 Flynn has headquarters at Flagstaff, where his major prac- tice is located. He is excellently well known by the legal fraterni- ty. not only in his own but in many surrounding cities. even of other states,
 He has been in the state for about fifteen years.
 The appointment of Flynn has been watched for among political folks for some time. It was practically admitted he would be MT. Wilson's choice long before the term of Joseph Morrison, the present incumbent was nearing it's end.
 It is notable that the present and the coming United States at torneys are from opposite side of the state, MT. Morrison coming from the extreme southeast. = Phoenix Republican.

Bucket Brigade When
Weather Man Fails

The weatherman doesn't seem to be
working much in harmony with the
Orpheum's call for a million gallons
of water. Manager Hopkins was
really expecting that some tinse before
Monday morning there would be
enough precipitation to fill the NAM
moth tank that Is carried for the six
diving nymphs, and as nymphs enjoy
and in fact must have the pure clear
water, he made a special effort to
crafty their desires. He had q great
trough built all along the side of the
Orpheum Theater building, and If we
would have had an inch of rainfall
this week, all would have been lovely.
The vaudeville man figured that the
roof of the Orpheum Theater, which
measures about a hundred feet square,
would have yielded the required
amount, had we had an inch of rain
fall. But up to the present that
scheme failed and now the bucket
brigade looks inevitable.
So if you should happen to be in
the vicinity of Locust street on Mon
day morning, you're apt to see the
bucket brigade at work. And since
1000 gallons of water are required
to fill the tank, that parade is apt to
be pretty continuous all morning. The
route of the parade will be from the
Orpheum down Locust street to the
River Front, fill the bucket, counter
march and then back to the theater.
Earrs Six Diving Nymphs have the
biggest swimming tank carried by any
aquatic act in vaudeville, and they
must have pure, clear water or they
won't dive, that's all.-Advertisement

AGED TUNER SAVES
PIANOS DESPITE THE
DARKNESS OF YEARS
Edward Decker, Composer and In
strumental Genius to Rescue
in Music House

Through the darkness of more than
three score years Edward Decker, a
tuner for Troup Brothers, South Third
street piano dealers, heard the steady
drip, drip of a leaking pipe in the
wareroom during the wee sma' hours
this morning.
What might happen to the splendid
instruments If they were not moved
out of the way of the water WAS the
first thought that flashed across Deck
er's mind. He was quick to act. The
darkness of the night didn't bother
him; he's long been accustomed to q
more impenetrable curtain than night.
. First he gave the alarm and then
got busy moving the great pianos out
of danger. BY the time assistance
arrived the piano tuner had many of
the instruments out of the trouble
zone. So now that Mr.. Decker is
already in the limelight, here's some
thing about him.
For more than a year of his sixty
four years Mr.. Decker has tuned
pianos and organs for the Troup
Brothers. Small of stature. silvery
haired, low voiced, dramatically per-
feet in his use of English, Mr. Decker
is one of the most popular attaches of
the music house.
lie Is Genius
Born in Cumberland county If mu-
sical parents, he has followed the
practice of tuning pianos for more
than forty-four years. That he is a
genius is more than evidenced by his
ability to take apart, piece by piece
the hundreds of sections of an organ
or piano and put them together again.
Educated in the famous Philadelphia
institute conducted for those of his
aff1iction, Mr.. Decker perfected his
knowledge of music and the why's and
wherefores of the instruments which
provide him his livelihood.
The aged piano tuner is q composer
of some note, too, and his 'Waltzes of
the Susquehanna' is of the dreamy
kind that the old-time dances only
suggest and the modern hesitation"
emphasizes.
But that isn't all Mr.. Decker has
written. His more widely known COM
position is "Beautys Eyes,
And Edward Decker has been to-
tally blind since his birth.

BROWN vs. YALE
Blue Should Have No Trouble With
 the. Providence Team

fale's football warriors came out or Saturdays struggle without a scratch after lathering Colgate to the queens taste for the defeat admin istered the Ellis a year ago. No strenuous practice has been attempted today. but Coach Hinkey has issued orders for a 20 minutes Scr1mmage. Brown plays here next saturday and will send the weakest team that has represented the Providence institution in years. Yale, of course, does not expect much tro1I- ble in winning and indications ara that Captain Talbott and Alex Wilson Will not be pressed into service They will be physically it for duty by that tune, but rather tha nrun any risk of injuries the coaches plan on keeping them out of the game until the Princeton and Harvard series.
 With only the games remaining against Harvard, Princeton and l3rown,- her leading university rivals, Yaie,s football schedule was left by saturday afternoons game with Col gate. The situation qlaS shifted little since the opening game of the season. A veteran, almost irresistible back held, and a green, cratic, unsettled rush line give the coaches a, perplex- ing problem as the final matches of the season are approached.
 It has been the keenest disapnoint- ment of the season that the rush line has halted and been checked in it's development, compelling the coaches to try out large field of even more inexperienced material than was shown by the unfortunate Washing ton and Jefferson game to be unsat- isfactory
 Nearly all the Yale setbacks of the season were focused upon the rush line. The loss of the best guard of the squad, Pie Way; the injuries that benched End Bushes Roberts. Hig- ginbotham, Brann and Carter. all of varsity experience, and the illness of Captain Talbott have proved ham dicaps that have upset the prospeces of the line material Former Yale teams have learned by bitter experi- ence, and the university believes that the rush line will take to heart tf.~ stern lessons of the Washington and Jefferson defeat and will not crumple again this season. Nothing positive however, can be predicted of a rush line which, weth the exception of the captain, was entirely new this sea- son, and which. as now composed, is entirely different in makeup from its compoSitio nthree weeks ago.
