ORPHEUS FOUR ADDS ID LAURELS WITH
 FINE CONCERT HERE

Bringing to Phoenix a program of male quartette music, which for broadness in scope and excellent ren- dition has not been equalled in the memory of even the. old-timers. the Orpheus Four. the official quartette of the Orpheus Club of Los Angeles, sang to a capacity audience last night at the big chautauqua tent.
 This quartette, which is considered in many circles the finest male quar- tette in the entire country, arrived in Phoenix yesterday after a stren- uous trip from Nogales by automobile and train- It immediately went on,' presenting a program yesterday af- ternoon. and after three hours rest, appeared again at o'clock last night.
 The Orpheus Quartette is com posed of Samuel B. Glasse, first tenor: Paul F. Adams, second tenor and accompanist; William C. Wells, baritone, and Werner A. Campbell. bass.
 The program last night consisted of several groups of songs both in en- sen1ble and in solo. The wonderful quality of the quartette work was apparent in spite of the long ride yesterday and the dust and dirt within the tent, as well as a badly run down piano.
 The program consisted of six sets of songs, three to each set, by the ensemble, and soloists: three humor- ous piano selections by W. G. Wells; and ensemble of Annie Laurie. Dudley Bucks arrangement being used; Somewhere a Voice Is Calling, (Tate) tenor solo by S. B. Glasse; a bag pipe imitation by the ensemble; the sextette from Lucia, and The Long Day Closes, (Sullivan), a sacred se- lection, and the Soldiers Chorus from Faust.
 Two songs of a group of three were composed by s. E. Glasse, and sung by the composer last night, each number bringing prolonged applause. These two selections were That's When I'll Forgive. and My Best Pal Is a Little Southern Gal
 Altogether 40 numbers were ren- dered, an unusually long program ac- cording to the quartette, who exerted themselves to give to Phoenix an ex- ceptionally comprehensive program The members of the quartette have left warm impression on the people Of Phoenix, and many were the con gratulations rendered them after the program. They will sing in Mesa today, returning to Phoenix late this afternoon

OFFER PLAN TO BUILD COUNTY
 CEMENT PLANT
Supervisors To Hold Spe- cial Meeting Today To Consider the Proposal From c. of c. and Los Angeles Men

4 proposition to start a cment plant in Phoenix through the aid of county funds was presented to the board of supervisors yesterday by committee from the chamber of com merce and representative of a ce- ment plant in Los Angeles. After listening to the proposal of the com mittee the board said they would take the matter up at s:S0 o'clock this morning
 The committee proposed that the board of supervisors pass resolution authorizing the issuing of .S3o0,00 in county bonds to aid in the erection of a s600,000 cement plant in Phoenix. They told the board the company, if formed, would agree to furnish the county with cement al a price not to exceed 50 cents a barrel over the cost of production until the $300,000 furnished by the county had been re- paid. After that, they said, the com pany would agree to furnish the county cement at a price not to ex- ceed 50 cents barrel over the cost of production for the next 99 years.
 The committee stated that their plan was to build the plant in Phoe- nix and to bring limestone from the limestone mountain near Winkelman with which to make the cement. Gyp- sum, a necessary artieie in the mak- ing of cement, they said, was also found near Winkelman Guy l.. Yer non, chairman of the board, told the committee that he was not sure that the law would permit the county to enter into such an arrangement and was not sure that the law would permit the issuing of bonds for such an enterprise. The matter would have +o be put up to the county attor- \ry's office. he said.

ORGAN RECITAL IS
 PLEASURE ID MANY

An appreciative audience greeted Mrs. Blanche Port Runyon last night in he rfourth organ recital at the First Methodist Episcopal church. Mrs. Runyons pedal work was par ticularly well executed in the choral variations of the Mendelssohn sonata.
 Her rendition of the bridal music from Lohengrin will remain long in the memory of those who heard it last evening. Her playing of the Men delssohn wedding march portrayed all the stateliness and joyousness which the composer combined in this well loved composition. HandePs Largo" a favorite with music low CTS, held a high place in the hearts of those who heard Mrs. Runyon's rendition last evening.
 Mrs. Runyon was ably assisted by quartet from the First Methodist church choir, the personnel of which was James H. Hughes, tenor; Marion Whiteman, soprano; Islay Rogers, contralto. and Eard E. Ronseberry, basso. The quartet gave two num- bers, Dickenson's For All Who Watch" and 70 Paradise" from Meyerbeer's "Africaine."

that the rest of Southern avenue was paved.
 The controversy between the su- pervisors and Allen began several weeks ago when it was discovered that Aliens predecessors had built fence in the middle of the road which the supervisors in 1892 has mapped out The original road was made 66 feet wide and has been paved as such until the land of Allen was reached where the road narrowed to B feet. The matter finally went to litigation and Judge Stanford in the superior court recently held that the land is not a public highway
 Since then the supervisors have been trying to reach an agreement with Allen as to the price to be paid for the strip. Allen asked the board for $500, attorney fees of $250 caused by the litigation, and that the county move the fence, an irrigation ditch. dig a new well and move a garage and barn now on the strip. The county offered him $500 and said they would dig new well and move the buildings, but would not pay the attorney fees which they thought were excessive.
 After considerable controversy the supervisors offered to let three men settle the matter by arbitration and agreed to abide by their decision. Allen refused to settle by arbitration.
 Supervisor J. R. Bradshaw said a petition has been presented to the board to open the road, and that they would take up the matter through that course and settle it in SO days. It was thought that perhaps an agreement could be reached last night before Twohy Brothers moved their paving machinery today and a night meeting was called by the board. but no agreement was reached.

HANDSOME BANKING
 QUARTERS REFLECT
 VALLEY PROSPERITY

Since the opening of half of the new quarters of the National Bank of Arizona. their customers have been much impressed with the use of the low fixtures and the man-to- man dealings with the tellers, which is permitted through an open wicket rather than the old style of dealing through a grating with man in cage.
 Many banks built in the last few years have used the low fixtures, no higher than a mans eye and open on top. The development of the low fixtures, with plate glass below. has of course, led to the development of the accessory apparatus for the hold ing of the coin, currency, etc. that makes the low fixtures as safe as the cage idea.
 The use of the low fixtures in the new quarters of the National Bank of Arizona adds much to the general ap- pearance and the size of the room. Even in it's present half space. the room looks large, but it will look

doubly so when the workmen finish up the balance of the room this week and the whole is thrown together. It is planned that all of the work on the banking rooms will be completed by next Friday and the formal open ing of the bank is planned for Satur- day. April 30.
 With the opening of the new quar- ters, which are really the old quar- ters and additional space remodeled. Phoenix can boast of the finest banking room west of Kansas City and one that speaks loud to the viSi- tor as to the prosperity of the com Dlunity. This reflection of the con fidence of the directors of the Ma tional Bank of Arizona in the future of the Salt River valley should do much to stabilize any feeling to the contrary that may be in the mind of some who are seeking the darker side of business. Probably no one knows better than bank officials. the real inside conditions. and the formal opening next Saturday of the finest banking room in the west shows ex- sctly what the business men behind this bank think of the stability of the valley.
 Even though but a part of the building has been opened for use dur ing tne past couple or months, GUS toners have been struck with the number of conveniences that are in cluded in the new bank plan, the pur- pose of which is to expedite business It is going to be a real treat next Saturday for the people of Phoenix to be able to go through the com pleted plant and see what a really modern bank building is like
 The opening will mark an epoch in the banking history of the Salt River valley and will be a red letter day in the history of the National Bank oi Arizona.

GA series of talks to the Good Citizen by the Public Utility)
(A series Of talks the Good by Public UtIity)
 Regulation Yesterday and Today
 CHAPTER V
CHAPTER V

OUBLIC Utility Regulation a few years
 ago was synonomous with rate reduction.
 The public service companies were ire quently earning more than reasonable return on their investments and were pared down in their earnings by the com missions until they earned only the mini mum allowable return on the value of their properties. This made the regulating com missions very popular.
 TO-DAY a different condition exists During the past five years the costs of operation have continually advanced. Rates for gas and electricity have had to be advanced sufficient amount to enable the companies to exist The regulating commissions have fought against rate in- creases, granting partial relief here and there, but very seldom granting the full re- lief necessary for the public utilities The public has not been fully informed of the facts so that the commissions have been condemned by the public for increasing rates and also by the public service con- panies for not increasing rates enough to compensate for advances in costs of oper- atlon.
 MO community can prosper and grow 1Nwhen poor service is rendered by the pub lie utility companies. For community growth and prosperity these companies must be maintained in healthy condition, able to keep their properties we'll main tained, able to pay for good and efficient staff of employees and able to pay a good return to the investor who purchases their securities. With a delapidated property, poorly paid, inefficient corps of en1- ployes, and no new money flowing into the property from the sale of it's securities to keep up with community growth, pub lie utility cannot give service. The Good Citizen will insist that the Corporation Con- mission regulates public utilities in way which will give square deal to the con- panies as we'll as a square deal to the public.

"Wax Down East.

The snow scene as It was SnOWn in Way Down East" on the stage years gone by sinks into insignifi- canoe with respect to the actual screen at the Shrine auditorium when
 the cinema marvel comes here April 30 and May 1. 2, 3, 4, at each presentation there of the D. W. Grif-
 fifth screen version of that famous and stirring play. It was held to be that the climax of realism was in that stage snow scene and it was on that feature of the production that some of the long continued popular ity of the play was maintained. But the screen is able to make a stage snowstorm seem the most artificial of phenomena. For the stage Joseph R. Grismer, who elaborated the orig fnal story of Way Down East" written by Lottie Blair Parker, ob
 tained a patent on a snow device. Through a window that was of real glass the snow that Grismer used could be seen falling. This was at the back of the farm house kitchen. That was in the second act. The third act showed the back of the ''settin' room" and whenever the door to the outside opened there was a swirl of snow and every sound of high wind. Against the window the snow pelted and when the door would open great gobs of white material. initiating snow, would come into the room. Before members of the cast would elter the room they would pass the window and then there was the suggestion of a blizzard through the walking with bowed head and with every suggestion of a terrific
