 AT THE COLISEUM
A Devil of a Fix

Jimmy Lee is in "A Devil of a Fix" at the Coliseum tonight and good ness only knows how he is going to get out of it. You see Jas F. is so all fired good natured and happy go lucky that when he starts out to do something somebody, he never stops to think of what the conse- quences may be. Take his present engagement at the Coliseum for in stance, when he came here from Cali fornia he remembered that the people of Phoenix had enjoyed him several years ago; but he never supposed for. a minute that they were going to only arranged to stay for q limited number of weeks. making plans to play elsewhere after August 30. But Phoenix fell for him harder than ever and now that there are only two weeks more for him to be seen here they are falling all over them selves to get in to see him while they have the chance. Of course that is not the devil of a fix that James P is in tonight, that happens to be the name of his new tabloid he is put ting on. It will be good, of course, everything he has offered to the pub lie since his return has been good, and all the other Lees and their many assistants and co-Workers will have fine opportunity to distinguish them selves
 Better be on hand at the Coli scum this evening. It is the last Monday night but one, of this en- gagement.

ID PROTECT APPROACH
 ID FLORENCE BRIDGE

Active construction work on 2 re ;aininG wall to protect the approach To the state highway bridge at Flor ence from the ravages of the Giia river floods will begin within I very short time Filing and other mater ial for use in the work was shipped yesterday from san Pedro. and will probably be unloaded at Florence this week.
 Filing will be driven for consid- erabie distance east and north of the bridge, and the spaces between filled in with brush and stone so that d compact barrier will be formed against the current. and it will be ceflected into the main channel. The approach to the bridge on the north side was washed out four times by floods during the last winter, and since the last flood a temborary crossing of the break has been used.

ACCIDENTAL LOCATION
 OF 4 LOT OF LOOT
William J. Bryan of Local Fame Had
 Surrounded Himself With 1t

William J. Bryan for some time dog catcher in Phoenix is in a worse posi- tion than that now. He is in the county ment of a horse and buggy though that might be easily adjusted. But his rest on that charge resulted in disclos- ure that will probably bring about his arrest in other charges from which he will escape with greater difficulty
 It was learned yesterday that Bryan had left Phoenix two or three days ago and Deputy Sheriff James Murphy To- catod him near Mesa. He went after him yesterday and was astonished at the plunder that he found in his room. The first thing that struck his eye was a handsome bearskin rug. In label seWed in one corner of the lining the name Of Mrs. $. Tribolet appeared The deputy sheriff happened to know that a bear skin rug had some time ago been stolen from the Tribolets.
 There was found in the possession of Bryan solid gold watch, of very old model The gold was so nearly pure that the engraving on it was badly worn. on the lid of the inner case the name of F. V. Sellers was engraved
 Bryan said that he had the rug and the watch for several months; he had given a stranger ten days grub for them Bryan also mad a check for $500 drawn on the Bank of Williams, pay able to Jesus Blanco. He could not ex- plain how he came to be in possession of that.

THERE IS NO LINGO SENTIMENT
Lack of Excitement Over Leelanaw
 Shows Lack of War Spirit

If any evidence is required to show how little war fever there is in this country, the sinking of the Leelanaw will supply it. Were We looking for trouble the incident could easily be magnihed But we are not looking for trouble, and practically the whole so- called anti-German press has been at the greatest pains to show that the wrong Is merely a technical one.
 In an age when it is customary to denounco the press, 1t is fine to notice the calm and intelligence with whfth the newspapers prevented the affair from adding fuel to the fire. Were American newspapers jingo, the Lee lanaw was their opportunity.
 Their restraint is significant also for greater reason. It emphasizes the sincerity of the American attitude. If Grmanv had not destroyed life wan tonly, we should willingly have argued with her and made no threats. The Leclanaw case is one Tn which there is genuine room for difference of opin- ion, and Americans, even in their pres ent temper, are glad to recognize the difference
 The event proves also that we are not protesting against the use of sub marines. nor trying to deprive Germany O. what she calls her most reflective" weapon; we are asking her to do in the case of all ships what she did in the case of the Anglo Californian and the Leclanaw. We are asking her to stop them and search them and save the lives of crew and passengers. We may dispute her right to destroy an American ship, but we should never raise that dispute into a cause for war From the New Republic.

Princess Ro- manoff is one of the most passionate characters in the whole of playdom, and the opportunity to see so compre- hensiVe a study of this great charac- teriZation is one that should not be missed by any Phoenix lover of high art.
 It is one of the best pictures of the season.

Nance O'Neil Wonderful at lamara

The world knows Nance O'Neil of the stage. It has followed her career in all parts of the globe. She was talked of in Calcutta before Broadway and Belasco heard her name She was a celebrity in England France and Germany before her triumph in The Lily in which a critical New York audience rose to it's feet nightly at the end of the third act in the Stuyvesant theater and cheered this wonderful woman until it seemed that their enthusiasm would never abate Nance O'Neil in the William Fox pro- duction of Princess Romanoff is the American Bernhardt.
