FIFTEEN DAYS FOR VILLA


 restful during the winter months
 FIFTEEN DAYS FOR VILLA When Juan Villa appeared before City Magistrate Thomas yesterday after noon he drew down a sentence of fif- teen dollars or fifteen days in the city jail, after Francisco Martinez had tes- tified that Villa had beaten her and bruised her in an encounter the day before. Villa went to jail.
 IDENTIFIES ASSAlLANT- When three men heat him up and robbed him of s25. he had earned while working near Roosevelt, Bicente Ordunia told the police he knew one of the men and could identify the others. Juan Valen- zuela was soon after in the tolls and will answer before Justice Parker The other two men are still at large Or dunia says that Nalenzuea beat him up and afterwards held him while the other men "frisked" his pockets and rot the money. The affair happened at Sixth and Jackson streets.
 TWO SERIOUS CHARGES-John P. Brown, superintendent of the Indian 1 School, swore 10 a complaint yester- day, charging Ernest Moore with a statutory offense He also placed a similar charge against Vavages Buch. The Indian girls in the cases are both under the age of eighteen The exam ination of Buch will be held at ten o'clock in Justice De Souzas court while Moore will be given his prelim- mary hearing the following hour in the same court.
 A YUMA SUPERViSoR-The many friends of Captain r. $. Ingalls,. for mer surveyor general. will be pleased to learn that he is candidate for county supervisor Of Yuma county with a good prospect of his election. In fact, if Captain Ingalls, cannot be elected in Yuma. no republican can he. Word from Yuma says that thel n 1 has been change of attitude toward the whole republican ticket since the 1 candidates were there. The democrats are now claiming the county for Hunt | by only 450 while earlier they claimed | it by 500 on the basis of Hunts ma ! iority of more than 500 over Cameron | two years ago. Some of the republi can workers of Yuma believe that 1 Campbell will come out of the county with small majority. The change of sentiment there is largely attributed | to the recent visit of Judge Kibbey.

Missionaries and Others Virtu-

May Leave if They'll Remain
Interned for Month.

Washington, Dec. 20.-The two
hundred Americans detained In Syria
and Palestine by the Turkish mill
tarv authorities have been granted
permission to leave via Beirut, on con-
dition that they intern at Beirut for
month to make valueless any military
information they may have.
The United States had repeatedly
made diplomatic efforts to free the
Americans some of whom are mis-
sionaries and others naturalized citi-
zens and until now each effort has
been thwarted by the Turkish mill
tary commander. Ambassador Elkus
at Constantinople reported the Porte's
action to the state department today.
Efforts will be made to have the time
of internment shortened.
The cruiser Des Moines. now at
Alexandria, will go to Beirut to take

AMERICAN RELIEF TO AID

Refugees Filling Odessa, kieV
and Other Cities.

petrograd. Dec. 20.-The passage
across the Russian frontier of thou
sands of Rumanians who have aoan-
doned their houses and property in the
face of the invading Germans and Bull
earians has cast the shadow of new
refuge problem on the Russian en-
pire. These refugees have been pour
ing in to Odessa, Kiev and other
southern Russian cities in a destitute
and helpless condition and present a
problem which threatens to be more
difficult than any which has confront
ed a beIligerent power since the inva-
sion of Belgium.
Russia has only partly succeeded in
colonizing and assimilating the mil
lions of homeless Poles, Jews and
members of other races who fled to
the interior during the first year and
a half of the war. This is naturally
the worst time of the year in which to
care for refugees and the economic
readjustment which the present polit-
ical crisis has emphasized adds to the
difficulty of clothing and supporting
the refugees.
The American relief committee
headed by Thomas Whittemore and
working i'm conjunction with the Ia
tiana committee organized by the en-
press. has made valuable contributions
to the relief work and is now devot-
ing its energies to meet the Ruman-
ian problems. Temporary barracks
and numerous food kitchens have been

SCHOOL IN SESSION TODAY

People can't see a pretty face and
they don't know, or care, whether she
is trying to do her best-if she hasn't
good disposition a girl has no bus
mess being a telephone operator. A
good disposition is the chief essential
of a successful telephone girl, Miss
Oma Trowbridge, chief operator of
the Kansas Telephone company, told
thirty independent telephone opera
tors at the National hotel today. Miss
Trowbridge is conducting the opera
tors school at the annual convention
of the Kansas Independent Telephone
associat ton in session today and to-
morrow.
The work of a telephone operator
differs from that in any other bus
mess, Miss Trowbridge told the opera
tors. 1t is the one business where
personal charm or personality has
nothing whatever to do with success
Only thru sweet disposition can an
operator keep the public good natured
ten fails.
Why They Do 1t.
People wouldn't think of talking
to a girls face the way they do to
her over telephone" said Miss Trow-
bridge. And, no one has any idea
how trying it is to hear complaints
hour after hour of service that you

Unless girl has a sweet disposition
it is impossible for her TO answer such
complaints politely
Miss Trowbridge also went into the
technical points surrounding h e
actual operation of the switchboard.
Economy can be practiced by a tele-
phone girl just the same as by those
employed in other positions.

pendent companies. The mutuals are

rates, T. L. Youmans of OsG-watomie,
president of the association, stated to-
day. That is causing the mutuals to
join the association and it may be pos
sible that resolutions on the necessity
of an almost general increase in rates
will be presented tomorrow by the
resolutions committee.
