Your lazy-lidded eyes mask pride

You are too white and slim for

Your nostrils pencilcd just a thought

As one who, on a frosty morn,
flings gold
To hapless beggars, trembling in
the cold,
And waits TO gloat upon n sight so
treasure most a thin Damascus

slit black throats

Before the doors had been open an
hour the auditorium and adjoining
halls were filled to capacity and a
large crowd was turned away at the
entrance. Within the high walls of
the mammoth Shrine temple last
night there was crowded more laugh
ter and excitement than has ever
been generated In this city.
In spite of the fact that the audi
toriun was jammed with spectators.
the program went through without a

splitting applause The bands played,
the ballyhoo artists beloved and the
circus performers went through
their amusing and daring perform
ances according to the schedule es-
tablished on the first night and which

The Shriners are anticipating full
houses for the remaining two per-
formances of the mammoth circus,
the financial success of which has
been assured by the gratifying at
tendance on the first two nights.
Preliminary to the opening Of the
circus last night a parade was staged
in the business district OF Phoenix.
Led by the Shrine saxaphone band,
the Shriners and circus performers
made their way through the city with
noise enough to have done credit to
Barnum & Bailey. The Shrine patrol
followed the saxaphone band and
dazzled the eyes of the onlookers
with their bright uniforms. The rear

NEW YORK, April 20.-Gen.- Gre
gorie Semenoff, former ataman of
the Cossacks. who was freed on $25,-
jail, dropped out Of sight today and
even his lawyers said they were not
certain where he could be located.
The generals bail, in cash, was
provided by the Russian National so
ciety and the Association for the
Unity of Russians. an organization
Of Russian monarchists. AS soon as
he was freed last night the Cossack
leaped into taxicab and was
whisked away
Ezra p. Prentice, chief of the gem
erals legal staff, said he did not
know where his client is staying.
One of Prentice's assistants said he
knew the address but had not been
able to find the general today. He
refused to give out the address.
Madame Semenoff checked out Of
the Waldorf Astoria yesterday noon.
She took with her the six boxes
which she has declared contain all the
possessions of herself and her htis-
band. She gave the hotel no for
warding. address. Efforts OF attor-
neys for the Youroveta Home and
Foreign Trading company. which
caused the arrest of Senenoff, to To-
cate the general were unavailing and
reporters also failed to locate him.
Officials of the society which pro-
vided the bail said tonight they could
not give the address where Senenon
might be found.
A new angle Of mystery appeared
when Senator William z. Borah OF
Idaho, who has urged Semenofrs de-
portation, left New York for Wash
ington in such hurry that he left q
package Of important papers in his
room. The senator had come to the
city to personally investigate the
case. He said he was to meet three
persons who would be Of value in his
investigation but he saw no one.
He registered for the night in room
1857 at the Waldorf Astoria. Not
four hours earlier Madame Semenoff
had checked out OF the same room,
but Senator B6rah did not know at
the time the man he was investigat-
ing had occupied the very room he
had.
Just before noon he left the hotel.
He te1ephoned back to ask the man
ager to send on the package Of let
ters, and said he was going to WASH
ington.

Two OF the largest fines ever inn

gambling ordinance were assessed
last night on Herb Hotchkiss and

who were arrested in the Bird Cage
saloon and compelled to appear be-

fHotchkiss was fined $4,000 and Mr..
Anderson was compelled to pay $780,

The police raid on the saloon was
unexpected and before the gambling
devices could be concealed the Off
GERS had secured evidence enough to
convict the culprits. The gamblers
broke down on the witness stand and
confessed their guilt. They paid
their fines without demur and were
released.
1t is reported that the pair were
seen later back at the gambling
tables making an effort to win back
their losses.

PRIMARIES IN FALL

There will be approximately 1000
more voters in Arizona this fall than
two years ago, according to estimates
furnished Ernest r. Hall, secretary OF
state, by the county recorders OF the
IL counties. The estimated total this
fall will be 97,150 as against 90,272
two years ago. This increased regis
tration will reflect a substantial gain
in the total population Of the state.
notwithstanding general exodus Of
miners from the mining counties
when mine operations were discon-
tinued.
Yuma county shows the largest es-
timated increase in eligible voters,
with an estimated registration OF T.
600, as compared with 1000 two years
ago. This represents a population in
crease of about rs per cent. Marico-
pa county, the largest in the state,
also shows an increase, the estimated
registration this year being given at
$4,000, as compared with 25,409 two
years ago. Yavapai county estimates
an increase from S,041 to $500, and
Mohave county estimates gain of
about 80 per cent in the total num-
Der of qualified voters this fail.
A decrease of 25 per cent in the
number of eligible voters is antiei-
pated in Santa Cruz county this fall,
as compared with two years ago. The
number this year, the Santa Cruz
county recorder estimates, will be
1,50O, as against 1000 two years ago.
Greenlee county also anticipated a
decrease this year from 200 to 1000
and ella a drop of from 1000 to
5000.
According to the estimated regis
tration in each county. as compiled
by the county recorders in their re-
ports to Secretary of State Hall, all
of the agricultural counties of the
state will show a gain in the num-
ber of eligible voters as against two
years ago. On the other hand, all
save one OF the mining counties will
show a decrease. The one exception
is Mohave county, where the largest
gold mines in the state are located.
Estimated registration figures were
furnished Secretary Hall that orders
for publicity and pamphlets for the
special election on the eight pro-
posed constitutional amendments
