SPEAKER CANNON
 ON ORGANIZATION
He Believes the Next Congress Capa ble of Handling Its Own Business.

Washington. Nov 24.-Upon return ing to Washington late this after noon for the coming session of con- gress, Speaker Cannon issued a state ment in which he set forth at length that he is in favor of an honest re- vision of the tariff. He added that the people voted for revision and he believed they would get the kind of tariff they voted for.
 As to the organization of the 61st congress, Mir. Cannon said the rep resentatives were capable of doing that themselves
 MT. Cannon said there was no pres ent need of 'fretting" about the cleo ion of a speaker of the house in the sixty first congress.
 E MT. Cannon issued a statement later in which he stated he was not attempt ing to dictate to the house and that through the election of members the people were certain Of having their views enacted into laws. Citing eX- amples. Of hastY action leading to a misinterpretation of public statements, he expressed the opinion that no mis- take would be made next summer in the revision Of the tariff.

Shaw, there is the introduction of a character whose candor is at times in sulting. He tells things in public that most persons would not care to hear in private. Like some of Shaw's char acters the Devil has no manners. He has the habit of telling people awful truths about themselves and relies on his wit to parry the return thrusts. It is one of the problems of the play wright Of this class of modern drama to keep this frank and candid charac- ter from having his face marred by those to whom he addresses his bald remarks. Why shouldn't the Devil have his face scratched by feminine finger nails on the stage just as he would anywhere else? In real life a man who tells woman to keep on ly ing should wear face protector, but the Devil does it and goes unscathed.
 The Devils philosophy is summed up in these epigrams: Be a rascal, but be pleasant rascal. and life that isn't squandered isn't spent.
 The part of the Devil was taken by Harry Leighton. There was just enough of a suggestion of the devil about him and not too much to de- tract from the human element. His eyebrows were made up and there were little suggestive twists of the hair faintly resembling the horns. He is a finished actor and dominated the stage whenever he was on it. While he had little to do C. TOkunaga. who took the part of a Japanese servant played his part in a simple and life like manner. It could not have been better. Miss Laura Hudson. as Jola l, who finally runs away with the artist and Miss lone Bright wore beautiful costumes. The play was prettily stag ed It reflects credit on the manage ment of the theater that such a clever play as The Devil" should be pro- cured for Phoenix.

Gallagher left the witness stand today in the trial of Abraham Ruef and was succeeded by eXSupervisor John J.

 Furey corroborated Gallagher in the main details of the alleged briberies in various franchise matters which came before the board and he testi- fled to receiving his share in all transactions in which money was paid for the vote of supervisors. His direct examination was brief and he was then turned over to counsel for the defense.

A DRAMA WITHOUT
 THE USUAL MORAL
BUT THE DIALOGUE IS CLEVER
 AND WITTY.
"The Devil" Comes to Phoenix and Gets a Warm Welcome at the EIks' Theater.

When the curtain dropped on the final scene of The Devir' at the Elks theater last night a good many people looked just a little bit puzzled. Their demand for a moral had not been as fully satisfied as they expected. They knew there must be a moral, for the New York Times said there was one, for when the artist, through the ''Dev- ills" machnations, calmly took another mans wife in his arms and walked off with her there did not seem to be enough moral left to put in your eye, If any one was really shocked it should be remembered that the play was quite the fashion on Broadway CNew York, not Los Angeles), and that Phoenix with single exception is the metropolis of Arizona.
 If one must really adorn his tale with a moral, there are plenty of other plays not half so clever or entertain ing where the moral sticks out the way it used to in the books we got from the Sunday school library. Nor als. with plays attached to them- are as thick as blackbirds in an orange grove in winter, but plays without morals are as rare as snow in Phoenix and quite as refreshing.
 When we say that there is no moral in "The Devil" we mean that it is not Haunted in ones face. The devil doesn't change his evil ways and marry the artist off to the only decent girl with whom he has social rela- tions as many old ladies of both sexes would doubtless wish. No. indeed. The devil sticks to his job and the artist walks off with the married woman without so much as a How dye do?' to her husband.
 The Devil" is Intensely interesting The framework of the play is strung with epigrams and in places the dia- logue is brilliant It is of the same school as the Shaw plays, though the conversation is less witty. But, like

Even Yuma was down to 36, only two degrees warmer than Phoe- nix, and six cities were entirely miss ing in the morning weather bulletin. It was probably to cold in Baise, New Orleans and Boston for the weather man to get up and make a reading.

MANY POLICE ON GUARD.
Women Suffragists Make a Raid on
the House of Commons.


London, July 1.-Women suffra-
gists assembled to the number of sew
eral hundred in Caxton hall and sent
a deputation to the house of commons
for the purpose of interviewing Pre-
mier Asquith in the matter Of the Inn
mediate granting of the franchise to
women. At the house the members Of
the deputation were met by a solid
body Of police and refused admission.
The premier, in curt message, de-
olined to see the deputation and when
the delegation returned to Caxton hall
their arrival was the signal for a noisy
denunciation of the government and a
decision to collect the full force of the
suffragists for subs demonstra-
tions at the house of commons. Hun
dreds of police are guarding the house
in view of the projected raid.
Later in the day the suffragists as
sembled in great numbers in the vicir-
ity of the house of commons. They
made several ugly rushes on the police
Gordon and refused to dispense when
ordered. A number of arrests were
made.
