J. Pluvius Steps in
 and SpOils Plan For
 Big Open-Air Dance

Jupiter Pluvius, dawg-gone him, stepped into the district last night, decided to stick around Warren for a few hours and thereby put a crimp in plans for holding a big dance at Vista Park for the purpose of raising funds for the construction of a swimming pool and playground in Tombstone Canyon. Members of the committee in charge of the dance had been sell ing tickets and arousing interest in the dance for weeks. Everything was in readiness last night for a big eve ming, until the rain came along and made the open-air dance impossible.
 The dance will be held next Friday evening at the park it was announced last night, and all tickets sold for last night will be honored. In the mean time, members of the committee point ed out, there is no national amend ment. state law or city ordinance that forbids anyone, who has not already done so, from purchasing a ticket.

Many Tourists in
 Bisbee Yesterday
 Praise Highways


 Yesterday was tourists day" in the Warren District From morning until night cars rolled into the dis trict heavily laden with tents, bag gage and camping paraphernalia. The majority of the touring parties were eastbound, returning to their homes in the east and middlewest from vaca- tions spent in California. Texas led in the number of cars represented.
 All of the motorists who were seen by a Review reporter were loud in their praise of highways in this part of the country.
 "f all the roads we have been over this summer were as good as those in Cochise county" said one motorist, "Pd like to spend all my time driving around the country We've heard a lot about Arizona heat and Arizona deserts, but haven't been able to find any sich animal in this part of the state. For my part, the southern route is good enough; if this is a typ ical summer day, then I've been kid ded. 8 long time, for I'd imagined that motoring through Arizona in summer would be like trying to drive with a furnace perched on the hood of the car"

 OF OFFICER NORMALLY WOUNDED

coming down one of the sides of the canyon. They halted him and search ed him, found nothing to justify his detention, and again started toward the lower end of the canyon.
 Officers Are Fired On
 In the meantime, the Mexican crowd had apparently broken up, and its members had taken positions behind rocks and shacks in the narrow, rocky canyon. A chorus of shouts and curses caused Morris and Steger to start back toward. the place where they had left the crowd. Here is Ste gers account of what happened:
 Suddenly they started firing on us from almost eveTy direction and throwing huge rocks.
 q drew by automatic and returned the fire. After emptying the first clip of cartridges, I put in another, and emptied that, Morris revolver had jammed and, while he was trying to make it fire, he slipped on a rock and fell. Somebody directly behind him opened fire on us I thought Nor ris had been shot and returned the fire. When my ammunition was ex- hausted we ran down the. canyon, still followed by a hail of rocks and bullets, jumped into an automobile and were driven to the police station for more ammunition
 Night Sergeant Anderson, hearing the car coming down the canyon at a terrific rate, joined the two officers at the police station and. returned to the scene of the shooting with them.
 Gang is Relocated
 "We crept up the canyon and soon located the gang" said Sergeant An derson. They were gathered near an opening of wall, built in a semi circle and apparently used as a burro corral. It was near this opening that the first clash had taken place. When went to the scene with Steger and Morris we entered through a gate at the opposite end of the corral, coming up behind the gang. About 12 or 15 of them heard us and ran into the hills. We separated to intervals of several yards, advanced on the seven who had not run, and ordered them to put up their hands. I was watching Loya. who was near the end of the line of prisoners. He suddenly pick ed up a rock and hurled it at Morris, but missed him. Morris ordered him to put up his hands. Instead of obey ing, Loya grasped another big rock and started to hurl 1t at Corris' head Morris fired. Loya walked over to the edge of the corral and sat down We did not think he was seriously wounded. I told Morris to watch the other six Mexicans while Steger and went into the hills and tried to round up some of those who had escaped We could find none Of them. TheT we returned to Morris and the prison CTS. Loya was apparently badly wounded. We procured a blanket from one of the shacks and placed il around him. Then we took him to the police station and called for a doctor Loya was alive when we reached the station, but died before the doctor ar rived.

UphoIds Morris Action

Before we reached the gang, I told Morris and Steger not to fire unless necessary to protect their own lives They followed these orders. Morris life was in danger and he had to shoot"
 Morris story of the shooting tallied in every detail with that of Sterger and Anderson.
 City Marshal Wertz, after receiving all reports of the battle and investigst- ing the affair, said last night that he believed Morris was thoroughly justi- fled in firing at the man who attacked him.

MAN AND MAID. BY Eiinor Glyn
7 u frnincoft Capnapv

F sex were to be eliminated from
this existence of ours many
things would cease to be; and
one imagines that the first to go
would be Eiinor Glyn. Without sex
to write about the pen must fall from
her hand. the page remain an actusl
blank. empty not only of ideas but of
words. Or. should she somehow go
on writing. there would be no one to
read her. and so the end would be
the same.
Her new book is written I'm the
form OF a journal and the writer Is
supposed to be a young man, a mutile
of the war, part French and part
English. with a bit of American
thrown in for extra measure. He
has lost his right leg from the knee,
one shoulder is crooked and one eye
gone. But he is. to quote him, dis
gustingly rich. and though he ex-
plains that he can no longer get the

vide ladies and amusement. But oh,

stupid it all is. and he ends many Of
his entries by remarking that he is

Apparently he keeps it out OF
reach. however.
The outstanding quality in Mrs.
Glyn's work is its absolute unreality.
1t is difficult to put a finger precisely
on this unreality. to say it is here. or
there, that it is because of the des-
perate trying after smartness in the
dialogue. or because the style is so
bad. and in witness of that take this
paragraph:
Alice. the divorcee. appeals to one.
She is gentle aud feminine and cling
ing-she is the cruelest and most
merciless of the three. Maurice tells
me, and the most difficult to analyze.
But most of ones friends would find

Just like that. with its dashes and

trouble.
However. unreality is more than
this. an unreality so salient as hers.
