KODAK IN HAnos

One man who refuses to have his
photograph taken is Walter Belk.
This posing in the Hmelight and gaz-
ing afterward upon the classic repro
duction of himself is not for Walter.
Hence when northern Colorado
delegate attempted this morning to
snap a picture Of Belk and James
Wilson, who were summing them
selves at the bank corner, Belk
walked across the'street, grabbed the
kodak and wrestling It from the hand
of the owner, smashed it inte junk.
The kodak fiend was 80 taken
aback that he smiled sickly grin
and went on and slapped his wrist
and muttered, Course it, Belk
quietly walked away. Later the ko-
dakcr went to the office of Fred
Clark and afterwards called on the

This is not the first time that Belk
has smashed cameras. A year ago a
photographer attempted to snap him

1t Is true, of course, that the

Col. Tom Rynning, Builder of the

Col. Tom Rynning, the man who built the state penitert;ary at Flor ence is again a resident of Phoenix. After over a years absence, when he roamed about the stfeets of Los An geles and San Diego, he has turned his footsteps again to Arizona, where he will make his future home
 Rynning is one of the "old timers" of the state. During the republican regime preceding statehood, Rynning vas superintendent of the state pris- 0u. then located at Yuma. Inside the old dobe walls he originated the plans for the new state prison, and when it was definitely decided to build Rynning was chosen to put the work over. ,.
 Taking from the prison walls at Yuma a big force of men, Rynning began cutting the granite and plac-, ing it in the walls at Florence. The work was finished under his direc- tion, and the prisoners were trans ferred from the old pen on the Colo Iado river to the new one on the desert. Later when statehood had been granted and a democratic gov efnment set up. Rynning resigned.

 Brothers of Phoenix

Warren McArthur. of McArthur Brothers, has delivered a Packard 3S" seven passenger touring car to Julio Madero, brother of the ill-fated former president of Mexico. Madero turned around and presented the manificent car to General Pablo Ob- regon of the constitutionalist forces, as little remembrance of their campaigning days. It IS undisputed- Iy true that this is the classiest gift that any Mexican general ever re- ceived off hand-just like that.
 McArthur took the car to Nogales, where he delivered it into the hands of Madero's agents.
 Sonorist forces are using American made automobiles almost exclusively. The motor car warfare that they are waging is consuming quite a deal of the product of American factories. Commanders, and even troops, are often transported by chug chariot, to and from the fields.

INVESTIGATION
 |S DEFERRED.
Board of Control With holds Action on Condition of Industrial School Pend ing Arrival on Friday of Superintendent Whipple

The question of a public investiga- ton into the condition of both the State Industrial school and the Pi- oneer Home is still a mater of con- lecture. The matter was taken up by the board of control, but no de- cision was reached. Action on the letter of the state auditor, who wrote to the board drawing attention to the condition of the Industrial School, and asking investigation was de- ferred until today, when Superinten- dent Whipple of the Industrial school meet with the board and add his quota of information to that already in the hands of the board.
 It is rumored that the condition of the school points strongly to a severe case of bad morals, and that it is this condition which demands the in vestigation. As yet, however, these rumors are based largely upon hear say, but it is hinted also that the condition has been known to the ma jority of the board of control for some time, and that some steps have been taken to remedy the con- dition
 Whether or not there will be a public hearing cannot be told. Both Governor Hunt and Secretary Os- burn, of the board. are not saying anything, and Auditor Callaghan the third member, is likewise keeping pretty silent on the matter, prefer ring to await the action of the ma jority. It is. however. hinted that he has some startling evidence in support of the rumor of immortality at the school.
 The question at the Pioneer Home is said. The present superintendent i;' disliked by the inmates, with whom he fails to get along, accord ing to the report. and the request for a change in management is made largely in behalf of the comfort and happiness of the forty or more pi- oneers in the home.
 Secretary Charles R. Osburn left yesterday morning for Prescott, and when he returns he may or may not have some light to throw on the subject While away, he will open bids for supplies for the institution for the next six months.
 Superintendent Whipple is ex- rected to arrive this morning to meet with the board of control. In the meantime, MT. Whipple wrote to both Governor Hunt and Auditor Callaghan, enclosing certain docu- ments that are said to have a direct bearing upon the condition of af- fairs.

PORT FOR WEARY MARINERS
New York Woman for Twenty Years
 Has Been Big Sister" to Sailors

Any old port in a storm-but not in New York. Ask the bounding pillow boys about the best port and they will direct you to the American Seaman's Friend society in New York, which has a snug anchorage down where the salt breezes do not lose all their tang by contact with the land.
 Miss Josephine Upham is the ''mis- sioner" of the institute, and for twenty years has been the big sister of the sailors.
 Miss Upham is smiling and cheery and comfortable She has a way of inviting confidence that makes the boy who ran away from a good home in Dublin to seek fame and fortune on the high seas tell her about how much his mother must miss him and how he would give a months pay for a glimpse of Kathleen Mavourneen, the prettiest girl in the home parish.
