MARicoPA co. COMMERCIAL CLUB
 MEETS TONIGHT.

There will be a general meeting ot the Maricopa County Commercial Club this evening, January goth, 1908, al City Hall, at 7:3O o'clock.
 The purpose of the Club, as is now generally known, is to better the con- mercial welfare of Maricopa County
 While the burden of prosecuting this work has been generously assumed by the shippers and merchants, the bene- fits will reach every interest and per- son in the county and tributary coun- try.
 It is admitted that the future devel- opment of our rich district is depend- ent solely on honest railroad rates. just as it must be conceded that our past has been retarded by unjust and ex- orbitant freight charges; therefore the club has wisely decided that their first and supreme efforts will be in the di- rection of putting Maricopa on an equality with other localities; other important work is planned and it can be conservatively stated that the supp port of the club is a duty every loyal business interest owes to the citizens. A brief outline of plans and other questions of interest will be discussed If you are a member, come; if you are eligible to membership, come prepared to sign. F. F. LEEPER, Sec'y.-

Joe Lukin Branches Out in New and

Tempe has a citizen in the person of Joe Lukin who has the affairs of the town and the interests of Arizona at heart. Joe felt the need of brass band a while back, and started the ball rolling. That thing accomplished he turned his attention to the commenda- ble industry of writing poetry-com- mendable in that he chose for his sub jest the advantages of Arizona Joe's poetry may lack a, little, perhaps, in literary style and technique, but it puts forth the right idea. The following he has submitted for publication as sample:

 In Tempe, Arizona, they travel so clear To see how the people live in the

of the fraudulent checks cashed by
him as s27.50 and $40.
When Mrs. Koster was arrested by
Policeman George Powers she gave
her name as Mildred flasher, but later

cashed check at a local bank, and
when it was returned marked mo

had obtained on it by cashing another
worthless check in a Chinese mercan-
tile establishment and depositing the
proceeds in the bank. She is also
accused of passing worthless paper on

Roster was summoned to appear at po-

HARE TO STATE SENATE
V. P. PumpeIIy Charges Ballots
in Twenty-third Were Err
roneousIV Counted

A contest of the election of John P.
Hare, democratic and union labor can
didate, as state senator from the
twenty-third senatorial district, was
filed by V. P Pumpelly in the superior
court yesterday on behalf of John A
McGee. the republican candidate. AT
the same time Thomas r. Roberts, re-
publican filed a contest of the election
of George J. Black, union labor and
democratic candidate, as assemblyman
from the thirtieth assembly district.
The petition Of Pumpelly declares
that in the twenty-third senatorial dis
trict the official count showed that
Hare received 977 votes. MCGEE $40.
and H K. Clifford 109. It is charged
800 votes. while McGee was given more
than 1000. 1t is asserted that through
the negligence, carelessness and mis-
conduct of the board of judges and the
clerks of each Of the precincts" IL was
enormously made to appear that Hare
received the largest vote Men desig-
mated by MeGee to watch the count on
his behalf were fraudulently and
Wrongfully denied that right it is al
legged. The petition is addressed to the
senate, and prays that il order the
ballots to be recounted.
The allegations in Roberts petition
are similar. 1t is asserted that the
official count in the thirtieth. showing
that Black received 531 votes. Roberts
4S3, and William McGillicutty 73. was
erroneous. and that as a matter of fact
Black received no more than $50 while
Roberts got more than $50. The assem-
bly, is asked to order d recount /. j.

common red strawberry, which sur
wives but few months. is the latest
plant creation of Hugo Lilienthal, land
scape gardener and horticulturist of
this city, who is the chief organizer of

depth of winter, and is of perfect form
and favor and much more delectable
than the red strawberry of the mar
kets.
He declared that the berry may be
planted in close rows, which interferes
not at all with its productiveness. A

said. viii keep a small family supplied

THEATRICAL MEN CLASH
OVER "MARRYING MARY
Show Is Booked to Appear at
Princess and American at
Same Time

A clash has arisen in theatrical cir
cles over the production OF Marrying
Mary in this city next month. The
Princess theater advertises a preseata-
tion of the musical play in which Marie
Cahill made a hit last season, and the
American theater has the same show
booked for the same week by a travel
ing company headed by Miss Florence
Gear.
The stock production was to be the
first of the Princess pieces after the
departure of Kolb and Dill, whose con-
tract with the Princess will expire
some time in January.
Florence Gear is booked to arrive in
the melodious and sprigntly piece
January ID at the American theater.
The two shows could not exist side by
side, according TO the ethics of the
stage, and there have been some warm
and readable kilograms between pro-
ducers, play owners and local tnsatTi-
cal magnates over the situation.
1t looks as though Manager Abe
Cohn of the American wins. He wired
to John Court, who supplies theatrical
attractions to the west, asking for
an explanation of the dual sale Of the
The Devil' he wanted to know how
many times it could be sold. Manage
Cort wired back from Seattle that he
had bought the play from Jules Murray
and that he owned absolutely all pro-
ducing rights for Marrying Mary
west of the Mississippi river and that
no other theater could produce it with
out his consent, which consent. he said
he would withhold from the Princess.

year of exceedingly low prices, for the
basis year for its price tables and each
time the Standard attorney, Moritz
Rosenthal.. replied it was because the
governments tables showing increases
in oil prices always start from that
year.
@They do not. That is not true"
Kellogg explained.
I repeat that they do. said Rosen-

Bulb to Heat Pedal Extreme
ties and House Burns

BERKELEY, Dec. 1O-An electric
light bulb placed in his bed to warm
his feet by Delbert r. Crane, leader
of the university band, set fire to the
bedclothes at an early hour this morn
ing and the lives of scores of students,
members of the Ridge Road club at
2534 Bancroft way, were endangered
Crane was awakened from a sound
sleep by the flames. which were con-
suming his night clothes. He shouted
for help and a Japanese servant turned
in the fire alarm. The students in the
clubhouse heard his cries and aided the
firemen in lighting the flames, which
threatened to spread over the entire
house.
By hard fighting the fire was brought
under control, but not before Cranes
room was completely gutted The
blaze was especially fierce on account
of the burning mattress and it was
with the greatest difficulty that the
flames were extinguished.
