Interesting Legal Tangle
In Industrial Accident
Now Before U. S. Courts
(By Dispatch A. P. wire)

PHOENIX, March 16.-Can rela-
tives of a workman who has died
from injuries received in an in
dustrfal accident collect damages,
though he had elected to accept
compensation in accordance with
the terms of the state workmen's
compensation act?
This question of law, unprecedented
in Arizona courts, is up before the
United States district court in the
case of Ana H. PROOFS executrix
of the estate of Harry, Proops, vcr-
sus Twohey Brothers, asking 500
600 damages for the death of her
husband who prior to his death,
had received $1.4OO compensation for
his injuries.
A former suit in the state courts
to recovery the difference between
the amount paid Proops and $4,000,
the total amount he would be en-
titled to had he lived, resulted in a
decision for the defendant. The pres
ent suit alleges damages TO the
plaintiff as result of Proops'
death.
In the absence of a precedent,
Judge Fred c. Jacobs asked counsel
for both sides to file briefs.

BUTTONS SOCIETY CIRCUS MAKES
HIT WITH DOUCLASTTES; ALL ACTS
ARE CLEAN, VIII HOLESOME, VARIED

buttons Society circus opened a
four-day engagement, m Douglas
last night, at the corner of G ave-
nue. and Sixth street under the
sponsorship of the Douglas Lodge OF
Elks for the benefit of the local
charity fund, and responsive crowd
enjoyed a clean, wholesome and va
ried show
From start to finish, the acts
were of the cleanest sort and the
costumes were so bright spotless
and colorful in the various stunt
acts that they lent a cherry and
wholesome atmosphere to the entire
circus. There were many young
sters present last night and they
laughed at the funny antics Of the
various clowns led by otto" with
real glee. All Of the fun makers
are amusing but without otto" they
would never have raised nearly the
amount Of mirth they do for he is
just naturally comic and has many
cute tricks which the average clown
fails to employ.
The Dutton Equestrian Review
proved the feature of the specta-
cular acts although everything Of
fered was above the average for
circus of the size Of that Of Dut-
toms show.
To enumerate the various attrac-
tions would be to take the kick
out of them for those who have
not yet attended the show. so take
it in and see for yourself! Whatever
else you enjoy, you are sure to
laugh yourself sick at the local
youths who take a turn at being
real bareback riders. Four young
sters tried their luck last night and
they had more fun and caused more
laghter than any other act on the
bill. Prizes were given to the best
'91Id" riders.
Saturday afternoon, spark k-Plug"

burro-will enjoy a birthday party
and the Polyanna bakery is going
to serve a great big, birthday cake
for Sparl1y and all the kiddies of

Countess Of Cathcart's
Play "Ashes" Fails To
Make A Hit In London
(By Dispatch A. P. wirel

LONDON, March 1.-THE Countess
Of Cathcart's play "Ashes," was pro-
duced at the Prince of Wales theatre
Monday and proved a disappointment
to the crowd which evidently ex-
pected something more of sensa-
tional nature than was put on the
stage.
The censorship and the fiance of
tine countess, Ralph Neale, who is
said to have rewritten the play, had
converted it into harmless and un-
interesting drama, which was so un-
convincing that the restless audience
frequently laughed at scenes supposed
to be serious, and particularly poked
fun at the actor who eloped with the
married heroine and was supposed to
be the Earl of Craven.

notified the governor of the state
of Nayarit of the attack upon the
Americans and requested that troops
be sent in pursuit of the attacking
party.
The message of the consul to the

tion.
