WHAT. THE ADVANCE
AGENTS SAY
Just Out of College.

The production of "Just Out of Col
lege, a comedy from the pen Of
George AIDE, the famous author of the
college Widow" will be given at the
Metropolitan theater on Tuesday,
September 20. The play is filled with
people who are met every day wait
ing for the elevator in any of the
big Office buildings, and Mr.. AIDE en-
dows almost all of them with the Bit
ing wit which in real life only apper-
tains to three or four in every such
group. The result Is q riot of bril-
liant lines which are funny and are
something more; they are character
istic of the people who speak them
and of the wild scramble and rush of
American life. Every auditor who
goes to business recognizes his or her
Office mates and street car acquaint-
ances across the footlights. That be-
ing so it is inevitable that the string
of episodes should be received with
shouts of laughter.
The piece centers about one Of those
smooth and easy young Americans
who has the nerve to play poker or
the ticker with his last dollar. In his
latest work Mr.. AIDE brings out the
humorous side of the adventures Of a
young college graduate. who must
make his own living, handicapped
with a lady love and a lack of funds.
He persuades3 the father of the young
lady to lend him $4,000 to invest. The
father is "a dealer in pickles. The
college boy starts in to manufacture
pickles on ,his own hook and with the
aid of business woman succeeds in
forcing the old man to buy him out,
thus showing his ability and winning
the daughters hand. The satire is
complicated and filled with humorous
situations that are appreciated by
everyone. The sale of seats starts
on Monday moaning at the box Office

NEW COUNCIL AT DOUGLAS SAYS POKER PLAYING IN
 SALOONS TO BE STOPPED

DOUGLAS, June 4.--One of the last official acts fthe retiring city marshal, ]. l.. Stambaugh, was to order one O. his men to advise two or three saloon men to "cut out' poker games, which, it is known, have been running more or less openly for few days. The city council several months ago passed an ordinance designed and intended to put an end to that sort of public gambling, but here pf late ono could hear the un- mistakable click and chatter of poker chips from behind closed doors in at least two or three saloons. When this state of affairs was brought to the at. tention of Mr. Stambaugh he took ac. ton.
 Poker playing in private rooms re- moved from saloons has been more or less in progress since public gambling was abolished. but it is held that the players under such conditions are not amenable to any law on the books. However, poker playing in saloons IS prohibited and there seems to be no dis position npon any body's part to wink at the practice.

KosTERLITZKY's DAUGHTER
 DETAINED FOR BEING IN THIS COUNTRY ILLEGALLY

DOUGLAS, June 4.--Mrs. Adolfo Ranuet, a daughter of Colonel Emilio Kosterlitzky, the famous commander of the Mexican rurales was detained here by local immigration authorities and yesterday was taken to Tucson from which place she will probably be sent back to Mexico. Mrs. Banuet is sufferer from tuberculosis in an ad- vaneed stage and was not permitted to enter this country because of her con dition, the inauguration laws being strictly prohibitory against such per sons entering the United States.
 Mrs.( Bannet applied for admission at the local immigration office on May 2l but her application was denied. On May 2S she crossed the line in care of an attendant and while in Douglas stopped at the Mission house. There she was detained by the immigration men until sent to Tucson yesterday. The federal officials at that place will pass upon her case.

EQUALIZATION BOARD MEETS
TERRIOTORIAL TAX BOARD IN SESSION AT PHOENIX or CON- SIDER ASSESSMENT OF RAIL. ROAD PROPERTY.

PHOENIX June 4.-The territorial bord of equalization met Monday in the office of Auditor Sims Ely, for the pur- pose of fixing the taxes upon railroads within Arizona for the coming year. All of the members were present, com. prising the following, Charles F. Slack of Tucson, representing the first judicial district; Charles Bowman of Tombstone, representing the second dis. trict; Frank H. Parksr of Phoenix, rep. resenting the fourth district; Charles F. Solomonville, representing the fifth district, and Auditor Sims Ely, who is auditor and ex.oflicio chairman.
 The equalizers met at 10 O clock and got to work at once. It is not expected however, that anything will be done for three or four days. All of the mem. bers of the board had figures and facts to submit, and the consideration of these will occupy some time.
 The procedure of the board is to first arrive at valuation and assess those roads subject to taxation, and later to place valuation upon those lines ex- empt from taxation. The latter is done that the figures may be used in com. piling statistics so that when the terms of exemption run out the board may have reliable figures for reference.
 Last year the valuation of all the railroads in the territory was raised ap- proximately 22 per cent. The roads sub. ject to taxation paid taxes upon $$s,- 0,604.50 for l097 and $7,324, ,500 for 1906.
 The Pullman company was assessed for $9,04l ,0ss.ss, and the non assassable roads valued at $l7 .773, ,l50.ss.
 It is not likely that the fgureswill be raised as much this year as they were last.

On special train carrying brass band and decorated with flags and ban ners. the delegates to the next demo- cratic territorial convention from the counties of Gila. Graham. Coehise. Pima. Pinal and Santa Cruz will journey to the convention city in the north, if the program uotlined yesterday by Hon. .Chas. A. Hoff is carried out.
 NIT. Hof was caller at the office of M. O. Bicknell. district passenger agent. yesterday and left some esti- mates for rates to be made for a special train. It is Mir. Hoff s idea to have the special train made up at Bowie station and meet the delegates at that point from Graham and Gila counties. At Benson the Cochise county delegation. forty-seven strong would be added to the number and at Tucson, Pima and Santa Cruz would board the special del. egates train. At Casa Grande it is the intention to invite the Pinal delegation to join the train and at Maricopa to add the delegation from Yuma.
 It is generally understood that the territorial executive committee which will meet within few days will fix the place for the meeting of the conven- tion at Prescott. There is a strong sen timent among the democrats of the ter ritory favoring an early convention and probably the first week in August will sec the democratic convention in ses- sion again for the purpose of nominat- ing delegate to congress.
 A special train bearing the delegates from the southern counties to Prescott would be the opening of the democratic campaign and would no doubt create a great deal of enthusiasm along the route.
