 Later, the vice president slipped un- noticed into a barber shop, hung his coat, collar and tie on hook and de- manded a shave. Some chap in the next chair glimpsed the next to the highest man in national official cir eles and created quite a furore in the tonsorial emporium by loudly whisper ing his discovery.

 The Marshalls will pass the holidays with MT. and Mrs. William E. Kimsey, also of Scottsdale, and will return to Washington and the whirl of the busy law making and social season only after they have rested well and a- sorbed enough Arizona sunshine to last them until back east thaws out in the merry, merry springtime.

ON THE THREE GENT
 FARE CASE |S ON
IRepubIican A. p. Leased Wire1

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 23.-Offi- cials of the state of Arizona and the Southern Pacific railroad began here today a series of conferences to sim plify the record of the federal court in the railroads attack on d 3-cent-a- mile fare order of the Arizona state corporation commission It was ex- pected the conference will terminate about January 6.
 Representing Arizona are R. William Kramer, assistant attorney general: F. A. Jones, Arizona state corporation commissioner and w. N. Sangster, secretary of the commission.
 R. William Kramer, assistant at torney general, F. A. Jones, chairman of the corporation commission, and w. N. Sangster, secretary of the com mission, left here Thursday to attend the conference at san Francisco
 The purpose of the conference is to decide with the railroads attorneys just what evidence is to be introduced to classify and separate it in such a manner that the hearings before the federal court will be expedited.
 Tine case in question resulted when the corporation commission, after a lengthy hearing held in the supreme court CIldlllDeIS at lne state mousse, handed down decision lowering the passenger rates on practically all the railroads in the state to 3 cents The railroads immediately appealed the case to the federal courts, where it has been pending since.
 It is expected that the conference between the Arizona officials and the railroad attorneys will result in the calling of the case at the next session in Phoenix.
 The contest thus far between the railroads and the state has been one of the biggest legal battles ever fought in the state. The mass of testimony introduced on both sides is of an intri- cate nature, and the experts called on the stand gave details to such an ex- 1 tent that it has been found necessary to separate the wheat from the chaff before the case is called.

WASHINGTON, Dec 23.-Con- gresslonal leaders tonight regarded Representative Gardner's announced opposition to republican leader Mann as of much importance. since bit ter fight on the republican side of the house would make certain, it is declared, the reelection of Speaker Clark
 It is not so much the withdrawal of Representative Gardner's personal support of Mir. Mann that eXcites in terest among the leaders as it is the eventualities that may result in the entire progressive republican element At least thirty Republicans is has been generally reported, are strongly in favor of a more progressive policy on the repu )liean side and while n,. such number as this are openly op- posed to Mir. Mann for speaker, they want declaration of progressive principles from whenever they SUD- port for the place before they pledge themselves.
 Thus far Representative Tenroot has made no formal announcement of his candidacy for the speakership. although hes has been urged to do so by some progressive Republicans.

 The bandit grabbed the collection which Robbins had taken up and kicked the glass from the nearest win dow and leaped through. Most of the cash collected by Robbins was dropped on the car floor during the exchange of shots. Many passengers hid under the seats.
 A piece of glass deflected by the bullet from the bandits gun struck Beath over the eye, causing a deep but not serious wound.
 Beath believes his first shot hit the robber.
 Railroad detectives and police searched for the robber without sue cess.

Southwest of Ypres, English detachments attacked but were re- pulsed by our fire and at one place ia hand fighting South of Boes- inghe several of our patrols entered hostile trenches and brought bacK prisoners machine puns and other booty.

RUSSIAN REAR GUARD
 SLOWLY BEING PRESSED
 BACK BY THE TEUTONS
Republican A. p. Leased Wire]

Slowly yielding to the Teuton pres sure, the Russian rear guard in Wal lachia and Dobrudja are being pressed backward to the north. Heavy fight ing is in progress in the vicinity of Rimnik- Sarat midway between the BuZeu and Sereth rivers in Wallachia. Russian advance posts at Bakovitcheni in the foothills of the mountains west of Rimnik- Sarat, were compelled to retire after battles at this point and at Vadulsoresci. An engagement at Balatchenul, south of Rimnik Sarat also is recorded, indicating that the Russian lines still protect that town.
 These engagements are regarded by some Teutonic military critics as an effort on the part of the Russians and the Rumanians to cover the retreat of their armies and Of the Rumanian ref ugees across the line of the Sereth river and to cover the flank of the Russo Rumanian armies fighting in the Carpathian mountains of Moldavia
 Tn Dobrudja, the Russian Rumanian defensive line is reported to have with drawn northward until it is only thir- teen miles south of the northern eX- tremity of that province.
 Only artillery activity is recorded on the Russian front in the vicinity of BdrdnONlcHi.
 Big guns are active also in the re- zion of Hardaumont and Chambrettees, near Verdun.
 Operations on the Macedonian front are being prevented by bad weather
 The American ambassador at Petro- grad delivered the German peace note to the Russian government Saturday and President Wilson's note to the belligerent governments was handed to the Italian foreign minister by the American ambassador at Rome.
 It is unlikely that the reply of the entente powers to the German note will be dispatched before Monday and it may be delayed for ten days, ac- cording to the British foreign office This is attributed to the delays in com munication. It is reported in Paris, however. that the reply is almost fin ished. Rumors are circulating that the entente answer is being drawn up at Rome to be forwarded thence to Ger many.
 It is estimated that the losses of British shipping resulting from the war total 435 steamer vessels, each of more than 1,600 tons, or 12 per cent of all steamships owned in Great Britain at the beginning of the conflict.
