MEXICAN LABOR NOW
 IDLE IS A MENACE
(From Sundays Daily) Journal Miner Capital Bureau)

PHOENIX, Jan. 22.-With from 15.CO0 to 10000 Mexican 1aborers out of employment, without food, proper clothing or shelter, and with out means to take them back to Mexico, with unpaid claims for this labor running into the thousands of dollars, and with the Arizona cotton growers unable or unwilling to rem edy the situation. a condition of af- fairs has been created in the Salt River valley, according to Gonzalo Cordoba, Mexican consul here, which presages a general uprising, unless prompt action is taken to avert such a calamity.
 Cordoba has laid the matter before Governor Campbell and stated today his intention of wiring the depart ment of labor at Washington. The labor in question was imported from Mexico by the cotton association, under a contract agreement with the Mexican government it is stated, which provides for the return of these people to their homes when their services as cotton pickers are no longer required.
 Inasmuch as the department of labor was instrumental in permitting the importation of pickers to help cut the industry of the valley, Cor doba will look to this department for relief, believing that the cotton growers association, its officers and members can be compelled to straighten out the situation.
 All day long the office of the con sulate is thronged with sad-eyed men and women, most of them with babes in arms who have come to plead their individual cases and to ask some measure of relief, even if on.y temporary. Any disinterest- ed person who could spend half an hour of his time in this office to hear these complaints" said the con- eul would be convinced that the sit nation is terrible in the extreme.
 Whole families are suffering from want of food" continued the ofii- cial. There is much sickness, and because of the scanty shelter pro vided in most instances, the fatali :ies are numerous. In some in stances the tents supplied by grow CTS nave been taken up, leaving the pickers to drift by themselves. Hun

PHOENIX. - Representative of the Phoenix High school, Tempe High, Tempe Normal, Glendale High and Mesa High met at Tempe Saturday evening to discuss plans for school athletics during the coming months. The question of holding a track meet was taken up, but after considerable discussion the school athletic directors failed to reach a satisfactory agreement and a com mittee composed of the delegates from Tempe Normal, Mesa High and Phoenix High, was instructed to formulate definite agreement for a valley track meet to be held early in April.

Florence is will ing to play open dates and the Evans school also expressed de sire to compete on open dates, but not as a member of the league.

MIR. AND MRS. CLARK TO
 MAKE HOME IN PHOENIX
OFrom Sundays Dailyl

After a residence of B years in Prescott, two of this city's most prominent and valuable citizens left yesterday, when Mir. and Mrs. Elias $. Clark boarded the afternoon train for Phoenix, where they will make their home, and where Mr. Clark will continue his lifelong profession of the law.
 Mr. Clark, native of Maine, was first admitted to the bar ill 1893, under Judge Hawkins in Coconino county, where he occupied the of flee of district attorney from 1897 until 1899. He left that county in 1899 to make his home in Prescott.
 Coming to Prescott, Mir. Clark as sociated himself with "Bucky" O'Neil in the publication of "Hoof and Horn," the famous old livestock magazine formerly issued in this city. He later affiliated himself with the Journal-Miner, and year later moved to Flagstaff, where he re mained until 1902
 Returning to Yavapai county in that year, and once more making his home in Prescott, Mir. Clark filled the office Of district attorney from 1908 to 1905, and from 1905 until 1909 served as attorney general. Among other positions Of influence and honor that he has held are those of supervisor of the census in 1890, city attorney of Prescott during the administration of then Mayor Harry Heap, and, for the last two years, head of the Frontier days celebra- ton, with which, he said yesterday, he expects to remain identified, though no longer as its head.
 Since the organization of the cham Der of commerce of Yavapai county, ten years ago, MT. Clark has been among its most active and efficient members. He was the fifst charter member of the organization which has accomplished so much, in it's short but effective life, receiving the first certificate of membership issued and during its entire life to date has been either a member or chairman of various of its committees. During last year he was given the highest honor in the command of the cham Der Of commerce, its presidency, and would undoubtedly have been re- elected to that position, had not his plans for the future prevented.
 'I wish you would convey to our friends in Prescott, through the Journal-Miner," Mir. Clark said yes terday, "our real regret at leaving a place that has been our home for so long, and where we have spent hap oily large share of our lives"
 Prescott, in its turn, regrets the leaving of two who have been among its most esteemed and philosophical citizens. and who have contributed so much to the upbuilding Of the city and county for which Mir. Clark yes terday expressed the liveliest hopes.

CEREMONY OF PROFESSION
 AT BALTIC CONVENT

The ceremony of profession to the sis terhood at the Academy of the Holy Fam fly. Baltic, Wednesday morning was solemn and impressive. Several years novitiate precedes this. the last of the ceremonies in the preparation for nuns.
 The ceremony was held in the Academy chapel which was beautifully decorated with white roses, carnations and lilies Bishop John J. Milan officiated, assisted by Rev. Wm. O'Brien, pastor of Baltic and Rev. A. Jalbert, assistant pastor Many of the clergy, from neighborfng cities were present as well as relatives and other friends of the sisters
 In his splendid address to the sisters during the ceremony Bishop Milan en- phasized the Tcbility of their calling and the far-reaching influence which they. as teachers or nurses, wielded in training young minds to reach out for the best and noblest things in life, or in giving aid and solace to suffering humanity, standing so frequently in need of the ten der ministrations of gentle nurse.
 The bishop told the sisters that since the days of the apostles women had been found instructing the mind and caring for the bodily needs of mankind. and that the world recognized and appreciated the great work the Sisterhoeds of Charity were doing; that in their vocation they were called upon to exercise all their tall ent for their Master Who had said Come follow Me- What ye do to the least of these, My brethren, ye have don unto Me.''
 Bishop Milan after inspecting the build ing and classes, pronounced himself well pleased with the progress the school has made.
