The New York board of aldermen's recent action in passing a daylight saving ordinance, it was said, had impelled other cities to take similar steps.
 Fifteen of the Is mayors of Con- necticut," continued MT. Marks, Ire gently voted unanimously at a con- ference in New Haven to initiate cam paigns in their cities at once for day light saving. Hartford previously had blazed the trail by adopting an ordinance which will be in effect the last Sunday of April next year. Plainheld, New Jersey, has taken sim liar action. In Baltimore, Maryland, a referendum vote showed that five out of six were in favor of it. Gin cinnati has adopted it, so has St. Joseph, Michigan, and we are getting encouraging reports from Hoboken, Jersey City, Paterson, Trenton and Camden, New Jersey; Wilmington, Delaware; Philadelphia, Scranton and Pittsburg, Pennsylvania; Richmond, Virginia; Chattanooga and Memphis, Tennessee; Chicago, Minneapolis, St. Paul, Denver, Salt Lake City, Mil waukee; Louisville and Lexington, Kentucky.
 Tt was the intention of the Ma tional Daylight Saving association,

PROPAGANDA IS FINE
 FOOD FOR MEXICAN
(From Wednesdays DaiIy.)

During my six weeks in Sonora and part of Chihuahua all 1 heard was propaganda of one kind or another, and as it was dished out almost daily it was very amusing to hear the ex- pressions of the average Mexican who gullibly swallowed everything that came along" was the manner in which Stephen F. HardmgS expressed himself yesterday at his hotel in this city.
 The visitor is a mining man and had been looking over the silver situ- ation in the two Mexican states, and also visiting with a son at Minas Prietas Mir Harding stated there is now no doubt but what the seven American mining engineers killed in Sonora and Chihuahua during the past five months were all victims of propaganda circulated among the Yaqui Indians, and certain classes O. the low bred Mexicans; and this con- Clusion IS arrived at from information received from reliable sources.
 He mentional the fate of William Tovote, who was well known in this section of Arizona. Tovote was killed by Yaquis while leaving Sonora, and close to the boundary line, while travelling with an escort of four regu- lar soldiers. If Tovote had been alone with the driver in the buck board he would have met with no trouble whatever, as that fact would have quieted suspicion that this Ann crican was not mingling with the Mexican federal forces" said the visitor.
 Harding expresses himself in an en- tertainIng manner and says that soon CT or later there is to be a big out break in that country, ill which the Americans and EngliShmen who are caught will suffer, and that they will be between two fres-the Mexican and the Iaqui - is the prevailing belief.
 The country is rich in mineral, its valley lands are fertile, and there is a great opportunity facing it if propa- ganda is squelched and the military spilit Is smothered," he concluded.

DISTILLERY WAS, ANT,
 IS, IT IS LEARNED
(From Wednesdays DaiIy.)


 Not all the material that glitters is gold.
 Nor are all the stills that are raided, aproft to the county peace officers. Witness the Miller Valley enter prise that was investigated the other evening by Sheriff Davis and a crew of deputies. The net proceeds of the haul were:
 One tablespoonful of "white mule" in the bottom or lower part of a pint medicine bottle.
 One gasoline stove.
 Eight heaps of spent corn meal. One strong odor.
 Suspicion that the premises, lying on the road to the east of the Miller Valley road, were not all that the prohibition laws demand they should be, was engendered in the minds of the authorities by several alleged overt acts of the occupants. So, the sheriff conducted his forces to the place and effected entry. In the base ment, was the stove, and piled around were eight takes" of mash, the same being of a decidedly exhilarating smell. The still, if any, had been re- moved, and other circumstances sur -ounding the place led to the belief hat the factory had been abandoned several days, possibly over a week be- ore. The small quantity of authori- ative liquor was all that really re- varded the search.
 The authorities understand that Vic Sturm, mining man, employed by the Copper Queen, owns the place, and that he has had it rented to a chap named Chambers for some months. The owner nor the lessee could be located yesterday. Sturn is said to be at the mine.

Advices from Phoenix yesterday afternoon conveyed the interesting information that Emmett T. Morri- son had passed a successful examina- ton to be admitted to practice law in the state, and after his return to Pres colt out goes his shingle as an attor- ney.
 That he is well equipped for this profession is admitted, this young man having attended an eastern law school, which he forsook to volunteer for the war, entering the artillery arm and reaching the rank of a ser geant, and serving overseas. Ii is but proper under these circumstances to class him as the fighting lawyer" and if he is imbued with provcrbial ardor of his people his future pace will show the true colors from his deceased grandfather down the line tc his father, who still is in fine legal action, making three generations to be harnessed up to the Blackstone vehicle.
 This young man entered the law office in this city of his father, Robt. l.. Morrison, after being mustered out of the army, and it will be pleasure for his many friends to know that he was born and raised in this city where he has made good.

Thomas B. Larrebee, who in early
 avs worked in the corral situated on ground now occupied by the Pickerill & Condron garage, Vyne Brothers ,lectric store, the Reif hotel, and other business places to the south, is l recent arrival in the city from San Bernardino, California, and is en -oute to Verde valley to visit with -elatives. He arrived at Parker by automobile, but from that place came this city by train, with his nephew, Stewart White, who is accompanying 1im on the trip, saying that it was 100 strenuous a way for slow Has 5ayamper to travel when the past is entrusted with the present, in sub itituting "whizzer" for a slow mule cam.
 One reminiscence recalled yester- lay by the visitor was that gold brick transaction in which his boss, Andy Whitehair, purchased from Jockey" Smith big, ripe metallic lemon for which he paid $14O0 in cash, on a bogus assay valuation of over $l7OO.
 q was the principal witness for the prosecution and Smith got light sentence iii Yuma for being an ecces sorry to the crime" he said.
 MT. Larrebee left Prescott in June, 1889, to be the ranch foreman of James w. Stewart, near San Bernar- dino, and this is his first trip out of that country in nearly 30 years. He further said:
 "I have enjoyed for some time the idea of getting back to Prescott, and now that I am here at last, it is really a strange place to me; the old 'uns are gone and they seem to have picked up and packed up every old landmark to take along with them; there is nothing left of old days to cherish, so far as I can see"

ANOTHER FREAK OUTBURST OF . THE ELEMENTS
(From Thursdays Daily.l

CFrom Thursdays Da1lyO
 Is the "sun-spot" storm materializ- ing which is due to reach the apex on December Y, or is the present eli matic outburst independent of the phenomenal clustering of the planets that are shifting their orbits to a central location to begin shattering the solar system? This will not be definitely known until the fateful day is at hand.
 Astronomers all over the world are said to be anticipating a melodramatic state of affairs when the eight planets get in action to lombard the sun.
 The present rainstorm passing over this county is taken by some to be a tip on what is on the weather sched- ule for the December date when the sun gets a stiff jolt from the con solidated battery of eight other eth ereal worlds, and some people in this town are gullible enough to believe the barrage IS now on to precede the huge drive to tear open the side Of he sun from which light and life are generated.
 At any rate there is now prevailing in this horizon and all over the state for that matter a f-eakish demonstra ton of the elements as soft, warn rains are deluging the country abun iantly while winter is fairly on its vay. It is a peculiar situation at best md without a parallel since the coun. try was first settled, so far as Yava. oai figures.
 Not a flake of snow was on the ground yesterday even in the lofty 3radshaws, while up in the Flagstaff country where the Frisco peaks tower o nearly 130OO feet, it was the same story.
 It may be that as June was set bacl as the wet month of the year thai November is keeping pace, the two periods being classed heretofore as he dryest of the season.

SILVER MARKET ID CONTINUE ! RISING
iFrom Fridays Daily.)

Just why the present market price of silver should be considered a joke in Park Row sanctums, or why it should stir the disabilities of editors, is something that no sane person, with a real desire to see our interna- tional currency relations stabilized can understand. Because silver has reached point that makes it worth even more than one-siXteenth of its weight in gold, we encounter such banal jokes as: Boy please page William J. Bryan" "Coin Harvey's School May Now Reopen" Sacred Ratio Reached"
 In the campaign of 1896, wher Bryan was running for president or an illogical platform, it was hard to determine which was the greater ass the "gold-bug who could not under stand that silver is adapted to coinage in any circumstances, or the free silverite who insisted that parity could be maintained with ain arbitrary and disproportionate ratio fixed by law.
 Those who understood the science of exchange, the function of money and why 1t was created, never for |; moment contended that silver was
 ll-adapted to commerce as medium or the estimation of values. Th' 'arthest the most conservative of hem went in demanding the reten
 ion of a single standard was to sa, that with the market value of the two metals so far apart even an ap- proximate parity could not be main tained, and that, in addition to this Europe was on a gold basis, which made it economically necessary for us to retain the law of 1875. The fact that the world a quarter of century ago did not need its surplus silver for money purposes was also factor, probably the controlling fac tor.
 But all this is changed. The mar ket value of silver has gone to price where it can conveniently be used as a medium of international ex- change, whether by weight or ac- ,ording to its mint stamp; Europe no longer is on a gold basis, or any kind of basis, although Great Britain af iects to be, and, if the convenience of the counting-house and market place s considered, every ounce of silver ill the world-and more than is in the Horld-is essential to reconstruction rehabilitation and restoration of places made waste by war.
 The silver situation does not call 'or jest It is a serious object lesson suggestive of a way out. Europe ha. discovered this, hence her drafts upon the silver centers. The sooner we discover it the better.
 Silver will go higher than the pres ent quoted price, notwithstanding oc- ,asional reactions like that of Tues day. l. will go higher, and the higher it goes the better it will be adapted to the office it is to perform. And the reason it will go higher is because it is needed in the present posture of world affairs. The law of supply and demand is doing its work-Frank J Rice in New York Telegraph.
