AND POCKET BILLIARD PARLOR

popular form of amusement
 and recreation in Williams is
 well shown by the large crowds
 that gather rightly at th2 Sul-
 tana Smoke House and Pocket
 Billiard Parlors in this city.
 this popular place of amuse-
 ment and exercise is equipped
 with several of the latest make
 and size pockee billiard tables,
 made by the Brunswick Blake
 CoIlender Co.,, which are kept
 in first class condition and
 ready for the many patrons to
 play on at all times.
 That this up to date method
 of doing business is appreciated
 is we'll demonstrated by the
 large number of tourists that
 make the Sultana thie head quarters while in the city.
 In connection with the b1l- Hard parlors is a nicely appoint ed and sanitary soft drink de- partment where you can satisfy the inner man with anything in that line, and most important of all, at moderate price.
 The cigar counter at the Sul- tana |; a store within itself. Here you will find the very best there is in cigars, cigarettes and tobaccos, also a complete line of the finest candies that are made in the entire country and at the same prices that pre- vail in lrge cities.
 The Sultana does both a wholesale and a retail business. MT. R. M. Reese, the genial manager invited the writer to visit the stock room and it sure was worth while. Dozens of boxes of dainty sweets placed in neat array and tier after tier of the highest grades of imported and domestic cigars. The value of the stock carried by the Sul- tana could not be duplicated l for less than $1O,OOO.
 MT. Reese is not only the 1 head of the Sultana Smoke but is also manager. of ! the local Motion Picture Thea-E tre: This twentieth century ! play house has. a seating capac- f Ity Of nearly 5000 and enjoys the patronage of all who appre- ciate first run pictures of the highest moral tone. Another | thing we wish to call attention !! 0f our readers to is the fact that in great many town the ;ize of Williams, the nonarrivaI of pictures means no show. Such is not the case with MT. Reese who makes 1t a point to nave in reserve at all times at east $500 worth of up to date pictures. The price of admis- sion at the Sultana. has not been raised despite the increas- ed cost of films. Practically every other theatre in Arizona ! md Southern California has in ! reased it's charge for admission ! 5 cents being the minimum nd 75 cents the maximum { harge in other theatres for { egular run pictures. This : makes the average price in ther theatres, about 55 cents. 'hus the people of Williams re still able to see first class ] ictures at the same price charg z d six years ago, which is now ' ess than half the average F harge made in other cities of r lrizona and California.

 A carefuI analysis of the riding and revenues of each district may demon strate the necessity of abandoning certain lines and territory of such district and substituting some other form of transportation at rates that will afford a reasonable return on the investment for such substitute trans portation.

as a lower fare with increased patron age would produce. . The probable financial advantage of a lower fare is not so much from the carrying of a large number of pas- sengers during the peak hours of the day, as carrying a materially larger number of short haul passengers dur ing the lean hours of the day Hard to Fix Fares.
 The ordinary. methods of determfn- ing just and equitable rates, based up on revenues, expenses, value of plant. and a fair return, are not practical to follow in this case if we concede, as is the fact, that the present rates can not produce sufficient revenue to af- ford a fair return and yet find that the rates are too high to obtain pub lie patronage. Under such conditions | the determination of a just and req sonab1e or economic rate is more or to confirmation or modification by actual test and experience.

With a five cent | fare in 8 city where the con1pany is now receiving a fatr measure of pat | ronage, but in Q city where the pres ent patronage is so limited that the revenues fall short of paying actual l operating expenses. an experiment should have the effect of demonstrat- ing the success or failure of a five | out transfer and with contracted fare | limits, without serious financial loss | to the company.

They may be removed from the box by exercise of the premptory challenges allowed by the law-the defense has savagely attacked the activities of the wonan'S v1g1lant committee in connection with the case, but all of the women jurors have denied that they would permit the in- terest of this committee in the case, to sway their judgment.
 T don't care whether they are men or women" Arbuckle said today. "Just so they give me a fair trial"
 Speedier procedure was in prospect under the adjurations of trial Judge that their long winded questions to jurors had led him to the belief they were putting their argurn ents prior to the opening of the trial.

Declares It Merely Means New Supply
 For Raw Material

(Continued from Page One) that even though the powers should be willing only partly to dfsarm on the sea, that I will buy whatever they may agree to withdraw from their navieS.
 ''But they ought to scrap the whole lot There is no reason why a war ship should be left upon all the oceans in the world. If these diplo- mats mean business they will accept my proposition and disarm. These diplomats say they want naval force only as protection. Each one denies gression even the remnant that the Hughes plan leaves each nation. Well, if that is the case, why should not all of the governments sell their them to fight anybody with. I'll melt up and make them into things that will make life better instead of worse. Put the American fleet into my hands and Japan never need be afraid of it again. Put the Japanese fleet into my hands and America need not be afraid of it. Put the British fleet in my hands and neither America nor any other nation need fear it. With these fleets in my hands no people would be taxed to maintain them. Nobody would be harmed and every body would be benefited.
 ''If the powers will sell me their navies I will help them solve their
 
 ployment problem is going to be worse even by the disarmament plan than MT. Hughes proposes. If war ship building is going to be stopped 1 for ten years, thousands of men who are now working in steel mills and shipyards- will be deprived of em- | ployment. Something should be done | for these men. I will do something l for them if the powers will sell me | their warships. I will not only give | employment to thousands more meT | in my tractor and automobile works l but indirectly I will give employment | to many more thousands.
 | When I employ men to make z l tractor, flor instance, I cause em | ployment to be given to the railway | men who take to market the wheat that the tractor helps to grow, tht | milers who grind it. the bakers whc make it into bread, the clerks wht | sell it and to the drivers of delivery wagons who take it to the homes.
 "1t is a very dangerous thing tt leave in existence any fraction, how ever small, of existing navies. EacI of these parts if left, will ultimatel. be expanded into a big navy agail | and we shall have the present situa | tion all over again. The world doe not need any of these ships. I neet all of them. If can buy them I vii manufacture things that will maI1 people happy instead of sad.
 Washington, Nov. 16--f the ar mament conference agrees to tn American proposals for naval reduc ton, the Navy Department will re ceive offers from Henry Ford and an, other bidders for the purchase o was announced at the Navy Depart n1ent to-day.
