HOUSE COMPLETELY
 DESTROYED BY FIRE

Fire caused by the eXplosiion of a lamp, fast evening completely destroyed the home of c. T. Davis. corner of Tonto and Sixth avenue. Davis is pro- prietOr of the Capital Tailoring com pany.
 The house has been empty for some time and Davis was just moving in. He had moved in part of his furniture and about $250 worth of new mems clothes. which he had not yet trans ferred to his clothing establishment.
 He had gone to the house last eve ming to see that everything moved dur ing the day was secure. He lighted lamp, and in some unexplained manner it exploded, throwing oil in every di rection and starting a conflagration that soon extended over the entire house.
 Tardiness in turning in an alarm, probably prevented the saving of a con siderable portion of the house and its contents. The fire department was forced to lay hose three blocks in order to reach the fire.
 The loss is estimated at between $500 and $6OO.

"More Wardrobe, {" Says Chief "Barelegged Beauties" Are Now Clad

The bare-legged beauties at the Coliseum, comprising the chorus of the Jimmie Lee Musical Comedy company, must pay more attention to wardrobe and less to the display of shapely limbs. This is the sub stance of an order issued by Chief of Police George Q. Brsbois yester- day. The style of dress that might be cCuntenanced, even sanctioned, at Venice, Ocean Park Redondo or other beaches are hardly appropriate for a musical comedy house in Phoenix in the opinion of the head of the police department.
 The order directing the chorus to wear more clothing when doing their dainty dances, followed the receipt by the chief of no end of written and verbal complaints from various citizens who expressed themselves as shocked when the tightless girls. with exceptionally abbreviated skirts, endeavored to entertain them at the Coliseum. The chief said he had

TEXT BOOKS
 ARE HELD UP
On Account of Uncertain State of Appropriations It is Probable That the Books Will Not Be Avail able at School Opening

There is a strong possibility that the state will be unable to furnish free text books this year. The tan gled appropriation bill may be soon strengthened out in the courts but if the appropriations for the state school fund should be found to be valid it would then probably be too late to arrange for the books so that they would be received by the time of the opening of the schools If the appropriation should be found to be invalid, funds for the school books would not be available until after another session of the legislature.
 The MNei company is under con tract to furnish the books and the company has received from Superin- tendcnt Case a partial list of the books required. The contract this year will amount to about $5O,000. The company. probably, will hesitate 10 incur an indebtedness of that amount for which the state may have no money for months, and possibly Eot until after the next regular ses- sion of the legislature.
 The company is under a $20,000 bond for the fulfillment of the con tract, but the state being a tempor- arilv insolvent party and having be- come insolvent after the contract was entered into the company would be redeemed from its obligation.
 In the most favorable circum- stances the books will be greatly de- laNed this year. At this time last year the lists had long before been received from the superintendent. had been ordered and many of them had been delivered to the schools. This year, on account of the state of the appropriation the superinten- cent was not able to make up the list. Now the books are vet to be ordered from the publishing house and then Co be distributed.

SEEMS THE MAKING
 Of 4 GREAT MINE
Rich Silver Lead Property in Yves
 tern Part of County

There is property in the western rart of this county that is becoming mine before it's existence is gen erally known. It consists of a group of two claims about fifteen miles northwest of Winters Wells. Returns have just been received from ship ment of a carload of silver lead ore which netted $40S. The expense in clude1 a twenty-seven mile wagon haul to the station of Hassayampa.
 This property was discovered by a Mexican in 1863 and for a long time was worked for silver. For many years it has lain idle but some time ago it came into the possession of area of silver lead ore on the surface but somehow there was an impress sion that it did not go down. But the assessment work disclosed that there was good ore as far as inves tigation was made. It is rich in vanadium: it is believed to be one of the greatest deposits of that met al in the country. On one claim the ore is seven per cent vanadium and six per cent on the other.
 The ore of the former can be con centrated, four tons to a ton of con centrates and the latter. five tons to q ton of concentrates. These con- cenrates are worth s200 a ton.

GRANDMA USED SAGE
 TEA ID DARKEN HAIR
She made up a mixture of Sage Tea and Sulphur to bring back color
 gloss, thickness

Common garden sage brewed into a heavy tea with sulphur and alcohol added, will turn gray, streaked and faded hair beautifully dark and luxuri- ant, remove every bit of dandruff, stop scalp itching ana falling hair. Just a few applications will prove a revelation if your hair is fading, gray or dry scraggly and thin. Mixing the Sage Tea and Sulphur recipe at home, though, is troublesome. An easier way is to get the ready-to use tonic, costing about 50 cents a large bottle at drug stores. known as "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound" thus avoiding a lot of muss.
 While wispy, gray. faded hair Is not sinful, we all desire to retain our youthful appearance and attractive ness. By darkening your hair with Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur, no one can tell, because it does it so naturally, so evenly. You just dampen a sponge or soft brush with it and draw this through your hair. taking one small strand at a time; by morning all gray hairs have disappeared. and, after an other application or two, your hair becomes beautifully dark. glossy, soft and luxuriant.

FINANCES AND MARKETS
TAssoCIATED PRESS DIsPArcHl

NEW YORK, August 2.-In view of the eccentric performances of the market last week, with furious spec ulation in a few volatile favorites and evidences of their instability at high prices elevated, and traders were in doubt at the opening which way to turn. The inclination was to at tempt further marking up of war stocks. Public buying of these is sues fell off, and the orders accun = ulating over the week end were the smallest in several weeks.
 Trading expanded in all classes af- ter the opening followed by a com prehensive rise continuing through the day. War stocks, coppers, fer tilizers. oil and other industrials made good gains. The broad and substantial upturn of railroads was regarded as one of the most en- cOuraging developments. Total sales aggregated 6OOOOO shares.
 Further favorable trade reports contributed their strength. Copper shares were exceptionally strong and active. Although no quota ble changes occurred in rates of copper, reports of further shading prices will be made by large producers The sales represented par value of $2.4O0.OO0.

no particular personal desire to ham per the young women in their eff forts to display their charms, but thought it to the best interests of all concerned if the skirts were made a little longer or little less eX- panse of shapely limbs be shown. Against the protest that this manner of dress gave the utmost freedom in the execution of difficult dances, the chief was obdurate.
 And that's why the happy faced, shapely misses of the Coliseum chorus appeared last evening in at tire less calculated to arouse the criticism of the prudish or the en- thusiasm of those who found enter tainment in the flashing of undraped limbs. The girls themselves pouted when told they must wear more clothing and they were inclined to think the head of the police depart ment q 'horrid old thing" until they learned that it wasn't all his fault anyhow. But pink tights are dainty anyhow

QUESTION OF FEDS
STILL IN BALANCE

The question of the Federal player
in the Imperial Valley Winter League
still hangs in the balance. Managers
of the various cnDs met at Imperial
last night. but failed TO reach a de-
cision.
1t looks now rs though the decision
will be put sauarely up to the players.
The local team is To meet tonight with
Manager Joe Seymour. and the fate of
johnson, signed on the El Centre team.
and of Kenworthy, signed with the
Brawley Pirates. will probably be de-
cided. Both have been released tempo
rarily pending a settlement.
There are angles to the discussion.
on one hand, President Baum of the
Pacific Coast League bans the PLAYING
Of Pacific Coast men on a team on
which Federal PLAYERS have been
"igncd. On the other hand. President
Bultz of the Players Fraternity states
that Baum has no authority to keep
a man from playing on a team on
which Federal players have been
signed. unless the contract of the Coast
League player so states.
Technically Johnson is not vet
Federal player. having jumped the
Oakland team this year to play with
the Federals next year. but whether
that phase of the question will enter
into the discussion is mere conjecture.
It was rumored that other men in the
Valley League have signed with the
F"derals for next year. but Johnson
and Kenworthy appear to be the only
. players about whom The discussion
is centering
It is understood that certain mem
berS of the various teams will object
stronuously TO the signing of Ken
worthy and Johnson. taking the stand
that they do not intend to endanger
their contracts on the issue involved.
President Baum of the Pacific Coast
League outlined his position i'm the
question i'm no uncertain terms. He
stated that the players who signed
with a team employing Federal play
ers. or an umpire who umpired in
league under similar conditions. was
subject TO a heavy penalty.
