Airship Seen Returning

At 4 o'clock there was a great shout.
Some one had seen the airship again.
Soon it came into sight. blown from its
outward course and on a line with
Mount Wilson.
To the eye it rose above the noun
tains, and there was a cry that Paulhan
had gone a mile high. 1t looked as
though an eagle had come out of its
home in the crags and was hunting for
an evening meal in the barnyards of
the valley.
The machine became more and more
plain and even the experts watching
and timing were surprised at the speed
with which IT returned. Mr.. Bishop
figured that it would take Paulhan
twice as long to come back it had

aviator had struck a milder current in
the high altitude and was coming home
on this.

Exploited Against Will

In speaking of the efforts made by
the laws and others to commercialze
his work, Burbank said:
Il am exploited whether l am willing
or not, and very much against my own
wishes in the matter. Does it pay to
exploit commercially a proposition
which does not stand on a sound basis
of character and value?"
Burbank answered the criticism of
his lack of originality in the develop
ment of the spineless cactus by saying:
AT the time of the Introduction of

lowing words occupy the first place in

And in the matter of public promi- nence the most inconspicuous charac- ter in the Bohemian company is bet ter known in Phoepix than any one of those mentioned above. But a show company must be pictured, if not for one reason, then for another and herewith are presented the pie lures of a few of the leading lights in, Bohemia The purpose of pictures in this case is to conceal the identity of the player. lose his personality in that of his character. and to that end the artist has labored with the most satisfying results
 The work is not perfect of course for it has been found impossible to make Purdy Bullard's feet as small as they ought to be to be natural and lifelike. Again, the artist utterly fail- ed to conceal the place where Paul Ingles carries his ham sandwiches. He was more successful with Frank Con- nelley for he put black coat on him and everybody knows that Frank wears a white one; also g cigar. Probably the most sublime effect was

Every. big show company f that comes ro town has to have pictures and cuts to run in the newspapers. Usually the purpose Of the pictures is to fauiiiarize the local public with the personality of the players who are to entertain them. This is necessary for several reasons. One is that the tt1eater-goer wants to be able to rec ognize the star so he will know when to applaud and not give .all his best testimonials to the super. Again the stars are supposed to be famous but unfortunately the world don't know anything about it until the press agent has told them and the pictures greatly facilitate the.- press. agents work and .help the patron to appear up-to-date whether he. is or not.
 A Night in Bohemia will be pre- scented in tire Elks' theater tonight and tomorrow night. by an aggrega- ton of talent with which such people as David Warfield, Olga Nethersole and Mrs. Fiske. could not compare at all. They would not be considered as in the same class with the Bohemians.

Worsely contended that it was open
 and above board The defendant had
 tried to conceal nothing. He had se-
 cured the money at the bank on a written order from Miss Duncan: he had agred to pay her ten per cent interest and he had made six pay ! ments of interest and had paid a part
 of the principal as Miss Duncan needed more money than the interest rate brought her.
 Though, Wooddell had not given a
 note for the money or any other
 evidence of indebtedness as he ought
 to have done, the transaction was not without witnesses and the frequent
 and regular payments of interest,
 with part payments of the principal
 was surely enough evidence, in the mind of MT. Worsely that he had bor- rowed the money for his own use
 All this time, too the defendant had 1 property of the value of s5OO0 or | $6000 and his wife had a farm in her 1 own name worth as much. All this property was left uncovered. Here was an act ofs negligence of which ] Wooddell would not have been guilty, said MT. Worsely. if he had intended to defraud Miss Duncan of her money. On the contrary. he had made an 1 assignment of his property for the
 benefit of these two complaining creditors and his wife had turned
 over her property so that it went into the assignment. All debts had been
 paid and there was still left some thing of the estate.
 This statement was made by MT. Worsley to controvert a statement or the prosecution that Wooddel had obtained possession of the money on the eve of bankruptcy The supreme
 court will hand down an opinion in
 this case at the March meeting
 Another case presented yesterday
 was that of Lee Kim Fong under an

reached in the case of George Pirosh. That nose for instance looks just ex- actly like MT Pirosh's nose doesn't. As for Miss Washington no gentleman would remark about a lady's appear ance. especially when she looks fine whether she was herself or somebody else.
 Tommy GetZ is quite natural and there Is no use to try and hide a show manager If one did so he would bob mp serenely and give it all away just at the wrong time. Eut in the matter of the Elk, the artist fell down completely for he made him just as he ought to be.
 It is not likely that this criticism will suit everybody and perhaps it won't suit anybody. but the reader has his duty set plainly before him. whatever his opinion, and that is, to go to the show and see for himself. If he is dissatisfied with it he can go the second night and if he doesn't get enough of it then r is understood he will be given the third chance. The Elks believe in doing things thor- oughly.

DEFENDANT WOODDEH'S
 ENTERTAINMENT DEFECT
THE THEORY OF HIS ATTORNEY MIR. woRsELY.
Argument of the Embezzlement Case
 in Supreme Court.

The case of R. D. Wooddell who was convicted in Pima coun;y of en- bezzlement was argued in supreme court yesterday The conviction of the appellant was secured last Octo- Der and he was sentenced to two years and half in the penitertiary. Attorney A. A. Worsely appeared for Wooddell and the office of the attor- ney general was represented by Ben ton Dick of Tucson.
 The argument of Mir. Worsely tend ed to show that his client instead of being guilty of crime was tenn peramentally unfortunate and that his misfortune in this respect had given his acts a criminal appearance. It was charged against him that he had secured about 5000 each of Annie Duncan and a Mrs. Mcfadden. repre- senting to them that he would invest their money in such a way that it would draw d greater rate of interest than they, were receiving from the bank where it was deposited that instead, he invested the. money in his
