Urgent Need for Charity

The demand for food relief upon the department of relief and correc- tions has increased enormously with in the last few days" said Rev. Walter s. Brown, superintendent of the de- partment. With the increase of flu eases. many whole families are strick- en, and in many the bread winner has been put out of commission by the sud- de spread of the disease. The relief department Is in need of volunteer helpers to visit and investigate the in creased calls on our present force
 "In answer to one of many emergen- cy calls. we found a working man who had been sick, just getting up from an attack to return to his work. but could not, because his whole family, including his mother, wife and six chil- dren were Nll sick and unable to help last to give up. The man is just get ting on his feet. the only one able to do anything at all so all income is cut off. This is just sample of many cases being reported every day in all parts of the city.
 We just must have more funds for relief and suggest the pastors and churches take collections, cash or sub scriptions and report the results. Also, the lodges, unions, clubs and business firms and individuals are asked to help by sending their collections and dona- tions to Rev. Walter S. Brown, super intendent of charity relief, city hall.
 Please remember that 100 per cen. of every dollar goes to relief. No part of any donation is paid on any one s salary. It is 100 per cent relief This is our own home work and is needed right here in Birmingham. Respond liberally and promptly, for there are many to help and their number is mul- tiplying daily and no relief in sight

Birmingham Full
 Of Music Lovers

7THAT Birmingham is musical U city is fact which cannot be questioned. Local talent is well ap- preciated and every high-class visit ing attraction appears to capacity house.
 The interest in Sunday music grows and the community sings are as popular now as ever. Yesterday there was a double attraction-the sing at the Jefferson and brilliant concert at the Bijou. Neither inter fered with the other. The public seems never to tire of interest in musical art. Choice programmes are now in order, and the time will come when only the best will be approved or listened to.
 Even without an auditorium we have tone feasts from time to time. When the auditorium becomes reality Birmingham will revel in rare artistry that will be offered to the public at popular prices. Nothing IS more cultural than good music and Birmingham is to be congratulated on the fine progress it is making.

FOR SENATOR UNDERWOOD

From the Samson Ledger.
 MT. Underwood has been in Congress
 for many years. He was a member of
 the House of Representatives for sew
 eral terms, and in that body he became
 a leader. He was chairman of the ways
 and means committee which drafted
 democratic tariff law for the first time
 in nearly 20 years. He accomplished |Nthe admittedly difficult task of har-
 nonizing an unwieldy democratic ma
 jority and making it'pull together. From the leadership of the House he
 was elevated to the Senate, and during
 his first term he has become one of
 the leaders of that body. Possibly majority of the democratic senators want him for the leader of the party in the highest branch of the law -mak ing department of the union. He has achieved leadership among the repre- sentatives of all the states in both branches of the Congress.
 Men without superior ability do not achieve such a leadership. A man may | be big fish in a small puddle and d l mighty small fish in a large lake. Many | a man who thought himself (and whom | his neighbors thought the best ever, has sunk into insignificance when he | stacked up against men from other states in the halls of Congress. i From his public record-and that alone-we judge Mir. Underwood to be l a broad guage man, a many sided man. , who takes a nationwide view of all | questions that come before him for 1 consideration. That is the only kind of man who gets leadership in Con- i gress-and holds it.
 l One-ideaed men are frequently elect ! ed to Congress. Very often they achieve
 notoriety, but never influence. How
 many men have been elected to Con | gress or to the Senate on the one idea platform. Look at Vardaman of Mis- sissippi, "Sockless" Jerry Simpson of
 Kansas, Keller of Ohio, Berger of Wis | consin, and many others.
 | These men advertised their respec- l tive states. Yes, but how? In an un-
 enviable way. So will every man of one idea, if he gets any notice at all.

Clear Up Mystery OfDeath ofSquduv,
 OnNew Years Eve
(From Saturdays Daily)

Inaccuracies in the location of the body of the Indian squaw who was fatally hurt New Years eve were re- sponsible for the disclaimer by the officials and men of the Santa Fe of responsibility of train for the acci- dent, according to the statement of the sheriff's office yesterday. The woman was struck by Train 5l, enter ing Prescott from the north, between & and o'clock Wednesday evening, according to Justice of the Peace McLane, who stated that it would be unnecessary in this case to hold a formal inquest.
 The investigation has disclosed ad- ditional facts, however. The wom- ans right shoe was cut loose from the sole, which was found 30 feet down the track from the body. More over, the body was found, not il. proximity to the automobile road, as first reported, but about 200 feet away from it, and so close to the track as to leave little doubt that she had beer struck by train. The more tenable theory is that she was walking along the track, and got too close to tho moving side of freight car, and moi that she was struck by an engine.
 The location of the body is de scribed as about midway between tn, point where the Ash Fork road cross es the Santa Fe this side of Whipple Barracks and the nearest building the railroad out from the ice factory

 Report to Cowmen

FL PASO, Jan. 2.-Fifteen million head of cattle are grazing on the ranges of the Fl Paso district, accord ing to figures recently compiled by prominent cattlemen. Recent com pletion of the Elephant Butte dam has provided irrigation for a large tract which increases the feeding pos abilities for livestock.

 The vast ranges below the border once were great source of prosper ity for this section and heavy impor- tations were made for American con sumption Business men are count ing on resumption of this former prosperity in some future date, wher outlawry shall have become a thing of the past. Possibilities of produc- ton on both sides of the Rio Grande are considered unlimited.

OHIO INVESTOR GETS
 MIXED UP WITH LION
(From Thu-sday's DaiIy.)

(From Thursdays DaiIy)
 That q mountain lion will fgh' savagely when cornered, was the re- mark made yesterday by Thomas L Edgeton recently from Troy, Ohio who had been in the Black Canyon region since last November on range cattle business He gave a recital ol his experience when looking at the lion kitten that was being photo graphed yesterday, after being cap tured by Ramsey Patterson, and his combat with big one was verified when he rolled up his sleeve and on his wrist showed the evidence of the severe wounds received to which Pat terson retaliated by saying that he also had been scratched from head to foot by these "big cats" .-
 Mir Edgeton stated he shot down a big lion and supposing it was dead went to its side, taking hold of the right leg, when trouble occurred. He was raked viciously on the right arm, and it was only after firing half a dozen more shots into its body that death followed in a few minutes.
 MT. Edgeton comes to the city to ascertain forest reserve grazing con- ditions, and may decide to remain and become identified with the range cat tie business.

SUCCEEDED BY FLYNN ON
 DIRECTORATE
(From Saturdays Daily)

At a meeting of the board of di- rectors of the Hassayampa County Club held yesterday Harry Heap, who has been spending the holidays with his family and friends, spoke in the highest terms of the work which has been accomplished to date by the club. Heap has always been an an- thusiastic insofar as the beauty of Prescott IS concerned and has served for years as the chairman of the tourist and homeseekers committee of the chamber of commerce. Under his direction Pine Crest was brought to the attention of the citizens of this section as well as to the out sider From this has developed the many beautiful homes Oil the west side oi Prescott.
 The former mayor believes firmly that the country club will mean much to Prescott and the county and he agrees with the plan of the board of directors to go ahead improving the links and erecting the club house. Owing to the fact that Heap will be ill Texas for an indefinite business stay, of his own accord he resigned from the directorate and in doing so suggested that Dr. John w. Finn be named as his successor to the board, stating that the doctor is greatly in terested in the country club and has the same ideas with respect to im- proving and maintaining the same. Without further comment pr. Finn was unanimously elected to serve as one of the directors of the club. Up- on the return of Chairman Hazeltine of the building committee, all plans which have been drawn for the club house will be submitted to the board of directors and i'll turn a general meeting of the members will be cell ed The board is of one accord in believing that the country club house must be erected without delay.

 BUYERS ARE SORRY

During the recent marooning of scores of automobiles along the main line of the Santa Fe, when heavy rains compelled owners to abandon their cars in the mud there were many gasoline high graders at work" said Chester Winthrop, of Williams. who is in the city on min ing business in the Mayer field. The visitor, with a smile on his lips, stated he bought big Cadillac for SIPS, SC cured the spurious bill of sale, with the supposed owners name affixed 70 the paper, but later found out he was beautifully dupod.
 And that is not all" he continued, "as there are other fish in the pan who were nicely scorched in the same manner, and one individual in Pres colt swallowed the bait just as grace fully as us suckers upon the main line" he concluded
 Winthrop also stated many bona hde deals were made, but he can re- call where at least a dozen transac- tions were illegitimate. No redress is open to the innocent buyers, as the artists who worked rapidly are gone Winthrop also bought a roadster Buick for $500, that had good title so he is winner after all, he states.

RECORDER TAKES IN
 BIG SUM IN 1919
(From Thursdays DailyO

County Recorder E. A. McSwig- gins office was amply self-supporting during the past twelve months.
 This is borne out in statement by that official last night, in which he said that the office had taken in in fees during 1919, the sum of $l0, ,l05.05 of which approximately $500 would be net profit to the county.
 Since the announcement in the Journal-Miner of last Sunday that there were but three days in which to file and record claims to exemption of assessment work on mineral pros poets, the office has experienced a great rush in this class of business. In all, about 10000 mining claims were filed on during the period the federal regulation has been in effect. These claims are owned by 4000 indi- yiduals. Each case involved the copy ing of a form into the records, a tre- chore for the crew of depu ties.

THRESHING OUT THE
 BIG ROAD PROBLEM
(Frc m Fridays Daily.)

Arrangements have been perfected by which the state engineer will CO., operate with the highway comnis- sions of Maricopa and Yavapai coun- ties in jointly considering a future plan of constructive road building for the above two counties. A meeting has been arranged for next week in Phoenix. It is probable a three-day session will be necessary. The inter ests of Maricopa and Yavapai are of community relationship, but to har- monize as well as coordinate the work is the principle involved that friction in the future will not de velop, the state also to swing its machinery into smooth action for building and maintaining good roads in accordance with it's finely estab- lished program now being so success fully carried out. So far as Yavapai figures in this laudable movement it was stated yesterday that the full commission, with Chief Engineer Fishel will be in attendance at the forthcoming convention.
