CARNIVAL |S. KING 1T THE
 LAWN PARTY.

Lights, music and gayety made the Chalmers lawn a miniature mardi eras last night. when society attended the Country club lawn fete. Society was there in the plural.
 An attactive garden setting, under wide spreading trees. formed the background for the pantomime play let Peggy Green" who, in the person of Mrs. Ernest w. Bennett. was in troduced. The little play was hugely enjoyed, both for it's intrinsic charm and for the snappy manner in which it was interpreted.
 While the play was the cream of tho program. there was much of in- terest in the circus and side shows. Warren McArthur, logged out in top hoots. shiny hat and red scarf, acted as master of ceremonies. thereby ere sting suspcian that he had associ- ated with persons who live under the big top. His was q mastcrly rresen- tatim of tie oddities Of the ring master.
 The cabaret features. led bv Mrs. Sidney Ross were specially effective. Mrs. Ross appeared in the role of a Spanish dancer. The choruses and dances were fine.
 On one side Of the lawn were ranged tue pavilions, or booths. where everything that makes up side show was to be found. even unto the real Senegambian Dodger.
 Beside the more classical dances were the Egyptian dances, in which Edgie Goldman and Charles McArthur scored. Arch Cater made positively the best bearded lady ever seen here His was a hard role. for no bearded lady who adheres to the traditions of her profession ever says Pom Pom with an Italian basso- -impetuoso ex- pression and accent.
 There WAS a strong man, whose name was lost to posterity through nc fault of the reporter and confetti in clouds. and refreshments on every hand.
 4 dance floor had been laid on the lawn and after the myriad other at fractions had been done, the large crowd addressed itself to the details of the one step. Good music was furnished. Good results were at tained and a good time was had

FIRST EASEMENT 0P
 TO PEACE STRENGTH
 BEFORE WEEKS END
Recruiting Slowing up and it is Doubt ful if Enough Men are Secured
 for War Strength

At the rate with which recruits fer the guard are coming in, Adjutant General Harris is of the opinion that the regiment will be recruited to full peace strength by the end of the week. How much longer it will take to bring the organization up to war strength, is another problem.
 Yuma, has proren one of the best recruiting grounds in the state. The company sent on the first call was one of the largest, and fully fifty recruits have been added since then.
 Tn spite of favorable returns coming
 from over the state, Harris is some
 what dubious over the prospects of ever getting the one thousand addi-
 tional men needed. He is distinctly
 disappointed with the attitude of the
 men in Phcenlx. With Yuma and Saf- lord as comparison, Phoenix has dis- tinctly fallen down in furnishing the , regiment its quota of men. Fully two hundred should go from here, accord ing to the adjutant generals calcula tions About one-fourth of this num- Der have so far volunteered.

.0[D FIRE ALARM
 B0Xa WORKS FINE

Four young school boys. were taught lacy of not fooling with fire alarm boxes. by Fire Chief A. F. Wright, which they have promised not to for get for many long day.
 Tho lads were wandering along Monroe street yesterday noon just prior to the opening of the afternoon session One of the boys who was a little brighter than the other three mo- ticed a fire alarm box attached to telephone pole, and expressed the opin- lon that it was too old to be of any use, and that that style had gone out of use several years ago.
 Acting on this theory, one of the boys opened the box pulled down the knob and waited for results They came in the shape of two huge chug ging auto fire engines helmeted fire men hanging all around in pictur- esque attitudes.
 The boys ran post haste to school, ard proceeded to get interested in theiI lessons, although badly scared. A woman wko had seen them hanging around the box told the firemen which direction they had taken, / and sur- missed that they had gone to the Mon roe school. With the assistance of Superintendent of Schools John D. Lo- per, four boys who were evidently la boring under excitement of some mag nitude were brought out, and ques- tioned. Trey finally admitted their act
 Fire Chief Wright brought them down to the station and there in a pa i ternal way read them the riot act. and 1 got their promises to be good in the ! future. no matter if they do think the fire alarm boxes are out of date.

tain, on the other hand, that the young woman had not been drinking On this presumption there remains but the one other theory, that of drugging, to explain her condition and her actions on Sunday night.
 For the present Stevens and Ked- dington are being held on another charge which will probably be dis missed as soon as the charges in connection with the Sunday night af- fair are filed. Keddington and Stevens are not allowed to talk with anyone outside the jail while the in- vestigation proceeds. Those who res cued the girl on Sunday night, now say she was not unconscious but that she was standing on the running board of the automobile in an ap- parently dazed condition This con- dition they attributed to drugs, as did, and still do the officers who ar rested Stevens and Keddington.

SUFFRAGE SPECIAL
 WEARS WASHINGTON

After a 3S day trip through the twelve enfranchised states, the Con- gressional Union envoys will reach Washington May 16 and deliver the voting women's ultimatum to con- gress Pass the Susan B. Anthony amendment in this session, or pre- pare for war" is the substance of the note" which will travel west from Salt Lake on board the Suffrage Special" which visited Phoenix month ago.
 Congress has been apprised of the approach of the envoys and staid senators are conjuring over the re- quest filed by a group of voting wom- en that the envoys be granted the privilege of making their appeal for nation wide suffrage from the floor of the senate chamber. The resolu- ton introduced by Senator Curtis created a furore among the national legislators and was referred to the rules committee.
 During their trip through the free states the envoys distributed one hun ! dred thousand calls to the Woman's Party convention to be held in Chi cago, June ,. and |, simultaneously with the Republican and Progressive party conventions.
 Acting on the tip from Colonel 1 Roosevelt who recently endorsed na- tion-wide suffrage. politicians all ovel
 the country are lining up in favol of the amendment according to infor. nation given out by the Union. Word
 has just been received at the ma.
 tional headquarters that the Repub lican State Committee of Colorad' passed a resolution endorsing tn,
 federal amendment policy. Accordin.
 to Miss Alice Paul, national chairman
 of the Union, the action of the Col
 orado Republicans is in line wit
 that of other state political bodie
 throughout the west where natio
 wide suffrage has been general
 supported.
