ASSOCIATED PRESS DIsPArcH1


 NEW YORK, July 15.-Harry Thaw slept tonight in Ludlow street jail for the last time perhaps in his life as a prisoner. Tomorrow morning he is to know whether the future holds for him Matteawan or freedom. when Supreme Court Justice Hendrick will announce his decision on a motion made to have the order committing Thaw to Mat teawan in 1908 formally vacated.
 If the decision is in Thaw's favor, the state will appeal, according to Deputy Attorney General Cook. There will then come before the court the matter of bail for Thaw until the appeal is decided. The state has signified that it would oppose Thaw's release on bail. but if it should lose on this point, it would ask what bond would be made him. Justice Hendrick today indicated that he would probably accept bail.
 When Thaw was taken from the sheriff's office it happened that he was pushed into an elevator whose door was closed before a deputy sheriff could enter. Realizing that he was un- guarded, Thaw commanded the eleva tor attendant to stop and made him go back. reopen the door and admit the deputy.

projector type. which will be used in connection with the other lights when necessary. The same is mounted at the right of the driver so that it can be operated without leaving the seat of the car, either while the car is in motion or on a stand The capacity of this searchlight Is 4,50O.OOO candle power and when in operation requires twenty five per cent of the full ca pacity of the plant to operate the same
 The entire power plan and automo- bile weighs approximately eight thousand pounds The compactness and simplicity of the plant was the principal aim in designing the unit. By the application of the auto type engine in this work the weight is greatly reduced. which is proved by the fact that q light plant of the same capacity which can be pur- chased from the eastern manufactur- CTS. weighs three times as much as the above described installation.
 This plant was built at the works of the Phoenix Cold Storage and Ma chine Works. under the supervision of MT. Ensign, the designer, and
 
 Supply and Fixture company. Mir Fielding personally assisted MT. En sign in the many seeming insignifi- cant details. which were worked out to perfect conclusion and MT. En- sign informs the writer that MT. Fielding is a born mechanic and would be called a successful man in any line which he might undertake, because of his indomitable will and hard work.
 The first big picture in which the plant will be thoroughly tested will be "The Great Divide" which the Lubin Company has honored MT. Fielding by asking him to produce. This will be one of the biggest fea- lures. ever attempted part of it will be taken in and around Phoenix and the remainder in the neighbor hood of the Grand Canyon, using that wonderful place for backgrounds.

"The Spanish Jaoe"

For the week end program at the Arizona, Manager Mace is presenting Betty Bellaire in The Spanish Jade" a fascinating tale of love and trag- edy, with the unique costumes and scenes of Spain. The story is talk en from the novel by Maurice Hew- lett ana it is interpreted by a cast such as one expects to find in Paramount Pictures.
 The scenes were all taken in the country where the locale of the story is said and particular pains has been taken to have the costumes correct.
 The dramatization for the screen was made by Louis Joseph Vance and will be found to be an especially able piece of work. It holds the interest from the first few feet of film to the very end of the picture and there are none of the dragged out situations that one so frequently finds in features. It will be at the Ari- zona today and tomorrow.
