LOCAL BOYS MAKE THEIR
 DEBUT AS IMPRESSAR|OS
Ben Masse and Arthur Pickett Col laborate in Most Pleasing Skit.
 Scene Laid at Fair.


 Arthur Pickett ana Ben Massie
 both local boys. make their joint and initial debut as impresarios, authors and composers during the present week, and that before their fellow 1 toWnsmen. Arthur Pickett is em- pIoyed with the Al II. Reeves amuse-
 ment enterprises in the state and l everybody knows Ben Massie. The
 story is simply this:
 Ben macerates the piano at the Empress nights for so much per. Ben 1 is a musician. He does not brae about it, but he delivers the goods to all and sundry. Likewise Ben un- derstands what has to go into the music of a song to carry away the hAndpatting of q large audience In short Ben understands what is meant by the punch in the first paragraph. Pickett, better known as Pick, knows as much about the show busi- ness. sides lines and business, as the man who invented those ideal phe- nomena. He can invent dialogue in his dreams, and it has been said that on occasions when the proVocation has been great enough, he has caused certain lines in certain acts to be substituted in order that the good old pep" may be evident.
 Be all this as it may, Ben and Pick put their heads together some day or 50 ago and decided to write and compose tabloid musical comedy that will have enough local color in 1t to capture the theater- goers of the southwest. and especially of Arizona. They finished the task in two even ings. and called the one act skit At the Races" It will be produced at the Empress by the Bowker Comedy Company now there, beginning Thursday evening.
 The songs in the piece are really meritorious. They have the punch. which is really enough to make for their composers a few shekcls. There are five of these songs together with the chorus. which carries the title of the peace. The scene is laid at the Arizona State Fair. and one of the decided hits is to be known as At Phoenix at the Fair" Another typical little delight is the Arizona Ride" "A Rastime Dream" a cork ing melody, and the "Automobile honeymoon" are as good as anything in the song line that has been pre- sented to Phoenix thcater- goers in months In fact the words and meIo- dlTS J' tll iHt songs are so much along what are known as the present popular lines, that they cannot possi- bly, be told from the works of the first sellers of the north and east. Theater-g goers in Phoenix will be de- lighted to hear the result of two evenings work by two local boys, and to see that it more than meas ures up to what is being touted as first-line stuff by the profession wis iting this section.

net solos. The governor sat as in a deep study. A tear rolled down his rugged cheek and then a smile spread over his countenance. The troopers gathered about the execu- tive. broke into cheers and hand clapping. and the boys were obliged to respond to an encore.
 Those boys" said the governor. have been made the better through being allowed to become identified with this musical oreanization. A long time ago I promised the boys that if they would be good and give close attention to their musical studies I would endeavor to arrange it so they could have this outing From bad boys. the kind parents call incorrigible, l find them transformed into boys of real spirit and true worth. I look for them to become good men and desirable citizens"
 Just because they are in camp has not relieved them of their usual routine work. Carl GungiI their aged director, is a stickler for dis cipline. For twenty nine years he was a cavalry bandmaster and in later yeasr was in charge of Fort Grant. He has had the boys under his direction only four months, but in that time has accomplished won ders. The boys are favorites in camp and no parade is now complete with out them. Each evening at parade they lead the entire regiment in pa rade and review before the coIors and play the Star -Spangled Ban ler' as the colors are being lowered 'Or the night

 AN ERROR CORRECTED-In yes terday mornings issue of The RepubIf- can in the story of the state budget. it appeared that the tax comission es- timated appropriation would be $66,- 300 for the year 1913-14.

The estimated ap- prOpriation for the land commission and other state activities comes out of the s66300 mentioned.

Has Been Settled.

Lynbrook, Long Island Aug. The
public inquiry to establish the paternity
OF Vera Kathleen Bland, infant daush-
ter of Miss Florence Half. was dropped
to-day. when the Town Counsel an
nounced that a settlement had been
made which relieved the town of the
burden OF bringing UP the child Miss
Half testified last week that the father
was the wealthy church worker and
philanthropist. William r. w. Han.
Mr. Half denied this. and asserted that
his efforts To relieve the distress of the
Young mothers family led TO his being
involved in the scandal
When Mr.. Smith appearing for the
Overseer of the Poor. said that an ad-
justment satisfactory to the town had
been made, John Morton Levy, repre-
senting Mr. Half. said that neither Mr.
HaH nor his counsel had made an ad-
justment with the town. and demanded
that the case go on.
Mr. Half seemed To think that there
was some political significance in the
bringing OF the charge and said some
thing about laying the whole matter be-
fore the grand jury.
