Declaring the, hanging Of Edgar

lumbia.

rection without further delay" said
Senator Dial, "that the National CAPT ,
punishment which enlightened opin-
lon has long since condemned as bar
barous. and which has been abandon
ed by many OF the States in favor Of
eleetrocution."
Senator Dial declared that while he
favored the death penalty, ait would
be a horrible thing for the Govern
ment to hang a young white boy.
even though the crime warranted it,"
Death should be made as expedi-
tious as possible and as comfortable
stead Of continuing the old custom
of hanging. which Is dreadful to
think about. the Nations Capital
should followe the lead Of more pro-
gressive communities by doing away
with that mode Of capital punish

and so out Of place" he declared

STOCK MARKET DEMoRALIzED.
Many Spectators Sought Money To Pay
Income TaxeS-New Low Levels.

NEW YORK, Dec. 14.-Stock prices
in Wall street were subjected to severe
selling pressure yesterday, the dealings
being marked by two distinct liquidating
movements, the first one occurring at
the opening of the market session and
the secondary reaction taking place in
the last II minutes of trading.
The final drive against prices was
much more drastic and the market closed
in a demoralized condition. Consider
able selling was attributed to the neces-
sity of individuals and corporations to
obtain cash with which to meet tax pay
ments due Dec. Is on Wednesday, but
there was n desire to unload stocks which
could not be traced to tax selling. 1t
was stated that the margin calls which
were sent out by brokers over the week
end nave met with a poor response from
clients, neceSsitating the closing out of
many accounts in Yesterdays session,
Declines extended from > to 10 points
i'm the final break in prices, Royal Dutch
being one of the weakest issues on sell
ing from foreign sources. Southern Pa
cifc was conspicuous with a loss of 4
points in the last hour and United States
Steel recorded a new low on the move

new low record of 1919 and its bonds
were very weak. Reading and other in
vcstment rails dropped substantially and

RiT.

DAhs
WASHINGTON, Dec. H-Repeal of
most of the wartime laws was voted
yesterday by the house which adopted
the Volstead resolution for that purpose
after two hours of debate.
The vote on adoption of the resolution
was unanimous, 323 votes being recorded
as f~avoring it with none opposing it. The
house before taking the final vote ac-
cepted an amendment providing for inclu-
sion Of the Lever food control act among
the laws which the resolution would re-
peal.
The amendment which covers all pro-
visions of the food control act with the
exception Of the section relating to rents
in the District of Columbia, was offered
by Representative Bland, Republican,

to 1877. b
The resolution which now goes to the
senate exempis from repeal only the
trading with the enemy act, the war Fl.

ments, and measures dealing with the Is
suance of Liberty and Victory bonds.
The measure, as adopted, Is practically
identical with what passed by congress
just before the adjournment OF the last
session and vetoed by President Wilson
Republican leaders of the house as
serted last night that adoption of the
resolution was one of the first steps taken
by the Republican majority to fulfill the
campaign pledge to put the country on
a peace time basis.

PTTNEY.

Fire which damaged O.. J. Ranney's
house to the extent of from $500 to $500
was discovered yesterday morning in
that part of the house which is occupied
by Mrs. Helen Phillips by a woman on
her way to work. She rang Mr.. Ranney's
bell and told him she thought the house
was on FIRE. Mr.. Ranney called central,
who notified the neighbors and help ar
rived in time to save the buildings. A
delay of another few minutes would have
resulted in the loss of the building. The
fire caught around the chimney and it is
believed it had been sm~Ouldering practi-
tically all night. The damage was con-
fined principally to one room.

WEATHER ON RANGES

Photographic and mail reports to the Phoenix weather bureau for the past week indicate that a large part of the stock ranges of the district has been covered by snowfall ranging from scattered patches to a maximum depth of eleven inches in the vicinity of Crown King in Yavapai county. The week was not considered entirely favorable for livestock inasmuch as it opened with comparatively low tenn peratures but slight warming up and an increase in sunshine made it more tolerable. Saturday storm of local origin began as rain over the southern valleys and as it increased in strength became over, the higher attitudes a snowstorm of formidable character. Fortunately the disturb ance was of short duration. The con dition of livestock continues generally good in the principal range sections their healthy, well-fed condition en- abling them to withstand the inclem- ent weather. Young lambs in the des- ert sections were not so fortunate as the cold rain caused considerable sui fering, but practically no losses. No losses of cattle are anticipated unless it be of stragglers left in the high al titudes.

MRS. FRED WALLS, JR.
 DIED AT BUCKEYE


 Mrs. Fred Walls, Jr., formerly Miss Buna Eleanor Bayless, daughter of Mrs. G. N. Baty and sister of Mrs John Zalaha, died at her home near Buckeye, Ariz., on Tuesday of last week. She was sick only three days, with spinal meningitis. Her mother and sister were telegraphed to, but owing to the Gila river between Buck eye and Phoenix being so high the messages were delayed and they did not get them until after her death.
 They left for Phoenix Tuesday night, expecting to find Mrs. Walls at hospital, but it had been impossible to bring her there because of the flood.
 The burial was at Liberty church. yard, on Thursday, Mrs. Baty and Mrs. Zalaha being present.
 Mrs. Walls had lived in Flagstaff practically all of her life. She was graduated from the Normal school here in 1913, then taught, the last school of which she had charge before her marriage in Phoenix, two years ago, being at Liberty.
 Mrs. Walls was very popular here. She was devoted worker in the Methodist church, of which she was a member. She was only 28 years of age. There are no children.

PHOENIX-FOSSIL CREEK
 ELECTRIC POWER LINE

The electric line of the Arizona Power Co. reached Phoenix last week after having been under construction for over eight months. It passes through the Black Canyon country tapping some mines that are active and will also connect up with many others that are being projected to start up this spring.
 This line leaves the Fossil Creek Verde Valley route and it is stated the object of this auxiliary service is to provide against possible emergen- cies of the future by making connec- tion with the Roosevelt power line into Phoenix, thereby affording i'm mediate electrical service in case of a breakdown in the north. Also there are many rumors afloat affecting re- lations with the power consuming patronage, but which are mere spec ulation.

CATTLE DIE FROM
 EATING POISON WEED

J. N. Hunsaker, whose cattle range in Leslie canyon, Cochise county, has lost number of cattle from eating a poisonous weed which resembles the "attle weed or peavine. On this &C., count he has moved his cattle from the upper canyon on the forest reserve, where this weed is prevailing. He found lur ter of dead cattle and many others which had evidently eat er of the poison and were showing eff fleets of it, being unable to walk stead- ;ly. At Tombstone recently William Cowan, stated that he had been in formed that a number of cattle had died recently in Miller canyon in the Huachuca mountains and that because of this the Boquillas company had moved number of their cattle away from that locality.

EXTRA SESSION OF
 STATE LEGISLATURE

The date of the extra session of the legislature will be announced about the goth of this month, with the re- turn of Governor Campbell from Washington. For some time past the governor has declared that he would not hold the session until next March at the earliest, with the thought that there might be some matter of grave importance to be considered in addi- tion to the question of ratifying the national woman suffrage amendment.
 Pressure is being brought from all sides, however, to induce the gover- nor to hold the extra session as early as possible, and it is believed he will decide to get the extra session out ot the way at an early date.

The regular Monday assembly this week was conducted by our president, Dr. J. 0. Creager. Dr. Creager took as his subject, "Education;" education as imparted by the teacher, as receiv- ed by the pupil and as acquired out side of any institution of learning. Taking it as whole he defined it as follows: Education is developing from within outward through the ex- ercising of our own activities" Too often the teacher considers it her duty to impart knowledge. If this is her goal the real aim is meaningless to her for knowledge leaves but wis., dom fingers" To emphasize his point plans successfully carried out in an unusual educational plant were cited. The pupils join in thanking Dr. Creager for an instructive and inter- structive and interesting half hour.
