He Goes to Sleep in Face
of Revolver and Threats

It takes a lot OF excitement tc
keep Herbert Bartlett of the Union
hotel, 18th and Market, awake at
might. Bartlett Is a teamster en-
ployed at Camp Lewis.
At Q o'clock Friday morning
Bartlett was awakened by the
screams of a woman and a pound
ing on his door. He opened the
door to find a colored woman beg
ging for help, and a big colored
man threatening her with injury
IL she did not pay him SO cents
which he claimed she owed.
Bartlett told the man to get out
and showed him partially down
stairs. In a moment the man re.
appeared with two companions,

each armed with .3S revOlvers.
Bartlett closed his door calmly and
started to go back to bed.
The colored men aimed their re-
volvers at him throu q transom
and threatened to shoot He dar-
ed them to. They they asked him
to come out in the hall and be
killed. Bartlett replied by turn
ing off the light and going to bed.
'How did you sleep after all

when Bartlett reported the affair
at police headquarters Friday.

said the teamster. But | didn' I

Motherhood Preparedness Big
Factor In Saving the Babies
BY. DIR. Il. TRUBY KING
Worlds Foremost Baby Saving

BY. DR. II. TRUBf KING
Worlds Foremost Baby Saving
Expert.
How does New Zealand main
tain the lowest infantile death
rate in the world?
| can answer best by first stat
ing another question and then ex-
planning how we in New Zealand
have met it.
That question is: What has
been the prime cause. common to
all countries of q high rate OF
mortality among infants?"
AS to the relative importance
of the various factors initiating
against the child nowadays, I
think we must agree that before
everything else stands UMPIRE
PAREDNESS FOR MOTHER
HOOD.
When the problem of the in
FAINT death rate dawned upon VI
first in all its vastness, it was
this need of preparing girls and
young mothers for their greatest
duty in life which seemed to US
the crucial factor in the solution
of the problem.
Educate Mothers.
The education of mothers In
mothercraft was the task we set
for ourselves. And the credit for
reducing the infant death rate Of
New Zealand to S per cent be-
longs as much to the mothers of
New Zealand as to the society
which we formed to deal with
the child welfare problem and
another factor has been the pro-
vision of state maternity hospi-
tails and the training and regis
tration OF maternity nurses by
the state.
The mother has been our agent
in the home. She must always be
the executive. 1t has been our
greatest work-almost our only
work-to put at her disposal all
the knowledge and help which
she required in order to con-
serve the health and strength Of
her children.
The absolute need Of improv-
ing the health and reducing the
death rate of our children was
etartlingly revealed some Is
years ago, when Major General
Sir Frederick Msurice called at
tention to the staggering fact
that only 40 per cent Of the young
manhood of England was proving
fit for serving in the army.
Problem Serious.
When 1t was taken into &C
count that the halt, the blind,
the badly MANNED or stunted, and
those seriously diseased, would
not apply for military service this
meant that at least two-thirds OF
the young mon were disqualified
for military life even IN peacs
| time.
Sir Frederick Maurice tersely
and passionstely summed up the
situation by saying that merely
to fold our hands in the face of
such situation was to proclaim
ourselves guilty Of the greatest OF
all civic crimea-namely, ito
despair OF the state"
So serious was this problem
seen to be that government
commission was appointed to in
yestigate its causes.
The commission in its report
emphasized the fact that before
all else the fault hay with ignor-
ance ON the part Of parents, wide
spread artificial rearing of ba-
bies, and the poor attention which
society gave the rearing OF its
girls from the point Of view oil
potential motherhood, and which
the mothers In turn gave to them
selves and their babies. .

MAY RENOvATE
 ! AJO COMP ANY

The present somewhat muddled fi- nancial condition of the Ajo Mining and Development company were de-. scribed Friday before the state cor poration commission by E. s. Smith, a merchant of Ajo, who has been connected with the affairs of the company for only a short time. d
 The company owns some 26 cop per claims which are said to be of fair value, but the affairs of the company had been handled in such a manner it appeared, that little could be learned of it's true condition or even of the exact amount of stock that had been issued. Some parties, it developed, had sold several hun dred dollars worth of the stock and had disappeared with the proceeds.
 It was suggested by the commits sion that an effort be made to in- terest new capital in the company, that the debts might be paid and the claims developed as they appeared to merit The principal owners of the company are widely scattered and some cannot be located.

PHONE HEARING ID TAKE PLACE
 EARLY MONDAY

A hearing of considerable interest to the general public will take place on Monday morning at 10 o'clock at the offices of the state corporation com mission in the state house.
 At that time will be heard the appli- cation of the Mountain States Tele- phone and Telegraph company to make numerous changes in its method of conducting business in Phoenix and the outside territory served by this con- pany. These changes are in rates and in rules and regulations concerning the service.
 This hearing was set for an earlier date, but was postponed at the instance of the corporation commission in order that the public might be advised gen. orally of the hearing and attend if it so wishes.
 Among the more important changes asked by the company is the right to change the basic area rates. The com- pany creates certain areas for business, residence and farm telephone service, the rates of service being based upon the particular area. The company asks the right to restrict or enlarge these areas.
 The company also asks the right to make a rule that no one except mem- bers of the family of telephone sub- scriber or employe of a subscribing | firm be allowed the use of the tele- l phone.
 The company desires the right to disclaim any liability to the subscriber for errors in the telephone directory. l The company asks the right to assess a penalty or fine, ranging from $1 to S2.50, before re-connecting or rein | stalling service after it has been dis rcontinued for non-payment of service | charges or other breach of contract l The company desires the right tC limit the length of conversation to five minutes duration.
 1 The company asks the right to be | allowed to collect payment in advance l for a period of three months or more from subscribers of no known financia responsibility, the necessity for the charge to be determined by the com. pany.
 In cases where the cost of establish. ing service is in excess of $35 per pa. tron, the company asks to be allowed tt charge the subscribers for the con.
 struction costs in excess of s35 each with the understanding that the equip
 ment so paid for by the subscriber shal
 be donated to the company.

SIDES IF
 CASE ARE TOLD

Declaring that the suit was insti- gated by meddlesome neighbors, Francis M. Winter, oil stock sales man, claims that he has been mis- used in, being made the defendant of failure to provide case. There are two charges against Winter, one for failure to provide for his wife and the other for failure to provide for his four minor children.
 Winter claims that wien business was not as good as it should have been for him in Phoenix, he accepted a position to sell stock in Oklahoma. When he left here his family was established with his parents, MT. and Mrs. A. J. Winter of Mcdowell where they had made their home for years. He said the women of the district played the part of busybodies and the consequences were that he was arrested. In an interview given at the conclusion of the hearing at which he offered no evidence. he de- clared that he had receipts that would show how well he had sup ported his wife. MT. Winter stated that he had left his wife in the home that he had occupied-in the home where lived his father and mother.
 Judge W. L. Barnum, counsel for Winter, asked for a dismissal of the case after the state rested, that was denied by Justice Wheeler.
 Upon the defendant offering no evidence, Winter was bound over to the superior court in the sum Of $1,00O bail, which was furnished.
 Prominent residents of the Creigh- ton district took the stand and told a vastly different story from that of the husband. They told of the wife and four children in need of food and clothing which had been supplied them by different neighbors. Mrs. T. T. Powers, Mrs. Mary Langdon, Mrs. Clara Woodbridge and E. H. Washart told of taking bread, milk and clothing to the family after they left the Winter ranch where they had come to feel they were no longer welcome. They testified as to the shabby appearance of the kiddies and declared that they were not properly nourished
 Miss Grace Mauzy, a teacher in the Creighton school, testified that she observed the eldest daughter, Eleanor, whom she had in one of her classes She stated that for a period of several days she noted the child had only one bread and butter sand wich for her lunch. She said she then consulted the Parent Teachers association and one of it's members provided luncheon for the child for a week.
 Mrs. Winter and the children have received county aid for the past sev- eral weeks.

LIFE NJ JOKE
 FUR MRS. JJOKA

Married life has not been a joke to Mrs. Misica Kadayalla Joka, according to her allegations against John Doe Joka, her Mohave Apache husband from whom she is seeking legal sep aration.
 Mrs. Jolza claims that her husband has compelled her to camp out of doors and has exposed her to all kinds of weather. In addition to failing to pro- vide properly for his wife and four children the wife alleges that her hus- band when ''very cross'' has called her vile names. She contends that at all times she has done everything in her power to make home for her husband and their children and has always con- ducted herself with propriety.
 The couple were married on the San Carlos reservation in 1900. They have four children, Watt aged 15, Naoim, s; Deegega, 2, and Deesequeega, 5.

While the picture is primar fly a patriotic one, Washington, Lin coin and Wilson appearing upon the screen, there is also a beautiful story interwoven in which the spirit of fra ternalism as exemplified by the mem- bers of the Woodmen of the World, predominates.
 In this connection officers of Phoe- nix Camp, Woodmen of the World, urge all choppers to see this unusually interesting picture. Particularly of interest from an historic standpoint will be the pictures of President Will son attending the head camp meeting of the Woodmen at Omaha last sum- mer. In spite of the fact that this Woodmen picture is featured there will be no advance in Empress prices.
