ADJUSTMENTS
"The Tourist"


 The fun is on again at the Elm press. with a vehicle known as The Tourist in which the old favorites score heavily time after time. This is one of the most pleasing little skits that has been shown, and takes it's stand well up with the other sue cesses of the present competent com pany which holds the boards al the popular Empress theater. The setting of this piece is very effective, and the electrical effects are novel. As usual, the favorites, Kelly, Lawson, Marshall, Rowe and Vail, handle themselves in a manner that brings forth much hearty applause. Deserving especial mention are the musical numbers in trOGuced in this bill. Miss Rowe scored the hit of them all, singing very effectively Where the Suwanee River Flows" This is a beautiful bal lad, and in the hands of this clever artiste is a great success. MT. Mar shall receiVed several encores, sing ing Rag, Rag, Rag a lively ragtime number, during which he is ably as sisted by the chorus. MT. Lawson is meeting with much favor, singing The Arizona Girl" This is a very apprO- priate number and goes big. Miss Vail, who never fails to please, is of fering in great style When They Do That Suwanee River Bend" during which she also, is materially assisted by the clever work of the chorus. Taken all in all, the bill is one of the best vet produced, and a good run is assured for the latter part of the week The moving picture program embraced both side-splitting comedy and a scenic educational release de picting Captain Scott's Heroic Dash to the South Pole" This film caused no end of favorable comment and in the opinion of many far eXcels the Carnegie Alaska films which were eX- hibited here some time since.

THE LOST MAN" DIES IN LAKE
 AT ROOSEVELT
Three-day Mystery at Dam City Solved When Steb- bins is Found Dead in the Lake Yesterday - Aid Came Too Late

Death by accident falling one hun dred feet from the road way to the edge of the Roosevelt lake. was the verdict returned by coroner's jury which sat upon the case of F. B. Stebbns, the mysterious Host man" for whom the reclamation service people have been searching since his disappearance from the Roosevelt ho- tel Tuesday evening.
 That the death of Stebbins might have been self inflicted is a theory supported by many facts concerning his actions since his arrival in Phoe- nix. Undoubtedly very ill, probably broke he went to Roosevelt to be- come an employe of the Roosevelt Mercantile company He was in bad shape on his arrival at the hotel. The ride had exhausted his feeble strength. and he was scarcely able to walk He signed the register. and then simply dropped out of sight. leaving a note under his pillow for his people in Flagstaff. If the wa ters of the lake had closed over him then-as they did later-he could not have been more completely lost. Un til his body was found floating in the eddy just back of the dam at noon yesterday. he was the lost man. of the reclamation service.
 Stebbins sent a wire, phoned through to the Phoenix office, and addressed to brother. C. W. Steb- bins at WatsonviIIe Junction, Cal. He asked for money. Wednesday, the money arrived and with it a wire for the unfortunate man, but then it was too late. He had already been lost to sight.
 The same brother and another J. w. Stebbins of Modesto. is now on his way to Phoenix to take charge of the body He will be met by wires from the authorities at Roosevelt, and directed to come there. Mean while the body is being held at Roosevelt, awaiting orders from the relatives.
 Manager Webb of the hotel and the one from whom the wires came, would say nothing beyond the meager facts presented here. It is however practically certain that Stebbins either sick and delirious, or bent on ending his life, wandered from the hotel along the road. and somewhere, somehow. cast himself from the high road to the waters edge. where the waves claimed him.

THE birthday of James Whitcomb
 Riley, the Hoosier poet, will be celebrated on October '. The day will be recognized at many schools, libraries and literary clubs through out the country.
 James Whitcomb Riley is known to many through his delightful verses, but only the few know of his early days of struggles, when he toured the country with a medicine show and i2tel IS an itincrant sign painter He first became known in a literary way as editor of the Demo- crat, small country daily published in the town of Anderson, Ind.
 While he was editing this paper he often wrote verses which he sent to the magazines. They invariably came back with polite rejection slips. Finally it occurred to him that if he were to write something over name already famous it would be received without question, regardless of is merits. To test it

GETTYSBURG SPEECH
 MODERNIZED

The alumni of four score and seven years ago organized a foot ball team, conceived bv old stars and dedicated to the proposition that they could beat the High School Team.
 We are soon to be engaged in a great game, testing whether that alumni team or any other team so conceived and so dedicated can long endure against the High School Team"
 This game will be played at Grant Park, Saturday, October 11th at o'clock.
 Thereafter We will dedicate a portion of that field as final resting place for the alumni boys. It IS altogether fitting and proper that we should do this.
 The world will little note nor long remember what the alumni boys do, but it can never forget what the High School boys do. Therefore. be it highly resolved mat our boys shall not fight in vain, and from them we shall take increased devotion to our school also that this school, for the nupiIs and by the pupils. shall win the Alumni game Saturday
 The above also applies to the Pfescott High School team which Will play our boys at Grant Park October. IS, 1913

H SUPPORTERS HAVE BIG TIME
 AT ASSEMBLY
Alumni and All on Hand to Whoop'er Up for Big Game on Saturday Speeches and Pep Feature Gathering

The final tolly-up assembly of the high and the alumni proceeding the game which the teams of the two bod ies will play on the coming Saturday, took place in the auditorium of the high yesterday morning at 1O:3O. It was the last chance for the raising of spirit, the final opportunity for letting the people know that the scholars of the school are behind the athletics of the school, the supreme effort of the new season in bringing the men and women of the city into closer touch with the school and athletics of the school It was all this and mOre,-lt was a bowling success, put over with the vim and force which has marked the actions of the Coyotes this year.
 Several formal announcements by the superintendent of the schools Pro lessor A K Stabler, were the first things on the program, and the busi- ness of the day over, the rest of the assembly hour was given to the enjoy ment of the program, and the raising of spirit.
 ''Spuds'' Arnold, the original imitatOr of the school, was invited to tell all about the game in his own words, all of which he did in a way which brought the house to him. His was the original "Why be there" speech. In song, Joe Johnson pulled the ''Why be there" stunts, rendering parodies on the later songs which told of the slaughter about to be and inviting all to par ticipate in the offering which the Co., votes will make to the worshipful diety of the grid Saturday
 Secretary of State Sidney P Osborn, president of the alumni association etc. etc. responded tot he request of the presiding officer of the day, and told the scholars of the former times in the school, while Bill Horren, coach of the Alumni Prairie Dogs. let the au- dience have a little idea of how the has -beens" feel about the outcome of the contest
 The prime factor of the celebration, the climax of the day was the stunt of the girls. Six of them, from the up- per classes, came on the stage in the costume of foot ball. girls They were attired in red jerseys. and the center of the half dozen carried the ball On the stage, the signal for the play was called, the ball was passed and the play finished.

 The campaign for the selling of tick cts for the game was inaugurated with Miss Beulah Van Sant as the captain of ten girls, and Ralph Johnson as the captain of the selling team of ten boys. There will be a general rivalry in sec ing who in the students will dispense with the majority of the cardboards, and to the winners, in the boys and the girls, there will be given prizes suit able for the work and the time put in on the job
 During the whole of the entertain ment there was the band of the high on the stage, and at the beginning Of the program, and at intervals between numbers and speeches they entertained with their music The members of the band deserve real praise for their work in the school. They have given their time and energy to the making of an organization which will be one of the biggest and best boosting organs of the school at the games, and which will advertise the school outside all other booster clubs of the scholars. The members of the band are as follows: Fernando Rodriguez. director; Glen Jones, solo cOrnet; Ralph Johnson, first cornet; Floyd Craver, first alto; Lloyd Jones, second alto; F'elizardo Rosas, baritone; Oscar Rosas. first trombone; Everett Barkley, second trombone; Alexander Rosas. bass, manager; Fred Perry. snare drums and Joe Johnson, bassdrum.
 The exercises were closed by the funeral chant of the Yaquis as con- ceived by Joe Johnson, and which served as a fit requiem to the forlorn, already defeated team of the Prairie Dogs

Coliseum

For films of unusual interest that embrace real stories of baseball life as it really is, the tWo-reel feature, Breaking in the Big Leagues" which was shown for the first time at the Coliseum last night, easily eXcels them all. The picture clearly shows the great MatheWsOn and numbers of the boys who have been largely responsible for the standard attained by baseball in the present age; also the Giants in action, which. coming a this time of the year, with the worlds series in full swing, proves an attraction well worth while. The film met with so much approval, in fact that it will be run again to- night, making it possible to enjoy the piture once more With this feature are three acts, all up to standard in ability and of an entertaining nature Romanelli, the ViOlinist, is most charming with his various renditions and never fails to receive much ap plause The Carr trio are seen to good advantage in refined singing and talking skit. "In Dummeyville' is the title of a very amusing sketch, ventriloquil in nature. which really borders on the mystifying, inasmuch as both members of the team are expert in this line, and their clever work meets with no end of aprecia- tiOn.

King BaggOt, who plays the lead in The Only Melody" which is shown at the Lion today, is said to be not only the finest-loOking, but also the best actor, in the movies. The Only Melody is a twO-reel feature pro duction by the Imp company, and is a drama full of intense situations that demand much ability on the part of the players, and from criticisms from those who are in a position to know, it is said to be one of the best films yet produced. The balance of the program today is very interesting, embracing a comedy by the Powers company. entitled, The Friendly Neighbors," and the Universal Week. ly, showing interesting happenings from all parts of the world.

 You know I always want you to look your best-and your best is mighty good, little girl. So let's not quarrel about that"
 T don't believe I could get ready now, anyhow. She wanted us to be there at o'clock.
