Brown, charged with il- legal liquor selling, left for parts un- known last Friday before being sub- poenaed to testify in the case.

SOLONS PASS SALOON BILL OVER GOVERNOR |, ", P, HUNTS VETO RENO NEED HAVE NO FEAR 0F ARIZONA DIVORCE
 LAW; SAME HAS FALLEN BY THE WAYS|DE;
 LACK IF INTEREST THE CAUSE.

Phoenix, April By a vote of F to 2, the state senate late this after noon passed Senate Bill No. 39, the six-mile saloon law, over the veto of Governor Hunt. It now goes to the house for it's action Wood and Day. is, of Maricopa, were the only sena- tors who voted to sustain the gov ernor's veto, delivered yesterday.
 This action in overriding the gover- nOr's veto, and in doing away with the sacred referendum which the con- stitutiOn guarantees to the people, will probably do more to kill the pres ent Democratic administration than anything that may come up at later date.
 The saloons of Arizona have no fear and need have no fear of a refer endum vote by the people, but it is a we'll known fact that Governor Hunt and the present legislature are on the outs over many questions, and if it keeps up, who knows where it will end It may end in rout and defeat for the Democrats at the next election and it probably will.
 The Saloon bill was not an emor- gency clause and could not be made so under the constitution, but it was class legislation of the rankest sort.
 The saloons would have been just as well of, and perhaps better, had the bill not have been passed over the governors veto, as it puts club in the hands of the Prohibitionists that they will not fail to use at the fi-st opportunity.
 No fairminded man in Arizona wish ed to see any saloon man put out of business, because of the existing six mile law, which was not intended to harm the saloons in the municipali- ties, but rather to protect the work ingmen out on the railroad contracts, levee contracts, etc.
 But a fool legislature worded the law in such a way that the Prohibit tionists saw flaw in it, and used it with effect. But the consequences of the present action by the present leg islature may prove of grave import for all concerned,

 The bill came up before the house with Billy Graham, of Cochise, in the chair, and the house in session as a committee of the whole. After some discussion, the bill was drowned unor and tucked away indefinitely.

FERRIS HARTMAN
 IN THE CAMPUS"

A great item of general interest il
 the theatrical world, which concerns
 the public of Yuma is the fact that Ferris Hartman is to bring his big
 company here to present to local play
 goers, 'The Campus" at the Zellel
 .he at'e, April 14, the recorl-breaklns f musical comedy of college life which enjoyed such a phenomenal run in the city of Los Angeles, where it reached
 PIP performances. MT. Hartman is the best known comedian of the pres ent day, especially in the West, where he appeared almost exclusively for a number of years. This will be the first time that MT. Hartman has ap- peared in Yuma, and no doubt will be eagerly welcomed. The play, which MT. Hartman has selected as the ve- hicle for the present tour has been enrGls sed by all critics of Salt ake
 Denver, Kansas City, St. Louis, Chic ago and San Francisco, where it has met with most enthusiastic receptions. Walter De Leon, the young author and composer of ''The Campus" will be in the company supporting Mir. Hart man, as well as Miss "Muggins" Da- vies, possibly the most charming sou brette on the stage today, and Roscoe Arbuckle, the rotund comedian, who enjoys such splendid reputation Much has been said and written about the merit of "The Campus" and the wonderful record which it has estab lished for itself, is unique. The plo: of the play, for it has a plot and very entertaing one, treats of an in cident in college life that is most at tractive Indeed the entist atmos mosphere of the play embodies the spirit of youth as evidenced in our great American colleges, which forms the basis of the comedy Unlike most .oiiege plays, "The Campu!. doef iiO> OSp0uu upOH lOO- BL OI college athletics for it's chief interest. which in this instance centers around the writing of a senior force. The fun is natural and spontaneous throughout. The music of "The Cam pus' has occasioned a great deal of praise as it is full of the liveliest and catchiest tunes. Among the song hits are "How de Do," "Is Everybody Hap py?'', "I Leave It To You," 'The Same Old Love-" Before You Are Old, 'The Lily and the Rose" and the now famous Stein Song" The production will be complete in every detail of scenery and costuming, which is yer! beautiful and effective. The appear ance of Ferris Hartman in "The Cam pus," here, will be a noteworthy oc- casion and one long to be remember ed. Due notice of the seat sale anG Ill further particulars will be give, in these columns later.
