('.tiring his interview with Clerk
Thomas, as reported in the article.
Further investigation of the inci
dents at the city hall on Monday, part
of which were included in the story 'of
yesterday morning, shows that early
..ionday forenoon Mayor Young called
I'ily Clerk Thomas on the telephone
and diicetcd him to call a special
meeting of the city commission for
five o'clock that afternoon. He said
lhat the matter of the laying of .1
sidewalk on West Van IPiren street
required immediate attention and that
there were paving bids to he opened
at that hour. Mef re concluding he
suggested that the hour had Letter he
i h inged to three o'clock as ho want

to a hospital where he had been in
formed here were patients who were
iinal.le to visit the registration sta
tions and who desired toTeeister. Ho
made no re inest at that iime to seni
out n cieri:.
When throe o'clock came he was
the only member of the commission
in sight, although Ommissioner Mac
l'ean had been hi the city hall about
uvo o'clock. After waiting for a few
minutes the mayor remarked that it
was strange none of the commission
ers had come for the meeting. Mr
Thonas assured him all had been
notified but that one or two had said
over the telephone they didn't sr-e just
how they could attend. He remarked
that he believed it was a politcal
game and that the commissioners did
not want to attend anyway.
Thin for the first time the mayor
asked tlie del k if he would send out
a clerk to register patients at a hos
pital. He said that the clerk was In
absolute control of he r, gistral ion
and that if he wauled to all he had
to do was to direct a clerk to go.
.Mr. Thomas told the mayor that his
hands uT-re tied by the action of the
commission at u priviotis meeting
when the question of sendit-g out
regis rais was decisively voted down.
He told him. too, it wius a matter
strictly up to the commission and one
in which he had no voice. He told
him further th.il he could n t, legalh
or conscientiously, do as requested as
the rictirn of the commission was his
only gli de.
That he hud to consider neither the
tale of ihe greatest body of men in

of a ro'licking Irishman, O'Cary, the

traditions of his regiment, undergoes

'Slippery Slim's Wedding Day" is a
ini'-ieelcr of the type that is made

Tom Mix made it is its endorsement.

Cdrls and more girls is the slogan
of tjie big shew at the Columbia

hy reason of the- fact that it is the
first show of the kind to pay a visit
to Phoenix in two years. These not

inal "Yellow Kid," "Happy Hooligan,"
"Mutt and Jeff,'- and many other mu

Pauline Frederick at Arizona
The attraction at the Arizona today
for the matinee will be a spectacular
and faithful adaptation of the celj-iiiate-.l
novel and play, "Mella Honna,
by Mohert Hichens and J. fl. Pagan,
which has been adapted by the Fam
ous Players Film company with Paul
ine Frederick in the title role.
As a "nest seller" the novel created
a stir a few years ago and was the
basis of the play "Bella Donna," in
which Alia Nazimova, the distin
puished Russian actress, won her first
American triumph, and an even great
er success than she won in the Ibsen
roles' which made her famous. P.y
her wonderful work in ' Zaza." M iss
Frederick, who interprets the same

has more than prepared her friends
for a superb performance. Hers 'u

beauty of its charm; it is a fascinat

commission nor any other individual
-.roup of individuals, was the response
of the mayor. He brought in the city
attorney to back hini.ui The clerk
assured tin mn,;nr lhat he did not
want t- dejrive any person of the
opportunity to register, but that being
: imoly the clerk :f the commission he
did not have Ihe antic rity to go over
tue heads of tbe commission and what
was further t; at he would not.
II has since been learned that one
of the registering clerks, after clos
ing her station for the day, went to
the hospital in question and regis
tered four nurses, all of whom were
physically able to have come to a
registration station, there being one
within two blocks of the institution.
So far as it has been possible to as
certain not a patient was registered.
.fir. Thomas said yesterday he has
tried to be free of any entanglements
vi the present camp.'ign and that
knowing this it hurts to he accised
of unfair dealings and of showing fa
vors to one side and withholding them
from another. The mayor's attitude,
he says, was absolutely unfair to him
and consequently that of the Republi
can was unfair to him in presentin",
only his side and in apparently throw-,
ing the odium, if there was any to In
thrown. ii.n the clerk, when as a
laattor of fact he was hound to carry
out the orders of the majority of the
commission irrespective of Irs person
al inclinations.
The .RepuolVan in its story of the
affair did say that the clerk's reasor.
for not cemplving wiih the mayor's
request was that the majority of the
commissioners had voted against send
ing out registrars and therefore he
could not in justice to the majority
do otherwise.
