- animation of a sack sent me by Mir. Sanguinetti, I would not hesitate to use the product for food myself"

KINGMAN PHYSICIAN
 GETS COMMISSION
(Fiom Fridays Daily.0

Captain A. L. Hilton, regimental surgeon in the United States army and located at Columbus, \. M.. was in Prescott yesterday to testify in the Carrow case in the United States court. Capt. Hilton. who formerly resided in Kingman and was one of the best known physicians in the State, enlisted in the army medical department several months ago, and was recently commissioned as cap tain in recognition of his efficiency.
 Captain Hilton states that medical work in the army Is strenuous duty, the physicians and surgeons being kept busy nearly every minute of the day. The absence of night calls. however, makes it little better than a practice among a civilian popula- ton. The army is now maintaining a strict censorship over the men and officers to prevent very much infor- nation being given out, and for this reason Capt. Hilton does not feel at liberty to discuss all of the interest ing things which daily come under his observation.

care of the women culprits exists, the women being sent to various county jails, wherever there happens to be room for them. The supervisors will have constructed large detention room, free from cells, in which the women prisoners can be taken care of. It will be located in close prox- imity to the cell rooms on the third floor which will be used to conflne the male prisoners. The county is to receive S5 cents per day for the 'ac- commodations" furnished the guests of the United States court, this charge covering both board and lodging.
 The room which will be used as a womcn's prison, will be steel lined and will be sufficiently large for about 30 prisoners. It is the intention of the court officials to send all women convicted to Prescott, as the confne- ment quarters will be new, sanitary and located so high in the air as to practically preclude the possibility Of an escape.

LOCAL RED CROSS
 DOING GOOD WORK
From Fridays Daily.}

The members of the Eavapai County Chapter of the American Red Cross are certainly doing creditable work. While the rain washed the good ladies out one day. the next they were installed in the Bashford building, where knitting, sewing and packing were again in full swing. A remark recently passed by a promin- ent man of Northern Arizona re- fleets the general opinion of many ot the men regarding the activities Of the Prescott women: 'If all of the women of the United States are as busy as the women Of the lavapai Chapter of the Red Cross, the ac- compliment certainly must be great"
 Last Friday, the local chapter shipped to San Francisco, five boxes of knitted goods: two of gauge and two of scarfs. Every women inter- ested in the work of the Red Cross is invited to attend. Strangers in particular are asked to come to the Red Cross headquarters and become acouainted with the work and assist if they so desire. Mrs. Goldwater IS in attendance each day and IS ready and willing to see that newcomers are started with the work.
 Of interest also, is the announce ment made by Mrs. George Ruffner, in charge of the salvage department that recently lS0 pounds of tin foil had been sold, which netted the or ganization S23.35. Everyone is urged to save the tin foil Children in par ticular should make habit of gath ering the same and turning it over to the Red Cross; egg containers and medicine bottles also bring consid- erable money for the Red Cross. The bottles should be washed. Persons having such articles are requested to bring the same to the Red Cross.

STATE TO MAKE NEW
 SURVEY OF JEROME ROAD
CF1om Thwrsday's Dailv.l

R. T. Belcher, clerk of the board of supervisors, this week received word from State Engineer Atwood that F. R. Goodman, one of the en- gineers connected with the State of fee, would be here in few days to make a new survey of the proposed PrescotttJ Jerome shortline highway.
 The county several months ago caused an accurate survey of the route 10 be made, but it seems that the State department wants survey of its own before ordering construc- ton started, and the report of the county's engineer will be carefully gone over and additional lines run. The survey made at the direction of the county allowed for some grades as high as ten per cent, this being done for the purpose of materially shortening the distance between the objective points. The State, how ever, does not desire to do any road work where a grade of more than ( per cent IS encountered, and for this reason it is not likely that the re- port of the county's surveyor will be accepted at Phoenix.

Returning yesterday from a two weeks inspection of his goat inter ests in the southern slope of the Bradshaw range, ]. T. Cooper, one of the largest growers in the State of this character of livestock, stated such a fine Winter grazing area could not be imagined except by per sonal observation.
 That region. he says, has been swarming with goats, cattle and sheep, and all have been benefited materially, no losses whatever be- ing reported. All rangemen are to leave that zone by April l. under forest service regulations, the graz ing time limit expiring on that date. Shipping to market will then begin, also driving to the north into sum mer quarters.
 MT. Cooper also visited the desert country to the south, where he re- ports grazing is splendid. Vast focks of sheep are grazing and from situation of alarm there has de- veloped healthy outlook for this in dustry, through the wonderful trans formation of the country from recent heavy rains.

ARIZONA COWBOY HAS NAUTICAL
 ABILITY
SURPRISES NATIVES BY JUMPING FROM NAVAL SHIP INTO OCEAN AND SCUM DROWNING YOUNG MAN.
(From Fridays Daiiy.0

George Philbrook, an Arizonan, is receiving much publicity for his dar- ing act in jumping overheard from a training ship off of Tampa, Florida, and rescuing civilian from drown ing. He was a second class seaman and had been in service since last November, his first station being San Diego, Calif, from where he was transferred in December to Pensa- cola. The press account of Phil brooks nerve is quite interesting as we'll as humorous, in which excerpts arc taken from the account given by the Times as follows:
 "You say, Philbrook, you were born in Arizona:'
 That's what the records show he answered.
 "Where did you learn that over hand stroke? I thought that Arizona was as dry as bone and the only visible water was in some of those beautiful and deluding mirages, many of which can be seen from car win dow along the Southern Pacific or the Santa Fe"
 To which query the naval hero re- sponded as follows: "The real thing is to be seen in bulk at Roosevelt dam. sometimes the Gila, Salt and Verde rivers will float a battleship. To tell you the truth, l got my first swimming lesson in the Verde B years ago, and the finishing touches were put on that overland stroke at Roosevelt, near which lake I have been punching cattle for over hve years. Do you think that because Arizona has a dry name 1t is due to its arid nature: it has got some re- deeming features in inland lakes or running rivers, but one cannot get a whiff of the sea breeze by riding a coach through the State. There's Tom Shonts in the navy and he was born at Gila Bend, the dryest spot on this earth, and he can swim too" Philbrook was dined by Miss Char lotte Blanchard, sister of the young man whom he rescued. and it is in timated this expert and nervy young Arizona swimmer will be sent upward to promotion and may soon be given a petty officer commission for gal lant and meritorious service" 1 Philbrook visited Prescott two years ago and participated in From tier Day doings from Gila county.

oi munitions under a new Cabinet
head known as the Secretary of Muni
tons is proposed in a bill introduced

ter The bill has the backing of the
Senate committee and viii. be strong
ly pressed.
The new Secretary of Munitions
would have power under the Prcsi-
dents direction to control arms, am
muntion, food, clothing, equipment,
tentage, transportation and any other
materials the President shall dcsis-
nate as munitions of war.
Government bureaus, agencies and
funds necessary to munitions ad-
n,inistration will be transferred to the
new department which contemplates
control OF naval as well as army sup
plies.
The bill is intended to increase and
expedite the supply of munitions OF

"One great trouble with the war es-
tablishment as disclosed by the inves-
tigation has been lack of co-ordina-
ton and the seeming impossibility OF
getting rid of circuitous methods of
doing business.
This measure places all jurisdiction
over munitions of war, which is de-
fined at length in the bill, in one per-
son known as Secretary Of Munitions:
subject to the direction, of course. OF
the President. 1t co-ordinates all the
bureaus, cuts red tape and does away
with useless decisions which had
tended only to hamper direct action.
