LOCATION MAKES
BOARD CONSIDER
City Commission Requested
To Allow Use of Central
School Lot In Face of
Previous City Action

The city commissioners were placed
in a somewhat embarrassing position
at the weekly meeting yesterday when
they We're asked to grant permission
to Phoenix lodge 7O8, Loyal order of
Moose to hold a carnival on the
grounds Of the old Central school
grounds. in the heart Of the city. After
a lengthy discussion INDUCED in by
both the commissioners and citizens
the matter was laid over one week.
The petition came to the commits
sion strongly endorsed by all property
owners adjacent to and in the vicinity
Of the Central school grounds. But it
was pointed out by Mayor Corpstein
and Commissioners Dunlap and Woods
that when permission was granted for
holding a carnival on these grounds
fair week that it was definitely de-
cided by the commission that no more
entertainments of that nature would
be permitted there
Citizens appeared to object to the
proposed carnival on the grounds that
it would disturb meetings that will be
in session at churches near the Cen
trail school grounds during the period
of the proposed Carnival-from Febru-
% TO March 2
Commissioner MacBean said that the
the carnival held last fall and that the
proceeds from it were to go for the
purchase Of thrift stamps and there
fore took on a patriotic aspect
Several lots situated far out from
the center Of the city were then sug-
gested To these proposals MacBean
replied: They might as well so to
the fair grounds, or away out in the
country. They can't make any none
unless they are in the central part OF
the city"
Commissioner Woods said the car
nival might be held at Seventh avenue
and West Washington street, but City
Manager Avery Thompson said that he
had learned from property owners ad-
joining that lot that they objected to
any more carnivals being held there
As matters became more cOmpli-
Gated as the discussion progressed it
was decided to lay the Moose petition
over one week

WalthdlI at Plaza
Henry 3. Walthall, who appears at
the plaza today in the role of Jack
Craigen, the modern cave man, in Es-
sanay's five-aGt photoplay, The Mis-
leading Lady" the drama by Charles
W. Goddard and Paul Dickey, which
swept the country short time ago, has
successfully essayed and rendered a
characterization wholly new to him
The part of Craigen is a difficult
one. As the play develops he changes
slowly from the conventional man.
very thoughtful. slightly moody and
extremely distrustful of women, into a
polished brute. consumed by the flames
of desire which is the stronger for
being repressed for so long a time.
Walthall, in the phOtoplay, has become
identified with the Characterization of
dignity, tinged with thoughtfulness
and often verging on melancholy. He is
poet Of the screen and the portrayer
of poetic emotions. Big things, ele-
mental things, patriotism, idealized
love. sacrifice. ambition of the Macbeth
type those are the things which Henry
Walthall has pictured in the past
But in Craigen, he has a normal.
modern man. who has been pushed by
his nature into the wilderness and tho
waste places. But the promptings OF
this nature and the emotions that il
engenders are hidden beneath the con-
NentlOnal exterior

beating. At least evidence in case
before Judge Thomas in police court
yesterday would make it look that
way.
Ramon Uuney, complained that

while they were in the vicinity of
Fourth and Jackson streets and that
she was so lame that she would have
to go and see a doctor. On the
strength Of her complaint Policeman
McGrath and Bob Anderson arrested
Salgado and he passed the night in
jail. In court yesterday Ramona
testified that she never said anything
of the sort, said she was an old
woman, having reached the startling
age of 81, and that Selgado was only
81 years old, said he said he was
going to a ranch to work and wanted
her to go along, said she got angry

BY City Commission In
Favor Of Branch Scheme

Registration booths were ardered

open branch registration places came
after the commission had rejected a
request to name. without pay, deputy
registrars or solicitors, to free lance
through the city, getting voters reg
istered at public gatherings and at
their homes.
The request was presented by DR.,
W. ". Wilkinson. He presented a
list of names of citizens who would
volunteer to act as deputy registrars.
This list included, B. F. Farmer. H.

Commissioner MacBean said that
every year similar request was al
ways made and that it had been the
custom of the city officials to re-
ject it as unfair to the whole voting
public, that Partially was the result
of such a canvass for votes.
DIR. Wilkinson said that it was the
desire of those interested to get on:
as large a vote as possible, regardless
of candidates, and that the citizens
he had proposed would not under
take a house to house solicitation. Dr.

SWIFT eco. REPLY TO
TRADE BOARD CHARGE

BOSTON, Nov. 19.-swift & Co.
have prepared a reply to the accusa-
tons Of the Federal Trade Commits

tee on Sept. %.
The company states in its whole
consideration of profits the Federal
Trade Commission fails to realize that
the profits reported by the packers
are not profits that have actually APP
peared in the form of such, but are
largely book profits tied up in inveu-
tory which will undoubtedly disappear
IN large measure when prices beg n to
go down. Even if the war lasts five
years longer and the drop in prices
does not come until then, the loss
will be Just as real.
For the meat and by-products de-
partment, which are subject to the
8 per cent limitation of profits, the
statement continues, the rate of turn
over is 1-2 times a year. "It must
be remembered that part of the steer
consists of by-products which move
slowly, that some of the beef is cured
and sailed, and large portion of pork
Prodnucts consists of cured products
which move very clowly and that ev-

packers profit of one-quarter Of

SIS ton as compared to only Is
cents per ton profit on coal AS a
matter Of fact an average quality ton
Of beef is worth wholesale at present
about $500, whereas a ton of anthra-
cite coal at tidewater is worth only
81. Compare IS profit on a $500
sale with 25 cent profit on a 81 sale.
The beef profit Is only about 1 IA per
cent, coal profit over IL per cent.
