THREATENED STRIKE
Of OPERATORS NOT
TO AFFECT PHOENIX

Telegraph service in Phoenix will
not be affected if the threatened strike
of the Commercial Telegraphers' Union
of America materializes next Wednes-
day morning. Announcement to this
effect was made by E. NJ. Allen, man
ager of the local Western Union Of
flee, last night.
He based this announcement, he
stated on the receipt of a petition from
local telegraphers yesterday morning,
in which they declared their loyalty
to the company and stated that they
would continue in service irrespective
of the strike orders.
In this report, it was stated that
only members of the Commercial Tele-
graphers Union will be affected by
the strike order. SO far as is known,
there are no members of this union
in Phoenix.
A state organizer for the union is
said to have visited Phoenix at COM
paratively recent date in AN effort to
secure local members. It is under
stood that he promised operators a
large increase in pay if they would join
the union, presumably basing this
promise on the hoped for results of the
impending strike. So far as is known
he met small success.
Manager Allen stated last evening
that of 10000 operators in the employ
Of the Western Union company, only
! 700 are members of the Commercial
| Telegraphers' Union. He pointed out
that even if all members of the union
did strike, it would not seriously handi-
cap business.

BATHERS FIND THAT

No, Clarence, those people you saw

style. Far from it. Desirable as II
sounds, it isn't being done, you know,
Yes, they did it, to be sure, but not
from choice. You see it happened this
way. A party went out TO Joint Head
to have a swim. They didn't hang their
clothes on a hickory limb. for several
reasons. To begin with, there was no
hickory limb, and then motor cars are
much handler.
In this particular case they were al
together too handy, not for the bathers,
but for some person or persons I'M
known. probably of the male persua-
sion, who visited them while the own
ers of the cars and the garments there
in were in the water.
For when they returned they found
very little. Two perfectly good pairs
of trousers, guaranteed to cover up two
silk shirt or two, and some shoes and

The last forty pound pig that the

and then swallowed whole did not rest

and the fight the Tsarina made against

by death the largest and probably the
most famous snake in captivity, and
certainly one of the prettiest.

DIR. Ditmars knew that something
was wrong with the Tsarina, and he
summoned the principal keeper,

to take the regal python, for that is
the Tsarina's species. from her cage.
She is fifty years old, twenty three

They had her stretched out on the

mars was about to administer a liquid
antidote for tumors when the Tsarina
asserted her regal rights. gave a
mighty heaV twenty-three feet long
and sent the fourteen men tumbling
about.
For two hours the Tsarina was a
free agent in the reptile house, defy
ing all efforts at capture. She glided
about with such swiftness that her
long body acted as a rope in tripping
the keepers, until finally a rug was
thrown over her head and a dozen men
fell on her shimmering body, as in a
football scrimmage, and she was con-
quered.
Some of the medicine was forced into
the Tsarina before she protested SO
vigorously, and in a few days that will
put her into condition for one of the
oldest operations ever performed on a
snake. She will be put under the in
fluence of ether, and a surgeon, prob
ably DR.. Ditmars, will remove the

work in restoring the Tsarina to

NEW YEARS DAY IN TOXIC

Celebration of January as the most
important holiday of the year was uni
versal throughout the JapaneAe empire.
From the imperial palace to the hum.
blest habitation of the ''rickshaw" man
there was an observance of the day in
one form or another.
This is the Year of the Horse.
3 AT the palace, his majesty the en-
peror rose before dawn. while the
stars were still shining, and proceeded
at o'clock to the Kashikodokoro (the
shrine in the imperial palace, where
he was vested for the solemn suhse-
quent ceremonial. Prior to that time
masters of divine ceremonies had pre-
pared a floor of light in the sanctuary
AT $3.50 his majesty the emperor, pre-
ceded by Prince Kujo, grand master of
divine ceremonies; Prince Ho, assist
ant master of court ceremonies, and
attended by Marquis Tokugawa, as
sistant TO the grand chamberlain, en-
tered the sanctuary and occupied the
throne seat. The emperor then turned
toward the Grand Shrine of Imperial
Ancestors and bowed to their sacred
spirits. Then his majesty bowed in
four directions to all the gods of heav-
en- and earth, intending a prayer be-
seeching Peace on earth and the tran
/ guilty of the nation" This highly
solemn ceremony is known as Shfho-
hal.
His majesty the emperor then re-
turned to the inner palace and, in ac-
cSrdance with most ancient custom
partook of rice food with plain hot
water. AT 1880 he changed his robes TO
the uniform of commander in chief.
wearing the Grand Gordon of Crysan-
themum of Daikuni rank and other
medals of honor.
Her majesty the empress wore in her
! raven black hair an ornament inlaid
/ with diamond stars. She also had the
medal of the First Rank of Honor. She
/ took her place beside his majesty in
the dining hall, where was served q
state breakfast, consisting of broileC
