At the Plaza

Among the mysteries of the power of the will, is it's domination over mat ter. This has progressed to such an extent that there are many instances where power of mind, eXerted upon any inanimate thing, has caused it to move. Table tapping is one of these and the ordinary stunts that used to be4bulled off by hypnotists and spirit ualists are among them. Levitation is one of them. By that, is meant the ability of the will of one person to move the body of another so that it appears to float in the atmosphere. Seemingly this is an overcoming of the laws of gravity. In the present in stallment of "The Mysteries of Myra," !" Howard Estabrook, as Dr. Alden, does just this to pretty Jean Sothern, who Is acting as "Myra Maynard the heroine He causes the body to float in the air in the room and move about, and his mastery of this again saves the life of the sweet young girl.

 in the way of pictures, will be seen at the Plaza today only.

tO boost their valuations, but here it was a different matter. Rents are way down, having in practically sll cases been cut in two. For this req son, the land owners could not af- ford to pay the taxes assessed them at the present time.
 John Norton stated that it was no ones fault that the assessed values had been placed so high except the owners of the land He stated that they had all been inflating their land values in a desperate eSf0rt to sell out to eastern buyers.
 The question of the city taxes was brought up by chairman of the board of Supervisor Luke. He stated tha { Assessor Barnett of the city. had never made any new values, but had copied the valuations made by the county assessor, and that the city board of equalization had met and concluded their business before. the county board had even convened, thus stifling all cooperation.
 He stated that he had seen Mayor Corpstein and City Manager Craig. and that both had agreed that :he city values were too high, and would address a letter to the state board of equalization to that effect This let ter was not forthcoming. and accord ing to Mir Luke was due to the fact that these two gentlemen had inter- viewed their lawyer. who had in- formed them that to a1mit to the state board that the city values were too high, would be to admit that they had made a mistake when the city board of equalization was in exist ence

STATE BOARD LISTENS TO THE
 COMPLAINTS OF LAND OWNERS

In the neighborhood of twenty-five prominent valley land owners ap- peared before the state board of equalization yesterday afternoon, at the hearing of the arguments pre- scented by the county board of su perVissrs, relative to the twenty per cent reduction made by that body on irrigated land, town and city lots in the valley.
 It developed at that hearing. through the testimony of different land owners. that they were to man in favor cf the reduction made by the supervisors, and opposed to County Tax Assessor Bone, who seeks 10 hold the valuation at its former amount.
 Practically every one testified that he was holding land at a smaller price than the value placed upon it by the county assessor. In some in- stances, the assessed value was sev- eral thousand dollars higher thaa the price at which it could be bought.
 The whole controversy between the board of supervisors ard Assessor Zone has arisen since the county board sat al county board of equal ization. At that time Chairman I.uke stated. Assessor Bone agreed wish the hoard in that reduction should be made. but at the Prescott meeting of the state tax conference n cllange was made. and MT.

SPECIALIST JOINS
 TIE K|SSEL FORCES

The Kissel Auto company Of Arizona,
 managed by George II. Reuben, has just placed one of the best truck spe- cialists in the United States in charge of it's truck department. The new department head is George E. Ruth erford, who has just arrived from the eastern factory. For ten years he has been recognized truck and specialist authority, in close touch with all fac tory developments and working out the truck problems of some of the largest mercantile firms of the big eastern cities. Since MT. Reuben has taken the Arizona field for the Kissel Kar he has realized the growing i'm portance of the truck business, and has for some time been on the lookout for the best available department head. MT. Rutherford is thoroughly convers- ant with the Kissel factory develop ment and has analysed and standard , ized the equipment facilities for big firms in Chicago, Buffalo, Albany, Syracuse and Philadelphia. Some time was spent in the Pennsylvania oil fields, where he analysed thoroughly truck problems and installed proper trucks to handle the situation on Pennsylvania country roads and of hill pulls. It was | this experience that MT. Reuben rec 1 oghized as a valuable asset in MT. ! Rutherford in handling the situation in Arizona mining haul problems.
 1 It is realized that the ordinary busi- ness man is not familiar with the duties ! and abilities of trucks. To get best I possible results, ana lowest possible cost of operation it is wise to have the 1 problems and work to be done thor oughly analysed and a survey made of every need and requirement. Each individual requirement, regardless of

ROTARY CONVENTION
 \ DECIDED SUCCESS

Claude Decatur Jones, of the Phoe- nix Union High School, and one of the livest wires belonging to the Phoenix Rotary Club. arrived home yesterday MT. Jones has been away from Phoe- nix for the past five weeks and in that time has visited New York, where he attended the session of the N. E. A; Washington, where he did not call upon the president; Cincinnati where he at tended the meetings of the Rotary con- vention and saw the Reds play; St Louis, where he took in some more ball games, and practically all of the other large cities of the east, including Kan sas City.
 MT. Jones was especially enthusiastic over the Rotary convention. Before leaving here he was about as thor oughly initiated in the mysteries of Rotarism as any of the bugs, but now he is way beyond them. He went, he saw and he learned. In fact, he re- turned educated in all that pertains to Rotary.
 About 5000 Rotarians attended the meetings of the national convention They came from all over the United States. including Arizona and Cuba MT. Jones was especially pleased with
 
 They were dignified and instructive. All the various phases of Rotary life were gone into, talked about and ar gued from every side
 One of the pleasing things, and in Tact ope of the conditions which par tlcularly appealed to Mir Jones, was the fact that there were 1000 wives of Rotarians present. This, it was said in Cincinnati, was the only convention ever held there that saw fit to bring their wives along. Another thing that pleased everyone was the remark of a cab driver when he stated that he had not carried single drunken Rotarian back to his hotel.
 Entertainment of every kind, sort or description was provided for the delegates The Atlanta delegation gave a watermelon feed, bringing three car ! loads of genuine southern melons all the way from their southern cline. 1 John H. Patterson, head of the Ma tional Cash Register company at Day. ton, provided two special trains to carry the delegates to Dayton. where an entertainment described as of the royal variety was put up.
 Everywhere that Mr. Jones went he found it hot. In fact he confessed last night that he had cut his vacation short in order that he could come home and cool off. From now on he will be at the high school, getting the science department into shape for the coming year.
 MT. Jones was honored by the Ro- tarians by being made secretary of the public schools trade section, of which M. C. Potter superintendent of schools of Milwaukee is the head
 The next national convention of the Rotarians will be held at Atlanta. Tn. delegation from the southern town put on mammoth advertising campaign to obtain the reward
