CHA RIVER FLOOD
 CONTROL IS URGED

SAFFORD. Aug. 26.-Andrew Kim ball presided at a meeting at Pima Wednesday afternoon, at which re newed interest was given to the movement to secure the carrying into effect of tue recommendations or the Olmstead report on flood conditions oi the Gila river.
 At this meeting, the fact was brought out and strongly emphasized that the movement now being organi- zed in the Gila valley is primarily TOT flood control and not for land recla- nation. It therefore differs radically from the reclamation movement now being organized to secure the con struction of the San Carlos dam.
 The Olmstead report recommends two things: First, the regulation or the flow of the Gila river by source stream works, so that the river will flow the same volume of water throughout the year; and, second, the standardization of the channei or the Gila river from above Soloniopville to 1 the lower, end of the valley, Oy build. ing such works as may be necessary to hold the river in a fixed channel from one end of the valley to the other, put an end forever 10 the ter rible devastation that the river has been annually causing for the last 20 years.

IN TIME OF PEACE

The Mormon religion is nothing if not practical. Senator Reed Shoot of Utah has written one of his constituents that the reyela- tions as given to the prophet Joseph Smith and recorded in the doc trines and covenants of the Book of Mormon, preclude hope that rat ification of the League of Nations will prevent future wars. And so Senator Shoot goes serenely on his way, insisting on reservations to the league and incidentally making votes for himself in his own home state. President Wilson seems to have forgotten to take along an expert on Mormon doc trines when he went to Paris, all though he had experts on every thing else in the American party. But perhaps the president thought he already knew enough about Mormonism.

ANOTHER ESCAPE FROM
 THE INSANE ASYLUM

PHOENIX, Aug. 26.-Another addi- tion to the long list of prisoners es- capped from the state insane asylum was made yesterday morning when Manuel Perez, a Frenchman, in charge of the guards of the violent" ward, walked to liberty. He had not been captured and. returned to the asylum this morning. Neither was a general hunt started to apprehend him,
 Perez was missed from the asylum following the usual exercise of the inmates on the grounds during the morning hours. Two guards sup posedly have been watching the in mates of the violent ward. Perez had walked off unnOticed. When the in mates were counted in, he was missed.
 Following this, members of the prison guard in an automobile drove up and down the main highway to- ward Phoenix and Tempe for a short
 distance. They also telephoned the Phoenix police and the sheriff. No other effort was made to apprehend the escaped insane man, according to the admission of one of the guards here last night.
 Since the first of the year escapes from the insane asylum have beer frequent. say guards from the institu ton, and within the past few weeks inmates have come to the realization that if they make away little effort ! is made to recapture them. Several i it is stated have remained at large 1 for long periods of time, while fey have never been recaptWed.

In Chief Gerrity, Chicago evi- dently has a police head of the old school, who wears old-fashioned suspenders and believes that clothes still have a place in the cosmos of things. The other day the chief went into the Ziegfeld theater in Chicago and found the girl ushers all wearing the scan ties/of bathing suits. This may have taken the cure off a poor show. but the chief ordered the girls to don skirts under the pub lie morals act.

cARRANzA's ATTITUDE
New York World.

New York World.
 American intervention cannot be forced by oil and mines and ranches. It might be forced by the Mexican government itself. Those who, like The World. are steadfast opponents of intervention except as last despe- rate resort are compelled to admit that nobody else is doing so much to bring it about as the Carranza gov ernment itself, not by it's failure to maintain perfect order in Mexico but by it's attitude toward the only great government that is sincerely desirous of helping it.

 The two Mexicans chose moment when the entrance to Riverside was deserted and seized Miss Squires by fhe arms. The young girl put up a plucky fight, knocking one of the men down, but dropping the money ' bag as she did so. The other man then picked up the sack and ran to- ward the river, followed by his con | federate.
 Several persons who saw the Mex l jeans running away started in pursuit The sheriff's office was also notified and in brief time several posses 'had started out after the robbers.

 Although every bit of country in the vicinity of the park was searched dur i ing the night TO trace of the thieves could be discovered. Miss Squires de sci\ed the men as being of good size and waIl dressed. The only clue

GODS OF ORIENT RELECATED TO
 DUSTY CLOSET

New York, July 23 - The trans forming of Chinatown that has been in progress for a decade, has finally thrust it's Americanizing influencies into the Chinese temple in Mott street with the result that the joss and the lesser idols have been rele- gated to a dusty closet.
 For years the joss was one of Chinatown's attractions, occupying a prominent position in the council hall of the temple.
 A Christian clergyman, the Rev. Lee To, head of the Chinese Associa- tion, which now holds sway in the temple, is responsible for the re- moval of the idols, which is signifi- cant of the present day attitude of the Chinese toward the old tradi- tions. The Chinese Association is re- garded as the most powerful organi zation of Chinese in America. l. has replaced the dramatic, though fatal method of old Tongs, with a system of mutual help founded on the most advanced American ideas of philan- thrOpy.

 The regulations were defended by Representative Hayden (Dem.., Ariz.) who declared that of 10000 men cer- tified as conscientious objectors, 16,- 900 ultimately went to war, and he classed Alvin c. York with the num- Der.
 MT. Newton contended that the de- of conscientious objector as fixed by Congress, to include mem bers only of religious organizations with creeds opposed to war, was broadened to include persons with 'conscientiouS scruples'' against fighting, whose statements were taken in evidence on reaching camp. He declared instructions were sent to camp commanders to deal syrnpathet- icaIly and considerably with such men, and that this course was fol- lowed confidentially and secretly.
