AT THE EMPIRE.

"The Wolf comes to the Empire
theatre for three days, beginning next
Monday. The Wolf is from the
pen of Eugene Walters, author of sew.
eral dramas, but it is so different from.
the usual run of plays, that it leaves
a distinct impression of its own on
the mind of the spectator. The
story and theme are new. There is
an abundance of bright dialogue, droll
humor, and the pathos, and sentiment
of the play are not OF the artificial
sort.

Adele Blood, who will be seen here
shortly in the title role of Every
woman, the dramatic spectacle
which is sponsored by Henry W. Saw
age, is described as being one of the
mos. beautiful women of the American
stage. She is a milk-white blonde of
Junoesque proportions and as the role
requires elaborate dressing she is seen
in a wardrobe that sets many a fem
mime heart aflutter. Beauty is not
Miss Blood's sole qualification. She
won the enthusiastic endorsement of
every dramatic writer in New York on
her first appearance in the role at the
Herald Square theatre, where she
played it several hundred times.

London, Sept. 27.-The quaint little
house in Craven street where Benja-
min Franklin lived in his more pros
porous days. and from which he is
sued his delightful series of papers
called the Craven Street Gazette"
forms part of a block of property
which has been purchased for the con-
struction Of large hotel, and, unless
immediate steps are taken to save it,
this historical building will be torn
down. An appeal has been made to
Americans to save the house and a
proposal will be made to the hotel
builders to include Franklin's rooms
within the new building.
The house is now conducted as a
small residential hotel, much frequent
ed by Americans. II bears above the
front doorway the following tablet,
Lived here Benjamin Franklin, print
er, philosopher and statesman. Born
1906, died 1890"
Here the great American philoso-
pher resided after he had served his
hard apprenticeship in London and

Mrs. Stevenson, from home he enter

One of the paragraphs was as follows:

Mrs. Stevenson had arrived safely
at Rochester on Saturday night. The

PHOENIX CAR MEN STRIKE.

PHOENIX, June 22 - Unable to
secure from Manager S. Fl. Mitchell
the satisfaction demanded in a petit
tion presented exactly one week be-
fore, about eighty-five per cent OF
the conductors and motormen of the
Phoenix Railway Company, went
out at 6 o'clock last evening Eff
forts to operate the cars were made
by the company, but the harrassment
of the throngs which gathered in
the downtown streets were such that
it was finally necessary to send all
the cars to the barn and the tie-up
was complete
From the moment that the cars
on the Brill line, the Indian School
line and the Glendale line, began
rolling to the transfer point at First
and Washington streets, and the mo-
tormen and conductors left their
places, until late at night the entire
police force was busy maintaining
order Without taking sides in the
controversy, the officers simply in
sisted that there be no disorder. The
few cars that were sent out were
in most instances manned by two or
three policemen in addition to crews
sent out by the company. Beyond
calling to the men upon the cars and
urging them to abandon their posts,
the striking carmen took little if any
part in the nights disorder. Early
in the evening they adjourned to the
Labor Temple, where the finishing
touches were given to the perfection
of the organization of new local
of the Amalgamated Association of
Street and Electrical Employees of
America, a charter for which arrived
in Phoenix yesterday morning.

being something like $4,000 per- day.
The camp is so miles from a rail-

Perhaps Reed got thirsty and went
out to Salton Sea for a drink, as wa
ter is scarce at Dale, the supply for
the camp having to be brought four

BODY TAKEN FROM RIVER.

BLYTHE, June 25. = The body
of small boy, badly decompos~
ed was taken out of the
Colorado river at the intake
last Saturday morning. The body
was discovered floating in the water
by the watchman at the intake and
men in boats went out and brought
it to shore
Justice of the Peace Walsh was
called by. phone and went up to hold
an inquest on the body.
The body was so badly decomposed
that it was almost unrecognizable,
but was that of a small white boy,
perhaps eight years of age. The
clothing consisted of a jacket and
pants, no shoes or stockings. There
was nothing by which identification
was pOSSIUIS.
The remains were buried near the
intake, it being next to impossible
to remove them to the cemetary here
The Needles Eye, published at
Needles, California, in it's issue of
June IA contains an item that may
lead to the identity of the body; The
Eye says:
George Ackleman, a year-old boy
is supposed to have been drowned
in the Colorado river this forenoon.
With a companion he was along the
river near the smelter. He was later
missed and it is thought he fell into
the river. One man heard splash
but did not know the cause until
later. Another man saw the foot of
drowning boy show above the sur
face of the water but was unable to
reach it. The river is being dragg-
ed near the scene of the drowning.

TELEGRAM FROM WASHINGTON
SAYS SENATOR SMITHS BILL
WILL BE REPORTED FAVOR
ABLY TO SENATE.

Rees NJ. Ling, the Phoenix attor-
ney, wired the local board of trade
that the Smith bill providing for
the opening of the unallotted lands
in the reservation would be reported
favorably to the senate by the com
mittee on Indian affairs This in
formation, the message stated, had
been received direct from Senator

While those interested in the mat
ter have felt confident at all times
that the committees action would
be favorable this is the first definite
assurance that the bill would be re-
commended for passage by the COM
mittee to which it was referred.
The telegram was as follows:

Through the courtesies of Senator

lation to opening of the reservation.

commencing favorable action on bill
Shall try to see him in person

Mr.. Ling, through whom the mes
sage was received has proved him
self booster for the Parker pro-
ject at all times, and, while not di-
rectly interested, his standing in
political circles at Washington makes
his assistance valuable
With the Arizona delegation work
ing overtime to hasten the passage
of the bill, the Los Angeles chamber
of commerce urging the California
delegation to use every influence in
a similar way and individuals and
organizations both here and at the
capital bending every effort in the
same direction there should be
enough force brought to bear on this
matter to insure it's early success.

MARRIED AT BAk kERSFIELD

The announcement of the marriage
of Walter Krohn to Miss Lorraine
Reed both of Parker, at Bakersfield
on Tuesday was received throuh one
of the Bakersfield papers sAeek.
The marriage came as a co ete
surprise to the parents of the q Jas
well as friends of Krohn Until Ne
present time no word has been IN
ceived from either of the young peo\
pie verifying the report but the fact
that the event was published both in
the news items and in the list of
marriage licenses removes all doubt
of the authenticity of the report
Krohn, who is employed as a ma
chinist at the local railroad shops
met Miss Reed soon after her arrival
in Parker with her parents last
October and the two had been good
friends during her stay here although
no intimation had been given that
they were to be married At the
time of his leaving here last Satur-
day night Krohn stated that
he would stop in Bakersfield for a
time and then go to San Francisco.
1t is now believed that the young
couple are spending their honeymoon
at the Bay City.
Here's to jolly honeymoon, a
happy married life and royal cele-
bration when the young people return

EsPEE FIGHTING s-cENT FARE.

Referendum petitions are. being cir
culated against the three-cent fare
bill by the Southern Pacific and Ari-
zOna Eastern interests. The other
railroads OF the state refused to join
in the movement, believing it to be
bad policy, says the Gazette.
The number of names required to
suspend the opration of the law till
the general election of November,
1914, is 1910. 1t is expected that the
Southern Pacific will secure this NUM-
Der without particular difficulty Pre-
dictions are made that when the pc
titions are filed with the secretary of
state storm of protest will sweep
over the state, beside which the pro-
test at the action of the railroads in
fighting the old three-cent fare bill in
the federal courts will pale into in
significance.
At it's first regular session the Ari-
zona state legislature passed bill
providing that no railroad should
charge more than three cents a mile
for carrying passengers. The rail
roads invoked the referendum against
this measure, the full crew law and
several others. All were. approved
by an overwhelming vote at the polls
last November.
Then the railroads began a fight
against the laws in the federal courts.
The fight was directed particularly
at the three-cent fare measure
Before the court had rendered any
decision the state legislature held
another session and passed new
three-cent fare bill, superseding the
old one and making the court action
with respect thereto of no force or
effect. Desperate efforts were made
on the floor of both houses to pass
the new law as an emergency meas
ure, exempt from the operations of
the referendum, but the friends of
the railroads prevailed. 1t was passed
to become effective ninety days after
the close of the session.
