 Naturally the jevenile sports will attract a whole lot of interest. Under the capable direction of Boys Sec retary Carter of the F. Nj. C.

The game of playground ball will, no doubt, draw the attention of many of the closer followers of the juvenile activities.

Anyway it will be grand and impress siye close of a day marked by a wonderful display of local and nation al enthusiasm.

EXPENSES INCURRED BY SHERIFF'S MEN
 ARE AN OPEN BOOK
ltemized Bills Contracted By Spe Cial Investigators Are Contain ed in Daily Reports Bearing 0. K. of County Prosecutor.

Because of the confusion which has arisen between the sherim's office and the Board of Supervisors over the pay ment of expenses incurred by special officers employed by Sheriff Wheeler to insure observance of the prohibit ton laws in this county as far as pos sible, The Review has inspected a certified copy of the expense account This account contains a detailed state ment of the items contracted by J B. Campbell and D. K Black, the special investigators, and bears the O, K. of County Attorney John F. Ross. The total of salaries and expenses of the two men for May is $459.7O. There is due them $11O
 The itemized expense accounts con tain no charge which seems unreason- able in view of the nature of the work demanded Hotel bills are charged at the rate of S2 per day. Except when en route from Phoenix to Douglas, the largest total daily bill contracted by Campbell was on May 6 when he spent SS.60. Blacks maximum day bill was SS9O on May 1. On other days. the total expenses were respectively as low as S2S5 and S3.25.
 Discussing the matter yesterday Sheriff Wheeler said: "There is nothing to hide from the public. Gila. Maricopa Yavapai and, ] understand Pima counties, also have employed similar means at far greater expense because of longer periods of employ ment
 From these operations Gin Cochise county) nine cases have been secured representing all told some twenty charges. Five cases have been await ing trial some time. Four cases have

It Is impossible Go pre- vent bootlegging unless unknown men are employed officers who are known cannot succeed It is immaterial to me personally whether detectives are continued or not If, however, they are discontinued, apprehension of pro- hibition violators will be simply a chance or a piece of luck cannot see why the other counties are allow ed the use of detectives and this coun- ty be forbidden the same identical service. These men were recommend ed to me by Maricopa county As they failed to land even one case in Bisbee, it would not seem they are men who would frame up on any one.' 70
 There does not appear in the item ized totals for May a sum of S2OO which represents money advanced by Sheriff Wheeler in the legitimate and well-considered prosecution of this work. Throughout the daily expense bills appears charges of S2 for whis- key. This whiskey was secured as ev- idence and is now intact in the pos session of the sherins office.

LOCAL BANDS WILL
 FURNISH SPLENDID
 MUSICAL FEATURES
c. & A. and Copper Queen Organ izationS Promise Rare Treats for Lovers of Best in Music; Splendid Sports.

With the day Of the great observ- ance of the natal anniverstary of Anne rican liberty less than a week distant plans for the immense celebration have entirely passed the formulative and tentative stages and assumed a definite and final form as indicated by the announcement of the program and general information as published in yesterdays Review. All that now remains to be done is the perfection of the plans already outlined. That the vigorous demonstration of enthu- siasm which marked the inception of the Fourth observance plans was not merely a temporary display of tran sient holiday gusto is being more and more evinced as the great day draws near.
 While it is true that the spectacular military maneuvers will play a strik. ingly important role in the varied pro gram, yet citizens of Bisbee and the rest of the Warren District should not overlook the fact that from dulhuk llElA oM n nAIAUNA VIII uN ua7 sembled some of the most talented en- tertainers of the day. Nor should the residents of the district in any way minimize the intrinsic value which their own people will play in the gala activities.
 Reference is made to the two splen- did musical organizations, the c. & A. and Copper Queen bands which will furnish concerts for the edifcation of the vast crowds which will throng the streets of Bisbee or seek the refresh ing breezes or pleasant environment of Vista Park. At this point it might be well to call attention to the fact that here in Bisbee the residents are favored with musical offerings free of all charge, which would do credit to much larger and more metropolitan communities. Since familiarity breeds contempt" is is, perhaps, not to be wondered at that the splendid efforts of both the c. & A. and Cop

The film version is presented with many members of the original cast. includ- ing the star and Willis P Sweatman in his inimitable characterization. Sassafras Livingston.
 The play is blending of quaint characterizatons and wholesome TO- nance. The story deals with a rural political campaign for the office of prosecuting attorney, with a tender love story running through the struc. tural web. The central character is Jim Hackler, "The County Chairman. " whose junior partner in law practice is Tilford Wheeler. All the action oc- CUTS in the fictitious town of Antioch, but the principles of the drama apply equally to New York and Chicago, for one touch of politics, like that of na- ture, makes the whole world kin.
 Maclyn Arbuckle's impersonation of Jim Hacker is destined to live for many years as a perfect character study. It is true to life, and void of all fictitious value and while there is ample variety of mood feeling and purpose, there is never any faltering from the keynote of sincerity

 That there has been bootlegging in Mescal going on in the District for the past few months. is an established fact The liquor is brought across the line in several places, one at a point where the San Pedro enters the Unit ed States and at or near Naco, partic- ularly The prevalence of Mescal drunks in Bisbee and the Warren Dis trict has convinced the officers that a very substantial traffic is going on.
 Another point which would point to a conclusion that Americans were not involved in the murder of Brooks. is the fact that, in all probability they would have packed the Mescal across the line and then would have loaded it into an automobile or into a wagon for transport into the district There is sufficient traffic along the roads from Naco into the District Co divert suspicion from any vehicle which may be using them at night Another con sideration is the fact that Americans
