TANGO ARTISTS ARE
 RETURNING TO TOWN
Harris and Harris Will Play Return Engagement With Manager
 Reeves

The best tango portrayals that were ever made in Phoenix were those of Harris and Harris the week before last. The lovers of the Terpsichorean art are to be regaled with a repeti- tion of the elegant and graceful steps of the wonderful dance team, begin ming tonight In addition to this, there will be held at the Empress theater every afternoon at 3 o'clock, for the especial service of the patrons of the theater and dance lovers, free instruc- tion in the tangoing art. This is done by especial arrangement with Man ager Reeves.
 During the week of the return en- gagement the dance team will be a part of the Kelly and Rowe pro- gram, showing the hesitation waltz the tango" and many of the latest steps. This is a great addition to the company There will be a further ad dition to the company tonight in the person of Gabe Barbiere, a sister of the wife of Mrs Jimmie P. Lee, who, with Lees company here some years ago, made great number of friends. Miss Barbiere is an expert dancer. She will be a member of the chorus with Kelly and Rowe and will give exhibitions of her ability every per formance.
 These two additions are but a few of those that are being made at the Empress theater bringing the com panv to a better standard than any company has held heretofore in this city. It promises some sterling shows for the Empress for the balance of the theatrical season.
 Returning to the tango: Harris and Harris do not promise to teach every one the tango steps unless the pupil is willing to work to learn. They do. however. promise that if the pupil will devote the time and enthusiasm necessary. to teach the most beautiful steps of the famous Argentine dance.

FISK TIRES AND HOW
 THEY WERE ADVERTISED
Mistake in Republican Advertisement Brings Swarm of Inquiries and
 MT. O'Neili Holiers for Help.

The Fisk tire may be a pretty good tire-probably is-but like every other one of a score of tires. will not stand up forever. Nor will it last, while it is being shoe for an automobile wheel over matter of thirty five thousands of miles of rough or ordinary road. This fact is the reason for a telephone call which The Republican received from Eugene Brady O'Neill of the Overland garage yesterday. Said Mr O'Neill in agonized tones
 For the love of hinei fix that ad of mine about Fisk tires. I have had ten dozen telephone calls this morning from people who devilled the life out of me about Fisk tires
 Why, whats the natter" asked the obliging Republican man.
 Matter enough, I'll have to leave town if they keep on coming They are all declaring they are going to make me prove that Fisk tires are good for 5000 miles. Fisk tires are guaranteed for thirty five hundred miles, but thousands. no. no! no"
 So the obiging Republican man said he would fix it up.

ADJUSTMENTS
The Reqale

Through Barriers of Fire" is the feature two reel picture that pleased the record breaking audiences yester- day at the Regale theater 210-212 East Washington street and which will please those who visit the house today. U prsents an interest ing story of heroism during the Civil war when the boys in blue and the boys in gray were in deadly conflict. There is action in every foot of the wonderful film and surprises at every turn The Rex drama. "A Wo- mans Folly" is of the high standard seen only at the Regale, The Bat tie of Who Run. a Keystone com edy, brings prolonged laughs and applause when it's run is completed. The entire bill will run all of today.
 For tomorrow and Wednesday probably the most remarkable film ever produced is to occup the prin- cipal portion of the program. It is the, reproduction in four reels of Sir Walter Scott's masterpiece. Ivan hoe" featuring King Baggot and Leah Bard.
 This much heralded four reel of fering will not disappoint observers in one respect It possesses the quality of atmosphere to a remark able degree It visualizes for the ob server very effectively the knights of olden days, ancient castles and bat dement's. Robin Hood and his merry band, and through the entire produc- ton there is scarcely a thing to be wished from scenic standpoint. This reflects great credit upon Her bert Brenon, the producer. and upon the very efficient band of English supers who assisted him King Bag got appears as Ivanhoe Evelyn Hope as Lady RoWena, and Leah Baird as Rebecca. The acting is adequate throughout. The story gets under way slowly as does the novel itself but the last two reels bring it to a satisfactory conclusion.

abandoning a very indirect route to

residents in other sections of Farm

ity in the western section. The cost
will be nearly thousand dollars, of
which 5000 has been appropriated by
the town, and each resident in the
vicinity has agreed to contribute a

road win be started early in the sum-

For the past 20 years an effort has
been made to get this road, and once,
about ten years ago, the petition was
passed Preparations for its construc-
ton had commenced, but the oppos-
ing forces found a flaw in the permit
granted. counsel was secured, with
the result that 1t was found void, and
the people were again without their
road. But it is the general opinion
that it's a sure go" this time.

Pacific Railway Co. must be granted,
right or wrong? Have any nations be-
sides England objected to the legisla-
ton 1t is proposed to repeal? These
are questions that must be answered

Senator Jones quoted from Presi-
dent Wilson's prediction speeches in
an attempt to show that the Chief Ex-
ecutive then favored the exemption.
Senator Jones argued that a repeal
would be a great economic blunder,'
that it would benefit the Canadian
Pacific Railroad, Canadian interests
and the rans-continental railroad
lines and no others and injure more
or less every other interest in this
country. He contended that the ex-
emption contravened no treaty obli-
cations either in letter or in spirit,
and, therefore, no question of nation
al honor was ivolved.
