RUSSIANS TURN
ON .PURSUERS
Heavy Loss to Austrians
When They Attempt to
Cross River. +
STORM WITH BAYONETS
Cars Troops Annihilate Enemy's
Garrison Capturing 40 Officers and
100 Men.

Petrograd, June 25.-Russlan
troops in southeast Galicia nave IN
flicted heavy losses on Austrian
troops attempting to cross the Dn'es-
ter.
"In the region Of Kosmierzhyn on
Wednesday we stormed with the bay
onet a strong Austrian position on
the mountainside," said an official
statement today. "Our troops ami
hilated most of the enemy garrison,
taking the survivors prisoners.
"Near Rouzdwiany, we repulsed
enemy forces who crossed the Dnles-
ter Wednesday morning, capturing
forty officers and LOO men. The
enemy is now attempting to maintain
his positions in group of houses
on the opposite bank and is offering
desperate resistance. A terrific
struggle is going on at this point.
The war office admitted that at
certain points German troops sue
ceedcd in crossing the Dniester, but
declared that at other points the
enemy has been thrown back across
the stream in great confusion.
London. June 25.-The Russians
are still retreating in the East: the
French are slowly gaining at certain
points on the western front.
With the fires set by the retreat;nc
Russians still burning, the Austro-
Germans are now firmly established
at Lemberg and have shown no sign
of ceasing their offensive.
The battle Of the Dneister. to the
south of the city, is not yet over.
but, according to Berlin, General
Linsingen has been able to throw
his FORCES across the river, a fact
which is taken in some quarters to
presage another Russian defeat.
With !Galicia, all but :cleared of
Russians, the weight Of Austro-Ger-
man forces released in that theater
must soon be felt somewhere, but
opinions are developed as to whether
it will be on the western front or in
Poland. One theory is that the Ger
mans will launch against Warsaw
another terrific attack, similar 20
their drive in Gaicia. This coin
cides wit h the belief that it is the
Austro- German plan to batter Rus
sia more before turning west.
Opposed to this are reports that
troops from Galicia are already jour-
neying westward and that Germany
plans to start fresh campaign in
the near future along the Belgian
coast.
Lemberg is celebrating the return
of the Austrians and Vienna has
not yet ceased her feVelry at the
recapture Of the city. Petrograd,
meanwhile. continues to depreciate

Movement. protesting confidence
that it will have no bearing on the
ultimate outcome of the war

 The most acceptable Christmas gift that Phoenix and the Salt River val ley could have had is the news that the Valley bank will be reopened. The announcement was definitely made this morning by the depositors' com mittee.
 Always recognized as one of the strongest and most liberal banking institutions in the state, the news of the closing of the bank by State Audi tor Callaghan on Nov. 10 came as shock and surprise to the thousands of depostirs and tens of thousands of friends of the institution. by the press of the entire southwest dreds of depositors had their entire savings in the bank, there was no,. panic and the depositors took the sit uation calmly-so calmly that their attitude was remarked on favorably by the press of the entire southewest-
 Their first step was the appoint- ment of committee to take charge of their interests and this committees under the leadership of Francis Feile and Dr. J. c. Norton, has done yeoman service and has well deserved the thanks Of the depositors and of the citizens at large.
 After several attempts at reorgan- ization and the introduction of outside capital had failed, proposition was made toAthe depositors by which. if they agreed to take stock in a hold cent of their deposits, the bank would be re-opened.
 This proposition has been accepted and the great majority of the deposit OTIS, large and small, have signed the agreement. This provides that cer- tain assets of the bank are to be turned over to a corporation known as The Valley Bank Adjustment con- pany, which will take over from the bank sufficient assets to pay off the depositors in full, to pay the directors and stockholders, and any surplus re- maining will be turned back to the bank.
 This assures the depositors the pay. ment in full of their deposits so soon as the assets are realized upon, and in the meantime the bank will be re- opened with ample capital and will continue business.
 Phoenix and the Salt River valley are to be congratulated on the fact that the good old bank which has done so much for the city and valley will continue business under auspices that assure it's success.

 Silver City, N. M, Dec. 26-Word has reached Silver City of magnifi- cent donation of money which will provide the town of Tyrone, head quarters of the Phelps-Dodge Con- 'pany in the Burro Mountains, with one of the finest hospitals in the Southwest. The donor in this case is Thomas S. Parker, former owner of the mines which were purchased by the Chemung Company and by them solo to the Phelps-Dodge Corporation, and of most of the land upon which the town of Tyrone will be built.
 MT. Parker was a pioneer of the district and his faith in it's possibili- ties never wavered when company after company abandoned the district as worthless. As a reward of this persevering faith, MT. Parker, eventu- ally sold his holdings for an inn mense sum of money.
 In recent years, MT. Parker has made his home in Washington, D. G., i in Fl Paso, Texas, and in San Diego, California, and it is from the latter city that the news of his gift comes. $5o,ooo Hospital Planned. It is understood that the Phelps Dodge people will meet MT Parker's gift with a similar sum and in this way $50,O00 will be available for the building and it's equipment. As this sum will be more than is needed to supply the camp itself with hospital facilities, it is evidently MT. Parker's intention to leave on the site of his old home, as a monument to his gen. erosity, an institution which will be of benefit to the whole district.
 That the idea is a splendid one those who know the locality will inn mediately admit. Tyrone is located in one of the most beautiful spots in the whole country and enjoys a climate which for health purposes is almost perfect.
 Pioneer of Silver City.
 Thomas s. Parker came to Silver City from Iowa some thirty odd years ago. He was broken down in health, but the climate of this sec tion quickly restored him to full vigor. From the first he became in- terested in mining in the BurrQs, originally going after turquoise. His turquoise holdings became valuable and incidentally he secured a num- Der of copper claims which he sold for large sum to the Chemung Company. About two years ago he sold his extensive land holdings in the same district for another large sum. At one. time he built and ran one of the best equipped health re- sorts in the Southwest, the buildings of which are now used for living quar- ters by the officers of the Burro Mountain Copper company.

FIRST VIOLATION OF THE
 EIGHTY PER CENT LAW

BISBEE, Dec. ,29-Alleging that William Truax, ST. proprietor of the Edelweiss Cafe is employing more than twenty per cent alien labor in his place of business, F. J. Perry, secretary of the local branch of the Western Fed eration of Miners, yesterday swore to a complaint charging Truax with the violation of the Eighty Per Cent Law. Truax was arrested on the, charge. He was released on hisl own recog- nizance. The case was set for hearing on December 31.
 This is the first real applica- tion of the law in the State of Arizona. Some weeks ago a chef in the employ of the Edel- weiss management, brought suit in the federal court to restrain Truax from discharging him. This case was set for hearing on January 4.
 The complainant, in the pres ent case, alleges that the Edel- weiss is employing more than one alien out of every five em- ployed. The case will no doubt form the basis of the test case which will go through the state courts and may eventually be taken into the federal courts.

JONES SAYS 30 PERCENT
 BILL WILL STAND TIES

Phoenix Dec. 31.-Referring to the application which will be made in the Federal court at Tucson yesterday for an injunc- tion against the enforcement of the 80 percent law, Wiley E.. Jones, attorney general, made the following statement:
 we expect to uphold the con- stitutionality of the 80 percent law and also that of Rny of the other initiated measures recent ly enacted in this state on which a contest may be made. The application for an interlocutory injunction on the 80 percent citi- zenship law will probably be re- ferred to the three federal Jud- ges now holding court in Los Angeles, as was done in the re- cent contests on the prohibition amendment

VALLEY BANK ON
 ITS FEET AGAIN

The Valley bank, to be a new organization, will assume the obligations of the old Valley Bank of Phoenix, including the obligations to it's depositors. It will require eight or ten days to complete the new organization legally and make the necessary transfers of the assets of the old Valley Bank of Phoenix to the new Valley Bank, but just as soon as the new organization is completed, the new Valley Bank will open its doors and will be prepared to meet all demands.

gEIks Fifth Annual Ball.

The fifth annual ball of the B. P. o. E. was held on New Years even ing at the Princess Theatre with 250
 members in attendance, about forty couple being present from Morenci.
 A special train was run from the Hill City to accommodate the guests and several made the journey by auto.
 The Princess was beautifully decor
 ated in the lodge colors, purple and
 white while the electric lights were
 shaded in the. same colors. Ever
 the decorative scheme and on the whole the hall was a scene of splen- dor.
 The grand march took place at 9:15 and was led by Exalted Ruler George Reitzer and Mrs. Reardon and upon it's conclusion the dancing was indulged in until 3:30 in the morning. Lunch was served from 12 until 2 in the Princess Confectionery. This part of the program was somewhat of a disappointment to those in charge as special creams and salads had been ordered for the occasion from Jevens of Los Angeles and failed to arrive on account of the defective railroad service. The dainty favors which were to have been given failed to arrive in time for the dance for the same reason However, aside from these inconveniences the dance was perhaps the most thoroughly enjoyed of any held in previous years.
 A novel and amusing feature of the evening occurred at midnight when the large curtain of the stage was raised and there was brought to view a desert scene upon which the cal cium was thrown and on table in the center of the stage a large punch bowl upside down was thrown into relief, this being typical of the drouth to which Arizona will be subject for at least the next two years.

STRENUOUS DAY
 FOR bR|SbO|S
Chief of Police Falls into Abandoned Well and Gets Stuck With Automobile in Arizona Sand, All in One Day

Chief of Police George o. Brisbois had strenuous day yesterday. Be- tween falling to the bottom of an abandoned well and spending an hour hoisting himself out, and becoming stranded with an automobile in the deep sands in the vicinity of the city sewage disposal plant and forced to enlist the aid of a farmer and a team of horses to drag him out, he was again brought to a forcible realiza- tion that the chiefs job is not all a bed of roses.
 An investigation being conducted by the police department relative to some missing property, took the chief and Policeman Thurman down south west of town. When they were well towards the dry river bottom, they en- countered some genuine Arizona sand. The more the wheels of the automo- bile turned. the deeper the tires were driven into the sand. The engine worked beautifully, but the machine refused to budge.
 Finally the water in the radiator gave out and Thurman made a trip on foot of more than a mile to get more water. The class of water he man. aged to secure had worn out it's use fulness for drinking purposes but it sufficed to relieve the radiator trouble. Then the chief and the policeman started again to get the machine back to civilization. At the end of two hours they were within three feet of the same spot where the trouble be- gan. And then in the offing appeared a farmer driving a team hitched to a sauergraut wagon. It didn't take long to ge the team into action just forward of the dash board of the city car and after long pull and hard one, the car began to roll under it's own power.
 That should have been enough for any peace officer for one day. But Brisbois was determined and he start ed out again. this time alone. He went down to where the sage brush and mesquite grow. He began to smell a clue and abandoning his car, he proceeded on foot into the brush. He hadn't gone more than ten feet before the earth fell away from under him and he began falling. He kepLon falling for hours and hours, it seemed and when he landed it was in a shall low pool of muddy water. He looked up and saw only a small openig, pos sibly about the size of a dollar and a half After a while he collected himself, struck a match and took a general survey. He was at the bot tom of a hole, about five feet in cir conference and twelve or fifteen deep. or high, as the case might be. To make a long story short, Brisbois managed after .an hours work. to chamber out of the depths. He would never have told it on himself, but he was forced to because of the mud on his clothes

FRED SPAULDIHG HAS
 HAD ACTIVE CAREER

It is interesting to note something oi the activities of George Fred Spaulding who will lecture at the Phoenix high school next Monday evening". He grad uated from the high school in 1908 after attending the institution for four years. During his attendance at school he was prominent in the school taking part not only in the sports but the oth- CT activities of the school. In addition to membership in the football and baseball teams he was prominent in the debating societies and won the state championship that year in the decla = matory contest.
 Following up his work in the local high school he began taking a promin- ent part in the activities of the Uni versity of Arizona when he attended that institution. He was member of the championship football team of the year played on the baseball team and in the tennis tournament winning the championship of the state and holding 1t for two years In addition to this he took interest in the track teams and continued to interest himself in the literary clubs of the Varsity.
 In selecting the Rhodes scholars, un- der the rules laid down by the late Cecil Rhodes, the applicants for ap- pointment are considered for their standing in school athletics as well as their academic standing. This then stood Spaulding in good stead when he went before the examiners. He won the appointment. He has been in Ox- ford University, as a resident of St. Johns College for two years and has made his mark continuing his interest in those college activities that made him notable while in school and college in Arizona.
