GERARD'S WIFE WINS
PRAISE IN GERMANY
Appreciation Shown For Her
Efforts In Feeding Aliens.

Berlin.-Mrs. Gerard, wife of the
ing to her friends at home for funds
to carry on the American relief kitch-
en- of Berlin, which has daily fed some
200 women and children, the families
of men who are aliens In Germany and
therefore placed in concentration
camps, following the action which
Great Britain and France took In the
internment of aliens In those countries.
The American Association of Com
merce and Trade in Berlin gave the
money to run the kitchen for six
months when its doors were opened
last year in the quaint little building
In the Schlesische strasse, where Mrs.
Gerard and her committee of Ameri-
can ladies found an unoccupied house
in the factory district of the east side.
Mrs. Gerard herself gave the coal sup
ply for the winter, SO that the place
was kept open all afternoon, many Of
the women and children having no
other place where they could keep
warm. The money was spent so eco
nomically that 81 furnished seven
wholesome meals.
This winter the enterprise is without
funds, and the doors of the American
relief kitchen have not been opened to
the crowds Of hungry, poorly clad wo-
men with babies in their arms and
clinging to their skirts who mournful-
ly stand around and gaze through the
windows.
Long purses and generous ones
among the American colony have been
taxed to the utmost by the charity
needs arising from the war, and Mrs.
Gerard has won appreciation not only
in Berlin, but throughout Germany for
her large contributions of money and
the devotion Of almost all of her time
to the alienation of distress. On Nov.
II the German government sent her
Red Cross decorations of the first and
second class to commemorate her serv-
ices in connection with the effort to
help German prisoners of war in Rus

ONE POET OUT OF PLACE.
When Wordsworth, In Borrowed Fin

When Wordsworth, In Borrowed Fin
cry, Attended a Royal Function.
1t is not easy to imagine Words
worth, the gentle poet, in the midst of
the glittering artiiciallties Of court life.
Yet he once actually presented that
picture. How slender was the tie that
bound Wordsworth TO the court during
his seven years tenure of the laureate
ship may be judged, says W. Forbes
Gray in 1.-THE Poets Laureate" by the
fact that he wrote no official poems
and that on only one occasion did he
leave his retreat in the heart of his be-
loved lake land to attend a court func-
ton. In May, 1845, he obeyed an i'm
perative summons of the lord chamber
lain to attend state ball at Bucking-
ham palace
There must have been, as Professor
Knight remarks, something not lit
tie incongruous In the severely simple.

kind" Wordsworth went not only to
the ball, but to the queens levee, In a
court dress belonging to Samuel Rog-
ers and wearing sword once owned

On returning home the laureate
wrote an interesting account Of his
novel experience to his American
friend, Professor Reed: THE recep-
ton given me by the queen, at her ball,
was most gracious. Mrs. Everett, the
wife Of your minister, among many
others, was a witness to 1t, without
knowing who was. 1t moved her to

in part produced, suppose. by Amer

PRETTY WOMAN AND
 YOUTH BEAT IT.
(From Wednesdays Daily)

\ pretty young woman who gave ! the name Of Mrs Adams and sallow ] faced youth named Magill, who claim,
 ed 10 be her chauffeur, yesterday
 made one of the fastest getaways from Prescott on record, after having been requested by County Attorney Nor
 gan to do the county of Yavapai 2
 great favor by leaving it and not 1 coming back.
 The couple was arrested at the
 Henrietta mine camp Monday by Justice of the Peace Ben Mowday, of
 Humboldt They are said to have ar
 rived at the Henrietta camp in a big automobile several days ago. Mrs. Adams. it is alleged. asked for lode- ing at the camp on her arrival. which was given her. A few hours later the
 feminine residents of the camp no ticed that Mrs. Adams house was | becoming quite popular with the male population, and they complained to Justice Mowday. The latter invest;- gated and, as there was no officer at the camp. placed the couple under ar
 rest and brought them to Prescott where they were placed in the county jail.
 Yesterday morning County Attor ney Morgan talked over their case with the man and woman. and was told strange story, which, he says. ''sou1ds like it might have been true. Mrs. Adams said that sine was q married woman and had gone to Los Angeles from Alaska recently. In the Angel City she bought an automobile and hired Magill, who had been work ing as a waiter in several clubs, as chauffeur They ran a stage line and auto rental service in Los Angeles fo- a while, she said, and then decided to start stage line between Los An geles and Oatman. Five passengers were secured to make the first trip On arriving at Oatman, said Mrs. Adams, she and Megil decided that the roads between that city and Los Angeles were too rough 10 suit them and so they came to Prescott. She claimed that for several days she tried to get work in Prescott bul failed.
 She heard that cook was wanted at the Henrietta camp. according to her story. and she and Magill drove there in the machine. They were un able to explain their suspicious ac tions at the camp, but Mrs. Adams insisted that Magill was with her only in the capacity of chauffeur. In spit of this, she and the chauffeur staged fearful scene at the county jail yes terday when Magill was released from his cell and was folded in a close em brace by his employer.
 County Attorney Morgan decided that it was not worth while to prose cute the pair but told them to get oui of the county as soon as possible and they did so. at the rate of about 90 miles an hour

NELSON SHOWING REGARDED AS
 WONDERFUL
3,200 FOOT LONG TUNNEL
 HAS NOT HAD A BREAK IN ITS BIG ORE SHOOT YET.
(From Saturdays Daily1

In reviewing development on the Nelson during the past month. Ed. Block and Lester Jackson. who re- turned 10 the city Wednesday night from Crown King, speak in decidedly optimistic terms of the general show ing.
 While We are not interested direct ly or indirectly in the Nelson," they said, lore contents from the mouth to the face of the 3,200foot tunnel. show mineral condition in a continuous shoot that Is without counterpart in mining in tnis State for 2 gold propo sition. Ii IS remarkable property and our observations can be substan- tiated by an examination by any man. whether a practical miner or a con sulting engineer. As this tunnel Is being driven ahead to tap condition outcropping on the surface, there has not been from the inception of this big development the slightest indica- ton of a break in the well-dchncd shoot occurring. The values also
 
 this tunnel a better grade ore is cut into. During the past month devel- opment has only added to the attract i've rating which this property has en- joyed in recent months. and it may be conservativcly stated that the Ncl son is made mine in every sense which this assertion may be consid- cred. Production as yet is secondary. and the closing up of certain explora- ton will be eagerly awaited for future development to afford additional sur prises. if such are possible. From a productive viewpoint. sufficient devel opment already has been accomplish ed to warrant this property to begin treating its immense resources and this action IS now under consideration. In connection with this remarkable mine showing, there are only two fac tors behind the steady advance which Bradshaw mines today are making and they are the successful treating of complex ores of that field by the Randolph Gcmmill Reduction Co.,, and the principle of deep mining as it has been so convincingly proven in the Nelson. These two elements are re- generating the country, and the re- viving of many old mines snows the trend of capital which has set in in earnest for that attractive mineral country"
