L - the past u months would oc-
cupy more than thu available space IN

ments as TO some OF the more i'm

might here be enumerated
4 special census Of the city on Jan

Washington. and resulted in the as
touishing fact that lr,lll persons were
within the city limits on that date
This shows an increase Of 51452 over

years. The figure includes s051 refu-

parative comfort q further population
of nearly 10000 so that as this report
is written. the metropolis Of the south
west has more than passed the 100000
mark.
Another remarkable fact might be
sdduced regarding FL Paso just here
and that is. that there are doubtless
more able bodied men in FL Paso and
a greater proportion Of men TO women
than in any city OF anything like It's
size in the world
Military Committee Most Active
Due to the encampment 81 so many
thousand soldiers in such short space
Of time. and the constant transfer Of
regiments during the i months just
ending. the chamber of commerce
military committee has been probably
the most active OF the j. standing COM
mittees Of this organization MeSsrs-

II is greatly due to their work that
the large bodies of militia now quar-

so well settled in their temporary
homes

 Two blocks away where the Daniel
 Hickeys live, they heard the racket
 from Fl Reposo. Both MT. and Mrs.
 Hickey object to the place on account
 of their five sons who have to go
 past the Ellenberg premises to turn
 the water on and off. '1 have heard
 men call ''open the door Mother" said
 Mrs. Hickey. For the sake of my
 boys l wish we did not have such a place.
 E. D. Crawford, who has seven children, stated that it didn't bother
 him. though he admitted it did both er' his wife.
 It was Mrs. Rosa Wesley, who lives directly back of the house who told the story of the silk kimonO dances. She said that men were present and that the doors were open and she
 saw what took place. The curtains. drawn aside on another occasion gave
 Mrs. Wesley further cause to testify for the state. She said the defen- dant had threatened her should she testify against her and had said that the arrest had been made in a spirit of revenge.
 Before Mother took the precau- tion to get a private line, she had a party telephone and Maud Waide told l of a conversation she accidentally overheard. Mrs. Waide said the talk related to ''Mother" getting some new girls on her string. There was much | more conversation of the same character.

In "A Mans Making" which appears at the Empress today is shown one of the best football scenes ever staged before. The entire varsity squad of Pennsylvania State was used. The 'hero." Richard Butler, was sent over to Franklin Field to get in line with the boys, and show them how the game used to be played. He certainly did He crashed through the line the first shot out of the box for forty yards. An excellent picture was obtained of him. dropping the oval over the bars from the forty-yard line. "A Mans Max ing" is one of the best college plays ever put on the screen. It is alive and full of pep all the way through. The scenario is from the pen of Director Jack Pratt.

BROWNS PRAISE IF
 EVANGELIST PRICE
Revival Leader Who was Here Tells Why Revival Leader Who's Com
 ing Should be Successful

Several years ago Brown and Cur ry, noted throughout the country as successful evangelists visited Phoenix and had a great deal of success at a splendid evangelical union meeting that was held at the First Regiment armory on First street. At that time the building was used as a skating rink In view of the wide knowledge of the ability of Rev. John F. Brown. his opinion of Rev Thurston B. Price, who with his associate worker Rev Norman B. Guice will conduct a campaign in Phoenix for the First Baptist and the Central Methodist churches in the near future, is very interesting. MT. Brown says:
 | MT. Price stands amongst the sue cessful eVangelists of the nation. For several years he has been engaged in union and one church campaigns. Through the east, south and south west he has labored with marked sue cess. He has proven unusually strong ! in city churches and in larger fields : in union meetings. MT Price is thor i oughly religious, genial in spirit
 sound in doctrine, possessing rare common sense. and gifted with an ap- pearance and a personality that com mand attention and respect. I know ] of no one more thoroughly equipped | from experience training and grace for the largest possible results in re- vival work. The city fortunate enough
 to have the services of this worthy
 leader is fortunate indeed and pas i tors everywhere will enthusiastically cooperate and heartily endorse the | Price campaign"
 MT Price will open his Phoenix
 campaign at Central Methodist church
 on Sunday February 27.
