HayakaWa Last Time at Lamara

It is safe to assert that there has been no more pleasing comedy program offered in the city for many months than the Paramount version of Hash imura Togo" adapted from the famous Letters of a Japanese Schoolboy," by Wallace Irwin, in which the famous Sessue Haykawa essays the title role The picture is being shown for the last times at the Lamara today.
 Sessue Hayakawa has long been ad- judged one of the most versatile actors appearing before the camera but this is the first opportunity he has had to demonstrate his ability as comedian His former releases, while starring him in the character of almost every nation on earth, have all been along the more dramatic lines, but wiN the present vehicle, he sets at ease any doubt that may have arisen as to his ability as a laugh provoker The sub- titles, being taken from the original script, add ma terially 10 the humorous situations which are cleverly interwoven in the

MRS. bEALS |S WINNER AGAINST
 STREET RAILWAY

Damages in the sum of s5,O0O were awarded Miss Anna Beals, who brought suit against the Phoenix Railway com- pany as the result of an accident which occurred October 1916 in which she re- ceived serious injuries.
 The jury was out but a few min utes, the only matter on which they deliberated being the amount to which the plaintiff was entitled: She brought action for s10,00O.
 The chief witness for the defense was s. H. Mitchell, manager of the railway company, who claimed that the skirt that was the plaintiffs ex- hibit was not the one shown him when he called at her home some time after the accident. He took it upon himself to explain the differences between the two garments. His testimony had to do largely with Mrs. BeaFs wearing apparel.
 The plaintiff alleged she was in- jured on the Grand avenue car more than a year ago. She claimed that her skirt caught on the car which started before she had alighted, throwing her to the pavement. The skirt she said she wore at the time with a tear in the hem from the accident, was of fered as an exhibit.
 MT. Mitchell stated when he called at the house, after Sam Gregg had reported the accident, he was shown a different skirt. He testified that it bore the same color, but that the ma terial was different. He spoke of the surface of the cloth'' which did not resemble the skirt in the court. Fur thermore he said the tear ran upward and was three and half inches long, while the skirt introduced was torn in another fashion.
 MT. Mitchell stated that it is a rule of the company that every accident be reported and that no report was made of this incident. He said the car men had noted the fall after the passenger had alighted but that Mrs. Beals had gone on her way and that there were no indications that she had been hurt. The first he was advised of the acci- dent was a telephone call from Gregg some four and a half hours after Mrs. Beals and reached her home. Gregg had notified him that Mrs. Beals had 1 been injured and desired a physician. Mir. Mitchell said the first step he | took in the matter was calling on Mrs. Beals the following day.
 He was cross examined closely on the condition of car Is, the Grand Ave- nue car on which Mrs. Beals rode the day she received the injuries from which she claims not to have fully recovered. MT. Mitchell denied that the car was in a dilapidated condition, and stated that it had been used only 1C years. He said it had not been a secondhand car, though he did not know it's history. The cars are fre- quently brought into the barns and examined and the manager was not informed as to every time a nail was hammered down or a bolt frightened.

A letter from Bob Boardman, orm- orly physical director of the Y. M. c. A. in Phoenix, now engaged in r. M C. A. work in France, was received ester day by Governor Campbell. MT. il oard- man says that he will be witt the Y. M. C. A. in an aviation cam p. in charge of physical work. He rites that the French are a wonderful na- tion. Though they have been bled white. they have not yet been bletl dry. On every hand are seen womt in black; nearly all are in mournin, 3.

and property rights, freedom and slav- cry, justice and injustice will still face each other and grapple ip fierce strug- gle for supremacy until the millennium appears. Such story is told in the moving picture drama, The Spoilers" by Rex Beach at the Columbia theater today, matinee and night only. There are nine reels of swift developing drama. The characters are drawn from the every day life of Americans placed in circumstances which call forth the best and worst in human nature. The photography is excellent and the stag ing unsurpassed so far in the moving picture world. It is a great human story told of people with rich red blood in their veins facing supreme difficult ties and fighting with sublime or de- moniac fierceness as well as patience to maintain their position in the world old struggle for power.
 Tomorrow will be shown "The War; among the greatest set of pictures ever taken on the battle field of this great war, not a story or staged affair, but actual scenes never to be forgotten.

OSTR|CHESA ARE
 NUT VALUABLE;
 BRING S1O EACH

Two cases in as many days and in as many courts were won by the Phoenix Safety Investment company.
 The first suit was tried in Judge Lyman's court on Tuesday, when the court gave judgment for the plaintiff, who sued the Standard Furniture com pany and the Valley bank for $1,4OO. The second was the suit on note against Ferdinand Verwilghen, Paul Janssens and Leon Van Dorpe, who comprise the Belgo- American Ostrich company, in which Judge Stanford yes- terday found for the plaintiff in the amount asked, S7,100.
 The Phoenix Safety Investment com pany sold the ostrich farm to the Belgo-American company for S24,391.70 receiving approximately $19,000 in cash and taking a note for $6,350. After taking the ostriches in replevin the Ostirch company claimed the Invest ment company no longer had the right to recover. It developed that the 95 ostriches sold under the chattel brought but S960, which was deducted from the unpaid principal and interest on the notes.
 In the case in Judge Lyman's court of the Phoenix Safety Investment com pany versus the Standard Furniture company and the Valley bank the plaintiff and the defendant bank both claimed the right to rents of the furn- iture company. The Investment com pany, which purchased property on West Washington street, rented to the Standard Furniture company. and when it sought to collect the rent the company claimed that the rent was due the bank. The money in ques- ton was paid to the court until the matter was decided.
 The bank claimed prior right to the rents by an assignment made prior to the purchase. The assignment was never recorded, and while the invest ment company had deed. no refer ence was made in it relative to rents

DOUBLE TRACK
 ORDER OPPOSED

Prices of material and labor are too hiqh and the condition of the treasury is not such as to permit the double tracking of the line of the Phoenix street railway on West Washington street, according to the attorneys of the company, Chalmers, Kent and Stahl who appeared before the state corpor- ation commission yesterday in response to an order to show cause why such an improvement should not be made.
 That the city commission had grant ed the street railway company an ex- tension of three years in which to pave that portion of the street occupied by their tracks was also cited as an argu- ment by L. H. Chalmers, why the double tracking also should be delayed. The commission took the matter under adVisement.

No high school in the state with a cadet corps of less than 30 is eligible to receive training rifles from the state Tempe normal, with a cadet corps of SS, already has 100 of 80 caliber Springfield rifles, similar to the regular service rifle of a few years ago. None of the new train ing rifles will be issued to that school.
 The United States training rifle, such as will be issued to the schools of the state, is of the same size, weight, apNearance, shape and bal ance as the regular Springfield rifle, but it will not shoot. The rifle even may be loaded. but the barrel is a dummy one and the gun cannot be discharged
 The training rifle has front and rear sight, with graduated rear sight, and has bayonet stud so that bayonet can be used, although the rifles to be received by the state will not be provided with bayonet or scabbard.
 Bolt action makes it possible for the students to be trained in every thing in the manual of arms except that of firing. The training rifle is manufactured in New Jersey and costs $7 each. A regular Springfield rifle costs more than $2O. The train- ing rifles will be ordered at once so that the cadet corps may take up rifle drill Immediately after the holi- days. These rifles never have been used in this state.

ADJUSTMENTS
Man Trapp at the Hip

To those who recall Come Thru" the Man Trap" finishing a two days stay at the Hip this date, needs no in troduction. It brings again to the screen Herbert Rawlinson, the star of the first named picture in another sen sational fast moving melodrama, the kind that arouses and holds the pa tron's interest to the very climax. Three women yesterday came in to the theater about the middle of the pie ture and each had her own opinion eX pressed to the other of the outcome. the climax, the finish, and not one of the three guessed the trick that brings this startling picture to a close. No better recommendation could be advertised. It is a suspense picture and the plot is not obviously disclosed as in so many ordinary offerings. It is helped by the addition of a smart comedy from the Big V and Pathe News reel with the usual interest.
 "The Moth" for Sunday, is the big picture of the week to come and Friday and Saturday will see Earle Williams in ''The Grell Mystery" detective story of the sort he makes the most of before the camera.
 George Beban at the lamara
 George Beban, than whom there is no better known character actor in film dom. comes to the Empress today for a three days engagement, appearing in the Paramount feature, The Bond Between" There is , special interest attached to this offering from several angles. In the first place, the story is based upon actual facts as related to Mir Beban by his friends in the revenue service, which facts have been woven into very interesting drama by the capable MT. Beban.
 Then it is the first picture ever shown in the city wherein MT. Beban appears as a Frenchnian. All his for mer successes have been as an inter- preter of the Italian immigrant type and many are wont to believe this his only character. As matter of fact the French Representations were the first he ever essayed The picture was made under the personal supervision of MT. Beban. who chose the character he | essays from a man still living in the artists quarter of New York. As an added attraction. the Christie | comedy is being shown.
 "A Thief in the House. l "A Thief in The House. the smart musical conceit in two acts, is proving | to be Ed. Redmond's stellar attraction at the Elks theater this week. Ed Redmond appears in the funny role oi the mysterious stranger and Marvin Hammond has the character comedy role of the innocent slavey.

 The boys and girls of the training school. assisted by the larger pupils, have attempted a novel scheme to add to the funds of the Red Cross. They are making toys and they are clever to say the least. A sample of the toys may be seen in the window of the Brown Mercantile where orders for them may be left. The toys will consist of four sets "The Billy Goats Gruff," "The Three Bears" The Peter Rabbits ard The Santa Claus Jumping Jack" All the work is being done in the various depart ments of the school, the manual arts, and the art department. The com mercial department is typewriting the story of each which goes with the set, and the art department furnishes a neat cover for the stosy. They also made a number of advertising cards which are a credit to the toys. Miss Haulot is directing the work.
