ASKS RALST0N TO GIVE
HER PAPA FOR CHRISTMAS
Governor Wccps at Plea of 10 Year
Old Girl Seeking Fathers Re-
lease From Prison.

INDIANAPOLIS. Ind. Dec. T.
A big man. with a big heart like
GOV. RaIston's sometimes cannot
keep back the tears. Indiana's exc
cutive Wednesday passed through
one of the most touching incidents
OF his term in office.
All / want for Christmas is my
papa"
This was the plea Of a 10 year
old black-haired black-eyed girl
who had been ushered into Gov
Ralstons room. That was all she
could say. Her words became sohs
and soon all was smothered against
the breast of Mrs Ralston. who hap
pened 10 be i'm the executive office.
Motherly tenderness finally quoted
the child and when questioned. said
that her name was opal Iseley. and
that her father was at Michigan
City. She had told her mother that
she was 10 visit the state museum
with other pupils of her school. but
her only purpose was 20 intercede
for her father. Her mother did not
know Of her mission.
IL developed that the girls father.
Alfred Iseley. was convicted in
April of robbing "a bank at Green
wood. Ind
Gov. Ralston promised the little
girl that he would investigate the
case and see what could be done.

portunity which this dinner affords. Il"
he continued. Ito point out a few is
sues which seem 10 me within the
range OF accomplishment during the
next four years. But before taking
up the things which should be Sc
cured. it is worth while 10 consider
for moment two things that should
be prevented.
Points Railway Control Dangers
An effort is now being made by
the railroads TO secure legislation.
and. if necessary. a constitutional
amendment. depriving the states Of
all regulative power over them, and
giving 10 congress exclusive control
over railroad regulation. The con-
solidation Of all railroad legislation
at Washington would not only trans
fee 20 the national capital an amount
OF work which would overwhelm the
national authorities. and therefore
decrease the efficiency OF federal SUI
pervisiOn but il would bring a rail-
road influence into the election of
every congressman and every sena-
tor as we'll as intensity the railroad
interest in presidential campaigns.
1t would do more than that. II
would practically obliterate state
lines. and lead 10 a Capitalization
which would threaten the very ex-
istence of our dual form of govern
ment"

 The new field kitchens, comprising two enormous ovens, are capable Of turning out 5,4o0 one-pound loaves of bread daily. A one-pound loaf of army bread is a days ration for a sol- dfer in the field. The estimated cost of carrying this bread from the border to the bases in automobile trucks. was $50 per day for gasoline fuel alone. More important than the saving in money was the release of automobiles space released can furnish. for exam pie, a daily grain supply for about one regiment of cavalry horses.

by the infantrynnen have made up for considerable portion of a variety of difficulties. Troops have made record marches during their first day out but according to men in the base camps the men are in condition not Only to repeat but to exceed their past per formances.
 This was a. hot day at the head quarters camp, the men seeking relief in fishing, swiTnrningA and such other customary American recreations as they could devise on a, broad and ex- tremely dusty mesa with a small ice cold river running through it. There was not a fishhook in the entire camp this morning but by night the supply of nails, pins and needles had been visibly reduced, having been hammer cred and twisted into fishing tackle which really caught fish. The old reliable safety pin was found to make a few pins available. For lines the men used small rope or thick cord.
 During the rest hours in the camp among the soldiers hardly a word of discussion about the significance of this Mexican expedition was heard. The officers, however, discussed the Mexican situation guardedly,{ from many angles. but all of those in camp here were outspoken about one de- sire, namely, to hurry southward and join the pursuit of Villa
 Today at headquarters the men stopped using the creek water and obs tained water from snai1ow wells dug since the base was established here. The change was not made on. account of fears of the purity of the creek water but for convenience. The drinking water wells were obtained by drilling a few feet through what appeared to be bottomIess dust.
