Vermont of one OF its keenest legal
minds in taking from the fraternity OF
the law Robert G. Bacon of Brattleboro.

able to work long periods without recrc-

Family of 0rrin Kimball Came Near Be-
ing Burned to Death.

The people in this vicinity were called
up at an early hour Saturday morning
and were very sorry to discover the house
of Orrin Kimball was all afire. The
family were awakened by Gerry, their
son, about 2 o'clock in the morning, The
rooms were fast filing with smoke. Had
ii not been for his waking up they might
have all persisted Mrs Kimball made
her way out through a window. Nearly
everything in the house, clothing and all,
was burned. The horse barn was also
burned. Four hogs, of which two were
all ready for market, $50 bushels of oats
and lot of potatoes, as well as a lot
of other valuable things which can never
be replaced Their many friends that
ever visited them well know with what
great loss they have met. for their
home was model one, everything up in
fine shape. BY the kindness Of their
nearest neighbor, A. s. Libbey, the fam
lily is just now stopping there. Mr.. and

Peauy HyIand at Lamara.

Peggy Hyland in "A Girl in Bohemia" will be seen for the final times today at the Lamara. This is a most clev- erly drawn comedy drama having its locale in the bizarre quarter of New York known as "Greenwich Village. the home of the artists and their set.
 Into this environment there drifts a country girl, piqued that her first novel written on Bohemian Life" should have proven a farce due to her lack of knowledge on the subject she tried to write, and determined that her sec ond attempt should not be started without the formulation Of local color. Slowly but surely sne becomes impli- cated with the "doings" of the quarter. and it is not long before she is formally charged with murder. It Is then that the shallowness of her friends" makes itself known to her. and the depth of the love of the man she has refused appeals to her. for the rejected sweet heart proves her only friend in need. How he fights for her freedom forms the remarkable punch" of the story.
 The Fighting Line" is the western added attraction.

URGE MOVE ID PLACE CURB ON THE ANNUAL
 CAVE CREEK FLOOD

An early conference 10 discuss the pest means of curbing the annual Cave creek floods was urged yester- day in a resolution adopted by tho Rotary club at its regular lunefieon meeting It followed the report of Dwight E. Heard, chairman of the ex- ccutive committee on public affairs of the club. which was as follows; To the Members of the Rotary Club:
 Gentlemen: Your committee on pub lie affairs, to whom was referred the question of the recent Cave creek flood and ways and means for a per manent remedy, after a conference on this important question bsgs Co re- bort as followsi
 At our conference we have the op- nortunity of studying the report made on this question by Frank r. Trott and H. r. Robinson under date of February 2s. 1905, which was very ssindly furnished us by MT. Trott, and of which we hand you copy. Mr. Frott frankly advised Us that condi- lions have materially changed since the report was made. and merely fur nished the report In order to give us an available data.
 Some early and practical remedy for preventing recurrence of these fioodr IS of vital importance to this commu- nifty. Not only do these floods nd - NtfSciy elIeCI the interests or many taxpayers, but they arc decided det- fiment to many of our public institu- uons such as the state capitol and the state fair grounds, and Tn addi- lion the transportation facilities of this community arc seriously en- barrassed.
 We. therefore. suggest that an early conference be called of the following persons representing the different in- terests in this connections:
 w. k. Bowen. chairman hoard of supervisors: Thomas Maddox. state engineer; Y. P- Cruice representing the Santa Fe System; c. M. Scott. representing the Arizona Eastern: Avery Thompson. city manager: w. R. Elliott manager or the Salt River Val ley Water Users association.
 And, in addition to those mentioned above. the Rotary club, the Kiwanis the chamber of commerce, the Mer- chants and Manufacturers associa- fion. and the Realty board be asked to send representative.

The palatial steam yacht Phar. of Los Angeles, was chartered by Metro for the use of May Allison and her company in the making of ."Tne Is land of Intrigue" a melodramatic, TO- mantle comedy which will be shown at the Plaza theater today only
 Many of the scenes for the produc- ton were taken aboard the yacht and she was also used to transport the star and her co-players to the beau tiful semi tropical island of Santa Cruz where many thrilling scenes for the big production were made.
 After chartering the yacht Direc- tor Otto had her thoroughly re-deco- rated and when she again put to sea she was a shining miracle of white paint and glistening brass-a delight to the eyes of passengers and crew.

Alice Joyce. appearing in Vita graphs picturization of Charles Klein s greatest success, The Third Degree" will close her engagement with the final showings at the Strand today.
 Following closely the spoken ver- sion, which proved such a sensation when it was first produced in New York. "The Third Degree" tells the life story of Annie Sands, a waitress in a college, who is secretly married by Howard Jeffries. son of an influ- ential millionaire. The marriage caused the sons disinherience by his enraged father. The father, in the meantime, has married a young wom . an who fears that her past affair" with Robert Underwood, gambler, known to the son, will prove her un- doing. Uaderwood's request for hush money brings the young wife to his apartment at night. The request for the return of a loan also brings young JeffrieS to the same apartment But intoxication has placed Jeffries in a stupor, and he does not recognize his fathers wife, nor remember when she departed. Underwood is found dead, and Jeffries is charged with the mur- der. The police invoke the terrible third degree" forcing a confession" The mobility of the waitress is forci- ply demonstrated in her fight for the life of the man she loves, so ably de- and interpreted by this talented star.
 Daring Lions and Dizzy Husbands is the comedy, willie the Outing Ches- ter and the Fox News complete the program.

"oh, eoy!u at tho Columbia

There is more fun in "Oh. Boy," the spectacular ".Filmusical Comedy, '' showing at the Columbia theater for the last time today. than is ordinarily comedy stage offerings. And 1t has a lot of pretty girls in dainty cos tunes who are in the picture all the time and who get into the same as if they really enjoyed 1t. The beauty standard of "Oh, Boy." is exceptional and the production landed in the mid dle of the Land Of Success with q report that sounded like a AZ centi- meter gun.
 The current Columbia attraction is the first successful attempt ever made to translate to the screen the complete story of modern, up-to- date 'girlie- grille" musical comedy hit. And the way Phoenicians have accepted this wonderful bit of photog- raphy is indeed a tribute to the sue cess of the offering.
 In the 'FilmusicaI- Comedy version of ''Oh. Boy," June Caprice, one of the screens most popular personali- ties, is costarred with Creighton Hale who originally played in the stage production in Philadelphia. Miss Cap rice enacts the role which was made famous by Anna Wheaton in the orig ina1 presentation on the stage.
 However, the supporting cast has not been neglected. J. K. Murray Zena Keefe, Joseph Conyers. Flora Finch. Maurice Bennett Flynn and Ben Taggert are some of the we'll known stage and screen performers who ably assist the stars in making the produc- ton one of complete merriment to say nothing of its success
 A Strand comedy and a special two- rell comedy are the supplementing program numbers being offered for the last time today

afternoon and tonight rLena' has been a great favorite with all who have seen her, and she promises two more capacity houses today.
 Starting tomorrow, the Lawrence company will present what is prom ised as the best bill of all their offer ings to date. It is offered as a special Christmas treat and will run for the entire week with the usual Sunday, Wednesday and Saturday matinees, with special Christmas matinee on Thursday.
 ''Jim's Girr' was originally produced by Conan and Harris and enjoyed long run in New York, just recently closing. It was written by Earl Car roll, author of "So Long Letty" and Canary Cottage and Thomas Gray, who contributes nearly all the comedy scenes to the Winter Garden and Kieg- field F'ollies and Century theater, New York. MT. Lawrence is giving the play an elaborate production.
 Geraldine Farrar at the Hip.
 Geraldine Farrar in .'Temptation' is the Hips offering for the final show ings today.
 In the role of the young singer, Renee Dupree, Geraldine Farrar has brought to the world wonderful portrayal, not only from sheer ability, but from the tender appeal of the characterization. Renee is in love with Julien. a young composer who is striving to have Null Ter ,an impressario, accept his latest operatic score. Muller stricken with the beauty of Renee, proposes that she accept his attentions, rejecting Julien, in return for which he will produce the opera. Julien becomes dangerously i'll, the doctors advising that his life was to be saved only if his opera could be produced. Love called for the sac rifice and Renee decides to give herself to Muller. But here Fate intervenes, and in a w&derfuiiy dramatic climax we find all clouds of unhappiness re- moved, and Renee and Julien happy in their mutual affection.
 On the same bill is being shown The Face in the Watch"
