 Mexican Herald: What is be- lieved to he widespread game of petty thievery among the clerks of a number of the largest business houses of the city was unearl lhed yeslel day when 1t was found that cancelled revenue stamps were dls appearing by the hundreds of dol lars worth from the boletas in the stores. Investigation laid bare the fact that these stamps were la ken from the bOletas and lurned over to some man who removed the can Cellation marks anu resuId the stamps to the small stores where revenue stamps are pla ed on sale. The profit on each stamp was email, but in stores where the payments amount to several hun dred dollars every three months, the stripping of lhe cancelled amps from lhe boletas, or The complete removal of the sheels of stamps meant considerable gain for the thieves. One of the greatest in- Convenlences ,au-ed the owners of business houses by the operations of the thieves arises from the fact that the government requires tha! the sheets of cancelled stamps be turned In when new stamps are purchased by the merchants. The { king of these sheets, or boletas, therefore, deprives the merchants of receipts for ast stamp taxe-, and necessitates double pa, meht. Among the losers by this meInnd of thievery are the Buckeye Elec- tric company, the Waters Pierce Oil company, La Imperial and El Globo. After as thorough an in- vestigation as possible in short lime, it is believed by he author ilies that lhe stealing is being done by an organized gang of clerks or office employees in the business houses, and that all the stamps are turned over t0 one man, who has the secret of removing the cancel lalion ink, anl who sells the cleansed stamps to the smaller vendors.

The STANDARD Oil decision occupied
the cabinet almost exclusively at to-
days session, and President Taft,
having read il over twice. also dis
cussed its purport with some Of his
callers. The attitude of the president
himself, that he should defer to the
supreme court and accept their law as
his law, was reflected by the cabinet.
Whatever their opinions might be.
none of them was willing TO admit that
the decision was displeasing.
There is a disposition by the cabi-
net members to await the decision Of
the supreme court in the tobacco
case That decision is expected May
%. and until then no policy will be
outlined by the administration TO
strengthen the antitrust law or solve
the problem that yesterdays decision

of the administration to check the
activities Of the department of justice.
Trusts found violating the antitrust

MOST FAMILIAR PORTRAIT.
Likeness of Queene Anne In Playing

Do any of my readers know what is the most common and familiar DOT trait in the world?" asks A. l.. Bruce. 'I have heard the matter discussed with rare erudition and cogency. One of the gentlemen was sure Raphaefs Sistine Madonna was the best known portrait in the world. Another was all for Leonardo da Vinci's Mona Lisa. still another cOntended that no likeness was so universally known as that King Edward on the coins of Great Britain. l mentioned the Sphinx. and somebody else mentioned the Venus of Milo. The discussion was growing warmer when mild callow youth chirped up with: You are all wrong. all of you, The best known portrait in the world is the queen of spades
 Then he proceeded to prove to us what. it seems. is common knowledge the queen of spades is bona fide likeness of the late Queen Anne of Britain It seems that somewhere along about 1710. the English and European statiOners fixed on the inn age of the then queen of England as suitable one to inscribe on their playing cards For 200 years or more her face has looked out at us not al- together unpleasantly-par in beZique-from the depths of the. pack.

FIRST PRESENTATION OF SHOW

A Performance Full of Features, With Fine Acting and Singing by
 Local Stars.

"ToOdles in Holland" has come. ami let us be truly thankful that she has not gone She and 59 others were at the Elks' theater last night. The win be there tonight and tomorrow night. to repeat the best amateur show ever seen in Phoenix.
 Yes, the first presentation of "Too- dies" was successful It was more than successful, being a center-fire ait. An audience that packed the the ater 10 the doors voiced its approval at frequent intervals Those who went to criticise remained to applaud.
 As a comedy. -Toodlcs in Holland'' Will not live forever. As a musical com edy, however. it is all to the good. There is some fine comedy in the lines. however. The dialogue is short but every bit of it is bright. snappy and witty
 And as for stage settings and cos tuning. well. "'Toodles in Holland" has all other home talent shows ever presented in Phoenix backed com pletelv off the boards It seemed that every time the girls came out they wore more beautiful costumes than before. HgEE

 The ponies. Zona belles and dandy dudes are all eXcellently drilled. Some of the stage movements are so diff ficult that it is hard to understand how the players carry them out with out getting mixed. After each num- Der everyone leaves the stage just at the proper moment From the stand point of drill as well as of stage set tings and costuming. ~Toodles in Hol- land" is far above any amateur pre- duction ever seen in this city.
 Remembering the instructions of Producer George Best. the members of the company forgot that there was an audience out in front last night. Every single person kept his or her wits and did everything strictly ac- cording to orders. Technically. the production was all that could be ask ed of a professional troupe
 From the very first rise of the cur tain. when the ponies tripped ont up on the stage and sang We Are Chill dren Light and Gay" the audience voiced its approval. Roars Of laughter greeted the jokes of Mark Heinz. Frank Connelley and Archibald Reg inald Cater; the Foxy Grandpa" makeup of Frank DeSouza took the house by storm. Charles Stambaugh's German dialect proved to be one of the features Of the show

 Miss Helen McNeil is very pretty and ingenious in the leading role of "Toodles.' the little girl crazy about Holland.

Among other things she has him locked up as a crazy person. How this is accomplished is the cleverest and most interesting part of the story
 Frank De SouZa plays Senator Riley. This is a straight" old man part and is well carried off
 Mark Heinze carries off the palm among the comedians. He plays the part of Levi Kozlinsky, a Jew with talent for running a second hand store. His joke about the spaghetti is the best of the whole show
 Charles Stambaugh's impersonstion of Dr. Schottskopf. professor of the pink home for pale plumbers is fine Whenever A R. Cater. who plays A. Knightstand. the only rival of Irving. walked out upon the stage. with his stately manner. there was a general laugh. Caters first appearance upon the stage may he said to be an un- qualified success. In the second act he disguises himself as the long lost wife of Senator Riley. His corset shows quite plainly.

A German inventor has discovered
a way to fell trees by incandescent
wires. His invention consists of an
ordinary steel wire one millimeter in
diameter. with a small attachment
worked by motor. The wire saws
rapidly and evenly through the tree
trunk. being heated to the burning
point by the friction, During the first
trial Of the wire-cutter tree 40
inches thick was cut through in less
than six minutes. One of the advan
tages of this machine is that it cuts a
tree close to the ground. or In the
ground, through the roots. 1t produces
steam instead of sawdust, and leaves
clean, smooth cut covered by
layer of charred wood so extremely
thin as to show through 1t the record
ed age of the tree.

WOMEN FIRST RULERS
MAN MERE INCIDENT IN MISTY
AGES OF PAST.
Since Domination Of Lord Of Creation
World Has Steadily Progressed
In Baseness and Cruelty,
Says Prof. Clark.

Women were the first rulers of the
world, and since the domination of
man the world had progressed stead
lily in cruelty and baseness. said Prof.
W. e. Clark of the University of Chi
cago.
That long before the advent of
Christianity women reigneG and man
was merely an incident, the speaker
declared, and added that at that time
the world was less harsh and more
sympathetic,
Prof. Clark pointed out how man
gradually, in the course of centuries,
shattered the rule of woman through
the use of his greater animal powers
and after supplanting her as ruler,
enSlaved her
He declared that woman's rule be-
gan with the origin of the very dawn
Of civilizs On itself.
In the irst state of primitive man,
he said, the relationship between faith
er and child was not known; the rignt
OF the mother to her children was I'M
disputed
He said that the father, having no
part in the family, remained a wan
derer, leaving the mother in full con-
troll. However, infants were helpless
and eventually love was born and man
admitted to the sacred precincts Of
civilization and organized society.
Il am not relating these facts for
the purpose Of censuring man, but to
show the result OF humanity Of re-
ligion that exalts enc sex above an
other. | think we are justified in
wondering what would have been the
result if Jehovah had been a woman
IF the feminine principle had DOM
mated the Jewish conception of deity,
| do not believe that history would
have recorded some of the things l
have referred to. II the mother spirit
had been given the first place in re-
ligion, human life would have been
far more highly developed than it is
today | do not believe that there
would have been any modern wars of
conquest waged against neighboring
tribes.
II do not believe there Is any ex-
cuse for poverty in the midst of abun-
dant wealth. There is no natural rea-
son for the continuance of extreme
poverty in this or in any land. And
am inclined to the opinion that uni
versal belief in the motherhood of
God would have been far more bene-
fetal to the race than has been the
belief in the fatherhood of God."-Chi-
