CRIMINAL SUSPECT ARRESTED AT MESA

MESA. April 9.-Constable o. L. Piokens of Mesa made an arrest yes terday of man bearing an l. w. W. card on which was written the name of R. Woods The arrest was made on suspicion that the man was q criminal, and. the articles found on his person seemed to carry out the idea. Though having the appearance of a common laborer, in his pocket was a valuable lavaliere, of real pearls and small dia- monds. The chain and settings were of platinum, and a local jeweler pro- nounced it d valuable necklace. There was also a small silver watch with solid gold chain. a gold brooch set with diamond, and two pairs of nose glasses with gold attachment He had three skeleton keys one of which was shaped and cut for working upon Yale locks, the other two opening any one of number of doors on which they were tried. He had a sort of lance or knife. with the blade sharpened to Il razor edge, the instrument being small enough to conceal in the hand, and of the sort used by pickpockets in sitting pockets. He also carried hypodermic needle, which was surmiSed to be used for dope, but which q local ieyeler states is used by safe blowers for in serting soup between the doors of a safe. Pickens lodged the man in jail 1 here and went over to Phoenix to con- suit with the sheriff as to any cews afforded by the articles.

 Dr. Boido was to be sentenced by the court at the hour the petition was filed and the act halted the proceed ings. Nine of the jurors were present in the court room and were questioned closely by the court who condemned the act as unlawful" Judge Stanford reminded the jurors that when the verdict of guilty with the recommends ton of clemency was returned he had allowed them to return to the jury room to deliberate once more. He said that he might not be able to de- termine what was meant by clemency and informed them that if they wished they might insert suspended sent ence.' This was not done" said the court

Each juror present was asked now ne ndu come to SlSn the peIltlou and all declared that since the case they had been informed that Dr. Boido had intended taking up her residence in Oregon if she secured acquittal or suspended sentence and they firmly believed that the best solution of the case.

Gail Kane at Columbia

Miss Gail Kane, whose fame on the speaking stage extends from coast to coast and centers in Broadway, and whose motion picture successes arc highly flattering to her versatility, is at her best in a new American Mu- tual production, "A Game of Wits" in which she is given opportunity to introduce the light comedy that made her beloved of Gotham. The picture is at the Columbia today.
 In the new play, Miss Kane is cast as the daughter of a speculating mil lionaire who gets himself all tied up with market shark and is at the lat ters mercy. The man who holds the young girls father at his mercy wants to marry the girl, but he is sixty years old and she is nineteen so, of course. the father rejects the proposition with scorn.
 Not so the girl, who has overheard the proposal. She courts the old finan- cier, over-feeds him, over exercises $ him in long walks through the moun- tains and at last drives him, to the extremity of running away to escape her athletic demands. She makes him pay s100, 900 indemnity.
 Spottiswoode Aitken, a very clever actor. is leading man. Included in the cast are George Periolate, one of the most famous character men in Amer ica, and Lewis J. Cody, whose work is always acceptable.

Beloved Traitor" at Empress

When Goldwyn began production of The Beloved Traitor" in which Mae Marsh is appearing just now at the Empress, copy of the Frank L. Pack ard novel was presented not only to the star but to every member of the cast. This was done in order to fa- miliarize the players with the story they are telling on the screen today In this way the actor gets a clearer conception of his part and its relation 10 the other characters. Also he is enabled to absorb atmosphere and gem erally project himself into the picture much more successfully than if he re- lied on the director to instruct him, scene by scene. The executives at the Goldwyn studios are enthusiastic over the result and commend it to other producers when a popular novel is about to be filmed.
