Subjects of interest to teachers were discussed at general faculty meeting of Prescott city school teach CTS, held at the Washington school Tuesday afternoon. The meeting was called to order by City School Super intendent s. H. Martin, who spoke briefly on administrative matters.
 "The Teachers Plan," was the title of a subject interestingly presented by J. K. Wade, principal of the Washington school MT. Wade stressed the importance of daily, monthly and semester plans for each subject taught, and urged teachers to keep their plan books abreast of their work.
 Miss Louise Perritt, city school nurse. discussed the need of co-opera- ton in obtaining healthful citizenship, and in school health work, which she discussed under four heads: Health habit education, correction of physi- cal defects of pupils, control of com municable diseases, and first aid. Co., operation by the teachers ill the e. I" can campaign inaugurated by the Monday club, was urged by Miss Perritt
 An interesting talk was that by Miss Mary Dillingham;, modern Ian guage instructor in the high school, who returned this year from Spain, where she attended a summer course at the University of Madrid Miss Dillingham; told of her impressions of Spain and related incidents of her visit to the French battlefields. Views of points of historic interest she visited contributed to the vividness Of her remarks.

CFrom Thursdays Daily)


 Gee, an Indian, tor by no other name is this young Navajo known to the government whose ward he is one of (style modelled after Cohen), yesterday pleaded guilty to having broken into the postoffice at Fort Defiance with burglarious intent and achievement.
 Brought down from the Navajo country by Agent Peter Paquette, Gee quickly admitted the matter laid against him by the white folks over at the federal court and was re- manded.
 One continuance-the Rupe case yesterdays trials and the plea of Gee, left the federal courts criminal docket with but the two cases Rivera and England, one of which is, to judge by the speed achieved yesterday, all but finished. Both cases will probably be finished this morning and both involve liquor charges.
 Following the criminal cases, a number of personal injury suits in volving the two big Jerome mines, will be tried On or about October 22, Judge Neterer will go to Phoenix to assist Judge Sawtelie in clearing his docket.

Jerome 'Hombre Santo" Well Patronized by Credulous Ma tives, Despite Usual Scarcity of Cash, Says V. C. News

Although dozens of Mexican fam lilies in Jerome can hardly keep body and soul together and, in fact, some of them lived on charity .tas long as it was forthcoming, an itinerant "healer" from the land of manana is doing nicely, thank you, by imposing on the credulity of the ignorant, says the Verde Copper News.

 any patrons of the local fistic pas time who remember Denny's three panting rounds against the W. k. bruiser, Tall Johnson, would have
 been inclined to agree that so far as boxing was concerned, he needed something's stimulant, possibly. Denny was freed of the larceny charge by direction of the court after C. C. Norton had moved a dismissal on the grounds the government had failed to connect him with the theft of the drug. The jury accepted the case finally, with the issue of dealing or possessing morphine as the only issue and after some little delibera- ton, agreed on a verdict of acquittal.
 Henry was confronted with two notes he was said to have written to Harrington during their incarceration, and in each, he offered to "own up" to having placed the dope" in Bar rington's suit case in Barracks 5. In one note the offer was made con- tingent upon payment of SIPS but the 15-year-old boy denied having written this amount, or any, i'll the note he had sent by his pal in the es- cape, Francis Colgate, the Indian youth who was in for horse stealing.
 C. H. Miller, chief guard, testified to having arrested Darlington and later to having searched his suit case and finding pill-box with 90 one eigth grain morphine sulfate tablets. These he turned over to Colonel Robert H. Stanley who testified to having ill turn delivered them to H. P. Barnes, United States narcotic in spector, who then identified the box and the pills for evidence.
 MT. Ensminger told of having missed 40 eight-grain tablets of nor phine sulfate and also 127 grains in the form of morphine cubes. The boy had said he had delivered some of both to Harrington.
 Burlington took the stand as ,the only defense witness and denied earnestly any connection with the case. He said he had picked Stans- field up while the boy was dirty and lousy and had loaned him clothing, giving him access to the suit case. The boy used to eat at the diet kitchen where Burlington. was em- ployed as a cook and after the boss lady there had baked over this proposition, had told Henry to beat it or they would both get in trouble. The boy beat it but, the witness in- timated, gave signs of resenting this interference with his victual rights.
 Argument was completed in less than 20 minutes and Judge Neterer presented the jury with concise argu- ments that went for the most part to a dissection of the evidence on which the court had just based its ruling discriminating between the two charges.
 During the selection of the jury, none of the first 12 of whom were 1 Judge Neterer interrupt ed blanket question by Mir.

NEW YORK. January 2S.zMount
Everest, the Himalayan peak called
tho roof Of the world" which Sir
Francis Younghusband, the British
soldier-explorer. will attempt to climb
next summer. has never yet been
scaled by man.
Towering above the frontiers Of the
hitherto forbidden land Of Tibet and
another land Of mystery. the Difficult
ties in even approaching Mount Ever
est have been sufficient to battle sx-
plorers.
The worlds highest peak lies north
Of the British Indian border, yet, so
far as known. no European has ever
approached nearer than sixty miles
from its base and few travellers have
ever seen its upper slopes.
Approach More Accessible.
The attempts which have been made
to ascend some of Mount Everest's
sister peaks of the HimalayaS have
usually been made through Nepal be-
cause access to them through Tibet
was not open. The approach to Mount
Everest through Tibet is said to be
more accessible and spresent greater
prospects of success than from the
Nepa1 side.
Sir Francis Younghusband announc-
ed that the Tibetan government had
granted him permission to attempt
the ascent Of the mountain by the
Tibetan route. 1t was Sir Francis,
who. as colonel commanding q Brit
Lhasa in 10000. opened Tibet to civ
ilixation.
Mount Everest, named for Sir
George Everest, famous British sur
veyor general Of India. is the highest
known mountain in the world. It's
tri1onomefrical altitude ia 90 O02 foot :.
its probable height is 29.141 feet. The
next known highest of the Himalayan
peaks are Kinchinjunga, 2S.225 feet,
and K-2, or Bride peak. whose alti-
tude is 2s.1s1 feet.
World Record by Abruzzi.
The intrepid Duke of the Abruzzi,
who reached the top of Mount St.
Elias in Alaska (1s,a24 feet) and who
At one time held the record of Earth
to climb K-2, or Bride Peak, in 1909,
but failed, because from whatever
point Of the compass he advanced he
could not find way to the summit.
At 1880 feet he and his companions
were in good physical condition, al
though progress was slow and labo-
rious. A thick mist warned them that
to go on would have been madness"
This achievement of the Italian ex-
plorer. however. is the worlds record
for mountain climbing. Bride Peak is

sides it and its two higher sister
peaks, there are in the Himalayas no
less than seventy-6ve peaks above

Continued from Page One
them to go home before coming here
the conference may be held later than
November II.
Japan's unconditional acceptance.
which is taken for granted, probably
means that she has been somewhat re-
assured about the scope of the Fur East
conference by communications with this
Government and with the European
Governments which have taken place
since the informal invitation was sent.
From Toxic as well as from London
comes the word that the conference will
discuss general principles and policies
rather than details of the Far East.
VIII the Shnntung question come up? ?
Certain factors operate against its
doing so. Shantung went to Japan in
accordance with secret treaties with
England, France and Italy when Japan
entered the war. The position Of these
Powers at the Paris Peace Conference
was that they were bound by their
treaty obligations. 1t will probably be
the same in Mr.. Uarding's Far. East =
crn conference. If it should be the
United States will be In minority of
one in wishing to raise the Shantung
issue in its broader aspects.
SOueut new AGREEMENT
From authoritative sources both here
and in London it is learned positively
that the main object in calling the Far
Eastern question to the front was to get
rid of the Anglo-Japanese alliance and
substitute for it an understanding
among the leading nations having in
tprests in the East for the preservation
of peace in the Pacific, for the main
tcnance of the open door and for the
development of China with due regard
to her rights as a nation.
These are the general policies and
principles Of which Toxic and London
talk. When the conference meets the
lnited States will be somewhat in the
position in which Japan is today. If
thc European Powers plead their treaty
obligations regarding Shantung the
'nited States must either break up the
conference or admit their validity. She
will be no more free to break up the
conference than Japan is to stay out of
1t now.
The advantages to be gained in the
substitution of an international policy
in the Far East for a japanese policy
there backed up by an alliance with
England will be too great for this coun-
try to be too insistent with regard to
Shantung II is probably considera-
tions like these. supported by assur-
ances that the conference will discuss
general policies and principles. which
make Japan ready to accept the invita-
| tion of Mr.. Harding unconditionally.
