ANIMAL ACT WITH
 SELLS Flo1o SHOWS

Although animal acts of various kinds have for many years been feat ures of travelling tented organizations still they have up to date never reached such state of perfection that tigers and lions would perform in the same arena together
 This season. the Sells tloto circus which comes here on April ! offers one of the features of their program.
 Margaret and Captain Dutch Re cardo are the names of the trainers who have succeeded in accomplishing this novel departure. They appear in a steel arena, together with six African lions and three Malay tigers. which during the past winter nave trained to perform as one family. It must not be understood that these animals are by any means in the kindergarten stage because they have passed that long ago. Their training is absolutely completed. so much so, indeed. that they mount pedcStals forming heroic groups. balance on rolling balls, SeesaW. ride bicycles, jump through hoops of fire and mount galioping horses.
 The remarkable part of the whole entertainment is. the RccardOs enter the cage carrying no weapon or fire arm of any kind. The education of these fierce animals was accomplished with no other perSuader than an or dinary buggy whip, their methods diff fering from all the other great train CTS who have helped to make the history of the worlds best mcnaecries. Perhaps it is that the RecardoS pos sess some strange and magic power over the dumb animals. but he that as it may the exhibition given by them is one which has never been cpualcd and probably never will Advertisement

YEARSAND YEARS
 IN CITY LOOKUP
Terrible Possibility of Spending Two Hundred and Ten Years in Phoe- nix City Jail is Confront ing Dick Erdmans.

To q man up tree it would ap- pear that Dick Erdmans, Phoenix real estate dealer. is in a mighty embarrassing position Unless Dick is willing to pay aggregated fines amounting to $3S4000 he may be in danger of spending not only los years and 150 days in the city iail. but one day for each dollar of the bring the grand total of the possible imprisonment to 2lo years and 300 days. In police court yesterday Dicks attorney offered to compro- mise by paying $150. but Judge Thomas was q triflc obduratc and declined the proffer
 The terrible predicamcnt in which Mr. frdmans finds himself is due to his failure to pay his license tax for operating q real estate office in the city of Phoenix. His delinquency covers q period Of fourteen quarters, or three and one half years At S7J0 per quarter hr would owe the city about $105 back license tax But the
 
 against him is not one in which 1t iS sought to recover the amount he is delinquent, but charges that for every day in the past fourteen quar- tcrs he has been operating Il real estate business without having first paid his city license tax. The city ordinance provides Il penalty for so operating of not less than $5 per day, or more than 500 per day. or not less than five days in the city jail nor more than 3oo days, or both such fine and imprisonment, In addition. in lieu of the payment of fine assessed the convicted party must spend one day in the city jail for every dollar of the fine re- maining unpaid.
 When ErdmanS appeared in city police court yesterday he was ac- companied by Attorney Walton. The lawyer immediately moved for dis lniSSal. contenIiDS that under the state statutes the city recorders court does not actually exist; that if such q court docs exist. it does not have jurisdiction where q fine of such magnitude is possible and fur ther. that the city of Phoenix. as a corporation does not really exist.
 Judge Thomas very carefully dis sected the argument of the attorney and after showing that in general way they seemed quite far fetched = denied the motion for dismissal
 City Assessor and Tax Collector c W. Barnett and License Inspector Mealy were the only witnesses sworn for the prosecution. and these testi- fled to facts which probably will not be contested by the defendant. Ad- journment was then taken until Thursday afternoon, when il is hoped the case may be concluded.
 The real issue at stake is the le- gality of taxing the real estate deal CTS of Phoenix under the city license tax ordinance. But it seems to have been virtually. recognized by the de fendant yesterday when, through his attorney. an offer was made to pay the license tax for the present quar- ter. amounting to s1.5o

BAD ORANGE SHIPMENTS
 HURT CALIFORNIA NAME
Los Angeles Dealers Send Frosted Fruit to East and Receive Many Kicks. Remedy Is
 Suggested
What is d good orange?

What is q good orange?
 That is a question that is occupy ing the minds of California dealers and growers. and it seems far from be- ing solved. Trouble has followed the shipment of frosted fruit to the cas- tern market with tho representation that it is uniniured by the cold. The fruit has come back on the com mission men and they have complain to the Los Angeles wholesalers. In a recent issue of a Los Angeles paper it was stated that elaborate tests are used to determine the condition of a fruit that is not frosted enough to show it on the outside. one that will develop a rotten center while re- maning like PortiaS apple fair and smooth on the rind Under the sub head.

 There are d great many good or angcs in California. Many carloads are being kept on sidings and in other obscure places but still the dealers are trying their best to sell of the injured stock.
 The name of the state is being hurt Steps are being taken to fix the responsibility for the shipments. and to prevent any more bad fruit being sent into the east An aSso- citation with headquarters in Los Angeles is doing it's best to stop the traffic and put the industry on a basis that will be as honest at least as other commercial lines where Jack Frost kept his fingers off

We know from Pepys and from pas
sages in the plays of contemporary
dramatists that the manners Of thea

to believe that even the tops habitual-

Sparkish, Mr. Novel and their fellows
would talk loudly while the play was

their wit to the poets, but they likely

Punished tho Selfish One.

The Bale-Geneva express, says the
London Standard Geneva correspond
ent, was ,overcrowded the other day
and several travellers had to stand In
the corridors of the second class
coaches. One tourist saw a seat vacant.
but covered with luggage, and asked
a passenger sitting near whether the
seat was occupied" YES" replied
the stranger, 1.-The man is in the restau-
rant car. and will return soon."
There the matter ended until the
express reached Lausanne, when the
owner Of all the luggage prepared to
get out.
Pardon me-" said the tourist, that
luggage does not belong to you," and
called the guard. The latter sided with
the tourist. and the whole matter was
placed before the station master. The
selfish traveller had to prove, piece
by piece. that the luggage on the seat
belonged to him, and he finally was
obliged to pay for two second class
tickets. ~

Crocodile In a Tree

- An African hunter once found q
large crocodile hanging in the fork of
a tree about ten feet from the ground
AS the place was fully half a mile
from any water it was difficult to &C:
count for the crocodile's strange posi-.
ton. When questioned about the sub.
5ect the natives explained that it was
put there by an elephant. 1t seems
that when the elephants wade into
the Lake Ngami to- battle the croco-
dies are in the habit of worrying
them and biting their legs. Some.
times when an elephant is annoyed
beyond endurance it picks up its tor
mentor in its trunk. places it among
the branches of tree and leaves it
there.-London Graphic. ST."

from a slender gold chain-she was

morning in automobiles.
The quartet was found in a barn

police headquarters by Patrolman
Vogelsong. They were closely ques-
toned by Chief of Police Gormon
this morning. Thomas Berg claims
that he is on his way to Cincinnati
where he has a position on a steam
boat. Joe Schneider is the same man
who was held at North Vernon some
time ago as the Joe Snyder who
murdered Henry Dayton here. Alex
ander has been termed by the police
as the most persistent bum on rec

shee bill was advanced to engrossment
in the house today without amendment.
The spaces behind the railing around
the chamber were crowded with mer-
chants from all over the state, inter
ested in forwarding the bill. Many of
them were busily engaged in CONVEX
sation with representatives before the
measure was called for second reading
and they enthusiastically applauded to
engrossment. In his speech Mr.. Kee-
gan referred to them sarcastically as
honest merchants that cry out against
the state interfering in the relation be-
tween man and man. but are here to-
day to push this garnishee bill"
Rep Gardner offered an amendment
reducing from ten to five per cent the
amount of wages that might be taken
in a garnishee proceedings. This was
tabled.
Fine chance" said Mr.. Gardner in
in Logansport who tried cases for q
loan company. We say there should
be q sign over his door, all ye who en-
ter here abandon hope"
