IF YOU SEE IT IN THE TRIBUNE IT'S SO Phoenix Tribune Key to Happiness ARIZONA'S LEADING NEWSPAPER In 10,000 Homes TALKS IN HIS SLEEP TELLS OF MURDER COMMITTED IN 1908 WIFE CLAIMS HUSBAND CON FESSED TO MURDER COMMIT TED IN 1908 (Preston News Service) WASHINGTON, D. C., July 7—Samuel Brown, aged 41 years, gave his wife, Mrs. Emma Brown, whom it is alleged he has not been treating in a manner conductive to matrimonial bliss, a splendid opportunity to free herself of having to continue taking the presence of a third person and also tioned something about the murder of a saloonkeeper the morning of January 25, 1908, last Friday night. Mrs. Brown, it is said, overheard the talk and the next morning questioned him about it. Brown is alleged to have admitted to her to have taken part in the murder with another man, whom the police say has since died. Brown was arrested following an investigation after Mrs. Brown had told police officials about her husband's alleged confession. Brown Denies Charge When placed under arrest at his home Monday, it is stated that Brown remarked. "You think I killed Reid, but I didn't." It was learned by the police that his wife questioned her husband in abuse from her husband when he men that she planned to apply to the district attorney's for a warrant for her husband for his alleged brutal treatment. When questioned by the officials Mrs. Brown had a discolored face and bruised arms, the result of her husband's attacks, she stated and freely discussed the alleged confession regarding the murder of the saloon-keeper. Says He Became Worried It was early last week that she became aware that her husband was worried over something, she stated, and was talking in his sleep. "He said 'Go away from me Reid; I don't want to hurt you any more,'" she said. In addition to talking in his sleep, the police were told by neighbors of Brown, that they often heard him in his stable at night, while putting his horse away, mention the name of Reid and make use of remarks suggesting he was afraid of being harmed by some one by the name of Reid. The Reid murder in 1908 has been practically a mystery. Charles Phillips, a porter in Reid's employ, was placed in jail as a United States witness and kept there for more than a year, the detectives hoping they would be able to fasten the crime on him. Phillips was finally released and paid $1.25 a day for the time he was detained in jail.

July 7.—Rev. T. L. Ballon, widely known evangelist, is literally turning this city upside down by his thrilling messages. At last Thursday night's meeting more than 2,000 persons heard him speak on "Seven Lips in the Jordan." Dr. Ballon stressed the effects of wrong conceptions of life, wrong ideals, and wrong training. "It is not where you were born," declared Dr. Ballon, "but what you do after you are born that counts. Lincoln was born in an humble home in Kentucky, Booker T. Washington was born in a slave pit on a dirt floor, and Christ was born in a stable." "Too many of my people are always worrying about dying. The things that should be thought of most are how to live, treat yourself and body right, treat your neighbor right; prepare to live right right and you will die right; declared the speaker. THREE BOYS DROWN WHILE IN SWIMMING (Preston News Service) WASHINGTON, D. C., July 7.—Three boys were drowned in District waters last Monday afternoon. The boys were, William Brooks, aged 13; William Fowler, aged 13; and Theodore Harris, aged 7 years. The Brooks and Fowler boys were in a pool in Watts branch near the Benning race track, where Brooks, it is said, was being taught to swim.

The bodies of the three boys were soon recovered and the coroner gave certificates of accidental death. GETTING ON RAPIDLY "Well, how many orders did you get yesterday?"

On Monday night this little lady arrived at the Times Square Theatre from the Eastside and while a number of the big white dailies stepped on her hard, some of them have been charitable and allowed Lizzie to put on her stuff and say that they like it. They tell us that the world's greatest writer, Alex Rogers, who had much to do with the many successes of the Williams and Walker-shows, was called at the last minute to put the finishing touches on Miss Lizzie before allowing her to parade on Broadway, and she is making a good showing. In the meantime, Captain Henry Wilson, a well known figure in the amusement world here, has instituted legal proceedings against one of the producers of the show. It would seem that Lizzie, before taking on her new title, went on the road as "Ebony Knights" and could not get back "Cap" being a good fellow, advanced Creamer, so 'tis charged, enough of the where-withal for the return of the artists. All this happened about six months ago and "Cap" not having heard anything that would lead him to believe the money was on its way to him, went and asked the law to please help him collect as he needed the mozuma.

VIRGINIANS IN ROW OVER LOCATION OF NEGRO SCHOOL SITE (Preston News Service) RICHMOND. Va., July 7.—During the public session of city council last Monday night when the petition for a Negro school building in the west end came up for consideration a casual observer would have thought one of the gravest questions of the age was being decided. At the conclusion of an earnest and heated discussion of a petition from the city school board, asking that the ordinance providing for erection of a school building in the west end for colored children, be amended so that the building may be erected in the Negro section of Sidney, which took up a period of more than three hours, engaged in by many of Richmond's so-called representative citizens for and against, the finance committee voted to recommend the rejection of the petition by a vote of 5 to 2. Those who advocated the erection of the building in the Negro section of Sidney gave as their main reasons that if the school is not built at that point the colored children, of whom there is about 800, it was said, will be compelled to walk more than a mile to attend the nearest Negro school on the north side of Broad street, and that their pathway will be through white sections and over dangerous crossings. The opponents of the petition declared that the erection of such a building in a white section of the city would mean the perpetuation of another "Jackson Ward," which would grow by leaps and bounds after the school building is completed. Negroes would gather in that section like rats. The discussion assumed wide scope. The question of Negro suffrage, equal rights, and social, political and educational equality were discussed by various speakers. Although it was noted that no one on either side expressed a desire to curtail the school facilities offered Negroes in this city, but it was evident from all sides that Negroes should not be encouraged in "encroaching upon white" territory, but should be confined and forced to themselves.

Not only has every senatorial and congressional vacancy been filled by the election of a Republican, but such primaries as have been held have shown a great preponderance of Republicans in the voting. This does not mean that everybody is pleased. There is much groaning over taxes, but four-fifths of the national budget is a permanent charge, for which the present administration is not responsible. There have been delays in readjustment, and congress has been dilatory but this has been due to the personnel of the two houses. The inevitable post bellum reaction was staved off for a time by a fatuous policy. It had to come as it has come after all great wars. Such problems as must be settled will require treatment by men who will not be afraid of losing votes to the point of misrepresenting the best interests of the whole people. The Republican party should nominate such men. The Democrats have no chance in Arizona except through arousing factionalism among Republicans or the failure of the party leaders to aid in nominating candidates that will meet the approval of the rank and file of the party. It is in the hands of the party itself to make this a Republican year. RULES IN CASE OF FIRE at the floor. The clearest air is over head with woollen wrap, with the eyes.

The rain came down in torrents, threatening to drench him to the skin. The only shelter he could find was a hollow log nearby and into that he crawled. Presently the dry log began to swell from water and he found himself unable to move. He made up his mind that he was about to be suffocated, and as usual in such cases, his past life began to unfold itself before him. Suddenly, he remembered an unpaid subscription to his home paper. That made him feel fairly small so that he was able to move. Then there flashed before his mind the thought that he had no money in either bank in town, and that he would leave his wife and child penniless. He then felt so small that he was able to crawl right on through the little hole at the other end of the log.—Tombstone Prospector. This is destined to be a hard year on crooks of every description.

He saw her luff up into the wind and hang there shivering; a moment later her salts came down by the run, and he saw a little splash under her port bow as her hook took bottom. There was a commotion on decks, and then to Mr. Gibney's dying ears came faintly the shouts and songs of the black boys as a whaleboat shot into the breakers and pulled swiftly toward the beach. Mr. Gibney dreamed that a white man sat in the stern sheets of this whaleboat, and as the boat touched the beach it seemed to Mr. Gibney that this man sprang ashore and ran swiftly toward him. And— VAN GOGH It Was the Finish. The Commodore Knew It. Mr. Gibney twisted his suffering lips into a wry smile as he realized the oddities of this mirage—it seemed to him that this visionary white man bore a striking resemblance to Nells Halvorsen. Nells Halvorsen, of all men! Old Nells, "the squarehead" deckhand of the green-pea trade! Dull, bowlegged Nells, with his lost dog smile and his— Mr. Gibney rubbed his eyes feebly and half staggered to his feet. What was that? A shout? Without doubt he had heard a sound that was not the moaning of their remorseless prison-keeper, the sea. And— "Hands off," shrieked Mr. Gibney and struck feebly at the imaginary figure rushing toward him. No use. He felt himself swept into strong arms and carried an immeasurable distance down the beach. Then somebody threw water in his face and pressed a drink of brandy and sweet water to his parched lips. His swimming senses rallied a moment, and he discovered that he was lying in the bottom of a whaleboat. McGuffey lay beside him, and on a thwart in front of him sat good old Nells Halvorsen with Captain Scraggs' head on his knees. As Mr. Gibney looked at this strange tableau Captain Scraggs opened his eyes, glanced up at Nells Halvorsen, and spoke: "Why if it ain't old squarehead Nells," he muttered wonderingly. "If it ain't Nells, I'll go to hades or some other seaport." He closed his eyes again and subsided into a sort of lethargy, for he was content. He knew he was saved. Mr. Gibney rolled over, and, struggling to his knees, leaned over McGuffey and peered into his drawn face. "Mac, old shipmate! Mac, speak to me. Are you alive?" B. McGuffey, Esquire, opened a pair of glazed eyes and stared at the commodore. "Did we lick 'em?' he whispered. "The last I remember the king was puttin' it all over Scraggsy. And that Tab boy—was—no slouch." McGuffey paused, and glanced wartly around the boat, while a dawning horror appeared in his sunken eyes. "Go back, Nells—go back—for God's sake. There's two niggers—still—on the island. Bring—em some—water. They're cannibals—Nells, but never—mind. Get them—aboard—the poor devils—if they're living. I—wouldn't leave a crocodile on that—hole hole, if I could—help it." An hour later the Robinson Crusoe syndicate, including the man Friday and the Goat, were safe aboard the Maggie II, and Nells Halvorsen, with the tears streaming down his bronzed cheeks, was sparingly doling out to them a mixture of brandy and water. And when the syndicate was strong enough to be allowed all the water it wanted, Nells Halvorsen propped them up on deck and told the story. When he had finished, Captain Scraggs turned to Mr. Gibney. "Gib, my dear boy," he said, "make a motion." "I move," said the commodore, "that we set Tabu-Tabu and the king down on the first inhabited island we can find. They've suffered enough. And I further move that we readjust the ownership of the Maggie II syndicate and cut the best Swede on earth in on a quarter of the profits." "Second the motion," said McGuffey. "Carried," said Captain Scraggs. CHAPTER XIV. The lookout on the power schooner Maggie II had sighted Diamond head before Commodore Adelbert P. Gibney, Captain Phineas P. Scraggs, and Engineer Bartholomew McGuffey were enabled to declare, in all sincerity (or at least with as much sincerity as one might reasonably expect from this band of roving rascals), that they had en- Uruguay will celebrate its centenary in 1925.

"HOT DOG" (Preston News Service) NEW YORK CITY, July 7.—As we had said time after time in these columns, they are making up shows here over night, and we do not want the people throughout this broad land of the Newnited Communities to be surprised if told of a new show every week. Irvin Miller, who, when he is not busy rehearsing his now shaw called "Hurry On" can be seen heading a big act, will be leaving for Washington soon, it is said, to open at the Howard Theatre in musical extravaganza called "Hot Dog." This makes an addition to the long list of new shows put out by colored people recently. The Smarter Set company is playing "Up and Down" again. The arrival of this company on Broadway is looked for with much interest. Possibly that company will finally get a vehicle on which they can ride into Broadway. CARD OF THANKS I wish to thank the Hooker T. Washington Hospital Relief Club, the Phoenix Tabernacle, Salt Valley Chapter O. E. S., and friends who showed kindness to me during my illness. Words are inadquate for me to express my sincere gratitude, so I must be content to say, thank you, one and all. Mrs. J. J. Brown. 1722 East Jefferson street.

Day of 1040 Bast Madison street is confined to his home with smallpox, The Green Pea Pirates tirely recovered from thelr harrowing experiences on the desert Island of Tu- vana-tholo, in the Friendly group. At the shout of “Land, ho!” Mr. Me- Goffey yawned, stretched himself, and sat up tn the wicker lounging chalr where he had sprawled for days with ‘Mr. Gibney and Captain Seraggs, un- der the awning on top of the house. He flexed his bleeps reflectively, while his compantons, stretched at fall length in thelr respective chairs, watched him lazily. “As a member o' the Maggie syndit- cate an’ ownin’ an’ votin’ a quarter tn- terest,” boomed the engineer, “I here- by call a meetin’ o' the said syndicate for the purpose o' transactin’ any an’ all business that may properly come before the meetin’.” “Pass the word for Neils Halvor- sen,” suggested Mr. Gibney. “Bless his squarehead soul,” he added. “We got a quorum without him, an’ besides this business ts just between us three.” “Meetin'll come to order." The commodore tapped the hot deck with his bure heel twice. “Haul away, Mac.” “I move you, gentlemen, that It be the sense o° this meetin’ that B, Me- Guffey, Esquire, be an’ he ts hereby app'inted a committee 0’ ofe to lam the everlastin’ daylights out o' ‘that sinful former chief mate o’ ourn for abandonin’ the syndicate to a horrible death on that there desert Island. Do T hear a second to that motion?” “Second the motion,” chirped Cap- tain Scraggs. “The motion's denied,” announced Mr. Gibney firmly. “Now, looky here, Gib, that ain't fair. Didn't you fight Tabu-Tabu an’ didn’t Scraggsy fight the king o’ Kan- dayu? I ain't had no fightin’ this en- tire v'yage an’ I did cal'late to lick that doggone mate.” “Mac, it can’t be done nohow.” “Oh, {t can't, eh? Well, I'l Just bet you two boys my interest in the syndi eate—" “It ain't that, Mac, {t ain't that. No- body's doubtin’ your natural ability to mop him up. But it ain't polley. You wasn't sore agin ‘em cannibal savages, was you? You made Neils go back an’ save ‘em, an’ it took us two days to beat up to the first In- habited island an’ drop ‘em off—" “But a cannibal's like adumb beast, Gib. He ain't responsible. This mate knows better.” “Ah!” Mr, Gibney leveled a horny forefinger at the engineer. “That's where you hit the’nail on the head. He’s too fly, and there's only two ways to keep him from flyin’ away with us. The first is to feed him to the sharks and the second 1s to treat him like a long-lost brother. I know he ought to be hove overboard, but I ain't got the heart to kill him In cold blood. Consequently, we got to let the villain live, an’ {f you go to beatin’ him up, Mac, you'll make him sore an’ he'll peach on us when we get to Hono- lulu. If us three could get back to San Francisco with clean hands, Td say Mek the beggar an’ lick him for fair. But we got to remember that this mate was one o' the original filibuster crew o' the old Maggle I. The day we tackled the Mexican navy an’ took this power schooner away from ’em, we put ourselves forty fathom plumb outside the law, an’ this mate was present an’ knows {t. We've changed the vessel’s name an’ rig, an’ doctored up the old Maggie's papers to suit the Maggie I, an’ we've give her a new dress. But at that, {t's hard to dis- guise @ ship in a live port, an’ the se- eret service agents o' the Mexican gov- ernment may be a-layin’ for us in San Francisco; and with this here mate agin us an’ ready to turn state's evi. ge 7 (a) —— PAP > Gaby PVT OL ae oS Se I A “We're Pirates Under the Law—” dence, we're pirates under the law, an’ it don’t take much imagination to see three pirates swingin’ from the same yard-arm, No, sir, Mac.

Then, with all three of us safe an’ ‘out o’ the mess, an’ the evidence off our hands, we'll clear out for Gawa’s coun- try an’ look around for some sort of profitable investment.” The commodore sighed. “She's a love of a boat an’ it breaks my heart to give up the only command I've ever had, but the fact 1s, Mac, her posses- ston by us {s dangerous, an’ we don't need her, an’ we can't sell her because her record's got blurs on it.

Mac, {t makes the explainin’ all the harder. Besides, we're ‘three to one, an’ {f {t comes to a show-down later we can outswear the mate.” Captain Seraggs picked his snaggle teeth with the little blade of his Jack- cknife and cogitated a minute. “Well,” he announced presently, “far be {t from me to fly In the face o' a felon’s death. I've made a heap ot money, follerin’ Gib's advice, an’ bust my bob-stay if I don’t stay put on this, Gib, It’s your lead.” “Well, I'll follow sult. Gib’s got all the trumps,” acquiesced the engineer, “We got plenty 0’ dough an’ no board bills comin’ due, so we'll loaf along- shore until Gtb digs up somethin’ good.” “How about Netls?" querled Captain Scraggs. “Do we continue to let that ex-deckhand in on our fortunes?” “If Neils Halvorsen had asked you that question when he come to rescue you the day you lay a-dyin’ o° thirst on that desert Island, wouldn't you have sald yes?” “Sure pop.” “Then don't ask no questions that's unworthy of you," sald Mr. Gibney se- verely. “I don't want to see none o° them green-pea trade ethles croppin’ up tn you, Scraggsy. If It wasn't for that Swede the sea-gulls'd be pickin’ ofr bones now. Neils Harvorsen Is In- cluded in this syndicate for good.” “Amen.” This from the honest Mc- Guffey. “Meetin’s adjourned.” sald Captain Seraggs telly. Under the direction of the crafty commodore, the valuable cargo of the Maggte Tl was disposed of In Hono- lulu, During the period while the schooner lay at the dock discharging, Captain Scraggs und MeQuffey pru- dently remained in the cabin with the perfidious mate, In order that, should an investigation be undertaken later by the Treasury department, no man might swear that the real Phineas Seraggs, filibuster, had been tr, ilono- lulu on a certain date. The Kanaka erew of the schooner Mr. Gthney man- aged to ship with an old shipmaster friend bound for New Guinea, so thelr testimony was out of the way for a while, at least.

He was much moved. “You don’t mean tt, sir, do you?” he faltered. “I hope I may never see the back o’ my neck if T don’t,” replied the skip- per. “Surest thing you know, brother,” shouted Mr. McGuffey and swatted the deluded mate between the shoulders. “Take her with our compliments. You was a good brave mate until you went wrong. I ain't forgot how you sprayed the hillsides with lead the day Gib an’ Scraggsy was took by them cannibals. No, sir-ee! I ain't holding no grudge. It's human to commit erime. I've committed one or two my- self. Good luck to you, matey. Hope you make a barrel o' money with. the old girl.” “Thanks,” the mate mumbled: “I ain't deseryin’ 0° this nohow,” and he commenced to snivel a ttle, Mr. Gibney forgot that he was play- ing a hypoerite’s part, and his gener- ous nature overcame him, “Dog my cats,” he blustered, “what's the use givin’ him the yessel if we don't give him some spondulicks to outfit her with grub an’ supplies? Poor devil! I bet he ain't got a cent to bless himself with. Seraggsy, old tar- pot, if we're goin’ to turn over a new leaf an’ be Christians, let's sail under a full cloud o' canvas.” “By Neptune, that's so, Gib. ‘This feller did us an awful dirty trick, but at the same time there ain't a coward. ly bone in his bull carcass, 1 ain't forgot how he stood to the guns that day off the Coronados when we was attacked by the Mexicans.” “Stake the feller, Gib,” advised Mc- Guffey, and wiped away a vagrant tear. He was quite overcome at his own generosity and the manner in which it had touched the hard heart of the {iniquitous mate. Mr. Gibney Ietd five one-hundred- dollar bills in the mate’s palm, “Good-by,” he said gently, “an’ see If you can't be as much of a man an’ as good a sport hereafter as them you've wronged an’ who's forgive you fully and freely.” ~ One by one the three freebooters of the green-pea trade pumped the stricken mate's hand, tossed him @ scrap of advice, and went overside in- to the small boat which was to take them ashore. Tt was a solemn parting and Mr. Gibney and McGuffey were ‘snuffling audibly. ‘The next day, as the Hilonian steamed out of the harbor, bearing the syndicate back to San Francisco, they. looked across at the little Maggie II for the last time, and observed that the mate was on deck, superintending three Kanaka sallors who were holst- ing supplies aboard from a bumboat. Commodore Gtbney bade his” first command a misty farewell. z “Good-by, little ship,” he yelled and waved his hand. “Gawd! You was a witeh in a light wind.” Seven days after leaving Honolulu, the Hilontan steamied into San Fran- elsco bay. ‘The syndicate could not walt until she had tled up at her dock, and the minute the steamer had passed quarantine Mr. Gibney ‘hailed a pass- ing launch. Bag and baggage the happy quartette: descended tg the launch and landed at Melggs wharf. Mr. Gibuey stepped Into the wharfin- ger’s office and requested permission to use the telephone. “What's up, Gib?" demanded Cap- tain Seraggs. “I want to ‘phone for a automobile to come down an’ snake us up town Brasil is as large as the whole of Amusements For Good Work and Long Life Buy A Thor Washer Sold on Easy Terms NEW STATE ELECTRIC CO. 214 W.

GIANTS GOOSE-EGG REGULARS IN GAME _ TUESDAY JULY 47 Wiz White was in rare form Tues- day afternoon and the Western Giants buried the Phoenix Regulars in the dust for a 9-0 victory—the first de- feat for the local stars this season. White's teammates gave him per fect support and when Wiz has the backing he is invincible. Fritz at short was the fielding feature of the day cutting the Regulars from sev- eral hits that appeared almost safe Fritz also gathered two hits in five times up. “Heywood was the batting star of the game, the husky Giant first sacker gathering five hits in as many trips to the plate, ‘The Regulars played a good game up to the eighth inning when the fire- works started. Four hits, one pass, and four boots netted the Giants sev- en scores in the eighth frame. ‘The colored boys started hammering the ball in the second inning, but did not score until the third. In the fifth the Giants made four safe hits but ex- ceptionally fast fielding by the Reg- ulars prevented them from scoring, two men dying at the plate.. Hammond was touched for 16 safe hits in seven innings after which he was relieved by Brown who got away with two. A large crowd attended the game.

Stop! Don't tell me that white men do the same thing. I have seen what the average white man does and kiiow. This bra- zen ill-breeding should stop. We should ‘swallow hard, accept the truth and téach colored men some ordinary cour- tesies for they mean so much to us as a race, “If managers of our theatres are too timid to put down such rowdyism, then the minions of the law should be advised and instructed to take a hand. I know where the teaching should start—at home—but these Virds have long since passed away from the teach- ings and guidance of dear mother.” “The hope of the future colored man as to his manners is in the hands THE PHOENIX TRIBUNE—ALWAYS IMPROVING BASEBALL MEN ARE EDITOR OF COURIER (Preston News Service) _ PITTSBURGH, Pa., July 7—During ‘the trip of the Detroit Stars to this city last week Ira F.
