Love, Luck and Gasoline

Rather an unusual title, but never
theless it stands for one of the best
Vitagraph comedies shown on a loo
ture screen. There are many unusual
things in this picture however, the
name being the commonest of all. The
story of the plot is not only an ex-
ceedingly clever one, but one filled
chuck full of exciting situations and
thrilling episodes. The featured
characters in this exterior photoplay
are the three foremost Vitagraph
players. namely: John Bunny, Lillian
Walker and Wallie Van, Cutey and
Miss Tomboy as charming Lillian
Walker and Willie ", are known,
are lovers, and surely the course Of
their affection does not run straight
for on every hand Miss Tomboy is
pestered by suiters, many of whom
her father would have her marry
Cutey and Miss Tomboy plan an
elopement of which the. irate parent
becomes informed. Newport is the
place set for the wedding and Cutey
borrows friends motorboat to make
the grand rush. And then the ex-
element begins. Iydr0p,anes, aero
planes, automobiles, yachts, are all in
turn employed by her father in the
race to intercept the wedding and
all fail In the last stage of the
journey the father falls from the

DRUNKEN AUTO|STS
FINED FIFTY EACH
Not Only for Five Points Antics but
for Court Room Conduct

Because the evidence introduced in
police court yesterday afternoon in
dicated that c. R. Bicknell and j. F.
Watkins drove and rode, respectively
in an automobile, each at the time be-
ing in an intoxicated condition, Judge
Mcbride assessed a fine of $50 each
which was paid under protest, while
notice of an appeal was Immediately
given. The technical charge against
Bicknell and Watkins was that they
We're drunk and disorderly.
From the outset there was consider
able dissatisfaction upon the part Of
the defendants at being Inundated by
being brought into police court on such
a charge. They had not been made
aware of the fact that the arresting Of
ficer, not long a member of the police
force, was not the complaining wit
ness. They said outside the court
room something about new policemen
being officious and other words of
similar import
Surprise was manifested by each
when Captain Hi Macdonald took the
stand. He admitted he had been at
tached to the Phoenix police force for
more than hundred years which rec
ord entities him to laying claim to be-
ing seasoned officer. Then he told
of the recklessness of the two in op-
Grating an automebile, not alone upon
the evening the arrest was made, but
upon at least one previous occasion.
That nobody was hurt by being run
down, Captain Macdonald claimed, was
due more to good luck than careful
driving.
Bicknell and Watkins each mani
tested a hostile spirit to the court and
were warned that there was such a
thing as contempt of court. Finally
came the announcement of the court
and the announcement Of the two that
an appeal would be taken. Judge Nc
Bride smiled benignly.

LADIES' BAND
FOR PHOENIX
Mrs. C. S. Williams, Direc-
tress Of National Reputa-
ton, Undertakes Organi-
cation Of Ladies' Band
Will Be Best in West.
A ladies band for Phoenix.

A ladies band for Phoenix.
This is the great musical scheme that
Mrs Charles S. Williams, band leader
Of national reputation is now working
upon for Phoenix. In this work she is
receiving the hearty support of DR..
Francis H. Redewill, director of the
First Regiment Band Arizona National
Guard whose own success as a band
leader has been dcmcr;' rate here for
the past Year.
As nucleus for the organization
Mrs. Wilson has her own immediate
family. four of whom are natural mu-
sicians and three of whom with their
talented mother form one of the finest
ladies saxaphone quartetes in the en-
tire United States
The plan at present is to organize a
band of twenty-four pieces, and with
that practice for the coming months
until the opening of the worlds fair at
San Francisco next year and then take
the band there as one of the biggest
advertisements that Phoenix has ever
had anywhere.
There are however, other features
that attract for Phoenicians beside the
possibility of placing the band at the
worlds fair, and these are the concerts
that viii be given by the band in PhOe-
nix and the effect of seeing a hand
somely uniformed company of lady
musicians marching down the street at
the head of a parade. This can be
done. 1t has been done before. At one
place where Mrs. williams was en-
gagged she drilled and equipped a band
in six weeks so that it made a public
appearance such as has been mentioned
above and virtually took the town by
storm
A graduate of the Boston conserva
tory. thoroughly conversant with every
instrument both brass and reed, used
in a musical organization, Mrs. Will
liams is well qualified to bring about
the organization upon which she has
set her heart. Not only can she di-
rect such an organization, but she can
teach the musicallv inclined to master
every instrument in the band. To
bring this about she has opened a stu
do in the same building with the Heath
Photo parlors at the corner of Adams
and First avenue, where she can be
found Wednesday morning.
Immediately prior to coming here,
Mrs. Williams was the directress for a
number of months, of the Roswell, N.
NJ. Concert band, admittedly the fin
est musical organization in the state
of New Mexico while she directed the
same. She took the band over when it
was mediocre organization and made
it the pride of the city. An accom-
panying picture shows the Roswell
band It win be noticed that number
of ladies occupy prominent positions in
this band. These were pupils of Mrs.
Williams who are now accomplished
musicians.

Lane has finally approved the action
Of the board of governors and the rec
lamation service in setting aside the
twenty thousand acre feet in the res
ervoir for the use of perishable crops.

Coliseum

The lineup at the Coliseum for to-
night looks unusually promising. and
several pleasant surprises are expect
ed. The bill consists of two double
and a single. The single is no other
than Mac ONeill, the famous Scotch
comedian. Most everyone has at
some time or other heard of Mr..
O'Neill and many have had the plea
sure Of seeing him, so he needs little
introduction. The other two acts are
Burke and Burke and Russell and
Hays The former team makes a
specially of comedy singing and talk
ing, and gets over big wherever they
appear The latter act features har-
mony banjo spanking with singing
The act has proven one OF the
strongest on the Levey Circuit, and
it looks as though the Coliseum is
getting a real road show.

ROAD IS SURVEYED

Preliminary survey work on the

construction will begin in the near
future. This announcement was
made yesterday at the office of the
state engineer.
1t has been practically decided that
the work will be done by contract,
and as the law requires that ad-
vertisement for bids must be pub
lished thirty days previous to the
letting of the same, it will probably
be the latter part of August before
work on the road can be commenced.
The plans call for improvement of

ADJUSTMENTS
A Woman's Loyalty at Lion

That a woman will stick to a man
through thick and thin and even af-
ter he had deserted her for another,
is splendidly portrayed in the Than
hauser film play "a Woman's 10y
atty" at the Lion theater today.
What this woman did, has been done
in real life time and again, but this
woman loved the man devotedly. Our
Mutual Girl this week is very inter-
esting and contains a fine summer
fashion display Of Stern Bros great
store in New York. The comedy end
of the program is well handled by
the Majestic players in fThe Differ
ent Man" and is a film that will

CoIumbia's New Show Tonight

IT'S said Variety is the spice of
life, and so it may be said a varied
vaudeville bill is the kind that gives the
greatest degree of satisfaction, and the
new show opening tonight at the Co
lumbia is as different from all which
have gone before as similar things can
possibly differ.
"Hesse," the unique tramp juggler
and Billy Dodge in topical song hits
are the two singles on this weeks bill,
and with the well known musical com
edy team, the MacKimmom Sisters.
augmented by Frank Minor and COM
pany in General Cruz of Vera Cruz,
interspersed with the excellent Mutual

1t is not an infrequent thing in vau-
deville that a headline act IS offered
and 1t overshadows the remainder of
the bill, but this is far from the state
of affairs this week, when every act
NAV be said to be a top-liner.
Laughter will be the keynote of
the show which opens tonight, and
with song music and the funniest ser
les of pictures one could imagine, the
amusement menu is one that will drive
away dull care from every mind and
send the patrons nome better fer the

 Monday, Oct.

Wednesday morning the men got up early and as the tide was out thought they would see if they could get some meat while waiting for the tide to float the boat so they could go across, and between seven and eight o'clock they started in the woods, Johnson taking the right hand side of a small creek and Taller crossing over and going up the left hand side. After being ID the woods for a couple ot hours Taller returned to the beach and having a couple of ducks went aboard and started dinner thinking that Johnson would return shortly and they would have dinner and go on to Duncan Canal, but when dinner time came Johnson did not show up and after waiting until about two o'clock Taller became

Court House.
 To Be Remqdled ej

Deputy U. s. Marshal Wallace has out call for bids Tor the re- pairing and remodling of the Court House and when interviewed on the subject stated that he has re- ceived orders from Marshal Bishop at Juneau to get same with the View of putting the old court house ir good shape.
 If the contracts are let for the work the building will be raised about twelve inches and the old fire places torn ont and new win dows and doors placed in the en- tire building.
 The repairing and remodling of the court house IS something that should be done as the building as it now stands is a detriment to the officials and the town and Marshal Wallace deserves credit for the speedy way in which he is going at the work of improving the govern ment holdings under his super vision.
 The remodling of the old Court House will be a great improvement
 but much better one would be
 the building of an entirely new one, as the buildings are over forty years of age and have outlived their usefulness and with little ad- ditionaI expence above repairing the old building, the Marshal s office could build a new building housing the court room and jail that would be in compareson with
