The city council adopted last
night resolution authorizing the pur-
chase of the Brown land for septic
tank purposes, all voting aye except
Alderman Gohrke, who voted no. AL
derman Hayter explained his vote by
saying that while he was opposed to
the purchase, if he voted no the reso-
luton was lost, and he did not propose
to hold up the much-needed improve
ment any lor ger. The city, he said,
would, however, rue the day it made
the purchase.

BUYS BROWN PROPERTY
COUNCIL VOTES DOWN THE UG-
Low PROPOSITION.
Suit May Be Instituted to Compel
Dallas to Comply With Result of
Arbitration Board.

AT an adjourned session of the city
council last Friday evening the coun-
Gil declined to further consider the
purchase of the Uglow tract of land
as site for the proposed septic tank,
and afterwards voted to buy the
Brown property, the latter being pric-
ed at 5000 as against $500 for the
former. Aldermen Hayter and West
over voted for the Uglow site, Alder
men Barber, Miller and Knight casting
their ballot against it, Aldermen
Young and Gohrke were absent. After
this proposition had been voted down,
a vote was taken on the Brown tract,
the three aldermen who voted against
the Uglow land voting for this, and
visa versa.
Prior to balloting on the Uglow
property, the owner was asked if he
would accept 5000 for that part of the
land lying in his hop field, and he
promptly refused to entertain the Of
fer. He declared that he had dispos-
ed of the entire piece to the city of
Dallas for $500, the price decided
upon by the arbitrators, and that he
would accept payment therefor with
interest at 6 per cent from the date of
that decision. From the evidence at
hand it would appear that the coun-
cilmen have bought two sites for the
septic tank-one through arbitration,
the other by majority vote of
the aldermanic body. There appears
to be no question but that Mr.. Uglow
will attempt to force the city to con-
summate the purchase in accordance
with its agreement by making pay
ment therefor.

Victor Hugo's Great Characterization
 With Realistic Care to Detail

In many instances. the mere mention that a motion picture play will be shown in nine reels is sufficient to prejudice people against it, because so many of the longer features are palp- ably "fatted" out. Les Miserables'' which was given it's initial PhoeuiX screening at the Empress last night. is the exception. Throughout the entire two hours and a half, required for tre showing, the crowded theater Was completely engrossed in the portrayal. To those who have read this master piece of Victor Hugo, the necessity f)r the nine reels is readily understood
 The photoplay, itself, beggars de scription. The magnificent deliniation of Jean Naljean, as portrayed by the internationally noted star Henri krauss, of the Paris theater Saran Bernhardt, is simply in a class by itself as is also "Cosette' in the cap- able hands of La Petite Froment of the Theater du Vaudeville

Cupid, as usual, is busy in June and that makes business for Balke's Big Curio Store, for a wedding gift is almost as essential as a marriage license There is only one place in his county to go for marriage li- censes and it appears that the friends of the brides believe that there is only one place to go fo.' wedding gifts, Balkes Big Curio store
 While the Big Curio store IS not an official purveyor of wedding gifts, the great number of them, the var- ety and the reasonable terms on which they are sold make it THE place. There is in fact. no other place where there is such an array such delicate and beautiful Mexican drawn work, such a display of Indian jeWelry or such an assortment of Indian blankets. These all make ideal wedding gifts.
 But all the sales being made by the Big Curio store are not of we'd ding gifts Hundreds of presents for people back home are being collect 1, ed by Phoenicians who are getting -eady to go back and see the folks They are going to tell them all about Arizona and they are taking souve- nirs of the state along to show them.-( -(Advertisement)

TRIAL OF EARL OF CAMBRIDGE

In the reign of Henry Y there was plot discovered against the monarch's life. but who were the real plOtterS could never be definitely ascertained Those who were suspected were be- trayed by one Edmund Mortimer, Earl of March, and afterwards executed.
 History informs us that the would ne assassins were promised million of gold by Charles VI, king of France, for which they were to either kill Henry while en route on a voyage he was taking, or, if this could not be done; to deliver him into the power of the French monarch. To make the de- sign look more real, and partly to se- cure more support, they told all their plans to Edmund, the Earl of March, pretending that it was their design to put him on the throne, to which he had little claim. One thing, however. that the prudent conspirators kept to themselves was their employer, and the money that they should receive.
 When first told of the plan, Morti- mer would not have anything to do with it, but later, when shown the ad- vantages that would accrue, he prom ised to agree if they would but. give him one hour to think it over. Upon gaining his liberty to consult whom he would instead of either going in the plot or drawing out, he went straight to Henry with the whole tale of the plot. Perhaps it was because he was frightened, or perhaps again because of the favor he hoped to gain.
 When the king heard the tale he could hardly believe his ears. and, cal | ling the conSpirators together, he asked them What those deserved that could he guilty of such a treason, | They merit. said the usurpers, ''tC 1 expire in horrid torments, to deter oth | CTS from the like crime" As they ut | tered these words the king ordered them to be seized. After apprehension | they were brought before the monarch l and the nObles with him, where the n- l dictments were read as follows:-
 That Richard. Earl of Cambridge of Coningsburg, in the county of York and Thomas Grey, of Heaton in tn, | county of Northumberland, had, on tn, | twentieth of July, in the third year O
 the reign of King Henry. conspire,
 with number of men to have le, | away the Lord Edmund. Earl of March 1 into Wales, and to have procured hin | to take the government of the realm
