Advice TO
| Money Savers

DON'T put your savings into an

BAD FREIGHT
 FACILITIES
Characterize Phoenix De- pots of Santa Fe and $. P., According to Opinion of Corporation Commis- sion Yesterday

In the opinion of the corporation commission the freight housing and freight depot facilities of the Santa Fe and Southern Pacific railroads in Phoenix are grossly inadequate. This opinion was announced in the two cases yesterday and comes as a result of a hearing and investigation held last March, at which time the complaints of teamsters and shippers were thorough ly investigated When the hearing was held both the defendant companies were represented before the commission.
 In speaking of the matter yesterday one Of the commissioners said: This opinion of the corporation commission is not a definite order to improve the facilities that are offered shippers, but is in the nature of a warning to the railroads to improve their premises and facilities down there so that the ship ping and receiving public will be treat ed with a greater degree of celerity.
 At the time of the hearing evidence was produced to show that delays both to teams and teamsters of shippers are matters Ol COlIlIlbH OCCuItuCt anu llldl these delays are really indefensible We thought that this would be a warn ing and that some attempts would be made to improve the service. It how ever has been made plain to the com mission that nothing was done anI hence this order.
 Tt does not touch the passenger traffic or the passenger depot facilities | dealing only with freight depots. bu | unless something is done in the neal l future I should not be surprised if tht commission decided to prescribe jus what improvements will have to b, made there As it is the commission in this opinion gives the railroad corn pany "a reasonable time" in which tt perform those things set out in tn order
 The commission admitted that tn passenger depots are now receiving th consideration of the commission.

ARIZONA LEADS IN PER CAPITA
 SCHOOL COST
Superintendent C. o. Case Tells Teachers Associa- tion at Tucson Meeting That This State Leads, With California Second
Especial to The Republican,

Special to The Republican,
 TUCSON, Ariz., Dec 26.-In an in teresting address today before the Arizona State Teachers association. opening the two days session of that organization in this city, c. O. Case, state superintendent of schools pro- duced facts and figures to show that the schools of this state spends more money per capita in the education of it's children than does any other state in the whole union. California is in second place, as shown by MT. Case. This is interesting in that last year the second place was held by Ari- zOna while the first honors went to the state of the Golden Gate. In creased activity in the schools in this state was graphically shown by MT Case He spoke especially of the schools of the Salt River valley dis trict where the increase of attendance and the increase in plants has been the most marked. The added interest in the population of the new state, and the attitude all in the state take toward educational matters was also the subject of praise as MT. Case saw it.
 Arthur Henry Chamberlain, editor of the Sierra Educational News of san Francisco, the chief speaker of the two days session. led the discus sion on "The Lifting Power of Liter ature." MT Chamberlain is especially fitted to speak on such matters since 1,; -hn1 in study of educational matters, and is at the present time one of the United States authorities on such matters. His main issue in todays subject was the ethical value attached to litera ture. and the better side of the read er which it invariably appeals to.
 A. K. Stabler superintendent of the Phoenix high schools, spoke on The Ethics of the Employment of a Teacher" Illustrating his arguments by showing the advanced methods of choosing and employing teachers in this state.
 C. z. NewsOm. superintendent Of the Tucson high schools spoke to the teachers gathered on the subject of the training of the high school teach CT. Mir. NeWsOm has had several years experience in high school work and his work in the University of Arizona prior to the time he took over the Tucson high school makes him a good authority on such points. He argued that the teacher can have too much book and not enough prac- tical knowledge, but that if the two are combined there can be no limit to efficiency.
 Miss Julia R. Batemen, of the Uni versity of Arizona, who has had several years experience with the deaf. dumb and blind. spoke to the assembly most interestingly of De fective Children" Her illustrations were the most striking part of the lecture.
 The program ended with genera discussion of school matters led by w F. LutZ, of the Douglas city schools. The sessions of the associa- 1ion are more than well attended there being present more than 3O' teachers from all parts of the state Meetings are held in the assembly room of the Tucson high schoo where there is ample room for tho whole gathering.

DEAD MOTE IS HORR|D:
 HITTING, II IS GREAT
This Is Flippant Narrative o' Philosophy Producing Adventure
 of Earnest G. Douglas

The motorcycle as a failure to the news getter, is a tremendous high tension, free -engned cylinder, nickel plated failure.
 The entire philosophy of Earnest Douglas, a local reporter is summed up in that sentence. Except when the joy of the open road gets into his veins and swells them and sends a warm glow of happiness all over the system, which has been seldom with Mir. Douglas since he acquired his bran splinter new twin cylinder Injun mote. One of the times when Earnie hated life and wanted the earth to yawn and swallow him and his mount was yesterday afternoon Thusly:
 With all the grace of team dodg ing bicycled newsie on a Phoenix paved street, Douglas rode up to the left hand side of the postoffice yes terday afternoon. He dismounted stacked his machine and went inside So far so classy.
 Then he came out, drawing on { pair of riding gloves, surveyed the world with complete satisfaction-th4 kind that's closely allied to pride and sot himself down on the saddle The swing of his good right leg ovel the back of his iron horse was ap proved according to the best putteet hero standards in the latest releas of the Murder and Sudden DeatI movies. Not being equipped with al electric self starter, Douglas had {, use leg power He turned 'er over dozen times-note: maker guarantee machine to start inside of five com plete revolutions.
 'Ka-a-a-a-a Chuff," said the mote and repeated it couple of times
 As Douglas relaxed onto the saddl and let his engine come to a jerkin stop under compression, his face be came o'ershadowed with a look c rained surprise. The darned thin hadn't ought to act that way nohoy

SCHMIDT IS SPANNING
Voted Alenist Does Not Believe Slayer of Anna Aumuler Is
 Insane
ASSOCIATED PRESS DISPATCH


 NEW YORK, Dec 26.-That Hans Schmidt now on trial for the murder of Anna Aumuller, has been sham mlng insanity was the burden of the testimony given today by four alien lsts appearing for the state. Dr. Carlos F. Mcdonald testified that on September A, the accused priest had told him: T did it. I am willing for the law to take it's course and you can have my body"
 Dr. Mcdonald gave it as his opin- ion that Schmidt lis a man of su- perior intelligence" and that he slammed insanity much more cleverly than an ignorant person could have done. He also thought it possible that the four alienists of the de- fense had been successfully deceived by the accused. Three other physi- clans testified along similar lines

SINGERS CLUB
 MAKES b|G HIT
Phoenix Young Men Give Another Enjoyable Affair at Woman's Club Build ing-Mrs. Fawcett and k. E. Hale Score Heavily

The Christmas concert and dance most enjoyable affair, just the kind of froic that fits in with the holi- day season. If anyone left the WOm ans club last night in anything eX- cept a good humor it was because their Christmas dinner had not agreed with them
 The concert program was made up of light and popular numbers, it was well sung with world of enthusiasm that pleased the audience immensely. the best part of it was that the singers seemed to get as much fun out of it as the audience, which is saying a great deal. The informality CT the concerts given by the Singers club is one of their chief charms is never disappointed.
 The chorus is in no immediate danger of eXcelling either the Men delssohn Glee club or the Singers club of New York, after which it is patterned; but it may flatter itself that it gives a whole lot of enjoy ment to the denizens of the Salt River valley.
 "A Toast to Wisconsin," "A Win ter Song" the famous old "Tinkers Song from Robin Hood, and Paul Bliss "Serenade" stood out as par ticularly well sung numbers. The Darkey Sunday School" written for the club by Elton Ensign Hale. with Lester Byron singing the solo and MT. Hale at the piano. was the big hit of the evening In the first place It is an excellent song for a male chorus, it is bright and catchy and the chorus abounds in good old fashioned ''swipes" that are dear to the heart of all glee clubs. It was MT. Byrons first appearance as a singer and he more than made good. He was compelled to give numerous eneores and would probably be at ii yet II he had not run out of words. The soloist of the evening was Mrs. E. Q. Fawcett. of Pasadena Mrs FaWcett has particularly sweet and well trained soprano voice of sympathetic quality and her numbers Were thoroughly enjoyed She is T welcome addition to Phoenix.
 The dance which followed the con- cert was one of the prettiest of the season; in fact one wonders how fhoenlX ever got along without this cIup 0t young men. IL is an organ l lZatlon of real merit and would be an asset to any community. If any criticism is to be made. it is that thelr entertainments are too few and far between.

GREATEST MOVING PICTURE
 EVER SHOWN IN PHOENIX
Verdict of All Who Have Seen Last
 Days of Pompeii"

The Last Days of Pompeii" is without doubt the finest moving pie ture ever shown in Phoenix This was the message conveyed to the editorial rooms of The Republican last night no less than three times by subscribers Of the paper who attend el the performance at the Elks the ater last night The Kleine master piece has been sweeping the country like wild fire. From every section where the films have been shown comes the report that never was such
 business done with moving picture before. It tells the story of the i burial of that wonderful Ceasarian city. of Italy, under the streams of molten lava from Mount Vesuvius in thrilling dramatic and intense way. Six reels are necessary to tell the story and these are tinted and col ! ored in the highest artistic manner. To add to the appreciativeness of the show at the Elks, it will be con ] tinued today and tomorrow with ma : tinees each day, the management pur- chased yesterday a brand new Edi son projection machine and it was
 used last night for the first time ] This added to the effectiveness of the picture one hundred fold. The uni , versal opinion is that the picture is
 simply great.
 The same management showed the picture in Salt Lake city and in the 1 three days engagement 19,263 people saw the picture. In little old Albu-
 querque in two days nearly five
 thousand admissions were paid to seC
 the pictorial translation of Bulwel
 Lytton's famous novel. Manager 1 sherman of the Crystal theater there
 said that twice that number coulC
 have been secured had the capacit!
 of the house been sufficient
