A CCORDING to recent dispatches from
y politically storm tossed Germany,
"A movement has been launched by Ger

K "A movement has been launched by Ger
man artists and authors to nominate
Gerhardt Hauptmann, German poet and dra
matist, for President at the coming elections
Although Hauptmann is not identified officially
with any political party, the prospect of his
running for office is looked upon with consid-
cradle misgiyings by those who desire Ebert's
reelection, because the poet is known to enter
tain radical views and 10 have large follow
ing as the countrys greatest living poet.
The FVorwaerts organ of the Social Demo-
Gratis, expresses its disapproval Of the project
thus:
THE idea cf nominating Hauptmann springs
from an utter misconception of democracy.
Assuredly democracy should honor the intel
lectual giants of the nation. but it cannot do SO
by putting them into jobs to which they are
unequal. The Athenans chose Sophocles as a
general after the production of his 'Antigone
but did not contribute thereby either to his
fame or the states welfare. By the choice of
Gerhsfdt Hauptnann neither the poet nor the
republic would be the gamer, for the President
is not a mere ornament Of the republic, but
should be a statesman capable OF intervening
in affairs CT state at decisive moments"
The prospective candidate for nomination to
the German Presidency was born at SalzDrunn,
Sesia, November IS, 1862 Working on a
farm as q ooy and young man, he employed
his spare time in study, and at length was
able to desert the plow for university course
at jena. This was followed by a tour of Italy,
during which his serious literary work began
For time he also turned his attention to
sculpture.
according to his own admissions his early
experiences as a laborer provided Hauptmann
with important literary capital by suggesting
themes for his writings. With the produc-
ton of die Weber" l"The Weavers'), in
which he set forth in powerful fashion the
condition of the working classes, his mark was
made AS dramatist o. the realistic and social
istic school. "De Weber, made a sensation
throughout Europe, and won the compliment
OF conservative official disapprovaI.
But his dramatic efforts were not Iimitod
to the field Of realism. In "The Sunken Bell"
played here by Z. H. Sothern and Julia Mar
loWe, he showed equal distinction in the realm
Of poetic drama. "Hannele," the dream play
OF beggar girls soul, in which the title role
was played here by Minnie Maddern Fiske, is
another play which contributed to the authors
fame in America.
In 1912, the year of his fiftieth birthday

from Oxford and the Griparzer prize. the

According to James Gibbons Huneker. who
included Hauptnann among his "Iconoclasts,"
Hauptmann wears all the earmarks of genius.

A POET FOR PRESIDENT
By KATHERINE WRIGHT

He is a child Of the age to a dangerous de-
gree, and his trenlulous, vibrating sensbility
mirrored the hysterical agitation, the pess-
mism, the sad strivings, the individuasm, the
fretful fomentings and unbelief of dying
century. He knows Goethe, and after the last
act Of The Sunken BelP one feels too con-
strained to cry, The third part Of Faust" The

though there are analogies. 1t is realism, it
IS idealism, it is Pantheism, it is WagnerisnL
Above all, Frederick Nietzsche towers in the
background and there Is poesy, exquisite
roesy. 1t seems Hauptmanns fateto
be miseraby misinterpreted--he the poet
whose love for his fellow beings is became
veritahle passion. He began his artistic life
as a poet-seulptor, and he has been modelling
human souls ever since. Perhaps they may
be as iHlperlshable as if they had been carved
in marble"

superintend the Fiske production of 'Hannee'

The centralized committee was appointed by the as- sociation and the sales agency will be under its supervision at all times. Every member of the committee is a grain grower of the valley.
 By signing the agreement for the permanent pool the grower gives his consent to the sales agency for the sale of the grain. The grain will be pooled and stored and orders for grain will be filled from the pool as a market for the grain. The dis tressed'' grain will be sold at once for the best market price available at the time of the sale

KEPT BUSY
 ON ANIMAL CALLS

Animals seem to have taken the place of criminals to keep the police department busy during the past few weeks. Comparatively few crimes or misdemeanors have been reported re- gently. Even the hootch, lemon ex- tract and home-brew tipplers have ceased to trouble the department ex- cept in scattering instances. Per haps a six months sentence recently imposed upon regular" has had an intimidating effect upon this class of offenders. Something has kept them fairly sober
 But despite these conditions. the police department is kept busy There are annumeraDle calls every day, and most of them concern animals Here are few excerpts from the police re- port yesterday:
 Dog to be killed at 175s West Jack son street.
 Sack of cats and a dog at 1915 west Adams street.
 Two dogs at 1856 West Jacksor street.

 l. WAR ON F|NNY TRIBE

John J. Kolberg of the Arizona Laundry and George Mintz of the Arizona Title and Trust company will .cave early this week for Oak creek on what to all outward ap- pearances is a mere fishing trip. But in reality they are going into the solitude of that anglers haven to fight duel-a bitter duel to the death.
 Tn private life Messrs. Kolberg and Mintz are the best of friends. So in public life. But when they cast aside the cares of their existence as we'll known business men of Phoenix and enter the role of fishermen, all friendship ceases. It is war.
 Mir Kolberg has been a frequent fisherman at Oak creek in years past. and a successful one as we'll So sue cessful, in fact, that Mir. Mintz has had to endure rather remarkable fish stories every now and then. The | worst of it was that they all seemed perfectly authentic and well vouched 1 for.
 Now, Mir Mintz lays claim to no | unusual prowess as an angler. but sometimes he wished for an opportu- nifty to prove that he could do a few things himself Finally the chance came for them to take a little vaca- ton at the same time.
 MT. Mintz acted quickly Mir. Kol-
 berg received a formal challenge or his past statements and an invitation to go out and fight for honors in tho
 stream He accepted with alacrity l and a wager was made as to whC
 would catch the biggest and mos fish.
 The duel will begin as soon as the,
 arrive at Oak creek. and it will be fight to the death-but to the deatl
 of nobody knows how many of tn finny race The two fishermen ex
 pect to have the time of their lives even if they are engaging in a rivat
