making a balanced design.

most thrilling chapters Of the war.
When the president ordered our mer'

branch of the service was organized

TdLkS Himself
 Into Jail

William Bell, who now claims that he is Russian by the name of Win centas Bellsken, now finds himself prisoner in the city jail, on a charge of trying to evade the draft and will probably be given a chance to serve a term in jail.
 Yesterday morning he approached Petty Officer Saladino, of the Navy recruiting office and asked him if it would be possible to enlist in the navy. The officer told him that it could be done if he secured a release from the local board at Tombstone. Saladino called up the local board at Tomb stone and was informed that Bell was called to go with the next contingent. When Bell first talked to the recruit ing officer he remarked that the local board could not make him go, that he would show them, that he had someone here who was going to get him out of the draft. When Sala- dino was informed that Bell had been called, he notified the agents of the Department of Justice as to what Bell had said and he was watched. Bell came back to Saladino and he was in lOImtu Dg ludl OIIlCcT lLdl uc was under the call. Bell then stated, well, I am not going. I will show Krebs and the board where they can go to. am going to leave town in four hours and go back east to see my folks and they can go to. About this time Agent Mcfarland happened to come along and took MT. Bell along with him to the United States Com missioners' office where he was ar rested on a charge of trying to evade the draft. He will be given hear. ing and if sufficient evidence is in troduced to show it was his intentions to evade the draft he will be held to answer to the United States Grand jury at Tucson. Bell has taken out his first papers to become an Ameri- can citizen, which makes him eligible to the draft In signing his registra- tion card and questionnaire he signed and swore to it as William Bell. and new claims that his right name is Wincentas Bellsken.

NIGHT SHIFT MATINEE TODAY THE CLANSMAN

The Central theater management will stage a special night shift mat inee today of the Birth of a Nation, or the Clansman, at II o'clock and a night show at o'clock. Tomorrow and Friday there will be two per formances, one at 2 o'clock and the other at night.
 The cost of producing the Clans man was S5OO,OOO and seven months were required in staging it. Twenty five thousand soldiers are shown in action. Hand to hand infantry con- flicts, cavalry charges and artillery shells are used for the first time in motion pictures are shown in the Clansman. These shells are hurled from the same huge mOrtars that were used by the Federal army during the Civil War. These cannon were bor- rCwed from the U. s. Government for the occasion.
 The question of securing artillery became quite a problem. It would have been a comparatively easy mat ter to secure modern cannon, but to get the artillery used during the Civil War was quite a task Modern can non in a Civil War battle would have been a farce. MT. Griffith insisted that Civil War cannon be obtained and after considerable red tape, these were finally borrowed from the United States government.
 The Birth of a Nation will not be shown in Bisbee. Mayor Jacob Brick son viewed the film at Lowell and made a plea at Mondays special ses- sion to permit the picture to be shown, but was unable to get a second to a motion.
