When he first took his seat in the national house of representatives he had the dis tinction of being one of the youngest members of that body.

BOYS ADMIT THEFT OF MONEY FROM
 ACTRESS
SPENT TWENTY HAVING A GOOD TIME-JUDGE LEWIS WILL
 ATTEND TO THEM

By the arrest of Willie Norwood and Johnnw Norval. better known as Dyke Allen. both juvenile offenders, the theft of s20 bill from handbag belonging to Mrs. Willis G. West at the Ma. .jestic theater, was cleared up yester. day.
 AS the officers had well grounded sus- picions of the guilt of the youngsters, which were heightened by the fact that both boys were plentifully sup piled with money, after the theft, the pair were unable to remain at liberty more than one day after the theft was committed.
 Placed in custody yesterday and sec ing that they were eornered, the boys talked freely about the affair.
 NorwoAd seems to have been the in stigator of the theft. He saw the money placed in the hand bag. He told the Allen boy where the money was located and the latter rifed the bag of tho $20 bill, leaving two s5 bills unmolested.

FIREWORKS BARRED 0N FOURTH IN

YOUNG AMERICA WILL BE RE sTRIcTED IN DEMoNsTRA-

MANY MATTERS SETTLED AT AL DERMEN's MEETING LIST
 EVENING

Fireworks of any kind, whether fire crackers, noisy canes, nigger chasers, pinwheels, rockets, Roman candies, or any other noise making paraphernalia, are tabooed on Broad street during the Fourth of Jul ycelebration this year.
 The city council discussed the matter long and ardently last night. For a time it looked as though the young America of Globe would have to go to Miami or some other spot outside of the city limits to discharge fireworks of any kind, but the city fathers, final ly remembered that they had been kids themselves and compromised by passing an order to the effect that DO fireworks should be set off within the special fire limit. which includes Broad street from the Gila Valley depot to Banker s garden and the adjoining district, half block east and one block west
 To preserve order in the city, Chief of Police Bob Anderson was allowed two extra deputies for Sunday and Monday.

EIGHT HOURS FOR MINERS

LONDON, July l.-The law limiting the workday for miners to eight hours came into operation today. The passage of the measure was 8 notable victory for the miners organization. 1t was strongly opposed by the mine owners, who argued that it would mean a ser. ious limitation of output, and would consequently react not only on the Brit. ish manufacturing industries, but fur ther would be serious blow to Brit ish shipping industries.

CROWLEY CITY WILL HAVE BIG TIME
 0N FOURTH
EVERY INHABITANT or VILLAGE WILL HAVE SOME PART IN
 CELEBRATION

Con Crowley, who has been in the city for the past few days, will leave this morning for Crowley City, the growing camp of the Cactus Develop ment company. Mr. Crowley was planning to stay in Globe for a while longer, but his desire to be present at the big Fourth of July celebration to be held at Crowley City Sunday, caused him to leave here sooner than he expected to when he came.
 Crowley City, although not very old, does not intend to be outdone in patri otism by any of her larger sisters. The town will be gaily decorated in red, white and blue for the occasion, and the United States flag, that is always flying over Mir. Crowley's log cabin in the center of the main street of the camp, will have lots of companions on Sunday. During the day, there wall be foot races between the children of the camp, and the ladies will compete in the masculine art of driving nails At night there will be a big dance, and the whole population is expected to attend. Crowley City believes in doing things in thorough manner, and when celebration was planned for the Fourth, it was resolved that each one of the l50 people who make their homes there should have part in the affair.
 Crowley City, without its founder, could not fttingly celebrate the na- tion $ birth, at least that is the general opinion or the people who live there. Mir. Crowley expects to come back to finish his visit in Globe in a short time.

Improve Bread Street

Broad street is to be improved by the construction of new concrete gut ter, running along the west side of the street, from Msquite to Pinal creek.
 Quite a little sand is washed from the hill, during the rainy season, caus. ing at times considerable fill on Broad. The new concrete gutter is ex- pected to carry this sand into Pinal creek, where it can do no damage. If is probable that the east side of the street will be improved in the same way later on.
 Tn concrete is to be three feet wide, eight inches in thickness, with small iron rail set in the outer edge of the concrete, to prevent its being broken by heavy wagons.
