CENSUS IS JOKE
 THINKS |. OF [.

Secretary, Chamber of Commerce
 There is not fair thinking citizen
 who has lived in Prescott for ten years, but who IS convinced that the census figure given out by the U. s. department of census is a joke pure and simple.
 The chamber of commerce has sub mittei certain comparative figures to Arizonas congressional delegation and has asked for their advice re- garding .his matter. As a matter of civic pride. every citizen who was rot enrolled in the census should report their rames to the chamber of commerce office.
 Clerk John H. Robinson estimates the census of Prescott between 7OOO and 7500; County Recorder E. A. McSwiggin is confident that the cen isus if properly taken will show be- tween $500 and 7OOO The figures as given out by the chamber of com Imerce have been between 6OOO and 65O0. John Duke, of the hotel St. Michael is another man in a posi- Ition to judge the figures, knowing hotel conditions now as compared with those of ten years ago and he estimates tine population between 6000 aud 70CC. Former Postmaster A. L. Smith IS another man who will have to be shown with respect to the presen. figures. Charles Born, who served for many years as cen sus enumerator estimates the popu- latiou between $500 and 6OO0 and he again is in a position to judge. While locally the figures mean little, the injury to a growing little city like Prescott, comes from abroad, where during the week these figures show ing decrease have been published in every paper carrying the Associa- ted Press reports.
 l. is impossible to compare the registration figures for 1910 with those of 1919 for the reason that in 1920 the alphabetical list of voters was used and any one residing in any part of the county whose name appeared on the roll could vote at any precinct, but the following com parison which IS made ill the num- Der of registrations, commencing with 1914, the first year women voted speaks for itself:
Weekly journal-miner., 1920-09-02

A comparison in the postal re-
 ceipts almost fifty per cent in
 crease: in 1919, the postal receipts
 were $23,OOO and in 1919, $35,OO0. | While there IS not a marked iu-
 crease in the school census yet thre lis sufficient increase to warrant the showing of a growth and not a de- crease.
 Over 4O0 new homes have been built ill Prescott during the last ten years and in addition to these room- ing houses have been erected as we'll las one or two hotels. Such things las apartments were almost an un- known quantity ten years ago and yet in 1919 many homes were con vcrted into apartments. Another at test as to the growth is the fact that it was not uncommon ten years ago to have houses and apartments listed for rental, as well as office buildings and stores, while these are scarce in this day and age. A map compiled by the Prescott Gas and Electric Company shows that there are between 1231 and 125O homes ill Prescott. While it is impossible to base the growth of tho town on the amount of electricity and gas used yet it is a fact that the water figures can be taken to illustrate the growth of Prescott. This for the reason that every household in Prescott would use water where all might not use gas and electricity. The following figures compiled by Superintendent Shaw are interesting:
 No record of the amount of water used for the years 1910 to '13 arc to be had, but the following figures are absolutely correct fot the years as outlined:

No. of new connection Made

An increase of g percent since 1914. During the first six months of 1920, thirty-two new connections were made. In 1919, 56,JS8,512 gallons of water were used as against Sl,2lS.- 327 gallons, which shows an increase for the city of Prescott alone for ten years of forty-four percent. These figures do not include the water used at Whipple Barracks.

DREADED SLAVERY
 FOR ARMEN|ANS |S
 SECRET TURK ORDER

WASHINGTON. Jan. 3.-A copy of a secret Turkish circular dated No vember 2S, addressed to the provin- cial authorities and bearing the seal of the minister of the interior. reached Washington today, ordering the forci- ble conversion to Islam of the the few non- -deported Armenians and those who have escaped massacres anad death by privatlons and sickness.
 The non-deported Armenians and those whose deportation has been stopped and who have returned to their homes are to be made converts to Islam, the circular says, and such Armenians who have thus been converted may get back the prop erty which has been confiscated from them. s.-.--f-t
 "All houses of which the Armen ians have been dispossessed should be conveyed to those Armenian wom- tion period have been married to MOhammedans.
 All Armenians who have thus been converted en masse should be allowed to settle in Mohammedan villages and cities where they should not consti- ute more than [ per cent of the Mo- hammedan population"
 Miriam s. Svasly. representative in the United States of the Arpnenian ma : tional delegation to whom the authen- tic copy of the circular was sent. said in discussing the circular:
 The present government of Con- stantinople has not modified in the least its policy towards the surviving Armenians. It is following in the foot steps of Sultan Hamid who was in the nahit Of decorating distinguished foreigners and their wives in Con- stantinoplc while he was organizing massacres in the interior of Asia Minor and Armenia and the Younk Turks, who gave the finishing touch ton.
 Tt would be a delusion to accept any of the Ismpous statements which have been issued from Conostanti- nopie by the sultan and his acolytes. Those who are encouraging state ments of the kind to be published in the American and European press are not serving the best interests of hu- manity and civilization. The sooner the allied and associated powers i'm pose their conditions upon the Turks. the better it. will be for the peace of the world.v

 COURT RULING

DOUGLAS. Ariz.. Jan. 3.-A writ of amparo, equivalent to an injunction, issued by the federal judge at Nogales, Sonora. caused Presidente Julian Con gales of Cananea, to give notice to Chinese merchants that he had with drawn his proclamation ordering them to dispose of their stocks of goods, wind up their affairs and quit the business field by December 3f, 1919. The writ was given added force by the arrival of a detachment of federal cavalry under orders to protect the Chinese in the enjoyment of all rights and guarantees under the tTeaty be- tween Mexico and China.
 As a result of the withdrawal of the proclamation the Chinese are doing business as usual. Trouble was an ticipated January l. but the troops put up so determined front that nothing occurred.
 The Cananea anti-Chinese movement has resulted in similar movements in other towns in Sonora. At NacoZari a baker was forced 10 go out of busi- ness by order of the municipal au- thorities. IL is said to be unsafe for a Chinese to appear on the streets of any of the mining camps or towns after nightfa1l. Several are said to have been beaten while one or two have been shot at, it was reported today
 A messenger reaching Nacozari Friday night brought a report that a Chinese had been hanged by Mexi- cans near Cos, a station on the Naco- zari railroad; a few miles north of Nacozari. A special Investigating party left Nacozari for Cos taking two Chinese friends of the man re- ported hanged. with them. The lynching story was not believed in NacoZari.
 MeNicans are said to hang dummies dressed in Chinese clothing near the homes of Chinese and to give warning that this treatment may be expected by the mer themselves unless they quit the country.

rRepublican A. p. Leased wirel

LOS ANGELES Jan. 3.-Two more ahenists testified fo- the defense in the trial of Harry New, alleged mur- derer of his fiancee, Freda Lesser, giv- ing opinions that New was insane when he shot the young woman near here last July.
 They were Dr. F. B. Hoag and Dr. E. 0. Sawyer. The latter was under cross examination when court ad- journed until Monday morning. !.
 pr. Hoag referred to New as "a con- stitutional inferior and also de- scribed him as a ''psychopathic person. ality.' a man with paranoic symp- toms. and feeble minded person with the brain of child of 12 years or leSS.,'
 Under cross examination by Thomas Lee Woolwfne, district attorney. the witness said that assuming the theory of the prosecution to be correct, Newtu killing of Miss Lesser was not neces- sarily the act of al insane man. Wool wine stated the theory to be that New had killed the girl deliberately because she would not agree to the performance of a criminal operation on herself after he had urged her to that course, fol- lowing her refusal to marry him.
 Woolwine asked Dr.. Boag is he did not consider it strange that if New was insane, Miss LeJ5er, an intelligent young woman, had not ascertained this in the course of a close association of some months The witness said he did not know Miss Lesser but ordinarily he should expect an intelligent girl in such circumstances to learn of News mental unsoundness.
