THE CONGRESSIONAL ELECTION

The primary election to nominate a
Congressman from the First Congress
sioual distict Of Mississippi will be
held on September 7th. That it is the
duty of every voter to cast his vote all
agree. The more interest taken in
elections and the more voters select
the man best suited to the place the
better service to thepublic will be In
this connection it is well to refer to
the record of our present Congressman
Mr. f. s. Gambler In his long term
of service no opponent of his has ever
been able to seriously question any Y
tarance or vote he has ever cast. THIS
when you think of it, is a wonderful
record and one that is unmatched by
but few who have ever had the honor
to hold a commission from any people
to represent them in congress. Aside
from this splendid record as to his
public duties his gratuitous services
to his constituents in regard to purely
personal matters / believe to be IN
eaualed by any man who ever served
in congress. To attempt to review Mr.
Gamblers record in a newspaper ar
ticle would be fulfil Nothing short Of
"a volume would suffice His work for
the soldier boys and thei@ bereayed
ones is a monument to his ununnS'
energetic and sympathetic nature

 T believe we can put the republican party on the defensive by proposing an immediate compromise, if compro- mise is possible. and, second, by throw = ing the responsibility on the republic ans for immediate action if compromise is impossible
 Asked whether he believed the presi- dent woud approve d compromise set of reservations, MT. Bryan answered: r I do not know that anybody is au- thoriZed to say what the president will accept, and I don't think it is fair to ask in advance what he will accent or for him to suggest changes that would put him where he might be ac- cused of a breach of faith.'

 Boucek arrived in Los Angeles about July 3, the complainant says, and se- cured an apartment downtown. Dur Leods and Mrs. LeBaron and Boucek were frequently in company, and on the night of the fifth the four enjoyed a theater party, after which they re- turned to Boucek's apartments
 After short visit, the complaint recites, MT. McLeods excused himself on the pretext of getting something to eat. Another short time elapsed, and Mrs McLeods also excused herself on the same pretext. After Mrs. Le- Baron and Boucek had been left alone in the apartment, the police raided the same and took the pair into cus- tody, Mir. and Mrs. McLeods directing the raid, the complaint claims.
 Mrs. LeBaron was held by Los Ang- eles police for a period of four days, when she was released, she states.
 All of these things were unknown to husband brought action for divorce on the grounds of cruelty, Mrs. Le- Baron claims in her complaint, asking a modification of the decree. For this reason, she did not contest the action in the superior court here, preferring to accept the courts decision rather than to air the Los Angeles episode and bring disgrace upon herself, her children and her friends and rela- tives.

GIGANTIC POSTOFFICE APPROPRIATIONS BILL PASSES LOWER HOUSE

WASHINGTON, Jan. 15.-The house today passed the appropriation bill pro- viding S460,977,S6S for maintenance of the postoffice department in 1921. The Dill, the largest in the department s history, was $75.7S3,9OO greater than the original estimate to provide for in creaSes in salaries.
 Provisions for continuing the exist ing airplane mail service after July 1 and for its extension were eliminated from the bill on a point of order by Representative Tincher republican, Kansas, who held operation of such service permanently was unwarranted by law. The item carried sS50, 0,500 for purchase of airplanes and the exten- sion of aerial mail routes through the south and to Alaska. Supporters of the aerial mail look to the senate to restore the provisions
 Appropriations for experiments in operation of motor vehicle truck routes and country motor express routes also were eliminated, members arguing that existing methods of mail delivery were adequate.
 Extraordinary increases in prices of supplies and the rapid increase in the volume of business necessitated such a large general appropriation, Chair man Steenerson, Minnesota, of the postoffice committee, said

IRISH PLAY |S GIVEN HEARTY RECEPTION
 AT ELKS' THEATER

Murphy" proved a better name than Montague" in the Del $. Law renee production of Where the River Shannon Flows" played for the first time last night, and all attending found a little bit of Irish deep down in their hearts.
 Laughter and seriousness were equally divided throughout the play and to say that the production was good would be an injustice to the ac- tors, for all present felt every emotion the author meant to produce which is in itself proof as to the ability of the Lawrence company.
 Peggie O'Moore. an Irish lassie played by Velma Steck. was indeed the life of the play. Peggy was fresh from Ireland, and to her a Murphy" or Hogan was the best of friends To love a man even to extreme self sacrifice was true Irish love, and the manner i1 which Peggy lived up to her family traditions constituted the back ground of one of the liveliest plays produced in Phoenix this season

 Friendly to Germans and English
 It was near the Fortuna property, he told the committee, that F.. E. Nor gan was killed in April, 1919, by Mex jeans after having first been tortured. Poorbaugh, in describing one visit he paid to the property. said that general consul at Perto, Mexico. advised him to go into the interior accompanied either by German or an Englishman if he wished friendly treatment by the Mexicans.
 A divergence from the line of testi- mony being taken by the committee was that given by O. G. Compton of San Antonio. He told the story of the Glenn Springs raid in 1916- The Mex jeans crossed the international boun- dary at right, rode nine miles to the little town where the garrison con- sisted of nine American soldiers. These and Compton stood off until daylight the much larger force. but it cost Compton his 5-year-old son, who was shot in his own home, and the lives of three American soldiers.

 stated that the Nebraska senator would be in charge of the treaty on the democratic side.
 After his conference with seEAtors. Mir. Bryan, in a talk with newspaper men, emphasized his belief that large majority of the American people desire immediate ratification. Prompt ac- tion, he said, would accomplish these two results:
 First it would take the question out of politics and permit both parties to turn their attention to very important domestic issues. Second. an agreement would permit ratification by a larger majority than in any other way and that would give the greatest possible weight to our action and influence abroad
 Would Withdraw as Last Resort
 His previously expressed suggestion that the democrats of the senate with hold their votes and let the republicans ratify the treaty with their reserva- tions. Mir. Bryan said. should only be a last resort if compromise negotiations failed.

PRAISES HOLBROOK
 HIGH SCHOOL CORPS

Holbrook's boy soldiers are the orig inal Dead Eye Dicks" of Arizona, ac- cording to Adjutant General w. $. In Salls, who has returned from an in spection visit to the Holbrook high school. He brings with him the chal- lenge of the Holbrook high schools cadet company to outshoot any high school cadet company in the state, any age. any range, or anything else. In gals says he will furnish the am- munition.
 Outstripping all the high school cadet companies in the state for en- thusiasm and fine showing, according to the adjutant general the Hol brook boys are fully uniformed. per fectly drilled. and in his opinion they are "some shooters" He offers no explanation to account for the won derful ability of the desperate dare devil demons of Holbrook. but he in sists that they shot the hole in Hol- brook. and he asserts the belief that no other high school is going to show much interest in their challenge. The Holbrool1 sure shootin' skeeters say they will extend their challenge outside the state if necessary, but that they really would like to get acquainted
 Holbrook is said to be in a sort of a shooting country, containing 15,000 Indians and an equal number of whites, mountains and cattle and sage brush. ancient ruins. modern roads, and incl dentally some of the finest schools in the state.
 The adjutant general is just returned from an inspection trip among the high schools and is going out again probably on Sunday night to inspect some more at Morenci. Douglas, No gales, and Tucson. He reports good showings by the Winslow, Jerome and Prescott high schools.

 General Bliss said that in granting loans. the United States should de mand of the allies that. they provide the Poles with military supplies. It was al this point Secretary Baker told the committee that the allies and the United States were planning to fur nish arms to the Poles.

CHURCH FEDERATION
 LAUDS EFFORTS ID
 STOP PRIZE FIGHT

Commenting the stand of Governor Stevens of California in his opposition to holding the Dempsey Carpenter fight at Tia Juana, the Phoenix Church federation yesterday sent a telegram to the governor as follows:
 Phoenix, January B, 1920.
 To Governor w. D. Stephens,
 Sacramento, California. ~
 At the regular meeting of the
 Phoenix Church Federation today,
 motion was made and unanimously
 carried authorizing secretary to
 send you wire commenting your
 patriotic and high moral stand
 relative to proposed Dempsey Car
 pentier fight to be held across the
 line in Old Mexico We feel sure
 that we represent the vast ma jor-
 ity of our good citizens in this sen
 timent and trust that you may be
 successful in preventing the pro-
 posed fight.
 E. D. RALEY,
 Secretary.
 About 50 members were present when the meeting was called to order yesterday at 12:30 o'clock at the '. NJ. C. A. Dr. Wilkinson was in the chair and made a brief statement concern ing the interests of the Church fedora ton, urging those present to take a more active interest and help increase the attendance. A motion was made and carried to the effect that the fed eration offe- it's assistance as far as practical to the Rotary club in it's eff fort to survey the. city of Phoenix in the interests of the boys and young men. In a few words the chairman intro duced Dr. von KleinSmid. Dr. von k1einSmid took for his, sub Ject ideal church for the community. His address was a clear and earnest appeal to all present to put aside non- essential sectarian interest in denomi- national life and strive o9make the church take it's place in the world in such a practical and vital way that it would supply all the needs of man.
 He asked two questions: Do we believe that there is q need, at the present time, of an organization that will supply the heart needs of man % Do we believe that the Christian church it is organized and functions at the present time is meeting this need?''
 ''Sectarianism has always been in the way of honest men seeking health. De- nominationalism has always stood in the way of progress in the mission field. We have beclouded the mind of the masses by insisting upon the Su- perficial in religion.
 The community has many problems the church should be in a position to take the leadership in solving the com munity problem. Sectarianism has stood in the way. There has been too much of a. distinction between the secred and the secular. In every com- practically the same group of men and women who support the church support all good things in the community. Church property is only used a very small percentage of the time.'

B. F. KEITH'S.

A program of unusual merit is Of
fered this week at Keith's, every num-
Der on the bill receiving several cur
tain calls. The illness of Valeska
Suratt compelled the management to
substitute Nonette, the fascinating
gypsy violinist and singer. This young
lady has been starring in New York
for the past six months but Manager
Robbins succeeded in reaching her and
she was rushed to Washington to take
Miss Suratts place on the bill. Nonette
has improved in her all-around work,
her voice being better than when last
heard here, and her violin playing
possessing genuine maSterful quality.
Last night she offered a program of
varied excellence, which included
Pals" played with a warmth of feel
ing and technique that stamps her as
a true artist
Another added feature was that of
THE Girlies' Club" who gave a tabloid
musical comedy dealing with the suf-
fragettes that was well received, and
made especially funny through the
clever character comedy by Bobbie
Bernard. The costumes are in good
taste and the girls pretty and sing
well.
Henri Scott, the well known grand
opera baritone. scored with a good
voice in selections that pleased the
audience. The Wirth family. in a cir
Gus act. proved something of a sensa- =
ton through the clever bareback rid
ing and acrobatic stunts of May Wirth
