OFFICIALS ARE
 HELD AT FAULT

Scoring both the county and city for it's failure to cooperate in bettering health conditions, Mrs, Kathryn Mar tin, public health nurse, stated yester- day that her work was being handi- capped by the inactivity of the au- thorities.
 In deploring certain conditions in the city, Mrs. Martin declared that until Phoenix had representative men in public office, interested in the welfare of Phoenix. she did not see how it would be possible successfully to carry on the needed work.
 A graduate nurse of the Univefsity of New York, Mrs. Martin has been appointed to conduct an educational vestigates conditions, teaches hygiene and incidentally is waging a particu- larly active. campaign against flies.
 q find the officers with power to carry on the betterment work after make my report, inactive" she said, citing examples where a word from one with authority would have made for better conditions. She says unless the officers cooperate in the health move ment nothing of great importance can be accomplished.
 Mrs. Martin has interested a num- Der of well known women in her ef- forts who are thoroughly in sympathy with the betterment plan. Committees are being formed and certain features fthe work will be investigated by different club women who will join Mrs. Martin in reporting to the of ficials.

CITY ALT MAKES
 WRIT WORTHLESS

Since relief has been had by vol untary act of the city, there is nothing left for the court to consider" stated Judge Lyman in dismissing the habeas corpus proceeding against Chief of Police Brisbois.
 The petitioner, J. M Kelly, being permitted to furnish bail after remain ing in jail from Saturday afternoon until late Monday afternoon, there was nothing before the court when the writ was made returnable yesterday morning.
 Kelly was arrested Saturday for having a bottle of beef, iron and wine in his possession which he said he pur- chased for his 14-year- old daughter, Ferne who was ill It was charged in the writ that no complaint was lodged against him, he was not taken before any magistrate nor was he given the right of bail. His attorney, Thomas Walton, yesterday brought habeas cor pus proceedings but in the absence of the city attorney and his assistant the matter went over until yesterday.

F CHILD |S HERE
 FATHER MUST HELP

Isula Reddin, the little Swear old daughter of Mrs. John Reddin and her divorced husband, Mark Reddin, must be returned to Phoenix if she is to be supported by ger father. This was the order made by Judge Lyman yesterday when he ruled that the child must be in this city on or before Sep tember 15 or her father will not have to contribute to her support. If he is denied visitorial righte. as he has been during his daughters residence on the coast, Reddin will not have to contrib ute one penny toward her maintenance.
 Last July Judge Lyman granted Mrs. Reddin a divorce from her hus- band on the ground of cruelty. The mother was awarded the custody of the child and, according to the decree, Reddin was to pay $5 a month for the child's support. That he was being deprived of the right of the decree was Reddin's claim when he asked that the little girl be returned to this city. where he is engaged in the cotton in dustry.
 George Christy, for Mrs. Reddin, stated that his client and her daugh- ter were living on the coast for the benefit of the mothers health and the educational advantages for Isula.
 Thomas Armstrong, Jr., contended that the child's educational advantages would be equally great in this county. It was agreed that the family should not return during the heated season, but that they should be in the county by the opening of the school term in the early autumn.

Carmel Myers at the Hip

It is a story with Carmel Myers as an Italian girl. That is enough to stamp it as a hit without more about it, say her admirers. Those who fol- low pictures closely know that this slip of girl less than six months ago was unknown to fame but in a single night after the presentation of My Unmarried Wife she was counted as one of the coming stars of pictures.
 She struck a responsive chord in screen circles by giving to the camera world new creation, an Italian girl with all the cute little mannerisms and gestures of the dark-eyed daughters of the sunny slopes of Italy. In The Wine Girl" she plays another part of an Italian maid only this time she is the slavy of her rich old uncle and he works her like a horse for her board and bed. She is made of better stuff than he and she turns the tables with her smile and her personality.
 A rich young aristocrat working in- cog. discovers the charming girl and the romance ripens when an Italian suitor tries black hand methods to get the girl It is not only a smart melo- drama but it has all the ear marks of comedy that makes drama spiced to the liking of the average picture fan.
 good Current Events is the added feature.

ADJUSTMENTS
Les MiserabIes" to Be Shown

Les Miserables' to Be Shown
 Les Miserables," the great novel of Victor Hugo, the immortal French author, will be shown on the screen at the Empress four days beginning next Sunday. It will afford the people of Phoenix an opportunity of seeing visu- ally what a writer's genius has ex- pressed in words.
 The screen is the eliminating and most artistic effort of the eminent pro- ducer, William Fox, and in choosing William Farnum to play the part of Jean Valjean the public will view an actor whose whole dramatic career might well be said to have prepared him for this supreme role.
 The story is a powerful picture of the life in France in the early part of the nineteenth century. It carries an impassioned appeal of justice and sym pathy for the poor and breathes that faith which sees the divine spark in every human being. no matter how ap- parently low his estate.
 For those who desire to renew their acquaintance ewith this famous novel or who have not read it and would become familiar with a classic, the screen at the Empress will mean an l,exceptional opportunity. The book is the most talked of story the world ot literature has ever known and the film will stand with the writer, expressing l his genius, the master production without equal in moving pictures.

POL|CE RESERVE TO
 BE RECOGNIZED BY
 OFFICIAL CITY LAW

From and after today the Phoenix Police Reserves are likely to consti- tute a body officially recognized, each member possessing full police powers and subject to calls and orders as are all members of the regular police force. At the regular meeting of the city commission this morning it is planned to introduce an ordinance creating the Police Reserves of Phoenix. defining their powers and providing for the ex- pense of their maintenance. The pro- posed ordinance will provide for a fun regiment, with a total membership Of 300 including officers. This regiment will be divided into six companies. each to consist of not more than fifty members. It will be under the mili- tary rules and in command of an of flcer ranking as colonel.
 Should the ordinance be adoptedAas it is believed it will be, c. V. Gulley will undoubtedly be continued as the commanding officer. Under his direc- tion the past few weeks. the Police Reserves have renewed their activity until at this time every company is either recruited to the limit or is rapidly approaching full membership. Some companies already have a wait ing list of those who desire to become members and who have expressed a preference for some particular com pany.
 Renewed interest has been created in the police reserves recently with the offering of a handsome regimental flag by The Arizona Republican, this flag to be contested for by the several companies for a period of ninety days The company to which it is awarded at the end of that period will become for the time being, the color company of the regiment. The points to be considered in this contest are at tendance. efficiency, appearance and discipline.
 Another ordinance which will prob ably come before the commission this morning will be measure replacing the present plumbing ordinance. It is expected that there will be opposition to the proposed new measure. this coming from some of the plumbers who will maintain that some of the provisions are altogether too drastic and will work a hardship upon those who contemplate the erection of small dwellings in remote parts of the city.

Elsie Ferguson at the Lamara

What would be the course of a young wife whose husband, gallant army officer, had been killed in battle, if when she married a wealthy, aged conceited man., she found the love for her dead husband growing stronger as the days went by, and the presence of the man she had married growing more repugnant day by day, and then to learn that the best friend of her for mer husband was also in love with her. These are some of the questions Elsie Ferguson is called upon to answer in the role of Rosamond, the young wife, in Rose of the World" the feature in which Aircraft is presenting this beautiful star at the Lamara.
 Elsie Ferguson scored her greatest successes on the legitimate stage in roles of supreme dramatic import. Her first two pictures have forcibly dem onstrated that she has lost none of her art with her advent to pictures.
 Burton Holmes is on the same pro- gram and offers many interesting travel subjects.
