The PLANS PROPOSED
FOR new YEARS EVE
Leap Year Suggestions to the Young
Ladies Who Are Really Game.

To avoid so far as possible conflict
of dates and give the most pleasure
to the most people on New Years eve.
Manager Frank Connelley of the Dor
ris opera house. announces that the
performance OF THE College Widow
next Tuesday night will begin one
hour earlier than the usual raising Of
the curtain at the Doris At 7:30 the
fun viii begin and it will be all over
about the time. the people will begin
announced for that date.
In connection with this announcement
the suggestion is made that as 1908 is
leap year. this viii be a splendid OPP
pOrtunity TO start the fun going 1t
is understood that many of the young
ladies have decided to claim their
rights as soon as possible and that the
New Years eve dances will he given
a leap year COlOring: that these young
ladies have already offered their es-
cort to one or another young man on
that blissful occasion. The young
gentlemen in turn must sit quietly in
the parlor and hold their hands until
they are called for by their escorts.
no matter II the girls are delayed at
the club or the office until or or
10 o'clock. The boys would doubtless be
glad to bur the theater tickets and
start the fun early in the evening,
taking in the dance later. but as mo-
dest. and diffident and clinging young
things they cannot do so unless the
girls intimate il.
Now If the latter care to save them
a bit Of dizziness in the early hours
Of evening they will intimate their
willingness to let the gentlemen still
play their accustomed part until after
the show or what is still better. if
the girls want to be dead game they
will buy the theater tickets too. 1t
may give them an idea of what the
young gents are sometimes up against
when the social wires get crossed on
a busy holiday night and the plays
comes too East for them.

TIE ERROR OF NUktZ
Tilt LlQUOR'PURVtlOR
He Carried o. His illegal Traffic Right
Under the Nose Of Uncle Sam.

Francisco NuneZ was examined be-
fore Commissioner tombstone yester-
day on the charge OF selling liquor to
John Wfnn an Indian. He was held
to the United States grand jury. II
Nunez had understood the relations OF
VIM he might have hesitated to en-
gage in this transaction for there was
no other Indian so directly under the
eye Of the United States authorities
who have to do with the prosecution
OF cases of this kind. Winn has been
in the employ Of Assistant United
States Attorney Christy for a long
time
The testimony brought out the fact
that the drunk on which Winn entered
was completed in the city Jail. though
without the express sanction of the
municipal authorities. The Indians,
Wlnn ard Sam Head. said that they
had been approached by Nunrz. who
asked them if they wanted something
to drink. The question was really
superfluous and formal. asked with a
view only 10 open negotiations. Head
and VIM each gave the Mexican a
quarter and he went into a saloon and
passed through into an alley with two
bottles of wine. The Indians met him
there according to agreement and the
wine was turned over to them.
This proceeding was witnessed by
an officer who approached. and Winn
seeing him. dropped his bottle to the
ground. Head hastily stuck his inside
of his shirt whence it settled down and
nestled finally somewhere within his
neither garments. The officer finding
the bottle which had been dropped
by VIM and supposing that to be all
took the Indians TO Jail.
There they We're searched by Cap
tain MDonald of the guard. in the
usual way b. passing the hand quickly
over pockets and usual places Of con-
cealment for weapons. 1t never oc-
CURED to the captain that the Indian
might have had q quart bottle about
his person and it certainly never oc-
CURED to him to make an inspection
Of the Indians ankles. They were
locked up and leisurely proceeded up
on their drunk without fear of inter-
ruption.

ALARMING REPORT
FROM new YORK CITY
II is Not Believed However That the
Story Will Disturb Financial Condi-
tons.

W. A. Giles OF Chicago and Phoenix.
was seen yesterday for a short talk
on financial matters and CONVERSE
ton with him is always interesting.
particularly on that subject. He has
spent a great part of his life in Chi
cago which Is about as active a bust
ness center as anybody cares to get
into, and has always kept in close
touch with business conditions. Mr.
Giles Vas at first quite slow to re-
spond yesterday acting as though he
was is some doubt about the propriety
of talking at this time and otherwise
intimating that there was something
on his mind. He questioned the in
terviewer very closely on local affairs
and when assured that everything was
serene and the future never looked
more bright in this valley he seemed
considerably relieved. Finally he re-
marked that he supposed the latest
disquieting report from New York had
been made public. As nothing sensa-
tional had been brought to the atten-
ton of the interviewer. Mr.. Giles was
so informed and was asked If he
would state the nature of the report
he referred To.
Very gnardedly and cautiously. that
no unnecessary excitement might be
aroused. Mr.. Giles replied that he had
been advised that the New York SUBJ
way is in a hole and that the Brook
lyn bridge was suspended.

ADJUSTMENTS
1.-The College Widow"

When you go to see George AIDES

College Widow" which will be given
by Henry W. Savage's players az the
Doris opera house. Tuesday, Decem-
Der 81. 1907, there is one point, among
many others. which IL way interest
you 10 study. OF course. you will be
thrilled by the football match between
the rival colleges, one OF the most ex-
citing and realistic ever put upon the
stage, you will follow with deep at
tention the charming love affair be-
tween Billy Bolton. the halibaek, and
Jane Witherspoon. the college widow;
and you will enjoy many a hearty
laugh over the pranks of the students.
But. watch, especially. how the char
acters stand out from the canvas. each
real and living personality. Take
two instances. The speeches of ''Si-
lent Murphy are extraordinarily few
in number. perhaps not more than six
in all. Then. Flora Virgins. the
boarding house waitress. She really
has very little to do with the plot.

sort, but how We should miss her

denly eliminated from the piece. When
you leave the playhouse and talk the

A f0R6ER CAUGHT
FOR IHREt OF lenses
Two Brothers Each cashed Checks
Bearing the Name Of Dead Man.

George Halterman was arrested yes
terday afternoon on charge OF issu-
ing q forged check. The warrant for
his arrest was issued on three COM
plants sworn out Of Justice John
stones court By r. ID. Jones, L. A
Jones and the proprietor Of the
American Kitchen. and Halterrnan
was taken into custody by Sheriff
Hayden. Halternan had put three
of the checks into circulation
One of them was cashed by X. ID.
Jones at the Anheuser saloon, one
by L. A Jones at the Casino. and the
third by the American Kitchen. The
checks all bore the name of n. Porter,
who has been dead for a long time,
but his name was for a long time so
familiar that nobody seems to have
thought of that.
One of the checks issued to the
Jones brothers was presented on
Christmas. when there vas no like
lihood of the spurious character OF IL
being discovered. The other nas
cashed yesterday morning and within
a few minutes was found that II had
been forged.
The checks were each for $40. An
other which had been made for 1915
was found in the possession of Halter
man after his arrest. and at his room
at the Doris several blank checks
were found. Halternan, who was
also known TO his victims as
George Grammer, has been in
town for about two weeks. He
said that he had just returned TO this
country from the Philippines where
he had been in the government SER
vice. He is about twenty-five years
OF age. of fairly good appearance and
is dressed moderately well.
Halternan represented that the
money, with which he seemed TO be
well supplied, came from his wealthy
father at Marion, Ind. On Christmas
he said he would start home in a day
or two. He had lived in mild and
tropical climates so long that he had
grown weary and longed for winter;
within a few days he would be in
snow to his knees.
He made acquaintances easily and
created a favorable impression. He
had been a great deal about the sa-
looms where the Jones brothers are
employed. and on various occasions
had borrowed small sums. usually
twenty-five cents or fifty cents. These
sums were borrowed under the pro-
cess known as the rush act" and
they were always paid promptly. So
when Halterman brought in the
checks in a hurry they were cashed
without question.
The fact that the checks bore the
name Of dead man recalls that the
last previous forger who is known to
have operated in this vicinity within
recent months two or three weeks ago
secured money on check which bore
the name of the late Watson Pick
rell.

ANOTHER GUN man
JAILED LAST night
His Only Excuse For Not Killing An
Officer Was insufficient Notice of
Rapid Approach.

W. b. Harris got into trouble last
night clear up 20 his eyebrows from
which he may escape with fine but
if he does he can thank his wife and
Policeman Sullivan for letting him
down easy. Mr. and Mrs. Harris are
recent arrivals in Phoenix and were
stopping at the Vermont. Family jars
were frequent ard the husband began
clamoring for a divorce. Yesterday
Mrs. Harris agreed to let him have his
way about 1t, not fighting the action
he designed to bring. Harris felt so
good about it he got drunk and about
dark last night returned to the YER
mont and started another quarrel A
neighbor reported to the police sta
ton that a man was beating his wife
at the Vermont. and Officers Sullivan
and Perrin went there at once on their
wheels. Sullivan, expecting 10 find
them in the room. most easily reached
by going around the house, started to
do so and just as he turned the corner
he ran into Harris going the other
way. The officers first appreciation
of the meeting was when he felt a As
calibre gun scraping against his waist
coat Fortunately it was a single ac-
ton gun and was not cooked. else there
would now be vacancy on the force.
Fortunately for the other man the Of
ficer was not expecting To meet him
there and did not have his artillery
handy. else there would have been a
funeral instead of a divorce in the
Harris household.
The officer instantly grabbed the
gun and showed it above his head. at
the same time tripping Harris and
planting his knee in his stomach. II
was in this undignified attitude that
officer Perrin found the men when he
caught up with Officer Sullivan Jack
Kersting who lives near by was also
hunting for a hole in the fence big
enough to crawl through SO he could
help the officers. II was later learned
that when the police were summoned
Harris had announced that he would
kill the first blankety blank man who
showed up on the scene, and when he
was finally subdued he told officer
Sullivan it was a good thing he didn't
know he would run into him at the
corner or he would have bored hole
through him first.
The officer preferred charge against
him of carrying concealed weapons,
thinking that Mrs. Harris would pros
ecute him more severely but she stat

A Well Written Article That Will Give
Arizona's Resources Added Publicity

The Chicago Record Herald or De-
cember s, c ntained an article on the
Salt River valley that has undoubted-
~ been read by thousands of people.

another page of the regular city edi-
ton. The article is about two col
umns in length and attention ii furth-
er drawn To it by a quarter page il
lustration Of the Roosevelt dam under

The, article is well written and is
descriptive of the valley. the irrigation
system, the dams for storage and di-
version. the climate, soil. cost of con-
struction of the irrigation work. pro-
ducts that are adapted TO the country,
price of lands. and in fact all the gen.
eral information prospective settler
could expect to get in an article of
that length.
The article is strictly a news story.
so far as an actual description of the
country may be called news. and its
chief value IS that it is published as
such for many large daily papers re-
fuse to print such matter. however re-
liable it is, on the theory that IL will
advertise somebody and do them CoOd.
and it is that sort of matter a paper
depends upon to some extent for its
revenues. The publication of this ar
ticle was secured through the influ-
ence of Mrs. Russell. of The Earth.
the Santa Re publication that is now
devoting mush space to Arizona. The
Earth and Mrs. Russell. have earned
the gratitude Of this valley in their
efforts for the promotion of its wei
fare.

suit of communication from Attor-

that the statements in demurrer are
not in accordance witf law and that
the cases are clearly within the pro-
