 Jack Leonard, who is fast going to the bad by the drink route, staggers into the apartment of Countess Iva Ivanhoff, a Russian seeress. She sees
 in the millionaire derelict the ideal man she has dreamed about, in spite
 of his demoralized appearance. She keeps him a sort of prisoner without drink, till he becomes restored to his

The play is filled with heart interest, comedy and tense dramatic situations and as this will mark the first opportunity the theatergoers of Phoenix have had to witness this sterling dramatic offering, it is safe to predict another record week at the CoZy Elks theater. The regular Red mond matinees of Fine Feathers" will

Stinga- rec is an English gentleman, who from wrongs in his home land takes to the Australian Bush and there robs with an abandon and a talent that lifts him to the class with Claude DuVal, Robin Hood and others of the better known gentlemen knights of the road. Stingaree does not rob the poor and he does some mighty queer stunts in his career. The Stingaree series will be shown each Sunday at the Amuzu. They are in two reels each and there is no connection be- tween the several episodes The big punch of the series aside from the part of Stingaree is the white horse companion of the robber. This horse is q wonder so say those who have seen him in pictures. The initial Stingaree will be offered with one

trine has been agreed upon by the

TO
DEATH

The little four year old son of Mrs
Louis Hahn, widow, who resides in the
Oak Grove near the Chicago & North
western track south of the F. w. Burt
cident Tuesday afternoon about one
o'clock. Mrs. Hahn had taken a boiler
of boiling waite, from the stove and
set it on the floor in the kitchen. The
children playing about must have un-
covered it and in an unaccountable
way the little boy must have backed
up against the boiler and fell into the
water, scalding his little form from
the arm pits down below his knees,
leaving the two extremities of his
body free from burns. He suffered
excrutiating pain the rest of the after
noon and night and died Wednesday
morning about seven o'clock. Every
thing was done for the little sufferer
that could be done to relieve him
from pain, but he was SO badly burned
that it was impossible to save his life.
The mother in getting the little one
out of the boiler scalded her arms and
hands up as far as the elbow so that
she is suffering from her burns and is
helpless to do anything.
This is an extremely unfortunate
case as the mother has little income
in fact is assisted by the city. We
would suggest that the Relief Com
mittee of the Ladies of the Federation
take this family in hand and look after
them and see that they suffer none
of the necessities for care and COM

military attache to the German en-
HRssy at Washington, paid money to
men to blow up munition factories in
the United States and to Werner Horn
to blow up railway bridge on the
Canadian border was issued by the
Overseas News agency. The report of
the agency follows:
THE Reuter- agency reports that
letters and bank books of Captain
Won Papen, seized by the British at
Falmouth, contain evidence that the
military attaclse paid money to per-
sons to cause explosions in American
munitions factories and to other Grim
inals.
THE Overseas agency learns from
competent authorities that these as
sertions are not correct.
Captain Won Papen's letters and
bank accounts, which were seized in
violation of the safe conduct granted
him by the United States, are of pure
ly peTSOudl anu private business cQar-
acter.
Captain Won Papen never paid any
money to persons connected with at
tempts or alleged attempts against
munition plants, or bridges or any
other American property. No money

to Horn, who is accused of attempting
to destroy a Canadian bridge.

LABOR MUST BE CONSIDERED
Gompers Says the Workingman Must
Have Seat on the Prepared

Washington, Jan. 19.-Labor must
have a seat on the preparedness bench.
That is the price Of labors consent
to increased armament, as outlined by
Samuel Gompers, president of the
American Federation of Labor, to the
National Civic Federation, in session
here
Whatever plan for greater defense
may be adopted" said Mr.. Gompers,
"the organized labor movement of
America demands that certain funda-
mental principles be regarded Or
ganized labor asserts its right to rep
resentation on all committees, com
missions or bodies to decide on mill
tary defense. The working people of
all nations are always the most vi
tally affected by military service in
