 Various other matters were dis rosed of in the house and an ad- journment was taken to the usual hour this morning.
 Whether the mine tax Bill will be brought up today is rather un- certain. It is on the calendar of the committee of the whole but so far down that the chances are that it will not he reached before to-

Great War Pictures

One of the best collection of war pictures that has come to Phoenix In illustrated weekly pictures is leading the Regale bill at the com fortable little thcater on East Wash inSton street today. Of course most or the pictures were taken early in the war, but the interest in them is still great because it shows the men who have been making history in Europe during the gigantic struggle of the last six months. There are many other good views in the reel. King Baggot again appears in the bill in a strong role. The whole pro- gram in fact is very much worth while.

At The Columbia.

Tonight will see the Squawman, which has been the first bill to be offered for full week at the Colum- bia drawing for the final half of the seven days nice business at the "theater beautiful"
 In the Squawman the best lot of scenic effects used by the Redmond company since they came to Phoenix are offered. and they are indeed ex- ceptional The scene at the cabin of the cowman is a cleverly executed bit of stage realism. and called forth on each night many expressions of ap- proval from the patrons.
 In the matter of cast it is perhaps safe to say that no play yet offered has given each member as good a chance individually as this western idyl The extra people, too. seem to have caught the spirit of the thing and have worked for the perfection of the atmosphere. The Squawman will no doubt hang up a record for the house.

 The vote on the bill was preceded by q spirited debate in which Mr Christy of Greenlee took the lead in opposition to the measure and was supported by MT. Johns of YaVapai. In behalf of the bill Messrs. Powers, Lines and Goodwin were the pripci- pal speakers.
 MT Christy opposed it he said be- cause it modified the amendment which he assumed was the thing the people wanted and moreover, he be- lieved that any modification would he unconstitutional. Mir.

 It is Half Law
 The passage of the Kinney Clay pool bill by the house yesterday ere ated surprise in no quarter. The ma iority in favor of it was not quite as large as that by which it's passage was recommended last Monday and it was probably much larger than it would have been if several members of the house were not sure of the defeat of the bill in the senate
 Early in the afternoon session of the house flood of telegrams and the large mining centers, protesting against the passage of the bill, were read One from J. O. Dunbar urging its passage was presented. In the a large delegation from Ray. mostly MeXicans. appeared at the capitol to see the members on the subject and the delegation was ac corded hearing after the morning session by the committee on labor.

 There were not many visitors in the gallery of either house at the opening. The senate had not very interesting program and it was known that what excitement there would be in the house would be put on in the afternoon session. Just what that would De was not quite certain: It was known that the prohibition bill and the Kinney -Claypool bill would he before the house and there was the possibility that the piece de re- sistance the mine tax bill might be brought out.

SHOW IS A GOOD ONE

Ketchikan theater goers were thoroughly satisfied with the show put on at the Grand last night by the Hurd- Hubbard Theatrical com pany. The show was excellent in every respect, the members of the company all being artists in their own particular lines. They will make several changes tonight, substituting rousing burlesque in place of last night $ sketch, and adding a three reel production, showing the Gunmen of New York. This film shows the resorts of Gyp the Blood and his famous pals, their trial and that of Lieut.. Becker in the famous Rosenthal murder case, giving complete history of the gangsters of the great city. This is the first time this picture has ever been shown on the Pacific coast.
