there were more than twenty-five hundred people to listen to it. By night 4,0OO people had passed into the park
 They found amusement in many different ways, principally in and about the big pool and it must have seemed strange to the many old time residents of the city who were down there to find the city sporting itself as watering place.
 The management of the park has found it necessary to double the capacity of the bath house and work on the extension will begin tomorrow morning. Five hundred bathing suits were ordered from Los Angeles ten days ago: they should have been here yesterday but will arrive on Wednesday. After this there will be no waiting in line and there will be ample accommodations for every one. Work on the excavation of a new pool will begin this week. This pool will be located east of the present pool and the two will be connected by a waterfall that will not only be picturesque but will supply world of fun for the bathers
 The picture show has proved so | popular that it has been necessary to increase the seating capacity again and by next Saturday night there will be seats in front of the big screen to accommodate 250O people comfortably. The popularity of the pictures is surprising to the l management, who had figured them to be merely incidental in the scheme of amusement There is no extra charge for them and there are four | complete changes of bill with four reels of feature film on each bill The bill changes on Sunday, Tues Cay, Thursday and Saturday nights Saturday night is especially devoted to comedy and a two reel comedy special will be shown.

PETERS QUITS
 PHOENIX POLICE
Popular Officer Leaves To- T day for San Francisco After Making Excellent
 Record Here in His Line
 of Duty

John H. Peters, for several months connected with the Phoenix police de- partment, and who before coming to this city was 4one of the valued members of the Kansas City police force and municipal detective bureau, has severed his connection with the local department and will leave this morning for San Francisco expect ing to become attached to the force of plain clothes men that will be employed from now on to guard the exposition grounds.
 During the time that Peters has been employed as a Phoenix police officer, his services have been of ex- ceptional value in running down some difficult cases. Probably the most notable of these is still very fresh in the minds of the general public for it was Peters, who, with the assistance of Policeman Roy Morrell, managed to clear up the mystery of who was stealing automobiles almost nightly, succeeded in placing several young men and boys under arrest and brought from practically all of them confessions that they were the guilty parties.
 Since the arrest of these boys neither the police nor the sheriff's office have had a report of an auto mobile stolen. The owners of auto mobiles, particularly of Studebakers and Overlands, have become imbued
 with a greater sense of security in leaving their cars standing at the theaters or other places of amuse- ment, for they realize that not only has one gang been broken up. but that the arrest of the boys and young men, is bound to have a salutatory effect upon others who might be
 tempted to commander cars other ! than their own for joy riding pur-
 poses.
 | The departure of Peters is regret
 ted by every member of the police force who have come to know him
 as a competent officer and mighty good fellow too. Their best wishes go with him to his new post.

 l. is estimated that the property of the Church in Wales, which will be taken over by the commissioners, is worth, including grants from the ec- clesiastical commissioners and Queen Ann's bounty, over s1,300,000 annually. Outside this the church has an income of some s100,000 which will not bt touched by fine disendowment clauses of the act and besides provision will be made for the clergy, so that they will suffer no financial loss The bish- ops and clergy will continue to re- ceive their present incomes so long as they hold their offices, and they will also be left in the enjoyment of their | palaces and parsonages. The present | incumbments will moreover retain pos l session of the blebes and can at any l time within five years exchange their existing interests in the emoluments Of | office for an annuity, and thereupon | retire.

 What the church loses are the burial

 charges, which go to the county and
 borough councils, and which produce
 the greater part of the amount men
 tioned above. The money will be de-
 voted for health and educational pur- poses.
 While strongly opposed to distestab-

 stubbornly the disendowment proposals
 which they claim will cripple the
 church in Wales. In Cardiff, for ex-

Experience of Mic Verga, the "Pocket Edition Ga ruso,' and "Dorothy, " His Charming Wife, Has Proven This Theory

Flight short years ago, Me Verga, who is joint star with his charming wife Dorothy at the Columbia. was unknown to the musical world Ac- suainJed with many singers in his Rsme city of Milan, Italy, and being constantly urged, he finally decided ts take up the study of music. At the outset Verga determined that no work would be too strenuous as long as it made him a thorough artist. Under the able tuition of the great Maestro Sulli he studied for three years. This means three years of practice that ranged from six to eight hours day, for Sulli only takes pupils whose success is prac- tically assured through their phy- sique, vocal endoWments and mental attainments And three years with Suuui means unceasing work.
 From this tuition Verga came di : rectly to New York city where he appeared under the direction of Fer rari, at the Academy of Music, in Grand Opera, singing the roles of Caruso. It was here the critics dubbed him the Pocket Edition Ca ruso.' A few seasons in opera and the lure of big salaries in vaudeville tempted him and he spent two sea sons on the Orpheum circuit with the Gus Edwards productions.
 He then joined his wife in the present offering, that is scoring such {, distinct hit. Tn Concordia.
