JACOBS BENEFIT
 GREAT SUCCESS

With every seat taken and most friendly audience, the benefit per formance for and by the members of the Jacobs musical comedy company at the Columbia last evening was a conspicuous success. The show, "The Time, the Place and the Girl" went over big, first because the audience were with the actors and, second, because it was the best pro- duction the company has yet put on. The stage folk sensed the magnetic friendliness of the people out in front and responded with a brisk show which was more than well received.
 MT. Jacobs states that the members of the organization may hold together and try and put on a series of shows in some other house, the Arizona the ater if they can get it and be allowed to use 1t. Some of the members of the company, however, have inti- mated that they will take their share of the money and fit coastward. Time alone will tell what is to become of the organization.
 Manager George Mauk of the Co., lumbia rendered his theater to the company for the benefit and as a re- suit the actors will divide over. $500 and some flowers sent up over the footlights to especially popular people. The encores given will finger long in the memory of members of the com pany as an open expression of good wishes.

He is alleged to have performed the duties of the president of the company which office he does not hold. Fowler is fur ther alleged to have sold a large num- Der of sheep belonging to the com pany for the sum of s7,792 receiving S1,500 in cash which it is charged he failed to deposit to the company's ere dit at it's usual place of deposit and to have converted it to his own use, re- fusing to state what disposition he has made of the amount
 Fowler with E. T. Beckman and c. l.. Goodman, is charged with fraud ulently conspiring for the purpose of wrecking the said company and leas- ing and disposing of its real and per sonal property and holding pretended directors meetings without notice to those plaintiffs and not disclosing to either of these plaintiffs the nature or purpose of the same.

POWERS BOYS IN
 SERIOUS SHAPE.

In statement issued yesterday by United States Marshal Joe Dillon, the officer stated that both of the Powers boys, recently captured below the bor der, were in extremely bad shape from wounds received in the early stages of their attempted escape.
 To Deputy Marshal Haynes is cred ited both of the injuries inflicted on the brothers, although indirectly. It is said that after killing the three Graham county officers, and barri- cading themselves in a house, it was during a gun fight that ensued that both boys were injured. John Powers in standing behind door which was penetrated by one of Haynes bullets, was struck in the face with a large splinter which so firmly imbedded it. self that he could not remove it, and Tom Powers had his eye cut almost completely in two by a piece of flying glass. The eye will have to be re- moved, physicians say.,
 Both are under heavy guard, in company with Sissons in the Stafford jail.

MILITARY DANCE TO BE AT WECKERSHAM'S $

The Wickersham Academy will be all set for a military dance next Sat urday night.
 Miss Margaret Priester and MT. Wickersham, whose repertoire of clev- CT dances seems endless, will dance their military selection.
 Thrift stamps, among other atract- i've and military things will be given as spot prizes, and where all was green last Saturday evening, red, white and blue will abound this time.
 One of the striking features of the Wickersham dances is the variety of ages of people found there.
 Dancing should not be limited to youth" said Mir. Wickersham in re- ferring to his dances, flor the older folk need the relaxation it provides more than the younger set, and when it is properly presented, it becomes attractive to both.
 The regular Thursday dance will be omitted tonight for the last time.

GIRLS ARE HELPING
 MAKING TORPEDOES
(New York Herald

Girls have begun their work at the torpedo station at Newport as primer makers. This has heretofore been con- sidered mans task, but with the scarcity of labor the women were ap- pealed to and forty girls went across the little ferry to take up their new task. They wear bungalow aprons. and have their own matronette. as she IS called. or woman boss"
 John F. Sullivan, the chief clerk at the station, was mortified to learn thar they were to be treated exactly as the men in one respect, and that is that each was to have her photogranh taken standing beside MT. Sullivan. to be presented as card of identifica- tion when they go on the island. Mir. Sullivan is already the most photo graphed man in America, which fact heretofore he did not mind.
 The girls earn $11.05 a week, with short hours. The number is to be in creased to seventy-five. One of the drastic orders now said to be posted at the station is to the effect that any employe caught flirting with the girls will be propmtly discharged.

WEST VAN bUREN
 WILL BE PAVED

The paving of West Van Buren street from Third avenue to Sixth avenue will proceed despite the fact that three protests against the pro- posed improvement were presented to the city commission at it's regular session yesterday morning. The pro- tests, in the opinion of Commissioner MacBean, were the outcome of an al tercation between property owners OH the north and south sides of the street. He believed that a majority of the property owners desired paving and presented a motion that the pro tests be denied and that the bid of the Southwest Contracting company be accepted. This motion was seconded by Commissioner Jones.
 Before the vote was called for a communication from A. E. Copley was read in which the commission was urged to proceed with the paving of Van Buren street without delay. The motion finally carried unanimously.
 Protests were presented to the com mission by Mrs. Hattie L. Mosher and Mrs. Julia Mosher Collins against the assessment of the cost of the paving of North Third avenue from Roosevelt street to the McDowell road. These protests were based on the claim that the Phoenix Railway company had not been compelled to pave between it's tracks. The pro- tests were denied unanimously, al though Commissioner Woods stated that he was voting yes only for the reason that the city had awarded the contract subject to such conditions. He wished it understood that he was not voting to exempt the railway company from doing it's share of the paving.
 The commission fixed April 3 as the date for hearing protests against the assessment for the paving of West Moreland street from Central avenue to Third avenue, and approved the assessment for the improvement of East Moreland street from Central Avenue to Seventh street. there be- ing no protests.
