PRESCOTT FORFEITED BALL
GAME TO us; FLAGSTAFF
GOES TO JEROME SUNDAY

Prescott forfeited Sundays ball
game to Flagstaff. Manager Du-
mont wired Manager Grover Hutson
of the local team on Saturday that
his team had disbanded. The local
bows were disappointed, both because
they prefer not to win their games
that way, and because they had lost
one game to Prescott and were anx-
ious to get even.
The big fight now will be between
Kingman and Flagstaff. Kingman
will play here Sunday, August 8, when
the fans are expected to turn out IN
force.
Flagstaff goes to Jerome this Sun
day.
Turk Way, one of the local meteors,
left Tuesday for the south. Tommy
Knoles, a former member of our team
who is here visiting, will likely wear
a Flagstaff uniform in the game
against Kingman.
Manager Hutson is trying to get a
game here with Grand Canyon as
part of the Elks' big labor day eel
ebration.

OUR STATE CODE HAS
MANY CONTRADICTIONS
STRUCKMEYER SAYS

The state code commission, Judge
+. G.. Struckmeyer, commissioner,
and Matt S. Walton, associate, are
progressing we'll in their work of re-
vising the state laws in the offices
of County Attorney Frank Harrison
where the Coconino county law library
is available for research. They have
already completed the task of COM
pilation and are working on the re-
vision which enbodies the removal of
contradictions and inconsistencies as
well as superfluous language.
The State Bar association and pub
lie officials have been solicited for
written suggestions concerning the
revision and many valuable ideas
have been received which have been
incorporated into the new code for
approval by the eighth state legisla-
ture, meeting in January.
The last revision was made in 1913
by Judge S. l.. Pattee. This hasty
revision was ordered by the first
state legislature to meet the needs
of the newly created state. The vol
ume of the present laws could be re-
duced by one-half of the present size
if the legislature had granted time
for minute revision, but as it lis only
the most glaring mistakes are being
corrected.
That many of the present laws are
archaic, minute and redundant is ex-
emplified by a few of the following
citations: An act gives the federal
government the right to establish
lighthouses and naval stations in
Arizona. The federal government al
ready had that right in any state,
and it would have a difficult time
finding a site in Arizona for naval
station even though we have been
having good deal Of rain this week.
And just warning to the Flagstaff
housekeepers-did you know that you
are liable to Jail sentence for every
milk bottle and ice cream freezer re-
turned by you unWashed. Another
more serious misdemeanor, subject to
a Jail sentence is for persons finding
milk bottles not to search out the
owner and return the property inn
mediately. Imagine the poor fireman,
under statute, starting for a fire and
accidently tripping over a milk bottle
and thus being faced with the alter
native of Jail sentence or letting the
house burn down. Far more grave
problems have faced Judge Struck
meyer than these, however, for in
stance some of the most serious of
fenses are punishable only by Jail
sentence while lesser ones are sub
ject to penitentiary Imprisonment.
The difficulties are due to the facts
that the revised statutes of 1913 are
frequently in contradiction TO them
selves and to each other and that the
legislature often fails to repeal spe-
officially but does so generally or by
implication.

OPENING DANCE OSAGE
LODGE AT LAKE MARY
WAS A BIG AFFAIR

That opening dance c. G. Mckim
had at Usage Lodge, Lake Mary,
Sunday night, was one of the best
attended affairs Of its kind ever.
There were around 700 people there,
many from other towns, and they all
had a fine time. The music was ex-
cellent, the floor ditto, and all are en-
thusiastic over the courtesy they were
shown and the thoughtful care with
which they were entertained.
The new stone dance building was
tastefully decorated inside with
orange and black. Coat room provls-
ions were adequate. The chef and
his two assistants prepared chicken
dinners and breakfasts until long at
ter daylight next morning.
From the evidence Of this opening
dance, it looks like Mr.. McKim has
struck exactly the right keynote and
that his place will be a prime favor
ite among the various amusement
places around here.
Mr.. McKim had the able assistance
of his wife and his father in handling
the affair and made many new
friends.

MISS COSTIGAN OBSERVES
NINTH ANNIVERSARY OF
ORPHEUM ALL NEXT WEEK

When the ninth anniversary
of the opening of the Orpheum
theatre during the week of Au-
gust A is celebrated, local pat
rOnS of this popular amusement
house no doubt will crowd it to
the doors every night.
For the Orpheum has steadily adj
vanced during the years in the high
character of the entertainments af-
forded and stands out distinctively
the state, and as such is appreciated
by Flagstaff people generally.
While the anniversary is the four
tn of August, the anniversary week
will begin on Sunday, the first. In
addition to exceptionally good pic
lures secured for that week, there
will be many special features. Little
nine year-old Billy Costigan, nephew
of Miss Mary Costigan, managing
owner of the theatre, will each night
direct the orchestra in playing some
one of the several musical compost
tions of his father, the late John j.
Costigan. With little Miss Mary
Hutson, Billy will do a Charleston
dance duo as one of the special fea-
lures, of which several others are
being planned.
The first theatre on the site of the
present Orpheum was the Empress,
which first opened its doors about
ID years ago. Mr.. Costigan was the
lessee. New Years morning, eleven
years ago, following show and dance
the night before, the roof fell in, due
to a heavy snow Mr.. Costigan NOV
ed to the present Babbitt curio store,
which had been remodeled for him.
John w. Weatherford, owner of the
Empress, rebuilt and enlarged it and
leased it to John Barncord, now pro-
prietor of the theatre at Winslow.
For some time there were two
show-houses here, neither making any
money, probably both losing. Then
Mr.. Costigan bought the furnishings
and lease of the Orpheum from Mr.
Barncord.
Mr. Costigan died four years ago,
this month, his sister, the present
owner, succeeding to both ownership
and management. She had been her
brothers assistant for a long time
and was thoroughly familiar with
every detail. Both in line with her
own ideals and in Difference to the
well-known wishes of her brother,
Miss Costigan has kept in pace with
progress in the moving picture world
and has steadily improved the SER
vice in every way as fast as possible.
During the week of the anniver-
sary the front of the Orpheum will
be elaborately decorated.
The interior recently was redeco-
rated, adding much to its attractive
ness. Tommy Dent had charge of
the work. The woodwork has been
given a circassian walnut finish Walls
have been retinted. New draperies
of rich blue add to the prevailing
blue and gold tones. Ornamental
wrought iron urns, with electrically
lighted flowers in the boxes, and wall
urns at either side with flowers and
electric illumination, add to the gen.
eral effectiveness. Five rows of new
spring seats with leather upholstery
have been placed at the rear as
loge, separated from the other seats
with blue velvet ropes. The loge has
a special entrance at the rear, COW
cred with heavy blue velvet curtains.

PROMINENT LABOR LEADER
DECLARES AGAINST HUNT

Jack Provost, for twenty years one
of the leaders of the labor forces and
a prominent democrat in Arizona in
an interview with a Coconino Sun
reporter, expressed his choice of E.
E. Ellinwood for governor. Provost
is in charge of the plaster work on
important construction in progress
in this city. Provost was chairman
of the Territorial Labor party which
took an important part in drafting
those parts of the Arizona constitu-
ton Of vital interest to labor. Pro-
vost was the first president Of the
Arizona State Federation Of Labor,
which he assisted in organizing and
is now the president of the Phoenix
Labor council. Provost was an active
and forceful member Of the last leg
islature. Provost said:
Labor is keenly interested in the
development of Arizona and particu
larly in the development Of the Colo
rado river New enterprise and new
investments are needed to make more
work and better wages. Arizona has
not been going ahead as she should.
Labor suffers from political and in
dustrial stagnation. We need
change in the governors office.
Labor should analyze the candi-
dates, should not make a hasty judge
ment and should not allow a possible
early formed prejudice to blind it to
what is the right thing to do now.
"Ellinwood offers more to labor
than any of the other candidates and
we should give him our support.
Some of our brothers think they see
an objection to him because he was
opposed to the provision of our con-
stitution providing for the recall of
Judges. Remember this was Ellln-
woods only objection to the constitu-
tion which has in it the most forward
labor provisions in the United States
and that objection was because the
president of the United States had
annonced he would not approve the
Arizona constitution if it contained
that provision. Remember that the
president did refuse to approve that
provision and we had to submit TO
taking it out of the constitution and
vote it back in. That attitude OF
Ellinwood fifteen years ago does not
disqualify him as a friend OF LABOR.
I have investigated his labor record.
Whenever he employed labor, he IN
sisted on having organized labor.
Ellinwood has declared he believes IN
collective bargaining. He has APP
proved the Arizona labor code and
tells us it should not be changed eX-
cept at the request of organized la
Dor. Ellinwood is man OF his WORD
and | believe him.
"Ellinwood has the ability and in
tegrity to run this state as it should
be. He has the courage and the talr-
ness to protect all people and all
classes. Ellinwood will be a real
governor.
stFYlinwood is friendly to the de-
velopment of the Colorado river. He
has not committed himself to policy
which is antagonistic to the proper
development of the river wish TO
saw particularly to. my friends, that
if there is any doubt in their minds
on this issue, that the highliners will
