He says he has a lot of stuff that was utilized during the carnival season that has not been shown here, and altogether he can with small expense show con- stantly changing performance for a short season and one that he believes will satisfy.
 MT Reiss says that John T.

THE OTHER CANDIDATES
In the Meantime MT. Can non Has Not Given Mo- tice of His Early Aban- donment of That Post of Honor and Authority

Washington, Jan. 15.-Representa- tive J. G. Diekemas of Michigan has formally announced his candidacy for speaker of the house at the end of the present session.
 Speaker Cannon has made it clear that he has no intention of resigning. He has already announced that he would be a candidate for reelection to congress. but has never declared that he would seek to be reelected speaker.
 Besides Mir Diekeman. sever al candi- dates are mentioned for the speaker ship, including Charles Walter B.. Smith of Iowa. a member of the rules committee; James Mann of Illinois, chairman of the committee on inter- state commerce. and Representative Olmstead of Pennsylvania.
 'T am a regular, and not an in surgent," said MT Diekema. ''No man could ever give me better treatment than Speaker Cannon has given, and I think he is the fairest presiding officer I ever saw in the chair. I believe the next speakership will go to the middle west, and not to the man WHO ldS ndu lolB seiNice III coh- gress and dominated congress. It does not seem possible that the speaker ship will go to any of the present in surgents."
 Mir Diekema is a member of the ju dietary committee and of the com mittee on the election of president vice president and representatives. and has served two terms in congress.
 '1 am not a candidate for the speakership." said Mir. Mann 'I am for Uncle Joe first. last and all the time"

looms. for a meeting in Oakland in
 March or April and for a meeting in
 San Antonio sometime before that
 Mir. Reiss suggested to him that in
 jumping back from San Antonio to
 Oakland the aviators could just as
 well as not, make stop in Phoenix
 for a three days meeting. Mir. Ber- nard liked the plan and told Reiss to trek back to Phoenix and see what he could do. He arrived yesterday morn ing and busted himself at once, calling on a number of substantial business men, all of whom seemed taken with the idea. Then he hunted up Dr. Foss. president of the board of trade. and asked him to get his directors to- gether and canvass the situation, if necessary sending out a committee to interview the business men. This he hopes the doctor will do tomorrow or as soon as possible and decide on the matter at once. In fact it will have to be settled one way or the other very quickly. As demonstrating Mir. Reiss' faith in the project he wired Bernard last night asking him for certain advices as to who he could guar antee would attend Phoenix meet ing and saying that he believed from his inquiry of yesterday that Phoe- nix would be willing to put up the s12,000 guarantee.
 The scheme is therefore all in the air until some local committee takes hold of it but Mir. Reiss says he is sure. the aviators will come for the guarantee named and 25 per cent of the gate receipts Mir. Reiss says that if the scheme works out he will take charge of the advertising and he feels sure he can bring such a crowd of people to Phoenix as never assembled here before. He says he met lots of Ari- zonians on the train coming back who said that if such a meet were held here they were sure their towns would come enmasse. The flying idea, says Mir. Reiss. has got the people going. and now is the time to strike. A year or two later it may be too com mon to interest, but just now the country is aviation mad and the ad- vertisement it would give Phoenix to be the scene of the third aviation meet ing In America would be incompara- ble and attract the attention of mill lions who never yet have heard of the place
 MT. Reiss said that when he went to Los Angeles he had hoped to secure a contract with some aviator to tour with him next summer as a free at traction, but when he saw the space necessary for the aviation field. he de- cided that it would be inpracticable as a street carnival feature, but he is all enthused over the prospect of a big show. He says the territorial fair grounds will be an ideal place for the meeting.

AVIATION MEETING
 PLANNED FOR PHOENIX
Proposition For a Three Days Show
 in the Arizona Capital.

Nat Reiss returned yesterday from Los Angeles. where he went to enjoy the aviation meet. He comes back more enthused about it than with any spectacular entertainment idea he ever possessed with the single exception of the hour in which he decided that he was born to be a snowman. He says he has been in the amusement busi- ness all his life in one way or an other but the flying machine game is the biggest, the best, the cleanest and most interesting one he has ever seen. What Mir Reiss thinks about aviation is mentioned primarily for the reason that he has also brought back with him a well formed idea of an aviation week for Phoenix, some time during the month of March. He says that Phoe- nix can get for guarantee of S12.000 what Los Angeles is paying twenty times that much for, and the chances are more than even that the biggest part of the guarantee, if not all of it, will be returned at the gate But in order to secure such a famous. world advertising event, the people of Phoe nix will have to wake up and make a noise like cooperation and make it right quick while the flyers still have their ears to the ground.
 MT Reiss says that Los Angeles is crowded full of people from every where who have gone aviation crazy. One cannot get a room in a hotel there unless it has been specially arranged for him. The financing of the event has been a success and the subscrib CTS to the guarantee fund will prob ably get all their money back. Among the visitors are perhaps a hundred of the leading amusement promoters of the country, all keen to make contracts with one or another or all of the. avia- tors for one purpose or another. Among them MT. Reiss met an old friend in the person of a promoter named Bernard, who was exerting ev cry influence to make contracts with the principal aviators, and finally did so with the single exception of Paul. han, the Frenchman. to whom money seems to be no object unless there is an immense amount of it. for Los An geles had to put up s50,00O to get him beside the prizes he has chance at
 MT. Reiss says that MT. Bernard has secured contracts with Curtiss. Hamil- ton and Willard. the notable American aeroplane flyers. and with Harmon and Mars, who have the spiral bal

MINIATURE MINT
 CAPTURED IN FRISCO A MOST COMPLETE COUNTER
 FITTING OUTFIT
Three Men Also Taken By a Secret
 Service Force

San Francisco, Jan 15.J-The most that has ever fallen into the hands of the federal authorities, was cap- tured today by secret service men and with it three men were arrested The plant was located in the only shack on the rocky summit of Ber- nal Heights. the highest hill in the city. Last night detectives were on watch in the scrub covered rocks and saw four of the men they had mark ed. enter the shack but the attack was deferred in the hope that other members of the gang might come to cover.
 They were disappointed in this and late today Chief Moffit decided to act. Creeping on their hands and knees, four officers approached the shack and on a signal made a rush. The house was well barricaded and they were compelled to break an entrance with axes. While smashing in the doors one member of the gang escaped. The three men ar rested gave the names of Michael Angelo. Samuel Dicola, and Samuel Arman.
 After searching the prisoners the officers examined the plant. which filled the little hut and they were astounded at its completeness and the mechanical excellence of the ma chinery. It was a miniature mint. They found almost perfect dies for every coin from 10 cents to 10 dollars and lathes. saws, stamps and other accessories of the finest workman ship. The stamps are said to be almost of the same pattern as those used in the United States mint.
 No coins or bullion was found. the raid having been timed just before the plant was to have been placed in operation.
