his father as guardian of his inherit

These little children need strong,

Because these little children are in

Because if we do not restore them
to health and strength now they will
become a burden to the community in

society and a reproaCh to the heart

Because there are widows and
many poor families where their deep
poverty precludes their chance to
have hospital treatment necessary to

Because some of us have crippled

Last of .The Red Lanterur

The conflict of a soul burdened with the traditions, the prejudices and the emotions of two races is the story told in Nazimovas great master spectacle, "The Red Lantern which will be Of fered at the Columbia theater for the last times today.
 The Red Lantern" is truly colossa when it is judged by the combination oi the supreme artistry Of it's brilliant star and by the sumptuOus environment provided for her and her supporting cast. It has the added value Of being based upon one of the most talked of novels of the decade. "The Red Ian tern,'' romance of the ancient city ot Pekin from the pen of Edith Wherry.
 The total cost of producing the Red Lantern" was, in round figures, s40o.- 900. The time required to make it was six months and r days, 19 weeks in ac- tual production and seven weeks and three days devoted to elaborate re- search work carried out by June MSth is and Albert Capeliani, who made the screen adaptation and scenario in order to insure absolute accuracy in the mat ter of Chinese life and customs. In this they were aided by several assistant librarians of Los Angeles and Hollywood, so that before scene was photographed, they had amassed a wealth of material that assured au- thenticity in every detail and also sug gested many bits of quaint business. throwing truthful sidelights on the characters of the inhabitants of the an cient capital of China.
 The Red Lantern is unquestionably one of the big film plays of the screen. It is equal in size to many of the biz super plays of former years and is de clared to be Nazimovas greatest un dertaking. There will be five complete shows today, starting at 2:15 and con tinuing until Il o'clock without inter
 ruption.
 A Strand comedy is the augmentine feature for today only.
 Tomorrow, Laughing Bill Hyde a Rex Beach story starring William Rog
 CTS will be the feature.

Announcement of the sale of the E. S. Wakelin Grocer Co. of Phoenix to Haas Baruch and Co.,, of Los Angeles was made yesterday by w. w. Ed wards, manager of the company. Grange of management will take place July 1, when MT. Wakelin will retire to devote his time to the Citizens State Bank of Five Points, of which he is president.
 No changes in administration of business affairs will take place for a time at least" said W. D. Berry, head O. the Haas Baruch and Co.,, interests in Arizona, Yesterday. 'J. M, Taggett, connected with our sales force, will re- main with us as heretofore. MT. Ed wards will be connected with the or ganization in practically the same ca pacity as at present"
 The company's office at 8 South Center street will be discontinued after July 1, MT. Berry added, when it will be installed at the wholesale grocery, corner of Fifth avenue and Jackson street.
 The E. S. Wakelin Grocer Co.,, organ ized in February, 1899, is one of the oldest business houses in Phoenix. Es- tablished first as both a retail and wholesale house, it continued for 10 years as a store in the Fleming block, now occupied by the Phoenix Savings Bank and Trust Co.
 The grocery was then moved to the corner of the O'Neill block, and for five years it rensained there. In 1913 the present building was constructed, and the company thereafter engaged in the wholesale grocery business exclusively.
 W. w. Edwards, present manager, assumed control in 1910, after the death Of L. Lachance, and has ably conducted the business through a remarkably successful period.

In each issue was some reference to Mines, and particular exception was taken by the state to copy of June [ in which was a paragraph with reference to Rutherford's submarine act which was connected up with the case.

 Word Interpreted
 Laney then called witnesses 10 the stand to give their interpretation oi the article in which Mines was re ferred to sa degenerate. Struck meyer insisted that Dunbar was re sponsible only for the language useo and no more and that a newspapel editor could not be crucified by the definition of a word by an individual while the dictionary gave a different meaning. The court ruled with the state, and Ralph Rollins, newspaper man, was called to the stand. NIT Rollins interpreted the article to refel to NIr. Mines, but he was not asked to define degenerate, which was left {, Ben Pierce of the state highway de partment, the next witness for the state.
 NIT. Pierce stated that he knew thai the article in the paper referred to the governors secretary and that it was casting slurs at MT. Mines. He saio while degenerate might mean deterio- ration. the manner in which 1t was used in this instance to his mind meant moral degenerate, and he had so heard l it discussed on the street by others ] who read the article. His comments l on the side relative to the Weekly newspa per caused many laugh in the ] cnnrt rOOm.

JURY FAILS T0
 AGREE IN CASE IF NINA WAGNER
After Seven Hours and Standing 10 for Acquittal and Two for Conviction, They Are Discharged by Court

After deljberating seven hours jury in Judge Stanford's court was dis charged for failure to agree in the case of the state versus Nina Wagner, harged with the larceny of S1,000 in cash and s1,700 in Liberty bonds claimed by W. D. Thornton. Immed- lately after Foreman Bell informed the court that it was impossible to arrive at a verdict and the jury was dis missed Robert J2rrott, assistant eoun- Iy attorney asked that the case be re set. Objection was made by G. s. Gun bingham for the defense who stated that a new panel would not be called during the hot weather months.
 'I ask at this time for the defendant to be released on her own recogniz- ence,' said MT. Cunningham.
 Judge Stanford stated that in view of the fact the calendar was crowded until August and the case could not be tried until fall, he would let the matter stand as it was, committing Mrs. Wagner to the Crittenden Home. He intimated that the nature of the case would not warrant it taking any more of the courts time.
 Ten For Acquitta
 The court offered an explanation of his taking the case out of the hands of counsel and placing it with the jury, which he said was not done with diSre- "pect to the bar, but to teach counsel a lesson. He stated that there was still q witness for either side and arguments to be submitted, but that when none of the five counsel engaged in the case appeared in court at the hour set, he offered the instructions
 The state was represented in the ac- ton by County Attorney l.. M. Laney and Assistant County Attorney Robert 1arrott while the defense counsel in- cluded R. H. Brumbach, Spencer B Pugh and G. s. Cunningham.
 The balloting from the beginning stood 10 for acquittal and for con riction.
 Comes to Abrupt Close
 The case came to an abrupt close al ) o'clock yesterday when the fate of the girl defendant was placed in the hands of the jury without counsel being per nitted to argue the case. When the Hoon hour arrived, Judge Stanford stated that an hours recess would bt taken, and when court convened nei- fher the states attorneys nor attor.
