Opening of Campaign to En- force Abatement Law In Communities Having a Red Light" District. Interesting Facts

That there is secret association of uplft workers in Arizona is the amazing information secured through the Monday raid on Winkelman's mo- torious redlight district, which re- suited in the proclamation of what is practically statewide war on prostitution. Through hastily en- gagged attorneys, Richey and Dick of Phoenix, an underground working or ganization of reformers has clapped the lid on Winkelman, already driv- en out three score of immoral women and now stands prepared to maintain their advantage in the Gla county superior court when the day of ac- tion comes Friday
 The case, which included five de- fendants, was worked up by "F. Je- rome,' who is one of the big Burns operatives from Los Angeles. Follow ing the successful completion of the case, Jerome" became known by his true name, H. J. Rechard
 Officer A. Egly of Phoenix assisted "Jerome'
 On Monday, in response to hur- ried summons, Benton Dick left for Globe He was prepared to file the complaints, for the mysterious re- form association, which had employ ed the detective and had completed the gathering of its evidence. It was at first thought that Egly could take the place of the complaining witness, but under the stae law in hese cases made and provided, it must be a res ident of the county who swears to the complaint. So Dick was summoned to find a prosecuting witness He secured Joseph Fall, one of Globes grand old men, and mighty reform CT. Through his sympathy for the movement, Fall was glad to aid the organization Consequently, il was 1 his name which was signed to the complaints On Monday, therefor, Sheriff Haynes of Gila county invaG- ed Winkelman with the service papers
 According to the rigid Arizona law, which went into effect last October,
 the filing of such a complaint by any reputable citizen, acts a good deal like a verdict. The defendants are
 automatically restrained from plying
 their trade, until after they have mace answer and shown cause why
 the temporary injunction should not
 be made permanent. In other words, the filing of this sort of complaint.
 and the service of the papers, puts the defendant in the position of a
 French defendant, who by the laws
 of that country is assumed to he guilty until proven innocent
 Speaking of the case yesterday, At torney Dick said he was compelled to keep secret the name of the man who had employed him. He confess

EVAN WILLIAMS IN NEW
YORK AND GOLDSBORO

Evan Williams is to sing here Octo-
Der 9, as vol already know, and you
will De interested in the following
comment on his voice by the New
York Times:
There are few who enter into their
music with the enthusiasm and the
commanding ardor that the Welsh
Tenor does, few who so impart the
significance of what they sing so in
telligently or make it all, great and
small alike, seem so intently alive.
His performance yesterday was in
~teresting and moving, and was a beau
tiful exhibition Of some Of the finest
qualities of his art. He sang every
thing in English with breadth and
finish of phrase and with clearness
of enunciation that made every word
in~telligible."

|GREAT WORDLESs
PLAY COMING HERE
Solomon and the Queen Of Shebas
is Feature of Ringing Bros.
Big Circus.
HUNDREDS OF ACTORS IN CAST.

Around the glory of Solomon and
the beauty of Balkis Ringing Broth
ers have this season built the most
magnificent spectacle ever ~traveled
under their management. Solomon
and the Queen of Sheba is the name
given this tremendous production. 1t

dancing girls, hundreds of horses and
camels, 80 musicians, a chorus of l.
600 voices and a great cathedral or
gan are used to tell the story of a
period ten centuries before the Chris
tan era. The presentation is histori-
cally correct The costumes, armor,
vehicles and gorgeous trappings have
been reproduced after Biblical de-
scriptions. The best scenic artists
and craftsmen in Italy have recon
structed the palaces, the temple, the
great Judgment hall, the streets and
the gates of Jerusalem. The action
reveals q succession of scenes of such
Domp and splendor as to fairly daz-
zle the beholder. The stage upon
which this great ~wordless play is en-
acted is the largest ever constructed
and takes UP one entire side of the
the circus main tent. 1t is fitted with
apparatus which makes possible the
finest Of electrical effects. Fifty men
are required to handle the scenery
and mechanical attachments.
Solomon and the Queen of Sheba is
produced under the personal direction
of Al. Ringing, assisted by a corps
of stage managers headed by Ottokar
Bartik, ballet master from the Metro
politan Grand Opera House. The
spectacle is made a part of the circus
program and e the afternoon and
evening performance. Its pageants
are marvels Of b%rilliancy and the pro-
cessions presented when Solomon and
Sheba's queen vie with one another
in their contest for supremacy in
riches, are said to be the most re-
markabIe displays of their kind ever
seen in America.

one hundred and fifty thousand

The wind was blowing this way
and for a time grave fears were
entertained that it might be car

Both Shay's and Sargents res
idences were in danger for some
time but by hard work and back
firing the fire was prevented from
reaching either of them.
