Must Mot pisturb Swans.

Even the highest in the French Re
public must bow before the edicts of
tie French protocol, as Nine. Des-
chanel, wife of the president, learned
when she objected to the presence of
five white swans in the Elysee palace
ponds. The swans, Nine. Deschanel
admitted, were very beautiful, but
nearly every morning early they dis
turbed the rest Of the presidents
household, and therefore she inquired
whether they could not be removed.
The chief Of the protocol found that
sixty years ago clause was written
in the protocol which provided that
not less than FIVE swans must be kept
in the Elysee palace grounds, for the
feeding Of which the keeper Of the
presidential gardens was responsible.

CHINESE COME TO CHICAGO
FOR BREWERY PLANS.

Chicago WithsTeutonic brew i'm
possible to get, Nipponese beers boy
cotted, and Yankee breweries busy
with soft drinks, several thirsty but
wealthy Chinese have organized the
Wuish Brewing Company and COM
missioned Richard Griesser, architect
and engineer of Chicago, to draw
plans for a 100000 brewery. They
already have purchased all the brew
ing machinery and equipment OF the
Gebhardt brewery at Morris, Illinois,
and are having it shipped to the ORR
ent.
The steel and cork insulation for
the three story fireproof plant also
have been ordered in this country, but
all the rest of the building materials
are being purchased in China and
Chinese labor will put up the build
ings. 1t, will. have annual capacity to
start with of 100000 bottles.
"Most of the trade will be with the
better class of Chinese, Said MIR. Gre
esser. "for the coolies don't know
much about foreign beers. Two
Young cinnamon, educated in this
country, will have charge of the con-
struction of the plant. 1t will be fin
ished next spring"
And yet the Christian people OF
America, who contribute millions
annually for foreign missionary en-
terprises sit idly by and allow this
sort of thing to transpire! Are they
asking the same question that Cain
did of old? If so, shame! and thrice
shame!

DOUGLAS. Feb Ie.-The first ar rest made in this immediate vicinity under Section g of the national pro- hibiticn act which became effective last October, was made in Naco by E. ".

Trimble was taken to Bisbee for arraignment and hearing
 The arest of Trimble, according to Mir Doyle, calls most forcibly to the attention Of the people the fact thet 1t is a penal offense for a business man to keep liquor in his place of business.

NEW AUTO LICENSE LAW OF STATE BACKS
 EVERY APPLICATION

PEOENlX. Feb. 1s-On the back of every application for automobile license is printed the new state law, adopted by the last legislature which plainly states tha; no license shall be issued to anyone unless he first ob- tains from the county assessor a tatement showing that the personal taxes covering the car for which ap- plieation is made has been paid.
 Nit Simms. secretary of state. con tIbues to violate this law as often as he sees fit by issuing numbers 10 state and county owned cars and in these cases there is no certified state ment from the asst ssor.
 This matter came up a few days ago when an application minus the assessors statement was filed by Ben Ii Clark, deputy land commissioner Doepite its glaring Irregularities, R r. NcGiIlen. assistant to Nit Simms, issued license numbers, pending" he said, approval by Simms upon his return to the office"
 Simms is now back in the office having recovered from an affection of tne throat, and says that he sees no reason why the numbers should no: be issued to Clark, even though the ear in question is the property Of the state of Arizona.
 This is a practice which has been followed for some time" said Simms Tt is used to a great extent by the sheriff and city police officials, who desire to attract as little attention as possible when running down .crim- ipaIs or on other official duties.
 Tn the case of Mir Clark, he ap- piled for and was granted private auto numbers last year on payment of the usual fee. He said that in travelling about the state, he desired to be free from the embarrassment which usually falls to a state official, fin being asked all sorts of questions on every imaginable subject and in being requested to perform all sorts of errands in the capital city. With an ordinary license number he would
