GOV. SLOAN WILL
 SEND MESSENGER

Ifplans made by Governor Sloan are carried out, Arizona will be admitted to the Union and it's first set of state officers assume the oath on Lincoln's birthday, February 12.
 "As soon as the day is made certain" said Governor Sloan, this afternoon. 1T shall issue proclamation calling upon the people to lay aside all business on that day in order that it may generally be observed as a holiday.
 "Lincoln had much to do with the organization of the Territory of Arizona. which happened dur. ing his term. It was in a wayla war measure, and he was in act i've support of the bill creating IHc I'ITlCO1y-
 It was mure than fitting that Arizona become a state on Lin coln's birthday, and I believe that President Taft will be pleased to take this into consi- iteration when hesissues the pro- clamation.
 "If February 12 is to be the day, shall ask that we be noti- fled by wire early in the day in order that the state officers m " take the oath during the after noon.
 "If this can be understood m advance the diff:rtnt organiz |. tions, which are interested in the matter, will have time to make arrangements fora celebra- tion in honor ot the day"
 Friday night, Governor Sloan will send to Washington D. C, 1 by special m-ssenger, the com- 1 pleted returns of the canvass that is now being completed. The returns will be in President Taft's hands on February '. ant
 will be turned over by him to Secretary ot State K FOX. who will examine the record and pre-
 pare the proclamation. Cover nor Sloan figures that these de- , tails will about take the matter
 up to February I2.

CURIOUS BITS OF HISTORY
By A. w. MACY. A CONSCIENTIOUS ADMIRAL.

During the Boxer rebellion In China the warships of eight al- lied nations, England, France, Germany, Italy, Austria, Russia, Japan and the United States, were lying at the mouth of tho Pei-Ho river, leading to Picking. On the banks of the river, and guarding it's entrance, were the Taku forts, garrisoned by Chi- nese soldiers. At a critical junc- ture of the rebellion seven of the admiraIs united In a demand for the evacuation or surrender of the forts, the demand being accompanied by a threat to fire on them unless 1t was imme- diateIy complied with. But Rear Admiral kempff, in command of the American squadron, refused to join in the demand, on the ground that he was not author ized to initiate any act of war with a nation with which his country was at peace. His in- structions, he claimed, did not permit him to commit an overt act of war The other com manders argued and Insisted, but he steadfastIy refused. 1t is part of an admiraI's business to fight, and it was no doubt great temptation to join In the bombardment. Had he yielded, he probably would have been sustained by public opinion at home. But he had the moral courage to stand by his concep- tion of his duty under his in- structions.

a patronage which enables the small
town house to remain out of darkness
THE moving picture houses, 1t is
agreed, have cut into the legitimate
business with greater effect than has
any other obstacle to the success of
the small town theatre. An evenings
enjoyment may be purchased there
for a nickle, and that the masses have
completely forgotten the existence of
the dramatic Offering, except as seen
on the screen, as is indicated by the fact
that the gallery of the playhouse,
" hich was once a good source of reve-
nue. is now practically deserted and
many theatres no longer include a gal
lery.
1T may be that those who have pat
rOnized the popular-priced dramatic

policy, but the patronage extended %
them in the past has not been such,
the resident manager claims, as to in

which are many, and even the most
prominent circuit managers in the
country are divided as to the most
salient reason for the decreased
patronage.
There are those who claim that the
syndicated interests have killed the
goose which laid the golden egg, and
they point out that for seasons the
class of productions which were sent
out on the road was such as to dis
courage rather than encourage pat,
ronage of the small town theatre.
Many declare that the inferior produc-
lions which were offered at top notch
prices a few years ago caused many
70 abandon the theatre. This lost pat
ronage is the most difficult to again
attract, and it will require considerable
time to. again build up a patronage
which will make the small town the.
atre a fiourishing institution.

the presentation OF 'Kindling' last

AT THE EMPIRE.

Judging by the patronage and the
warm reception from the audience
last night, Manager Dolly's weeks
flyer into musical comedy at the EN-
pire is going TO be a big winner. The
kelly-SchusJer company will present
two comedies during the week, chang
ing the bill Thursday. AS with the
majority OF entertainments of its
class, the name indicates nothing that
calls for heavy thinking in order to
follow the plot "Frisky France" is
the name Of the opening farce. Kelly
essays the role Of a French waiter
and Schuster appears as a German.
Both are capable performers. Schus-
ter is actually funny. There is a sup
porting company of % people, mostly
girls. The latter are youthful and
willing and what they may lack in
vocal quality they more than make up
in quantity. They are a lusty-lunged
bunch and they are generous to the
limit in the display Of their vocal
powers. Several OF the young women
appear in the more popular of the
present day songs. with the chorus
working behind them. The company
carries its own scenery, and the cos
tuning OF the principals and cory
phees is neat Not all Of the Jokes
are new-in fact a number OF them
might have been cul,ed from the early
edition OF Joe Miller's laugh book
but they are well done. and q good
joke will stand for annual repeating.
