Romaine Fielding, one of the most efficient directors in the busi ness, will lead a company of Luliin ar tists to the Arizona Capital about Jan uary 11, to establish quarters here for several months of good out-doors work. A wile received several days ago by Lebbeus Chapman of The Valley bank, confirms a Republican Scoop story that Mr. Kidding would select Phoenix as bis headquarters. Correspondence be tween Mr. Fielding and Maitland Da vies, dramatic critic on The Republi can, alsc) outlines the word to be done. Yesterday, the board of triule named a committee to meet the Lubin troupe on its arrival, and to do all the neces sary things to assure the film folk a pleasant and profitable stay. P. C. Gcttins heads the committee and the members are L- Chapman, T. D. Shaughncssey, Jo E. Rickards, A. R. after, Maitland Davies and Lyle Ab bott. Mr. shaughnessy, who is secretary of the state fair, has promised the Lubin company the use of all the parapherna lia and the grounds where the annual show Is put on in Phoenix. It is pos sible that the studio and store rooms will be located at the fair grounds. A great deal of equipment is necessary to do a studio of such proportions as Mr. Fielding requires, and no place but the fair grounds affords a proper place fo keep it. The troupe, which numbers about thirty, leave Philadelphia en route for Phoenix on January 4. o NEW JUSTICES FOR OHIO. COLFMBCS. Dec. 31 Three su preme court Justices will be inaug urated tomorrow, Chief Justice Hugh L. Nichols, chosen for a six-year term; Justice Thomas A. Jones and Ldward S. Matthias. The latter two were - elected at the November elections. One of the things that the new year will start off with, is a bran new mo torcycle agency in Phoenix. And that's the Arizona Motorcycle and Supply company, John W. Thompkins and John Hohl, owners. For some time, it has been known in motorcycle circles that Hohl and Thompkins planned coagulating and then expanding, and the deed was done this week, when the new firm secured the old Capitol Paint, shop from John Gregg and opened up for business. Thompkins, who, with partners has been conducting the state agency for the Flying Merkel on North Central avenue, went in with Hohl, whose mo torcycle selling and repairing experi ence is second to none in Arizona. A sort of a riders' club, the like of which has never been thought of in Arizona, will be a permanent attach ment of the new shop. A room, with magazines, smoking tobacco and other necessaries to the comfort of the riders, will be furnished near the entrance. The shop will be railed off and a place provided for those who would work on their ow n machines. Krwin G. Baker, the famous motorcycle racer, will be here shortly to take up his headquar ters at the shop. He will have his pri vate bench, where he will work on his racing machines. It is also stated that Mr. Baker will be a sort of consulting engineer and backer of the new firm. o KRUPPS INCREASE CAPITAL BERLIN, Dec. .II. The first pay ment on '.he additional capital for the big Krupp gun works at Essen v, ill be made tomorrow. As usual, the Krupp family will take up the nt w stock.

Isn't this a grand day?" What did it matter that no one was directly addressed by the well known merchant? He was speaking right out of his happy and contented heart, and he didn't give a cuss that no one but a wandering rrpcrter happened to hear him Impeded by the idea that it was a pretty good old sort of a day, at that, said reporter climbed the stairs to the weather observatory of R.

No less than seventy percent of the students of the technical school of the I'niversity of Vienna have also gone to the war.

BF.RLIN, Dec. 311. old count Haese ler, the retired field marshal, is play ing a unique role in this war. Some twenty years ago military men, both German and, foreign, were accustomed lo look to him as leader of Germany's armies in the event of a war as he had acquired a great reputation as a strategist. But the war did not come in time to give him bis great oppor tunity. He had fought through three wars against Denmark in 1SK4. against Austria in IStis anil against France in 1 S7, but he was then too young to attain high rank, and when the pre-sent war broke out he was too old to command an army. Though he was approaching bis seventy-ninth year, he went to the Kaiser, it is said, j and begged permission to accompany j the troops into France, pleading hu morously that he hail lost a rib there j in J S70 which he wanted to find. ! Haeseler got the king's consent, and lor weeks he was following the German armies, astonishing the soldiers with his utter contempt of danger. His former orderly, Arnold Rechberg, tells in a German monthly some interesting stories about his daily life with the old field marshal. It has repeatedly occur red, says Rechberg.that the Count has ridden in the firing line of the infant ry while making an attack. The men were advancing only by rushes and leaning low to the ground; but Haese ler would ride calmly forward with his attendant, the target of French rifles: and at times he was even fired upon by liachine guns and cannon without be ing hit. In this way a superstitious tradition has found foothold among the soldiers as to the old marshal heing su peinaturally bullet-proof. An incident illustrating bis cookdar ing. occurred in a certain battle wlien he was approaching a village in which the natives were firing upon the Ger mans trom. their barred houses. To the left and the right the German lines were advancing. Somebody warned him not to ride through the village ow ing to the "snipping" going on there: but he rode through without getting a scratch. Arrived at the farther side he met a ptarol under a lieutenant coming back from a reconnaissance, and re marked to him: "Comrade, I advise you not to ride through 'this village; the citizens are firing from their 'windows, and you woulc he in danger." On another occasion the old general was watching from the edge of a Wood a bittle in which the Germans were trying to dislodge the French from a village -which was strongly ' occupied. After a time firing from the village ceased, but it was still uncertain whether the French had withdrawn, so 't was decided to send forward a pa trol. When the patrol rode into the village the first man it met was Count Haeseler, accompanied by his orderly nnd H French prisoner. He had antici pated the patrol on the guess that the of officers around him.
