 Neither will the vivicous vampire or any other species of iniquitous in- dividual have a chance to weave his or her web of evil in "Oh, Boyl" for the new offering is essentially a pie ture of the gloom -dispelling variety in which shadows have no place.
 The dramatic or emotional conflict necessary to sustain the interest in a production of feature length in "Oh Boy," is derived from an amusing cycle of circumstances in which the

"Waqon Tracks" At The Strand

Wagon Tracks" At The Strand
 William s Hart in Wagon Tracks is the Strand offering for the final showings today.
 In many respects Wagon Tracks" is one of the strongest pictures Hart has yet offered the fans It is a drama of revenge, of a strong man seeking in his own way the murderer of his brother, of his fierce spirit of "a life for life and of his unflinching code of flair play'-a code which will not permit him to use unfair tactics on suspect, but demanding that he use tactics sure of bringing to light the truth he seeks. His quest takes him far into the desert. where, in the most unusual way, he forces the guilty man to confess. Just what punishment he metes out to the man he seeks, forms one of the most surprising climaXes ever used in a Hart story. The pretty l love story running through the picture | is not one which will detract in the least from the central theme Wagon Tracks" is augmented by the addition of Briggs comedy. "A 1 City Dude" by the Paramount Maga- zine, and the Pathe News.

Alice Nielsen Comes Friday.

In writing tunes of the better class which have caught the popular favor, no other American has enjoyed such success as Victor Herbert. His Kiss Me Again" waltz from Mile. Modiste" still moves regularly off the publish CTS shelves and there is even q demand for that earlier number made popular by Alice Nielsen, Cupid and l." Who that heard the little prina donna sing it can ever forget it. with the bird like cadenza in which Miss Nielsen's tones fought for supremacy with the mimick- ing flute and won. It was a rare eVen- ing indeed when the audience that al ways packed the house to hear her at the head of the BostonianS in Her bert's "Serenade" did not call for at least three repetitions of Cupid and r and not infrequently it ran to seven encores. It is the same Alice Nielsen just as dainty and petite. with the beautiful voice one of the finest Amer ica ever produced, who is coming to Phoenix on Friday, December 19, to sing at the Elks theater and, inciden- tally. she is using the famous old Cupid and I" for an encore on her recital program.

DouoIas Fairbanks at Hip.

Douglas Fairbanks in "A Modern Musketeer' is up for final showings at The Hip today, when he will close the engagement of a picture that has proven a most attractive offering dur ing it's engagement. With all the aban- don, with all the devil-may -care spirit that pervades all his pictures, the in imitable Fairbanks romps through the role assigned him in this production, which was written especially for the versatile star It embraces much ad- venture many thrills, and with it all a spirit of expectancy so essential to all successful photo dramas. Fairbanks has unlimited opportunity for the dis play of that athletic ability which has placed him in the foremost ranks of his profession, for the display of that world renowned Fairbanks smile" and for the display of that rare histrionio ability which belongs to Fairbanks alone.
 The Modern Musketeer" is not es- sentially a western drama, though much of the action takes place in the big outdoors of the vast west. It is la Douglas Fairbanks picture, and thai means the utmost to the discerning
 picture fan.

leading proponents of the story, played by Miss June Caprice and Creighton Hale, are enmeshed by some whim of fate. It might therefore be said that fate, in this instance, assumes the role of villainess but her intrigues are not of the malevolent variety, al- though they cause a series of com plications that keep everyone con- cerned decidedly uneasy until the climax is reached, when everything is explained to everyone's satisfaction.
 This villainless motion picture mas terpiece is due for the first local ex- hibition at the Columbia theater this afternoon, continuing tonight, Friday and Saturday. You can't afford to miss it if good, clean entertainment, with plenty of pure comedy is to your liking.
 A Gaumont Graphic and a Strand comedy are other numbers included on this feature program.

 DEBATE STRONG

WASHINGTON, July 11.-In the course of five hour debate in the house today on the prohibition bill, the liquor traf- fife was hkened to a convicted criminal. appealing for a reprieve. while some of the more drastic provisions of the mea- sure were denounced as an invasion of the liberty. hospitality and habits of the home.
 It probably was the last great day. of prohibition oratory in the house. Not all of the F hours set aside for general debate had. been used at the close of an all day discussion which ranged from a technical argument on constitutional questions to straight stump speech for prohibition and it's enforcement.
 Chairman Volstead of the judiciary committee, in charge of the bill. and Rep leaders of the minority, were unable to allot all of the time desired by members anxious to be heard.
 There were more demands than there was time to give. with everybody want ing a word. Time and again there was the droning call-''the gentleman asks permission to extend and revise his re- marks" The speech making will con- NAhhC NOhAOAlOns DUl lHC IOuSc VIII HOl begin actual work on the bill, section by section. until Monday.
 Again today ardent prohibitionists de- clared they could not support the en- forcement bill because of it's provisions. and others contended that once congress defines intoxicating liquors as a bever- age containing one-half of one per cent alcohol the federal law for such enforce
  concurrent action by the several states
 The principal dry" argument against the measure today was made by Repre- sentative Moon. Democrat. of Tennessee, who declared that unless it was material ly amended he would feel in duty bound to vote against 1t or else express his by not voting at all.
 For 22 years. Mir. Moon said. he had stood up on the floor of the house and upheld the cause of prohibition but the bill. which he characterize as "impracticable and senseless as any thing ever suggested" because it is worse in all its features than the in- famous Force bill. He asserted con- gross was going beyond its constitutional powers in attempting to say a man should not put liquor into hib house and to define Intoxicating liquors by limiting the alcoholic content to one half of oneIper cent.
 It was apparent tonight that prohibit ton leaders were somewhat dIsconcerted by persistent attacks on the enforcement bill by members of the house regarded heretofore as certain to support it. They still claimed, however, to have votes enough to put it through substantially as drafted. although they said radical changes undoubtedly would be made by the senate. The drive by the 'wets" had broken up all attempts. threatened several days ago, to make the bill more drastic than in its present form.

CrOwder Refuses
 Cuban Praises for Electoral Law Work

HAVANA, July 11.-Major General Enoch H. Crowder, United States judge advocate general, who is in charge of the work of reforming the Cuban electoral laws, today refused to accept a resolution of felicitation presented to him on behalf of the na- tional assembly of the liberal party by committee headed by General Fausino Guerra, president of the party, because of the American minister to Cuba and of the economic judicial and public administrations.
 In an open letter addressed to Gen eraI Guerra, the advocate general de- clares himself not indifferent to the felicitation of those who have collab- orated with him in his efforts to give Cuba an electoral law that will include the most ample and effective guar antees against electoral abuses" This being the only work for which he was called to Cuba, he has, under the in- structions he brought with him, no other interest in the administration of Cuba.

 TREATY FAKE 

r WASHINGTON. July 11.-It was stated today that none of the material which has come into the governments hands in connection with recurring reports of a secret treaty between Japan and Ger many corresponds entirely with photosta- tic copies of the alleged treaty which have been circulated among senators. The photostatic copies reproduce a publica- tion of several weeks ago in a publica- ton at Sungshu.
 Senator Lodge already has a resolu- tion pending calling for any material the government may have on the sub ject. The report was repeatedly denied by the Japanese embassy here and the state department also has denied knowl- edge of the alleged treaty.
 Diplomatists point out today the pulp lished document described as a treaty bears no signatures and no dates. and might have been a memorandum pre- pared by some German official with the hope of converting 1t into a treaty. It was stated officially today that no evil dence was at hand to connect any re- sponsible official of the Japanese govern ment with the document.

 Regarding responsibilities for the war. Premier Clemenceau said it wGs satis- faction to morality that the responsible persons would be tried and added that the entente would maintain its position on that point.

 Contrary to popular expectations the preliminary hearing yesterday were devoid of large audience The transferring and arranging of the cases called for future dates was de- void of interest and the few spectators that were on hand failed to receive any thrills. The large number of cases that will be called Monday for the preliminary hearing is expected to prove a magnet, not only for citi- zens of the Shelter City, but also for Bisbeeites as we'll. Today's tally of the audience in Judge Jacks court room showed three to one Bisbee peo- pie over Douglas citizens.

Holland, France and the United States was reported today to the state de- partment.
 The property of the Scottish-M -Mexi- can company, it was stated, now was being operated by the Mexicans, who have brought in a 30,OOO-barrel oil we'll on the land. The British govern ment, it was learned, has taken up the matter of seizure with the Mexican government and has advised the con- pany pending action to continue to fulfill its obligations under Mexican law.
 The land on which the company op- erated, according to officials, was leased in 1910, conforming in every way with the law of Mexico.
 The state department, although in terested in this confiscation, because of the number of stockholders, in the company, has not taken any steps in the matter, but is watching closely the steps being taken by the British gov
