ALARMS TO RING
 FUR FIRE FORCE

There will be more fire alarms rung in tomorrow evening than ever before fin the history of Phoenix. Practically every box from No. 15 to No. 49 will be counted. More firemen, paid and volunteer, will answer each call than have ever responded in days gone by. Because of this liberal response there will he little or no loss despite the fact that none will be false alarms
 It will be like this:
 The annual ball of the Phoenix Fire Department will be held tomorrow evening at Patricks hall The pro- ceeds of this event will be devoted to the purchase of either sweaters and other wearing apparel for the boys of the Battleship Arizona. or for the pur- -hase of the yarn with which these Articles may be knitted Something out lf the ordinary for this annual ball has been promised by the committee on ar engagements. The out-o the ordinary feature will be the ringing in of an llarm from different boxes as an an- nouncement of each succeeding number on the dance program. If box 15 is rung in Patrick hall it will mean that the grand march is on. If box Is is
  SO on. This is the first time in the history of the Phoenix Fire Depart ment that this feature of announcing the various numbers has been en- ployed.
 The committee on tickets has already begun it's work and the first day or two has shown a wonderful demand for the tickets. In many instances business houses have taken from $25 to $50 worth of the tickets. It is believed substantial sum will be realized from the ball

Miss Bara on
 Female Suffrage.

Miss Theda Bara, Fox star, has very great doubts as to the wis dom of universal suffrage by amend ment to the constitution. She says she has never studied the subject as thoroughly as it deserves, therefore cannot form just opinion about it. She does not question the fact that women are as capable as men in doing a great many things, but whether they can exercise the same degree of wisdom in casting the bal lot is to be determined She is firm h the conviction that women will have the right to vote in ma jority of the states within the next few years.
 She is satisfied of one thing-that if women do achieve the right to vote everywhere they will have a wholesome Influence upon political campaigns aRda elctions throughout the United States As every state has the right to govern itself, it seems to Miss Bara that the proper way would be to acquire the right of suffrage from the states and not from the general government.

number of real Chinese men and women in some of the scenes of the stupendous Metro serial, "The Great Secret" another episode of which will be seen tonight at the Coliseum. All Of them are un- usually bright and intelligent and have had previous stage experi- ence
 Prominent among the Orientals is Helen Long-her real name, too whom all the performers and studio help call just the sweetest little thing" The attention of Director Cabanne was first drawn to her by her pronounced English accent. She used the broad A of Piccadilly with ease and abandon. Her language, too, was appropriate.
 Born in China?' queried the di- rector.
 'I should jolly well say not, :" replied Miss Long, showing an ex- pansive Chinese smile. 'I was jolly well born under the English flag and talk the linigo quite bit. My birthplace is the British West In- dies, but awfter all is said l should like to be an American, don't y know
 Every one at the studio delights to talk to her She is also the one to whom the other Chinese go when they want suggestions on anything pertaining to costumes, etc. To quote herself: If any of them want anything they go to Helen Long for it."

Garbed in faultless evening dress, John l.. Sullivan and l boxed four round exhibition bout in San Fran
 As is the rule in exhibition con tests, neither of us had seconds in our corners and the affair was lit tie more than a fairly vigorous spar ring match But when the first. call of time came and I walked out from my corner and squared off with John L., my boyhood idol, as my foe, a queer feeling came over me.
 It seemed strange strange in deed-that l should be pitted against the man that I had considered the king of pugilism; the unbeatable champion. Of course, the bout was us uncovered much of our real abil- ity. But just the same. l wanted Go show my friends in San Francisco that John l.. had no terrors for me. And I guess the big fellow, realizing that I had acquired a sizable follow ing in San Francisco, decided that it might be worth while to unlimber bit and tame me with some of his famed savage glances and few of his right-hand jolts.
 During the first round both of us spared cautiously and only did some light tapping Yet, I followed every move of John L., compared his style of fighting with my own, studied his every ring trick and when the first round was over I went beck to my corner and something within me al most shrieked:
 you are that mans master"
 Such feeling seemed for a mo-

ment a traitorous one. Not until that very second had it ever oc- cured to me that I could whip John L. Never had such a thought been mine; never had l even aspired to battle John L., to a finish. The height of my ambition up to that night had been merely to rank second to John L., to become heir apparent to his throne and succeed him only through his retirement. But all through that minute or rest between the first and second rounds some thing within kept saying:
 Jim, try to get match with him; ; try hard you can beat him surei'
 Through the second. the third and the fourth rounds I continued to stu dy John l.. as a pugilist; l matched my footwork with his and felt that l had much on him in speed. In the way that made him famous, John l.. frequently rushed me and always was able to get out of the way without much trouble. Each new minute of our sparring increased the confidence that was born that night that if John l.. ever gave me a chance at the title I would be the next heavyweight champion of the world.
 Immediately that the fourth round was over and went back to my corner Billy Delaney, my trainer jumped up and in voice trembling with excitement, said:
 "Jim-Jim, you showed him ups If he ever gives you a chance over the distance route you've got him."
 Delaney's statements echoed my own And l whispered down to him.

''The Innocent Sinner" Is Strong Production.

"The Innocent Sinner" which R. A. Walsh, produced for William Fox, was shown at the Palace theatre is fine picture with big educa- tional story and has been appreci- ated by those who have seen it. It leaves fathers, mothers, daughters, sons better and stronger for having seen it.
 It brings up a big question for n man to answer Would you, a conscientious, God-fearing man, mar ry a girl who had indirectly caused the death of your friend and brought his mother to her grave prematurely? Don't speak too quickly because when you know all the circumstances maybe you would, and love her twice as much more than you would if she had had no connection with your friends fam fly.
 Dr. David Graham Charles Clary) does and Mary Ellen (Miriam Coop er) appreciates his love. She had been so innocent that she had be- lieved the glib promises of the doc tors friend and left her home in the country for him. Murder caus- es her to awaken to the horror of wrong liying-shows her the pleas ure of living right, and she con quers and is happy in the end.
 The story is well told and the scenic effect is of the same high class that made Mir Walshs pie ture "The Honor System" so won derful.
