Pistol, according to a report of the ; case received by the Phoenix police, shot and killed the owner of a lunch counter three and one-half years ago following a dispute over a sandwich. Pistol, while awaiting trial escaped three times from the county jail there. The first time he made his escape through the aid of saws which were passed to him in Jail by his wife. When the man known here as Pat terson was arrested. Chief of Police Brisbois, seeking1 to corroborate in- i formation furnished by Patterson's supposed friend, wired the sheriff at San Angelo, receiving an immediate answer, saying to "hold Cris Pistol, alias Harry Patterson, wanted here for murder. Broke jail here. Will he re turn without requisition papers? If so will start at once." The telegram was signed by H. C. Allen, sheriff. Chief Brisbois asked Patterson if he would go without requisition, and Patterson said he would. "I will go any place," he is reported as saying Patterson, however, would not talk upon any angle of the crime and even refused lo answer when asked if he had ever been in Texas. The supposed friend and Patterson, according to ppHce advices, were about ! to leave Phoenix together on a freight train. Patterson, who since July 7. . Christian Science camp welfare work is now being carried on in 45 army nna navy camps in the United States under direction of tile Christian Science War Relief and Camp Welfare committee of the First Church of Christ, Scientist, in Boston. There are at present about 70 men and 15 women engaged in this work, and. women serving mainly as welfare room attendants. Conducted at first independently, the camp welfare work has been merged with the war relief work which the Christian Scientists were doing in for eign countries before the United States entered the war. For. both these pur poses about one million dollars has been raised. The aim of the Christian Scienie camp workers is to be as helpful as possible to all the men in the camps, whether or not they are Christian Sci entists, and particularly to give as sistance which may not be available at the time or place through any of the other camp welfare agencies. A fea ture of this phase of the work is an arrangement for keeping soldiers and sailors in close touch with their rela tives. Quick Communication Co-operating with the committee ir,' Boston, there is a Christian Science camp welfare committee in each state. The committee in the home state ot '. 1 a soldier or sailor co-operates by mail and telegraph with the committee of the state in which he is camped or stationed to form a direct and con stant link between the soldier oi sailor and his relatives.

It is so refreshing, so filled with just uhat you want to see and hear and never expect to, that it is in a class by itself. "Bunker Bean" is a whiskey washy sten-amale taker of dictation to a millionaire. He has aspirations, but no backbone. He consults a clair voyant and learns that he, was once a great king ol Egypt, and under the stimulating influence of the news he takes on new life, marries the daugh ter of his boss, goes to Europe for a honeymoon, but not before he and his wife had the hottest time ever dished out to a pair of lovers, for things hap pened to "His Majesty Bunker Bean" when he got it into his bean that he was a king. Jack Pickford plays the name part, and if you have not laughed since your mother-in-law died, here is one long scream coming to you, for "Bunker was a real "kink." This picture remains for Saturday, as well, and will be augmented with a Bray cartoon comedy. infrequently it has proved to be the means of relieving relatives of finan cial embarrassment, the committee in the home state making loans for use bv the relatives until their boy in Double Bill at The Hip Today Two complete features grace the bill at the Hip today. Madge Ken nedy in a Gojdwyn picture. "The Serv ice Star," and Neal Hart in "Naked Fists," a smashing western melo drama with a reason. "The Service Star" is timely, very novel, and is not a war picture. Just a girl longing for the right to wear a service-star pin. but who has no brother or sweetheart at the front. Then she does the thing that makes this yarn, she reads of the exploits of a young chap on the fight ing line, and she announces that he is her husband, and she hangs out a service flag in the window, and if the mother of the supposed husband had not immediately taken up the pseudo wife and install her in the palatial honje. How this girl discovers that the young man around the house is none other than her adopted husband avoiding the draft, and how things tumble over one another as she theat ens to expoose him and his wealthy mother for their crime until suddenly this story takes the most unique twist and ends with some punch. Add to this "Naked Fists." a smashing melo drama of the wild west, and a good Pathe News reel, and you have the sparkling week-end bill at the Hip. It remains for tomorrow. WARD, irj JAIL. TRIES TO DIE BY DRINK IMG SII WASH ? TOWN TOPICS ? n ADDAMS HERE C. E. Addams. vice chairman of the State Council of Defense for Arizona, is a guest of the Adnms Hotel. WOODRUFF IN TOWN E. O. Woodruff, a well known traveling man ef Los Angeles, is a business visitor in town for a few days. FROM HUMBOLDT P. Bittm-r. a well known mining man from Humboldt was numbered among yesterday's busi ness visitors in town. Harvey Ward, charged with grand larcen;, drank a quantity of throat wash preparation at the county jail last night in an attempt to end his life. Dr. H. H. Faulk, formerly of the national army and now connected with the local board, who was in the sher iff's office at the time, attended the prisoner and soon relieved him of his suffering. Other prisoners summoned Deputv Sheriff J. E. O'Neil when they heard Ward groaning and saw him frothing at the muoth. After Dr. Faulk had at- at the mouth. After Dr. Faulk had at tents of the bottle from which the medicine had been drunk and said that "if he had drunk the whole bottle it would have not killed him; but the amount taker, into the system was ample to cause violent cramps." Ward, who a short time ago was arrested in connection with the theft of a number of baby bonds, claims he is not of age. He is being held for trial in the superior court. After he was returned to his cell last night he sua ne wisnea nc had taken enough to finish the job. O'Neil reported. When O'Neil asked him the direct oiiestinn why he had taken the throat wash, he replied, "Because .1 wanted to." The-throat wash waa isf. v... eral prisoner when he was rnv.j from the jail. It was a prescription of a Phoenix physician. -o YOUNG SUICIDES ARE MANY IN JAPAN The net result, for which the Chris- committees and camp workers have received many commen dations, has been a noticeable raising of the morale of many men in the service and the development of a bet ter feeling at home regarding the par ticipation of their boys in the service The camp workers say there is an increasing w illingness among the com manding officers and surgeons to al low Christian Science treatment for those men 'who ask for it, and many Christian Science healings have been recorded. Recently, two requests for Christian Science services in hospital wards were received by camp workers from medical nurses who had observed the beneficial effects of Christian Sci ence treatment. In or near numerous camps, the Christian Science committee have erected substantial buildings, with nniot nlaces for reading and writing and other buildings are in course of construction. A light touring car has been added to the equipment of the Christian Science camp workers at each camo to be used wherever, and whenever possible in assisting tne men.

Finder please retilrn same to Gazette office and receive reward. T. T. Turner, ianitnr First M. E. Church. Gazette (The Outlook.) Accordin gto Rev. Sidney L. GulicK, who has lived long in the far eai, suicides among Japanese students are probably more prevalent than among any other students in the world. The causes he mentions are: First, the high strung nerves and exceptional sensitiveness to anything that may be regarded as a personal humiliation; and, second, the extraordinary com petition among students to secure places in the government schools. Dr. Gulick also notes the three causes given by the Christian Litera ture society, of which he is a member. namely, the struggle for existence, the I nandicap of poor physique, and the absence of an enlightened faith. As to student suicides due to fail ure in examinations, it may be noted that in Japan it is not easy to enter any schools. Of the boys 13 and 14 years old who strive by competitive examinations to enter the middle schools, only 61 per cent, we learn, though intellectually qualified, are admitted. The rest are excluded for lack of room. In Tokio, the annual applicants for admission to the higher institutions are several times greater in number than can be admitted. A year, ago more than 500 youths were refused admittance to the Doshisha, the only Christian university in Ja pan, entirely because of lack of ac commodations. It is interesting to compare the above with the statement that sui cides among German school children are widespread. This leads to the i conclusion that these catastrophes, both in Japan and Germany, may be due to stiU another factor than those mentioned. namely, to the ingrained teaching of materialism. If boys and girls are taught that material success is the measure of life, and do not achieve it, they naturally feel that life Is a failure.
