 In the past few years large corpora tions have found themselves the victims of many swind,ers, who have alleged serious injuries at the fault of the cor porations, and have sued for large sums in damages In many cases the plaintiffs have received substantial sums for their iniuries, some of which amounted 10 nothing and were merely pretext for the damage proceeding.

SHELTER|NG ROOF
 FOR YOUNG WOMEN
Philsthes Society Has Organized to Give Them Comforts of Home Life.

A home for girls who are alone in the city without any one to look after them or protect them is the newest move made in Phoenix The home has been started and is under the di- rection of the Philathea society. Miss Zimmerman. who is well known in the city and experienced in this kind of work has been given the po- sition of matron For time at least, until certain plans become more matured the young girls home will be located on Third avenue in property leased from MT. Gettsinger.
 The movement was started last Sunday morning at Sunday school when a discussion arose over the young girls who are compelled to earn their own living and are in the city away from all of their friends, and have no protection or guiding hand. 1t Is the aim to give the young girls who are of good standing. a home where they may have large airy rooms, good cooking, and everything that goes with the highest type of modern American home live The girls will have the entire management of the institution, charge what they consider best for all expenses, and even fit up the place as their feminine instincts and pocket books think best The idea is to give the girls a their home The new club will be an en- tirely open one the only requirement. being that the young women must be girls of good character All manner of help will be at hand to assist them Tn any matter that may come up. in fact it will be an undenominationaI institution similar to the Y w. c. A. where the girl who is fighting her way on salary that is not too large may be able to live as her home training has accustomed her to- A home where there will be privileges. sympathy. personal thought and a mutual interest.

 Any young girl who is not satisfied with her present surroundings and may wish 10 get into this new home. may be able to do so by applying to any member of the society or ring up Getssinger Auction house.
