RERD STARVING TOTS
AWAY FROM GERMANY

That food conditions in Germany
arc so frightful that the government
Is shipping babies by the carload, like
cattle, to suburban points in Dem
mark; that the German government is
Intriguing in Cuba 70 force interven-
ton by the United States. and that
the entarnce of Cuba actively into the
war is considered by European neu-
trails as presaging the entry Of all
Latin America into the war sooner or
later arc some OF the observations
made BY Or J Bughici Hirsch who
reached the city last night He came
direct from Cuba. where he went
about a month ago after touring the
por ions Of neutral and war-stricken
Europe
Dr. Hirsch, who originally came
from Rumania, is now q resident OF
New York City. and went TO Cuba from
Europe to Investigate conditions
All these stories told about MUS
uce and disorders and rebellions by
the Cubans are for the most part
falsehoods," said DR. Hirsch. at the
Hotel dupont, in speaking of Cuban
conditions THE trouble Is just this,
the German government is anxious to
foment so much disorder in Cuba that
the United States Will be compelled
TO intervene there and then Germany
can urge all other Latin-American
countries to watch this country and
so start a propaganda to prove that
Cuban Intervention means that Uncle
Sam intends to try 10 run all Latin
American countries. But the Cubans
are not deceived by the propaganda
Of the Germans. Every disturber and
most OF these are political malcOn-
tents, is IN Jail and Cuba's answer TO
Germany's intrigue IS an offer Of
$4,000 men TO the United states to go
to Europe to fight the case of world
freedom"
DR.. Hlrsch said that conditions In
the Scandinavian countries OF Europe
are bad, and that the recent food en-
barge legislation of the United states
is going TO hit Norway and Sweden
hard. because those countries depend
almost entirely on this country for
their supplies. DR.. Hirsch says that
throughout neutral Europe the feeling
Is strong that the entrance OF the
United States into the war Is going to
hasten the end OF the bloody carnage,

MT. and Mrs Jay Walker and their large family of sons and daughters will leave Phoenix shortly for parts un- known. Declared undesirable citizens by Chief of Police George Brisbois, they have been notified that their immediate departure will be appreciated. Chief Brsbois believes that it will not only be for the best interests of the city but for the Walkers themselves who are in grave danger while they remain in Phoenix. He has not made an order in the case but has quietly let his position in the matter become known. While the official deeply sympathiZes with tue family, he considers it his duty to giN Q the matter his attention.
 MT. Walker, he says only saves a moment, or two When he dashes madly across the street at the risk of life and limb. Mrs. Walker does not gain very much time and certainly does not add to her attractiveness by tearing along the streets and cutting corners that she might reach the picture show in time for the first reel of the feature. The little Walkers find their greatest amusement in seeing if their speed eX- eels the passing car Generally they beat them to it for speed laws are rec ogniZed in the city.

|T'S DANGEROUS
 TO HUNT QUAIL
 AT r. M 'DOWELL

SportSmen who have made a prac- tice of hunting quail out of season in the vicinity of Fort Mcdowell will do well to beware of the "booey man in the future because it is rumored that there is a really and truly "BoOgy man" lowering in that community who is going to catch all the naughty men that don't observe the state game laws.
 Said "bOogy man" made his appear ance at the state house yesterday af ternoon and made personal application before Governor Thomas Campbell to be appointed d deputy state ~ame war den in order that a portion of the per sons violating the game laws can be brought to justice. The matter is now being given consideration by Mrs M E. Craig, acting game warden.
 T. l.. Beson stockman in the Indian service at Fort Mcdowell, was the true spirited citizen who appeared before Governor Campbell yesterday and stated that he was willing to donate his services in prosecutin~ the state game laws He stated that it was not un- common for a great number of sports men to motor to the Fort Mcdowell community each Sunday and proceed to shoot all quail in sight.
 The situation was immediately re- ported to the game department and il is highly probable that Mir. Beson will be appointed u deputy game warden within due course of time

 Even though the Phoenix yellow streak" was an eye sore Brisbois be- lieves that the painted line at Wash lington street and Central avenue served to illustrate to a few how to turn the corners.
 "The Jay Walkers are taking theii ! own chances and pretty big chances al that" says the chief Let them bring a suit for damages some day after being run down by then own carelessness and the jury return judgment for the defendant and they will learn to be bit more careful.

|i..c period for the filing of petitions Of nomination of candidates for the city commission closed last evening, with six aspirants under the wire. Two of these. Charles H. Dunlap and George N. MacBean, are incumbents and aspire to succeed themselves. The other four are new candidates.
 There are two offices to be filled at the general spring election. Dunlap and MacBean propose to go before the electors on their records. Dunlap is filling the unexpired term of Oscar T. Richey, and this is the first time he has approached an election as a candi- date. MacBean is closing his first two year term and seeks reelection.
 Davenport, long time resident of Phoenix, is bOokkeeper for the Ryder Lumber company. and a man well known in building circles.
 Moore for many years has been credit man for the E. s. Wakelin Gro cer company, and has always taken a large interest in municipal affairs.
 Work is active in church circles. as well as in civic organizations. He was at one time employed in the city offices of the Santa Fe railroad, and later as bookkeeper for the Ezra Thayer Hard ware company.
 Lount is one of the best known bus mess men of Phoenix, and besides hay ing large property interests, is man ager of the City Ice Delivery company
 Under the requirements of the city charter and in accordance with the registration for the last general city election, each of the petitions filed must carry at least 130 names of qual- flied electors of the city of Phoenix Each candidate, too, must be a tax payer of this city The work of checking up the petitions filed up to 7 he closing hour last evening, will be commenced by the city clerk at once and when this work is completed he will report his findings to the city commission and to the candidates. As all of the petitions carry many names in excess of the number actually re quired by law, there seems little doubt but that all will be found qualified.
 Supplemental registration for the ap- preaching primaries still goes on slowly. This registration will close on the evening of February 20 and remain closed until seven days following the primaries on March B. The books will then be reopened and remain open until ten days before the general election.
 At the primaries, four candidates may be nominated and the names of the four so chosen will appear on the general election ballot In the event that candidate receives majority of all the votes cast he will be declared

to a successful conclusion.
 The idea having been worked over, adjusted as closely as possible to the present methods of playing auction. tried out in practice and then sub mitted to a number of experts at the older game. It is presented to the card playing world under the name of Pirate Bridge" as a complete solu- tion of the three great objections to auction as now played. These are: the misfit hands, the uncongenial partners, and the long drawn out rub bers.
 Every one knows how provoking it is to make a perfectly legitimate bid and find all the trumps in one hand against it, or the long suit stopped by a player with the queen and ace over you. The one who should have been your partner is your opponent, and your contract is impossible.
 Another common experience is to cut the worst player in the club. or the most unlucky card holder. rubber after rubber. It is just as bad to sit op- posite an uncOngenIal partner. who has a system of bidding with which you have no sympathy, or which you do not understand.
 Long Rubbers
 There is nothing SO tiresome as those long rubbers. with players waiting to cut in. while first one side and then the other is set on the contract as q punishment for attempts to keep the rubber going. The scores above the line may run into the thousands, yet there is nothing in it, as the losses or one side about balance those on the other. In the meantime the players have missed their train or their din ner.

HOUSE LIBERAL
 APPROPRIATION.
 FUR EDUCATION

The house might as well have ad-
 jOurned until next Tuesday in honor
 of the memory of Lincoln, for all the
 progress made in the consideration
 of the general appropriation bill which
 occupied two sessions of the com
 mittee of the whole. The subdivis-
 lon providing for the state university
 were taken up again and when one
 appropriating $100,O00 for a boys
 dormitory was reached, there was an
 amendment proposing that the money
 be spent for a girls dormitOry. There
 was misunderstanding as to just
 what President Von kleinSmid had
 said about that the day before and
 the suggestion was made that it be
 left open for settlement by the uni
 versitt authorities. This could be
 done by the simple process of appro-
 priating the money for "a dorlnitory."
 But MT. Francis found g better way
 than that out Of it by a process as simple as a twist of the wrist-by
 making another appropriation of
 Sl00.0 GOO for another dOrmitory
 Nobody believed that tEe committee wolld consider that amendment seri- Ously, but it was so considered for after little discussion it was adopted by vote of l7 to F. This brings the total appropriation by the state | TOT the university 10 $5Yy, ,OOU.
 Al this juncture. Mir Lines in fit of disgust moved that the bin be re referred to the appropriation commit | tee to amend so that it would carry | for every institution in the state l whatever the head Of that institution ] migh suggest, and the statement was made that many of the increases | were beyond what the heads of the | institutions had dared to ask. In | fact. two domitories had not been asked though in reply to a question | the day before, President Von Klein l Smid had said that the girls dormi- l tory was crowded and another could | be used to good advantage.
 The motion of MT. Lines was op- | posed by both sides, those who flaw l ored economy as well as those in- l cliEed to reckless extravgance. MT. | Peterson of Graham. urged the adop- ! ton of 1t as the shortest course that l the house seemed destined to reach anyway: if money could not be saved ! there would be at least a saving of
 tine. Mir McGrath of GreeHlee. had
 a slightly different plan. He ad-
 vised that the increases be given
