George Avery Com mlts Suicide in Central Hotel by Cutting Throat-Left $4O0 With the Clerk No Message

Fearing that he was about to be sent to the State Hospital for the h. sane, George Avery. aged 6S years. a pioneer of Arizona, yesterday morn
 ing defeated the plan to confine him in the institution by cutting his throat with a razor. So determined to die was the probably dementei man that he nearly severed his head from his body before he fell bleeding and dying across his bed.
 For several days Avery had been a guest at the Central hotel. He did not mingle much with the guests, but three or four days ago he confided to Charles P. Blake, a clerk at the Central, that the authorities were at tempting to railroad him to the asy- lum. He told Blake that he would beat them at their own game and incidentally gave Blake $400 to be kept for him. Blake thought the old man was worried over some business affairs, but did not think he contem- plated any serious step.
 About 7:15 yesterday morning the porter in the Central hotel heard an unusual noise coming from the room occupied by Avery. It seemed to him that a heavy body had fallen. Mount
 ing a chair he looked over the tran som and discovered the body of Avery lying upon the floor, the blood streaming from a frightful gash in his neck. Summoning the police, the door was broken down, but Avery had made a good job of it. He lived but minute or two after the offi- cers arrived.
 From papers found in Avery's be- longings it was ascertained that he was born in England 6S years ago and was naturalized in this country in 1884 He seems to have been di- 1 Vorced but there is nothing to show where his former wife may have lived. He left no message nor any means Of locating relatives. Coroner JohnStone decided it was a plain ease of suicide. The man had stood in | front of a mirror while drawing the l blade across his throat, had then staggered back to the bed. fallen upon it and then rolled to the floor

NEW FOLKS AT SAVOY
 MAKE INITIAL BOW
Additions Said to Be Among Leaders
 in Profession.

His Highness, the Janitor," will be the vehicle which will serve to in troduce the new members of the Ja- eobs company at the Savoy tonight and if all the nice things that nave been said of the latest acquisitions to the tabloid organization are true there should be some show at lhe big iron play house.
 The first, of course. who will come in for the big end of the attention will be the new comedian who comes to take the place of the one who leaves to join the opposition J. w. Clifford is his name and he is folt- fled with a splendid singing voice in addition to a map" that would make the average man wear mask. So funny is Clifford off the stage that he uses little makeup on the stage. Content to get his laughs with the valuable aid which nature rendered him in the shape of a funny face he is backed with a long ca reer in the best burlesque shows Of the cast and will be a valuable addl = tion to Fritz Fields staff of fun makers.
 Second only to Clifford will be the first local appearance of Miss Del Estes. who is billed as the prettiest daintiest and best dancing soubretto in tabloid circles, and the verdict will be rendered when she makes her bow tonight and adds to the offer ing with several numbers that have been, to use a slang expression of the show world, knocking them of the seats in Frisco here she has been in stock for the past year.

THOUSANDS ATTEND

and strong comment in it's favor has appeared as the voice of the paper. I am sure that the future of Phoenix if assured and that as a city it cannot go far wrong when the press stands for what 1t does here"
 In an automobile q Republican rep resentative made the rounds of the ser vices yesterday morning and took a personal look at each congregation in the city during the service. Never were such crowds seen in the churches here before. The more nearly down town churches were taken in first At Gen. tral Methodist church the Sunday school room was opened and added to the auditorium, additional chairs were placed therein and many people were standing It was estimated that nearly six hundred people attended this ser vice
 The First Methodist placed the esti mate in the morning at 900. The First Baptist at 60G; The First Presbyter- ian church was holding two services simultaneously In the main auditor ium to which one Sunday school was added Dr. Campbell held forth to near lv 500 people, while in another Sunday school room 250 more Were listening eagerly to Rev. MT. Logue. The First Christian church had more than 800 present: estimates on the congregation at Trinity Proc Cathedral placed the figure at 400. The Roman Catholic church held three services in the morn ing each of which was crowded. This attendance was placed close to 2OOO people.
 At the smaller churches the same story was told The Lutheran church general synod doubled it's congrega- ton. and from a mission will branch out into a regular church organization next Sunday The Zion Evangelical Lutheran meeting at the w. C. T. U. filled the hall more than 100 being present. The Free Methodist had over a hundred and fifty at service. Bethel church reported over two hundred the largest in it's history; the Pentacostal Mission had a building full; the Church Of God was crowded; The Salvation Army reported big meetings and the
 
 Peoples Mission was crowded; the Missionary church was filled; the Church of the Latter Day Saints had a much larger congregation than usual; and the First Church of Christ Scien- tist had increased numbers at service.
 Among the colored churches the same report was true. The African Methodist. the Colored Methodist, and the Second Baptist churches all had more people in attendance than has been the case for some time. The Mexi- can churches even felt the impetus of the work each of them having more people than for many Sundays. It is estimated that as a result of this hundreds of former church mem- bers will be brought back into the fel- lowship with the regular members, while still other hundreds who have not heretofore attended will now form the habit.
 The effect of the publicity campaign was felt at night also. The night con gregationS are often smaller than those of the morning but each of the churches reported full houses for the night services. In addition to all of the above the attendance at the two | Empress theater meetings will reach to close to 1000 more.
 It was a great day with the churches and all are thankful and glad for the opportunity of attending service.
