Attorney General b. X. Wise. Of
New South Wales, has become the
author OF u new law similar to the
compulsory arbitration act Of New

that there will be no more expensive

be that u greater stability will be
given to industry. Employers need

"A man has got to possess q whole lot of control as tEe baseball fans say of the pitchers. when he can keep a cool head with 9 rope around his neck. but the possession of headpiece which would not become heated under any circumstances won a South Caroli- ma man out of just such a situation a few years ago. said a citizen of tho Palmetto state. Ut happened in one oi the small townships. and the South Carolianian, the keeper Of small store was suspected of having shot one of his neighbors, very popular man in the community. from ambush. The circumstantial evidence against him seemed SO strong that the citizens of the township got together one night and decided tO take him from the jail and string him up to tree.
 'They didn't have any bother in get ting him out of the jail. and they led him to a tree a couple of hundred yards from the jail. He was perfectly calm and collected. contenting himself with quietly remarking to the leaders of the lynchers that they were making a mistake.

ARIZONA PATRIOTISM

PHoroGRAPHING MORGAN.

One of the most exciting and ludic- rous chases in the business section of New York occurred during the famous Southern Pacific investigation. The pursued man was J. Pierrepnt Nor gan; the pursuers were seven photo graphers who had been waiting for him for three mortal hours. They were a willy group, these seven. When the financier peeped out of his office door he saw a camera. His detectives as sured him that he might go in peace.
 Suddenly as he emerged into the street. he was startled by a wild whoop of recognition. Seven men armed with big black cameras rushed from around the corner in mad chase. The on- slaught was SO unexpected that Mir. Morgan forgot he was not Q boy again and followed the dictates of nature He ran-ran like mad up Wall street until he reached Broadway, where, like a hunted animal. he took refuge in Q clothing store. Then he sent for po- lice officer to drive the photographers away. But the seven knew no law they only knew MT. Morgan, and that he was in that clothing store.
 The moment he appeared again they were after him. This time he was ready for them. and he merely jumped on a Broadway car. But unfortunately the cars were running close together al that hour of the day. The seven boarded the next car and detailed one of their number minus his Celltale can- era to ride on the front platform and watch their victim.
 Happy and unconcerned, MT. Morgan stepped off his car at Spring street. There was a second wild chorus of yells and the great man turned to see his pursuers once more in full chase. This time he was in the sun. He looked about for refuge-any shady, shadowy spot. Then he galloped for a building with a storm door. At this one of the men dropped his camera and stepped inside the door. He held the knob with a storm door. He held the knob fast. and. while Mir. Morgan was try ing to let himself in, the crowd of fiends made their exposures and got their snapshots
 Another little joke on the financier is told among the down town photograph CTS At the late trial at the postoffice, half a dzen cameras were set up in waiting for MT. Morgan to appear. As soon as he stepped into the courtroom a man made a fiashlight of him. MT. Morgan. seeing what had happened, raised his cane involuntarily; then he thought better of it and resolved to re- sort to law. He demanded that the plate be broken then and there ''in his presence" or he would do terrible things. The photographer demurred, but the millionaire was grimly rigid.
 All right" said the man, and he brought out a plate from a holder and broke it into pieces with many signs, Next day MT. Morgan's photograph ap- peared in gorgeous colorings in daily paper Mir Morgan is still wondering about it. The plate broken was one on which another exposure had been made and not the one of which Mir. Morgan appeared

Tonight will see the opening of the summer season at Eastlake park. From the interest shown by the large ad- vance sale. it is safe to predict that standing room will be at a premium. The play selected by the popular Cur tiss Comedy company, is one that nev- CT fails to please. All the parts are strong, and the piece abounds in re- fined comedy as well as touching pa thos Miss Louise Perrin Lucas, the talented leading lady. will have ample scope to display her histrionic talent in the title role. She enjoys an enviable reputation in parts of the "Fanchon" type. where versatility is the basis of the character.
 Wilfred Lucas, as Father Barbeaud. will also be found extremely clever. His scene in the fourth act with Fan chon will be one of the most touching. as well as one of the artistic hits of the performance. Miss Cummings will be found to be one of the best char acter women ever appearing here, and as Mother Fadet she will make q de- cided impression. The comedy part of the production falls on Joseph Heath cote Thompson. As DiGier, the silly twin brother, he will be found more than funny, being one of the few com edians who can do a strong comedy part without overdoing it. Others of the large cast will be found equal to the demands Of the respective parts. The Three Keltons will delight and amuse all lovers of music and dancing. So all in all one may look for a per formance quite up to the Curtiss stand ard The curtain will ring up at S:SO.
