Price of Good Time a+ Hin

Price of a Good Time" at Hip
 One hundred per cent entertain ment, is the way every patron who saw Lois Weber's "The Price of Good Time" yesterday at the Hip described it. The manager says that SO many people stopped coming out to tell the ticket taker and the girl ih the window how much they en- joyed the picture, that the lobby of the little house looked at all times like reception was being held.
 The appeal in this picture is the fact that it might have happened in any city in the world. How many girls slaving at dry goods counter have longed just for "one good time" The good time is defined by a lot of angels, but the slave girl has always wanted to enjoy the mythical good time, and this one has six days of what the man tells her is sup posed to be a good time and then comes the smashing dramatic pun ishment that makes this picture al- most classic.

Turner has trans ferred his entire property, worth several thousand dollars, to his for. mer wife, Nevada Turner who se- cured a divorce from her husband on the ground of cruelty. When the court ordered a division of the prop erty, Turner protested that there could be "no division between man and wife" He declared that if his wife were entitled to one dollar she was entitled to all and in support of his allegation quoted the bible to the court. The division of the estate was set for 3 o'clock Saturday after noon at which time Turner failed to put in appearance, and the matter was settled without him. Yesterday he deeded all the property held in his name to Mrs. Nevada Turner the following statement of the fact hay ing been made by his attorney:

What could be more ironical, more painfully aggravatins to detachment of German troops than to know that Rosie O. Grady has dropped a bomb into the trench they may have in habited, especially when the kaiser is said to have at one time counted on Irish aid-this being in that recent dark period of turmoil and strife in Erin's Isle.
 Rosie O'Grady is not a colleen, nei- ther is he the subject upon which that immortal and heart appealing ballad, Sweet Rosie C'Grady," was written, nor fictitious character. He is 8 Phoenix boy who has enlisted in the aviation corps.

partment of the interior to construct in all, six dams, when the sale of electric power and the scope of the lines to be installed are sufficient.
 Considerable work in the way of plans, reports and surveys, has been done by those who are backing the project, according to MT. Girand, who says also, that the only automobile road leading down into the Grand Canyon of the Colorado, enters at the point where the camp is located. Drilling and other work, preparatory to the erecting of the big concrete dam, where the water power will be developed has already been done, be no irrigation in connection with the development of electric power Some little time and difficulty was experienced by the projectors of the scheme but most of this has beel. transacted, though some other less important government action, ex- pected daily, will expedite the work, it is said.
 The plan embraces the electrifica- tion of the Santa Fe railroad in that section. It is said that condi- tions in this stretch of the Santa Fe lines are peculiarly adapted to the use of electric power. This in addition to the system of e-gen- erating braking, now applied on some electric lines, will make pos sible tremendous saving iii electric energy it is asserted.

TROOP QUESTION
 UPTOGOVERN0R

What the recommendation of Gov ernor Hunt regarding the retention of United States troops in the Globe min ing district is to be will be known in two or three days.
 That length of time, it was an- nounced at the state house yesterday, is to be taken by the governor in an investigation of the matter, following the visit and the consultation with Colonel G. Fl. Morgan, Major G. H. Me- Clellan and Captain D. c. Cabell, Jr., nited States officers on tour of in- spectiOn of all federal troops in the state.
 The three officers called upon Gov ernor Hunt yesterday forenoon and spent some time in conference with him. At it's conclusion, the governor issued the following statement:
 The visit of the three United States military officers was partly of a social nature, they being on their way to the northern part of the state. The visit also was partly in pursuance to a let ter from the war department previously received by Governor Hunt and which is in regard to the need of the further retention of the United States troops in the Globe mining district.
 The troops, it was stated in the let ter, are urgently needed elsewhere and unless there is a real need for their presence further at Globe that they should be released.
 Governor Hunt, while expressing a desire to have the troops liberated from Globe, where they have been con- tinuously since last July. as soon a: possible, yet he declared that he would do nothing hastily and rot until he ha: investigated the matter thoroughly.

ENEMY ALIENS
 IN STATE MUST
 REG|STERS00N
From February f to g, are
 Days of Registration of Subjects of Germany In
 Arizona-Announce Rules

Registration of alien enemies, that is natives, citizens, denizens or sub- jects of the German empire of the Im- perial German government" must all register, commencing at s o'clock on tie morning of February 1. In Phoe nix the registration is in charge of the chief of police and alien enemies with in the meaning of the new order must register with the chief of police.
 United States Marshal Dillon re- ceived the order yesterday with in structiOns to transmit it to the proper authorities Tn cities of 5000 or more the office for registering is that of the chief of police. In smaller cities the alien enemies must register with the local postmaster. To Postmaster Nicholson falls the duty of instructing the other postmasters in the cities and towns of less than 5,000 people as to the details of their duties.
 While registration of enemy aliens starts at o'clock on the morning of February it does not end until o'clock on the evening of February 9. Each day in between the iegIstra tion place must be open from o'clock in the morning urti o'clock in the even ing. Any enemy alien who does not register is subject to extreme penalty and Uncle Sam evidently means no more foolinS.
 The cities in which the chief of po- lice is the registering officer are Phoe- nix, Tucson, Bisbee, Douglas, Prescott and Globe.
 It is estimated that there are 2,O0C or more enemy aliens in Arizona. Just how they are scattered about only the registration will show. They vii probably not be disturbed as long as they mind their own business ant keep their mouths shut" as Secretary of State Lansing said at the com- mencement of the war.
 Of course any former German citi- zen who is naturalized is now citizer of the United States and in no way {, be considered as an enemy alien.
 United States Marshal Dillon ha. received a number of copies of a book. let giving the details for those i, charge of registering the German aliel enemies. These booklets set forth tn, forms and will be sent to the differen officials in charge. They are not foI promiscuous distribution.

George Walsh at Empress


 Are you a rich man? Are you d poor man? Whatever is your sta tion in life, you will enjoy seeing George Walsh iit his latest William Fox picture, The Pride of New York; which will be shown at the Empress theater today.
 If you are a rich man and have a son you may profit by seeing this photodrama. It may bring you a realization that perhaps you have not looked after that son and guided him as you should have. Perhaps he lacks industry. Perhaps his aim in life is merely to spend your money.
 If you are a poor man and have a son who is industrious, who is working hard to better himself, you will like this picture, because it shows that he has a chance, espec- tally in Uncle Sam's army. which, in measure, is a leveler of human beings. The picture was directed by R. A.
