Lesson In Banking To Be Conducted for
 One J. Allen, Colored

James Allen, colored, believes that banking should be regarded as speculative business, and it is to be determined in Justice wheeler's court Thursday whether that view IS to be sustained. Allen had a say lngs account with a balance of $40 III the National Bank of Arizona. A day or two ago he called at the bank to sever his relations with that in sututlon and offered his pass book. It was taken by a teller. who. hay ing ascertained the balance or who thought he had ascertained if. paid Allen $50.
 Allen took the money home and when the mistake was discovered and a demand was made upon him for the return of the excess, he de- cllned to believe that the bank had vested interest in the surplus funds.
 No sah," said Allen. If you all had made d mistake an ggive me only $20 instid of fohty, an I come pack and say see heay, you all done make a mistake and short paid me twenty dollahs, would I git, my money? l guess not. WheY a bank makes mistake it stands like the laws of the Mejums an the Per shums"
 Thereupon the bank caused a warrant to be issued for the arrest of Allen. charging him with hay ing obtained $40 by means of fraudulent representation.

"Danaerous Girl" Matinee Today

The first matinee of the new play at the EIks theater will be given today by the Del s. Lawrence company. It is new and breezy comedy drama, very cleverly named, "A Dangerous Girl, and a more apt title could not have been selected. If Monday and Tuesday nights audiences are a criterion, then the usual big Wednesday afternoon crowd today will be well repaid for their trip to the Washington street play house.
 The hit of the play is the "Girp of course, being cleverly interpreted by Miss Nelma Steck.
 MT Lawrence also causes many hearty laughs as the ready witted Danny" an inventor who never in vents and his comedy and stage by play shows the value of long experience. Quite the surprise of An Dangerous Girl" is Miss Georgia Mintz, the young Phoenix girl, who as Marion Kingsley. a working girl, delighted her most ar dent admirers and acquitted herself in manner to make many professionals take notice.
 "A Dangerous Girr' will romp for our pleasure the balance of this week, with matinees on Saturday and Sun- | day, new time at 2:30 and evening per | formances being at S:30 new time.

 VALLEY, J. $. SENATOR TELLS K|WAN|S CLUB

Phoenix is On the eve of a great in- dustrial advancement if all the inter ests unite in putting forward and ad- vertising to the world the many re- markable products of the Salt River Valely, declared United States Senator Marcus A. Smith, who was the prin- cipal speaker at the regular Tuesday luncheon yesterday of the Kiwanis club which was held at the Rose Tree
 Sem tor Smith spoke in particular of the long staple cotton which is pro- duced in this valley and stated that it was admitted by experts at Washing ton to be the very best cotton grown. He told of competitive experiments made by army experts and of it's selec- tion for the manufacture of balloon cloth and for use in the manufacture of airplanes.
 Himself a pioneer in the Salt River Valley, Senator Smith spoke of early days in Arizona and contrasted the state at that time with its present ad vancement. The speaker went on record as favoring the early return of the railroads to private ownership. Another speaker at the luncheon was Milton Carlson, a handwriting expert who happens to be in Phoenix as a witness in a federal court case Mir Carlton made an interesting address or the subject of handwriting and of the study made in the detective of forgery More than 90 members of the Xii wanis club were at the luncheon George E.

ARIZONA LEADS IN
 VOCATIONAL WORK

The Arizona representatives to the second annual conference for voca- tional education have returned, and re- port one of the best educational con- ferences they have attended.
 The conference was highly valuable to those who are trying to advance the cause of vocational training" said Di- rector Colodny. Arizona was shown to have the most liberal legislation to aid vocational training of any state in the Pacific section, and to have larger percentage-50 per cent-of her schools offering Smith-Hughes classes than any other state represented at the con- ference"
 The conference made a number of recommendations to the federal board, among which was one asking that fed eral funds under the Smith Hughes act be used for the teaching of lan- guages in connection of vocational training, so that pupils could be taught the languages they might have 10 em- ploy in the work for which they are being fitted.
 The next conference will be held at Salt Lake City, will be five days in length instead of three, and subse- quent conferences will be held in other states represented.

.O|L WELL DERR|CKS
 |. GODOWN IN FRONT OF GREAT TEXAS STORM

Last weeks big wind storm did much damage in Texas, and the least of which was the damage done to the big derricks in the new oil well districts. These derricks being erected by the hundreds are tall and naturally suf- fered much. The storm damage last Wednesday ran into s250,00o.
 The Magnolia Petroleum company's offices at Dallas received information yesterday that at least 20 of its rigs in the Burkburnett field had been de- stroyed. There are, perhaps. from 750 to 1000 rigs in that section of the state, and there may have been several hun dred of them blown down during the storm.
 One unofficial report from Wichita Falls received was to the effect that 300 rigs were known to have been wrecked. An expense of from $l,000 to s1,5O0 each will be entailed in repair ing these wrecked rigs.
 The tornado which swept the North Central Texas oil fields does not appear to have extended as far south as Ranger as no storm damage of any consequence has been reported from that section.
 The Buckley derrick No. 1 was badly damaged, but reconstruction will re- quire but a few days. Buckley derrick No. ?, was not damaged at all Among the wrecked rigs of the Mag nolia Petroleum company the following are known to have been lost: $. D. Fowler, Nos. l, 8, and 10; Fowler Oil | company, Nos. ' and Il; Magnolia Fowler, Nos. and 8: Van Cleave, Nos. 1S and 15; Katy, Nos. and 5; Hardin l Bros, Nos. and 6.
 Producing in the Burkburnett is now running 54,000 barrels per day.

 BUSINESSES NUISANCE CASE That his court was without Jurisdiction in the public nuisance action brought by Mrs. Matilde Boeres against Mrs. Anna Basor, who was charged with dumping refuse on the premises of property on East Fillmore street, was the ruling made by Justice Wheeler yesterday after a conference between county and city officials. The position maintained by the city court in cases of violation of the city ordinances in seeking to abate a nuisance rather than to prosecute a defendant was brought out in the case, while on the other hand the state sought to try the case strictly on law points.

ATTORNEY GENERAL
 SAYS NEW LAW ]. K.

Attorney General Jones has ren- dered an opinion at the request of Gov ernor Campbell, on the legality of Sec ton 27 of Senate Bill 19, which pro- vides that the law shall go into effect July. l.
 This is the law doing away with the commission of state institutions and substituting therefor board of direc- tors.
 Most laws, by constitutional provi- sion, go into effect 90 days from pas sage, but Jones holds that this pro vision is not bar to the bill carrying a provision putting it into effect at a date subsequent to 90 days.
