Until late years the repression Of

of every japanese child of the better

in literature, on the stage and in the

HEARTS OR DIAMONDS"
 AT LYRIC THEATER

Lawrence Hanrahan, wealthy youns New York diamond broker. attracted by a wonderful diamond necklace worn by a beautiful girl in a Broad way restaurant, bribes the waiter for information and scrapes an acquaint- ance with the girl and her elderly guardian by driving off thugs, who apparently are trying to rob them.
 Colonel" Paul Gascoyne makes himself known as the inventor of a system of making diamonds by the re- tort plan for less than half the cost of genuine stones. He poses as the guardian and relative of beautiful Adrienne, Gascoyne, who lives with him in the mysterious house, in which the diamond retorts he boasts of are watched over by a supposedly deaf mute scientist.
 The whole combination proves to be carefully laid game of interna- tional crooks to get possession of the Hanrahan diamond collection, one of the most valuable in the world. The shrewdness and bravery of the young broker prove potent to outwit the crooks, but before he gets back his diamonds and discovers that pretty Adrienne, whom he has feared was a thief, is really a victim of the gang young MT. Hanrahan experiences some of the hardest fights of his advenrur ous career.

NEW MEMBER NAMED
 FOR DEFENSE COUNCIL

Governor Hunt has announced the appointment of Dr. V. NJ. Slipher of Flagstaff as the representative of Co., conino county on the state council of defense. pr. Slipher will replace David Babbitt, who was named by Governor Hunt and approved by the board of su- pervisors, but who asked to be reliev- ed on account of the condition of his health. Dr. Slipher is director of the Lowell observatory at Flagstaff.
 No announcement was made of an- other selection for Greenlee county. two of the governors nominees for this county having failed of cOnfirma- ton by the board of supervisors. The nomination of Senator Roberts as the representative for this county has not yet been confirmed, the supervisors not having been in session since the nomination was made.
 The Copper Era of Clifton. has the following to say concerning the vacan- cy existing in Greenlee county:
 Since the rejection of Governor Hunts second nomination as Green lees representative on the state coun- cil of defense there has been no indica- ton that the executive intends to sub init anOthr name Up to the present no one seems to be losing any sleep over the failure of the governor to name an acceptable representative. So far as the public sentiment of Green lee can be ascertained. all seem to be well satisfied to remain without repre- sentation on the board. and certainly will approve of the board of supe-- visors' rejection of all appointees un- less they are men who can secure the cooperation of the entire citizenship, and be the choice of a large per cent of the population of the county"

COUNTY SOLDIER VOTE WILL NOT AMOUNT
 TO MUCH
Only Twenty Addresses Furn- ished County Recorder and Sixteen of These Are Now Overseas

Today is the last day on which ad- dresses of soldier voters may be giv- en to County Recorder Ray B. Krebs with any assurance that they viii re ceive a ballot 'on which to vote in the general election this fall.
 Although the recorder is making strenuous efforts to secure the army addresses of Cochise county soldiers and the navy addresses of the Cochise county boys in the navy, but twenty names had been secured and sixteen of these were in France with no chance of their receiving a ballot to vote at all These names, however, will be turned over to the clerk of the board of supervisors today with such others as may be filed today so that they can be furnished by the board with ballot on which to vote for their choice in the primary election. Chief Clerk Hutchinson of the recorders of flee stated over the phone last even ing that his office also intended to furnish the board with a list of the men that were sent to the different camps with the addresses of those cdHlpS ana IT was up Au thS oooi" t' do as they pleased in the matter. It is a known fact. however, that the ma iority of the men that were sent to the various camps in the past eighteen months are not at those places now and in. fact the larger portion that were at Camp Funston are now in France. so that there will be no chance of reaching them.

 Dies On Coast

James l.. Silverthorn, for the past eighteen years advertising manager and window dresser for the Fair Store in this city, died yesterday afternoon in Los Angeles where he went for the benefit of his health about two months ago. He has been in poor health for nearly a year past and has been able to work but a small portion of that time. He came to the district about eighteen years ago. He leaves a wife who was with him at the time of his death and a step-son.
 He was about 70 years of age and was a man or excellent character and was a favorite with all who knew him. He was of a iovial disposition at all times. although he was suffering from disease that finally caused his death.
 The body will be brought here for burial and the funeral services will be held under the auspices of the B. P. O.. Flks Of which lodge he was a member. Up until late hour last evening no word had been received from Mrs. Silverthorn when she would arrive with the body It is expected that the body will arrive here Sunday noon as it co-ld be shipped from there this afternoon and arrive here tomorrow. Announcement Of the funeral services will be made in these columns as soon as they are complete.

 According to a COchise county leg islator, members of that body did not expect that a soldier suffrage law would prove to be effective. owing to the difficulties in polling the soldier vote. but it was done more in a spirit of consideration for the citizen-soldier in service.
 One Bisbee lawyer professes to be- lieve that the law and the voting plan set up by it will prove to have been a fruitful source of election contests and, viewing the matter from litiga- tory standpoint. he believes any pres ent officer could retain possession of his office were he minded to try it. by taking advantage of the openings which the situation will supply.
