A Film Epic

"An American Tragedy" Theo-

Flying High" Director Has No
Use for Smut
"The easiest and most dangerous
thing in show business is to achieve
humor by salacious methods. The
hardest job in the entertainment
field is to be always clean and
humorous at the same time"
Responsible for this statement is
Charles Riesner, director of such
successful comedy offerings as
Politics, Reducing" Caught
Short" and most recently, Flying
High" which will be on display at
the Oxford Theatre Sunday and
Monday.
Personally" said Riesner "I
am grateful for the circumstances
that put me into film work. The
temptation presented by the stage
to take the easiest way to laughs.
When we make a film like Flying
High we know that it is CONNER
cial suicide to insert salacious or
doubtful material. Photoplays have
such tremendously wide circula-
ton, and cost so much to make,
that improper pictures are imme-
diately punished by non attend
ance."

BRAKEMAN CASE
DISMISSED HERE
BY JUDGE HARDY.

On the grounds that Nose Drach-
man has no control whatsoever ov-
er the expenditures of the Public
Utilities Consolidated Corporation
in Santa Cruz County, the case of
the, city of Nogales versus Mr..
Drachman was dismissed yesterday
afternoon by Police Judge Charles
e. Hardy.
The dismissal followed shortly af-
ter court convened Immediately af-
ter Attorney Duane Bird, counsel
for Mr. Drachman, pointed out Mr..
Drachman's powers to the court.
The federal court order appointing
him ancillary receiver for the utiI-
tiles company in Arizona recites his
powers, and does not confer on him
the power to control or dispense
funds of the company in Santa
Cruz County.
Drachman had been arrested for
failure of the company to pay its
license taxes to the city of No
gales. A similar action against w.
H. Grove, local manager of the COM
pany, came up iE court some weeks
ago and as result of that case
the validity of the city ordinance is
to be tested.

Roosevelt To Be Asked To Try To Save Army Post
STREET LIGHTS NOT TURNED
ON BECAUSE OF DELINQUENT
BILL OWING POWER COMPANY
City Refuses To Pay Light Bill Power Company
Refuses To Pay License Tax, Legion To
Patrol If Lights Still Off Tonight

Nogales was in darkness last
night.
The border metropolis was with
out street lights and to add to the
the darkness there was no moon,
therefore, no such thing as moon
light schedule was being observed.
The lights were not on-because
the city of Nogales had not paid
it's light bill for the month ending
October "a. The Public Utilities
Consolidated Corporation, showing
no favoritisrn, is treating the city
government just like it does any
of its delinquent stomers-indiv-
idual Or otherwise.
The city's light bill was presented
by the power company on November
1 and on the 18th of the month it
became delinquent. Then elapsed a
five day period before the usual
cutting off day, the goth.
A letter was then sent to the city
and the city in turn sent to the
power company five license tax re-
ceiptS and a check to cover the
difference between the amount of
the license taxes and the light bill
of $316.40 owing by the city for
street lights.
The company, through its attorn-
ey, Duane Bird, returned the license
tax receipts and check and inform
ed the city fathers if the light bin
was not paid oy Monday night the
lights would not be turned on that
night. One day of grace was given,
however, so the lights came on
Monday night but not last night.
The city's refusal to pay it's light
bill is result, it is said, Of the
power company some time ago re-
fusing to pay It's license tax for gas
and lights. This refusal on the part
of the power company, the COM
pany contends, was on the grounds
that the license tax is invalid and
one of the company's officials said
yesterday that the validity of same
will be tested through court action.

BROKERS STILL
"UP IN THE AIR"

NogaleS brokers, commission men
and other handlers of west coast of
Mexico winter vegetables at this
border port, were still puzzled yes
terday as to how or whether they
are going to operate this winter.
Up to yesterday afternoon there,
had been no change in the situa-
ton from that announced in Sat
urday's International Local brok-
crs are still up in the air" and as
one broker said yesterday: 1--WE
don't know where we stand. We
may quit altogether or we may
carry the fight further and try to
have operation of the proposed CO.
operative plan of the states of Son
ora and Sinaloa put off until a
year from now. If we are allowed to
handle our own stuff this winter
we will be satisfied to some extent"
The Sinaloa State Congress-, at
Culiacan, Saturday night, passed
law compelling growers to ship
their products through the Wells
Fargo Express Company, one brok-
er advised The International yes
terday. Under the new law all
growers must pack their crops, load
their cars, then turn their bills of
lading over to the express company
for distribution in the United States.
Meetings of growers and conf
mission, appointed to put the new
ruling into effect, have been held
the past severa1 days at Guaymas,
Navajoa, Cajeme, etc., and meet
ing may be held in Nogales, Sonora,
within the next few days.
E. r. Jones of New York City,
president of the Wells Fargo Ex-
press Company of Mexico, arrived
here yesterday to confer today with
brokers.
Reports were in circulation yes
terday that if the new cooperative
plan is actually put into effect.
several well known brokers of this
city will close their offices and 10
cate elsewhere. One prominent bro
ker, it is said, has already made
plans to locate in Mexico City.

it will remain and that perhaps a
permanent post will be erected dur

FLU EPIDEMIC
SWEEPS STATE

PHOENIX, Nov. 22.-Dr. Charles
w. Suit, state superintendent of
public health, said yesterday imme-
diate action will be taken by au-
thorities in an effort to check the
spread OF Influenza sweeping Ari-
IONA. He issued a warning to the
public to guard against the disease
and asked for cooperation in curb
ing it.
More than $50 cases of influen-
"a have been reported to the state
board of health during the first
three weeks of November" DR.. Suit
said. IT believe there have been at
least like number which have not
been reported due to the fact many
patients do not call physicians.
so far the epidemic has not been
of the virulent type, however, am
asking that every precautlon be
taken to prevent an unnecessary
spread OF the disease 1t is char
acteristic of Influenza that the cas-
es grow more severe as the epidem-
ic progresses.
Il strongly urge that at the first
symptoms of influenza the patient
immediately call physician. A
pain in the back and legs and rise
n temperature are early signs Of
The disease. People should avoid
crowded and over-heated buildings
st as much DIS possible during the
epidemic and eat moderately of a
varied diet. drink an abundance OF
water. exercise in the open and get
as much fresh air as possible.
Isolation should be observed be-
cause of the fact influenza is very
CONTAGIOUS. Few f(talaties would
result if the patient upon contract
ing the disease would take complete
care of himself for the first day OF
two.
Medical science has so far been
unable to check influenza outbreaks
and communities must depend upon
hvgienic measures and common
sense to prevent fatalities"

miles of here.
Mr.. Slipher, cooperating with the
Iowa party, charted the courses Of
meteors as they flashed intermit-
tently through the atmosphere here.
DR.. Wylie had estimated that from
four to 100 shooting stars" would
be sighted per minute, but The
shower fell below the most meagre
estimate.
The climax of the shower came
at high noon Wednesday, but bril-
liant desert sunlight prevented OBJ
servers from witnessing it. DR.. Wy
lie said his scientific calculations
indicated the greatest number of
meteors would fall on the opposite
side of the earth in the Orient.
The 1882 Leonid visit is the great
est scheduled thus far in the twen-
tieth century. The next is schedul-.
ed for 1865, with others at SO year
intervals.
A belief that Jupiter or other
planets may have 1hi-jacked" a
part of the shower was expressed
Wednesday by DR.. Wylie. If the
tiny particles are drawn within the
orbits of other bodies they fail to
reach the earth.
Prof. Thomas C. Poulter, instruc-
tor at Iowa Wesleyan college at
Mount Pleasant, is second in COM
mand of the expedition. He will
accompany the second Byrd Ant
artic expendition to the south pole
next September. A large part Of the
equipment brought to Arizona by
the party will be taken on the Byrd
expedition for studying Antartic
skies.
Another member of the party is
Prof. r. E. Crilley Of Iowa Wes-
leyan college, who is aiding in corn
putaing the mathematical problems
presented in making a meteor sur
vey.

an independent observer, is with
