Brawley Citizens May
Organize Vigilantes to
Protect Their City

vulgar talk which always goes on in
saloons
"The News at that time commented
on this proposition and assured the
wet friend that the citizens of Braw-
lev were determined to have it so the t
women and children could pass on
both sides of the street without fear
of being insulted or of being shocked
and Mortified by vulgar and ribald
talk.
"Now the wet advocates have
changed their proposition. They say
that saloons shall be confined to the
east side of the town, across the rail-
road track.
"In other words, they propose to
establish a real and extensive hell
east of the track, refuge for all
the undesirables who enter Imperial

Brawley is aroused. Hundreds of
prospective voters have been colonized
there to vote in booze in opposition
to the will Of the people of the town,
and it is an open question whether
hoboes, under direction of Los An
geles brewers, or the citizens of the
town. shall control the destiny Of that
place.
Something of the spirit of the town
is thus set forth by the Brawley
News:
"When the wet or dry campaign
started, several advocates of saloons
declared they favored having the bar
rooms on one side of Main street,
only, so that, as one expressed it, the
women and children can pass up one
side of Main street without being
compelled to hear the "cussing" and

and fasten themselves like leeches up
on the town.
"To offset these dangers, if the town
goes wet vigilantes should he or

need. More than 100 men have eX-
pressed their eagerness to serve in
such body.

the city makes this earnest proposal:

further, that it be organized prior
to the election; that we get locomo-

the undesirables now in the city, load
them and escort them to the Junction

with this aggregation established
on the east side, with the railroad as
deadline, no part of the city would
be safe. A dozen policemen could not
prevent crime. Murder would follow,
sure as fate. Burglars and petty
thieves would flourish. AT least one
or two of the saloons, perhaps all of
them, would be headquarters for the
worst men in the Southwest. Los An
geles and other cities would Danish
their undesirables to Brawley. They
would be glad to come, knowing they
would receive protection.
"Brawley is the best town in I'M

near and far.
"If saloons are established, only the
worst class of men will continue to
repeat it and the other kind will be
silent when Brawley is mentioned.

probably will vote dry at the first
opportunity. 1t may vote out the sa-

Ralph De Palma, filled with content ment and a good meal, leaned back from his coffee in Indianapolis the Oth- CT day with look of mingled astonish- ment and disgust.
 What he exclaimed, quit racing?" You must be talking through your roof"
 The noted Italian driver, hero of more than two hundred contests on track and road, had just been asked why he did not forsake the steering wheel for private business.
 Why" continued he, "I simply have to race. I like the game and don't want to give it up. It is not for the money alone, either that I stick simply love my profession as the ac- tors say. You know right well you would not listen to anyone asking you to give up your life work. Well, it is just so with me. Driving is my busi- ness and my hobby. You see I drive my hobby.

 Several musical numbers were ren- dered by a lady's chorus from the normal, under the supervision of Prof. J. l.. Johnston.

CALLAGHAN RETURNS FROM FORT GRANT
State Auditor and Member of Board of Control Who Investigated
 State Reform School, Back

State Auditor J. c. Callaghan, who for the past week has been at Fort Grant conducting a public investiga- tion into the management of the af- fairs of the State industrial school returned yesterday from his quest He was accompanied by Assistant Attorney General Leslie T. Hardy, who acted as legal advisor to the auditor during the investigation.
 Referring to the Investigation, the auditor said that at present it is ment of what he found there as he must render a report to the board Of control which instructed him to conduct the investigation. However, it was learned from other sources that the charges that were made against the institution and which caused the investigation to be made succeed in bringing out some re- markabe evidence of the conduct of tine inmates of the place and the methods that are used in conducting the institution.
 It transpired that during the in generation of some of the boys in the guard house for infractions of the rules, the key to the place was left with a trusty, himself an inmate of the school and in no way qualified to be the custodian of the guard house, and that during the time the boys were in the school jail others were admitted there to converse and visit with them.
 i Many other things worse than this | it is said were brought to light dur ing the investigation. The testimony was reduced to notes which will bs
 transcribed as soon as possible.

distance circuits of which much 20 miles in underground cables By 1906 under ground talking distance had increased 90 miles. By 1912 it possible to talk under ground from New York to Washington
 It then that the construction of under ground conduits from Boston to Washington determined upon,-not that it pected to get a through underground talk be- tween those places, but in of storm blizzard, to utilize intermediate sections in connection with the overhead.
 Our persistent study and incessant experi- mentation have produced results more remark able still
 We have perfected cables, apparatus and methods that have overcome obstacles hereto fore regarded as insuperable both to long dis tance overhead and underground conversation. Underground conversation is possible between Boston and Washington, four times the length of the longest European under ground line. This enabled the Bell System in the recent great storm, destructive on land and sea, to maintain communication for the public between all the principal points the Atlantic seaboard
 Telephone communication is established be- tween New York and Denver, is potentially possible between all points in the United States and by 1915 will be an accomplished fact between New York and San Francisco
 In our use of methods apparatus, we are committed to system. We own,
 
 sary to operate any system recognized cepted as the most efficient. The Bell System must always recognize, and in it's selection must always be governed by the necessities of a national service, with it's complex require ments which is infinitely exactng than local limited service.
 These achievements represent vast expendi- lures of money and immense concentration of effort which have been justified by results of immeasurabe benefit to the public. No local company unaided could bear the financial or scientific burden of this work Such results are possible only through a centralized general staff avoiding wastefu duplication of effort. working out problems to all, for the benefit of all.
 The pioneers of the Bell System recognized that telephone service they it. was in the broadest a public utility that upon them rested public obligation to give the best possible service at the most reasonable rates consistent with risk investment and the continued improvement and maintenance of it's property
 Without this expenditure of millions and concentration of effort, the telephone it exists could not have been developed.
 What have done in working out these great problems in the past should be accepted as a guarantee of what will do in the fu- ture.

Era Diavolo," Vehicle of First Per-

Fra Diavolo," one of the pret- tiset and dramatic of the old operas, will open tonight at the Empress. The Boston Ideal Opera Company which will be seen here for the first time tonight, has been diligently re- hears;ng for the past week, and the task of perfecting themselves in their various parts has really been an easy one, owing to the fact that the entire aggregation has appeared in these operas for several years, and consequently they are entirely at home in them, all of which makes it possi- hle for the local theatre-goers to see vantage
 Director Charles D. HaZelrigg re- ports everything ship-shape for the opening this evening" The wardrobe is here, and it can be safely said that never before has a more beau tiful display of gowns been seen in Phoenix.
 All Phoenix is waiting for the opening. as the first performance will easily display the ability of the new company to the skeptic, if there be any In order to appreciate an operatic performance of any nature it is quite necessary to see it from the beginning, therefore the manage nlent announces that the first show will start with a reel of pictures at 7:S0. The show will start at 7:45. This allows time for the seating of the patrons, and allows the house to become settled before the opening of the opera. The second show will start with a reel of film at 3 o'clock, and the opera at 9:15. There are no seats in reserve excepting for the press, and it will be a case of first come, first served.
