DENL- VIRGIN IS NOT ALLOWED IN SOOTY
 CITY, BACK TO N. '.

NEW YORK, Oct. Ct took the police of Pittsburg all last week to make up their minds about 1t, but once they arrived at a decision they moved swiftly and yesterday they or dered Avery Hopwood's new farce, "The Demi-Virgin," which A. H. Woods is contributing to art to shut up shop at the Pitt theater.
 The play had been appearing there since Monday and previous to the mandate issued yesterday no intima- ton of the coming action of the min ions of law and order had been given the management Indeed, no specific reason for the decision was given when it was communicated to Mir. Woods by long distance telephone yesterday afternoon, although it is suspected the police of Pittsburg based their judgment on what they deemed strictly moral grounds.
 In any event, the company left that city for home and will begin a week of rehearsal here at the Eltinge the ater preparatory to starting out again for a visit to Stamford, Asbury Park and Far Rockaway. They are due back in New York for their formal opening the following week if the police don't catch 'em again.
 The cast includes Hazel Dawn, Kenneth Douglas, Constance Farber, Glenn Anders, Alice Hegeman, Homer Barton, Helen Cunningham, Mildred Wayne, Sascha Beaumont, Helen Flint, Mary Robinson and Mary Salisbury.

OFFICERS TAKE HUT STILL
 LIN GRANITEST
Porfirio Jinenez Has Layout Incarcerated in Room With All Chinks Caulked With Paper Until Officers Arrive
cFrom Frinav,s Dailvl

Although engaged in a business for the benefit of section of the public, Porfirio Jimenez of 200 South Gran ite street, did not take any pains to let the public in on his business. In fact little or nothing was known of it until Chief of Police McMahon and City Policeman Dick Twamley strolled into Poffirio's place of busi- ness yesterday shortly after noon.
 Within a short time Porfirio and a hot still were in the possession of the sheriff's office and the arresting authorities were charming themselves with contemplation of Porfirio's premises.
 Jimenez had taken every precau- ton 10 prevent the odor of his corn meal and raisin mash from reaching the outer air. Chinks and window and door frames were caulked with paper. The distillery was as secret to the sense of smell as to such other senses as ordinary persons possess. But by the use of a sixth sense with which peace officers are equipped, McMahon and Twamley were able to ferret out the offending still and its owner.

TEN BILLION BUCKS
 ASSESSED VALUE OF
 NEW YORK PROPERTY

NEW YORK, Oct 6-New York city will pay its running expenses for the year 1922 out of taxes charged upon an aggregate assessment of .$1O,614,9O4,047, according to the esti- mate of Henry M. Goldfogle, presi- dent of the board of taxes and assess ments, made public yesterday.
 Ultimately, Goldfogle admits the sum will be slightly smaller, due to deductions made for exemptions under the housing law and other things, but it will be close enough to that figure to permit budget experts to begin work now.
 This assessment total is made up of $9,947,232,O92 in real estate and $667, ,4SO,950 in personal property, which means an increase of $402,- 594,567 in real estate during the year and $37,4O8,1 100 in personal property. The personal increase would have been much greater, Goldfogle points out, only by legislative action at AL bany the department has been de prived of authority to tax the greater part of personal property as it could in other years.

SILVER DOLLAR
 NUT GREEN SAYS
 STAGE WITNESS

Either Byrns or Snoddy is color blind.
 R. w. Byrns, testifying as wit ness in the bus case, involving a charge of contempt against the Je- rome Union Stage Line, Inc, and its officers, told the superior court Tues day that he had seen Snoddy pay E. J. Flumerfelt bill. Snoddy, testify ing yesterday. said he had given Flumerfelt a silver dollar.
 Was the silver dollar green" sweetly inquired C. C. Norton, coun- sel for the defense.
 MT. Snoddy, a merchant of Clark dale, opined that it was not. He had ridden over with Mir. Flumerfelt; he felt something was due MT. Flumer- felt for his courtesy. Not knowing whether the ride was gratis or not, the witness said, he had rendered the loose dollar with the request that Flumerfelt blow it in" or smoke it up," the witness could not remember which.
 The day was consumed with exami- nation of number of witnesses who told of alleged violations of the in- junction to prevent the Jerome Union from operating for hire vehicles over the state highway. There was again a series of interruptions while defense counsel disputed the right of testi- mony to reach the court and after one passage, Judge Sweeney remind ed all concerned he wanted the case ended by noon today.

.DROUTH WILL OCCUR
 IN ARIZONA EVERY
 ELEVEN YEARS, SAYS
From Fridays Daiiyl

Drouths will occur with fairly regular frequency in Arizona, at in- tervals of seven come eleven-that is, at intervals of between seven and eleven years. This is indicated by researches made by Quincey Handles of the Sitgreaves National forest, and by Dr. A. E. Douglas of the Univer- sity of Arizona. Reports of Douglas investigations were received here yes- terday by H. B. Wales, supervisor of the Prescott National forest.
 During the summer work in timber appraisal on the Sitgreaves forest, Handles discovered arboreal evidence Iof a drouth occurring between 1900 land 1904, and of another occurring between 1887 and 1888. This evidence consisted of simmer annual growth rings on the trees inspected, indicat- ing that the period during which the growth rings formed was one lack ing in moisture. he SltgreaVeS for-
 est lies in the Holbrook territory, east of the Prescott forest and sepa- rated from it by the Tonto and part of the Coconino forest.
 Experiments conducted by Dr. Douglas in this state and California, revealed evidence pointing to the
 same conclusions as those reached by Handles. Through examination ot juniper trees in Arizona and of the
 giant Sequoias, or redwoods, the regular cycles of drouths at periods
 of between seven and II years is
 shown by Dr. Douglas study to ex-
 tend back over a period of at least i2,000 years.

 Inquiries by c. NJ. Colvocoresses. who stated he had attended the meet ing expecting to hear something con- cerning the Sedona road, elicited a statement from Highway Commis- sioner Ben Ward as to the road plans of the commission.
 In about two weeks, Ward stated, the commission will be able to plan its program of construction. The .county engineer, who has just been installed, is at present at the Sedona road, and will report within a day or two concerning further work on that highway.
 President Yount deprecated the oc- icurrence of acrimonious discussions at the chamber of commerce, but said that information is what the taxpay- Iers want, and that the chamber would make an effort to obtain it from those qualified to know.

EMERY CHAPMAN
 LOSES FINGER
 JOINT IN PLANE
First Joint of Middle Finger Is Taken Off Hand in Accident
 While Operating Power Plane at Manual Training Building
CFrom Thnrsday.s DaIlv)

Emery Chapman, l5-year-old son of Mrs. Grace Chapman, deputy in the county recorders office, yester- day lost the first joint of the right middle finger and suffered rather deep cut at the tip of the right index finger as the result of an accident while operating a power plane in the manual training room of the city schools, located in a building on the Washington school grounds. The accident occurred shortly after 9 o'clock yesterday morning.
 Emery, a high school freshman, was attending a class in manual training, and with group of sopho- mores was engaged in work on the power plane, part of the extensive mechanical equipment of the depart ment. He was running thin board over the blade cylinder of the ma chine. Because of its thinness, the board slipped under safeguard, and instead of showing it forward and out of the machine, Emery attempted to draw the board back toward the blade. The board slipped and his hand, holding it, was thrust against the rapidly-whirling blade.
 Dr. H. T. Southworth was called, and when the boy was removed to the Mercy hospital, it was found that the first joint of the middle finger had been cut through the bone, with a semi-circular incision, and that a part of the flesh of the index finger tip had been similarly been taken out by the plane blade. While the bone would have healed back in time, Dr. Southworth said, it would have taken many months and the healing process would have caused the boy much pain. For this reason, it was decided to amputate the first joint. The in dex finger will heal ill a short time.
 The class was in charge of T. B.. Mckee. manual training instructor for the city schools, and his assist ant. E. L. Barnett. The accident was clearly no ones fault, the board simply having been drawn back the wrong way. It is believed that an automatic safety device, operated by a weight, was prevented from operat- ing by Emery's leaning forward against it while holding the board. Had the device been free, it would have shot forward and covered the blade.
 Emery was resting easily last night. His instructors, and City School Su- perintendent s. H. Martin had noth- ing but praise for his bravery during the accident

IDENTITY OF THE DEAD MAN STILL
 TO BE DETERMINED
CFrom Fridays Dailyl


 Every lead followed by the sheriff S office yesterday in the attempt of au- thorities of this county to determine the identity of the dead man found Tuesday near the summit of Copper Basin hill proved fruitless.
 The Columbia, Mo-, lodge of Ma sons wired they had no record of J. L. N.
 The railway company in Texas, whose switch-key the dead man had in his possession, failed to answer the query.
 An inquiry dispatched to the Iver- Johnson Arms & Cycle company at Fitchburg, Mass, by the Journal Miner, giving the number of the fatal revolver - 293O3 - brought only the answer that the company kept no record of sales by serial numbers.
 The discovery of a pencilled name on the back of the box of draughting tools Fred Creswell," was unpro- ductive of clues, although it was felt possibly this name might be that of a former building inspector of Phoenix, who might have owned the set of tools. Efforts to dig Cress- well up last night ended in failure. Meanwhile the coroner's jury had brought in a verdict of suicide from evidence that was produced at the scene of the supposed death.

REWORKS NUT SEEN AT. MEET;
 |. IF [. DUE I
From Friday's Dailyl


 No fireworks were set off at the chamber of commerce last night re- garding the condition, or even the purported uncondition, of the Cotton- wood-Sedona highway, chiefly for the reason that those slated for the stel- lar roles failed to put in an appear ance R. E. Tally was unable to at tend, due to the arrival of MT. Clark in Jerome County Engineer Mo Carthy was absent, as were A. B. Peach and Chris Totten, of the con- struction company doing the work.
 It was stated by the secretary Ill a resume of the status of the highway matter, that the parties concerned the chamber of commerce roads committee, the county engineer and the contractors-had already had a meeting and threshed the matter out satisfactorily A report from R. E. Tally, secretary of the roads com mittee, to the chamber of commerce was read. A report from County Engineer Mccarthy was not read. MT. Tally's report follows:
 I am advised that the Yavapai county highway commission will wei come the cooperation and assistance of the chamber of commerce in their road plans, and also will welcome suggestions and constructive criticism by any taxpayer; but they request that these suggestions be furnished if possible before the work has been started, and in any case before the work is completed.
 It is their further desire to build the class of roads that the traffic warrants, and will use every endeavor to get the highest possible efficiency for the money expended.
 They have agreed to cooperate with one of our engineers, who at all times will be in position to inspect and check all specifications and the actual work in the field. I will there fore be able to make regular reports to the chamber of commeSce on the progress and condition of the work.
 The commission realizes the condi- ton of the Sedona road, and are now preparing to do the best they can with this unsatisfactory job.
 It is to be hoped the chamber of commerce will get behind the new commission, and cooperate with them in every way possible.
 Yours very truly,
 ROB'T. E. TALLY.
 Following reading of MT. Tally's | report. President C. E. Yount out lined the attitude of the chamber of commerce in highway matters. While work on the Cottonwood-Sedona road may have been open to criticism, he said, it had progressed so far that in vestigation came at a late date. No report showed why the road should or should not have been investigated. President Yount stated that the chamber of commerce through its road committee stands ready at all times to take an active part in mak- ing sure that road work in the coun- ty is being properly carried out. One benefit of criticism of road work, he pointed out, is that the taxpayers have been interested, and their desire aroused to be accurately informed

MAXIMUM USE OF TIMBER IN THIS
 SALE IN WALKER

A timber sale in which the maxi mum utilization of timber will be reached, has just been concluded by the Prescott National forest service with J. H. Carmichael, in the Walker district Supervisor Wales and As sistant Supervisor Munro visited the timber section with Carmichael We'd nesday, and yesterday concluded the deal for 100000 board feet of timber, and a large amount of cord-wood.
 The especially striking feature of the removal of the timber, Wales said yesterday, is that every part of the trees will be used, the tops and limbs being cut up into cordwood. The timber will be taken from small section left standing in the early days when most of this country was cut over for mining purposes. Most of the timber will be disposed of to the Sheldon mine.
 Danger of forest fires is obviated by complete utilization of the tree, there being no branches and tops left to catch and spread fire. This slash is often left in the timber country around Flagstaff, where it is difficult to dispose of cordwood even at 10 certs a cord.

CFrOm Fridays Daily)
 The Yavapai Magazine, published and edited by the late Aaron Pow CTS, and considered one of the valu- able publicity agencies of the county, will be continued. This was decided by the advertising committee of the chamber of commerce, in a report presented to the chamber as its meet ing last night.

Brown be made adminis- trator of the Powers estate, is ex- pected daily from Aaron Powers brother in California.
 Fire Prevention
 This has nothing to do with the conduct of the Yavapai Magazine. It concerns the report of Chairman Robert Cornell of the fire prevention committee to the chamber of com- merce last night. A letter received by Chairman Cornell from the na- ticnal board of fire underwriters con- cerning fire prevention, will be read today in the public schools of Pres colt and at St. Joseph's Academy, for the enlightenment of school chill dren regarding fire prevention. Fire prevention day, proclaimed by Presi- dent Harding, is October 10.
 Chamber in Debt
 The chamber of commerce is deep ly in debt-to Frank Foster, chair man of the whitewashing committee, who rendered his report last night. Chairman Foster found that his com mittee has whitewashed the fair ground fence and still finds itself with a balance of $9.14, cash in hand. He wanted to know what to do with the cash. Someone said "banquet" Someone else suggested that the money be credited to travelling ex- penses of the roads committee Fol lowing motion of w. A. Drake, however, the money was voted into the chamber of commerce general fund.

 Reports on the Boulder Canyon irrigation project and the next meet ing of the Yavapai chapter of the American Association of Engineers, concluded the business before the chamber. It was learned that copies of government reports concerning the project had been received by the chamber, including a copy of the Mondell bill. These are on file at the chamber of commerce office.
 The Yavapai engineers will meet in the chamber of commerce rooms Sat urday night, at which time they will be addressed by Guy K. Fansett of the University of Arizona college of mines,' an address which is expected to be of considerable interest to en- gineering and mining men.
