EMERGENCY MEASURE
 STILL IN SUSPENSE;
 EVERYBODY |S SILENT

The land bill. accompanied by sever al other emergency measures passed by the last legislature, remained hanging in the balance yesterday. with nobody apparently willing to start any action on the question of whether or not the measures are valid without executive action by the governor. And mean while, the identity of who started the argument that the constitution re- quires executive action befofe the measures can become effective re- mained a deep, dark secret, and every body in the statehouse had a different theory.
 All day long yesterday groups of men gathered in the state auditors office to talk over the situation, some with fear and trembling and some with ela- tion Mostly they looked worried. But none of them seemed disposed to do anything toward getting the question settled, outside of arguing the matter pro and con with somebody else who also was not disposed to start any, thing definite.
 But the suspense is likely to be cut short It is understood that Jesse Boyce will write letter to the attor- ney general asking his opinion in the matter, and that the attorney general is all cooked and primed to get the matter off his chest as soon as some body gives him the opportunity.
 Everybody NoncommittaI
 Attorney Struckmeyer, when asked yesterday when he was going to file suit for restraining order, answer cd by indirection.
 'It does not make a man any dead CT to embalm him when he is already dead" he said.
 Being pressed for further particulars he said that such a suit might be filed if it became necessary, but declined to define the matter of necessity or to tell who was interested in the matter
 A. A. Johns is in town and when asked for an opinion opined that the laws were all right. T think this muss was started by someone with an axe to grind" said he," someone among number in the statehouse that have been looking for grindstone."
 Another interesting angle of the matter is whether, in case the conten- tion holds that these bills were invalid | because not signed by the governor. what Will become of the bills that went through a similar regimen under the administration of former Governor Hunt, such as the general appropria- ton bill of the special session of 1915 and the semi annual tax law.

CITY DECIDES FUR SCHEDULE
 IF NEW TIME
Official Time Adopted Is Federal Time - School Men Ask It - County Alone Stands by "Old Time"

So far as Phoenix is concerned, there is only one time system in the city again. and it is the new time.' The city commission yesterday morning unanimously determined that the new federal time as put into effect under the daylight saving plan be hereafter officially observed in the city of Phoe- nix. Consequently, at ? o'clock this morning the city clocks were set an hour ahead and Phoenix fell into line with the rest of the United States.
 Notwithstanding the action of the city, PhoeniX. is not yet rid of the two time nuisance The county board of supervisors still stands pat in clinging to the old time and yc old towne clock still registers two o'clock when the rest of the clock population says three o'clock. The city's action leaves the county all alone in standing by the C.d time system, however, and it is considered probable that the county loo will fall into line in the near future.
 School Men Asked New Time
 John D. Loper of the city schools, @nd A. A. l3ctts. of the high school 2 ppeared before the commission at it's meeting yesterday to ask that the pre- ]ious action taken to stick to the old t:le SCnedule De resented. A few days experience under the double lime standard had convinced both that TWO times could not be tolerated, and since the new time" was the only possibility. it was urged that the new time be adopted. whether needed dur ing the long hot days in Phoenix or not. The commission took the same view, and "ncw time" it was.
 Today, accordingly. school will begin at o'clock new time and the business man who has been operating under new time while his children in school go under old time. will again find he can see his family once in while.
 Most of the business houses in the oty have already adopted the new lime schedule, and today practically all of them will observe government schedule. Only the courthouse will be an hour behind the rest of the town.

Two beautiful Shetland ponies are to be given away, absolutely free, to the children of Arizona within the next few weeks by the contest committee of the Deaconess hospital. Every boy and girl in Arizona. 14 years old or under, is eligible to enter this contest. No ad- mission fee of any sort is to be charged. All that is necessary is for the little boy or girl to send his or her name with a stamped envelope to Mrs. Thmas l.. Irvine, 1221 North Second street, Phoenix. with his or her sub scription for the fund for a free child's bed at the new hospital.
 The contest is in furtherance of one of the largest philanthropic enterprises ever undertaken in this state and something that should attract the at tention of every child. But to add stimulus to the contest, it has been de- cided to give one of these beautiful ponies to a boy and the other to a girl. A third prize will be awarded to either a boy or a girl, depending entirely upon the finals results.
 This contest is in behalf of a per petual free endowment of a child s bed in the beautiful new Deaconess hospital, now nearing completion. As the child life of Arizona will be the sole beneficiary of the investment, it becomes a juvenile effort in promoting their own best interests.
 The ponies are to be awarded to the boy and girl sending the largest sub scriptions for the endowment of this free child's bed.
 Through the generosity of Mir. and Mrs. George W. Biehm of Phoenix Bonnie Boy" a registered Shetland pony valued at s200. will be shipped free to any railroad station in Arizona to the boy IA years old or under send ing the largest subscription for the en

LOCAL MAN DEV|SES
 NEW PORTABLE LIGHT

Herbert Strickland, a mining engin- eer of this city, whose business. owing 10 its dependency upon England. was severely hindered by the war, has de- vised a portable flashlight that is said to be capable of throwing a bright beam of light for a quarter of mile. and which is particularly useful to ranchers and livestock men.
 Strickland secured the state agency. some time ago, for the Kay-Bee spot light, which he introduced here per sonally and through the motor car ac- cessories trade. On the advice of a friend. he constructed a portable model of the light. which consisted of the spotlight attached to a square box. holding four dry cells. The portable machine was loaned to the friend. who that night discovered by it's aid q skunk, who was stalking chickens in his chicken yard. By the aid of the light the friend was able to kill the skunk with a gun.
 The original Kay Bee spot light was for use on motor cars, but Strickland found out that it would make a fine portable light by attaching it to a box of batteries.
