SUBMIT PROGRAM IF
 ACTIVITIES FUR NEW AND FINER PHOENIX

The reorganized chamber of con- merce swung into it's work for greater and better Phoenix last evening at the high school auditorium when more than 100 members of the organization gath cred there to attend the reading of the new constitution and bylaws and to submit suggestions for the future pro- gram of activities of the recreated as- sociation.
 The constitution and bylaws had been revised by special committee since the end of the campaign for an enlarged chamber of commerce. and the results of the work of this committee were embodied in a new constitution which was submitted to the members of the organization last evening. After the revised constitution had been read it w~s adopted with only minor changes, including the addition of min ing to the expressed activities of the chamber of commerce.
 The meeting was presided over by A. c. Taylor, while F. c. Phelps chair man of the constitution and by Jaws committee, was in charge of the dis cussion concerning the new set of rules The community singing with which the meeting was entertained was led by Dr. l w E. Elliott.
 After the adoption of the new con stitution the members collected into I groups under their respective chairmen l to discuss the proposals which each ] aggregation believed should be the first work of the new chamber of commerce l These proposals, which had been writ 1 ten on special blanks, were then col lected and will be used by the new or ganization in outlining a program o1 activities during the year.
 A feature of the meeting was g short address by J. H. BlaclSmore, field secretary of the American City bureau
 who took as his subject the proposition
 that the worth of a city or of g chamber of commerce is to be found
 only in the spirit of the men and women who compose it.
 The proposals which were submitted by the groups included almost as many things to be attempted by the new chamber of commerce as there were groups present. The development O public playgrounds was a favorite witf many. as was an advertising program for the Salt River valley in other part. 1 of the United States. The attempt tt 1 get lower freight rates was also givef
 much attention in the program, as wa, the possibility of bringing main lin, of railroad to Phoenix. The creation
 of marketing bureau was marked or one blank, while another declared tha
 strict law enforcement should engag, the efforts of the new chamber of com merce without delay.

NEGRO HELD WHEN
 DRUG VICTIM DIES

Following the inquest held yesterday by Coroner Henry J. Sullivan over the body of Mrs. Beulah Clay Fields, col ored, who died Saturday night at 719 East Jefferson street from the effects of drug poisoning, Mosely Crawford, colored, was held in the city jail pend ing the filing of a complaint against him by the county attorneys office.

MINDEDNESS IS GREATEST SOCIAL
 ILL, SPEAKER AYERS

The March meeting of the Maricopa County Medical society Was held Sat urday evening in the blue room of the Hotel Adams, where an address was delivered by Dr. V. V. Anderson of the national committee on mental hygiene, New York city.
 As the guests of the committee, there were present a number of club women, social workers. state and county officials, and members of the bar.
 pr. Anderson called attention to the size extent and menace of the problem of eeble-mindedness. He mentiond the clear relationship existing between this condition and most all of our seri- ous social problems: crime. pauperism, prostitution. vagrancy. and the like
 Tt does not seem to be appreciated that feeble -mindedness is much larger problem than insanity, and much mbre serious in it's social conse- quences," he said.
 Dr. Anderson stated that it can be clearly shown that feeble minded per sons neither starve nor go without food or shelter. Simply because we do not see their maintenance coming out of a large legislative budget is no sign that they are not being provided for through the public purses. Have we thought of the loss sustained through the maintenance of the feeble minded persons in our prisons. reform atpries and jails? Have we thought of the great financial loss, due to in cendiarism, burglary and other forms of criminal behavior manifested by the 1 feeble minded? Have we thought of the chronic dependency of this class and of the provision that has to be permanently made for them by churches, social organizations, county supervisors, friends, relatives and neighbors, and from strangers. by beg ging? In short, it is not a question ol whether we want to pay for feeble mindedness; it is question O. whether we wish to pay intelligent, in terms of prevention by providing training and supervision of this class so that they can be made self lf-support- ing. and society protected from theil depredations, or whether We wish tt pay unintelligently in terms of courts
 prisons, jails industrial training schools, almshouses and suppor
 through social organizations.
 Millions of dollars are being need

Morpheus Arms
 Claim Him While
 House Legislates

The sleeping" members of the house-he who was presented with a miniature bed few days ago sIumbered gently through the first part of yesterday afternoons ses- sion Voices might thunder and re- verberate around him, but he did not allow them to disturb him m the least. There was nothing on his mind to interfere with his sleep, and nothing around him should be al lowed to.
 He sIumbered on through the reading of each bill and through the discussions which foiIowed-awoke with a start when he heard fIs name called, to murmur Aye or "No," as the occasion required, ana dropped back into sweet somnolenee again.
 GradutIiy the house worked it's way through a ream of business, and came on to the omnibus bull. Something-no one will ever be able to tell what-awoke the sleeping gentleman with a start. Perhaps his position had grown irksou1e, or perhaps a pin might have been ad-
 roitIy used. No one knows. At any
 rate, he came to with start. looked
 around to make sure that his little map" had not been observed, and
 stretched himself to .aet the kinks out of his back. After this he must
 have caught the drift of the in tense discussions which was going on around him, for he suddenly smiled with beatific self confidence. and rose to his feet at the first sign of iuII in the strife.
 With as much sang froid as any of the hard working legislators around him, he now proposed an amendment to the bill and sat down. The fact that the amendment would have cut off an allotment to a neishboring county, and that it was defeated by a majority vote | made no difference to him. He was | awake and on the iob-he had done | his duty as legislator.

Cotton Thieves In Dillon.-It is evil
dent that somebody has great faith in
the future of cotton. Since he has
been in office Sheriff Bethea has been
compelled TO devote the most of his
time to running down cotton thieves.
AS one Dillunitc observes, il is cheap
er TO steal ii under present conditions
than to make it, and that may in Il
measure account for the numerous cot
ton thcfts OF the past week.
4. V. I5cthca had three bales stolen
Just after Christmas and last week
three more bales disappeared. The
matter was reported to Sheriff Rcthca
who took up the trail and arrested
Pete Bethea, Matthew llins0n and
Sue Mcfarland, all colored. They are
in the county jail awaiting the tcbru-
AIRY term OF court.
Miss Mary Carmichael lost four
bales last week. and Bubhcr Stack
house, Barney Stackhousc. Grady Blue
and Leno Breedcn are in the county
Jail charged with the crime. The Of
ticerS have reason to believe that Pete
Stackhousc. who is charged with be-
ing directly connected with the steal
! ing of Mr.. 4. V. l3ethea's cotton, Is
implicated in both thcfts.
Stolen cotton has been sold on tho
Dillon market lately and recovered

ing 70 take cotton unless they have
| good reason to believe that it was nc.
