Jerome's Sammy and Kelly

The cleverness of Ben Jerome was again brought before the public when the Ellis Musical Comedy company, featuring Earl Hall and Frank Vack. produced the playlet Sammy and Kel- ly are Rivals, yesterday evening at the Coliseum theater. Men who have be- come more famous than Hall and Vack could not have done more, or displayed more ability in portraying the charac-
 ters of Sammy and Kelly. The parts, as penned by the master playwright. fit these two comedians like gloves. An added feature gave the patrons an in sight into what a chorus girl can do when left alone on the stage. A con test of dancing damsels was staged to the delight of all. The honors for first and second prizes were awarded to Anita Wellers and Betty Phillips. All

JAPANESE TEA GARDEN IS FEATURE OF FAIR

bit of Japan, sawed out of the isle of cherry blossoms, and attractively set down in the grounds of the Panama Pacific exposition, is the way Fred Kenyon, the tire man describes what he saw in the Japanese Tea Garden at Frisco last week. Next in beauty to the Japanese display, comes the Cana dian building. Possibly Kenyon prefers the NipponeSe part because he spent five years in those far off islands.
 Kenyon brought back with him the state agency for the Fisk tires-a flock of business that he will attend to per sonally. He will work the already es- abolished state business in Red Top and Non Skids, and will distribute in Phoe- nix through his company.

 NE WYORK, March 26-Increased profit taking and more foreign selling of our stocks combined to hold today's market in check but the movement, save in a few isolated instances, was firm with frequent periods of actual strength. Southern Pacific and a few other important shippers, sold at the highest prices of the year. Some lead CTS were under moderate pressure, par ticularly United States Steel. The maximum gains were from one to three points, cotton carrying roads scoring the most substantial advances. Prices wavered towards the close with especi- al weakness in Bethlehem Steel. De- mand was noted for remittances to Scandinavian countries, Denmark par ticularly. Exchange on London held well above the low rates of the early part of the week Surface movements of money point to a very heavy gain in cash by local banks tomorrow, an increase estimated as high as seventeen millions.

The California building at Nhe San Francisco Worlds Fair is a splendid representation of that state, according to J. H. Pellen, chief of the draught- ing department in the Washington of flee of the United States reclamation service, who arrived here yesterday en route home
 The exposition is an unqualified sue cess, from all viewpoints. No more classy arrangement could be accom- plished than that on which the build ings are laid out.
 This is Mir Pellen's first visit to the southwest. Naturally, he is much pleased at the sight of so much agri- cultural activity. If he can possibly arrange it, he will leave by way of the dam, in order to see the effect of | plentiful supply of water behind the big tappoon.

Lucien Henry, a French diplomat

Mr.. Henry asserts that the United
States has only one thing to do, and
that is TO mind her own internal af-
fairs"
America, 1t seems to us, has been
closely minding her own affairs, and
