Emmy WehIan at the Empress

Louis Joseph Vances popular novel, Nobody" was selected as the vehicle to star exquisite Emmy Wehlen in Metros play, The Outsider" which opens today at the Empress. The story offers peculiarly suitable material for a photOdrama, containing as it does goodly amount of live, romance, mys tery and intrigue. Miss Wehlen ap- pears as a girl who. through a course of unusual circumstances, becomes g witness to shady transaction, which is being negotiated in the hopes of obtaining as insurance premium. As consideration for her silence, she is taken to Newport and there presented to society. The adventure which was primarily responsible for her coming out" again takes tangible form, and she becomes the center of a series of accusing circumstances, eliminating in her being formally charged with theft. The drama becomes one Of breathless suspense as the audience follows the girl in her brave fight to establish her innocense and insure her happiness.
 A great many of the scenes were taken at night at the famous Pembroke estate on Long Island. one of the most famous show places" in the United States.

MAN AND WIFE DETAINED FUR
 ALLEGED ACTS
Followed Across Several
 States, Well Appearing
 People Are Placed in Gus
 tody in Maricopa Jail

After being followed across country through some dozen states, Mir. and Mrs Elmo Nicholson, charged with de- frauding banks. was taken Into cus- tt day last evening by Deputy Sheriff Harry De Winton.
 They were taken into custody at their apartments Ut ti Q St. Francis, where they have been established since taking up their residence i'll town from Desert Inn, where they were registered in November, when they first reached this city.
 They were arrested on advices from Sheriff J. T. Collins of Mississippi county Arkansas, who in his wire to the sheriffs office stated that the man and his wife were both wanted. The local officers were advised to take charge of all jewelry and money on their person. Officers from Ar kansas are now enroute for Phoenix armed with requisition popers.
 It is alleged that the Nicholsons through worthless notes and mortgages defrauded banks in Blythville. Ark, and St. Charles. La. 10 the amount of Slo,000. or more. When arrested they are said tn have admitted to the officers that they were the parties wanted in the south.
 Nicholson, it is understood, is the owner of a rice plantation in Arkan- sas. He is a man of 36 years and has the appearance of a well-to-do busi- ness man and club man. His wife, who is 23, is a woman of apparent re- finement. They both took the arrest quietly, strolling into their cells in the county jail with the same air they might employ in registering at an un- known hotel They had a very small amount of money on their persons but had a quantity of jewelry of value
 J. W. Buchanan of the Burns De- tective agency who has been working on the case for some time, arrived ir Phoenix Saturday, having trailed the Nicholsons through Arkansas, Missis- sippi, Louisiana and Florida He f. nally located the wanted couple in this city and with the cooperation Of the Sheriff's office placed them behind the bars to await tho arrival of the south ern officers. Buchanan, who was de- tailed on the case which appears tC he even of greater importance thar the authorities would admit, is the assistant manager of the Burns office in Los Angeles, representing the American Bankers association.

"The Desire of The Moth" is unquestionably among the fastest and best directed western pie lures to be made this fall. It is a splendid story different from the usual western in that it has a reason. The Moth" who is a young eastern tender foot, runs amuck and tries to be a bad gun man and only the coming of a real two gun man prevents him from going to the dogs. Of course there is a good love story added and the whole with the Current Events News reel supplies the picture dish for the Hip patrons.

 Concerning an inference in the edi- torial that the street railway company was halting the march of progress in the city, MT.

Pauline Frederick at lamara


 That a weak character may be strengthened by long association with 8 stronger one is wonderfully demon- strated by Pauline F'rederick in her latest Paramount success, Double Crossed" which is the attraction at the Lamara. This famous star appears in the role of the wife of a rising young broker. At a society event she over hears two men talking, and recognizing one as her husband she plays the caves dropper. learning for the first time that the man she has grown to love with all her strength has been guilty of a theft. She is relieved, however, when she learns that the crime" mas only been trivial one, committed in boyhood and that the object of the visitor is to blackmail the husband by threatening to make public an alleged confession As a price of his silence, he demands that the husband commute greater crime. The wife's love goes out to her husband when she hears him say that he would rather commit the proposed theft than have his wife learn of his youthful error, and she determines to stake her wits against the strength and power of the visitor.

HUGH MARSHALL
 TELLS IT NEED
 IF THR|F I WORK
Phoenix Member of National
 War Savings Committee
 Says All Must Help if Arizona Is to Do It's Bit

Hugh b. Marshall who has returned to Phoenix for few days, in connec- ton with his duties as a member of ;hc National War Savings committee, talked interestingly yesterday regard inG the patriotic duties of individuals and business men during the war period. He said:
 The campaign for war savings in Arizona is going to prove the greatest test of our citizenship that has yet been made. Because of the legal limi tation placed upon the holdings of any one individual making it possible for him to own only Sl000 worth of war savings certificates, it will be neces- Sary for every man, woman and child in Arizona to do his or her part in order to reach the quota of $5,250, 000.
 Fortunately we have in this country the example of England to go by, and we no longer think that it is necessary t0 try to do business as usual Their experience shows that this was abso- utely impossible. With more than a million men taken out of active pro- 1uctive employment and made the greatest consumers in the world, in- dustrial machinery is not capable of turning out enough for business as Usual and to meet the demands or our own armies and our allies.
 The individual now understands that he cannot go on consuming as he has in the past regardless of his own financial ability to do so. It is unpa . triotic to place ourselves in competi- lion with the government for the things which it must of necessity have if this war is to be waged to a sue ccssful conclusion, and we must elim- mate from our buying the things un- necessary to our health and efficiency. By so doing we release to the govern ment the material and the labor nec- cssary to produce such things, and by investing what we have saved thereby in war savings stamps, we place in the hands of the government the power to puahase the very labor and material which we have released.
 The campaign for thrift and econ- nmy is meeting no opposition from the business interests of the country, be- cause they realize that all good busi- ness is based on intelligent economy The large merchants and business mer in the east are spending large amounts If money advertising war savings stamps, on the principle that it is go- ing to help rather than hurt business

MI |TCHE[L SAYS HIS POSITION |S
 MISUNDERSTOOD
Railway Superintendent Is Grieved That Public Did Not Grasp Proposition He Put Up to the City

Superintendent $. H. Mitchell, of the Phoenix Street Railway company yes terday referring to a recent editorial Tn The Republican, relative to the pav- Ing Of Grand avenue and the abandon ment of the railway line on that thor ouShfare, said that he had been misun- derStoOd as to his communication to the city commission. In that commun- ication, MT. Mitchell, said he had refer ence only to the paving on Seventh av- enue, from Washington to Five Points and one block on Van Buren street. when he suggested postponement of the improvement until a more favor able time for construction.
 He did not have Grand avenue in mind for it had been assumed by him that that would be paved; he regarded that as a settled matter Nor. said MT. Mitchell, had the Sherman interests which own property on the avenue of such an extent that the assessment against it for the paving will be $3,5OO. protested against the paving.
 In advising the postponement of the improvement of Seventh avenue. Mr. Mitchell said that he had only sug- gested a course that has been followed in many cities and one that had been recommended by President Wilson when he had advised that in order that war preparations might not be hamp- cred, only such enterprises as were necessary to be carried on should be undertaken during the period of the war
 Said MT. Mitchell: Every article that enters into the construction of street railways has risen in price to all most prohibitive figures and some of this material can be obtained only with great difficulty, if at all, just now. The price of rails has risen 400 per cent. cannot buy second hanc rails now for less than s100 a ton. I do n6 believe that they cah be obtained at all in the west. I have had requests from Je-

Second or Fifth should have been paved, nor why Seventh avenue rather than Fifth or Sixth or Fourth should be improved. So it appears that the way
 MT. Mitchell did not however, pre- tend to be paving enthusiast. He could only suggest that the city had chosen to pave those streets because the railway company would have to pay for 21 feet of the paving.
 As to the Fourth street paving, Mir. Mitchell said that when that line was built, the company could not get an of ficial grade. The expense of bringing the tracks to grade now would be not less than 5000.

The driver of a Phoenix Flour Mill truck yesterday ascertained by prac- tical experience that the architecture of the bridges which span the canals in the city is not uniform; that at the ends where the side walks are. they are not as strongly built as in the roadway, presumably for the req son that the traffice at that part of the bridges is not apt to be as heavy
 The driver with truck and trailer was about to cross the bridge at Five Points and seeing an obstruction started across the end of the bridge which promptly gave way, dropping both vehicles into the canal.
