DEFENSE
 FREES SLAYER.

Freeman Greer, the negro who shot
 and killed a Mexican in a dispute over
 card game at Chandler last summer, was given his liberty yesterday when Judge Stanford dismissed the case on motion of County Attorney L. M. Laney.
 Mir. Laney stated that the man charged with murder had committed the crime in self defense, also stating | that this was clearly snown at the pre-

liminary hearing. The officers, believ-
 ing that more evidence would be forth
 coming, had the negro bound over to the superior court, according to the county attorney. Should the case go to trial he assured the court the only outcome would be an instructed verdict.

the lodge submitted his report of bus

to be regretted and that is the lack
of interest taken by the machinists

that the organization is bringing
them, and who hesitate to become
members of this union. They are

When war came, there was imme-

station, facilities which would link up
every end of the military and naval
establishments with Washington.
Each of 16 cantonments meant tele-

city of 10000. and each meant trained
operators, switchboards and lines.
This required about $10,0O0.000 added

Refugees Eat Grass
In the winter the Associated Press
correspondent made a tour of inspec-
ton around a score of the frontier
towns, where the largest proportion
of refugee population had been
dumped in the hurried retreat before
the German hosts. Conditions were
serious beyond description, but the
major part of the suffering was due
to famine rather than to exposure.
The shortage of food was such
that in many instances refugees were
seen in the fields eating-or at
tempting to eat-grass.
Terrible as was the plight of the
people of these refugee districts in
wartime, they can hope for little
alienation with the coming of a

Rumania Is No Asset
to the Central Powers

London.-Rumania is a desolate
and barren country to-day, an awful
object lesson of the rost of war. Two
years ago it was one of the garden
countries of the world, teeming with
agricultural wealth and prosperity.
More than 100000 Russian soldiers
lived in it and on it for nearly year
and they left very little behind them.
Any one who has known Rumania
as she was when peace was forced
upon her eby the Central Powers
must be convinced that it will be
years before Germany can draw
from her fields and orchards any
very valuable tribute.
