MONDAY WAS
HOTTEST DAY
Of THE YEAR
ONLY ONCE BEFORE THIS SEA-
SON-JUNE 28-DID THE MER-
Curry REACH THE MARK AT
TANNED YESTERDAY.

Yesterday was one Of the two hot
test days of the year. The mercury
rose to 105 with a minimum of 10
last night.
This is the second time this season
that the mercury has reached that
point. On June 2S the mercury at the
government observatory here regis
tered 105.
The prolonged dry spell is getting
more serious with the farmers every
-. Some maintain that a rain
wo~ 10 them no good at this sea-
son, as their corn is hurt beyond re-
pair. Although cotton is looking good
planters are hoping for a rain before
it becomes fruited they maintaining
that if the rain delays until after the
bolls are formed heavy rain will
strip the stalks. Corn in the bottom
lands is not suffering materially, and
will make good crop.

COMMITTEE UNABLE TO AGREE
ON PROVISIONS OF RAILROAD
SECURITIES BILL.
FOR JOINT SESSION
Senate Interstate Commerce and Ju-
dietary Committees to Hold Joint
Session to Consolidate the Clayton
Trust Bill With Securities Bill.

Washington, D. c., July 1.-THE
administration antitrust bill struck
another snag today in the senate in
terstate commerce committee.
The committee is unable to agree
whether the railroad securities bill
merely provides a supervision of the
issues of stocks and bonds or also
regulates the purpose for which these
issues are to be used
The prospects are good for joint
session with the/senate judiciary
committee to consolidate the Clayton
trust bill with the securities bill.

SENATOR Sv;;;;;;;;'+ S5 +:,.,..,
WILL Be HERE
ON JULY 23.
SENATOR GORE HAS MANY
STRONG SUPPORTERS IN CAR.
TER COUNTY-HIS WORK IN
SENATE SATISFACTORY.

Senator Gore will be in Ardmore
Thursday night, July 23, and will ad-
dress the Carter county voters in
this city. This information came di.
rect today from Gore headquarters
in Oklahoma City. Efforts are being
made to have Senator Gore as one Of
the attractions for the anniversary
picnic here July 27 and 2S. Senator
Gore has always been favorite with
the people of southern Oklahoma.
They are always pleased when there
is an opportunity to hear him speak
He has many old-time friends here.
some of whom knew him in Mississip-
pi and some in Texas. Those who
know him bestS those who were rear
ed near the Gore home in Mississippi;
those who were in school with him,
and those who knew him in Texas,
are his active supporters in this por-
ton of Oklahoma.
The people here generally seem to
be of the opinion that the Gore and
Owen team in the United States SEN
ate is an ideal one. 1t is an ideal
team for the reason that Bob Owen
has interested himself with the great
financial problems of the country. He
has gone deeply into the study of
national questions that affect all the
states alike. While he has been alb
sorbed in the great work of national
legislation, Senator Gore has ably
stood at his side and aided him, and
has given a great deal of his atten-
tion to the detail work of his own
state. He has kept closely in touch
with the Oklahoma people. No letter
Is ever overlooked, no request goes
by unheeded. Both men are imnort-
ant, both have directed their ener
gies in a way that has perfected
service in the United States senate
such as perhaps no other state mas.
Senator Gore has made reply to the
Ames speech delivered in Oklahoma
City against him. He states that
Ames is a corporation lawyer, that |
ne expects to be assailed from that |
source. He states further that advice |
rom men like Ames is a warning 10
De stunned more than a guide to
lirect the ballot. The senator states
urther that the man Keaton who in
reduced Ames was a Cleveland ap-
,ointee, and said that he was not
! Cleveland democrat then and he is
lot a Cleveland democrat now, and
lie expects to be opposed by that
lass of politicians. With reference
o the date of that speech he said
attorney Ames came within two years
f telling the truth. The speech was
elivered in 1894 instead of 1896.
hat he was not opposed to Bryan
nd did what he could to urge people
0 support William Jennings Bryan
n 1896.
Senator Gore is of the opinion that
e will lead in the primary election
n the fourth of August by $4,000
otes. His friends may not share with
i'm in the opinion that he will lead
y that majority, but they do expect
i'm to win by one of the big Okla
oma majorities.

The Coliseum

One of the most pleasant surprises booked at the Coliseum in many a day comes in the shape of the Will bur, Harrington O., tumblers, sing CTS and novelty acrobats. Many of the older Phoenix theatre goers will remember several seasons ago, a team of tumblers who played the Coliseum, and among their numer- ous startling tricks, was a standing jump with complete flip-flop and half twister to a table. This trick is considered one of the hardest in acrobatics to accomplish. In doing a similar trick a member of Mr Harrington's company was killed in the east several years ago. The feat requires not only an extremely steady nerve, but a remarkable ability to judge distance. The bill this week might well be termed one of feat ures entirely. Johnny Brace, the we'll known blackface comedian, has been added and will appear in one of his inimitable negro delinea- ton specialties which have been the talk of the theatrical fraternity for many years.

CoIumbia's New Show Tonight

Interest of the entire city throbs in the new bill at the Columbia tonight for aside from the promise of sev-
 eral good acts of the usual quota there will be an added extra feature in the form of Walter Montague's thrilling playlet, The New Chief of Police" which has the astounding record of over 10000 admissions in the two weeks engagement at Los Angeles. Probably not in years has q stage presentation of any social. moral topic provoked the tremendous discussion as has been engendered by 'The New Chief of Police" and as the thesis is on broad lines and quite in keeping with local happen ings, it is quite likely the value of this feature will be widely discussed pro and con in Phoenix before the close of the week. No less an actor than Harry Siebert smith essays the stellar role, and is co star with Mar gue,ite Foss. Morosco leading won- an of established reputation. Grace
