ELKS INITIATE A
MOTLEY CREW IN
ORDERS MYSTERY

To all appearances, the motley host
of eleven died-in-the-woll, honest-to-
goodness convicts who were paraded
through the streets of this city last
night, were hard boiled transgressors
of the law and never looked more nat
ural than in their present costumes.
One Knight of the Grip" standing in
front of the James Hotel remarked
that he was glad that at least one of
the counties of this state was placing
the buns, loakers and dead beats
where they belonged. "Too bad" he
remarked, pointing to a seven-footer
who looked like a BARRIERS pole in his
stripes, THAT fellow would have
made wonderful orange picker, had
he applied his time instead of trying
to beat the public" "But that fellow
yonder," he said pointing to another
member of the gang, known to the
public as Bob Wright looks like a
typical safe-blower or bank robber."
The Knight of the Grip was sur
prised to learn that these eleven men
parading the streets in convicts garb
were none other than eleven candi-
dates for the mysteries of Elkdom
and that it was customary to stage a
public parade just before their mi
tiation into the B. p. o. E. Closely
guarded and in chains these eleven
candidates We're marched from the
Elks Club House on River street to
Third and Lemon, down Lemon to
Second where the roll was called and
the following men answered to their
names: Mark Shaw, Robert Wright,
Harry Keller, Donald Loop, Carl AL
derman, Fred Lecks, Whitfield Cave,
Frank Bruce, c. E. WEIGH, Clarence
Holden and Claude Terrell. Practi-
cally all of these candidates made a
speech but they did not say anything
much.
After the roll call and speech MAX
ing, the candidates paraded up and
down the aisles of Kalbfelds Grand
Theater and passed in review before
that audience for their inspection.
1t was then that Robert Wright rem
dered a most touching solo, entitled
"How Dry AM"
Then they were marched back to
the Elks Club where the goat-riding
and other mysterious rites known on
ly to members of Fraternal organiza-
tons were performed.
Music for the parade was furnish
ed by wonderfully melodious and har-
monious orchestra composed of Mark
Shaw and Carl Alderman.

CARPENTER HAS
NOT YET POSTED
GOOD FAITH COIN
By Henry L. Farrell

United Press Staff Correspondent
New York, March 15-Broadway
heard rumors today that Georges
Carpenter is getting ready to run out
of his match with Jack Dempsey. The
failure of the Frenchmen to get
their forfeit over here to rest along
side of Tex Richards and Jack
Dempsey's good faith money" is ia
ken by some to mean that the pedal
extremities of the European cham
pion are beginning to cool.
Again it is said that Carpenter
was willing to be manned for 100000
but his wife will not consent to have
him ruined for a cent less, it being
reported that Richard asked him to
lessen his fees.
Richard has quit talking but he
seems perfectly satisfied with devel-
opnents. From outward appearance
es, he isn't worrying. There do not
seem to be good excuses for expect
ing bitches.
Just week ago, Des Camps, the
Frenchman's manager, said he would
comply with Richards suggestion
that their forfeit money be posted on
this side. The skeptics should be

ADJUSTMENTS
GRAND TOMORROW

Dustin Farnum, the most recent of
the popular movie idols to be added
to the Robertson-Cole list of stars,
will make his appearance in his first
production under the Robertson-C Cole
management at the Grand tomorrow
in mastery adaptation of the book,
big Happiness" by "Pan," the ia
nous English novelist.
In this rather remarkable photo
play, according to the reviewers, the
scenes of which are laid in Switzer-
land, London, Paris and New York,
Farnum is seen as a wealthy society
man and as an idler and waster.
The story is said to have unlimited
suspense element due to the unusu-
ally novel plot which necessitates the
disappearance Of the society man only
few days after his wedding to a
cultured and refined young woman
and the substitution of the wastrel
in the place of the bridegroom.
How the "black sheep" of the arts
tocratic British family fulflls the task
thrust upon him, how he actually be-
came the living exponent of the part
he played, and how this strange tri-
angle of life works out to a happy
and successful conslusion makes "Big
Happiness" a really big story for a
truly big actor, it is reported.
Jack Cunningham, author of many
screen successes, among them Hearts
Ahame" is responsible for the screen
version of the play. 1t is said to fol-
low closely the original story. Colin
Campbell was the director. The role
of the heroine is in the very capable
hands of Kathryn Adams, and Fred
Malatesta gets the opportunity to
perform some of his peculiar tricks
of villiany. Other members of the
cast include Joseph J. Bowling, he
who played the Patriarch in 'The
Miracle Man," William H. Brown,
Violet Schram and Aggie Heron.

Mr.. Marvin was seriously injured by
an explosion, which occurred while
he was working on one of the gas

alarmed because the money has not
arrived in seven days. The French
men are on tour of Europe and they
cannot attend to business with the
celebrity possible if they were at home
in Paris. Besides, Frenchmen never
see the need of a rush and the date of
the meeting is months away.
Didn't Ask a Cent.
In regard to the reduction of the
purse, Pickard told the United Press
recently that he had not suggested a
price cut to Carpenter or had not
asked to have him work on a percent
age basis.
He intimated that he might ask him
to work for "cut of the gate" when
they came to this country feeling that
much more could be accomplished by
conversation than by cable.
Gus Wilson, Carpenters trainer,
who is waiting over in Jersey City
for his employers to return, laughs
at the fears that Carpenter will slip
out of the moose.
Carpenter has been working all
his life for this bout. He never will
consent to having it called off, let
alone trying to get out of it himself"
he said.
"Descamps thinks that Dempsey is
trying to get away from the agree
ment and he writes me that he will
start legal proceedings to collect the
forfeits just as soon as any part of
the agreement is violated"
Richard said today he might be
ready to announce the site for the
bout tomorrow.

 That Sunday afternoon as I was again taking Robbie to the park, l encountered Edith on the street &C., cording to the half definite appoint ment we had made.
 Where's George this afternoon ?" inquired.
 Hes home-asleep. Usually on a Sunday he's so fatigued by the eff forts of living through the previous week that he is ready to sleep all day"
 And where's Mir. Saiter?" A sec ond later I was sorry I had confessed any interest in him.
 What do you care? Haven't you told me half dozen times that you aren't jealous of him?''
 My curiosity Is purely commercial I responded. He called to see me on a matter of business the other day"
 Did he? I knew that his return abroad had suddenly been postponed
 "So he told me-
 Ibid you like him any better when you saw him the second timer"
 He seems very shrewd business man.
 Perhaps that is why George, who isn't much of one. doesn't like him. v
 It was my turn to be blunt. "Ru- nor says there are other reasons" remarked.
 The suggestion apparently made It. tie impression on Edith.

 Arizona now has a law covering the assessment of migratory stock from one county to another, but. the Jaw relat tive to assessment on migra- tory stock from outside states was declared unconstitutional by the su- preme court of the state.

CAME NEAR WINNING
 BET ON TEMPERATURE

The betters who backed Carpentier took no more desperate chances than A. S. Mills of the Messenger in- cured in wager with A. T. Cornish of the federal collectors office, and which for a timesit was thought he might win. At the beginning it had seemed to be about as one sided a proposition as could have been set forth About the middle of June he offered to bet that between that date and July there would be ten days in which the thermometer would not reg ster 100 degrees.
 Anybody who knows anything about the summers of the Salt River valley would regard that as a rool bet The only apparent reason for making il seemed to be that Mir Mills wanted to slough off his money to lighter his income tax. Nobody had ever seen such weather as he was putting his wealth on. The nearest approach to 1t was in a summer along in the seventies when a cold wave of sucf intensity swept over the valley that Mexican laborers deserted the harv- est fields and built bonfires around which they huddled.
 But for seven days following tht bet the mercury failed to reach 100 and MT. Mills believed that out O. the remaining five days he ought tc get three. But that was the end O the string Still, he came nearer winning than Carpenter.

AN UNPLEASANT SURPRISE By THORNTON w. BURGESS kCccyriqht by J. G. lIoyd)

Legs are very useful when you want
 to run away:
 Long. sharp teeth are splendid If to
 fight you want to stay:
 Zc- a greater blessing. whether one
 may stay or quits.
 Is a well oiled. perfect balanced,
 sharpened set of wits
 So said Peter Rabbit as he sat in a snug hiding place in the Old Pas rure and thought over what he had found out about the strange Rabbit whose tracks he had followed. They had led him to a rubbing or measur- fnE tree where the strange Rabbit had placed his mark. and that mark was SO high up on the tree that Peter knew that the strange Rabbit must be a great deal bigger than himself.
 If he's bigger. of course, he is stronger thought Peter. "and if he ss both bigger and stronger. of course, ft vent be the least bit of use for me to fight him Then, anyway. I'm too stiff and sore to fight. Of course. he has no business to think he owns the Old Pasture. because he~doesnt. I have just as much right here a s he has Yes. sir. I have just as much right In this Old Pasture as he has, and if he thinks he can drive me out he Is going to find that he never was more mistaken in his life. I'll show him, Yes. sir-e-e, I'll show him. l guess my wits are as sharp as his, and wouldn't wonder if they are a little bit sharper

He wasn't fair. No, sir. he wasn't fair. He let his own desires destroy his sense of fair play. IL was sll right for him to put up signs in the dear old briar patch and the Green Forest, warning other Rab, bits that they must keep away. but 1t was all wrong for another Rabbit to do the same thing in the Old Pasture. Oh my. yes, That was quite diff fcrent matter, The very thought of it made Peter very. very angry. When he thought of this other.Rabbit tt was always as the stranger That shows just how unfair Peter was, because. you see. Peter himself was really the stranger. It was his first visit to the Old Pasture, while it was very plain that the other had lived there for some time.
