IF THEFTS |S NOW ON IN TEMPE:
 CITIZENS ALARMED

TEMPE, July 5.-Tempe now seems to be full of thieves who seem to be of the boldest and most desperate type. On Sunday evening two robberies oc- cured within few minutes of each other. A few minutes after 9 o'clock MT. and Mrs. F. c. Clark, accompanied by R. Nicely, returned to their home on West Fifth street and after entering the house. which had been securely locked, they discovered a thief in the back part of the house. The man was a we'll dressed Mexican and had ram sacked the entire house, taking the things he desired which consisted of women's wearing apparel, mostly of silk. some silk material which had not been made up and silk dresses.
 These he was packing into a suit case when discovered by Mrs. Clark who called to her husband. who was out at the barn. The man then ran out at the front door followed by MT. Clark and Mir. Nicely and the dog, which bit the Mexican several times. Other close-by neighbors joined in the pursuit-and just as MT. Nicely, who was nearest, came within reaching distance of the thief he threw a large rock, hitting Mir. Nicely on the knee thus disabling him, and the man was lost in the darkness.
 Officers then arrived. but were too late to be of any assistance. The man
 
 to the porch then still being locked out of the house he used a mattock to pry a small window open. Besides the clothes which he had ready to take the only thing he really got away with was a Yale key to the front door which was on a dressing table in one of the bedrooms
 About this time it was discovered that a thief had entered and robbed the home of Mir. and Mrs. Higgins on Maple avenue. only a block away. There he took several of Mrs Higgins dresses and some beads. In the saue building he went into 8 room occu- pied by MT. Brady and took a new $7o suit of clothes. some silk shirts and other articles.
 In the last few days many robberies have occurred in Tempe and thus far with no success in catching any of the thieves. Many citizens are protesting against so many dark corners where the city council has failed to see the need of street lights.
 Special Meeting of Legion
 There will be a special meeting of the American Legion Thursday even- ing at S:30 o'clock to which every member is urged to be present. There are to be the arrangements made for the burial services of the late Joseph w Smith who died in France and whose body will arrive in Tempe in a chosen for the state convention which is to be held in Globe, August 8, 2 and 10.
 Here From Clifton Frank Drollinger came in Saturday night from Clifton to join his wife who has been here for several weeks. MT and Mrs. Drollinger expect to locate some place in the valley.
 Reunion at Botkins A reunion of relatives and old time friends was held at the Botkin home near the creamery Monday. A stump tuous picnic dinner was. served on the lawn.
 Go to Casa Grande MT. and Mrs. Maness and infant son l will leave today for their home ir Casa Grande. after a visit with Mrs Maness' mother. rs. w. H. Botkin.

ADJUSTMENTS
THERE EIS PLENTY IF PUNCH IN THE LAND
 IF OPPORTUNITY

One would naturally expect to find punch" in an Abraham Lincoln pic ture, and there is plenty of it in The Land of Opportunity showing at the Columbia theater, with Ralph lnce, who directed it. in the leading role. The punch is in the patriotic lesson taught.
 Taking Lincoln when he was a rail splitter and a good woman who gave him advice that afterward made him the great man he was. MT. Ince car ries his audience to another period ln the life of the Great Emancipator when he repaid the good dealt to him by stopping in the midst of his warm po- liticaI campaign against Stephen A. Douglas to save the life of the woman's son, who is accused of murder.
 The story is told in retrospect by a waiter at a New York club, who hap pens to be the boy saved by Lincoln. AS a. result of his story a BolSheVlSt, who has been working against the gcv- ernment and the classes, is made to see the error of his way and become good, solid citizen.
 No better portrayal of a Lincoln character has ever been seen than that presented by MT. Ince. Not only is the makeup faithful, but his move ments and expression are in keeping with the Lincoln of the time he rep resents.
 The entertainment features are kept lO the 4IO4iI dI dll tines iuI4llE Lne action. The stage settings showing Lincoln before jury, as a rail splitter and in his greatest campaign, are elab- crate and true to life. Something of this kind is needed just now to curb the radical movement in this country, and the producers seem to have hit upon the right kind of lesson. Henry Lehrman, producer of "A Twi- light Baby" showing at the ColumbIee tneater today declares that one cf the funniest incidents in his experience happened during the production of this picture.
 The night watchman 1t the Lehrrnan studios in Culver City, advertised in all local newspapers to trade h:s big bull pup for any kind of a smaller dog.
 Whats the matter with that bull ?' asked Lloyd (Ham) Hamilton, who with Virginia Rappe is starred in "A Twilight Baby
 T tell you" said the watchman. MY dog--he fights all the time. Some day he lick MT. Lehrman's dog and then | I get fired"
 | Kaufman Weekly issued by Selznick is "The Dictionary of Success" which will be shown at the Columbia theater | for two days beginning today.
 It deals with the subject of suc- cess in a novel manner illustrating by means of Q skillfully devised minia- i ture drama, the devious paths toward l the goal of success, and pointing out the various pitfalls to avoid. It is all in photoplay form. and portrayed by a cast of capable players. The brilliant epigrams of Herbert Kaufman make fascinating sub-titles supplementine the pictures.
 Many prominent players are seen fr the cast, among them being John Suth- l erland, Henry McCauley and others.

Harry Carey at the Hip

Harry Carey in "A Gun Fighting Gentleman" starts his engagement at the Hip today. And what picture fan does not know Harry Carey. This is his first appearance in Phoenix for some time. but when the statement is made that A Gun Fighting Gentle man" carries the same smashing punch" as marks all his pictures that there is the same great adventure element as carefully worked out as in any story he has ever brought to the silver sheet-and that there is the same strong story, the same lightning ac- tion, and the same excellent cast and direction, it's enough guarantee for anyone who ever saw a Harry Carey picture, for they're all strong features, all real entertainments. The engage ment will extend throughout Thurs day

"The Silent Avenqer', at Ramona


 Today is the last appearance of Will Ham Duncan at the Ramona, where he is appearing in the current install ment of his thrilling police serial "The Silent Avenger.'' Bessie Love is on the same program with the talented star, offering lover the Garden Wall" The Ramona is gaining by leaps and bounds in popularity and the handsome playhouse on East Washington street just off Third street-is daily the rendezvous for delighted crowds of pa trons The excellent arrangement, the beauty of appointment, and the com
 fortable and efficient seating plan Is appreciated by every one who visits the Ramona, while the gold fibre screen makes the projection the acme of perfection. Another big item with
 the Ramona is the cooling plant which is responsible for the house being kept at much lower temperature than the
 heated streets-a fact that makes it an ideal place to spend an afternoon or
 evening. Tomorrow will see the J. Stuart Blackton production, Wild Youth" screened at the Ramona in conjunction with a selected comedy.

e.Tbe Toll Gate" at the Strand

With today and tomorrow the last remaining days of the enga cement of William $. Hart appearing at the Strand in "The Toll Gate" the interest of Phoenix maintains at the highest point in this picture, which it has been agreed is the finest work William $. Hart has ever done for the picture lovers. It is a human story-human in every foot of it-human in the plot, in the unfoldment, and in the tremendous cIimaxes which Hart builds up with lightning rapidity. It is western drama-but not the shoot 'em up" kind which rely on the sensational rather than on the story. 'The Toll Gate" is a logical story, magnificently told, elegantly directed and wonderful ly produced. The scenic beauty is per haps more pronounced than anything Hart has previously done. The added attractions are the comedy, 'The Great Nickel Robbery" and the Pathe News, with the Prizma on the same program.

Riverside Park

Riverside park announces q novelty for the attraction at the ballroom this coming Friday night. It will be a con test of loud shirtwaists. The men have had their fling at the noisy wearing apparel in the recent contest for the loudest shirt, and the ladies' chance is this week.

Again, there are no strings on the offer. Simply put on the loud shirtwaist, go down to River side park Friday night, and 'get in on the money" The dance will be given tonight as usual at the ballroom, where King Brady will be on hand with his jazz band to furnish the music.

COLONEL BAYLOR is
OUT FOR GOVERNOR
MAN WHO RAISED RUCUS IN
APRIL SAYS HE is RUNNING
AS A DEMOCRAT.

ATLANTA, Ga.-Colonel Henry
B. Baylor, of Sans Souci Castle, 20
Bedford Place, Atlanta, Ca, U. S. A,
Virginian by birth, a civil engineer
by profession, an Albanian by adop-
ton and a politician betimes, here
with and hereby announces himself
a candidate for governor of Georgia
in the Forthcoming general election.
"No stree, not as an independent
candidate" he replied to a question
as to party affiliations. II am running
as a democrat"
The colonel is the gentleman who
caused the rucus about President
Wilson's name on the ballot of the
Georgia preferential primary held
last April. 1t will be recalled that the
democratic subcommittee on rules
promulgated a rule that the name of
"any democrat eligible for the office
of president" could be placed upon
the ballot by petition of 100 or more
citizens. 1t will be recalled that sew
eral hundred citizens put the name
of Herbert Hoover on the ballot and
had him ruled out by the sub-com-
mittee. 1t will also be recalled that
the name of President Wilson was
also placed upon the ballot, and was
not ruled out, and was not removed
by the president when asked for an
expression.
Later his name was taken down
bv withdrawal of the signatures of
several citizens who signed the pc
tition, and it developed that National
Committeeman Clark Howell had
gotten very busy at the eleventh
hour to avoid embarrassment, and
suggested to these citizens the with
drawal of their names.
Then Colonel Baylor came dashing
upon the stage with documents in his
hand and walls Of protest upon his
lips. He was the man, he informed
the subcommittee who started the
petition; and he did not do it without
authority, for the president had writ
ten him giving his consent; and he
formally protested the entire prefer
entail primary on the ground that it
had not been held in accordance with
the rules. The subcommittee squelch-
ed him.
Now Colonel Baylor is back in the
arena, running for governor in the
general election.

COLUMBUS DIvINES
IN SPIRITED FARLEY
SOME ADVOCATE ASSUMING A
DISGUISE TO DISCOVER THE
CONDITIONS IN CITES.

COLUMBUS, Ga.-Columbus min
listers are divided on the question as
to whether the church is responsible
for moral conditions in a communi-
ty.
At the monthly session of the Min
isterial Union Monday afternoon the
question was discussed at length, the
leader being Rev. w. X. Dennis, pas
tor of st. Paul's Methodist church.
He took the position that the church
was solely responsible, and that it
should accept this responsibility and
speed up activities in the interest of
the young life of the city.
Rev. j. w. Rucker, pastor of the
Rose Hill Baptist church, took issue
with the Methodist pastor, saying
that the minister was not an officer
of the law, but a leader of men, Gre
ating a sentiment against bad NOR
ais. His contention was that a man
cannot be very immoral in an atmos-
phere of spirituality, and that the
churches ought to lead the way by
example only.
Rev. J. M. Glenn, of the Alabama
conference, declared that ministers
ought to disguise themselves and
learn something of the conditions of
the average city so as to be in posi-
ton to act wisely in the matter of
fighting immortality. He declared that
the average pastor wasn't posted on
existing conditions, certainly not
those in the larger cities He was in
clined to the belief that the church
was responsible and that it ought to
assert itself.
DR.. l. S. McElroy, pastor of the
First Presbyterian church, took the
position that the ministers ought to
know the condition in city so as to
be in position to fight for the right
He said the theory advanced by Rev:
DIR Rucker didn't go far enough, and
he declared that the church must deal
with public problems as they ARISE.
Rev. Paul Muse declared that If the
church wasn't responsible for the
morals of the community he didn't
know just who was.
The discussion wasn't concluded
and it was announced that it Will be
further considered at the next reg
ular meeting of the ministers union.
Meantime, it is limited that a WIS,
ting committee" may be disguised
and sent out con a hike" some night
very soon.

states, through their boards of en-
tomology, to impose a police quaran-
tine next year preventing the plant
ing of an acre of cotton. by this ac-
ton, the commissioner states, the
boil weevil will be exterminated
throughout the south.
Says "Hell Will Break Loose"
Prediction that "hell is going to
break loose" unless the federal re-
serve board renders financial assist
ance to the farmers was made at the
cotton conference in Washington on
Thursday by Charles S. Barrett, of
Georgia, president of the National
Farmers Union. This statement,
fairly shouted by Mr.. Barrett fol-
lowed adoption of resolutions for a
reduction in cotton acreage and 9TH
er resolutions condemning the price
defation policy of the reserve banks
board and Secretary Houston.
The special cotton committee pre-
scented at the meeting a startling res
olution calling for no cotton produc-
ton whatever next year unless there
is a change in conditions. This pro-
posal was finally defeataed and a
substitute adopted for reduced acre
age brought about by "a binding le-
gal contract among farmers and
not by mere pledge.
Urges Them to Stick.
LET me tell you," said President
Barrett, after adoption of various
resolutions of protest, eff there is
not a change hell will be to pay and
don't you forget it. l am not a radi-
cal. I'm a conservative, an optimist.
A man is fool to try to warn
anybody, but | warn you that hell is
going to break loose unless we do
something here, and l say let her
come"
President Barrett told the dele
gates it was senseless merely to
adopt resolutions and go home. He
urged that everybody stick I'M

en- assurances of relief for agricul-
ture.

LANDLORDS JOLT
THE CONGRESSMEN
PROFITEERING MAY CAUSE RE-
MOVAL OF SOME DEPART
MENTS TO NEARBY CITIES.

WASHINGTON, D. C.-Congress-
men whose rents are being increased
this fall along with the rents of al
most everyone else in the capital, are
wrathful at what they charge is a
united effort on the part of property
owners to guuge the public.
Decided action is promised when
congress meets this December.
May Move Congress.
Representative Julius Kahn, who is
having trouble in finding a place to
live, suggests the session of congress
might be held in Baltimore, Phila-
delphia, or some other near city.
81 have been thinking over the
proposition of having congress meet
some place outside of Washington"
Kahn said today, eff the tactics being
pursued here with tenants are con-
tinued l have discussed the matter
with Senator Borah, but only in
formally.
''Of course we would have to meet
in some city close to Washington that
department heads could reach within
a few hours, so they could be in
touch with congress"
Or Move Departments.
Senator Kenyon believes some of
the departments should be moved
from the city, thereby lessening the
demand for houses.
Rent increases, which are general,
range are from 25 to rs per cent.
Landlords unblushingly asking $75 to
500 for single furnished room,
sometimes without BATH. and
double that or more for tiny house
keeping apartments.
Nj. o. Chance, city postmaster, is
collecting data from his carriers, who
are setting up loud wall Their
pay was increased by congress, but
the landlords have absorbed it.
