 BY THE BLUE MOUSE"
ELKS' THEATER PACKED FOR
 FIRST SHUBERT SHOW!
An Excellent Cast Presents Fine Play,
 Full of Funny Situations.

She was a dainty, lovable, adorable
 little Blue Mousse" and she won the
 hearts of an audience that packed the Elks' theater last night to the tOpmost row of the gallery. But she wasn't the whole show by any means. The supporting cast was an excellent one in every way. without one weak point.
 The first Shubert show to be seen in Phoenix scored as pronounced a sue cess as any that was ever presented on the Elks' stage. The Blue Mouse IS farce. pure and simple. but it is the most deliciously funny kind of farce imaginable. When he adapted the play from the German. Clyde titch used to the full that intimate knowledge of stagecraft which no playwright of re- cent years seems to have grasped as he did. Clyde Fitch was the supreme master of play writing when it came to arranging funny situations. and he displayed that mastery in "The Blue Mouse" as in no other play he ever wrote.
 Twenty four hours before the per formance the entire house was sold out and when the ticket window opened the $ R. O. sign was in prominent place outside. And dozens bOug1t standing room. Even some ladies stood near the doors. And upstairs the gallery gods, who were packed in like chocolate creams, layer upon layer. voiced their delighted approval of Paulette Devine, MT Lewellyn.

EAGER TO WORK. Health Reesined By Right Food.

The average healthy man or woman is usually eager to be busy at some useful task or employment.
 But let dyspepsia or indigestion get hold of one, and all endeavor becomes a burden.

 At times my appetite was voracious. but when indulged. indigestion followed. The food took did not nourish me and I grew weaker than ever.

 A Busy Afternoon.
 The statutes having been validated. the convention took a recess until aft ernoon. when it made the greatest show of progress during the session.
 A half dozen propositions had been reported by the committee on style and revision. They were generally short and were generally given the third reading and passed without op- position. only one failed. and that was one that had been the subject of much discusssiOn and had brought more communications and petitions to the convention than any other. It was MT Kinney's bill, which original ly provided that no person or cor poration should employ in under ground workings and hazardous oc- equations more than 20 per cent of laborers who could not speak the English language.
 The convention was for the most part favorably disposed to the bill, but a question arose as to the con stitutionality of this arbitrary fixing of the percentage. The bill was ac- cordingly amended to provide that no person who could not speak Eng fish intelligently should be employed
 in such occupations.
 The bill was opposed by MT. Cobb. who said that it's adoption would close down every copper mine in his county, which produces SO,0OO,OO0 h.. ~n.t hill opposed the bill on another ground In Clifton, he said, there are a thousand Mexicans, most of whom have never learned to speak Eng fish. though they have lived there many years and have established homes and families. These men would all be thrown out of employ ment
 Mir Connolly, for the bill, said that the safety of the fellow workmen of these non English speaking laborers should be considered. for many ac- cidents had resulted from the failure of men to understand instructions in cases of emergency.
 Dr. Moeur asked what would be the situation if all or a large ma jority of the men employed in a mine spoke some other language than English. Dr. Tuthill said that statistics for the last five years showed that in the mines of Graham county, where more foreigners are employed than anywhere else in the territory. accidents had been less nu- merous than in any other mining camp.
 Mir Lynch explained how the men were worked, under the direction of a boss who understood their lan- guage and also English. A motion by MT. Lynch to postpone indefinitely was carried.
 The proposition relating to county government was passed on third reading, after failure to amend it so that Cochise county could move it's county seat more easily. The advocates of the amendment admitted that the amendment was purely leg islative matter and further that it would affect only one county in the state. The amendment was lost by a narrow margin.
 In order to cover the hiatus be- tween the admission of the territory and the session of the first legisla ture. a proposition was passed per hitting boards of supervisors to fix the salaries of officials which would until salaries should be fixed by law
 The child labor law was also passed.

Ives enclosed an amend ment which he thought would serve the ends of justice. The c)mmInica- tion was referred to the committee on public service corporations other than railroads.
 After the disposition of the recall measure the convention took up the proposition validating the existing statutes and passed it. The com mittee had made some changes. for the statutes were not always cX- pressed in elegant language, and sometimes it was not clear.
 But at the suggestion of MT. Gun niff, one change was almost made that would have involved a good deal of trouble until it was changed pack again. It was the desire of MT.

obtained on the matter, negotiations

To the Hon. Samuel Gompers, Presi-
ndet, Federation Of Labor, Wash
ington, D. c.
Dear Sir:-This is my first letter of
introduction to you and on behalf of
the Hllo Labor Union. | am instructed
to communicate to you and express our
high appreciation of the stand taken
by you in regard to the planters who
are making virtual slaves of the Rus
slams IN the Territory of Hawaii. We
cooperate with you in the opinion that
the planters should deport them at their
own expense.
The labor conditions in this Territory
are such that the country is flooded
with Aslatlc laborers, which leaves no
chance for an American citizen to work
on these plantations for a living wage,
and in order to protect the American
workingman, we have organized
union of about two hundred members.
We are looking with expectation to
the future as to the continued growth
of our labor movement upon which
rests our destiny for freedom, of hope,
and high aspirations, the cultivation Of
all which is best and noblest in the hui
man family. We sincerely hope that
the labor organization on the mainland
will take an active part in demonstrate
ing the labor problem of this Territory.
1t is the aim of this union to join with
the longshoremen of San Francisco and
fight for the principles of labor and to
extend the hand of friendship to all
in the effort to bring about success and
happiness.
Hoping the desire Of the Hilo Labor
Union will be clear to you, beg to re
main, yours very respectfully, I
Secretary, Hilo Labor Union.
