 PICNIC TODAY
First Annual Picnic of Live Wire Uplift Organization. Pythans Hold Great Cele- bration = Five Hundred Knights Attend

Rotarians will gather for their first picnic tonight. Instead of the usual Friday luncheon, which is more or less of business affair with short business talks and discussions mixed up with frivolity, the club will have a mulligan picnic at Riverside park and take the ladies along with them.
 Arrangements have been made to serve the mulligan at the east end of the dance pavilion at 6:30 and in addition to the big feed there will be q special entertainment which, while it will not be a high brow affair is guaranteed to amuse the members and. provide entertainment for every. body. Some of the best talent in the city. has been secured, and there will be some grand surprises. Before the dinner the Rotarians will indulge in general swimfest. The big pool will be full of fresh water and as the Potarians number some of the best swimmers in the valley among their number, the stunts they go through. will have some punch to them.
 Pythian Day
 K. P. day, the confetti battle and masked ball formed combination that packed Riverside to it's very gates yesterday with one of the big -gest weekday crowds of the season The Pythians began arriving early in the afternoon and when supper time came there were over 800 knights with their families and sweethearts to sit down and enjoy it. One of the best programs of sports that has been held this summer marked the after noon. It was full of novelties and kept the big crowd interested and delighted.
 At the masked ball there was a splendid time although the number in costume was comparatively small, The prizes for the best costumes were won by Mrs. Wm. Van Wyck. Miss SBehny and Miss A.. Lazeres, in the order named. Hundreds of bounds of confetti streamers and ticklers helped to make it one of the most enjoyable nights the park has yet offered.

yAVAPA| TAX LEVY
 MAY BE TOO HIGH
State Wax Commission Engaged In Investigating Alleged Excess
 Over Ten Per Cent Limit

That the 1914 tax levy in Yavapai county is not materially in advance of the ten per cent excess allowed by law Zander of the state tax commission. who returned yesterday from Prescott, where he went to investigate a com- plaint to that effect.
 While he has as yet made no official report to the commission. Chairman Zander stated yesterday that the levy this year appears to be only slightly in excess of the increase allowed by law. A part of this increase, it is claimed is only apparent, being due to the manner in which a part of the budget was printed. The estimated expenses last year were approximately $41,000, but the total receipts amounted to over S20,000 more. On this account it is claimed that the receipts this year will be in excess of the estimated expenses, and that. if need be, the levy can be materially reduced.
 If after more careful investigation it is found that the levy this year is materially in excess of the figure all lowed by law, it is probable that the commission will take steps to have the levy reduced by the board of super visors, but if the excess is only small amount it is not likely that any action will be taken. The original complaint was filed by Senator Homer R. Wood of Yavapai county.

DEAD DEER FOUND.
Frightened Horse of Man Driving
 Along Old Post Road.


 A doe, weight probably about 200 pounds, was found dead on the old Boston post road at Putnam Heights Saturday afternoon. The animal had been shot through the heart and a wound in it's launches indicated that a dog had torn violently at the heeting animal before leaden death had been poured into it. James E. Chase, who lives in a corner ot Killingly border ing on this town, found the dead deer while the carcass WAS yet warm. The first intimation O. anything unusual being in the highway came when his horse showed signs of fear, probably on account of the scent of blood from the dead deer's wounds. He pulled the deer out of the highway and up beside a wall of property of one of the resi- dents in that section Arthur Le- brecque, who is employed on a farm in the neighborhood, was afterwards sent down to bring the deer away.
 The killing of the doe is in line witf many other such illegal performances that there is good reason to believe have occurred in Windhan1 county this fall, and in falls past, only this time the deer was shot in such a locality that the man who is responsible foi he killing could not derive the bene fits of his risky work for fear of de- tection

MADE STIRRING ADDRESS.
Miss Margaret Foley Speaks in Favor
 of Equal Franchise.

Miss Margaret Foley made a stirring address to the audience that filled Odd Fellows hall at the November meet ing of the Putnam Equal Franchise league Friday evening. Miss Foley has a national reputation as a suffrage speaker, having worked in many cam paigns in western states, as well as in Massachusetts, her native state, She is an able, forceful speaker, and her clear logic made a strong appeal to her listeners. She based her argument on the American ideal of democracy and fair play. She said: A true democracy is only realized when every individual has equal voice in the government The modern movement demands the direct influence of all, men and wom- en alike, upon the legislation which concerns all alike. I trust every man in Connecticut will give the women of Connecticut a square deal by assisting the work for equal suffrage"
 Blue Day for Eli sympathizers.
 There was much amusement here Saturday, for one not too partisan or too greatly interested in the outcome, in watching the effect of the returns from the Yale Harvard game on the many local people who kept in close touch with the contest by wire during the time it was being played. Yale sympathizers, and they were in the great majority, had anything but a pleasant afternoon, and their groans increased as Harvard piled up the score to record heights.
