ADJUSTMENTS
EMPRESS.

A packed house witnessed the pres eEtation of owen Wister's great mas terpiece The Nirginian." at the Em- press thcater last night. The cast was exceedingly well balanced and presented in that style which has made the Empress Stock so popular to the theater gOers of Phoenix. MT. MacLean in the role of The Virginian Was at his best The character is an extremely hard one to portray, but was handled in a most pleasing man ncr. which was acknowledged in much applause. Miss Cleo Madison present. ed the character of Molly Wood in that charming style which has won her the hearts of the theater- going public. and Bob Adair made an eX- cellent Trampas. Credit is given to Harry Marshall, the scenic artist, of Los Angeles, who came here with the company. and whose work on the set tings of The Virginian" leave no room for criticism The advance sale is extremely heavy for the remaining three nights of the bill, and those who wish to see this production will do well to engage their seats at once.

G|LA COUNTY
 HERE IN FORCE
Travelling Party of 35 Ar rived Yesterday to See What the Legislature is Going to Do About Sev eral Different Things

A party of thirty five people traV- cling in nine automobiles drifted into Phoenix yesterday from Globe and Miami. most of them coming to see what the legislature is planning to do in respect of. matters affecting GiIa countv Among the members of the party were J. T Keegan and wife. Harry Sultcn and wife, D. De wore. Pat Rose. w D. Fisk Dave Heron. Charles Alexander. A. AleXan-. der. William keegan. Judge Hinson Thomas. Dr. WiEhtman, Judge Henry and others from Globe, and W. ?. White editor of tue Miami News. C. F. GofdmG. Niiamf Correspondent of the Silver Belt. and J. V. Prochaska. postmaster of Miami. But that is only half of them.
 The principal thing that calls the GiIa county people here is the threat cned division of the county. Slicing off Winkclman and Hayden and att taching them to Piual county The proposed action is undertaken largely in the interest oc trc residents of those places who claim it is much more convenient for them to go to Florence as a county seat than to Globe though tho latter is little nearer. They say the Pinal moun- tains are too high to cross and there is no good road to travel over while they can go to Florence by train.
 The Globe and Miami people admit there is some truth in the contention and confess that they have been slow in recognizing the needs of that end of tho county. but they also aver that they are now alive to the situ- ation do not want to. lose their pco- ple and are willing to do anything in roas0n to make Globe even more accessible than Florence The Miami people particularly are concerned as they have laid out a new road from the district in question to Miami and hope tO divert traffic from that end of the county to Globe via the Miami copper city which is growing rapidly is now a place of 2500 and expects soon to be a great deal larger
 The new road they say is now passahle and in a short time will be q great deal better as the Miami peo- ple are spending their own private mOrey to improve it II the county will get busy and help they promise as good a road as anybody cares to ride over. lJ0O feet less altitude than the old road to Globe. shorter and altogether delightful. a trip that can be made in two or three hours easily.
 In this connection both the Globe and the Miami people have thorough ly aroused themselves to the impOr- tance of the whole good roads ques- ton and while here are desirous of doing everything they can to boost the game. Incidentally there is some interest in senate bill T and in vari- ous other measures before the leg iSlature.

THE COLISEUM.

If that strenuous gentleman who commanded a regiment of rough riders in the fOray up san Juan hill. had numbered Mir. and Mrs Hall now appearing at the Coliseum, among the members of his militia. there would have been many more widows cut- tering up the haciendas of Cuba and Spain than there are at present The Halls use a rifle. bullet of sufficient size and strength to puncture a board two inches thick, when shot from q gun, and during their incumbency of the stage, take at least fifty shots at objects placed within d couple of inches of one or the others anatomy. \ very pleasing amusement truly when viewed from the audience. The Zukovs sing. dance and play the balalaika, the later a Russian court instrument but it is their dancing that makes the hit. It seems incred- ible that three human beings can be found that are able to move with the rapidity developed by the Zukovs. The same performers will appear again tonight.

ASSOCIATED PRESS DIspATcHl

BOSTON, May "A petition was filed today with the Boston board of election commissioners, by Chairman Herman Hormel, of the republican state committee, asking a recount of the vote cast at Tuesdays primaries for the republican delegates at large in every ward in Boston, except ward '. Tomorrow similar petitions will be filed asking recounts of the vote for republican delegates large throughout the state. The Taft mana- gers hope a recount will show the number of ballots thrown out because of crosses marked for both EX senator Frank Seiberlich, on the regular Taft ticket headed by Senator Crane, would have been sufficient, if counted. to elect the Taft ticket for delegates-at- large. This would afford a basis on which to make a fight for seating their delegates. Governor Foss re- leased today delegates elected on the democratic ticket from any obliga- ton they might feel to vote for him at the democratic national convention. He has withdrawn as a candidate.

 The complaint of the travelling men over the style of the scrip now in use, was filed with the association, and representatives of that class of rail- road customers were present to dis cuss the matter and show what the travellers think of the present system. The railroad men themselves agreed the matter as at present arranged was not entirely satisfactory to everybody and it was finally decided to have rep resentatives of the two sides of the question reach some sort of agree ment, for recommendation to the aSso- citation.

 Rev. Lucey also discusses the sound- ing board in the pavilion at Ocean Grove, N. J., which seats 10000 peo- pie. and which has above the stage a sounding board which makes the speakers voice heard over the en- tire building. Rev. Lucey statesl that for $230, more or less, a sounding board could be placed above the stage of the Auditorium, made Of na- tive pine, maple or other woods, and that for about $1000l the building could be ceiled and many other be done, although the chief defect he states is accousticla.

1O1 RANCH WILD WEST
 SHOW HERE TUESDAY
Big Performance Has Been Enlarged Since Its Last Appearance In
 This City.

While. according to reports, the 101 Ranch Wild West show, which will be in Pine Bluff next Tuesday, October 22. has grown considerably since it's last visit to this city, it is still credit ed with retaining the genuine Vest ern flavor.
 Edward Al lington who is associated with the Miller Brothers in the own ership of this show, said recently, in speaking of the exhibition:
 "The best evidence of the genuine ness of the 101 Ranch show is the fact that many of it's performances are given in communities that are familiar with cowboys and Indians, and where any attempt to deceive in regard to the character of the wild West people would be detected At Reno. where the show recently ex- hibited, there were nearly seven hun dred red Indians in the audience; at Kalispell, Mont, formerly noted for it's annual roundup, and still center of the cattle industry, a large part of the immense audience was com posed of cowboys and ranchmen; in Canada, last month, we played to many Alberta and Saskatchewan au- diences where cowboys, Indians and soldiers constituted an important part of the crowd, and in every instance the performance was praised from the standpoint of it's realism. Down East, where the cowboy and Indian are novelties, it is natural that the show should attract attention, but to win and hold the interest of the gen. uine Westerner by a wild West exhi- bition is surely tribute to it's worth.
 Since the last visit of the show to
 Pine Bluff there have been some changes along the line of increased magnitude, but the show is still a Wild West exhibition pure and simple. There are no circus features and the performance is confined exclusively to features illustrating life on the ranch and prairie
 Advertising car No. 3 was in the city yesterday, putting the finishing touches to the billing of the big show.
