Of winter wheat is nearing compile
ton. The yields generally are running
above condition, indications and q crop
Of $50, 000, 900 bushels on announced
| acreage seems assured. Spring wheat
is in good state excessive rains having
done small damage. The soil is amply
fortified with moisture to make the
crop. The one danger is an outbreak
Of black and destructive rust. The
past week though conditions were un-
favorable for the development of the
rust spores, the market was disturbed
by ~unfounded reports of its prevalence
in scattered localities. Until the crop
has reached maturity the plant is in
danger from this infection. Hot stag
nant weather breeds the rust spores

be the best guide. The oats crop in
northern tier Of states and down to
the lower tier of counties in Iowa is
in good condition with the harvest
working northward. Rains yer a
large part of the dry area the past
week and gave corn the needed relief.
NOrthward the corn has been set pack

old, of 3O2 North Second street.

$1,000 in the Fourth Precinct Court
by Judge Herr today to await the
action of the grand jury on the
charge of larceny from the person.
Lieutenant Lawrence, of police head

Blum as a professional pickpocket.
Blum was one ~of three men who
jostled Joseph Del Priore, of % Four
teenth avenue, yesterday afternoon,
on a north bound Clifton avenue car.
which was proceeding through Bel
mont avenue. Del Priore found after
being jostled that a wallet with $39
was gone from an inside vest pocket.
The three jostlers got off the car
at Springfield and Belmont avenues,
and Del Priore followed, telling his
story to Traffic officer Benz. The
three started to run west on Spring
field avenue, but Benz caught Blum
at the corner of Beacon street. The
other two got away.

TOMORROW Will
Be THE LAST DAY
FOR REGISTRATION
Voters Must Enroll in Order to
Cast Ballots at General
Election.

Tomorrow is the last registration
day for the general election on No
vember 8. Voters who have not al
ready registered will have to in
scribe their names on the poll books
tomorrow or lose their chance of vot-
ing without applying to the courts.
The registry board will sit from
D. m. until p. m. Voters must APP
pear before the board and register in
person. If they fail to do this 1t will
be necessary to apply to the courts to
be qualified for voting.
Those who voted at last years cleo
ton are not qualified to vote at this
years election without registry. Last
years vote qualified citizens to vote
at last months primaries, only, and
does not make them eligible to vote
on November 3 without registering.
There is widespread impression
that voters at last years election do
not have to register this year. I'm
less this impression is corrected,
scores of voters will be disfranchised
for the 1914 election.
The names are automatically car
ried over from last years general
election to the primary election of
this year, but further registry is
necessary to qualify for the general
election on November 8.
If the voter registered himself for
the 1914 general election at the time
he voted at the primary election last
month, he is qualified to vote and
does not have to register further.
This was done in a great many cases.
In some cases when voter neglected
to register while casting his primary
vote, the election officers often called
his attention to the oversight. This
is a duty imposed upon the election
officers, but might have been over
looked in many cases.
II a citizen cast his vote at the pri-
mary without registering his name on
the poll books for the November cleo
ton, he will have to register tomor-
row or he will be forced to apply to
the courts to save his vote.
The board will be prepared to in
form any doubtful persons whether
or not they have qualified to vote. 1t
would be we'll for those in doubt to
see the board and become satisfied of
their standing. This would prevent
many disappointments on election
day, when it is too late to rectify the
error.

Judge Harry V. Osborne, of the

Local Carpenter Silently Closes Busy Life After Eating Heavily and Pay ing His Score In Local Restaurant.

While in the act of finishing heavy dinner of steak, potatoes and other edibles, Henry B. Bascom, a well-known carpenter and joiner of this city, fell over dead in his chair at the French kitchen on West Washington street last night at about 10:30 o'clock.
 Walter Hayt of the undertaking firm of Merryman X Hayt. happened to be passing and was called in find ing the man past all hope.
 Coroner Johnson was at once mo- tified and instructed Hayt to remove the body to the morgue until this morning when the inquest will be held.
 Officer McGrath conducted the ofri cers and undertaken to the place of abode of the dead man at the corner of Eighth avenue and Washington, where letters addressed to him re- vealed his name and that he has a brother in Alleghany, New York named George H.

Opening of Most Beautiful Theater in Arizona Last Night With a Splendid Bill Before a Crowded House
(SAlCIE JACOBS)

It isn't every day in the week that beautiful and artistic playhouse is opened my dears and one is permitted to pass the evening in the wings and with his honor-the mayor.
 Yes indeed, George U. Young there, for both performances at the Colum- bia running the risk of his life lodging the flats, stage hands and actors. Of course it was all right for me to take a chance but it's different story when it's an official in the case.
 Those stage folk didn't seem bit impressed at our being there, at least that's what I gathered from their con versation and-er-actions. I'm black and blue my dears. Not that they actually beat me but they certainly are neat little showers and pushers.
 To the honorable mayor said scene shifter Hey you give us that en- trance" I was so shocked and I ran after him to explain just who the man was to whom he was speaking so gruff ly, when handsome Frederick O'Farrell and I never thought of it again until this moment. Some one should tell him because the mayor might go back again some time He enjoyed it. They sent us from left to right because they need ed that place for their changes and they were wonderfully quick, I really don't zee how they had time to powder

their noses but they did in addition to slipping on another costume.
 Mayor Young has made q stack of speeches and besides has often been in amateur performances and it was no trick for him to make just the right sort of a short talk.
 Then he watched Ida Lewis dance and told me not to dare print what he said, something awfully complimentary. The De PopilloWs Society Ballroom Dances" made great hit with the leading man of the city and when l inquired how he liked the Gavotte, he answered enthusiastically Pretty" and when he saw my fatal pencil and pad he added conservatively It's good ex- ercise"
 We positively had to pull him back to keep him from going out on the stage with Bele and Grard In straight American language it got him. About this time Miss Jane O'Roak ap- peared to be presented to Mayor Young. She's just as clever as she can be and l predict she will be as popular as that matinee idol Broderick O'Farrell. MT. OFarrell. You'H be glad to learn my dears can do thing or two with those beautiful hands of his when he thinks it's necessary and you should have seen him hustle furniture in place cause We all have to turn in and help on a first night. Miss OROak helped too. The mayor was tired. he's worked and talked and all that sort of thing day and night and it must have been refreshing to listen to.
 "Oh Mayor Young you're speech was all We needed to stimulate us. When I heard you I said to myself there's man who knows how to build climaXes It was perfect. No. he will not mind Nothing to that. l like great, big, handsome strong westerners.

SERVICE COST

 ID BE CHANGED
Two-acre Minimum Charge Reduced to Dollar; Addi- tional Acre Feet to Cost Fifty Cents; Verde Ditch Investigation

Approval was granted by the water form of water service contract sub mitted by the engineers of the Re clamation service, by which the charges per acre foot are reduced slightly for small users. but main tained at the same figure for those who are in the habit of irrigating to the full limit.
 For the first two acre feet, the price of service will be $100, re- duced ten cents from the present charge. All other additional acre feet will cost half dollar each. This not only reduces the charge to the fifty cents mark. but does away with an immense amount of clerical work It changes the odd nickel in the former charge of practically $0.55 an acre foot.
 The charge must he paid in ad- vance, hereafter, which is in line with the rotation service installed by the reclamation service yester- day After October 30, when these rules go into effect. statements will I have to be prepared and sent out | and there will be no troublesome 1 bookkeeping on slow accounts Because these changes in plan will not only save money in clerical eX- pense, but will make economy of

action in the matter and suggested he confer with Commissioner Lane of the Interstate Commerce commls : sion From Lane he said he got no expression of opinion.
 A letter was submitted by Folk written on May 21, 1907. by P. Henry Whitney to Mellen, suggesting that he say something at an early date touching on the Boston X Maine matter" and that the public at large is still to be reckoned with, con cluding with this paragraph:
 T thought it possible the little father at Washington might like to get his finger into the pie. in which case if it should happen before the public had been reconciled to the change might result in infinite harm to all our interests
 Folk then offered in evidence the reply to that letter, in which Mellen wrote:

chairs were furnished by the H. H. McNeil company and theater- going Phoenix owes that firm vote of thanks
 That delightfully."- cool atmosphere which popped FTP from under the seats was supplied through the eff forts of the Machinery and Electric company, perionified in E. A. Tri- cano, who installed the cooling ap- paratus.
 The steel work was supplied by the Arizona Hardware Supply com pany; the brick work by C. H. Val entine; the lumber and roofing by the Halstead Lumber company.
 The lamp room was built and equipped by A. B. Knox of the Cali fornia Film exchange and it is the most up-to-date and fireproof in the city. The piano was from Rede wills; the draperies and hangings from the Barrows- -Fooshee company. The cement floors and concrete work were done by Al Venn.
 The theater is a credit to the men who built it and proves that one need not go outside of Phoenix to get results that cannot be excelled anywhere.
 The program says that the stock holders are J. R. Halstead, Morris Haas. Arthur c. Luhrs Eugene Gold man, George Tisdale. s. B. Shum- way, M. R. Bowen and Hon. Thomas Maddock. They have certainly suc- ceeded in giving Phoenix a beautiful place of amusement

dents and events dealt with in the wit ness testimony. He barely touched upon some big things, paving the way for exhaustive questioning tomorrow. last week, Mellen gave his testimony with apparent willingness, answering readily and concisely every question except one. He did try to avoid telling about the time when Morgan humiIiat- ed him by brusquely refusing to give him information concerning a West Chester transaction to which he thought as president of the New Haven he was entitled When he finally re lated the incident his face was drawn into hard lines and he clasped his hands over the table in front of him almost conVulsively. His voice. how ever, indicted no signs of emotion
 Later he gave the story touch of humor. When Directors Hemingway and Skinner of New Haven demanded of him why the road was expending H1,000,000 cn the West Chester pur- chase, he offered to appoint each of them a committee of one to find out and said he had "barked his shins' in futile endeavor to obtain the infOr nation from Morgan and they could try if they desired.
 They ducked" concluded Meller grimly. Particular interest was aroused by Mellen's account of his con- ference with the then President Roose- welt with respect to the acquisition oi the Boston and Maine. He explained that he was a great admrer of ROose. Welt who said to him, according to the testimony, that he was not a lawyer and not prepared to advise what he should do about the proposed purchase

View of the Initial Plunge, from the Wings, By the Partner and Mentor of the Mayor

Columbia theater opened in a blaze of glory last night. Packed to its utmost limit by an audience that bubbled over with enthusiasm and friendliness, the most beautiful the ater in Arizona offered bill of eX- ceptional excellence and scored hit that will be talked of for weeks to come.
 Mayor George U. Young thought it an event of sufficient importance for him 10 be present in his official capacity and set off the ceremonies with short and interesting talk.
 The Performance
 The opening bill was splendid. It offered four acts that were most attractive The two dancing num- Der. were particularly good. Miss Ida Lewis is very attractive young woman and sch pleased the crowd nightly with her light and airy steps, and her last number, "The American Hornpipe,' brought down the house
 The De Poppillows are the best team of ball room dancers that Phoenix has ever seen and the Paw Iowa gavotte was beautiful. The young lady is most graceful and the team work of the two is splendid. Their hesitation waltz was charming
 The most popular number, if one may judge by the wild applause, was Biele and Girard, musical team. They served to prove that there is nothing more popular than a good parody and they had a string of them on The Trail of the Lonse- some Pine" ,, -~1iuoE2l
 The feature number was a little comedy called Jealousy" which served to introduce Miss Jane O'Roark in very stunning gown, a Valesca Suratt back and flaming wig that was almost fiery enough to call out the fire department.
 This excellent program was backed up by some very well played orches- tral numbers by the Columbia ladies orchestra, under Prof. Wade, which were very much appreciated. and the Animated Weekly and one of the best comedy films yet seen in Phoenix
 F anybody felt that they had not received at least three times theii moneys worth last night, they mus be more than hard to please.
 The House and the Men Who Built +
 The house is entirely a home prod uct, designed by Lescher and Kib- bey It is a delight to the eye inside and out. The decorations arc simple and beautiful and in the bes of taste They were done under th' personal supervision of MT. Kirchife of the Kirchifer company, and thu lighting was installed by Al Rosen berg of the New State Electric com rany. is one of the most attractiv features of the theater
 We are willing to wager that no enc of the huge gathering failed t' appreciate and comment on thos bully seats. Just think of being abl to sit back comfortably in a Phoeni, theater, stretch ones legs-pardon limbs-and really enjoy a perform ance in a comfortable chair. l seems too good to be true, of course but nevertheless that is what vol may do at the Columbia.
