Gives City Name
 But Not Street
 He Will Live On

One of the valued subscribers of The Republican has left a change of address. He is C. H. Reaksecker formerly of AIhambra but at present at an eastern military camp. He writes, requesting temporary ces- sation of his paper saying, "l am off for overseas duty. No more time to read till we get to Berlin"
 If MT. Reaksecser had informed the circulation department of his Berlin address the paper would be sent to it, but as that has not been given, it is necessary to await more specific direction from MT. Reak- seeker. The circulation department has discovered that Berlin is quite a town and that a paper sent there to the general delivery might not reach the addressee.
 Even if the circulation depart ment knew on what street MT. Reak- seeker would likely take lodging it might forward the paper and trust to the mail carrier to look him up. But there are several streets in Der lin, for instance, Unter der Linden, Freidrichstrasse, Leipzigerstrasse, Potsdamerstrasse, K n i g asse, Wilherstrasse and a whole lots of smaller strasses or strassen.
 So the paper will not be sent until the specific Berlin address of MT. Reaksecher has been received. insur ing the delivery of the paper into his hands. The Republican prints lot of stuff that it would not like to have fall into the hands of certain residents of Berlin who are there now, some of them living, or doing business on WilheImstrasse.

Republican A. p. Leased Wlrel

WASHINGTON, Feb. 20.-Prelimin- ary steps in the department of justices inquiry into expenditures of govern ment funds for the shipbuilding plant at Hog Island, Pa. were taken today by G. Carroll Todd, assistant to the attorney general. He inspected records of the emergency fleet corporation re- lating to contracts with the American International Corporation for con- structing the plant, and conferred with Chairman Fletcher of the Senate com merce committee.
 Senator Fletcher was requested to aid the department of justice by sub- mission of any suggestions deemed pertinent.
 Witnesses before the senate com- mittee today included Rube Allyn. a dock builder representing unorganized workers at Hog Island, and Albert Freedman, formerly employed in the stores department of the yard. Allyn predicted that it would be necessary to conscript labor before the war ended, and told the committee German speak, ing laborers were responsible for false stories of accidents at the Hog Island yard designed to keep workmen away.
 Freeman, who said he was dis charged when he told his superintend- ent he was going to Washington to give voluntary testimony before the senate committee. described alleged in- efficiency and lax methods at the yard and said a number of employees were dismissed after the senate investiga- ton started, but the high salaried men were retained. He declared that but tons for admission of workmen to the yards were sold in Philadelphia saloons

the news that seemed to indicate the escape Of the murderers. After hav- ing stolen three sets of horses it was Iound that they had abandoned the last horses with their saddles. This equipment was found near the peak of one Of the highest elevations in the mountains. But no blankets were found. There were strings and strips Of blankets scattered around showing that the outlaws had tied. the blankets about their feet so to hide their trail. That was done so successfully that not the slightest trace of them seemed to lead away from the spot. The point at which the saddles were found in- dicated that the fugitives had been making use of high-power glass which they had taken from the dead body of Sheriff Mcbride, and that they had been keeping a close watch on the movement of their pursuers.
 The saddles were found a week ago yesterday and the point where they were left was about forty miles from the Mexican line. Apache trailers at San Carlos were sent for and they ar- rived on Tuesday night of this week. But that night a twenty four hour rain and snow storm set in obliterating everything and making progress in the
 mountains almost impossible By this
 time, too the murderers had had time to reach the end of the chain of noun
 tains which run into Mexica, dwindle into foothills and finally disappear upon a desert plain.

 said that, the importance of the enter prise has not been appreciated. It means that 75,000 acres will be re- claimed, an area almost one-third as large as the area signed up under the Salt River project There are TOO hold CTS of land in the Paradise valley and when their holdings have been watered there will be added to the taxable wealth of this county, s20,000,000.
 In another way, said Mir. Lively. the enterprise will benefit the county. It will remove the annual menace of Cave Creek for one of the canals of the as sociation will run across that cratic waterway which will then have to be held in check. He said further that the engineering work had been, checked up by government engineers and it had been ascertained that when the stor- age capacity had been filled there will be ten and a half acre feet of water for every acre under the project. That would be sufficient to supply the land for two years.

Rodeo is a whisky town, one of the supply points of Arizona bootleggers.

 Sheriff Hall was put in control of the situation on that side of the Chirl- cahuas and he stationed men at every canyon leading from the mountains and with MT.

"The Whip at Columbia

One of the most notable moving pie lures ever made, "The Whip" is the big feature at the Columbia for the last time today. "The Whip" with not one star, but six; with not only one sen sational scene, but scores of them. Pro- duced on the most lavish scale imagin- able-a train wreck staged for the pur- pose of securing one scene alone cost $25,000-this tremendous production marks a new epoch in the history of the silent drama. The motion picture has been elaborated from the gigantic stage pro1ucte::c.. which -an at the prury Lane theater in London for three years and in New York city for two years
 The stage play also had a two-year run in Australia and was translated into other languages than the English and was played with huge success in Eu- rope. The motion picture offering as it does much greater possibilities for scenic effects than the stage could pos sibly do. is a really wonderful offer ing. It is an attraction of the highest possible merit and entertaining abii- ties and it has been well named the greatest motion picture in the world

Double Bill at the Hip

At the Hip today and tomorrow the management is presenting a double show. Ethel Clayton is featured in smart society story The Woman Be- heath" This is the special picture and is said to be a smashing tale of a woman who just would not be forced to the bottom by reason of one mistake Miss Clayton is happily cast as the woman" and gives her art it IS said to one of the best creations of her career. With the feature is offered O. Henry's One Dollars Worth To those who recall the gifted writer's works this story will be remembered for it's won- derful ending. The Mexican lover is arrested for counterfeit passing and the lead dollar, is the evidence which the judge pockets, for he too is a lover, and, later in the day, when he and his sweetheart are attacked by the "MeXi- can Rattlesnake Pete" the lead dollar cut up into slugs ends the career of the bandit when the judge shoots it from his shotgun. "One Dollars Worth" is a picture that will be remembered after many so-called specials ahve been rele- gated to the scrap heap. The double bill is augmented by a News weekly today.

WOMAN |S ACTING
 STATE SECRETARY
 FUR SECOND TIME

For the second time in the history of Arizona a woman is acting as secre- tary of state.
 That honor for today and tomorrow falls upon Miss Harriet Jean Oliver and is occasioned by the absence from the s.ate of both Governoro Hunt and Secretary of State Sidney F Osborn who left Phoenix last night for Camp Kearney, California, to witness the re- view of the fortieth division in camp there which takes place this afternoon.
 According to the laws of Arizona, in the absence from the state of the gov ernor, the duties of the chief executive technically fall upon the secretary or state, and in his absence, upon the as Sistant secretary of state.
 R. E. McGillen, assistant secretary of state, therefore becomes governor for today and tomorrow, and the office of secretary of state for that length of time is left in charge of the next in line in that office and who happens to be Miss Oliver.
 Once before, the governor and sec retary of state were out of the state at the same time, and the office of secre- tary of state was filled by Miss Johnny Shivers, now Mrs. Fred Norton whose husband is at present at Camp Funston with the national army.

Dorothy Dalton at the Lamara

Dorothy Dalton, who scored such tremendous hit recently in "The Flame of the Yukon" is agaln in the city, and Will be the attraction at the Lamara for today and tomorrow, appearing in "The Price Mark" a Paramount picture pro- duced under the personal direction and supervision of the world renowned Thomas H. Ince. It is a sensational love story, built on a decidedly novel plot, which is framed in the atmosphere of New Yorks Latin quarter and of fers this charming star in the role of an artist model. "The eternal triangle is again brought into play, but in manner that will prove distinct sur prise. Dorothy Dalton has already made her mark as a versatile artiste and 1t is said that this picture gives her even wider scope than her former subject, as it calls for the most intense dramatic ability for the correct han ding of many of the scenes during which the audience is held in breath less suspense.
 on the same program Mack Sennett is offering another of his famous com edies, His Hidden Purpose" which stars funny Chester Conklin.

MURDERS HAVE ESCAPED BELIEF
 IF JET ADAMS
Former Sheriff Says That
 Everything Humanly Pos sible Was Done to Get the
 Powers Men and Sisson

The Powers brothers and Tom Sisson the murderers of Sheriff McBride and two other officers of Graham county have probably made their escape out of the net laid for them by the posses in Cochise county. That is the belief of former Sheriff Jess Adams of this county who has returned from the chase. It was the greatest man-hunt said Mir. Adams, that had ever taken place in this country and the greatest credit is due the officers and men who have taken part in it, for the priva- tions they endured were terrific. That the hunt has apparently ended in fail- ure is due to difficulties that could not be overcome. Sheriff Harry Wheeler has had the direction of it and he has done all that was humanly possible to do.
 Mr. Adams said that it was at the suggestion of Sheriff Hall of Pinal county that he went to Florence It was the belief of Sheriff Hall that the outlaws would try to make their escape through the Silver King country in Pinal county After the arrival of MT. Adams at Florence messages were re- ceived almost hourly from posses and when it was indicated that the flight was directly southward, Sheriff Hall. Mir. Adams and Policeman Strathy of Phoenix left for Douglas. From there they went to the Slaughter ranch at san Bernardino near which it was thought the outlaws would try to break into Mexico. John II. Slaughter, him. self an old manhunter but now inca pacitated said that he had been in communication with the MeXicans on the other side of the line and he had told them of the great rewards that would be offered for the capture of the fugitives. He believed that they would sooner or later be taken there.
 The posse went to the Mcdonald ranch twelve miles farther east and after day there they joined the throne that was moving into the Chiricahuas for it was learned that the murderers who had been in the Huachucas had turned in that direction. They had evi- dently found that the border anywhere near Douglas was too closely guarded From that time every trail of the fugi-

Problem Play at EIks Today

Howard Mckent Barnes, a brilliant young dramatist, is the author of a new drama of discussion, called Her Un- born Child" the plot of which deals with the subject of birth control. With out any effort toward sensationalism this young dramatist has taken one of the questions of the hour and written a big drama of thrills and tears that is said to have powerful punch in it.
 In Her Unborn Child Mir. Barnes tells a human interest story, dramatic and appealing, that is a powerful in- dictment of those supposed advanced persons who are seeking to advance the theory of birth control. His play tells the truth about birth control and shows the cause and effect of the world s most serious crime.
 A youthful pair of lovers who, blind ed by the impetuosity of romance, love not wisely but too well, are the central figures of Her Unborn Child" It is around this pair that MT. Barnes has woven a story that cannot help but point a moral to those who witness his play
 Because of the subject that Her Un- born Child" deals with, no one under eighteen years of age will be admitted to witness the performance. Out of
