POLITICAL HE
Former State Treasurer
Denies Charges War
rant Issued For Arrest
Of P. K. Lewis
Chicago
in
Declaring that his indictment by
the county grand jury on a charge of
conspiracy is an aftermath of the
last election when he ran for secre
tary of state on the Democratic
ticket and was defeated by Ernest
R. Hall, the Republican nominee.
Harry S. Ross brands tha affair as
a political move.
The former state treasurer, who
was indicted with P. K. Lewis, ap
peared yesterday afternoon before
Judge Stanford for arraignment, but
waa granted until Dec. 14 to enter
his plea to the charge. He was
released under a bond of $1,000.
Mr. Ross was served with the war
rant charging conspiracy yesterday
morning by Deputy Sheriff Al De-
Witt following his arrival from Los
Angeles. Mr. Ross stated he had
been advised on Friday of the in
dictment against him and had left
Los Angeles on the first train for
Phoenix. He went at once upon his
arrival to the office of his attorney,
H. B. Speakman, where he was
served with the warrant. In the aft
ernoon he appeared with his attorney
before Judge Stanford.
To Arrest Lewis in Chicago
Mr. Lewis is said to be in Chicago
and a requisition for extradition pa
pers to the governor of Illinois was
signed yesterday by Ernest R, Hall,
secretary of state and acting govern
or. Attached to the requisition was a
copy of the indictment and a bench
warrant for his arrest. According to
advices from police officials in Chi-
cako. Lewis will be arrested upon re
ceipt of the warrant. He will' be
brought back to Phoenix by Deputy
Sheriff C. P. Anderson, who Is now in
Michigan.
The grand Jury alleges In its In
dictment that Ross and Lewis un
lawfully conspired together for the
purpose of preventing and obstruct
ing the administration of the laws of
the state of Arizona and in carrying
out the alleged conspiracy. Lewis, as
president of the Central Bank of
Wickenburg, had that bank designat
ed as a despository for state moneys,
and Ross in carrying out the alleged
conspiracy deposited and caused to
be deposited from time to time state
moneys and funds In the Central
Bank of Wickenburg, state funds in
excess of the amount the bank wag
entitled to receive under the bond
furnished by it to the etate as a
depository.
The grand Jury alleges In the In
dictment that Ross as state treasurer
did check and draw against the de
posits in the Central Bank of Wick
enburg and that the interest payable
and due to the state computed upon
the daily balances in the bank as
hown by the records and books of
the banks was less than the true
amount of Interest properly and law
fully chargeable to the Central bans
and payable by it to Ross as state
treasurer for the etate.
Charge Law Violated
" Under the state law. the grand jury
alleges In the indictment, certain
banks in the state may be designated
as state depositories for state funds
' when the banks so designated furnish
Scenario Contest of The
Republican Offers Chance
To Enter New Profession
One of the most unusual opportu
nities ever offered In Phoenix, a
chance to learn the scenario writing
profression and in so doing win a
prize, has been given residents of the
valley In The Republican scenario
contest. Scenarios entered in the
contest already are coming Into the
office of The Republican and hund
reds more are expected to follow.
The Republican's big scenario con
test also is giving people of the val
ley an opportunity to realize an am
bition that comes to everyone at
some time or other that of writing a
story. Few persons actually write
one because they think they have no
hope of selling it In competition with
experienced magazine writers, but
that mistaken idea does figure In
this case. Those who enter the con
test are competing with "home folks,"
and not with highly-paid and nationally-known
authors. Names do
not count. Everybody In the Salt
River valley has an equal chance,
and the contest Is open to all, with
no conditions except that the scenario
be in The Republican's hands not
later than 6 p. m., December 30.
Six prizes are offered In The Re
publican's scenario contest, but
greater than the prizes will be the
confidence they will give the win
ners. No one will be content with
the one prize, once it is won, but will
go on writing scenarios and selling
them. Probably every prize will
mean a start In the profession of
writing for the screen.
Scenario writing is among the most
Reams of rhetoric and miles of type could not
more fittingly express our wishes for you than
just the simple homely "Welcome folks," every
day in the year.
We're just a little proud of our new store and
just human enough to be glad so many of our
friends came in to see it yesterday.
The same "Welcome" that was evident yes
terday, plus quality, service and values have
made our new store possible. We'd be mighty
foolish to sacrifice any of them now, wouldn't
we?
Thanking you for coming in yesterday and
assuring you of meriting your continued patron
age, we again say.

attractive of professiops because of
the fact technical knowledge is not
required. One does not have to have
literary ability, as In other writing.
The one thing needed Is a supply of
original ideas. The plot's the thing,
and anyone who can think of the
plots is sure of success, regardless
whether he has had a university edu
cation or only finished grade school.
The fundamental principles of
scenario writing are being told in The
Republican by IL IL Van Loan, and
the fifth of his series of articles ap
pears this morning. A careful study
of his articles will teach anyone how
to write a scenario.
The contest closes in 20 days. Read
Mr. Van Loan's articles and think of
a good, breezy plot. Then start work
on your scenario. Don't delay!

O 'i
most popular periodicals, there is an
article on moving pictures whlcn
should interest every individual who
is endeavoring to become a photo
playwright. It says, m part:
"The next important evolution in
the motion picture industry will be a
marked advance in the quality of the
stories filmed. Scenario writing is
the most experimental and undevel
oped end of the business. The pic
tures producers are aware that an
art which is a copy is never as good
as a copy of nature. For this rea
son, they are looking forward to the
day when original stories will be the
thing."
That day has already arrived, and
th producer admits that th original
story is the thing. He will confess
he has had his fill of adaptations of
books and plays, which, in order to
make screen material, have been dis
torted and twisted and turned until
they could hardly be recognized.
The producer will also admit that
he has made these adaptations
against his better judgment. The
public demanded them. In the fu
ture, the majority of photoplays will
be made from original scripts, writ
ten by photoplay wrights who know
the screen and its technique.
Nine of the biggest successes last
season were original productions,
from original stories. These pictures
grossed approximately, 3500,000 and
$750,000 each. In the future, the
screen author will be supreme. At
present the producers are employing
the best literary talent obtainable to
write their stories. Some of these
writers are being paid as much as
175,000 a year. Isn't that goal worth
striving for, dear reader? Producers
are paying as high as 310,000 for an
original script today, and. they are
willing to pay even more in order to
get what they want.
However, bear In mind, the writers
who are receiving these big prices for
their stories are the ones who spend
time, care and thought in the de
velopment of their work. They realize
that the screen Is a wonderful thins,
and has 25,000.000 admirers who en
joy Its comedies. Its dramas and its
tragedies, every week. These writ
ers take their work seriously, and
they are entitled to the reward they
receive. Some of them are goinst
to be content to write not more than
four or five stories a year, in the
future: because thev want to devote
more study, care and thought to their
work than they have in the past. If
the producer pays such writers $25.
000 each for four or five stories, he
will still be able to make a hand
some profit on those stories, because
they will be the best that the best
screen authors will be aBle to write.
It is almost impossible to put a
valuation on the work of an indi
vidual's brain. A story, providing
it is good. Is worth just as much as
the writer thinks it is, and not one
cent more.
Those who write their stories in
long-hand, in three or four hours, or
even three or four days, must be sat
isfied with the reception those stories
receive from the producer. Those
who spend many real, serious hours,
each day, over their work, in their
desire to turn out a story that will
get results, must not become dis
couraged if it is returned to them.
The producer may have a very good
reason for rejecting it. A great
many elements enter Into the accep
tance of a photoplay. One producer
mav like the story very much, but
perhaps he hasn't a star who could
fit the role. Another may turn it
down because it would cost more
money to produce it than he is in a
position to spend at that particular
time. A third may return it because
it is not the particular type of story
he wants to produce. Some pro
ducers like stories dealing with do
mestic problems; others prefer spe
cial productions, without featuring
any particular actor or actress, while
others want big spectacles, etc. If
the aspirant is thin-skinned and eas
ily discouraged, then it is better he
or she put an end to their ambitions,
as far as the screen is concerned, and
take up some other line of work.
To get anywhere, doing anything,
requires a tenacity of purpose; a will
that cannot be crushed, and a deter
mination that refuses to acknowledge
uefeat. If you really desire to be
come famous as a photoplaywrlgut,
you will. No one, but God. will be
able to stop you. Stick to it, with a
grim persistency, and though your
script comes home a dozen times,
send it out once more, and. maybe
the next time It will be accepted. The
one who succeeds, is the one who
sticks to his task, even thoueh it
takes him to the borders of purga
tory. Then, If he has the right kind
of sturf in him, he will put on an
asbestos suit and wade through it!
Then, he'll start to ascend.
You can't continually fail, doing
anyone thing, unless there a some
thing wrong with you.

bonds with good surety, and such
banks shall be entitled to receive on
deposit for the state, funds not to
exceed the amount of the bond given
as surety. The state law further
state, the grand jury alleges, that the
banks may be designated as active
and inactive depositories, the funds
in active to be subject to draft for
expenses while the funds in inactive
banks shall remain until the treas
urer is obliged to withdraw them.
Active depositories shall pay inter
est at the rate of not less than 2 per
cent, the state law says, according to
the grand jurors, and inactive de
positories shall pay not less than 3
per cent interest for deposits of less
than six months and not less than
4 per cent for deposits of more than
six months, all interest to be calcu
lated on daily balances.
The indictment returned against
Ross and Lewis does not state that
either of them derived any benefits
through the alleged conspiracy, or
that either of them received any ben
efit from the alleged failure of the
bank to pay the correct amount of
interest due the state.

the grand jury on the matter were
