Postmaster John Beatty said he
had been hoping for long time that
this proposition would be brought up.
He said that through the city letter
carriers he was kept well informed
as to the prevailing conditions of

crossings were greatly needed He
said that in some sections of the city
the carriers had TO wade mud up to
their ears to cross from one street
to the other. He did not regard the

which every citizen should be in

 The bride is one Of the most estim- able young ladies of the city. the daughter of Mir. and Mrs. F. W. Sher- idan. She was born in Arizona and has spent the greater part Of her life here. She is well known in Phoenix and has numerous friends in other Arizona towns. The groom has only been an Arizonian about two years. buc he is thoroughly acclimated and has learned that there is no better place to live. He was born in Ciuciu- natl a few years ago. more than tWen- ty-one at least, is a pharmacist by profession and is a very popular em- pIoye of the Brisley Drug company in its Ho-el Adams store.

calm and business like manner stated that he wanted to secure a marriage license. He was informed that he
 would have to apply for such creden-
 tiaIs to the clerk Of the probate court.
 He went immediately to the court
 house and found the clerk absent but
 the probate judge officiating in his stead. It apears that some person who
 feels less kindly toward the young
 couple, than do all those who me- them
 in Phoenix yesterday had put a knock
 in at the office of the probate judge by
 telling that official that the prospective
 groom was not yet old enouSl to Ie-
 gdIly place his neck in the matrimonial
 halter. When asked how old he was
 he replied twenty-One but the court
 explained to him that he must be very
 particular about those things and it
 would be necessary for him to make oath to that effect, WnereupOn he turn ed to the would be bride and said, ''I
 guess they have got ahead of us here"
 He then admitted that he was but nine teen and the young woman of the same age.
 The probate judge felt almost as deeply grieVed as did the young people and refused to disclose their identity when the curious made inquiry later. But it was learned last night that the 
 young mans name is Roy Nichols. It was also learned that d young couple applied to Justice Nelson of Tempe the night before in the hope and belief that he could both license and marry them, but he, like the Paoenix justice, WIS forced by the exactions of the law
 to turn them down. It is thought that | il was the same couple and that both are from Tucson and it is sincerely be- ] lieved by those who met them yester- day that they are not triflers but ar ] iC earnest and if necessary will cherish their hopes for two more long years Lutila they successfully achieve their ambition. They are, Co say the least, ] perseVering and the indications are that they stopped a. every crossroads 1 between Tucson and the capital in the | hope that they might find a magistrate somewhere who was not so pa ticulaT about the fine points of the law.

THE LAWS DEMANDS
Work Hardship on Young People Ol
 RooseveItian Instincts.

A great many people in the world have deplored the fact that they were born a hundred year too late; that 1T they had seen the light of day cen tury sooner, equipped with their pres ent day brains, they would have been better able to keep up with the process sion But when a man misses the mark only two years and that mere trifle is sufficient to work disaster, 1t is to say the least, most discOuraging.
 That is the situation in which young man from Tucson found himself in yeste.d day, in this city. He is rather a tall and more than usually good looking youth and seems at a glance to be well into the tNenties, but ne won't swear to it and rather than perjure himself he loses ais present opportunity for getting married to q very attractive and womanly appearing young lady. The couple drove to the office of d Phoenix justice of the peace yesterday afternoon and the young man in a very

MASONS PLAN
NEW BUILDING
Vote to Spend One Hundred
Thousand Dollars to Erect
a Magnificent Temple
NOTABLE IMPROVEMENT
Structure VIII Be Built on
Lot at the Corner of Four
teenth and Harrison Streets

OAKLAND, April AT the meet
ing of the Scottish Rite Masons In
Oakland last week it was decided that
the order would spend 100000 in
the erection of a new stone temple
upon their property at the corner OF
Fourteenth and Harrison streets
A fine stone building will be erected
on the lot, which is 100 by 100 feet In
size. Part of the property is now oc-
cupied by the order and the balance
let to tenants. The buildings thereon
are all of frame and the new temple
will be a vast improvement over the
antiquated structure.
Although the Scottish Rite Lodge
has only $4,000 in the treasury, the
necessary funds for completing the
stone edifice will be supplied by loyal
members, if necessary. The plans for
the temple are in the hands of j. b.
Merritt, a member of the lodge.

Hoffman Grows Hilarious.

Richard A. Hoffman was arrested
late Saturday night by Policeman
Pearl and booked at the City Prison
on charge of felony embezzlement.
Some months ago L. Adelsdorfer of
the Western Fire Appliance Company,
916 Market street. obtained a war
rant from Police Judge Fritz for Hoff-
mans arrest on a charge of felony
embezzlement. Hoffman had been
employed as a travelling salesman and
was accused of appropriating the COM
pany's money TO his own use. He and
some friends were in a hilarious mood
near the Alcazar Theater last Satur-
day night and blocked the sidewalk.
Pearl told them to move away and
happened to recognize Hoffman, who
was quickly placed under arrest.

FAMOUS LIZ CONTE OAK
ATTACKED BY INSECTS
TENNIS GAMES
PROVE EXCITING
Handicap Doubles Tourna-
ment Oh the Park Courts
Interest Many Spectators

The handicap doubles tennis tourna-
ment played on the Golden Gate Park
courts yesterday furnished some close
and interesting matches, which were
witnessed by many spectators. AS a
rule, the handicapping was good and
one-sided matches were not as numer-
Gus as usual. Two teams qualified for
the semi-finals. They are Harold Ga
briel and Marius Hotchkiss and K. 2.
Finnegan and j. r. Lewis.
BY far the closest match of the day
was the last one played. The contest
ants were Harold Gabriel and Marius
Hotchkiss, the clever academic team,
and A. H. Brabant and Robert Drolla.
The teams met on even terms and the
score proves the Handicapped used ex-
cellent judgment Brabant and Drolla
won the first set handily, but the next
two were exceedingly close. The latter
went to Hotchkiss and Gabriel. The
third set was unusually long. Gabriel
and Hotchkiss led at Al and at 90 and
40-0 but were not declared winners un-
til twenty games had been played The
score was 2-6. 7-5, 1910.
Another match that was almost as
close and furnished better tennis was
that between Carl Gardner and Mel
vile Long and Charles Foley and
Charles Dunlap. The former received
''owe" odds of Is, which many thought
a too liberal handicap. Foley and Dun
lap. despite the odds, almost won the
match. The score was ga, 4-6, 8-6.
The scores follow:
