EASTERN SUGAR GO.
Its Affairs in the Hands
 of Receivers
They Will Take up the Work at the Point at Which the Company Failed and Carry Out its Aims.

A movement has been begun to put the rather discouraging affairs of the Eastern Sugar company into better shape. The construction of the com pany's factory near Glendale has been at a standstil for more than three months and inquiry as to the cause of the suspension elicited no satisfactory explanation. It was early rumored that the company had become badly involved and that it had found it inn possible to raise money to carry on it's work. It had entered into contracts with many farmers of the valley for the planting of beets and it had made contracts with others for the furnish ing of land for the use of the company. part of this land. but perhaps not one tenth, had been paid for by the preferred stock of the company. Al together the outlook was not very promising for the valley or for that part of il which had become identified in any way with the enterprise which had promised so much at the begin ming.
 Now the business is in the hands of receivers who are empowered by tn" courts to proceed to carry out the aims of the company
 On December 1 a suit was begun against the company in the United States circuit court for the district of New Jersey by Thomas Murphy, The Murphy company. Ltd and George w. Kretznger of Detroit and Chicago on behalf of themselves and the other creditors and stockholders of the company for the appointment of a re- ceiver for the company and for other relief In the bill of complaint it was stated that the company had an authorized capital of S1,20O.G00 of which $SO0,OOO was common stock di vided into 5000 shares and S40OOOC preferred stock in shares of S1O0 each.

 Old-fashioned crape lisle is used for the greater part of the neck ruchings for costumes of heavy fabric.
 Trimmings on evening skirts this year are noticeable toward the middle of the garment. The lower edge is often finished with a single hem a few inches in width.
 Chiffon lends itself so admiringly to the present treatment of evening sleeves that it is often used for this purpose in gowns of net, lace crepe de chine or other materials.
 Tulle, net mousseline. chiffon. crepe de chine, crepe de Paris and lace are favorites for ball gowns. The demand for these fabrics has brought out a number of lovely novelties in tulle

AN ESTATE IN CONTEST
Mrs. J. C. Archer is Called East by
 Threatened Litigation.

Mrs. J. C. Archer widow of the late Dr. Archer who spent last winter in Phoenix, left on Tuesday night for her former home in St. Joseph, Mo-, called by a telegram from her attorney in the matter of a large estate left by the father of her husband.
 The elder MT. Archer was a resident of Kansas City and very wealthy. He died short time before his son and it was understood that he had left the whole of the estate to him, There had been no administration between the time of the death of the father and that of the son and there has been none since.
 pr. Archer was an only son but his father had several brothers and sisters. Had the doctor lived there would have been no contest over the estate, but upon his death the brothers and sisters of the elder MT. Archer began to try to establish their rights as heirs.
 Stubborn litigation is now impend- ing and it is for that the attorney for Mrs. Archer has summoned her east. She is confident that her rights in the estate will be established. As the mere widow of Dr. Archer she would under the laws of Missouri be without standing against the brothers and sisters of her husbands father. She has, however. child which in the natural order of things becomes the heir to whatever property may have belonged to the doctor or whatever may have come to him by inheritance.
 Mrs. Archer had intended to remain in Phoenix for the winter and would probably have made this city her home. At any rate she will return next win ter or upon the settlement of the liti- gation

EMPIRE THEATRE.

The Duchess Du Barry was presented
at the Empire yesterday by Katherine
Rober and her stock company. This play
has been widely heralded and owing to
the success which Mrs. Leslie Carter has
made In the title role there was a large
and interested audience at the Empire
last night TO witness Miss Rober in the
part OF the little mllliner. who became
the mistress OF Louis XIV of France and
welded such power during a portion of
that monarchs reign.
The costuming OF that period was very
rich and beautiful and in Miss Rober' .
production was carried out with the COM
pleteness that has characterized her pro-
ductions this season
The scenery, too was excellent and dur
ing the course Of the play there were
scenes OF great beauty due 10 the har-
monious blending OF the silks and satins
which both sexes wore at that period,
with the handsome backgrounds and made
pictures that appeared to be taken from
paintings OF the time of that ease-loving
court.
