repeatedly complained to tho board OF
directors Of the organization about
members who had accused him of being
a German spy, friend of the Kaiser
and sympathizer with the German
cause
He swore that these complaints never
had been acted upon by the board. and
was somewhat surprised when Warren
Clarke Van Slyke. counsel for the
twentyfour defendants, informed him
that Mr.. Van lille had been suspende ed
from the club as result Of the COM
plant he had made.
Surprise for Kegerreis
kegerreis was not inclined to believe
this until the lawyer produced the min
utes of a meeting of the board held
June II, 1918, in which Van Zile's sus-
pension pending investigation of the
Kegerreis charges was recorded. This
was the meeting at which the COM
plainant himself was suspended.
Asked to explain just how his treat
ment in the club had done him 100000
worth Of injury, Kegerreis said:
MY reputation and career as an
actor was not injured by the insults
of any one man but by the way in
which | was treated by the officers of

to ignore me and found it impossible
to obtain position.
THE allegations made against me
had wrecked my nerves and / was act
ually afraid to 60 home in the dark
When l did 60 home / could not sleep
and used to toss in my bed all night
long wondering what had done to earn
the insults that had been heaped upon
me.
Each one of the twenty-four defend
ants was my personal friend at one
time, but not one of them is now"
Cross-examined by Mr. Van Slyke the
actor said he did not know that the
board Of directors had dropped his
complaints in the Van lille matter be-
cause the latter had apologized and the
apology had not been accepted.
He didn't apologize to me until three
weeks after he had insulted me-" said
Kegerreis.
Apology for Skinner
When did Mr.. Otis Skinner ioin the
band of conspirators against you?" Mr.
Van Slyke asked.
II think I owe Mr.. Skinner an apol-
ogy,' was the answer. 81 only named
him in the suit because he was a mem
Der of the board of directors during
the time I was making my complaints.

Mr.. Skinner did not enter the con-
spiracy."
Kegerreis then was asked when John
Drew entered the conspiracy, and he
replied that the latter had been named
simply because he was a member of the
board Of directors.
do you remember the presentation
to the Players by Captain Cosmo Ham
ilton, of the Royal Flying Corps, Of a
certain SHELF" the actor was asked.
He admitted that he did, and was
then shown letter written to the
board Of directors of the Players. He
confessed that he was it's author. The
letter, which was read into the record,
Is as follows:
Board of Directors, the Players Club.
"Gentlemen-As a member of the
Players Club l consider it altogether
right that l should place my love and
loyalty for the Players Club above the
respect or love for any member or off,
GER Of the Players Club.
"The Players publishes for its mem
bers annually booklet containing the
officers Of the club, constitution, deed
of gift and all other information neces-
sary to members.
"rhe motto that greets the members
and guests as they enter the main
NAIL, attributed co our INDUSTRIOUS bene-
factor, Edwin Booth, follows:
'Goode friend for Friendships sake forbear
To utter what Is gossipt here
In social chat. lest unawares.
Thy tonge offend thy fellow Plaiers"
Through the effervescent and
thoughtless conduct of member Of
the board of directors the club ethics
have been violated.
Gift of Shell Protested
"For the privilege or honor, know
not which, Of addressing us on The
Zeppelin Mr.. Cosmo Hamilton has
presented the Players with a she'll, the
first, he says, to be fired at Zeppe-

personification of love and peace, turn
over in his grave. Let us stop right
here.

Democrats Will
Train Orators
On League Issue
Hitchcock Will Be Dean of
School To Be Opened Here
So That All Cox Speakers
Will Tell Same Story
Shows Nominees Stand
Republicans to Advertise
for Campaign Funds in
Newspapers of Country
By Carter Field

FROM The Trsbune's WASHINGTON, Burcou
WASHINGTON, Aug 24.-So that the
same story about the League of Nations
fight will be told at all Democratic
mass meetings as the campaign warns
Up, q school for league orators will be
opened in New York in few days. The
dean of the school will be Senator Gil
bert n. Hitchcock, of Nebraska. who
led the fight for ratification of the
Wilson league without reservations in
the Senate.
This IS the second time that Mr..
Hitchcock's line of thought about the
peace treaty--a line which has never
brought the objection from President
Wilson that Mr.. Hitchcocks mind did
rot run along with" his-has been
held up to the country as the Cox view
Of the league issue. The previous oc-
casion was when Governor Cox asked
Senator Hitchcock to take the Demo
crauc 7artys end of League of Ma
tons debate at Winona Lake, Ind.
Republicans to Advertise
AEOiutI dSNtlOpmeUC IN tO-QayS pD-
litical news is that the Republican Ma
tional Committee is about to begin adj
vertising for campaign contributions in
the newspapers throughout the coun-
try. The copy has been prepared and
is about to be issued. The advertising
will be placed principally in the smaller
cities and towns, rather than in the
metropolitan centers.
Although this move was planned be-
fore Governor Cox began his onslaught
against the alleged $4,000, 900 Republi-
can slush fund, it is thought bv Re
publicans that it will be an effective
answer
Tie copy is to tell the truth of the
situation, which is along the line that
the contributions have not been coming
IN under the $1,000 limitation as rap
IDLY as is absolutely necessary to
finance the campaign, even on the linz
tied plan proposed by Chairman Will
H. Hays, which would reach a total
expenditure Of about $4,000
The point is said to be that prac-
tically all Of the men and women who
have contributed $1,000 or who have
promised 70 90 so are persons who in
past campaigns cheerfully gave much
more than that. While there are some
who have not hitherto contributed at
all. the total so far does not count I'D
10 anything like the necessary figures
Mr.. Hays, Colonel William Boyce
Thompson, chairman of the Republi-
can Ways and Means Committee, and
other Republican leaders are repre-
sented as anxious to put the campaign
over without raising the $1,000 limit,
and the plan has been devised of tax
ing the people out in the country into
inc party's confidence as to the fnan-
eial dilemma and asking them to sub
scribe.

Printing Facts


There is tendency to leave out
the vertical rules in tabular work.
When this is done it is often pos
slble to set tables on the linotype.
Even when tabular work is done
on the monotype there is con-
siderable economy in leaving out
the vertical rules. Sometimes
they make for easier reading; but
where clearness is possible without
them considerable saving can be
effected by emitting them.

Wears Off
Special Dispatch to The Tribune

BALTIMORE, Aug. 24.-Cardinal
Gibbons to-day said he believed that
only very small percentage of
American women would exercise the
right Of franchise after the novelty
had worn off.
The Cardinal deprecated the feml-
nine transition from the old order of
things, saying:
~ regret very much that the women
have taken the plunge into the deep.
I would much prefer that things had
remained rs they we're. I am, how
ever, of the opinion that, after the
first election or/so, only small per-
centage of the women of the country
will avail themselves of the privilege
Of voting"
In answer to question he said:
CAT this time it would be difficult
to say what effect the change will
have upon the morals of the country"

KIDNEY HOOCH HAS
 A DAY IN COURT

The case of H. w. Miller, proprietor of the Commercial pool hall for selling kidney hooch with an eighteen pel cent kick was tried before Justice Easley last Tuesday
 Attorney Ferguson for the defense and Attorney Greer for the state, spared for two hours over the testi- mony; one of the main contentious of the defense being that the hooch OF exhibition on the table was not the hooch that Miller sold to his kidney sufferers, but Greer finally won the court to believe that the hooch on ex- hibit was the same hooch Miller sold only different, and he was bound owe; to the superior count in the sum of $500.
 While not desiring to give this mys- terious hooch any free advertising, we recommend it highly for those who have anything on their chests they desire to forget, such as political blight, overdue bills, etc., for those witnesses who had access to it could not even remember the day of the week or who was present at the big demonstration had a vague, misty remembrance only of their as sociations with K. B. L.-which Mill CT did not know stood for kicks, bonds and lawyers.

SCOTTSTHE FAVORTTE
 FOR THE SENATE

There is probably not another man in Navajo county who is so well and favorably known, and especially to the old-timers, the men who pioneer ed the now prosperous county, ar James Scott, of Pinedale, candidate for state senator.
 He has held many positions of trust in the county and discharged them in most creditable and efficient man ner to himself and to his constitu- ents.
 He is equipped by education and ex- perience in public affairs and needs to creditably handle the county's import ant interests in the upper house of the legislature.
 A man who is known from one end of the county to the other, and held in the highest esteem by every resi- dent of the county; and for the veal of Arizona, Navajo county and your own personal interests, without re- gard to party ties, you cannot do bet ter than to lend your support and vote to the cause of piling up a handsome tribute to your friend and neighbor- a man who, if elected, will know no class-but will see to it that Navajo county will get all that is coming to her in the next legislature.

BIG EXCITEMENT
 AMONG OIL MEN

The following grapevine special to The News from "Petrifcado," the special geologist for The News, sta- toned at Adamana, will make good copy for the professional lease hounds and oil stock brokers that have ex- perienced Hull for the past few days:
 "The Pinta Petroelum and Land company, although the very latest to invade our district, has outdistanced all of the others in developing oil and a market therefor, as I have been re- liably informed that the Santa Fe oil burning engines are taking oil at Pinta regularly. I have not made a scientific examination of this oil, but MT. Gotma Goetz, one of the oldest engineers on the road, says that the
 fireman says that it compares very favorably with the California product, being especially free from asbestos" |"

JACK WHITE FOR
 MINE INSPECTOR

Outside of Governor Campbell, who is known far and wide, it is doubtful if any Arizona candidate for state office enjoys g. wider acquaintance ship than big Jack White, Republi- can nominee for state mine inspec- tor.
 Because of his lifelong activity in the mining and general development of Arizona, Jack has come to be re- garded as one of the prominent fig ures of the southwest, and this is at- tested in an editorial comment which appeared the other day in the Fl Paso Herald. It read:
 As Others See Him.
 "Arizona's Republicans are forum ate in the selection of Jack White, former sheriff of Cochise county, as their candidate for mine inspector. MT. White is miner of long expert ence. Also he is known and liked all over the state, as Democratic papers admit. As head of the state employ ment bureau he satisfied employer and employe alike. If the voters of Ari- zona will elect him, Mir. White un- doubtedly will make good.
 Like a Romance.
 Jack Whites biography reads like a romance. He gave it to a reporter for this newspaper about as follows:
 q came to Arizona in 1874 when was eight years old. My father was in the army at the time and we lived at Fort McDowell until 1880 when we moved to Tempe. Then we moved to Phoenix and was in school the1e for a couple of years doing janitor work at the old Central school building to

SECOND COMING OF CAMERON
 THE SAVIOR OF ARIZONA Q

Ralph Cameron and party held the boards at the Pastime matinee last Monday afternoon, and if it had been an honest to goodness movie there would have probably been more seats warmed up.
 It has been said that all the motion picture lacks is human speech-but that's all a deaf and dumb asylum lacks.
 The Pastime had the human speech, all right, Monday, and also the nine voters were there that marked a ballot for Cameron at the primaries and about that many besides.
 Cameron is sure enough "go-get- ter" as advertised, and he told the faithful few how he had built the Angel toll road in the Grand Can yon" for the benefit of the state; how he carried the Arizona rabbits foot with triumph to Washington and put the statehood bill through with an alacrity that made the old mossback congressman stand aghast.
 He told us in a dramatic manner how he had visited Harding's front porch, and that Harding had entered into a compact with him, providing, that if only he, Cameron, was elected, said Harding would stand behind any promise or promises that he, Cam eron, saw fit to make to help along his campaign, or in other words that Uncle Sam had millions for Cameron, but not one red cent for Smith.
 He pointed to. the wall and drew mental picture of the dreamland that only he had up his sleeve for Arizona when he got the harness adjusted to the now wasted waters of the wild
