Shows Life Aboard Our Super Dread
thoughts Stripped for Action.

Whether or not one cares for the
movies as represented by the dramatic
variety, everybody does care for Ly-
man Fl. Howe's Travel Festival be-
cause of it's distinction. dignity and
difference from posed films. Mr..
Howe's exhibition. which comes to the
Academy Thursday, Friday and Sat
urday and Saturday matinee can al
ways be depended upon to broaden
ones mental outlook. but his new
production promises to do SO In a
peculiarly vital and timely way. For
it conducts spectators aboard our
super dreadnoughts, stripped for ac-
ton somewhere in the Atlantic" and
gives every spectator a new and fresh
conception of the activities. discipline
and maneuvers of our ''sentinels of
the deep" under the stress of war.
The films radiate the atmosphere OF
grim realities, not of pomp or pagean-
try. and every foot teens with vital
interest 10 every true American. Then,
too, the L. s. Naval academy at AM
napolis, Md. contributes many stir
ring scenes from the strenuous and
varied training given the splendid
corps OF "middies," Their tactical ex-
ercises are of absorbing interest An
other feature breathes the spirit and
life of our great West as II has never
been depicted before. It shows the
many tense moments and hair raising
episodes occurring during real bron-
cho- breaking contests. 1t reveals what
the West considers rough riding as
compared with the comparatively
tame sort seen In the effete East.
There are many other subjects, such
as the perils of elm bling Mt. Blanc.
the highest mountain In the. Alps, a
ride over the continental divide via
the Great Northern railway, etc, that
make Howes new program an exrep-
tionally rich treasure trove of scenes
calculated to give mind and heart,
as Carlyle puts 1t. "a real stir-up.'

10000 SALOONS
MAY Be CLOSED
Brewers Said to Have Sug-
gesaed Move To Be Made
By Government.

London, March le.-Thirty thous-
and saloons in Great Britain will prob
ably be closed during the next few
months, according to the Mail. The
measure is proposed as a solution OF
the difficulty arising from the COM
|pulsOry restriction of the beer output
and the brewers are stated to be in
practical agreement with the govern
ment in regard to the remedy. The
closing of the saloons is said to have
been suggested by some of the brew
ers themselves. They contend there
were too many distributors, and that
2 third of them could be suppressed
without mountaineering the public,
while such step would enable the
liquor trade TO be coducted more eco
nomically. The arrangement seems
to be in brief a pooling agreement be-
tween the rival brewers who own the
public houses. The brewers have.

EDITORIAL COMMENT.
THE STRIKE.

Elisha Lee, chairman Of the Nation
al Conference Committee of the rail-
roads, made the following statement
1--WE have offered to leave to the
Goethals Eight-hour Commission re-
Gently appointed by the Presidentany
questions that may remain unsettled
by the decision of the Supreme Court
in the pending Adamson law case.
We regret that the leaders of the or
CARNATIONS have refused to accept
this effer and that they have notified
us that they have ordered a series of
strikes on the railroads Of the coun-
try beginning Saturday night at 6
o'clock. The ultimatum presented to
the railroads by the organizations was
that we must Immediately put into
effect their Interpretation of the law
now before the Supreme Court for a
determination Of its constitutionality
and meaning without waiting for the
decision Of the court. We declined
to accept this proposition, feeling that
we must await and abide by the iudg-
ment of the court, the Adamson law
to be constitutional and the two sides
cannot agree upon the application of
any of the points we will agree that
the Eight-hour Commission shall de-
rtermine how the law shall be applied.
iSecond-In case the law is declared
Unconstitutional we offer to join you
Sin asking the Eight-hour Commission
to determine the whole controversy,
any settlement arrived at to be effec'
tive January l, 1917. This offer fol-
a feasible adjustment was refused

FARLEY FINALLY ENDS IN HOPELESS DE
Progressive Walkout Will Extend to Every Road in the
Country Within Five Days---4OO,OOO Members Of
Four Brotherhoods are Affected by the Order

New York, Mar. 16.-A progress
sive strike" of the 100000 members
of the four great railroad brother
hoods, to begin at 6 o'clock Central
time) Saturday on Eastern roads, was
ordered here late yesterday.
The walkout will extend to all the
railroads in the country within five
days.
Chiefs of the workmen's organiza-
tons set the strike machinery in mo-
ton within few minutes after an ul-
timatum delivered to the conference
committee of railroad managers had
been rejected.
A compromise proposal offered by
the railroad managers was declined
without debate.
Only successful intervention by
President Wilson, it appeared, can
avert the strike.
The brotherhood leaders gave no IN
dication than even an appeal from the
nations chief executive can change
their purpose to obtain a basic eight
hour day and pro-rata time for over
time through the use OF the ''protec
tive feature" of their organizations

and in the great yards in Chicago and
st. Louis, will be the first to leave
their posts.
They will be followed on Sunday
by the same classes of workmen on
the Southern railway, the Norfork C
Western, the Virginian, Chesapeake
& Ohio and on group Of northwest
ern roads.
No formal outline OF the brother
hoods program, beyond the plans for
the two days was made either to the
managers or to the public. II was
said, however, that the freight en-
ployes on the other roads in the coun-
try will be called in groups at twelve
and twenty-four hour intervals after
Sunday. If the paralysis of freight
traffic thus caused does not result in
surrender by the railroads before that
time, the employees on all passenger
trains will be ordered out on Wednes
day.
The managers said tonight that they
expected enough of their men woulC
remain loyal to enable them to operat,
a skeleton service on most roads. Tn,
managers some time ago caused
census of their employees to be take
to determine how many would refus
togo on strike. This resulted, it wa
said in varying percentages, rangin
from very few on some roads I
from so to 60 per cent. on others.
The managers estimated that be
tween 10000 and 10000 men are EN-
ployed on the roads on which tn
strike is to begin Saturday night.

SIT is not altogether unlikely that the
Railroads are not altogether averse to
a-strike. They announce that enough
men will refuse to go out to keep
trains running and those who quit
forfeit pension privileges and other
Special advantages. Many old men
WILL lose out altogether and in the
end will be replaced by new and
younger men. Further than to APP
peal to the patriotism of the men, the
Rgfsident is not expected to act
and the matter will be allowed to
come to a showdown.

OPPOSED EMPEROR.
According to one unusually wsSy
informed diplomat, the Grand Duke
Michael Alexandrovitch, proclaimet
regent, had been a bitter persouak
antagonist of the emperor since tho
latter refused to recognize his rnar8
riage to divorce some years agOl
Moreover, the grand duke is said to
have opposed the emperor ON every
public question that has arisen.
END OF GERMAN INFLUENCE
The overthrow of the government
by the duma is interpreted here as
the elimination of efforts m a d q
throughout the war to rid the country
of the German influence. From the
first Russian military reversss, the
German press has been filed with
rumors and predictions of a separate
peace in Russia, worked out by those
in the autocracy who believed tkn1t
Russia's destiny lay with Germany
and not against her. These Fumors
have ebbed and flowed with the miIi-
tary situation, and some monthssagO,

as to the reconstruction of Poland

SPIRIT.
| When the now Overthrownministry
came into power with such pro- Ger
man sympathizers as StuTnep and
Protopopoff, the German press openly
exulted with the. prediction that at
last an understanding was; to- be
reached with Russia. The allied
countries on the other hand, seemed
more apprehensive than at any pre-
vious time, and repeated reassmsncss
by Russian statesmen failed to dispeI
doubts as to what was going ON be-
hind the veil of secrecy.

Sales on the loose floors this week
again ran near the million point with
slight falling off in the general av-

low grades offered, as prices ruled
strong as ever on all offerings. The
high prices have set the farmers wild

"St. Patrick S Day in the morning.
Arizona republican., 1917-05-21

For seven innings yesterday alter noon. Hegi and the newly organized Phoenix team staged a pretty baseball game on the Polk street diamond but in the eighth frame, some four or i've other men who were wearing Mesa unl- forms decided to give the little short stop some assistance As result Mesa walked off with the game by count of to ?
 Now this particular game might have been a whole lot more interesting and a good deal closer if the Mesa manage ment had not decided to draft Hegi from the wilds of Tempe enroute to this city. Don't remember of meeting any body that was particularly in favor of having the diminutive speedster on the opposing side. When he wasn't getting hits. or stealing bases or getting hit by pitched balls or generally upSetting the defensive plans of the home guard, he was actually stealing base hits from To- cal clubbers Not that he wasn't with in his rights in so doing, but he nipped several threatening Phoenix rallies in the bud. We can clearly see now why Tempe high walked off with state base ball hOnOrs.
 Hegi is a classy ball player, of that there is no question ~ Some fans had their doubts, as to this, but after watching him perform in yesterdays game they were quickly dispelled.
 Outside of some terrible baseball, Phoenix played a good game, but then outside of the red parts a beet is all white There were times at that when some of the players actually acquitted themselves in a manner that would have led the unsuspecting watchers to believe that they had at some previous times in their lives had on ball uni forms. Don't remember just what part of the game it was, though.
 For seven innings, as previously stated. the game was half way interest ing. This was due to the fact that Phoenix had handed the visitors three
