Wuxtrie! Two kings and as many queens arrested and thrown Into jail! Prince escapes through barbed wire fence! Princess eludes sheriff by crawling under automobile! Royalty took a tumble last night when three posses of deputy sheriffs raided a gypsy camp at Twenty-second street and Buckeye road- The raid re sulted from a complaint that a gypsy had robbed a boy of J20. It was found that the first car to arrive at the sheriff's office carried the royal high nesses of two tribes. The queens and entouratre followed. At the sheriffs office helr royal highnesses the princess and masculine followers were given quarters in the cell room while the queens and their maids In attendance were entertained In the main office. SJie who appeared to be the high queen of the outfit pulled out a black pipe, extracted a package of chewing tobacco from some hidden recess among the ample folds of a balloon like skirt, rolled a good sized end lr.to powder, filled the bowl, bor rowed a match from the sheriff and proceeded to settle herself down to all thn enjoyment which the occasion offered. r ''Not so bad a place," she remarked and after taking several self satis fying puffs bethought to offer Sheriff Montgomery a chew from the well filled sack. This temptation from a queen was turned down by the rep resentative of law and order, who maintained that the dignity of his of fice did not permit the swapping of such peace tokens. Following the example of their queen the ladles of the entourage produced cigarettes and soon the circle of women was veiled In a heavy cloud of gray smoke. "Got eleven children to look a$ter, finally grunted the queen. She was assured by the solicituous sheriff that the younger generation of all the tribes was being looked after. and cared for. Mother Instinct satis fied, the queen then suggested it was time to eat, and Jailer Isaac was dele gated to escort her highness to a near by restaurant. "I am touring feeing lemons, or anges and grape fruit wonderful country," the queen remarked when urged to explain the reason for her presence In Phoenix, "This trouble matter I know nothing of it. Never before have I had trouble always happy." ' ' Some of the wandering gentry seemed unwilling to accept the invi tation extended by the men from the sheriffs office and many fast races were staged across the fields of cotton and in and about the little1 tent city. Deputy Sheriff Al DeWitt had an es pecially thrilling chase after a demure gypsy maid who refused to be coerced into the auto which waited to take her to the county baetile. She darted around a tent with Deputy DeVitt a close EPcond. At tho quarter stretch she veered from the track, into the fence and through the barbed wire en tanglements. The deputy sheriff man ared to overcome the handicap ana gain a little on the straightaway be yond the fence. But the gypsy woman squeezed herself under a nearby motor car and when Uewltt followed ne - ... was quicker at the eet-a-way ana managed to entirely elude her pursuer. I After investigating all the gypsies brought into the office and failure to identify any particular one as the al leged pnrloiner of the $20 a compro mise was affected whereby the sum of money was made up by members of the tribes and returned to the boy. All were released with the provision thev leave the city. They returned to their camp in their own automobiles. which ranged in size and capacity ac cording to the status of the owner among the tribes. o Toft's Country Club If yoa missed the motor specials for the past two nights at Toffs Country club you want to make amends by be ing at the club early every night this week.

Columbia "Old Lady 31." a picturizatlon of that quaint and amusing play by Rachel Crothers. was shown on the screen at Maui's Columbia theater yesterday. A large and enthusiastic audience de ngniea in tne clever character cor- tray;il given by Emma Dunn, who is starred in this screen version of the drama which has enjoyed phenomenal success on the sneaking stage under the management of Lee Kugel. "Old Lady 31." although it of course lacks the violent action and so-called "thrills" of melodrama and the hectic "movie" serials, proved to be an ab sorbing story of devotion that cap tured the entire sympathy of the spec tators and held their attention spell bound to the end.

The Stevens party was especially active in educating the children of the city in matters of fire prevention. Besides Mr. Stevens, the party included Chief Allen Green of San Diego and Mr. Harrison and Mr. Snively of San Francisco. Not only were children advised against carrying or playing with mitches and drilled in emergency measures to be used in case of fire, but the experts on fire prevention also offered some excellent suggestions for property owners. Mr. Stevens, during the conrs of his campaign here, stressed the following facts: ' Fire controlled is your best friend. Fire rampant is your worst enemy.
