With Schumann Heink and "lntol- erance" to inaugurate the week and smart events including the Charity bah punctuaung the social calendar of the following days it would appear that members of the fashionable set had little time for other plans, but such is not the case. As a matter. of fact the amateur attractions are looming large just now and quietly the committees are selecting plays and players for these events the initial being the Passing Review of l9l6'' for the benefit of the Arizona Press club This will not be a strictly anna teur affair as nearly all the Audra Alden company will appear in vaude- vile numbers. The newspaper men who will take part in clever skit will be rehearsed by !. D. Glass. manager of the Alden players who will direct the entire performance. It will be given at the Elks theater on Friday evening
 The Country club has set February $ and as the date for its presenta- ton of a smart society drama which has not yet been selected. It is under stood that Mrs Anton Begere who made tremendous hit in Seven Days, when it was produced two years ago will be the leading woman ana the other members of the cast will be selected within few days.
 Stop Thief will be presented by the Woman's club at its clubhouse on February If with Lester Byron in the leading role Mrs. Daniel Francis and

 Quite the most interesting and sur prising bit of news in many q day is the announcement of the engagement of Miss Jennie Foster Weedin. daugh ter of the late Thomas F. Weedin to William Conrad Mills. It is under stood that the wedding will be an even of the very near future.
 The announcement is of more than passing note for the prominence of the attractive bride-elect and the leading musician of the state makes the approaching marriage of general interest.
 Miss Weedin is a native daughter of Arizona and one whose family name is known throughout the state. Her father was a pioneer who came to the state thirty-siX years ago He lived practically all of that time in Flor erce where he was owner and editor If the Blade Tribune He also had large mining interests in Pinal county but was never too deeply engaged i'll his personal affairs to overlook those of the state and stood behind every worthy progressive measure advanced by his party. He was d leader in democratic politics and at the time of his death was registrar of the land office. His wife was one of the first club women Of Arizona and served for long term as president of the Flor ence Improvement club. Their daugh- ter received her education in Tucson and Tempe being a graduate of the normal She taught in the public schools of this city for a season. Miss Needin while not claiming 10 be a musician has a charming voice which has afforded her friends muchs pleas ure and she also plays exceptionally well She has much charm of manner and is of the tall. slender attractive type of brunette

AMERICAN EMBASSY
 AT BERLIN IS BUSY

Berlin, Feb. 6, via London-The scene at the American embassy yes terday recalled the memorable days of August, 1914 Crowds of anxious Americans blocked the corridors and secretarial rooms seeking the renewal of passports and, above all, advice for their future course and in regard to the possible routes back to America The crowd was less numerous than in the days of, the outbreak of war, when the crisis involved a flood of tourists as well as the peace time American colony, but some hundreds of Arneri- cans are still in Berlin and they all appeared at the embassy.
 All embassy rules went by the board for the occasion. Several secretaries and attaches were stationed in the corridors to answer questions and the passport department worked at full speed extending and renewing pass ports without resorting to the hitherto prescribed reference td Washington. The crowds of American visitors was augmented by many Rumanian, Eng fish and other belligerent nationals whose interests have hitherto been in the hands of the United States repre- sentative and who were clamorously anxious for information

YARROWDALE'S SAILORS FREE,
 OFFICIAL SAYS

N L M if
 Washington, Feb. 6.Ofcial notice of the release by Germany of the 64 Americans held prisoner in Germany for having taken pay on board British armed merchantmen captured by the German sea raiders was received at the state department today in de- layed dispatch from Ambassador Ger ard. The prisoners were released, Germany claims, because at the time of their enlistment they did not know Germany had planned ito treat all armed ships as war vessels. This seems to indicate to officials here that Germany decided to treat such ves- sels as Swarships as far back as when the men taken into port by the Yar- rowdale took out their service papers in some eases several months ago.
 No details were given in the dis patch as to the method of release of the prisoners. 5. One of the last American acts be- fore the severance of relations with Germany was the demand for imme- diate release of these prisoners and a most energetic protest against their original detention. Ambassador Ger ards dispatch today announcing their release appears to have been sent be- fore he had requested his passports.

WORKERS GET TIME AND ONE HALF WHERE

Time and one-half is being paid Bridgeport factory workers in factor les where there is no agreement to pay such a scale, according to Secre- tary Mary Gould of the Corset Work ers' union.
 Girls in Warner Bros Go. shop. for instance, Secretary Gould said today, "are working three nights a week and they have been refused what is known as time and one-half. However, they received extra pay, which amounts to the same thing. and their supper Is paid for"
 This plan was approved at re- cent meeting of the Corset Workers union, called for discussion of the matter.

HONOR IN PUBLIC OFFICE.

LDERAN Joseph P onkey did the public service when from Mayor Wilson's messages, he drew the evil which characerizes the attempt to get from the General Assembly sanction for $6OOOO bonds Without asceraning he wishes and desires of citizens This Is what the Mayor said Aug 5 1912 special sage addressed to the Common Council

 The $6OOOOO0 which the mayor seeks the result of the wim of small coterie of citizens mainly the suit of the whim of single citizen whose position poli cal boss makes him successful in imposing whns others The desires ofthe people have not been ascertained This according to the mayors belief is "A wrong pro- cedure"
 Seldom has holding important public office been exhibited by the evidence of his own language such shabby position. Alderman Oney voiced the wish of the people. He speaks for that better mayor who such little time back demanded that he bonding of city and the projects for which the proceeds to be used should be first submitted to the people their approval dsapproya before asking theegaure to authorize the issue Of such bonds" What change?
