TO BUILD GREAT SUBMARINE,
ONE LARGE AND THREE SMALL.
ER ONES.
Largest of Quartette to BE SeagOing
Craft With Displacement of 1000
Tons.

Washington, Jan. 12.-COntracts
were awarded by the navy department
today to the Electric Boat company
for one sea-going submarine to be
built at Quincy, Mass, for $1,35O,0OQ,
and for three coast defense subma-
rines to be built at Seattle, WASH, at
$45O,O0O each. The Lake Torpedo
Boat company was awarded contracts
for four coast defense submarines to
be built at Bridgeport, Conn.,, sfor
S427,O00 each. =
The big sca-going submarine Of
1000 tons will be twice as large. as
any submarine now in a foreign navy.
Certain features of American design
will make this craft unique. She will
have a radius of action of about 5000
miles, a surface speed Of 20 knots and
submerged speed of II knots. BY
using her storage batteries alone sshe
will be able to travel completely .un-
der water for more than a whole day.
On her deck will be carried rapid
fire guns, designed to be completely
inclOsed when the vessel dives be-
meath the surface. A valuable fea-
ture will be directablc torpedo tubes
making it unnecessary 70 manoeuvrc
the ship to aim at an enemy and add
ing enormously to the crafts offensive
power.
The coast defense submarines ar!
only one-third the size OF the big sea
going twpe. although they themselves
are quite seaworthy for short voyage !.
These boats will have stcaming
radius on the surface Of about 1,0Ee
miles and their lighter drafts IL re-,
garded as essential for operations in
comparatively shallow harbors.

alterations at the E,lk5 it might, per haps- just possibly you know, be well to get new curtain. We just LOVE that particular THING which hangs back of the proscenium now, but WE COULD SPARE IT, It has an atmos- phere all it's own. one which has never been known to blend with that or any play unfortunate enough to be produced behind it.
 Once upon time we suggested to d manager of the Elks that he can that eyesore; but he closed the theater and left it dark instead, so we are Iiot going to make any such suggestion to MT. Re elmond; but SHOULD THINK OF IT HIMSELF?
 It is more than possible that Will liam H. Crane will be seen here this winter He is coming to the coast before very long and dn effort will be made tC have him stop here on his way east from Los Angeles. It may be remembered that when he was here on his Golden Jubilee tour two seasons ago in The Senator Keeps House" it was necessary to give a special matinee performance to accommodate the people who were unable to see him the night before.
 We know he would like to come here again. VIC know that he would draw a Tacl1ed house and we THINK that if THAT CURTAIN were re
 moved and Mir. Crane KNEW 1t he

would INSIST on cominc. But if he should come and THAT CURTAIN were NOT rcmoved-well let us not dwell on anything so horrible.
 Plans are now being made for the Columbias season and m announce ment will shortly he made which will demonstrate that the most beautiful theatre in Phoenix will play very important part in the winters ac- tivities. It has been a very keen re gret to musement seekers that this popular house has been closed through the summer but when it opens after it's long rest, it will be welcomed very enthusiastically. If it had not been for the Columbia last winter there would have been mighty little dramatic entertainment in PhoeriX.

As announced in The Republican last Sunday, Guy Bates Post in "Omar the Tentmaker' will be the opening road attraction at the Elks theatre this season. A wire from Ed Redmond. who is now playing an engagement at San Jose, Cal, con firms the booking of this splendid attra ction and states that Monday. September 13, is the correct date.

 The old building will be completely oVerhauled and put in hahltable and presentable condition and 1t will be occupied hv MT Redmond and his stock company throughout the season
 The date of their opening has no5 been definitely set as yet; put James MetCalf who passed through here -tuesday en loutc Lo San Jose, says that he understands 1t will be either She last week of September or the first of october. and previous to that time number of road companies will be seen here. 1t is Mir.

 It is too great an effort for her 10 try again. The price is too high. It it not worth It."
 The retirement of Miss Marlowe, all tho not unexpected, will bring genuine regret to all lovers of good acting In ShakeSpearian roles she is without peer today and her whole stage career has been a series of artistic triumphs She is an actress who cannot well be replaced.
 It IS evident from MT Sotherns statement that Miss Marlowe's health
 has not been improving as rapidly as it had been hoped it would, for only q short time ago it was an nounced by his managers that MT. Sothern would spend this coming win ter playing at the Booth theatre in New York, and that while Miss Mar lowe would not appear with him dur ing that engagement. she and MT SOthern would start on a fal eWeu tour of the country early in the spring.

The Dress with Floating Panels Fea-
turing a Smart Combination Of
Plaid Taffeta and Blue Serge

taffetas and failles. There were some
smart effects with striped taffetas and
the plain dark blue grosgrain COM
bined with serge made rich dresses.
Scotch plaids were much in evidence,
but the tones were SO dark and rich
they could scarcely be said to contrast
with the blue.
Russian Boots Again in Evidence
Several of the women were booted
according to the Russian fashion. The
women who wore the floating panel
dress described above, had the long
boots in black patent leather. They
were made the same, as riding boots,
wide enough at the ankle for the foot
to slip through. There were other Rus
sian boots in fawn leather trimmed
with tan; one of the mannequins with
black patent leather.
Society Vies With the Mannequins
Indeed, society seemed to be booted
and gowned as smart, if not smarter,
than the mannequins themselves. The
whole atmosphere breathed of fashion.
There is something really fascinating
about these women, slipping tea and
watching women wear the gowns that
they themselves may wear later on.
