ALL PLEASED WITH
 GAMBLE CONCERT

The Gamble Company concert given on the lyceum course last Monday night, proved an enter tainment of the finest order and was well liked by all that heard. It is to be regretted that a larger number of people did not have the opportunity of enjoying it.
 The woman's club is to be con- graduated upon having brought the high class of entertainments to Williams which they have this year. It has not been altogether a paying proposition as yet for that club, but it is hoped that a large attendance at the home talent number to be given next month will suffice to make up the deficit, The people should get heartily back of this movement.

NO ONE KNEW
(From Arizona Gazette)

From ArlZOna GaZetCe)
 Section No. 123, providing for the appropriation of $11, 900 to pay a deficit for the Northern Arizona Normal school brought about a lengthy discussion and by the time the matter was settled it was cut in half, this being one of the very few reductions made so far in the appropriations asked by the various institutions.
 No one, not even Marian of Coco nino county, knew what the $1 1 ,OOO covered. Pinkley (Gila) explained that the deficit was incurred the last days of Arizona as a territory. Marian objected to just getting one half of the sum and was advised by Claypool that he had better consider himself fortunate if he got that amount. An item providing for s3,0OO for improvement of the school grounds was cut out.

MEMS SMOKER
 A GREAT SUCCESS

Some seventy-fve or hundred men i've had such a good time we forgot to count them) attend ed the smoker at the Parish House last Friday night. An ex- cellent spirit of goodfellowship prevailed and the time spent in cards, chess and conversation passed all too quickly. These were followed by light refresh ments made up of delicious sand wiches and coffee.
 The meeting was next called to order for the purpose of organizing a Williams mems club. Mr. Hughes was elected temporary president and MT. Robinson was elected temporary Sec. Treas. Committee on mem bership, constitution and bylaws and accommodations were next appointed. Later a committee on refreshments was added.
 A lively discussion was had over the matter of choosing a name for the organization. Williams Social Club, Williams Business Mems Club, Gate City Club, Coconino Club, and Gads- den Club were among the names suggested. The two names which seemed to receive most favor in the discussions we're The Gate City Club and. The Williams Business Men,s Club. No decision was reached on the question and it was finally tabled until the next meeting.
 The question of the Clubs re- lation to the Chamber of Con- merce was also discussed. MT. Holub, President of the Chamber of Commerce, suggested that the chamber might vote the members of the club to be ex-officio mem- bers of the Chamber. All were agreed that the two should be made to=co-operate in their work for the good of Williams. /
 The plan of having the club divided into sub clubs such as a chess club, whist club, and an athletic club was suggested. This plan seemed to meet with a great deal of favor and will probably be made a part of the constitution and bylaws which is being prepared by the com mittee.
 The meeting adjourned to meet a week from next Friday, March 26.

MOTHER" GOOD AND
 WHOLESOME PLAY

Jules Eckert Goodman's play s'Mother" was the special given at the Sultana Theatre Tuesday night. Emma Dunn featured as the heroine and mother.
 This play brings out all the patience, kindness, tenderness, love and forgiveness found in true mother-love.
 There are six children in the family, two sons, young men, two grown girls and two small boys twins The father of the family is dead. The mother, with barely enough of her husbands fortune left to rear the family in comfort has to deal with two extravagant older sons driven to squandering money by two chorus girls who have caught them in their tolls The two daughters with their love troubles and the twins with theil boyish pranks alone are enough to keep the mother busy.
 In the end the mother straight ems out her daughters love affairs and recovers her two sons saving them from their temptresses and restoring their manhood.
 It is said that so ideal is the visualization that Miss Dunn gives of Mrs. Wetherell that she has become known as the finest inter- preter of mothers visible on the current stage.
 The play is good and wholesome and appeals to the best there is in each person that sees it.

CLUB NOTES

One of the most profitable and most interesting meetings of the year was held last Thursday when the members of the literary depart ment gathered for the study of Ibsen in Norwegian drama.
 Thru the biographical sketch which had been so thoroughly prepared by Mrs. Cureton. it was found that Ibsen is now consid cred the greatest of all modern drama tists. Many clubs are being form ed all over the country for the ex- elusive study of his works.
 In the short time given the club for this program, two of his best dramas were reviewed. Mrs. Will jams took up the work on Peer Gynt. This play alone proves Ibsen a genius. It is phantas.. magory based upon the Folk Lore of Norway and into which Ibsen has woven much of the supernat- ural, making it most difficult of interpretation. To read it intelli- gently requires the deepest study, but Mrs. Williams did it justice in every detail, bringing out the most obscure as we'll as the finest parts of the story.
 Mrs. Lee and Miss Poison then rendered Grieg's Peer Gynt Music consisting of four pieces, ''The morning song, Dance of Anitra, In the home of the mountain king Death of Ase." This was especia. lily fine and greatly appreciated by the audience.
 "The Dolls House." read by Mrs. Cureton was play of an en tirely different type, but with iti popular theme and intelligent characters could not fail t. each its namely the emancipation of woman. When it was first pub lished it caused condemnation a mong the women of other countries and the American woman coulo find much in it for thought and study. Mrs. Cureton's handling O. this play was most excellent az: ii all her literary work. The mex meeting of this department will b. held on March 25th.

Every resident of Williams should list all the vacant rooms they have that they are willing to rent to summer visitors, with the Chamber of Commerce at once. Inquiries for rooms to rent for the summer are coming to the Chamber, thick and fast and the secretary and president of the organization do not have on record nearly a large enough supply to fill the demand.
 If you will list the rooms you have at once you stand a good chance of getting them filled for the entire summer. It is proba- bletha6 most rooms will be en- gagged in advance.
 In listing your rooms report to Jerrie Lee, secretary, at Ken nedy's grocery store, or to J. M. Holub, president, at Babbitt's.

Climb Bill" on Snowshoes

Messrs. Kimbal and Deering of the forestry Station climbed to the top of Bill Williams last Saturday. on snowshoes. They started at A. M., spent an hour at the top and reached town at noon. This made but four hours for the trip up and back, which establishes a record for the trip on snowshoes, and has not often been beaten on a clear trail. They admit that it was a strenuous trip, but claim that it was well worth the effort In some places they found the snow fifteen feet deep.

MEN, REMEMBER THAT
 MEETING TONIGHT
Chamber of Commerce at Justice of Peace Twitty's Office, 8 O'Clock

Every man interested in the welfare of Williams should be present at the most important meeting of the Chamber of Con- merce to be held at Judge Twit- tvs office tonight. The Chamber convened on the regular meeting night, last night, and adjourned to meet tonight, Thursday, March 19. This, adjournment was due to the many seriously conflicting events of last night. The most important of the many things to be brought up tonight is the Grand Canyon Road question.
 It is the plan of the roads com mittee to ask the Chamber to pass resolutions asking the county Supervisors to set aside speci- fled sum from the road fund for use on the Grand Canyon road. This is reasonable request and it is hoped that the Supervisors will receive it favorably. To give these resolutions full force a large attendance is necessary at tonight's meeting.
 There is no one thing of great CT importance to the prosperity of Williams at present than the improvement of the Grand Can yon road. Williams is properly the gateway city to the Canyon. Running as it does along beside the Santa Fe track to the Canyon it has an insurmountable advan- tage to the tourist over every other road to that point, Just al present this road is in far great CT need of work than any other road in this part of the county. From the per cent of county taxes that this side of the county pays, the people of Williams are cer. tainly deserving of having theil wish granted in this matter, ane with the fair board that we now have at the court house there is every probability of the request of the Chamber meeting witf success. Do not let this move ment fail for want of your hearty cooperation.
 In addition to the work spoke1 of above, the meeting will hea reports from the various standing committees, and many additiona important matters will be up fo. discussion. The time is tonight The place is Judge Twitty's office The hour is 8 p. m. Don't fai your nome town.

.SEuGMAN MURDER
 SUSPECT ARRESTED

This Week Tuesday, Night Marshall Robt. Burns, went in = to the Secondhand store in search of stolen gun which it was thought might have been pawned there. He did not find the gun sought but found another. He took down it's. number and compared it with the list of numbers of stolen guns, which is kept at the Justice of Peace office. He found it to be one of the guns stolen from a store in Seligman last summer during the robbery in which MT. John Drain was killed at that place.
 Burns returned to the Second hand store and got the name of the Mexican who had pawned the gun. He next secured a warrant for the arrest of this man and together with Constable George McDougal placed him under arrest. The two officers next secured a search warrant and returned to search the Mexican s house. They found there a large part of the property taken from the Seligman store and also some taken from the Babbitt store in Ash Fork. Two other Mexicans living in the same house were found in possession of some o1 the stolen goods. These two were then placed under arrest. Later on the imprisoned Mex. jeans made confessions implicat ing other Mexicans in other towns and officers immediately waited upon these.
 Thursday, March 1S-Just before going to press word was received that the Mexican first arrested hal been identified as an escaped con vict from the New Mexico penitenti ary. Bobby Burns made the dis covery.
 In looking over the stolen good taken from the Mexican house or Tuesday, Burns came upon severa photographs, one of them being O the Mexican first arrested, that haG been taken in the Santa Fe peniten tiary. These photographs have th' number of the convict upon them. With this as clue, Burns sent ar inquiry to Santa Fe at once and received a telegram in return giving the number and description of ar escaped convict, which answered perfectly to the photograph and the first Mexican arrested Tuesday
 The officers still hope for further developments in the case that vii break up what they are inclined te think is an organized body of theiyel operating thru this country.
