ALLEGED EXCESS TAX |S BASIS OF SUI! BY
 UNITED VERDE C0.

The defendants answer to the sec ond amended complaint of the plain tiff in the suit brought by the United Verde Copper company against Judge Alfred Franklin collector of internal revenue, was completed yesterday by United States Attorney Flynn and filed with the clerk of the federal court.
 The litigation, which probably will come before the federal court at the Prescott session now going on, is a sequel to contest which originated over the United Verde's income tax for the years 1913, 1914 and 1915. The copper company claims that it was forced to pay too much tax, to put It baldly, and in the answer filed yes terday the revenue collector denies the claim.
 In 1913, the company, in making out it's income tax return, made an allow ance of s282 900 for the depletion of ores. The collector maintained that these figures should be reduced by s212, ,000, and allowed only s70,000 for depletion.
 The next year the company made an allowance of s235,000 for ore deple- tion, and the government reduced the amount to s62.500, collecting tax on the other s172,00o. In 1915 practically the same thing again happened. The company allowed $S70.00o for ore deple- ton, and the internal revenue depart ment reduced 1t to $92.500.
 Strong protests were made by the copper company in each case, inas- much as about s600,000 was added to it's annual income on which the tax was collected, in the three years. The contest was followed with the filing of the suit by the company against L. T. Carpenter, then revenue col- lector. The suit was later transferred to Judge Franklin, the present col lector.

EXPECTS D|C MEETING. IF SUPERVISORS IN. THIS CITY SEPT. 22.

Hon. Charles M. Roberts of Cochise was in the city yesterday on his way to Mohave county in the course Of tour of the state to arrange for a. con- ference of the supervisors of the state at meeting to be held in this city on September 22 MT. Roberts is chair man of the state supervisors associa- ton formed at the Grand Canyon at the meeting of the state board of equalization a month ago
 The chief matter to be considered at the forthcoming meeting is the sub feet of good roads and all things re- lating thereto. the disposition of the 75i per cent road fund, federal aid, the joining of the highways of each coun- tyi.to a highway of another county, looking to a system of state roads.
 Mir. Roberts has visited the southern coupties and he has found great in- terest in the subject everywhere. Every county, he said would be rep resented at the coming meeting. and he believes that there will be large representation from every county.
 In the matter of the supervisors meeting, Mir. Roberts was serious. Whether he was or not, in that part of his conversation relating to his candi- fiacy for the democratic nomination for governor, it is a matter of con- 1ecture. He said. among other things. that so far as he could learn there would be no other candidate for the democratic nomination, and he a'ather suspected that the republicans would perceive the hopelessness of the fight against him and would nominate no candidate; he was inclined to give the 'epnblicans credit for a little sense and for such a degree of perception as not to enter upon an absolutely hone less contest.
 Concerning the proposition to have a state democratic convention pre- cede the primary, Mir Roberts said that while he had no objection to the convention, he saw in the impendine situation no reason for holding botf a convention and a primary, since the last one h~-d would be merely a rati. fication O. his nomination by tht former.
 Mr, Roberts will leave for Kingmar this morning

with big men of the German
War Council as a result of which
he wrote his books 1.-The AS
sault" and Men About the
Kaiser. His charactcrizations
of the German War Lords was
of great assistance to the Allies
during the war. But the main
theme of Mr.. WiIe's ChautauQua
address will be the relations eX-
listing between England and
America, past, present and flu
ture. Mr.. Wile's book Explain
ing the Britishers' is famous
as a description of John Bull"
he is, and his lecture will largely
employ the material contained in
that book.
Mr.. Vile with his American
birth and early residence and
his later European experience,
will make an ideal Interpreter Of
the old wor to the new.
He will speak on the fourth
night of Chautauqua.

American cities and towns, with ex- captions so few and far between that they scarcely attracted notice, has been banished permanently not only be- cause the so-called reform element put it out of business, but mere because an overwhelming percentage of Amer ican people are convinced that it was an evil. Many strong opponents of prohibition are now persuaded that at any rate so far as the saloon was concerned they were on the wrong side of the question.
 As to "bone-dry" prohibition, 1nak- ing it impossible for alcoholic bever- ages to be legally made or sold in the United States, opinions will continue to differ, probably long after the whole world goes dry, if that consum- nation is ever reached, but friends of the old-fashioned barroom are in a hopeless minority

CHORUS GIRLS GOING UP

ming factory was employing 35 former chorus girls, and the girls were earn ing from $35 to $50 a week jazzing fruit into cans instead of shaking a wicked shimmy in smoking allowed in all parts of the auditorium" house. In the good old days every young lady working in factory or mill aspired some day to go behind the footlights and become second Bernhardt. Per- haps they still aspire. and if they do, and can shimmy (which is a require ment by most managers from thel chorus these days), then they have good chance to land in burlesqu show. That is, providing they als have looks
 The big reason why bur1esque chorus girls are forsaking their tights is be cause of the high cost of living along the road. Rooms they used to hire at $9 week cost SIS these days. Meals average them s2 a day, and their sal aries just about cover expenses. Then, of course, they must have clothes now and then, and by the time the season ends they are "broke." There is usually a 10 weeks lay off in the summer at least in burlesque and the. beauty must either get real job then or starve.
 In Pennsylvania and Ohio towns where the burlesque shows are playing many of the girls are leaving to be- come models in department stores for cloaks and suits at from s20 to $3o a week. Many have also taken jobs as waitresses, for they are sure of three meals a day and enough to buy new suit of clothes now and then. even in these days of H. C.. of L.

Epidemic of stage-struek Girls


 Who has fired the ambition of Birming- ham girls for stage career? Who has caused a local epidemic of female movie bugs? Why does the telephone girl pine for debut before the footlights? Who's telling all the pretty Alabama girls they ought to follow in the footsteps of Mar guerite Clarke. Fritizi scheff, Norma Talmadge, Pauline Frederick, Mary Pick ford and the rest of the bunch, includ- ing vaudeville. musical comedy and stock?
 F. G. Wilson, manager of Loew's Bijou, wants to know.
 "It's dull day when half dozen dam sels do not call up over the telephone and ask for advice as to the proper course to pursue to gain recognition of managers and producers" MT Wilson said
 They want to come to the Bijou and stand in the wings to see our vaudeville acts put on, talk to the stage manager consult with the electricians and even insist that we start theatrical school where they may develop their talents aSd beat it right out from Birmingham ovei the I.oew circuit, don't know who's re- sponsible for this apparently contagious epidemic of stage-struck girls, but my ad- vice is that they finger in Birmingham and adorn the home of some Birming- ham man as a life partner"
